"Thank you so much for this." On the way back, Qiao Zhen thanked Lu Zheng again.

Hearing Qiao Zhen's words, Lu Zheng glanced at her but remained silent.

Even though he didn't say anything, Qiao Zhen inexplicably understood what he meant.

She pursed her lips and turned to look out the car window.

For the next few days, Qiao Zhen was either at the company or on her way to meet with clients.

I'm busy until 11 or 12 every night before I get home, and I'm in a state of semi-consciousness, between being drunk and sober.

"No, why are you working so hard?" Seeing Qiao Zhen come to work with a hangover again, Song Siyi couldn't understand Qiao Zhen.

She's already hooked up with President Lu, so why is she still working so hard?

Judging from her behavior, it's as if the company belongs to her.

Qiao Zhen looked up at her and said, "Could you please bring me a bottle of something to help me sober up?"

As she spoke, she raised her hand, gesturing for Song Siyi to take it.

Seeing her like this, Song Siyi had no choice but to get her a drink.

She had no idea what Qiao Zhen was thinking; all she could think about was closing these projects.

In this way, she had the opportunity to get in touch with Lu's core projects.

And then there was the company Lu Zheng had promised her. Thinking of this, she unscrewed the bottle of hangover remedy and finished it in one go before continuing to work.

Seeing how hard she was working, and remembering Lu Zheng's warning, Qiao Yun didn't try to trip her up.

He would only occasionally make sarcastic remarks when he met her, but Qiao Zhen never paid any attention to them.

No matter what she said, Qiao Zhen ignored it.

"I really don't know what's so good about Qiao Zhen. What does President Lu see in her? If I were shopping with a woman and something like this happened, I would be so embarrassed!"

"That's right, if it were me, I would have kicked that woman out long ago."

"It must have been her who dragged President Lu to those places, otherwise why would President Lu go?"

Qiao Zhen listened to what the people outside were saying in the restroom and found it somewhat amusing.

Why did they assume that she dragged Lu Zheng there? Why couldn't it have been Lu Zheng who dragged her there?

"Exactly! Oh my, we really know what tricks Qiao Zhen used to bewitch President Lu."

"What, you don't actually want her to publish a book, do you?"

Qiao Zhen saw that their talk was getting more and more outrageous and their focus was becoming more and more novel, so she lost her gossip mood.

She pushed open the door and went out.

The colleague who was at the sink was stunned when she saw Qiao Zhen come out of the stall.

Everyone lowered their heads, not daring to look at her.

Whether out of embarrassment or fear, they all stared at Qiao Zhen, and none of them left.

"That's all well and good, but there are a few things I need to correct. It was your CEO Lu who asked us to go to the street, not me who dragged him there. Also, the book will never be published, so give up on that idea."

Qiao Zhen stood in front of the mirror, slowly washing her hands. After she finished, she looked at them and said softly.

Hearing her words, her colleagues didn't dare to breathe.

After Qiao Zhen left, they looked at each other, touched their chests, and said, "Wow, they actually got caught talking about someone behind their back!"

It was incredibly embarrassing.

"Let's go, let's hurry." They pushed each other and quickly left the restroom.

Qiao Zhen returned to her workstation and found it amusing to think about what those people had said.

Do they think all women have to be subservient to rich men?

The thought only flashed through her mind for a moment before Qiao Zhen quickly dismissed it.

It wasn't until a week later that Qiao Zhen saw Lu Zheng step into the company building.

Qiao Zhen saw Lu Zheng, his assistant, and a large group of people from afar, and she spotted Lu Zheng in the crowd at a glance.

He frowned slightly, then said something indifferently, which annoyed the person next to him.

Seeing this scene, Qiao Zhen quickly walked past them.

When she met Lu Zheng's gaze, she nodded to him and then quickly left.

Lu Zheng turned around and glanced at Qiao Zhen's back, a hint of dissatisfaction flashing in his eyes.

Seeing Lu Zheng's expression, the assistant immediately guessed what he was thinking.

"Mr. Lu, how about we call it a day? I think Mr. Stilwell is a bit tired."

“Oh, Lin, I…” Stilwell, who was suddenly called out, paused for a moment, then shook his head.

No, he didn't feel tired at all, and he still had a few points to discuss with President Lu.

The assistant winked at Stilwell, tugged at his sleeve, and shook his head at him.

Stilwell immediately understood and nodded, saying, "Yes, yes, I feel a little tired. President Lu has been working for so many days, he must be tired too. You should get some rest so you'll have the energy to continue the discussion tomorrow."

As soon as he finished speaking, the people behind him instantly wore bitter expressions.

Do we have to continue tomorrow? Life abroad has already been terrible. I finally got to go back home, and I was looking forward to the weekend.

Who would have thought we'd have to work on Saturday!

Lu Zheng listened to Stilwell's words, glanced at his watch, nodded, and said in a deep voice, "That's all for today. We'll discuss the next steps later."

After saying that, he strode towards the company entrance.

The employee, who had just been looking miserable, immediately broke into a smile.

Waiting for notification, then it's uncertain.

At the entrance, Qiao was about to take the subway when she suddenly saw a flashy car stop in front of her.

Seeing this car, Qiao Zhen sighed inwardly.

She stopped by the roadside, and after a while, the car window rolled down, revealing Lu Zheng's handsome face.

"Get in." This time, Qiao Zhen didn't refuse; she opened the car door and got in.

Unsurprisingly, the destination was Lu Zheng's house.

The housekeeper wasn't home, and Lu Zheng opened the refrigerator to find it empty.

He frowned slightly as he closed the refrigerator door.

"We're out of ingredients at home." He looked at Qiao Zhen with a helpless expression.

Qiao Zhen blinked at him and asked, "So?"

"Want to go out to eat?" Lu Zheng just looked at her without saying a word. After a while, Qiao Zhen hesitated and asked.

"Things outside are not safe."

Upon hearing this, Qiao Zhen looked at him with a puzzled expression.

No, Mr. Lu, the Wei Quan Zhai restaurant you frequent is yours! Aren't you afraid people won't go there anymore if you say something like that?

"Let's go to the supermarket." With that, he grabbed Qiao Zhen and rushed out the door.

Qiao Zhen was stunned. What was going on? Was he possessed by a ghost?

Was the incident at the clothing store not memorable enough? You actually want to go to the supermarket?

At this moment, Lu Zheng's mind was filled with what his friend had said: be more approachable and not aloof.

The only way he could think of to be approachable was to go to the supermarket and cook.

I can't think of anything more.

Upon arriving at the supermarket, Lu Zheng pulled the shopping cart inside.

He pushed the cart with one hand and held Qiao Zhen's hand with the other.

Although Qiao Zhen didn't understand what he was doing, she thought about what he had done for her and tried her best to cooperate with him.

He wandered around the electronics section for a long time, finally managed to get out, and then went to the household goods section.

And so, he took Qiao Zhen around these two districts.

Qiao Zhen couldn't cooperate anymore.

She pointed to the sign above and said to Lu Zheng, "Look there."

Lu Zheng followed Qiao Zhen's gesture and saw a sign above.

He looked at Qiao Zhen with a puzzled expression, not understanding what she meant.
