Su Mang fell silent for a moment, leaving room for Shen Zhinian to answer the phone.
Shen Zhinian thought for a moment, then took Su Mang's arm and answered the phone with the other hand: "Mr. Lu, what's the matter?"
It was very quiet on the other end of the phone, and you could vaguely hear conversations in the distance.
Seeing that Shen Zhinian didn't speak for a long time, Su Mang leaned over and asked doubtfully, "Did he press the wrong button? Why didn't he say anything?"
Su Mang's voice completely reached the other end of the phone. Lu Jingchuan's eyes flickered and he whispered: "It's okay, Gao Qian has taken care of it."
"Dududu."
The phone hangs up.
Shen Zhinian put the phone on the table without looking at it, without looking into it or wondering.
The best friend was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized what she was doing, and whispered in surprise: "Is Lu Jingchuan doing a post check? No way? Isn't post check something only done to lovers?"
"What lover?" Lu Yan asked from behind.
Su Mang knew that this was Shen Zhinian's private matter, so he didn't say anything.
But Shen Zhinian just played it off: "It's nothing, Su Mang is joking."
Lu Yan's eyes wandered between the two of them, and he changed the subject wisely: "I have reserved a reservation for the small island in the south tomorrow, and I will arrange a car to pick you up in the morning."
He paused and asked Shen Zhinian for confirmation: "Miss Shen, you are living with Reporter Su now."
"For now, yes."
After getting the answer, Lu Yan raised his eyebrows slightly and nodded to confirm the itinerary with them: "Then I will meet Reporter Su downstairs at eight o'clock tomorrow morning."
Shen Zhinian opened and closed her lips, trying to confirm whether this trip was a deal agreed upon with her or an impromptu activity.
While Su Mang went to the bathroom, Shen Zhinian found Lu Yan and carefully considered his words: "Mr. Xiao Lu, tomorrow's trip is..."
"It was the deal we made with Miss Shen." Lu Yan gave an affirmative answer: "Since Miss Shen and I haven't gotten to know each other that well yet, I think you might be more relaxed by inviting Reporter Su along."
His elegance and thoughtfulness were in full bloom at this moment.
Shen Zhinian's anxious heart settled down, she relaxed completely, and sincerely thanked him: "Mr. Xiao Lu, thank you."
"Don't worry about Jingchuan. Although he and I are brothers, we haven't had much contact since we became adults. This time we just took over Qin Yue, so we had a brief contact."
Lu Yan gave Shen Zhinian reassurance pills one after another.
Shen Zhinian's face finally showed a sincere smile, and he was no longer so wary of Lu Yan.
"Shen Zhiguo and the debt collectors haven't harassed you recently, right?" Lu Yan sounded concerned in a warm voice, and the tenderness in his eyes seemed to overflow.
"No, what happened to them?" Shen Zhiguo and Liu Chang disappeared after that day, as if they had never been here. If Lu Yan hadn't mentioned them, Shen Zhinian would have almost forgotten their existence.
Lu Yan chuckled lightly, with a casual and lazy attitude: "The mountain man has his own clever plan."
The two of them were leaning against the railing, chatting and looking at the night scene. Su Mang and his aunt were whispering behind them: "Aren't they a good match?"
"It's a good match, but the little girl doesn't like Mr. Lu very much yet, does she?"
"Because she is still in the fire pit, just wait until I pull her out." Su Mang nodded confidently.
At eleven o'clock in the evening, Lu Yan sent the two of them downstairs to Su Mang's apartment. Su Mang held Shen Zhinian's hand and said goodbye to Lu Yan while laughing.
Watching them leave, the smile on Lu Yan's face gradually disappeared, he made a phone call and said with a cold face: "Be sure to make arrangements for tomorrow."
The next day, a group of three people arrived at the island. The weather was good, the sun was shining, and the island breeze was blowing, making it feel like a vacation.
After Su Mang's persuasion, Shen Zhinian put on a conservative beach skirt and leaned with her under the umbrella. She said that she was accompanying Lu Yan, and it looked more like she was going out with Su Mang's best friend.
As soon as he arrived at the island, Lu Yan was caught up in business and his attention almost never left the computer.
This is what Shen Zhinian wants.
"Nian Nian, I said you should take more photos, it's so beautiful." Su Mang fiddled with his cell phone, making a constant clicking sound. After taking the photos, he took it to Shen Zhinian to choose from: "What do you think of this one? But the passerby behind you seems to be in pretty good shape."
Shen Zhinian glanced at it and smiled lightly: "You can tell that someone has a good figure when he wears a suit?"
"Look at these double doors, look at these long legs, look at these...wait, they look familiar." Su Mang stopped in surprise mid-sentence.
Shen Zhinian was puzzled by her attitude, and then looked at the photo seriously, with a smile on his face, and immediately stood up and took Su Mang to change clothes.
Damn it, why did Lu Jingchuan appear here? Didn't she arrange his meeting at a hotel in the city center?
Su Mang understood her reaction immediately and followed her quietly into the hotel without saying anything.
Just after turning around a bush, a pair of shiny leather shoes suddenly appeared in front of me.
She looked up her legs and met Lu Jingchuan's serious eyes.
Shen Zhinian's heart was pounding and he greeted carefully: "Mr. Lu."
Lu Jingchuan looked at her clothes up and down, then glanced at Su Mang, and responded with a smile: "Secretary Shen, what a coincidence."
Something bad is happening.
Su Mang hurriedly interjected: "What a coincidence, Mr. Lu is also here to relax? Niannian and I won't disturb you."
Lu Jingchuan didn't even look at Su Mang. His eyes fell on Shen Zhinian and asked in a deep voice, "Did I grant your leave?"
The business partners behind him who were discussing cooperation had already looked over curiously, as if they were watching some kind of drama about catching an adulterer.
Such scrutiny made Shen Zhinian feel uncomfortable.
She looked away and tried to be as confident as possible: "Mr. Lu, I went through all the procedures yesterday."
"Really? I have no impression of approval."
As he pressed closer and closer, the atmosphere gradually became tense.
Su Mang secretly prepared to take Shen Zhinian away at any time.
"Jingchuan, what are you doing? I finally found a gap between the two ladies, why are you embarrassing my guest?"
Lu Yan was like a god descending at this moment, breaking the weird atmosphere, walking over slowly and standing next to Shen Zhinian.
The other business partners obviously recognized Lu Yanlai, and they smiled awkwardly and found reasons to stay away from the Shura Field.
The remaining four people were crowded on the narrow stone path, refusing to give in to each other.
Shen Zhinian swallowed nervously and found an excuse to leave: "It seems that you two have something to talk about. Su Mang and I are leaving first."
"Shen Zhinian, you stay." Lu Jingchuan directly called her name.
"Ms. Shen, you and Reporter Su go to the hotel to rest first." Lu Yan followed suit.
One wants to stay and the other lets go.
Su Mang pushed Shen Zhinian's hand, hinting her to make a decision quickly.
Shen Zhinian looked back and forth between the two of them and took a deep breath: "Su Mang and I are going to change clothes first."
She took Su Mang's hand and walked around Lu Yan, passing Lu Jingchuan without daring to look into his eyes.
Lu Jingchuan let Shen Zhinian pass by with an expressionless face, then raised his eyes to confront Lu Yan: "Lu Yan, is this the purpose of your return?"
