Chapter 26 So-called Delicate Nature
Lu Xiwen ultimately did not attend Fang Xiao's welcoming banquet. He felt that if a banquet was held for such a short distance from Haicheng to Hongdu, similar incidents would likely continue endlessly. He couldn't encourage such unhealthy practices. Besides, his rest time was precious and shouldn't be wasted.
Pei Wu accompanied him for two days, and on Monday, he and Lu Xiwen drove their own cars to work.
They stopped one after the other and took the private elevator. When they reached the first floor, Pei Wu saw through a whole wall of transparent glass that a middle-aged man was having a conflict with a security guard in the lobby. They argued for a long time with red faces, and finally picked up the cardboard box that had been thrown on the ground and left in a sorry state.
Pei Wu felt the man looked familiar, and after thinking for a moment, she remembered that he was Ji Bin's uncle.
Lu Xiwen also saw this scene, his expression calm, but his eyes were cold.
When they reached the tenth floor, Lu Xiwen pressed pause and told Pei Wu to go up first, while he went to the technical service department himself.
Pei Wu could tell from his expression that he had gone to "hunt down" him, and sighed inwardly.
Upon arriving at the office floor, Pei Wu went to the break room to brew coffee. Just as she was about to go to her workstation, she almost bumped into Lan Zhe when she opened the door.
Lan Zhe looked down at his phone, noticed someone ahead of him had stopped, and said, "Good morning, Mr. Lu."
Pei Wu: "?"
Lan Zhe sensed something during the brief silence, and when he looked up, he was dumbfounded.
Pei Wu saw Lan Zhe's originally calm eyes suddenly surge with turmoil, only to be suppressed by an even stronger emotion. He then glanced behind Pei Wu, and after confirming that it was safe, he hesitated to speak.
"What's wrong?" Pei Wu asked, actually wanting to know why Lan Zhe would mistake someone for someone else; it was strange.
Lan Zhe understood Pei Wu's meaning, but thought to himself, "How can you blame me? Pei Assistant, you're covered in President Lu's pheromones!"
Of course, it would be difficult for an Alpha to detect unless they showed aggression and received a warning from the pheromone barrier. However, Lan Zhe had worked with Lu Xiwen for many years and was too familiar with him. When the crisp scent hit him just now, he subconsciously thought it was Lu Xiwen.
Lu Zong didn't even try to hide it. Lan Zhe even sensed a hint of provocation in the pheromones. The "possessiveness" he had talked about with Pei Wu before was the literal meaning, but Lan Zhe was now going to change it.
Assistant Lan was filled with mixed feelings, unsure where to begin pondering the matter. When did this happen? Could such a consequence result from excessive possessiveness? He looked at the tall and upright Pei Zhu, meeting the other's handsome and gentle features, and thought to himself, no, President Lu is simply lusting after Pei Zhu himself!
But you can't say it outright; you have to pretend you don't know.
In just a few seconds, Lan Zhe's emotions were like a rollercoaster. The peak was the excitement of discovering his boss's feelings, and the bottom was the boss's helplessness at being oblivious to his own feelings. But at least he was on the front line of the gossip. At the same time, Lan Zhe looked to the future and was looking forward to how President Lu would perform. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but want to laugh.
Pei Zhu looked at Lan Zhe's face, which was a complete mess. "What's wrong?"
Lan Zhe remained silent, patted Pei Wu's shoulder heavily, and went out.
Pei Wu: "..."
At Monday morning meeting, Assistant Lan was unusually excited. His speaking speed was still cold and sharp, but his momentum was somewhat aggressive, as if he wanted to grab the other person by the collar and question them. However, at the last moment, he deflated in a state of "I am the only one who is sober in a drunken crowd".
Has Lan Zhe finally become irritable with this world? Lu Xiwen wondered.
Lunch was to be eaten at the cafeteria. Lu Xi heard that he wasn't going to eat, and Pei Wu thought he was being too picky. She was thinking of making him a cup of white fungus soup when she got back, and her fingers were scrolling through the work group when a phone call suddenly came in.
The number was unfamiliar; it might be a business partner. Pei Wu answered without hesitation.
"Hello, this is Chang Rong Pei Wu."
After a few seconds of silence, an unfamiliar male voice said, "Pei Wu, it's me."
Pei Wu is quite sensitive to voices, but at this moment he really couldn't remember who the other person was, so he softened his tone and asked, "Which company do you work for?"
The person opposite him took a shallow breath, seemingly dissatisfied that Pei Wu hadn't recognized him, and then said, "I am Kang Bo."
Pei Wu frowned subconsciously: "Kang Bo from S University?"
"right!"
Pei Wu hung up the phone immediately and promptly added the other party to her blacklist.
Kang Bo, Su Chen's roommate and lackey, Pei Wu never felt that brothers and friends needed to be so humble. Of course, Kang Bo also took advantage of Su Chen's influence for a while. Kang Bo came from a middle-class family and was far from being able to cooperate with Chang Rong, so he was not afraid of offending him.
Pei Wu didn't take this little disturbance to heart and threw herself back into her busy work in the afternoon.
It snowed almost every day for the next two weeks, and twice it almost blocked Pei Wu's way home. Today was no exception; Pei Wu was stuck on the high bridge and was a full hour late.
When he pushed the door open, the snow on his shoulders hadn't been shaken off, and the hair on his forehead was still damp. Lu Xiwen and Lan Zhe looked at him at the same time, and Lu Xiwen frowned: "Didn't go into the garage?"
“The garage is full,” Pei Wu said.
The shopping mall across the street is having a promotional event recently, and with the end of the year approaching, it's packed with people every day. There aren't enough parking spaces, so I drove into Changrong.
"Have a cup of tea to warm up," Lan Zhe suggested, noting that Pei Wu's outstretched hands were red from the cold.
“Hmm.” Pei Wu looked at Lu Xiwen, “I’m sorry, Mr. Lu, I’m late.”
"What does Blizzard have to do with you?" Lu Xiwen asked.
Pei Wu felt warm inside and went to the tea room to make herself a cup of black tea.
When Lan Zhe came out, he found him and showed him a draft of a proposal. It was to work with Shengxing, a leading car company, to create a co-branded model. After all, Changrong's intelligent driving technology is now the industry benchmark. However, after careful consideration, he decided to cooperate with domestic companies to support the local economy. The benefits offered by the higher-ups were also very good. It was a big project.
Pei Wu immediately understood that they intended to involve him.
Pei Wu spent the entire morning carefully reviewing the relevant documents and materials.
Shengxing was also eager to try, and Pei Wu and Lan Zhe met with the person in charge of the other party several times.
Lu Xiwen then accepted Sheng Xing's invitation to a banquet.
On Thursday afternoon, Xiaoxue and Lan Zhe were driving, with Lu Xiwen and Pei Wu sitting side by side in the back.
Pei Wu's throat was a bit sore from being exposed to the wind too much these past few days. He was worried about catching a cold at this crucial moment and was thinking of taking medicine as soon as he got home.
Pei Wu had a notebook on his lap and was reading very quickly. He coughed twice and continued reading.
Lu Xiwen glanced sideways at Pei Wu without changing his expression.
The barrier has faded again.
"How delicate," Lu Xi thought to himself. The barrier weakened and became fragile. His pheromones extended invisibly, then wrapped around Pei Wu's waist, almost completely enveloping her.
Lu Xiwen clearly saw Pei Wu's eyes light up as she sniffed the air forcefully.
snort.
Lan Zhe, sitting in the front row, turned green. It was impossible for an Alpha to peacefully accept the pheromones of another Alpha. Did President Lu really not care about his life or death?
