Chapter 89 What exactly is Lu Rang's background?
After much deliberation, Shang Wu called Tang Xueli.
Tang Xueli was still working overtime at the company, and as soon as she received the call, she couldn't wait to complain.
"Ah Wu, tell me! How do you manage to run Chengzhou and the branch all by yourself? Help me! I'm being driven crazy by these shareholders!"
Upon hearing this, Shang Wu smiled slightly: "Chengzhou's business has stabilized, and the branch is also promoting the new product. I'm not as busy as you think. But what trouble have you encountered?"
"He's just the son of a shareholder, that good-for-nothing, scheming rich kid Liu Ziye! He insists on coming to work for the company, asking for a managerial position right away. Does he deserve it?"
After Tang Xueli finished speaking, she was so angry that her breathing became rapid.
Shang Wu listened quietly and said softly, "That's easy. Let's bring him in first, let him make a mistake and lose some money. When the shareholders feel the pain of losing money, they will naturally not dare to let his son cause trouble again."
Upon hearing this, Tang Xueli took a deep breath: "Awu!"
This shout was full of energy, as if he wanted to settle accounts with Shang Wu.
Shang Wu was startled: "What's wrong? You don't think it's okay?"
"No, I meant to say you're amazing! How come I didn't think of that? You really helped me a lot!"
Tang Shirley became excited, and her tone was no longer so distraught.
Shang Wu's eyes flickered, and he coughed lightly: "Shirley, can I ask you something?"
Tang Shirley chuckled: "Don't be so polite. Even if you wanted my company secrets, I would give them to you. We're practically family."
"No, no, no, it's not that exaggerated." Shang Wu bit her lip, her tone becoming hesitant, "...Has your family introduced you to any potential partners?"
Tang Xueli was taken aback for a moment, "Of course, they're urging me to marry into those rich second-generation families who run businesses. People from families like ours all have to take the path of arranged marriage."
"So, are there any people you're in contact with?"
Shang Wu unconsciously gripped her phone tighter.
She felt like she was crazy to make that call to ask about this.
Tang Xueli laughed: "I'm meeting a lot of people. Yesterday, my dad told me that a rich second-generation has taken a liking to me and wants to have dinner with me in a while."
Shang Wu's heart sank heavily: "Which family's?"
Tang Xueli didn't care: "I don't know, I forgot. Oh, it's not important. When are you free? I'll treat you to a nice meal."
Shang Wu: "...I'll do it another day when I have time."
She hung up the phone, lost in thought with a complicated expression.
Could it be that Lu Rang's chosen marriage partner is actually Tang Xueli?
And what about her?
If they were going to leave sooner or later, why bother clarifying the ambiguous feelings between them?
Shang Wu didn't sleep well all night.
...
The next day.
Ah Ying called early in the morning.
“Some time ago, when Mr. Zhou wasn’t going to see Chen Mian, she often went to a bar and hung out in room number 23.”
Shang Wu raised an eyebrow, got up and went to the dressing room to pick out clothes: "The designated private room?"
Aying said, "Yes, I checked. The person who rented that private room is called Liu Ziye. He's a rich young man who often organizes these kinds of gatherings."
The wardrobe opened with a whoosh.
Shang Wu immediately noticed the men's overcoat that she had washed, ironed, and hung neatly in the corner.
Lu Rang's.
Her eyes darkened slightly as she looked away: "Liu Ziye, that name sounds familiar."
etc……
Isn't that a coincidence?
The shareholder's son who gave Tang Xueli a major headache last night was Liu Ziye.
Shang Wu curled her red lips and said in a mysterious tone, "Aying, you did a great job. Thank you for helping me a lot."
"ah?"
Aying was a little stunned after being praised.
"Take care of the company matters for me first. The meeting will be moved to 3 p.m.
Shang Wu hung up the phone and hurriedly left, taking with her a bottle of fine red wine.
She arrived at the Tang Group, gave her name, and was led to the president's office by the receptionist.
An hour later, Shang Wu came out of Tang Xueli's office.
"No need to send him. After the matter is settled, have the shareholder send his son to me."
Tang Xueli nodded, curiously asking, "Do you know this Liu Ziye? Why did you specifically ask him to go to Chengzhou Group?"
Shang Wu winked at her: "It will be very useful, keep it a secret."
When she returned to the company from Tang's, several documents were already on her desk, waiting for her to sign.
Ah Ying laughed and said, "When Lu Lu came to the company, he asked where you had been and said that your voice sounded a little nasal yesterday, so he brought you some cold medicine."
She couldn't help but tease, "So, Lu Lu has this caring side to him too?"
Shang Wu took off her coat and glanced at her: "Did you tell him where I went?"
Aying was taken aback; she hadn't expected her to focus on this.
She said cautiously, "I said you went to the Tang Group, is this supposed to be a secret? I'm sorry, President Shang..."
Shang Wu sighed when she saw the cold medicine on the table.
The fact that the business case has attracted the attention of several top-level leaders of the Inspectorate and is being prepared for a retrial is a fantastic development.
But she wasn't as happy as she had imagined.
In order to overturn the verdict, she wasn't indifferent to everything.
Lu Rang gave up his legal career for her and even went back to marry her.
She didn't even know which family Lu Rang was from.
Will she only find out Lu Rang's true identity when Tang Xueli invites her to her wedding...?
Shang Wu felt an indescribable sense of loss.
Just then, there was another knock on the door.
Aying asked in confusion, "Who are you?"
Shang Wu turned around and saw a slick-looking young master dressed in trendy brands. She composed herself.
Don't think about these things now; there are more important things to do.
She gave Ah Ying a wink.
Ah Ying immediately lowered her head and left.
As she brushed past Liu Ziye, he deliberately blocked her with his shoulder.
Aying quickly backed away: "What are you doing?"
Liu Ziye looked her up and down and whistled.
"Nice figure."
Aying's expression instantly turned aggrieved and angry, but because she didn't know who the other person was, she didn't dare to offend them. Helplessly, she twisted her fingers and looked at Shang Wu.
Shang Wu glared at Liu Ziye: "Your dad sent you, an idiot, here to train under me, not to flirt with my secretary. Apologize and then get back in!"
Liu Ziye was dumbfounded by her reprimand. He had never seen a woman with such a strong aura before and was momentarily stunned.
"Yes, I'm sorry..."
Ah Ying ignored her, gave a soft snort, and took the opportunity to run away.
Shang Wu narrowed her eyes: "What are you standing there for? Close the door and come over."
Liu Ziye obediently closed the door and walked up to her.
Shang Wu circled around him, as if examining a piece of pork hanging on an iron hook, assessing its price and freshness.
As she scrutinized him, Liu Ziye flashed what he thought was a very handsome smile: "President Shang, how's my physique?"
Shang Wu smiled and patted his shoulder: "Indeed, she's quite good. No wonder she was able to hook up with Zhou Yanci."
Liu Ziye's smile vanished instantly: "What?"
"The child sleeping in your belly, is it yours?" Shang Wu turned around and sat down at her desk.
Liu Ziye was shocked: "What nonsense are you talking about! How could the sleeping child be mine! That child belongs to Zhou Yanci!"
"Really?" Shang Wu smiled enigmatically. "Well then, there's high technology available now that allows for genetic testing while the baby is still in the womb. How about we go and find out who the father is?"
Liu Ziye's legs went weak, and he immediately begged for mercy: "President Shang, can you please not tell Zhou Yanci about this? I, I really didn't mean to get her pregnant. I didn't even know she was Zhou Yanci's woman, I..."
Shang Wu raised her hand, interrupting his explanation.
She crossed her arms and leaned back in her chair.
"Now is not the time to explain. Get ready. I'll take you out to dinner tonight, and you'll only have one task then."
Liu Ziye's breath hitched, a bad feeling creeping over him: "What mission?"
Shang Wu beckoned to him.
The two were talking when there was a knock on the office door.
Shang Wu called out, "Come in."
Lu Rang pushed open the door and entered, his eyes darkening.
No one is allowed to approach the inside of Shang Wu's desk without permission, but the man pulled up a chair, sat down at the desk, and looked at Shang Wu with his chin in his hand.
Shang Wu glanced at Lu Rang, then looked at Liu Ziye: "Understood?"
"Understood, I will definitely do as you say," Liu Ziye replied obediently.
Shang Wu nodded: "Go out."
Liu Ziye stood up and asked, seemingly oblivious to everyone else, "So, tonight, should I ride in your car, or should I pick you up and we go together?"
Shang Wu narrowed her eyes slightly: "Is there a difference?"
"I just got a sports car, haven't driven it yet, let me take you for a spin." Liu Ziye started to show his frivolous nature again, winking at her.
Shang Wu looked at him, wanting to slap him across the face.
He's still thinking about flirting with women.
No wonder Zhou Yanci's white moonlight gets provoked.
That's incredibly audacious.
She impatiently urged, "Fine, bring your sports car over and get out."
Liu Ziye walked away with a grin.
Lu Rang pursed his thin lips, watched the person leave, and then closed the door.
Who was that person just now?
Shang Wu gave him a deep look: "I happen to have a contract to sign. The person will be here this afternoon. Can you help me check if there are any legal loopholes?"
She handed the documents over.
Lu Rang approached, his hand reaching past the documents to grasp her slender wrist, pressing, "Who exactly is he? Is there anything I can't know?"
Shang Wu met his dark eyes, pursed her lips, and said slowly and deliberately, "He is the son of a shareholder of the Tang Group. He is the person I asked Tang Xueli to send."
Lu Rang frowned slightly: "Is he useful to you?"
Seeing that he showed no change in expression, Shang Wu was puzzled.
Why didn't I react when I heard Tang Xueli's name?
Shang Wu pulled her hand away from his: "It's for dealing with slumber."
Lu Rang withdrew his hand: "What's wrong with you?"
"Nothing much," Shang Wu denied instinctively.
Lu Rang looked at her: "I told you, don't lie to me."
Shang Wu paused for a moment: "Okay, actually someone made me angry today. Her name is Su Tingting. Do you know her?"
Lu Rang still didn't react. After thinking for a moment, he said, "I've heard of him. Isn't he the one who mocked you at the party before?"
Shang Wu: "..."
Is it that Lu Rang is too good at hiding his emotions, or is it that his marriage partner is not one of these two?
She bit her lip and gave a perfunctory reply: "Oh right, I've always disliked her. I get upset whenever she's around."
Lu Rang stared at her, seemingly trying to gauge the credibility of her words.
"Never want to see her again?"
Shang Wu chimed in, "Yes, I never want to again."
Lu Rang thought for a moment and said, "I understand. You can go ahead with your work."
He turned and left.
Shang Wu then looked up, staring thoughtfully at his back.
In the afternoon, she took Aying and Xiao Dong to a meeting to sign a contract.
I was busy until six o'clock when Tang Xueli called.
"How is Liu Ziye doing with you? Has he caused any trouble?"
Shang Wu rubbed her sore neck and smiled, "No, I didn't expect you to care about him so much."
Tang Shirley said, "I was afraid he would cause you trouble, and by the way, I'll tell you a shocking piece of gossip that I'm sure you'll be interested in."
Shang Wu held her phone to her ear with her left hand, while unconsciously gripping her pen with her right: "What's going on?"
"I don't know what Su Tingting did wrong, but her dad sent her abroad to retake the CFA exam. It's hilarious! She graduated from university several years ago and still hasn't passed the exam!"
Tang Shirley gloated on the phone.
Shang Wu's hand froze, and the pen rolled off the corner of the table and onto the floor.
No way...
She had just told Lu Rang that morning that she never wanted to see Su Tingting again.
Who exactly is Lu Rang that even Su Tingting's father has to give him face and send his beloved daughter away?
