Chapter 88 Rotten Peach Blossoms
In the end, Lu Fengqing did not wear that fuchsia dress.
Because that scoundrel said if she dared to wear that dress, he would have a hundred-meter-long red carpet laid out for her and call the reporters over.
...That's really awful!
However, Lu Fengqing did not give up.
She wore a champagne gold knee-length dress adorned with shimmering sequins and sky-high heels that were 10 centimeters high.
A few days ago, she wanted to keep a low profile and always wore low-heeled shoes to work, but now... she doesn't want to be low-profile anymore; she'll do whatever makes her stand out.
If it weren't for her status as an "assistant," she would have liked to wear sunglasses.
Let those people in the Gu family who gossip about her behind her back see for themselves that she, an innocent victim, has returned from the police station without losing a single hair!
As Gu Suixing got out of the car, she bent her arm slightly. "Hold hands?"
“…” Lu Fengqing refused, “No.”
She's starting to dislike him a bit.
What a jerk of a man who even cares what skirt you wear!
Lu Fengqing followed Gu Suixing slightly behind, walking arrogantly into the Gu's Building. Under the watchful eyes of everyone, she entered the elevator, went up to the top floor, and then walked past the large floor-to-ceiling glass of the secretary's office with her head held high. Finally, she left her boss behind and turned to enter the assistant's office.
The passing employees were dumbfounded.
The secretaries in the secretariat were dumbfounded.
This outfit is way too extravagant... They don't even dress this extravagantly when they go to dinner parties or social events.
And those heels! Assistant Lu is already tall, and with these shoes on, he's probably taller than 90% of the people in the company.
Are those diamonds, bigger than a thumb, set in the earrings, necklace, brooch, and ring, real? With such a high-profile display, aren't you afraid of being robbed when you're out and about?
...Isn't Mr. Gu going to do anything about this?
Mr. Gu... why do you seem to be in a pretty good mood?
When Assistant Fang saw Lu Fengqing, she was initially taken aback, but quickly recovered and said, "Ms. Lu, Mr. Gu, good morning."
"Good morning." Gu Suixing leaned against the door, arms crossed, looking at Lu Fengqing with a leisurely air, her peach blossom eyes full of smiles.
This outfit is a bit flashy; it's fine for a formal dinner party. But I have to say, confident women are adorable.
"Good morning, Assistant Fang." After greeting her, Lu Fengqing put her bag on her desk and bent down to turn on her computer.
Assistant Fang glanced at Gu Suixing, then at Lu Fengqing, lowered her head slightly, and gently pushed up her glasses with her middle finger.
He suddenly remembered a female secretary who came to work wearing a strapless short skirt a while ago. Gu Suixing commented that it affected the company's image and ruthlessly told her to go back and change into normal clothes before coming to work.
Although Miss Lu's outfit wasn't revealing, it didn't look like she was coming to work properly... more like she was there for a fashion show.
It has to be said that whether or not it will affect the company's image depends on whether CEO Gu applies double standards.
Gu Suixing: "I have a meeting this morning, and it might not be over by noon. Go eat by yourself after work."
Lu Fengqing nodded perfunctorily, indicating that she had heard.
"Come in," Gu Suixing said, then turned and left.
This was said by the other party's assistant.
Assistant Fang immediately picked up the documents on the table and followed Gu Suixing into the president's office.
With nothing to do, Lu Fengqing decided to continue watching the drama.
Lu Fengqing found her job as the president's assistant at a listed company easy, even though it was unpaid...
At the same time, Secretary Liu, who was quick to notice and had a keen eye for detail, also dutifully reported what had just happened to Huo Yao.
Secretary Liu couldn't help but exclaim, "Assistant Lu is really bold."
Huo Yao said in a nonchalant tone, "With someone so audacious backing her up, what wouldn't she dare to do?"
Secretary Liu recalled Mr. Gu's usual way of doing things and thought it was indeed bold. She nodded in agreement and then said, "Manager Gu came to work today."
Huo Yao frowned. "So fast."
Secretary Liu was also somewhat worried.
This year, Gu's biggest project is undoubtedly the one in Xicheng District. The board of directors intends for Mr. Gu to take charge of it personally, with Manager Gu assisting him.
From a public perspective, this arrangement is not bad. However, from a private perspective, the relationship between the cousins, General Manager Gu and Manager Gu, has been strained for a long time. It's easy to imagine how tense the atmosphere will be within this project team.
If there's only the smell of gunpowder but no sparks, that's fine. But what's worrying is Mr. Gu's temper; he'll find something to cause trouble even when there's nothing wrong with him.
-
The smell of gunpowder was indeed strong.
The huge conference room was visibly divided into three factions: one was the general manager's office led by Gu Suixing, another was the newly established project supervision team led by Gu Jingdong, and the third was the Lu family employees involved in the project led by Lu Fenghe.
Gu Suixing sat in the head seat and immediately began to mock Gu Jingdong as soon as they met. "Other people who are transferred to branch offices will stay for at least a year and a half before they can come back. Manager Gu is really capable. He was transferred back to the head office in just two or three months and was given such an important task."
Gu Jingdong's expression was indifferent. "He can't compare to the abilities of young CEO Gu. He was appointed to such an important position as CEO as soon as he returned to the country."
"No problem." Gu Suixing smiled faintly. "It's nothing special, just a lucky birth, so I have a legitimate reason to be here."
Gu Jingdong's expression darkened.
Those sitting on either side of him were his confidants, and their expressions were not very pleasant upon hearing this.
Although Manager Gu's father was an illegitimate child, Manager Gu was a legitimate son. It was assumed that since they were cousins, young Manager Gu wouldn't embarrass them, but to everyone's surprise, he immediately began criticizing Manager Gu's father upon their first meeting.
While illegitimate children are common in wealthy families, they are never a pleasant thing to hear, especially since Manager Gu's grandmother's background doesn't seem to be honorable.
The conference room was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
The Lu family members, led by Lu Fenghe, sat quietly, all adopting an attitude of indifference, simply watching the show.
From Lu Fenghe's perspective, these two cousins, one an old classmate who had always been at odds with him and the other his sister's ex-boyfriend, were both people he disliked. He would rather see them fight like dogs and both get hurt than see them fight each other to the death. So he preferred to sit in the meeting room for more than ten minutes, wasting his precious time, rather than say anything to stop them.
Gu Jingdong glanced at Lu Fenghe, closed his eyes, and didn't say anything more.
If he wanted to win with words, he wasn't without a chance. Gu Suixing, this young master from a wealthy and noble family, had an impeccable background, but unfortunately, he had fallen in love with an illegitimate daughter...
However, the most important thing right now is to do this project well; there's no need to offend Gu Suixing and Lu Fenghe just for the sake of empty talk.
In the first round, Gu Suixing emerged victorious.
Gu Suixing knew what "weaknesses" he had, and didn't want to push people too far and say something he didn't want to hear, which would not only ruin his mood but also offend his future brother-in-law. In a good mood, he decided to let things slide and didn't completely ruin the relationship.
The meeting officially began.
-
When it was lunchtime, Lu Fengqing immediately went downstairs to eat.
Without Gu Suixing by her side today, and with her conspicuous attire, the gazes from all around her became even more unrestrained.
Lu Fengqing ignored those people, got her food, and found a seat to sit down.
She wasn't sure if it was just her imagination, but the area around her seemed empty. There was clearly a seat opposite her, yet people would rather walk further away to find a seat than sit across from her.
This also took into account that after those people sat down, they frequently glanced at her, chatted with the people next to them, as if afraid she wouldn't know they were talking about her.
It's a bit like the feeling of being isolated during my school days.
Lu Fengqing snorted coldly in her heart.
It's better if they don't come near her, since she doesn't want to deal with them anyway.
After eating and drinking her fill, Lu Fengqing returned to her office to continue watching her drama.
Another day passed by like that.
Just before leaving get off work in the afternoon, Lu Fengqing received an internal call from the front desk.
"Assistant Lu, a Miss Tang wants to see Mr. Gu. President Huo asked her to wait in the reception room. Please inform Mr. Gu when he comes out of his meeting later."
Lu Fengqing frowned.
That jerk went into the meeting room this morning and hasn't come out yet. The girls at the front desk probably couldn't reach Assistant Fang, so they called her.
Miss Tang...
Lu Fengqing replied with a forced smile, "Mr. Gu is still in a meeting. I'll ask him when he comes out. Let Miss Tang wait for now."
After hanging up the phone, Lu Fengqing gritted her teeth.
You scoundrel! You haven't even dealt with Miss Qin yet, and now another unwanted suitor has appeared!
