Lu Wanzheng's honesty increased Shu Mi's goodwill towards her even more.
Just then, the waiter brought out Shumi's cappuccino.
Shu Mi grasped the cup handle, took a small sip, and found the taste acceptable. She said calmly, "You don't need to worry. I didn't misunderstand. I was there with you and Lao Xiao that day. I arrived a little earlier than you and overheard what you and Lao Xiao were saying. I thought you would call me immediately after you left, but I didn't expect you to wait until the next day."
“That day I thought it was getting late and I didn’t want to disturb your rest.” Lu Wanzheng thought of something, she remembered that Shu Mi hadn’t said that to her, “So this collaboration wasn’t something Mrs. Xiao heard from Director Xiao.”
Lu Wanzheng initially thought that Director Xiao had a high opinion of her and had specifically called Shu Mi to tell her about it. However, she didn't expect that Shu Mi had overheard the whole story herself.
Shu Mi, who was in a high position, did not show any embarrassment when her true intentions were exposed.
"Regarding the cooperation, I can only apologize to Ms. Lu. If there hadn't been any international cooperation this time, or if there had been fewer international collaborations, we would have had more manpower to prepare these devices. I've heard your thoughts, and I won't object to this cooperation given your good intentions," Shu Mi said regretfully again.
Lu Wanzheng shook her head, feeling that this was understandable. "We didn't succeed in cooperating this time, but we hope we can cooperate again next time."
"must."
"What are your thoughts on this photo?" Shu Mi tapped the table with her slender, white fingers.
Lu Wanzheng looked at the photo and remained silent for a moment. "I roughly know why she sent you this photo, but if there's only one photo, it doesn't mean anything. I'm more curious about what she'll do next."
"If I'm not in the room that day, and you send me photos like these, aren't you worried?"
"Mrs. Xiao is a wise and righteous woman. She and Director Xiao are a loving couple and will definitely choose to believe in Director Xiao. As for me, I have a clear conscience and will not do anything immoral or immoral, nor will I, Lu Wanzheng, do anything to destroy other people's families. As long as I am as solid as a rock, no outsider can defeat me with that."
Lu Wanzheng spoke with righteous indignation.
Shu Mi nodded repeatedly. "But if such photos are posted online, I'm sure a lot of people will criticize you in the comments."
"I will admit to what I have done, and I will not admit to anything I haven't done, even if I am blacklisted."
Shu Mi's previously distant gaze now held a hint of admiration. Lu Wanzheng's eyes were just like hers—bright as the moon, pure as a child's; she loved looking into eyes like that. Her mother was absolutely right.
Shu Mi completely let go of her prejudices and opened up to Lu Wanzheng for a chat.
Just as they were finishing their coffee, Shu Mi's phone rang, interrupting their conversation.
Shu Mi looked at Lu Wanzheng apologetically.
Lu Wanzheng raised her hand, "Please do as you wish."
Shu Mi answered the phone without deliberately avoiding Lu Wanzheng.
Hearing what was said on the other end of the phone, Shu Mi finally replied with an "OK," her eyes filled with disbelief.
She composed herself and said, "Miss Lu, you are really lucky."
Lu Wanzheng: ? ? ?
Could a single phone call really tell her she was lucky? Lu Wanzheng subconsciously reached out and touched the bracelet on her wrist; it was warm, carrying her body heat.
