Chapter 29 The host likes straight balls
"Would it be convenient for us to go to a quiet place to talk in detail?" Lu Li politely invited Ji Shian. Yun Yuan beside him recovered his strength after a fight and was full of smiles.
Ji Shian looked around and saw many curious eyes looking at him in twos and threes. He nodded happily.
It would be better to change the place, otherwise the headline of the news the next day would be "Ms. Yun insulted President Lu in public, and Chairman Cheng Yue was suspected to be behind the incident."
Ji Shian sighed inwardly, thinking that the "Worker" skin was quite useful in critical moments. After all, the hype of a special assistant couldn't compare to the massive influence of the group's leader. With this thought, he silently took a few steps away from Qin Yinghuai.
Qin Yinghuai:?
After careful consideration, Lu Li took Qin Yinghuai and Ji Shian directly to the reception room on the top floor of Lu Group.
It was late at night, and no one was working overtime. There were only five of them in the entire building.
Yun Yuan was hesitant to speak all the way, and finally couldn't help but said: "Why can't we chat in the hotel?" Instead, she had to drive 30 minutes back to the company.
Lu Li patiently explained to Yun Yuan, "There are a lot of people there, and it would be bad if someone with ulterior motives heard what we were talking about."
Yun Yuan: "But I just shot you outside..." She felt a little guilty, thinking that she was too impulsive and that any problems should be resolved privately.
Seeing that the little sun was about to go out again, Ji Shian hurriedly comforted him: "How many people can keep calm after knowing that they are being cuckolded?" When encountering problems, don't blame yourself first, at least blame the people around you and then reflect on yourself.
Yun Yuan nodded, "That's right." She was very considerate and didn't come to the Lu Group in broad daylight to stir up trouble. "I have a very high level of character."
"Of course not." Ji Shi'an nodded in satisfaction, calmly saying, "But Mr. Lu has always been meticulous and thorough. Zheng Xiaoxiao's case is a little special, so careful arrangements will prevent any mistakes."
Yun Yuan sighed, "He's been like this since he was little. He'd rehearse it eight or ten times in his mind before doing anything, fearing that something might go wrong. You don't even know that one time he skipped class..."
Lu Li tensed up a little when he heard that. He coughed twice to try to interrupt Yun Yuan from sharing his dark history.
Ji Shian exclaimed, "Wow, childhood sweethearts, no wonder your bond is so strong."
Lu Li's temper melted instantly, and his favorable impression of Ji Tezhu, which had been zero, increased slightly. He turned his head to look at Yun Yuan's expression. Yun Yuan scratched his head but did not refute, and his cheeks flushed slightly.
Lu Li expressed his gratitude to Ji Shi'an with a look of kindness. Ji Shi'an smiled politely but felt disgusted in his heart.
He liked her but didn't say it openly. He chased girls by making them guess what they were thinking, yet he acted like he was deeply in love. If it weren't for the desire to gain some favor and get more information about Zheng Xiaoxiao, she wouldn't have bothered to get involved.
Ji Shian shook her head. If Qin Yinghuai dared to do this to her, she would definitely smash his head on the spot. There were so many intrigues at work. If you don't express your feelings more directly and simply, life will be so painful.
The system reported to Qin Yinghuai: [The host likes to be straightforward.]
Ji Shian was unhappy: "How much benefit did Qin Yinghuai give you to let you tip off?"
The system chuckled: [Ten snack gift packs asking me to remind the host to ask for help when they encounter difficulties. No other requests.] But it is grateful for what it has received, and besides...
The host deliberately complained in his heart, thinking that it could be used as a mouthpiece. [All are understanding.jpg]
Ji Shian clicked his tongue and followed Yun Yuan to sit on the sofa in the reception room.
Lu Li's face was cold and he was thinking about how to start. Ji Shian made a gesture to Qin Yinghuai while standing up to pour water.
Ji Shian: Urge him to get straight to the point, he's so annoying from dithering.
Normally, she didn't mind arguing with others. After all, in the business world, every concession could be a step back to advance. Ji Shian glanced at her watch; she didn't want to work too much overtime outside of work hours.
Qin Yinghuai received the signal and took the lead: "Mr. Lu, please speak frankly. It's getting late."
Lu Li thought for two seconds and looked at Ji Shian: "Assistant Ji has met Zheng Xiaoxiao."
Ji Shian smiled: "Unfortunately, we've met once."
Lu Li: "Can I know under what circumstances you saw him?"
Ji Shian, who hadn't wanted to argue just a second ago, habitually raised the corner of his mouth and kicked the ball back: "Where did you meet Mr. Lu by chance?"
Qin Yinghuai's eyes darkened slightly as he spoke at the right moment: "We are not the ones who need help."
Lu Li pursed his lips and said nothing. Yun Yuan looked at this and that, extremely anxious. She slapped Lu Li on the back of the head and knew what he was thinking at a glance: "Shi An and I are close friends. I don't think Director Qin is a bad person. If you have something to say, please tell me quickly. Don't delay him from going home to rest."
Lu Li: "...Yeah."
Tao Jin stood aside and wished he could push himself into a corner. How could he have the honor to see his boss being suppressed into being so obedient?
Seeing Qin Yinghuai blush, Ji Shian softened his attitude and gave Lu Li a way out: "Actually, there's nothing to hide from you. The reason I paid attention to Zheng Xiaoxiao was because someone asked me to."
She looked at Lu Li calmly, trying to figure out if he knew anything about Zheng Xiaoxiao and Zhou Xingzhi. Although the Zhou family had quickly blocked the news, there was no guarantee Lu Li might have other tricks up his sleeve.
Lu Li looked at Qin Yinghuai: "It seems that woman has also set her sights on Director Qin."
That is, I don’t know.
Ji Shian looked a little surprised, then smiled. "That's not the case. A senior student who once did me a favor called me during the Chinese New Year and asked me to help investigate. She's Zheng Xiaoxiao's doctoral advisor, and she felt that Zheng Xiaoxiao had been acting strangely recently, and she was worried that she had encountered some unsolvable difficulties."
She glanced at Qin Yinghuai with a smile, her words unconcealed in her intimacy: "Of course I had to report to the boss when I was investigating someone. I didn't expect that what I found would make people feel... well, strange and fantastical."
The higher the power and status, the more taboo one tends to have about such matters. Ji Shian briefly described Zheng Xiaoxiao's more prominent abnormal behavior, observing Lu Li's expression with a subtle gaze.
"I didn't want her to get involved anymore," Qin Yinghuai said, his face looking unhappy. He seemed very embarrassed but he couldn't do anything about Ji Shian. He even spoke to Lu Li with a hint of dissatisfaction: "So, President Lu, just reveal something that will allow her to report to that doctoral supervisor."
Ji Shian was not very happy: "Senior sister is very nice to me."
Qin Yinghuai refused to retreat or give in: "It's too dangerous."
Lu Li didn't say anything, but he didn't show any surprise. It was obvious that he also agreed with the label "dangerous".
Seeing that the two were about to quarrel, Yun Yuan quickly tugged at the man's clothes to silently urge him on. Lu Li pondered and said, "I actually met her on a rainy night."
Late at night, a dark Maybach was speeding in the rain, and the driver slowed down when passing a muddy road.
While passing an intersection, a slender figure stumbled into the middle of the road.
The sound of sudden brakes was drowned out by the rain. The driver suppressed his frantic heartbeat and hurriedly got out of the car to check the situation. Fortunately, the person had just fainted and was not crushed or hit.
Lu Li immediately ordered someone to change direction and take the woman to the hospital. After the emergency room, the doctor regretfully told him that the woman had hit her head and had temporarily lost her memory. She only knew her age and name, nothing else.
There is no other way but to keep her by my side and give her a simple job to make a living.
The atmosphere in the room was strange. Lu Li drank his water in silence. Yun Yuan looked perturbed. Tao Jin was sweating profusely. Ji Shi'an seemed to be hesitant to speak, and Qin Yinghuai was speechless.
Yun Yuan asked: "Why don't you call the police?" Isn't this a scam?
Lu Li gritted his teeth: "This is why I think there is something wrong with that person."
On such a remote road on a rainy night, he rushed in front of a car with the dashcam on. However, he didn't think of calling the police. After seeing the woman's face clearly, he felt an inexplicable sense of pity in his heart.
Although he reacted quickly, every time he wanted to quit or call the police, he would inexplicably soften his heart. How could he tell Yun Yuan this?
Lu Li was so depressed that he was shaking with anger. Yun Yuan reached out and touched his hair: "Don't be afraid, Ah Li, if you have any problems, tell us and we will solve them together."
Lu Li then looked up at her: "Sister, do you believe me?"
Yun Yuan sighed, looking at her brother, who was a few months younger than her and had been fostered in her home for a period of time when he was young, with mixed emotions: "We are a family, and the thing that family members lack the most is trust."
Lu Li's eyes turned red, and in Yun Yuan's rare gentle gaze, he gritted his teeth and told her about his tortuous and abrupt emotional changes.
Yun Yuan hesitated: "What if you fall in love at first sight?"
"Impossible!" Lu Li denied flatly, "Sister knows that I have someone I like."
Yun Yuan stopped talking and lowered his head silently, thinking about something.
Ji Shian was dipping his toes on the ground in embarrassment.
Help! She hasn't watched a melodramatic romance drama for a long time. After all, after working with Qin Yinghuai for a few years, she has long been disenchanted with the domineering CEO. Seeing his bloodshot eyes and the forced kiss against the wall, she wanted to call the police.
Now I am suddenly immersed in the viewing experience, and I just want to reward a pair of eyes that have never seen it.
She looked at Qin Yinghuai for help. Although he appeared calm, Ji Shian could tell at a glance that he was also a little uneasy.
The two looked at each other silently, speechless for a moment.
Tao Jin couldn't help but speak well of Lu Li: "Ms. Yun, Mr. Lu really cares about you. In fact, your marriage with Mr. Lu..."
"Shut up." Lu Li interrupted Tao Jin, his eyes fixed on Yun Yuan.
Ji Shian couldn't stand these two turtles anymore and wanted to give them the ability to read their minds. You don't like to talk, right? Then don't speak from now on, just communicate from your heart.
She grabbed Qin Yinghuai's hand and shook it, her eyes threatening: Quick, quick, solve, solve, solve. She was quitting.
Qin Yinghuai's heart skipped a beat when he felt a soft and warm touch on his hand. He was about to interrupt the two people opposite him who were performing as if no one was around, but the system got there first.
[Host, calm down. These two turtles are also the protagonists.]
Ji Shian was stunned: "A melodramatic and abusive story?"
[No,] The system patted Ranchen's book in front of it and said confidently: [The story of the redemption of the little sun and the big villain.]
Ji Shian: "Very good, I don't want to read novels anymore in my life."
