After lunch, Qiao Zhen returned to the company and asked the receptionist in a low voice, "Is Miss Chen here?"

The receptionist shook her head. "You were gone for twenty minutes. Miss Shen received a phone call and left in a hurry, without even offering to treat you to afternoon tea as promised."

It seems Shen Yan, having learned of the plot's failure, has lost interest in treating everyone to afternoon tea. Qiao Zhen returned to her desk, staring at the dark computer screen, and pondered the matter once more.

Shen Yan could easily pretend she didn't know about Mr. Zhang's quirks, or even turn the tables on him by saying he was framing her.

It's absolutely impossible for her to swallow this anger silently.

"Why are you looking so gloomy? You went to Donghu Villa with President Lu to discuss business, enjoyed the beautiful scenery, and got your commission. Now think about when you're going to treat us to dinner!"

Don't even mention it!

The conversation between two colleagues drifted into Qiao Zhen's ears, and her hand, which was about to press the power button on the computer, paused.

"President Lu suddenly had to leave. How could I handle the other party on my own? They tried to negotiate a lower price with me, and I couldn't make that decision. That's why I came back to consult with President Lu."

"President Lu hasn't returned yet. What's going on that he can't even take care of a big business deal?"

"Who knows? With the Lu family's financial resources, they have the confidence to look down on the Donghu Villa project, but it's tough on us lowly employees."

As he was speaking, his phone rang. Seeing the words "President Lu" on the screen, he quickly answered, "...Yes, President Lu, can we sign the contract this afternoon? Thank you, President Lu, I'll get on it right away!"

As her colleagues walked away happily, Qiao Zhen sat blankly in her chair, unable to calm her emotions.

Donghu Villa and the Zhang Foundation are located in the east and west of Jiangcheng, respectively. It is no coincidence that Lu Zheng appeared at the foundation.
