Chapter 28 As a secretary, you must be available at any time.
On the day of the birthday banquet, which was a day off, Luo Zhiwei slept soundly for the first time in her own private space.
In that suffocating home, she was always very cautious, even needing to be careful when sleeping.
When I can't hold on any longer, I go to Gu Youran's place and sleep there.
I'm quite comfortable in my own little space now.
When she woke up, she saw that Gu Youran had transferred 8 million yuan to her bank card. Somewhat bewildered, she transferred the money back.
"Ranran, why did you transfer so much money to me?"
Gu Youran seemed to be making a suggestive joke, but her bright voice was very soothing: "Baby, those are all yours. I sold all of Zhao Yulan's clothes. Every single one was in high demand. I made a little over 7.98 million, so I rounded it up for you. You can't be polite with me."
"However, if you're really being polite, I might reluctantly agree to have a meal with you."
Luo Zhiwei was very pleased. She asked gently, "Then may I ask when Miss Gu will have time?"
"Hmm, tomorrow then."
Gu Youran was driving, and Luo Zhiwei didn't disturb her too much. She just gave her a few words of advice and then hung up the phone.
On this rare weekend, Luo Zhiwei had planned to buy groceries and cook at home herself. For the past few years, she had been able to fend for herself in that villa.
Just as Luo Zhiwei finished getting ready to leave, she received a call from Lu Jingxiao.
It was obvious that Luo Zhiwei was harboring some resentment like a working-class person at this moment.
People with depression are prone to irritability; they either think about suicide or become extremely agitated. Now that she's been disturbed, she feels a little guilty and also a bit irritable.
But then she did something foolish, wanting to hear what Lu Jingxiao had to say.
"President Lu."
Where are you now?
"Mr. Lu, it's the weekend today. I remember your work schedule is on Monday."
Luo Zhiwei's unspoken message was that you have no work scheduled for today.
"Luo Zhiwei, as a secretary, you should be available whenever I call. Don't you know your job responsibilities?"
Luo Zhiwei had nothing to say, but coldly asked, "Then where are you now, Mr. Lu? I'm coming to find you now."
"company."
Luo Zhiwei: "......"
For a moment, she understood Gu Youran. She slept in late on the weekend, and when her subordinates had problems, she had to go to the company with full makeup on, full of resentment.
She has a little bit of that now too.
After hanging up the phone, Luo Zhiwei gave up on going to buy groceries and resignedly drove to Lu's.

In Lu Jingxiao's office, Luo Zhiwei walked in and saw the owner she had met at the art studio before, whose name was Kevin...
“President Lu.” Luo Zhiwei then looked at Kevin and nodded slightly: “Mr. Kevin.”
Kevin, with an air of irresistible charm, swayed his hips as he walked towards Luo Zhiwei, circling her three times as if sizing her up and down... Luo Zhiwei felt like a monkey on Mount Emei.
"Mr. Kevin, what's going on...?"
Before she could finish speaking, Kevin started to move. He assured Lu Jingxiao, "Leave it to me. I will make her the Best Queen of tonight's banquet."
Kevin spoke with great enthusiasm, as if he were about to create a work of art; he was very energetic.
On the other hand, Luo Zhiwei was not so optimistic. She hadn't figured out the situation, but she felt it was related to the Gu family's birthday banquet that evening: "President Lu, I said before that you should bring your fiancée to the Gu family's birthday banquet, not me. It's not appropriate."
"Who I bring is my business. As my secretary, you just need to cooperate with me." Lu Jingxiao said jokingly, "With me here, no one will say a bad word about you."
Luo Zhiwei: "......"
She didn't really want to believe him.
His friends...
Oh well, it's all in the past.
"Mr. Lu, I really shouldn't have come. You have a fiancée, why didn't you bring her with you?"
Is it appropriate to bring a secretary to a birthday banquet for an elder?
Kevin, who was listening from the side, was completely confused. He looked at Lu Jingxiao with doubt, then at Luo Zhiwei with shock, and quickly interjected, "Lu Jingxiao doesn't have a fiancée. When did he get a fiancée? How come I didn't know?"
Upon hearing this, Lu Jingxiao looked at Luo Zhiwei nervously.
He wanted to see a different emotion on Luo Zhiwei's face, at least, surprise.
However, Luo Zhiwei remained remarkably calm. Although she was slightly shocked inside, she showed no sign of it on her face.
No fiancée?
It's been circulating so widely online, how could it be fake?
She had seen Miss Bai at the company several times, and those encounters were genuine.
Luo Zhiwei curled her lips in a self-deprecating smile, tinged with anger and sarcasm: "Mr. Kevin, are you still covering for your good brother at a time like this?"
Kevin: "???"
Lu Jingxiao: "..."
I shouldn't have had any expectations.
"Luo Zhiwei, if you don't want the fact that Gu Beixiao gave you the invitation to be exposed, then come to the birthday banquet with me. If you're there, Gu Yulin won't pursue the Zhao Tingguo family; if you're not there, then what is your purpose...?"
Luo Zhiwei gave a self-deprecating laugh.
It seems he already knew his purpose, but he still said it. He has truly let go.
What Luo Zhiwei didn't know was that the invitation in her bag had already been changed to bear the name of the Luo Group, which proved that the invitation came from the Luo Group. As the current head of the Luo Group, Zhao Tingguo was naturally qualified to attend.
He knew Luo Zhiwei wouldn't look at the contents of the invitation, so he devised a little scheme.
"Okay, I'll go with you."
Lu Jingxiao curled his lips in triumph.
He looked at Kevin: "It's up to you."

After nearly two hours of styling, Kevin finally finished designing Luo Zhiwei's look, mainly spending a long time on her hair.
In his eyes, Luo Zhiwei's long, straight black hair didn't suit her face shape; it was only because she was beautiful that her hairstyle was overlooked. But he couldn't accept that such a perfect face was being sculpted by a hairstyle.
Look at that curly hair, it suits her so well.
The long, wavy hair made Luo Zhiwei's facial features appear more defined.
She looks even better; every smile and frown exudes charm.
Lu Jingxiao: "..."
Is it too late to regret it now?
He didn't want to show it to anyone else.
Weiwei like this should be hidden away by him, hidden away.
Luo Zhiwei was originally a rose that grew towards the sun, and should be full of charm. Now that she really is full of charm, he is somewhat unhappy.
Kevin, excited and eager for praise, exclaimed, "How was it? How was it? Wasn't it beautiful? It was sure to be the most stunning performance of the night!"
Even he couldn't help but be moved when he saw it.
Not to mention others.
I bet they've been itching to get started for a while now.
How could Lu Jingxiao admit that he was stunned? He coughed awkwardly twice, turned his head to the side, and dared not meet Luo Zhiwei's eyes: "It's...it's alright, nothing special."
Kevin teased, "You're just being stubborn."
He thoughtfully glanced at the time and said, "It's almost time. You should hurry up and go, so as not to keep them waiting."
