Chapter 288 Differential Treatment
This is the top floor of the Lu Family Group Building at this time.
"It's already past nine o'clock... Why isn't President Lu leaving get off work yet?" In the top-floor office, several white-collar workers were so exhausted from working overtime that they felt like throwing up.
"You can leave once you've finished what you're doing."
"Sister Meijia, is it really okay?"
The woman they were talking about, Sister Meijia, was wearing a silver-white suit, had long, flowing hair, and looked to be around thirty years old, exuding the air of a professional woman.
"Of course, Mr. Lu said that we can leave work on time after we finish our own duties." Sister Meijia glanced at the clock on the wall. "Besides, Mr. Lu will probably be working until dawn today, and you can't afford to keep him company!"
"Okay, let's go home then, Meijia."
"Sister Meijia, aren't you leaving?"
"I can stay here by myself, so that if Mr. Lu needs anything, he won't be unable to find me."
Meijia smiled slightly and watched everyone leave.
Everyone took the elevator down to the first floor, exclaiming as they walked, "Sister Meijia is so kind!"
"Sister Meijia is beautiful and capable; she's exactly the kind of woman I want to be!"
"Don't you guys think Sister Meijia and President Lu are a perfect match? They're both workaholics! And Sister Meijia is so thoughtful and attentive..."
Before he could finish speaking, he was bumped on the shoulder.
"Feel sorry."
A cool, clear female voice and a slender figure walked past them, bringing with them a chilling aura.
Who would come to the office building at this hour?
Before they could take another look, the figure had already disappeared around the corner of the corridor, and the flickering lights on the ceiling were quite eerie.
"Did we encounter a ghost?"
"Hurry up, hurry up..."
The hairs on their heads stood on end, and they took off running.
The aroma of hand-drip coffee filled the workspace.
When Chen Meijia knocked on the door of the president's office, she saw a figure sitting in a swivel chair with his back to her. He was tilting his head slightly, seemingly looking at the twinkling stars outside the floor-to-ceiling window, or perhaps he was taking a nap with his eyes closed.
"Is there something you need?" came the indifferent voice.
"Ah... Mr. Lu, I made you a cup of coffee and some of your favorite snacks!" Chen Meijia placed the tray on the table, glanced at it, and then picked up a document from the cabinet, her eyes wide with surprise. "This is the contract for merging Zheng's Enterprise into a subsidiary? Mr. Lu, you've acquired Zheng's as well?"
"Hmm." Lu Jinye said in a calm tone, "This document was originally supposed to be given to the secretary's office tomorrow. Since you've seen it, take it. You'll have to arrange the follow-up matters."
“Okay, Mr. Lu.” Chen Meijia hugged the document to her chest. The thought that she was the first person to have access to this crucial document was enough to show Mr. Lu’s trust in her. This gave her a sense of superiority and she couldn’t help but show her joy!
In addition, it was late at night, and the two of them were the only ones in the entire building, so it was inevitable that their imaginations would run wild...
"Mr. Lu, you must be very tired after working so late. How about I massage your shoulders to relax your muscles?"
"Need not."
"Mr. Lu, you..."
"If there's nothing else, get out." Lu Jinye raised a hand. "Don't bother me."
He hasn't been to headquarters for a long time, and I don't even know when they changed his female secretary.
"Okay. I'll be right outside the door. Call me if you need anything!"
Chen Meijia tightened her grip on the documents in her hand, then quickly and tactfully turned around, left, and closed the door behind her.
President Lu has a special status and doesn't usually come to the headquarters building. It's rare for him to stay here today, yet he's being so cold to her...
She pouted and sat back down at her workstation, feeling a little disappointed.
Time passed second by second.
When the wall clock struck nine twenty, footsteps suddenly echoed down the corridor.
Chen Meijia looked up at the sound and saw a tall, slender figure walking towards the president's office.
With both height and figure comparable to a model, the bright red leather jacket paired with black trousers looks like an expensive fashion item on her!
With a clean and beautiful face, a proud and upright posture, and an outstanding temperament!
"Hello, who are you looking for? And how did you get in?"
"I'm looking for Lu Jinye."
Wen Ni stopped in her tracks, turned to look at the woman sitting at the booth, and waved the premium access card in her hand at the woman.
Clearly, this woman must be the Sister Meijia that those white-collar workers kept mentioning when they left.
Her looks, figure, and temperament are indeed remarkable!
But she's still not quite right to be paired with Lu Jinye.
"You're looking for our CEO, Mr. Lu?" Chen Meijia frowned, stood up, and blocked his way, her gaze sweeping over him repeatedly. "Who are you to Mr. Lu?"
“I am his friend.”
"Friends?" Chen Meijia was both wary and amused. "What female friends does President Lu have? It's even more impossible for him to have his friends come to the company in the middle of the night! Tell me honestly, where did you steal your access card from? Trespassing in the company building, I'm calling the police!"
“Baron gave me this access card,” Wen Ni said calmly and innocently.
"Liar! How could he possibly entrust something so important to you?" Chen Meijia was furious and held out her hand. "Give it back to me."
“I told you, this was given to me by Baron, why should I give it to you?” Wen Ni said, holding the key card. “Get out of the way, I’m only looking for Lu Jinye.”
"Too many people want to see our CEO Lu. Do you think you can just let him see you whenever you want?!"
Indeed, given Lu Jinye's complicated background, it's hard to guarantee that there won't be anyone with ill intentions trying to get close to him.
"Okay, fine, I won't see you then."
Recalling what she had overheard in the stairwell, Wen Ni felt a surge of inexplicable anger. She turned her back and coldly snorted, "It wasn't like I wanted to see him anyway."
"What's all the noise about?"
The door behind them was then opened, and an impatient man's voice came through.
Chen Meijia quickly apologized, "I'm so sorry, Mr. Lu! I disturbed you! A stalker fan somehow managed to get our VIP access card and barged in! But I've already taken care of it!"
"Stalker fans?" Lu Jinye's voice was hesitant.
"Yes, it's a stalker fan." Chen Meijia turned her head and continued to scold in a very aggressive tone, "President Lu is already in a bad mood today, don't rub salt in the wound! Get out of here right now! Do you really want me to call the police?"
"She is not a sasaeng fan."
Lu Jinye's impatient tone disappeared, replaced by surprise and hidden joy!
Chen Meijia was stunned, and watched as President Lu stood behind the girl and pulled her arm!
"Wen Ni, what brings you here?"
"I don't know why I came either." Wen Ni turned her eyes, still sulking. "Baron insisted I come. I thought something had happened to you again!"
"Baron?" Lu Jinye's expression faltered, but he quickly realized. He lowered his head, concealing the smile playing on his lips. "Since we're already here, how about we go somewhere together?"
"Where are you going in the middle of the night?"
"You'll know when you get there." Lu Jinye naturally took her arm, and with his other hand dialed Qin Yuan's number. "Qin Yuan, where are you?"
"Mr. Lu! I'm fixing Barron's car! You wouldn't believe it! His car door fell off! I'm just wondering, can a person really break that? It's exhausting..."
"Stop fixing it, get the car ready, let's go to Xiaonanshan," Lu Jinye said.
"What???"
Qin Yuan was still in a daze when the call ended.
Wen Ni was equally bewildered; she didn't even have a chance to refuse. "Going up the mountain at this time!?"
"Um."
As they were talking, she was pulled out of the corridor.
Chen Meijia stood there, dumbfounded.
After a while, she turned her head to look at the half-open door to the president's office.
The cup of coffee she had prepared had gone completely cold, yet it showed no signs of having been touched...
