Shen Zhinian's hands and feet were cold and he was speechless. He stood blankly at the door and looked at them. The two people in the conference room had already returned to their work.
She seemed like an outsider.
Absently returning to the president's office, she saw a new desk opposite her workstation, and the bag hanging on the seat looked very familiar.
Shen Zhinian lowered his head to tidy up the table, and suddenly remembered that this was the bag that Lu Jingchuan gave her for her birthday last year. She still treasures it in the gift box without touching it.
It turns out that the relationship between Lu Jingchuan and Gao Qian has reached this point. What's the next step? Replace her?
Shen Zhinian was dealing with the matter at hand uneasily, and his peripheral vision seemed to have a sense of autonomy. He drifted to the opposite work station every now and then, and suddenly caught a glimpse of a newly opened new watch on her desk. It was a gift from Lu's cooperative brand. Every year, these are It was sent directly to Shen Zhinian's name.
The metallic luster of the watch was so dazzling that it made her breathless.
The huge president's office has never been so cramped.
Shen Zhinian stood up and planned to go out to change his mood, but his cell phone suddenly rang.
The three words "Mr. Xiao Lu" jumped on the screen.
Her heart suddenly tightened and she hesitated to answer.
"Mr. Lu, which restaurant should we book tonight?" Gao Qian asked with a smile from far away.
Shen Zhinian raised his eyes and saw that the two of them were walking this way talking and laughing one after another. Lu Jingchuan's expression seemed to be much gentler.
An unknown fire rose. Shen Zhinian walked out with his cell phone in front of the two of them and picked up: "Hey, tell me."
Lu Yan was stunned for a moment, then teased with a faint smile: "Miss Shen, are you too unfamiliar?"
Shen Zhinian stopped at the end of the corridor, sighed softly, and relaxed his mood: "Mr. Xiao Lu, what's the matter with calling?"
Hearing her avoidance, Lu Yan looked serious and guessed the reason almost instantly: "Did Jingchuan come to trouble you later?"
It's just difficult.
Shen Zhinian had no intention of getting entangled in what had happened and returned to the topic: "Is Xiao Lu always doing it to cooperate with the Qinyue Group? Mr. Lu is currently leaving it to Secretary Gao to follow up on the cooperation there. There should be someone to take care of you. ."
Hearing the words "Secretary Gao", the other end of the phone was silent for a moment, understanding: "Jingchuan has even handed over the work now?"
Not wanting to hear him reveal his pain points again and again, Shen Zhinian's tone became more serious: "Are you calling just to confirm my current situation?"
"Yes, because I know Jingchuan and I'm afraid that he will embarrass you. I feel very sorry. Can I treat you to dinner sometime?" Lu Yan apologized sincerely. He only cared about Shen Zhinian, which made Shen Zhinian feel embarrassed.
But with lessons learned at hand, Shen Zhinian did not hesitate and refused decisively: "No, Mr. Lu doesn't like me meeting you in private. I'm sorry."
Lu Yan's eyes were dark, his index finger clasped the rim of the cup, and he responded meaningfully: "I understand, then I won't disturb Miss Shen."
His tone was full of consideration and care for Shen Zhinian. After hanging up the phone, Shen Zhinian felt a little guilty and decided to pick a gift for Su Mang to bring to him as a thank you.
Back in the president's office, Gao Qian had already sat back at her workstation, put away the watch on the table, and was working as if nothing had happened.
Shen Zhinian sat down calmly and glanced quickly at Lu Jingchuan, who lowered his eyes and signed, the tip of his pen rubbing the paper, making a rustling sound.
Half an hour later, she checked the time and saw that it was time for the online meeting in the evening. She stood up and reminded: "Mr. Lu, there will be an online meeting in forty minutes. Here are the relevant information."
The information in her hand was suddenly taken away from her. Gao Qian walked to Lu Jingchuan familiarly, handed it to him and reported in a soft voice.
Shen Zhinian watched him pass with his hands hanging, and was unhappy to stop him: "Secretary Gao, understand your responsibilities and don't do anything at will."
"Secretary Shen, I am on the same level as you now." Gao Qian retorted proudly.
"You are on the same level as me when we sit face to face? Then do you think you are on the same level as Mr. Lu when you are in the same office with him?" Shen Zhinian is not a soft persimmon, and Gao Qian is not Lu Jingchuan.
Gao Qian choked and quickly explained: "Mr. Lu, I didn't mean that. She was maliciously speculating on me."
She was going to say something else, but Lu Jingchuan interrupted coldly: "This is not your place to make noise."
Shen Zhinian lowered his eyes and kept his expression unchanged. After confirming that this was the last trip, he took the initiative to ask Lu Jingchuan for instructions: "Secretary Gao took over the meeting. Is there anything else you need me to do?"
"You stay here." Lu Jingchuan cherished his words like gold.
With nothing to do and unable to leave early, Shen Zhinian began to confirm the itinerary for the next few days and the weather. While Lu Jingchuan was preparing, he reminded: "The weather will start to change tonight. Secretary Gao remember to prepare an umbrella at all times."
Lu Jingchuan and Gao Qian looked up at the same time. The former narrowed his eyes and asked displeasedly: "What do you mean by that?"
"I just handed over all the meetings that I attended personally to Secretary Gao, so that she can have time to arrange, so as not to conflict with other tasks." Shen Zhinian's tone was flat and his expression was indifferent.
Gao Qian was secretly happy and wanted to respond.
"Snapped--"
Lu Jingchuan closed the computer directly and said in a low and terrifying voice: "Gao Qian, please go back first."
The sudden change caught Gao Qian off guard. She hesitantly tried to recover: "Mr. Lu, the meeting is about to start. Now is not the time to argue with Secretary Shen."
Lu Jingchuan glanced over with cold eyes, Gao Qian immediately shut up, and left with a backpack reluctantly with a straight face.
After she left, Lu Jingchuan locked the door of the office, grabbed Shen Zhinian's wrist with his backhand, threw her directly onto the sofa with brute force, and gave a stiff order: "Don't make decisions for me at will."
Shen Zhinian's nose felt sore, he looked away, and replied dully: "I know."
Lu Jingchuan was quite conscientious and only tormented her for less than an hour. Then he dressed up and turned on the computer for an online meeting as if nothing had happened.
At ten o'clock in the evening, the meeting ended.
When Shen Zhinian and Lu Jingchuan walked out of the Lu family's gate together, it started to rain, and both of them were empty-handed.
She immediately called the driver and asked him to bring an umbrella to pick up Lu Jingchuan.
"Mr. Lu, the driver will be here soon. I'll leave first. It won't be easy to take a taxi later." After arranging the driver, Shen Zhinian raised his eyebrows and asked Lu Jingchuan for instructions.
The man's face was gloomy, and there was no hint of happiness or anger in his tone: "Are you going to take a taxi back by yourself?"
Shen Zhinian didn't notice the difference and laughed at himself: "Mr. Lu probably doesn't want to see me now. I won't be an eyesore here."
After being with Lu Jingchuan for so many years, she had already realized that she was not loved.
The driver stopped at the door and came over with an umbrella.
Lu Jingchuan took the umbrella and motioned for Shen Zhinian to follow him to the car.
He stopped: "Shen Zhinian, I originally planned to take you back."
Shen Zhinian's eyes were slightly bright, and she looked at him nervously and in surprise, with a hint of expectation and surprise in her eyes.
But Lu Jingchuan just handed the umbrella back to the driver, with a sudden look of indifference in his eyes: "Since you don't want to be an eyesore, then let's go."
