Chapter 27 Having an ex like you is really unlucky for Weiwei.
Lu Jingxiao had no pleasant expression at all. His face was dark and sinister as he stared intently at Luo Zhiwei, as if he wanted to bore two holes through her.
"Secretary Luo, you've abandoned your post during working hours. Do you even respect me?"
I'm so angry! I'm so angry!
Luo Zhiwei, you're really great!
She works for me, and then she has to meet this piece of trash privately during work hours.
Gu Beixiao was somewhat dissatisfied. He stood up, protecting Luo Zhiwei, his voice cold and distant, yet his words conveyed a sense of protectiveness: "President Lu, you don't need to get so angry. I was the one who needed to talk to Weiwei. If you're going to blame someone, blame me. Don't involve Weiwei."
Lu Jingxiao narrowed his eyes, his gaze filled with malice.
Hmph, you think I wouldn't dare?
"Mr. Gu, you contacted my secretary during work hours because you wanted to find out Lu's Group's secrets?"
Gu Beixiao: "..."
That's really a bit unreasonable.
Luo Zhiwei explained helplessly, "No, President Lu, I... I neglected my post. You can do whatever you want with me, I don't care. There's no need to take your anger out on Brother Gu."
She was about to say something when a waiter approached and interrupted her.
"Madam, here is your coffee, it's already packed."
Luo Zhiwei nodded slightly: "Thank you." Then she naturally took the coffee and put it directly into Lu Jingxiao's hand: "This is your coffee."
She turned to look at Gu Beixiao, her eyes filled with apology: "Brother Gu, thank you for your help today. I'll treat you to a meal another day. You can go ahead and do what you need to do. I won't take up any more of your time."
Gu Beixiao nodded slightly, acknowledging Luo Zhiwei's words, but he still looked at Luo Zhiwei gently: "Go to work first, call me if anything happens."
"No need. If my secretary needs anything, I, the boss, am here."
Lu Jingxiao interrupted Luo Zhiwei, silencing her.
He would be furious if she told him.
Luo Zhiwei could only sigh helplessly. She wanted to say something but couldn't. She could only look at Gu Beixiao apologetically and left without giving Lu Jingxiao a second glance.
Without Luo Zhiwei around, Lu Jingxiao felt more at ease.
He slowly walked up to Gu Beixiao. Lu Jingxiao was a head taller than the man in front of him. He deliberately looked down at Gu Beixiao with a threatening and warning look on his face: "I'm warning you, Weiwei is not someone you can mess with. You'd better stay away from her!"
Gu Beixiao didn't take him seriously at all. He was a nobody who got to this position not by groveling, but by refusing to accept his fate.
Despite knowing that the man before him held the power of life and death over the vast majority of companies in Beijing's business circle, he remained utterly unafraid.
"You're Weiwei's ex, right?" Gu Beixiao's tone was tinged with contempt, and his sarcastic gaze made Lu Jingxiao very unhappy.
"Weiwei is really unlucky to have run into you."
"What do you mean?"
"Literal meaning."
Lu Jingxiao couldn't control his emotions and grabbed Gu Beixiao by the collar: "Explain yourself. What gives you the right to mock me? She was the one who broke up with me in the first place."
"Idiot."
Gu Beixiao was fearless: "That's Weiwei protecting you."
"Lu Jingxiao, is hiding your identity particularly exciting for you?"
Lu Jingxiao's hand paused. He didn't understand what Gu Beixiao meant: "You... what do you mean?"
Why do we say he's hiding his identity?
What does Weiwei's breakup with him have to do with his hiding his identity?
"It's nothing, Mr. Lu, you can figure it out yourself." Gu Beixiao straightened his collar and looked at Lu Jingxiao with an arrogant expression: "Mr. Lu, if you don't like Weiwei, then don't delay her. You can afford to waste time, but she can't. You can't just let Weiwei watch the shares of Luo's fall into Zhao Tingguo's hands."
Lu Jingxiao seemed to have grasped some important information, though it wasn't clear. His anger hadn't subsided, and his face remained furious.
"That's her business, what does it have to do with me?"
Gu Beixiao: "..."
They're still being stubborn.
Hopefully, I won't be proven wrong in the end.
"So, if I really marry Weiwei, what does it have to do with you?"
Gu Beixiao snorted coldly and left without paying any attention to how bewildered Lu Jingxiao was.
Wei Mingfeng stood silently behind Lu Jingxiao.
Wow~
That's Secretary Luo's... friend?
No wonder President Lu was angry; it was a close contest.
No, could this be President Lu's love rival?
Then we'll see what's going to be like.
"Wei Mingfeng, what does Gu Beixiao mean?"
"ah?"
Wei Mingfeng was also completely bewildered. "I don't know. How could I possibly know?"
But how could an all-around assistant be defeated by such a trivial matter?
"President, I'll go investigate right now." Wei Mingfeng had only taken two steps when he turned back: "I remembered, President Lu, I investigated Miss Luo's information before."
Lu Jingxiao's face darkened: "Why didn't you say so earlier?"
Wei Mingfeng: "......"
No child.
It's something you don't want to see.
How can you blame me?
"I put it on your desk before, but you didn't see it."
Lu Jingxiao: "...Couldn't you have reminded me?"
Wei Mingfeng: "......"
Okay, okay, it's all my fault.
"President, it's the same if I say it now." Wei Mingfeng gave a professional smile: "President, after the death of Luo Huining, the former chairman of Luo's Group, he left 80% of the company's shares to Miss Luo Zhiwei. Although Zhao Tingguo handled it on her behalf, the shares are not in his hands, but are kept in custody at the notary office."
"The only condition for Miss Luo Zhiwei to inherit the shares is marriage. She can only receive the shares if she has been married for more than six months. Of course, Ms. Luo Huining has considered everything very carefully..."
Wei Mingfeng recounted everything he had investigated, watching his boss go from confusion to shock, to astonishment, and finally to heartache and anger.
He couldn't help but feel a few emotions.
Mr. Lu is really head over heels in love with Miss Luo. No, that's not quite right. If he were really head over heels in love, he wouldn't be neglecting to look at what he's investigating.
Well... the CEO deserved it.
Why are you only telling me now that it's so important?
Lu Jingxiao roared angrily, like a furious lion.
Wei Mingfeng: "......"
He lowered his head slightly: "I'm sorry, President, it's my fault. I should have made it clear beforehand."
Lu Jingxiao took a deep breath, trying to compose himself: "Go and investigate what Luo Zhiwei wanted with Gu Beixiao?"
Meanwhile, Gu Beixiao, who had left, said to his assistant after getting into the car, "Lu Jingxiao will probably inquire about what happened today. Have someone tell his people about it. As long as their people know, that's fine."
Gu Yulin is Lu Jingxiao's good older brother, so it's better for Lu Jingxiao to handle Weiwei's matter than for Gu Yulin.
It wasn't that he was compromising, but rather that he didn't want any unnecessary trouble.
"Yes, Mr. President."
——
Luo Zhiwei sat nervously at her workstation, finally waiting for Lu Jingxiao to return, but... Lu Jingxiao didn't give her a friendly look at all, and with a haughty snort, he carried his coffee into the office.
Luo Zhiwei: "......"
Sigh, I'm a bit mentally exhausted.
Wei Mingfeng quickly found out what had happened.
Knowing Luo Zhiwei's purpose, Lu Jingxiao's lips curled into a triumphant smile: "You handle this matter..."
