Lu Linglong lay sprawled on the sofa, one hand touching her lower abdomen. Her lips were slightly swollen, but her face was radiant, and her eyes were full of satisfaction.
In particular, when she saw Zhuang Wen clearing away the dishes, her eyes became fascinated, and she felt a sweet warmth in her heart.
However, when she suddenly thought of Lu Ruxue, her face darkened.
While Zhuang Wen went into the kitchen to wash the dishes, she pursed her red lips, picked up her things, and left Zhuang Wen's house without saying a word.
When Zhuang Wen came out, he stood there for a long time without moving, staring at the empty living room.
...
2:30.
Zhuang Wen drove to the company.
As soon as he entered the company, he saw several pretty girls at the front desk greeting him.
"What's wrong?"
He noticed that the girls he knew quite well all looked a little off, so he went over and asked them what was wrong.
"Zhuang Wen, you have a rival now!"
One of the pretty girls with chubby cheeks spoke first.
Her title changed from Secretary Zhuang to Zhuang Wen.
"What opponent?"
Zhuang Wen was taken aback, then the smile on his face gradually faded, and his expression became solemn.
Is there anyone who wants to compete with me for Lu Ruxue?
This was his first thought.
"You don't know yet?"
"Didn't you check the group forum?"
"You're pretty out of touch..."
The other girls chimed in with their own comments, laughing and chatting.
Zhuang Wen frowned, somewhat impatiently, and asked, "What exactly happened?"
Hearing Zhuang Wen's tone suddenly become more serious, the girls dared not laugh anymore.
The girl who spoke first glanced at Zhuang Wen cautiously and whispered, "It's Zhang Yu. Zhang Yu is back."
Zhuang Wen was stunned.
Upon seeing this, the girls at the front desk exchanged glances, all of them seeing the "as expected" look in each other's eyes.
"It's alright, Secretary Zhuang, we all support you continuing to be the president's secretary!"
"Yes, we all support you unconditionally!"
"Although Zhang Yu is your girlfriend, but..."
The girls all comforted Zhuang Wen.
Zhuang Wen suddenly laughed and said nonchalantly, "What's wrong with that? It's good that she's back. I have no attachment to the position of president's secretary..."
"ah?"
The girls were completely confused; this wasn't what they expected.
It shouldn't be...
"The position of CEO's secretary is, firstly, very tiring; secondly, it requires dedication, meticulousness, caution, the ability to read between the lines, and the understanding of what the leader is thinking..."
Zhuang Wen chuckled and said, "I can't compare to Secretary Zhang in this regard. It's good that she's back. She can help President Lu with his work, and I can have some free time. Isn't this a win-win situation?"
After saying that, he turned around and walked towards the elevator without waiting for the receptionist's reaction.
"Do you think Zhuang Wen was sincere when he said those things?"
"I think so. He seems very carefree and doesn't seem to care much about the position of the president's secretary..."
"Do you think he doesn't care because Zhang Yu is his girlfriend? After all, the position of president's secretary is something they can both have, so what difference does it make who gets the job?"
"As far as I know, Zhuang Wen isn't that kind of person, is he?"
Behind him, several girls watched Zhuang Wen's departing figure and couldn't help but whisper among themselves, gossiping.
Zhuang Wen didn't hear their gossiping, and of course, even if he did, he wouldn't care.
He took the elevator straight to the 30th floor.
As soon as I stepped out of the elevator, I saw a young, stylish woman sitting in my seat.
"Secretary Zhuang..."
The moment the beautiful woman saw Zhuang Wen, she stood up, looking somewhat embarrassed.
"Secretary Zhang."
Zhuang Wen smiled and nodded at her.
The beautiful woman in front of her was Zhang Yu, who had accompanied her father abroad for medical treatment.
At this moment, she was wearing a gray plaid suit, straight-leg trousers, and black high heels, looking both stylish and sophisticated.
"I'm not a secretary anymore, Secretary Zhuang can just call me Zhang Yu."
Zhang Yu smiled politely.
"No, you are the president's secretary. Now that you're back, this position should be returned to you. I've only been working for you during this time."
Zhuang Wen waved his hand and laughed, "Perfect timing, now that you're back, I can finally take a break."
"ah?"
Zhang Yu's beautiful eyes widened.
She could tell that Zhuang Wen really didn't care that much about the position of president's secretary.
"Don't be surprised, only you are qualified for the position of president's secretary. I still have a lot to learn."
Zhuang Wen sighed and joked, "You don't know, in the few days you were away, although I'm nominally the president's secretary, President Lu did everything himself, leaving me out in the cold..."
"Giggle..."
Hearing Zhuang Wen's words, Zhang Yu couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle, her beautiful eyes glancing at Zhuang Wen with a sparkling light.
Ring ring—
Just then, the landline on the table rang.
Zhang Yu looked at Zhuang Wen.
Zhuang Wen smiled and said, "You can take it."
Zhang Yu then answered the call, her expression changing slightly before she respectfully replied, "Yes, Mr. Lu."
After hanging up the phone, she looked at Zhuang Wen and said, "President Lu is looking for you."
"Oh, it seems you heard my voice."
Zhuang Wen shrugged and then walked toward Lu Ruxue's office.
But then, as if remembering something, he suddenly stopped and looked at Zhang Yu, asking, "How is your father?"
Thank you for your concern.
A beautiful smile appeared on Zhang Yu's lips as she said softly, "Thanks to President Lu, she found a doctor for my father abroad. He's incredibly skilled... My father has already had surgery and is recuperating in a hospital overseas. My mother is taking care of him, so I came back first..."
"That's good."
Zhuang Wen nodded and said, "Now you can focus on your work."
"Uh-huh."
Zhang Yu nodded emphatically.
"I'm leaving."
Zhuang Wen walked toward Lu Ruxue's office and knocked on the door.
As Lu Ruxue's clear and cold voice came from inside, Zhuang Wen pushed the door open and went in, closing it behind him.
Throughout this process, Zhang Yu kept her eyes on Zhuang Wen, a strange light flickering in her eyes...
...
Zhuang Wen walked into Lu Ruxue's office and closed the door behind him.
As soon as Zhuang Wen entered the room, Lu Ruxue raised her head, her clear eyes cold and fixed on him.
"Mr. Lu, what brings you here?"
Zhuang Wen didn't stand on ceremony and plopped down opposite Lu Ruxue.
"Have you slept enough?"
Lu Ruxue put down her pen, took off her gold-rimmed glasses, and casually asked a question.
"Thank you for your concern, Mr. Lu. I slept well."
Zhuang Wen nodded and smiled.
Lu Ruxue took a close look at Zhuang Wen's eyes and said, "Your dark circles are quite noticeable."
Zhuang Wen was taken aback, then touched his eyes and laughed, "President Lu is very observant; he can even see that."
Lu Ruxue's cheeks flushed slightly, and she gave Zhuang Wen a barely perceptible glare before asking, "Did you know where my eldest sister went last night?"
Zhuang Wen asked guiltily, "I don't know, what happened to her?"
His voice trembled slightly.
Lu Ruxue looked at him, her brows furrowing slightly, as if she had sensed something amiss.
