Chapter 168: Good performance, raise!!
The next day, Luo Zhiwei and Lu Jingxiao appeared at the company together, causing an uproar among the gossip-loving girls.
【Aaaaaah, I knew it! Secretary Luo and President Lu are definitely having an affair, absolutely!】
[Oh my god, Secretary Luo and President Lu look so well-matched, so perfect, they look like a married couple.]
I heard that Secretary Luo is the president of the Luo Group. She and President Lu are a match made in heaven.
Are they together? Are they together? Waaaaah, my favorite couple has to be real!
They're such a perfect match, so well-matched! I really want to ask them about it.
[Upstairs, you're incredibly bold! Who are you planning to ask? Let me hear your answer too.]
The group chat was buzzing with excitement, but Wei Mingfeng remained composed, watching the 'ignorant' young girls discuss President Lu and Secretary Luo.
He's different; he just watches them show off their love online. By the end of the day, he doesn't even need to eat; he can get full just from watching their PDA.
This is another gossip group. Luo Zhiwei isn't in their group and doesn't know what happened.
After sitting down at her workstation, she immediately got into work mode, first making Lu Jingxiao a cup of coffee and then organizing the things she would need for today's meeting.
After spending more than an hour finishing her work, Luo Zhiwei finally remembered to make herself a cup of coffee.
However... she hasn't met up with her downstairs girlfriends in a long time, so why not take a stroll downstairs while she's making coffee?
Anyway, Lu Jingxiao doesn't have anything important to do right now, so it shouldn't be a problem for him to go.
Thinking this, she did just that, taking her cup and going downstairs.
There happened to be a few girls in the break room. When they saw Luo Zhiwei, they weren't scared at all and went straight to greet her.
"Secretary Luo, it's been a long time! I thought you'd resigned since you haven't been to the company for so long."
"Yes, we haven't seen you in a long time. You and President Lu..."
Well, your gossipy nature was exposed so quickly. I wonder if Secretary Luo will be angry.
"Mr. Lu and I... have some things to attend to, so we won't be at the company for a while."
A young woman who seemed to know a bit more whispered in a voice only they could hear, "Secretary Luo, I heard that you're the president of the Luo Group, and President Lu is now a professional manager at the Luo Group. You and President Lu...?"
"Secretary Luo, are you and President Lu a couple? You two look so loving."
Some disagreed and retorted: "It's obvious that President Lu loves Secretary Luo more. Every time President Lu looks at Secretary Luo, his eyes are full of love. He looks so affectionate."
Luo Zhiwei: "......"
Am I the center of gossip?
"You've misunderstood. My relationship with President Lu is one of mutual benefit."
Although she had the advantage, she can't admit it.
"Secretary Luo, aren't we best friends? You can't keep this from us, you and President Lu..."
"We really have nothing to do with each other. Mr. Lu and I are both single..."
Luo Zhiwei sighed and rubbed her forehead in exasperation. She didn't even want to make coffee anymore; maybe she should just go upstairs.
She had no idea how to respond to these questions.
"Impossible! There's definitely something going on between you and President Lu. Before, the way President Lu looked at you was a bit disdainful, like a bickering couple, but today is different!" The colleague continued, "The way President Lu looked at you today was full of love! My God, if I had a man who loved me so much, I would be so happy."
Luo Zhiwei: "......"
She didn't refute it; in fact, she silently agreed in her heart.
Yes, it's so wonderful to have a man who only has eyes for you.
She was once very happy and felt that she was the happiest woman in the world.
Now...being by Lu Jingxiao's side, she still feels that way.
"You've all misunderstood. Mr. Lu and I are currently just in a superior-subordinate relationship."
Luo Zhiwei repeatedly emphasized this, and the others also woke up from their dream. It seems... this is real.
Secretary Luo and President Lu...can't they really be together?
They really are a perfect match.
However, some people still wouldn't give up: "Secretary Luo, when are you planning to win over President Lu? If you can win over President Lu, it will be a great honor for us women."
They really, really wanted to see the scene of President Lu, who was high and mighty, descending to earth.
"What do you mean, 'take over'?" Lu Jingxiao's voice suddenly came from behind them: "As long as Weiwei is willing, I can be with Weiwei anytime. Do we need to 'take over' her?"
He was about to walk right into their trap, but Weiwei deliberately didn't give him that chance.
Luo Zhiwei: "......"
I wanted to crawl into a hole and disappear; this moment was just too embarrassing.
He actually admitted it.
"Aaaaaaahh ...
Several girls screamed instantly!
I knew it! I knew it!!
There's something going on between President Lu and Secretary Luo!
As expected!
A cold and aloof CEO from the Beijing elite circle and a cool and elegant socialite secretary from the same circle.
They'll really be locked in a life-or-death struggle.
Lu Jingxiao couldn't help but cover his ears. These girls were emotionally unstable and unsteady.
"Mr. Lu, really? Really?"
"Mr. Lu, you and Secretary Luo are such a perfect match. I wish you a long and happy life together. I hope you win the heart of your beauty soon, and please invite us to your wedding with candy!"
There are always some bold people; look, they're going straight for the wedding candy.
"Then I wish President Lu and Secretary Luo a speedy marriage. Getting married first and then buying the ticket is fine too."
Although Lu Jingxiao's face didn't show any obvious expression, the joy in his eyes and the smile at the corner of his mouth betrayed his feelings.
He was somewhat flattered by these blessings.
He coughed discreetly, "You've been doing well lately. Each of you will get a raise of 5,000. Just report it to HR."
!!! !!! !
Luo Zhiwei: "???"
This person hasn't been in the company lately, so how does he know that these people are performing well?
She didn't really want to be presumptuous, but... Lu Jingxiao wouldn't have been happy just because of their 'blessings'.
This is considered flattery.
Amidst their shocked gazes, Lu Jingxiao looked at Luo Zhiwei and took two steps closer, their distance quite ambiguous: "Secretary Luo, can we go upstairs now? We can make coffee upstairs, can't we?"
"However, before you drink coffee, please have some milk first. I've already prepared it for you."
!!! !!! !!! !!!
Luo Zhiwei covered his mouth, and after seeing the looks in the eyes of the girls, she immediately ran away as if fleeing.
That's so embarrassing.
Lu Jingxiao is really something, why say something so misleading?
Isn't this deliberately trying to make them misunderstand their relationship?
——
Back upstairs, Luo Zhiwei found a glass of milk on her workstation. She reached out to touch it, and to her surprise... the milk was warm.
A sweet smile unconsciously appeared on Luo Zhiwei's face.
She picked up the milk glass, took a sip, then another. Why was it so sweet when it was supposed to be pure milk?
"Is it good?"
Lu Jingxiao stood behind her and asked gently.
The moment he appeared, Wei Mingfeng very consciously... disappeared.
"Not bad." A drop of milk still clung to the corner of Luo Zhiwei's mouth as she smiled brightly. "Would you like to try some?"
"Okay, I'll try it."
Lu Jingxiao didn't take the milk cup, but instead kissed Luo Zhiwei's lips directly, from lightly touching the corner of her lips to covering them completely.
Luo Zhiwei's mind went blank for a moment. What... was I kissed in the office?
