Zhuang Wen watched Lu Ruxue's departing figure and shook his head.
I didn't get the answer I wanted.
Although he had already guessed it, without Lu Ruxue's personal confirmation, the answer still wavered in his mind and remained to be verified.
"We need to find an opportunity to verify this."
He muttered something to himself, opened the door, and returned to the conference room via the stairwell.
At this moment, Lu Ruxue had already returned. When she saw Zhuang Wen push open the door and walk in, her eyes were cold and expressionless, without the slightest change.
Seeing this, Zhuang Wen chuckled to himself, marveling that every woman is a born actress; her acting was so superb that there wasn't a trace of acting to be seen.
But upon closer inspection, he noticed that a blush had not completely faded behind Lu Ruxue's ears.
"Hey, your acting skills need improvement."
Zhuang Wen silently evaluated Lu Ruxue's acting skills and told himself that he needed to hone them more in the future.
During lunchtime.
Lu Ruxue left immediately after finishing her meal.
Others didn't know why she left so quickly and assumed she was making preparations to visit a patient at the hospital that afternoon.
Only Zhuang Wen knew that Lu Ruxue was afraid he would do something that she couldn't handle, so she wanted to "make a quick decision".
As soon as Lu Ruxue left, the atmosphere in the entire private room instantly relaxed.
"Brother, you're awesome! If Mr. Lin from Yuzhu Pharmaceuticals hadn't mentioned it, we wouldn't have known that you went to a bar last night to rescue a beautiful woman."
"Yes, you've really kept it a secret! On the surface, you're just a secretary, but I never expected you to be such a hidden hero!"
He Bo and Dong Qiang were both making fun of each other.
Zhuang Wen swallowed the food in his mouth, waved helplessly, and said with a wry smile, "What hero? I just can't stand it, it's no big deal..."
"Look, you're getting all modest after I said a few words to you."
He Bo said.
"Yeah, why didn't you invite us to the bar last night? You were hogging it all by yourself!"
Dong Qiang also chuckled and made a sarcastic remark.
"Forehead."
Zhuang Wen never expected them to say that.
After thinking for a moment, Zhuang Wen added, "Don't just talk about me, tell me where you guys went last night?"
He turned the tables on him.
The two were speechless.
"Alright, I have to go to the hospital to visit that patient this afternoon. I'm going to go back and catch up on some sleep to recharge."
"Me too, I get sleepy around noon as I get older, I'll go back and take a nap."
Then, the two spoke casually, and before Zhuang Wen could stop them, they left the private room together amidst many strange looks.
The remaining people exchanged glances, all of them seeing the suppressed smile in each other's eyes.
Zhuang Wen chuckled softly, "These two old bastards!"
He definitely didn't do anything good last night!
After finishing his meal, Zhuang Wenben wanted to go to Lu Ruxue's room to take a nap.
But after thinking about it, if we really go, neither of us will get a break this afternoon!
So he went back to his room and rested for half an hour.
2:00.
Lu Ruxue, Zhuang Wen, He Bo, and Dong Qiang, along with two colleagues familiar with the business, arrived at the First People's Hospital of Jianing City in a minibus.
In the lobby on the first floor, they met Lin Ni, Lin Shu, and several others who had been waiting for a while.
Here, Zhuang Wen also ran into Lin Shu's brother, Lin Ke, whom he had met the night before.
He seemed to be waiting there on purpose, dressed in a gray leather jacket, his hair slicked back, looking every bit the gangster.
Sure enough, as soon as he saw Zhuang Wen, he immediately greeted him with a big smile.
"Brother Zhuang, I never expected this..."
He gripped Zhuang Wen's hand tightly, his expression excited.
Zhuang Wen glanced at Lu Ruxue almost imperceptibly, as if giving some kind of hint.
Lu Ruxue, with her keen intuition, immediately sensed Zhuang Wen's intentions. Recalling their conversation in the stairwell that morning, a flicker of emotion appeared in her clear eyes.
“Brother Zhuang, I was still thinking about how to find you in Jianing City last night when I got back. I didn’t expect Xiao Shu to call me at noon today and say that you are actually the secretary of the president of Lu’s Group and are on a business trip in Jianing City. So I came over to see you right away. I really thank you for what happened last night, otherwise…”
In Zhuang Wen's memory, Lin Ke was a concise yet ruthless person. He never expected him to talk so much, which gave Zhuang Wen a headache.
"Stop, Brother Lin, you've already thanked me many times, there's no need to be so polite."
He quickly stopped Lin Ke from continuing to speak.
Lin Ke smiled sheepishly and said, "I can thank you for this kindness no matter how many times I thank you!"
Upon hearing this, Zhuang Wen gave Lin Ke a deep look, his lips curving upwards in a rather happy smile.
This person is quite interesting.
"Alright, Xiao Ke, since Secretary Zhuang has said so, you don't need to keep nagging here."
Lin Ni walked up, smiling radiantly, her hair flowing back and forth, revealing her long, swan-like, snow-white neck.
Her mature and voluptuous figure swayed gracefully, her black suit accentuated her stunning curves, her rounded calves encased in black stockings, and her high heels tied with thin straps at her ankles—all of which almost made Zhuang Wen unable to look away.
"Okay, sister, I have one more thing to say, and then I'll stop talking."
Lin Ke assured Lin Ni, then turned to Zhuang Wen with a smile and said:
"Brother Zhuang, you absolutely can't leave tonight, we have to have a good drink together."
Zhuang Wen was about to refuse when Lin Ke said directly, "You said last night that we should be friends when we meet again. How can we be friends without drinking? Don't you think so?"
Zhuang Wen smiled helplessly upon hearing this, then looked at Lu Ruxue with a questioning gaze.
