"Song Shiyi!"

Lu Zheng remained silent with a sullen face. Seeing this, Qiao Yun quickly stepped forward and slapped Song Shiyi.

"This is during working hours. It's one thing for you to neglect your duties, but to do these things is truly damaging to our company's image!"

Song Shiyi was stunned by the slap and for a moment forgot to refute it, only staring at Qiao Yun with wide eyes.

Qiao Yun, not to be outdone, glared back fiercely: "What are you glaring at me for? You did something wrong and you still have the nerve to glare at me!"

She was absolutely furious. She thought she could stand on the same side as Song Shiyi to deal with Qiao Zhen, but she didn't expect that woman to be so useless, causing this mess in such a short time.

She grew angrier the more she thought about it, and before she knew it, she slapped Song Shiyi again.

Qiao Zhen had watched the show to her heart's content, and when she turned around, she saw Lu Zheng talking to the other company.

The person in charge of the other company nodded with an understanding look, then said goodbye to Lu Zheng and left.

After dealing with these matters, Lu Zheng gave Qiao Zhen a gloomy look before stepping forward to the man.

The man didn't know why Song Shiyi had stopped moving when he saw a woman dressed provocatively standing in front of him.

He immediately became lustful, quickly released Song Shiyi, and smiled at Qiao Yun, saying, "Little sister, you're quite pretty."

Qiao Yun prided herself on being a highly educated returnee from overseas and usually looked down on nouveau riche. Upon seeing this, she spat out a harsh "Pah!"

Looking at the man in front of me, with his big gold chain and gold watch, he had the air of a complete nouveau riche.

Lu Zheng walked up to the man and said coldly, "Mr. Wang, we meet again, don't we?"

Upon hearing this, the man called Boss Wang looked up and stared blankly at him.

Perhaps it was because Lu Zheng's aura was too strong, but the man actually restrained himself a bit.

"You are..." The man swayed a couple of times, barely managing to steady himself, and pointed at Lu Zheng, asking in confusion.

"Look carefully, who am I?"

Instead of getting angry, Lu Zheng laughed and grabbed his arm, pulling him towards himself.

The man immediately recognized Lu Zheng's face.

His face turned pale instantly, and he stammered, "President Lu...it was actually you!"

Perhaps due to excessive fear, he suddenly sobered up and stammered, "President Lu, please forgive my rudeness. Everything I said just now was because I was blind and didn't recognize your greatness. Please don't take it to heart and don't hold it against a petty person like me!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Zhenglu finally looked away from the man and instead glanced at Song Shiyi beside him.

"If I remember correctly, it should be working hours now."

Lu Zheng's tone was indifferent, but his words terrified Song Shiyi: "President Lu... I, I didn't mean to..."

After saying that, Song Shiyi shrank back, even he knew that his words lacked confidence.

At the same time, she couldn't help but feel scared. How could it be such a coincidence that they met at this moment?

Just then, she saw Qiao Zhen beside her, and her face paled even more.

Because Qiao Zhen was looking at Song Shiyi with a smile on his face.

For some reason, Song Shiyi found that smile extremely terrifying.

"you……"

Unable to hold back, Song Shiyi looked at Qiao Zhen, her voice trembling slightly.

"What's wrong with me, Miss Song?" Qiao Zhen asked, puzzled.

This statement also attracted the attention of others. Qiao Yun looked at Qiao Zhen and suddenly thought of something.

“Miss Qiao, if I remember correctly, you chose the location of this restaurant, right? You really know how to pick a place, it just so happens that this happened.”

Qiao Yun chuckled and changed the subject, but couldn't help glancing at Lu Zheng.

Qiao Zhen laughed. Wasn't Qiao Yun implying that this was a setup by Qiao Zhen?

Therefore, it is true that Qiao Zhen's actions played a role in all of this.

Ultimately, it was Song Shiyi who insisted on causing these problems during working hours; it had nothing to do with her.

"This hotel has very few private rooms, and the privacy is very good. I chose this hotel to discuss cooperation because I think it will be safer."

After she finished speaking, Qiao Zhen looked at Lu Zheng, her tone full of sincerity.

Qiao Yun shut up after being rebuked by his words, but Song Shiyi couldn't hold back anymore.

"You're doing this on purpose, stop pretending!"

Seeing Song Shiyi's outburst, Qiao Zhen retorted without hesitation: "Miss Song, you neglected your duties during work hours. Ultimately, the fault lies with you. Why should I pretend? Did I force you to stay at this hotel with this man?"

Upon hearing this, Song Shiyi's face paled, and she was speechless, unable to retort to Qiao Zhen.

Lu Zheng's expression was very unpleasant. After glancing at everyone present, he said indifferently, "Go back to the company."

In the car, Qiao Zhen couldn't help but laugh when she saw Song Shiyi next to her, looking so nervous she was practically tearing her hair out.

Now you're feeling nervous? When you did this, why didn't you think it would turn out like this?

but……

Qiao Zhen was a little confused. Logically speaking, leaving the company outside the designated time should be subject to approval. It would be difficult for Song Shiyi to cover it up and not attract attention on her own. Could it be that...?

Qiao Zhen couldn't help but look at Qiao Yun beside her, only to see that she was also extremely nervous.

Upon realizing this, Qiao Zhen understood.

Back at the company, Lu Zheng solemnly called everyone into his office.

Qiao Zhen looked at everyone who seemed preoccupied and suppressed the urge to laugh.

It wasn't that she didn't want to be serious, but the scene was just like when she was a child and hadn't done her homework, so she was called to the office to be criticized.

Perhaps noticing Qiao Zhen's happiness, Lu Zheng immediately asked Qiao Zhen to speak.
