"You want me to serve you for half a month?"
"Is that not allowed?" Lu Zhiwei asked Liu Changqing with a smile.
“It’s fine, but I can’t just serve you for nothing. These old cases all depend on you.” Liu Changqing piled a thick stack of case files in front of Lu Zhiwei.
Lu Zhiwei's smile vanished abruptly.
"...Aren't you afraid of divine retribution for treating a pregnant woman like this?"
"Solving the case and saving lives is a great deed. I'll have my superiors send you a few banners of appreciation later." Liu Changqing pulled up a chair and sat down next to Lu Zhiwei.
A top talent like Lu Zhiwei is usually impossible to hire, but now she's willing to work for the police station for free for half a month. Why wouldn't he be happy to do so?
The news that Lu Zhiwei had been arrested on suspicion of premeditated murder of her stepmother quickly reached Shen Jinmo's ears.
That very night, Shen Jinmo drove to the police station, demanding to see Lu Zhiwei.
Lu Zhiwei was engrossed in helping Liu Changqing with a case at her desk.
"Your ex-husband wants to see you, probably to get you out of here. Are you going to see him?" Liu Changqing told her to stop what she was doing.
“I won’t see anyone for the next two weeks.” Lu Zhiwei refused decisively.
Not long after, Liu Changqing came running over and asked him, "A man named Zhou Yan, who is extremely ugly, is looking for you. Are you going to see him?"
Lu Zhiwei hesitated for a moment when she heard Zhou Yan's name.
Ruan Jizhou must have heard about what happened to the Lu family and was worried that she had really been arrested.
If he doesn't see her, he won't be able to go back to filming with peace of mind.
"Let him come." Lu Zhiwei sat back down in her office chair.
"Didn't you say you wouldn't see anyone? This Zhou Yan seems to be treating you quite specially." Liu Changqing looked at Lu Zhiwei with a grin, as if he were watching a melon.
"You can leave now," Lu Zhiwei told Liu Changqing, signaling him to leave.
"This is my office, so watch your step. Don't do anything like that in my office. There are cameras everywhere. Unless you want to keep a record," Liu Changqing reminded her before leaving.
Not long after, Zhou Yan walked into the office carrying a food box from Shiweitian.
Upon entering the office, he saw Lu Zhiwei sitting unharmed in Liu Changqing's seat, relaxed and at ease.
The worry on his face vanished.
"I thought you were in jail. I'm so glad to see you're alright." Zhou Yan's heart finally settled down, and a smile appeared on his tense face.
"So you brought this for your prison visit?" Lu Zhiwei took the lunchbox.
"Cough cough... I shouldn't have worried about you. You seem to be able to handle everything on your own." Zhou Yan smiled and shook his head.
This wasn't the first time he had met Lu Zhiwei.
She was much stronger than he had imagined.
Lu Zhiwei opened the food box lid.
The fragrant lemon chicken feet whetted Lu Zhiwei's appetite: "The food in the police station canteen is hard to swallow. You really know what I like to eat."
"Then take your time eating." Zhou Yan laid out the tableware and wiped it clean for her.
Lu Zhiwei wolfed down her food: "Why don't you ask me why I got myself arrested?"
“You have your reasons, and I won’t pry. I will always believe in you.” Zhou Yan gazed at her affectionately.
Such unwavering belief is rare and precious.
Lu Zhiwei's hand holding the chopsticks stiffened for a moment, and the corners of her mouth turned up slightly.
——
Half a month has passed in the blink of an eye.
The Lu Group held its annual president election meeting.
The president position is elected every year. Lu Yunsheng holds 60% of the group's shares, with the remainder distributed among various shareholders. The annual election is just a formality, and regardless of whether the shareholders have any objections, Lu Yunsheng remains firmly in the position of president, unshakeable by anyone.
The top-floor conference room of the Lu Group building was filled with shareholders and senior executives.
Lu Yunsheng, dressed in a dark brown suit, sat in the main seat.
Lu Jingyao, who was standing to the side in a white business suit, leaned close to his ear and whispered a reminder.
"Dad, you promised me, you must give me the position of vice president of Lu's Group today."
"I know, you'll get your share." Lu Yunsheng raised an eyebrow.
The meeting is about to begin.
An Yang is only the deputy general manager's assistant and cannot attend such high-level meetings.
She was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, pacing back and forth in the corridor outside the meeting room.
Lu Zhiwei has been arrested for half a month, and the police station has shown no intention of releasing her. She has been away from her post for half a month, and the position of Vice President Lu cannot be left vacant. It is likely that she will be replaced today.
At this moment, Lu Yunsheng's assistant led a young man in a black suit past An Yang.
An Yang recognized Jiang Zhan at a glance; it was said that he was Lu Yunsheng's illegitimate son.
"Congratulations! You're going to rise to the top by stepping on my sister Wei's shoulders? How come my sister Wei saved you, you ungrateful wretch?" Although An Yang's position wasn't high, she just couldn't swallow this insult.
Even if Jiang Zhan dismisses her after taking over, she will still speak out for Lu Zhiwei.
Jiang Zhan felt much better after being scolded by An Yang.
He raised his thin lips and smiled: "Well said, I also think I'm an ingrate."
His sister was still in prison, but Lu Yunsheng came to arrange for him to get a job.
This enormous Lu Group was practically within his grasp.
But what good is it if you get it?
He will not be happy.
He would rather be just a small designer, following behind Lu Zhiwei and relying on her brilliance.
"The meeting is about to begin, let's go in." The assistant led Jiang Zhan into the meeting room.
As soon as the young and handsome Jiang Zhan stepped into the conference room, a murmur of discussion arose within the room.
Upon seeing Jiang Zhan's appearance, everyone immediately held a meeting.
