He is not a tool, he is a noble person

As soon as Lu Jin arrived at the office, he saw Zhou Ran waiting at the office door.

"Mr. Lu...Mr. Lu, you're here." Zhou Ran stood up with a smile and walked quickly forward to greet him.

"Mr. Zhou wants to talk to me about something?" Lu Jin was a little surprised by Zhou Ran's reaction today.

Zhou Ran, who wanted to kill her yesterday, now has a smiling face.

"I came here today to talk to Mr. Lu about work."

Zhou Ran bent down slightly, with a very low posture, and reached out to open the office door. After Lu Jin entered, he went in and closed the door.

Lu Jin sat down in his office chair, his eyes fixed on Zhou Ran, who was standing across from him. His smile didn't reach his eyes. "Oh, Mr. Zhou, please continue."

Zhou Ran had been observing Lu Jin's reaction, but he didn't expect that Lu Jin was more patient than he imagined.

"Mr. Lu, I heard that the head office has handed over the Guanzhou project to our branch." The smile on Zhou Ran's face was overly flattering, as if the person who was unhappy with Lu Jin yesterday was not him.

The Guanzhou project is so good, and the profits it can generate are terrifyingly high. If this project falls into his hands, he can make a lot of money from it.

Zhou Ran is a profit-driven person. He has Lu Qingshan behind him, so for Lu Qingshan's sake, he can cause trouble for Lu Jin, but if Lu Jin can bring him greater benefits, he will also try his best to please Lu Jin in order to gain greater benefits.

"Mr. Zhou is really well-informed." Lu Jin looked at Zhou Ran with a smile, but the smile did not reach his eyes.

The smile on Zhou Ran's face froze for a moment, but he quickly returned to normal, smiling the same way, even more flattering than before.

"Always stay sensitive to news, so you can better serve the company." Zhou Ran said, straightening his back and continuing with confidence: "If Mr. Lu can give me this project, I believe I can complete it well."

Lu Jin leaned back lazily, looking at the confident Zhou Ran leisurely, his smile deepening. "Mr. Zhou has so much work to do. I remember he was so busy yesterday that he didn't even have time to go downstairs. If I add more work to your workload, people who don't know me will think I'm exploiting you."

"How could that be?" Zhou Ran said with a smile: "Everything is for the company. I am willing to do it."

Zhou Ran didn't expect Lu Jin to be so stingy that he still remembered what happened yesterday.

They even wanted to use this matter to stop him!

If he had known that the head office would allocate such a large project, he would definitely have restrained himself a little yesterday, at least waiting until the project was completed before turning against Lu Jin.

"In that case, I'll have to trouble you, Mr. Zhou, to take care of the work at hand." Lu Jin smiled slightly. "But I've decided to handle the Guanzhou project myself, so I won't bother you, Mr. Zhou!"

The smile on Zhou Ran's face disappeared instantly. He stared at Lu Jin and couldn't say a word for a long time.

"If you have nothing to do, please go out first!" Lu Jin directly ordered him to leave.

Zhou Ran took a deep breath, the smile on his face beginning to falter. He gritted his teeth, his fake smile laced with a blatant threat: "Mr. Lu, you've just arrived at the company and you've already taken on such a big project all by yourself. Aren't you afraid you'll mess it up?"

Lu Jin leaned forward slightly, supporting herself on the table with both hands. She looked at Zhou Ran with a threatening look and smiled, "Don't worry about that, Mr. Zhou."

Zhou Ran sneered: "Then I wish Mr. Lu a successful completion of the project."

Lu Jin smiled, then replied in a furious tone, "Thank you."

"Then I'll wait and see."

Zhou Ran left angrily.

The old lady had just finalized the Guanzhou project at midnight yesterday, and Zhou Ran found out about it this morning.

I guess it was Lu Qingshan who told me.

Lu Qingshan told Zhou Ran that he obviously wanted to take the project back. However, Lu Qingshan never thought that Zhou Ran was more greedy than he imagined.

With such a big piece of cake like Guanzhou right in front of him, how could Zhou Ran, a profit-seeking person, think of giving it away?

She rejected Zhou Ran now, and with Zhou Ran's character, he would never give up!

“Knock knock knock…”

There was a knock on the door, interrupting Lu Jin's thoughts.

She quickly gathered herself together and looked towards the door: "Come in."

The door opened, and Lu Jin looked at Song Shuyang who walked in with some confusion: "What's the matter?"

Song Shuyang placed the documents in front of Lu Jin and then spoke: "The HR department said you needed an assistant, so they arranged for me to come here. These are my documents, you can take a look."

Yesterday afternoon, she did contact the human resources department and asked them to arrange an assistant for her. Her original intention was to have the human resources department directly recruit a new assistant.

"I remember you were Mr. Zhou's assistant. Was it Mr. Zhou's idea that you become my assistant?" Lu Jin pointed it out directly.

She had a pretty good impression of Song Shuyang, but that didn't mean she was willing to keep someone who posed a threat to her around.

Song Shuyang had a frank expression, not hiding anything from Lu Jin: "Mr. Zhou knew you were looking for an assistant, and was worried that it would be too late for the job fair, so he asked me to come over."

Lu Jin pursed her red lips and said, "He's quite considerate of me."

Song Shuyang smiled slightly, stood silently, and did not respond.

"Since it's Mr. Zhou's kindness, it would seem unkind of me if I didn't accept it." Lu Jin's expression was calm, without any trace of anger. "Just find a workstation outside and work. I'll call you if there's anything."

A hint of surprise flashed across Song Shuyang's eyes. He had already prepared himself for Lu Jin to turn against him and drive him away, but he didn't expect Lu Jin to accept this arrangement so calmly.

Considering Lu Jin's decisive and unyielding actions yesterday, Zhou Ran's actions today were clearly provocative, yet Lu Jin did not fight back.

This made Song Shuyang somewhat unable to see through the eldest daughter of the Lu family.

"Thank you, Mr. Lu." Song Shuyang suppressed all his emotions calmly, turned around and left the office.

Lu Jin lowered his head, reached out and casually opened the information about Song Shuyang in front of him, quickly scanning through it.

Song Shuyang's resume surprised her a little.

Originally, she had no expectations for the entire Yucheng branch, as it had long been corroded by termites. She had never expected that in this collapsing building, there were still people with real talent and knowledge.

After closing Song Shuyang's resume, Lu Jin couldn't help laughing.

Zhou Ran really had good intentions in arranging such a person to be by her side!

The reason why she didn't refuse was because she knew that after rejecting Song Shuyang, Zhou Ran would arrange someone else to be with her.

The entire branch company is almost completely under Zhou Ran's control. She was able to do those things unscrupulously yesterday only because she was using the name of the Lu family and borrowing the power of Mrs. Lu, which prevented that group of people from acting rashly!

But if she really wanted to use the branch to do something, it would not be that easy.

There was another knock on the office door.

"Come in."

Song Shuyang held a stack of documents in his hand, and then placed the documents in front of Lu Jin. He noticed that his own information that he had just placed was still next to him. Song Shuyang withdrew his gaze without any expression.

"Mr. Lu, Luo Anli has been arrested. The position of purchasing manager is now vacant. Here is the information of several employees with outstanding performance in the purchasing department." Song Shuyang was very tactful in his actions. After putting down the information, he took the initiative to leave the office without saying much.

"Wait a moment."

Song Shuyang stopped and asked, "Mr. Lu, do you have anything else to tell me?"

"Sit down." Lu Jin raised his hand and pointed at the chair opposite the desk.

Although Song Shuyang was puzzled, he did not show it on his face. He calmly walked to the chair next to him and sat down.

The man sat upright with a calm gaze, neither humble nor arrogant. He had no worries or fears about the unknown, only calmness and composure.

Lu Jin looked at the man, and lightly placed his index finger on the stack of documents and tapped them lightly: "Have you seen this information?"

Song Shuyang shook his head and said frankly, "No, this was sent over by someone from the purchasing department. I just got it and sent it to you."

Lu Jin reached out and picked up the document on the table, then placed it in front of Song Shuyang and said with a smile: "You haven't seen it yet, then open it and take a look."

The harmless smile on the girl's face made her look unusually well-behaved, but Song Shuyang, who had seen Lu Jin's methods, was not fooled by this innocent and pretty face.

After all, those who had previously ignored her, one was so frustrated that he got angry every day, one was demoted and investigated, and one was already in jail.

The girl in front of him was not as innocent as she looked.

Song Shuyang opened the document and read it carefully. Just as he closed it, he heard Lu Jin's casual question: "Who among these people do you think is qualified for the position of Purchasing Manager?"

This question actually caught Song Shuyang's attention.

For a moment, he didn't quite understand what Lu Jin meant by asking this question?

Song Shuyang lowered his eyes slightly and gave an official, unmistakable answer: "These people are all excellent, but I believe Mr. Lu has already made his decision on who is qualified for the position of Purchasing Manager."

"Hahaha..." Lu Jin seemed amused by this answer. She placed her hands on the desk, leaning forward slightly, staring straight at Song Shuyang, her smile not reaching her eyes. "It seems that President Zhou is very satisfied with these people."

Song Shuyang was slightly stunned and understood Lu Jin's test just now.

He was sent by Zhou Ran, so Lu Jin would never trust him.

A hint of self-mockery flashed across Song Shuyang's eyes, but he did not make any excuses. He respectfully placed the information in his hand back in front of Lu Jin.

"However, Assistant Song is right. I do have a candidate in mind." Lu Jin changed the subject, seemingly not noticing Song Shuyang's reaction at all. She said calmly, "Assistant Song, please contact Si Lan and ask him to come back to me."

Song Shuyang looked up and looked at Lu Jin in surprise: "Boss Lu wants Si Lan to be the purchasing manager again?"

"Is there a problem?" Lu Jin raised his eyebrows.

Song Shuyang was stunned for a moment, then quickly shook his head: "No."

"Then get busy." Lu Jin lowered his head and stopped looking at people. His eyes fell on the stack of documents and he gently flipped them open with his fingers.

Since Zhou Ran took the initiative to send people in front of us, let’s start by eliminating everyone here one by one!

Song Shuyang stood up and left. When he raised his hand to hold the door handle, he paused, turned his head and looked at Lu Jin, with a bit of sincerity in his tone: "Mr. Lu, Shenghua Group has absolute say in Guanzhou's project. The president of Shenghua Group is the sixth young master of the Qin family."

Lu Jin raised his head, his eyes narrowed slightly as he looked at Song Shuyang, a deep smile on his face: "Assistant Song, are you helping me?"

Song Shuyang lowered his eyes and said seriously, "I just believe that President Lu has the ability to lead the entire branch to a higher level. I am also thinking about my own future. It can't be said that I am helping him."

Seeing that Lu Jin didn't say anything more, Song Shuyang opened the door and left the office.

The office door closed and Lu Jin withdrew his gaze.

She didn't care about Song Shuyang's reaction just now. No one could stop her from doing what she wanted to do!

But she was somewhat interested in what he just said.

Shenghua Group, the sixth young master of the Qin family?

Hmmm…Sunday’s family dinner…

The corners of Lu Jin's lips curled up slightly, so Qin Siyan was not just a tool, he was simply her benefactor!
