After being targeted so many times, Qiao Zhen has learned her lesson. Since she has resources, why not make good use of them?

"Mr. Lu." Qiao Zhen knocked on the door and went in, only to find that Lu Zheng seemed somewhat surprised.

"I don't think I called you in."

Hearing this, Qiao Zhen met Lu Zheng's gaze and nodded: "Yes, I have something I'd like you to help me with."

Lu Zheng became interested: "Miss Qiao actually needs my help?"

Upon hearing this, Qiao Zhen replied, "A new woman joined the company, named Qiao Yun?"

Lu Zheng nodded: "Yeah, someone with connections, they were pushed in."

"That's going to be difficult..." Qiao Zhen looked troubled, but in reality, she had been observing Lu Zheng's reaction.

"What?" Lu Zheng frowned.

Upon seeing this, Qiao Zhen quickly recounted what had just happened.

Lu Zheng's face grew increasingly gloomy, and he finally said, "I understand. You'll be sitting next to me during the meeting later."

...

"What the hell? A meeting first thing in the morning? Isn't that annoying?"

A group of employees couldn't help but complain when they saw the meeting notification in the work group chat.

Qiao Yun watched all this indifferently, still tidying her exquisite hairstyle.

Then, everyone went to the conference room for a meeting, and Qiao Yun was no exception.

Pushing open the door and walking in, Qiao Yun saw Lu Zheng sitting at the front, her expression unchanged.

But the next second, when she saw Qiao Zhen next to her, her expression froze and she even stopped in her tracks.

Qiao Zhen simply smiled slightly as she looked at her.

But Qiao Yun found that smile very creepy.

Seeing Qiao Yun's appearance, an employee tugged at her skirt and asked, "Manager Qiao, what's wrong? You look so pale."

She thought Qiao Yun looked upset because she was jealous that Qiao Zhen and Lu Zheng were sitting so close together.

Unexpectedly, Qiao Yun's face darkened even more after hearing this. Recalling her conflict with Qiao Zhen earlier, she felt extremely regretful.

Why didn't anyone tell her that Qiao Zhen and Lu Zheng had a close relationship?

I thought that someone like her, who got in through connections, was already considered a "connected person."

But I never expected that this woman in front of me would have such a good relationship with Lu Zheng?

Thinking about her previous attitude towards Qiao Zhen, Qiao Yun's palms became sweaty.

Although her family had connections, she would never dare to offend someone of Lu Zheng's stature.

Seeing Qiao Yun's dark expression, Qiao Zhen couldn't help but smile.

"I've called you all here today for no other reason than to show you the surveillance footage."

After Lu Zheng finished speaking, a video surveillance recording appeared on the screen.

This is the scene from the conflict between Qiao Zhen and Qiao Yun.

Qiao Yun was so frightened by what she saw that she didn't dare to say a word, while Qiao Zhen calmly watched the video.

After watching the video, the employees all had a clear understanding of the new female director.

Qiao Yun was also quick-witted. Knowing that Qiao Zhen was not someone to be trifled with, she took the initiative to apologize.

"This was my fault. I shouldn't have been so disrespectful to Miss Qiao. I hope everyone will take this as a warning."

Hearing this, Qiao Zhen was somewhat surprised. She hadn't expected Qiao Yun to be so flexible and actually apologize to him.

Since things had come to this point, Qiao Zhen couldn't very well not forgive him, so she could only smile and say, "It's nothing, just a minor disagreement. As long as you know you were wrong, that's enough. I'm really sorry for taking up everyone's precious time."

After this incident, everyone fully understood Qiao Zhen's position by Lu Zheng's side, and their attitude towards Qiao Zhen became more respectful.

Qiao Zhen pretended not to see anything and continued working as usual.

Qiao Yun didn't dare to cause her any more trouble.

That day after work, Qiao Zhen discovered that Shen Yan had sent her a message.

"Want to meet at six tonight?" The message also included an address.

Qiao Zhen raised an eyebrow. After the banquet ended, Shen Yan did not contact Qiao Zhen immediately, and Qiao Zhen thought that the matter had been put aside.

Unexpectedly, Shen Yan took the initiative to find her.

Inside the private room, Shen Yan recalled the text message Gu Xijue had shown her, her expression slightly distorted.

The night before —

"Smack!"

The air currents brushed past Chen Yan's face, and a sharp pain and dizziness struck.

She was in a daze and lost her balance, falling onto the sofa next to her.

But before she could catch her breath, a pair of strong hands gripped Shen Yan's neck, causing her immense pain and making her feel like she was suffocating.

Red, swollen marks appeared on her fair neck.

"you……"

She was in a daze, and the weakness that made it hard to breathe left her mouth half-open, unable to utter a single word for a long time.

"Xia'er was so good to you, and this is how you treat her?"

Lu Hang's large hand gripped Shen Yan's neck tightly, and the intense pain made Shen Yan gasp for breath.

Shen Yan's resisting hand suddenly fell limply to her sides. Her mocking sneer and solemn expression startled Lu Hang, who was opposite her.

"I don't care if you have mistresses or other women, but you actually dare to think I'd be friends with them? Don't even think about it!"

"snort."

Lu Hang seemed to think he had done nothing wrong. After snorting, he slapped Shen Yan across the face again.

Shen Yan barely managed to dodge, but she now had a little more confidence and stared at Lu Hang as she spoke.

"If you're so capable, then divorce me!"

Hearing this, Lu Hang laughed sarcastically, "You're dreaming. I will never give you freedom. I'm determined to keep you trapped for the rest of your life!"

Upon hearing this, Shen Yan finally broke down, glaring angrily at Lu Hang.

Chen Yan suddenly swept the teacups off the coffee table, the clattering sound triggering Lu Hang's anger.
