Lu Zhiwei stood there, arms crossed, looking the beggar up and down, a casual smile spreading across her bright red lips: "Brother, you were running so fast just now, you were quite a runner."
"..." The beggar looked down at his leg that had just stood up, and immediately realized he had been tricked. He quickly tried to make amends: "I, my leg is actually healed, a medical miracle!"
Shen Jinmo suddenly realized that they had been deceived.
No, to be precise, he was the only one who was deceived.
Lu Zhiwei didn't say anything more, shrugged, and left.
She has no right to interfere with whether this person continues to grovel and cheat people out of money, or stands up and chooses a bright path.
But at least, she saved that idiot Shen Jinmo several thousand yuan.
Shen Jinmo caught up with her. The two figures, of different heights, stretched out infinitely under the streetlights, but they were not close together, with a gap between them.
He tried to get a little closer, but Lu Zhiwei tactfully avoided him.
"No wonder you were once a beggar; you seem quite experienced in your field." Shen Jingmo finally managed to utter this sentence after a long pause.
"If you don't know how to say thank you, then shut up," Lu Zhiwei snapped at him.
Shen Jinmo pursed his thin lips, his face, which was just about to brighten, suddenly darkened.
"Thank you." Lu Zhiwei suddenly changed the subject, her bright face beaming with a radiant smile, her large, bright, crescent-shaped eyes sparkling.
Shen Jinmo felt as if his heart had been struck hard, and ripples spread across his calm lake: "Thank me for what?"
"I'll teach you how to say thank you. Didn't you say you couldn't say it?" Lu Zhiwei smiled slyly and continued walking towards the car.
Actually, she really wanted to thank him.
She thanked him for the box of paintbrushes he had left in the bowl, which saved her and her mother's lives.
This allowed her to discover her special skill, which led her to become the Lu Zhiwei we know today.
She believes in fate.
So when he was being chased, it was fate that she was able to save him.
She owes him.
It must be paid back!
Shen Jinmo stared at her retreating figure, mimicking the words she had just pronounced, but after opening his mouth for a long time, he couldn't say them out.
This word is very awkward to pronounce and doesn't seem to suit him at all.
——
The next morning, Lu Zhiwei was still fast asleep when the urgent ringing of the telephone woke her up.
With sleepy eyes slightly open, I reached for my phone on the bedside table, answered the call, and put it to my ear.
"Vice President Lu, something's happened. This morning, Jiang Hao suddenly posted a Weibo on the official Weibo account of the cheongsam design department, sending out all the design drafts of the new products that will be launched this month. Moreover, he has modified all the design drafts, adding some floral elements to the waist of the cheongsam."
"The new jewelry products that Shen's Group is about to launch this month use this element. They even teased it before. Now the comments section is flooded with accusations that our Lu Group plagiarized the element. Assistant Lin from Shen's Group has already brought a lawyer over to demand an explanation..." The anxious voice of Assistant An Yang came from the other end of the phone.
This bombshell completely woke Lu Zhiwei up. She rubbed her temples, forcing herself to calm down: "Jiang Hao didn't come to the company to resign yesterday? Why is the account still in his possession?"
"He was detained by the police station until midnight last night. As soon as he was released, I told him to come to the company early this morning to hand over the paperwork. We will not reduce his severance pay by a penny. He verbally agreed to do so, but who knew he would cause us such a big problem this morning."
"Keep the people at Shen's Group calm and tell them not to add fuel to the fire at this critical moment. We'll talk when I get to the company." Lu Zhiwei hung up the phone, quickly got out of bed, changed her clothes, washed up, and went downstairs.
Downstairs, the maid had just prepared breakfast, and Lu Yunsheng, Zhao Xiuying, and Lu Jingyao were already seated, waiting for her to have breakfast.
She hurried downstairs.
Lu Yunsheng had already received a call from the company and seen the news, knowing that this matter would have a significant impact on the Lu Group.
But he didn't mention it at all. When he saw Lu Zhiwei, he still smiled warmly and called out to her, "Weiwei, good morning, come and have breakfast."
"I'm not eating, you guys eat." Lu Zhiwei changed her shoes in the entryway, grabbed her car keys, and was about to leave.
Lu Jingyao put down her cutlery and raised her voice: "I don't know why my little sister is so stubborn and wants to be the vice president of the company. She has neither studied design nor business administration. A few days ago, she fired all the employees in the cheongsam design department on a whim. Now she has suffered the backlash. The reputation of the entire Lu Group has been affected by her."
Before Lu Zhiwei had even stepped out the door, she could hear Lu Jingyao kicking her while she was down.
She remained calm and composed, turning her bright face to look down at Lu Jingyao with a slight smile, her red lips curving into a captivating beauty.
“I may not be very educated, but I know the saying that good fortune may be a harbinger of misfortune, and misfortune may be a harbinger of good fortune. How can you be so sure that I can’t turn danger into safety? How can a flower like my sister, who is raised in a greenhouse all day long, enjoy the thrill of fighting in the storm outside?”
Lu Zhiwei lowered her lips, walked straight out of the villa gate, and drove away.
Her calm, aloof, and domineering aura left Lu Yunsheng, who was present, deeply moved.
Su Wan was once like that, delicate on the outside but strong on the inside. It is evident that even in such a harsh environment abroad, she still managed to raise Lu Zhiwei very well.
Lu Jingyao was once again subjected to a sharp rebuke, and she channeled her grief and anger into her appetite, just as she picked up a croissant to stuff into her mouth.
Lu Yunsheng glared at her angrily: "You still have the appetite to eat? Why aren't you going to find a job?"
With tears welling up in her eyes, Lu Jingyao slowly put down the bread: "I can just ask for any position at the company."
Lu Yun was furious: "Can't you be a little more capable?"
Seeing her daughter being constantly scolded, Zhao Xiuying stepped forward and said, "Lu Yunsheng, can you please stop scolding Yaoyao? Look how many times you've scolded her since Weiwei came back?"
Lu Yunsheng then turned his anger on Zhao Xiuying, looking at her well-maintained face, which was the result of his hard-earned money: "There was no harm in comparison back then, but you should go and reflect on yourself. I hired the best etiquette and piano teachers for her from a young age, and I spent so much money to raise her. Look at the trash you've raised!"
Zhao Xiuying and Lu Jingyao were so scolded that they didn't dare to raise their heads.
At this moment, the desire to kill Lu Zhiwei had reached its peak.
...
Lu Zhiwei rushed to the company.
An Yang, clutching the documents, hurried after Lu Zhiwei. "Vice President Lu, I've already received the people from Shen's Group in the meeting room. Let's go over now. I have two emergency response plans that the public relations department rushed out. Would you like to take a look?"
"Let's go inside and talk." Lu Zhiwei tidied her short, neat hair and pushed open the door.
On the black leather sofa sat a man with an aloof and noble air, short black hair, a straight back, and an aura of unique prestige.
Standing next to him were Lin Jing, dressed in a suit and tie, and the lawyer representative from the Shen Group.
