"Yes, he is indeed not very old," Zhou Nan said softly. "But don't let his youth fool you, he's got a very tough hand. In the early stages of the company, our old boss Lu had nothing but money. Back then, besides the Huo family's help, it was this General Manager Qin who helped him expand his network and gradually develop Qingshan Entertainment into a large company. With the entertainment company as a foundation, the other branches quickly took off."

"So President Qin is also a meritorious figure," Pei Nian smiled. "Just because of this, the chairman turns a blind eye to his having an affair?"

Zhou Nan laughed and gently nudged her. "Alright, stop talking nonsense!"

“I know,” Pei Nian said in a low voice, “This is what we talk about in private. I won’t say anything in front of outsiders.”

Zhou Nan's eyes deepened, and he said with a meaningful smile, "What I mean is, the relationship between President Qin and Jacqueline is actually not clear!"

"ah?"

Pei Nian was startled.

She had actually thought about this question before. Dong Jielin was the least like a mistress she had ever met.

Which pampered princess, hidden away in luxury, has ended up in such a miserable state as her, forced to work hard outside?

It seems that from beginning to end, we can only hear her side of the story, as if it were just her wishful thinking.

Pei Nian smiled faintly. Perhaps this President Qin is some outstanding young talent that beautiful women would be willing to pay him off!

*

Dong Jielin secretly arranged to meet Lu Ran a few times.

However, during this time, Lu Ran was restless because of Huo Junyang's indifference. Even when Dong Jielin sat across from her and talked endlessly about Pei Nian, she was still absent-minded.

Dong Jielin was very good at reading people's expressions, and when she saw that her face was not good, she immediately stopped talking.

Lu Ran asked, "Why did you stop talking?"

"Oh..." Dong Jielin rolled her eyes and smiled, "Miss Lu, shall I order you another coffee? We have a decaffeinated coffee here that tastes just as good as other coffees, but won't affect your sleep!"

“Caffeine-free…” Lu Ran murmured, repeating these words.

What kind of coffee is it if it doesn't contain caffeine?

People love drinking coffee because of its stimulating and refreshing effects, right?

Lu Ran smiled inexplicably. This kind of thinking is just like people. If you don't have the noble genes that you are born with, you are destined to be a lowly ant for life.

So now even Huo Junyang looks down on her and wants to shut her out?

Lu Ran bit her lip hard, her fingers gripping the coffee cup so tightly they almost crushed it.

Seeing her like this, Dong Jielin didn't dare to say anything more, but subconsciously lifted the tablecloth up a bit... If Lu Ran suddenly dropped a cup or something, having a tablecloth to cover her might be useful.

"Miss Lu... Miss Lu," Dong Jielin said, her heart pounding with fear, "What's wrong?"

"I'm fine." Lu Ran tried her best to calm herself down. She looked at her for a while and asked in a low voice, "How have things been between you and President Qin lately?"

"I……"

"How did you manage to tie him up?"

Dong Jielin panicked.

She had no choice; she only had one secret: shamelessness makes one invincible!

“Miss Lu…” Dong Jielin gave a forced smile, about to brush it off, when she suddenly noticed a woman walking briskly towards her not far away…

Dong Jielin's face changed drastically, her mind went blank, and she turned to run away.

However, this café was located inside the Lu Group building and had an open design, surrounded only by plants. Feeling guilty, she got up a little too quickly, knocking over a flowerpot, which drew the woman's attention.

"Stop right there!"

The woman let out a fierce roar, and Dong Jielin was so frightened that she ran away in a panic, rushing forward without thinking.

But the woman had amazing stamina. Even in high heels of seven or eight centimeters, she walked briskly and caught up with Dong Jielin in a few moments, grabbing her wrist suddenly!

Dong Jielin's employee badge was clearly visible!

"Oh, so you're Jacqueline!" The woman's voice was loud and assertive. "No wonder you were like a mouse seeing a cat when you saw me!"

"No, it's not..."

"You shameless slut! How dare you seduce my husband! You'll die a horrible death!"

The hall instantly descended into chaos, with Dong Jielin's screams and the woman's curses rising and falling.

It was during working hours, but even the security guards didn't dare to stop them. A crowd of onlookers had gathered downstairs, each with an expression of anticipation for a good show.

Lu Ran frowned, unwilling to get involved in this mess, and quietly left from the side.

"Let me go... Ah!"

The woman's fighting spirit was off the charts, and Dong Jielin was dealt with severely. Her colleagues, who were usually all smiles and friendly, were now not only strangers, but also constantly taking pictures with their phones, as if afraid of missing this annual drama of the wife beating the mistress.

"You just stood by and watched me die! Come and help me... Ah! Madam, Madam, I was wrong... I'll never do it again!"

"Ha, you wouldn't dare?" the woman gritted her teeth. "I see you've got some nerve! Let me tell you, I, Shao Xiaofei, am not someone to be trifled with. Anyone who dares to steal my man, I'll send them to meet the King of Hell!"

With that, she shoved him away violently, and Dong Jielin stumbled and crashed into a pillar in the hall, before falling to the ground in a very unseemly manner.

She was wearing a very short skirt, which caused some people with ill intentions to burst into laughter.

At this moment, Pei Nian came downstairs.

She had just delivered the chicken soup to Jiang Mianmian's office when she heard the secretary say that there was trouble in the lobby downstairs. She glanced at the security camera footage, not wanting to get involved, but worried that it would upset Jiang Mianmian.

After all, it's the Lu Group building; letting outsiders see it would have a very bad impact on the Lu Group's image.

So Pei Nian volunteered to handle the matter.

She wasn't afraid of Dong Jielin, much less Shao Xiaofei. She intended to quickly separate the two and then have the security guards take Shao Xiaofei out.

However, as soon as they approached, they witnessed a fierce battle between the two.

Enraged, Dong Jielin screamed and rushed over to grab Shao Xiaofei's hair.

Shao Xiaofei was somewhat surprised and also grabbed Dong Jielin's clothes tightly.

The two pushed and shoved each other, but it was clear that Shao Xiaofei was gradually losing her strength. Dong Jielin became even more arrogant, uttering filthy words while hitting him:

"Flies don't land on eggs without cracks! Your husband can be seduced by me, but he can be seduced by someone else!"

"What do you want from me? You just want to bully me, don't you? Try dating another woman and see what happens!"

"Let me tell you, your husband slept with me last night! My legs went weak! You haven't, have you? Hahaha..."

Shao Xiaofei's face flushed red. Even the most assertive woman couldn't bear such blatant humiliation.

Suddenly, a figure flashed by!

Immediately following were two crisp "slap" sounds, and Dong Jielin covered her face and screamed in fright.

The onlookers were also stunned.

Pei Nian stood between the two, coldly surveying the surroundings before finally fixing her gaze on Dong Jielin's face.

"It's working hours now, what are you yelling about here for?"
