Chapter 5 The Rose in the Notebook
Luo Zhiwei really did accompany Lu Jingxiao for a whole day of meetings, and Lu Jingxiao would occasionally ask her questions during the meetings.
Every time a question was asked, Wei Mingfeng felt like something was hanging over his head.
Has the CEO gone mad? Isn't Miss Luo on her first day at the company? How could she possibly express her opinion during a meeting?
As it turns out, Wei Mingfeng was overthinking things.
Luo Zhiwei always gets straight to the point, concise and clear, pointing out the pain points of the solutions and providing insightful analysis.
After each answer, Lu Jingxiao would casually give a comment.
"not bad."
"That makes some sense."
"It seems this new secretary knows the company very well."
“You’re not even as good as a newbie. Take the proposal back and rewrite it.”
From offering subtle advice to berating his own employees, no one can fathom Lu Jingxiao's thoughts.
But... Wei Mingfeng knew that the president was in a very good mood today.
Even Lu Jingxiao himself thought so.
He was in a good mood, for no apparent reason.
As for why it's good.
Lu Jingxiao glanced at Luo Zhiwei meaningfully before looking away.
Luo Zhiwei, I knew it...
Sitting to the side, Luo Zhiwei suddenly felt somewhat fortunate. These projects were all announced by the Lu family after they announced their heir in the past month, and she had studied them all.
When I can't sleep at night, I study Lu's projects.
She didn't know if she could help Lu Jingxiao, but she just wanted to do more research, hoping it might come in handy.
I never expected to use it today.
Lu Jingxiao glanced leisurely at his watch: "Time's almost up. That's enough. Take the entire proposal back and rewrite it. You have three days. If you can't deliver a satisfactory result by then..."
The rest is self-explanatory.
only....
Some people, skeptical, glanced out the window.
The sun did rise in the east today, that's for sure. Why is the CEO being so merciful?
This is just too wonderful!
"The meeting is over, managers and heads, if you don't leave..." Wei Mingfeng had already reminded them to this extent, if these people didn't leave, the president would lose his temper.
In a flash, everyone ran away.
Luo Zhiwei stood up, her voice slightly respectful: "President Lu, is there anything else you need? It's almost time to leave work. If there's nothing else..."
"That's all, Miss Luo can go home now."
Anyway, we have plenty of time in the future.
Luo Zhiwei looked at Wei Mingfeng: "Assistant Wei, is my workstation ready? I need to put my office supplies there."
Wei Mingfeng thought for a moment, and based on the schedule, he estimated that it still needed some finishing touches: "Put it on my workstation, your workstation won't be ready until tomorrow morning."
Lu Jingxiao narrowed his eyes dangerously.
When did their relationship become so good?
Chatting like this in front of him, does that mean you don't respect me?
"You put it in my office, how can you be so shameless as to bother others?"
Lu Jingxiao abruptly left a comment and went straight back to his office.
Wei Mingfeng and Luo Zhiwei were left looking at each other in bewilderment.
Luo Zhiwei didn't argue with him, and followed him back to the office. She placed all the office supplies on Lu Jingxiao's desk.
Her fingers swept across the rose pattern on the notebook, leaving a trace of reluctance.
Her movements weren't deliberate; they were natural. She thought she had concealed them well, but... she was still discovered.
"What, you like the roses in the notebook that much?"
"Hmm, it's quite unique."
Luo Zhiwei pretended to be stupid.
Lu Jingxiao almost choked on his words.
Can't you say a few more words?
Luo Zhiwei concealed her emotions and adopted a businesslike attitude: "President Lu, since today's work is finished, I'll be leaving now."
Lu Jingxiao didn't speak, and Luo Zhiwei didn't know what he meant either.
But she still left work.
Lu Jingxiao couldn't help but curse, but soon his expression returned to normal.
Wei Mingfeng: "......"
When President Lu went to the United States, he must have learned face-changing in Chengdu.
That's an incredibly fast change of expression.

Lu Jingxiao leaned back in his chair, rocking back and forth with a roguish air. He asked in a low voice, "How's the investigation going?"
Wei Mingfeng immediately replied seriously, "I've already found it, President."
"The slap mark on Miss Luo's face was from her father, Zhao Tingguo. Over the years, Zhao Tingguo, this son-in-law who married into the family, has really put on a show outside, even keeping a mistress and her daughter. Miss Luo has had a hard time all these years."
It feels a bit like a tragic story of a beautiful, strong woman.
Miss Luo is beautiful. Among all the girls he has ever seen, she has the most delicate features, the most temperament, and the most beautiful appearance. No one can imitate her temperament.
She's quite capable; she knows the company's business inside and out. In just one day, she secured her position as secretary.
Tragic...it really is tragic. Her father doesn't care for her and has repeatedly sent Miss Luo to other men's beds. I really don't know how Miss Luo managed to escape.
But I can't tell the CEO these things. If he finds out, I'm afraid... no one will have a good time.
"Is Zhao Tingguo now in charge of the Luo Group?"
"yes."
"Luo Zhiwei should have received the shares after coming of age, so how come...?"
Wei Mingfeng glanced at the documents: "These...the shares are currently in Zhao Tingguo's hands."
Lu Jingxiao: "..."
He frowned in displeasure.
What's wrong with Aunt Luo? Five years ago, she suddenly stopped caring about the company's affairs, and now she's not even giving Luo Zhiwei the shares she owns.
"President, ever since Chairman Luo passed away..."
"Brother, brother, why are you still at the company after get off work?!"
Bai Yuxin suddenly barged in, interrupting Wei Mingfeng. Lu Jingxiao wanted to ask something, but this interruption made him forget everything.
Lu Jingxiao frowned unhappily: "What are you doing at the company?"
Bai Yuxin threw her bag on the sofa and walked step by step toward Lu Jingxiao in her high heels: "What else could I be here for? Of course, I'm here to have dinner with you. Besides, as your nominal 'fiancée,' I have to come to the company to keep an eye on all the other women around you."
Lu Jingxiao muttered under his breath, "You're sick."
Bai Yuxin went up and locked his neck, pressing him against the chair so as not to cause any harm: "Brother, you can't kick me after I've served my purpose. I've accompanied you back so publicly, it's hard for me to find a boyfriend now, and you're still so cold to me?"
Lu Jingxiao rolled his eyes, looking disdainful: "Since you want to find a boyfriend, I'll go back and have your aunt arrange one for you. You can choose any young master from the elite families in the circle."
Bai Yuxin jumped three feet high, getting quite far away from Lu Jingxiao, and retreated!
"Brother, can you please stop scaring me like that? You're really going to scare me half to death."
Getting a boyfriend?
I wouldn't even associate with a dog.
Her wish is to live a blissfully single life, and then rely on Lu Jingxiao's children to support her in her old age.
She can't handle the hardships of marriage.
Bai Yuxin suddenly looked at Lu Jingxiao with a gossipy expression: "Brother, when I went upstairs just now, I ran into a girl. It seems to be the one I met at the police station yesterday... How did you manage to bring her to the company?"
