The high heels made a crisp, loud sound as they hit the ground.
The crisp, decisive voice revealed the owner of the high heels to be a person of great efficiency and decisiveness.
Zhuang Wen obediently followed behind Zhang Yu.
This scene was witnessed by everyone in the sales department.
In their minds, Zhang Yu and Zhuang Wen were in a relationship.
"What happened to Zhuang Wen? Did Secretary Zhang catch him in bed with something?"
"What nonsense are you talking about? Is Zhuang Wen that kind of person? At most, he's just a smooth talker who was caught red-handed by Secretary Zhang."
"Oh no, my girlfriend caught me. This is serious."
Many people in the sales department were whispering among themselves.
Zhuang Wen glared at his friends and colleagues who were having a particularly lively conversation, but all he got in return was their more unrestrained discussion and gloating looks.
"You really don't know the reason."
Zhuang Wen found their ignorance somewhat amusing.
I arrived at the empty stairwell.
Zhang Yu's icy expression instantly thawed, and her smile became serious yet polite. "Zhuang Wen, President Lu is looking for you."
"Okay, thank you, Secretary Zhang."
Zhuang Wen also answered politely.
"You go up by yourself, I have to go out for a bit."
After Zhang Yu finished speaking, she swayed her slender waist and left Zhuang Wen's sight.
Zhuang Wenye took a private elevator directly to the 30th floor.
As soon as he arrived at Lu Ruxue's office, he heard a sharp and sarcastic voice coming from inside:
"Ru Xue, your father and I fought side by side to build this empire, and we've devoted ourselves to the Lu Group. Even if we haven't made any great contributions, we must have put in a lot of hard work, right?"
"It's one thing for you to inspect my purchasing department's procurement matters last year, but why do you want us to file each item with the disciplinary department in the future?"
"You clearly don't trust or respect our purchasing department. How am I, the department head, supposed to hold my head high in front of my subordinates?"
Then, Lu Ruxue's clear and melodious voice rang out:
"Minister Liu, I address you as Minister Liu at work, but in private I will call you Aunt Liu."
“I also know that you and my father worked together to build the Lu Group and made indelible contributions. My father and I are very grateful to you, so we gave you one of the highest salaries in the group.”
"I didn't initially plan to file a disciplinary report on your purchasing department's procurement matters, but do you know how many problems this inspection uncovered? If I told you, you'd be shocked!"
"To put it bluntly, if I hand over the inspection results to the police, more than half of your purchasing department will be in jail, including you!"
"Oh no, it can't be that serious, can it?"
The woman seemed startled, her voice trembling slightly. Then, she regained her composure and said, "It's understandable that people make mistakes. You don't need to make a big deal out of it. Anyway, the purchasing department hasn't hindered the group's development."
Lu Ruxue snorted coldly and said:
"Isn't this a case of far too many and too big of a problem?"
"I'm just putting your disciplinary record on file now, which is a way of giving the purchasing department a chance. I'll let bygones be bygones for what happened before."
"As you know, our group has encountered a bottleneck in its development, which we need to overcome as soon as possible, otherwise we will decline. Therefore, I will strengthen supervision of not only the purchasing department, but all departments from now on, to prevent such problems from recurring and hindering the group's development!"
Lu Ruxue's words were forceful and well-reasoned.
Zhuang Wen listened with great admiration.
No wonder he's the group president.
Despite his young age, his words and actions command respect.
He clearly underestimated the power of women's unreasonable demands:
"Mr. Lu, what do you mean by that? Are you blaming us for holding your company back? Or do you think the company's poor performance is all our fault?"
Lu Ruxue said helplessly, "I didn't say that..."
The woman cried and made a scene:
"So what do you want to say? Your whole family is great, the problems with the group have nothing to do with you, it's all the fault of our subordinates!"
"Do you think it's easy for us? We work overtime every day without complaint, and not only do we not get your recognition, but you even blame us for dragging the company down..."
"Is this how you act as CEO? I don't know what your father thought, sending a little girl like you to lead us..."
"I can't watch the Lu Group fall under your control. I'm going to see Old Master Lu today. I'm going to tell him about this and let him be the judge!"
Zhuang Wen frowned as he listened.
He pushed the door open.
The two people in the room both looked at him.
Lu Ruxue sat behind the table, her clear, cold eyes staring quietly at him.
On the sofa, a middle-aged woman, adorned with gold and silver, was wailing and gesticulating wildly.
Zhuang Wen was no stranger to this woman; she was Liu Lu, the purchasing manager of the group, who was notorious in the group for being arrogant, domineering, and... throwing tantrums!
Once, she got into an argument with the head of another department at a group meeting. In front of many employees, she cried, made a scene, and even threatened suicide, which made the other party back down.
He became famous overnight.
"Who are you? Do you think you can just walk in here? Get out!"
Liu Lu glared fiercely at Zhuang Wen and began to curse.
"I asked him to come up."
Lu Ruxue pushed up her exquisite glasses on the bridge of her nose.
"Then why didn't you knock? You have no manners or upbringing! Get out!"
Liu Lu continued to curse.
Lu Ruxue's willow-leaf eyebrows furrowed slowly.
Upon hearing these excessive words, Zhuang Wen remained expressionless and said, "Minister Liu, you are mistaken. I have been listening to your eloquent speech from outside the door, and I have realized that I am far inferior to you in this regard!"
In this regard...
Which aspect are you referring to?
All three people present knew what was going on.
"You dare to curse at me? Get out! Who do you think you are to dare shout like that..."
Liu Lu stood up, her fat jiggling, and pointed at Zhuang Wen, cursing loudly.
Before Zhuang Wen could speak, Lu Ruxue quietly said, "Aunt Liu, I forgot to introduce you. This is my boyfriend, Zhuang Wen."
Liu Lu was stunned, her sharp voice stopped abruptly, and she stared at Zhuang Wen in disbelief.
"I'm not your boyfriend."
Zhuang Wen chuckled: "I'm your husband."
"Yes, we just got our marriage certificate yesterday."
Lu Ruxue said calmly, her expression revealing no hint of a smile.
Liu Lu was completely stunned.
this……
Her mind went blank.
"Let me introduce myself. My name is Zhuang Wen, and I am a junior employee in the sales department."
Zhuang Wen gave Liu Lu a bright smile.
"A junior... employee?"
Liu Lu was even more shocked.
She had assumed that as Lu Ruxue's husband, he must have a very high status, perhaps the son of a certain company owner, but she never expected that he was just a low-level employee in the group's sales department.
Zhuang Wen glanced at Liu Lu.
Just one glance.
Liu Lu broke out in a cold sweat instantly.
"This kid is no pushover."
Feeling the surge in pressure, Liu Lu thought to herself, her eyes wary.
