Chapter 52 You Secondhand Goods
There might still be people in the bar after midnight, but not on the deck.
Except for Jiangning.
Jiang Ning arrived as promised and saw Li Jifei.
Li Jifei is that Xiao Li from the sales department.
After adding her on WeChat, the other person said that he had taken some photos for her while visiting tourist attractions on the shore during the day and wanted to send them to her.
Jiang Ning always felt that this was just an excuse to add her on WeChat.
The two chatted idly, and he suggested that she go to the deck to see the sea view.
Jiang Ning refused three times, but the other party sent a video call, and she had no choice but to agree.
"Why did you insist on calling me out? Is there something you need?" Jiang Ning asked directly.
Li Jifei looks honest and simple, and his smile is also very kind.
"Jiang Ning, actually, I've been watching you for a long time at the company."
This opening remark led Jiang Ning to believe that Li Jifei wanted to confess his feelings to her.
"I know... I can't compare to President Lu..."
Jiang Ning's expression changed when the other party suddenly mentioned Lu Junyan.
"But next month, I'll be promoted to department manager, and with performance bonuses, I'll make 400,000 a month. That should be enough to support you."
Jiang Ning: ? ? ?
At the cabin entrance, Chu Qingxue noticed that Jiang Ning was not in his room and curiously went out to look for him. Unexpectedly, she saw Jiang Ning standing with Li Jifei on the deck.
"It's only a matter of time before President Lu marries Chu Qingxue. You should start planning for yourself too. I have a good temper, I don't hit women, and I don't have any bad habits. As long as you agree to be with me, I'll give you at least 100,000 yuan a month for spending money..."
The more Jiang Ning listened to Li Jifei's words, the more he felt something was wrong.
This doesn't sound like a confession of love; it sounds more like...
"So, you're already married?"
"I separated from that shrew a long time ago."
Li Jifei's words made Jiang Ning laugh in anger.
It turns out that Li Jifei didn't pursue her because he liked her.
However, some people in the company still misunderstand her as Lu Junyan's bed partner, so Li Jifei believes he can get a share of the profits.
Seeing Jiang Ning turn to leave, Li Jifei panicked and grabbed Jiang Ning, escalating the situation:
"How about two hundred thousand? Two hundred thousand should be enough, right?"
Jiang Ning forcefully shook off Li Jifei.
"Jiang Ning, don't think you're so pretty. Who else but me would want a second-hand woman like you!"
Behind him, Jiang Ning heard Li Jifei's furious shouts. He returned to his room and was so angry that he couldn't sleep all night.
Jiang Ning felt that his five-day, four-night cruise trip not only failed to provide him with any enjoyment of travel, but also resulted in a lot of trouble.
On her first day back at work after the team-building event, she hadn't even settled into her seat when a strange woman suddenly appeared.
The woman, full of arrogance, strode straight toward her.
"Excuse me, who are you looking for...?"
Jiang Ning was slapped by the woman before he could finish speaking.
"You shameless slut! You dared to seduce my husband!"
The woman lunged at Jiang Ning like a madwoman and grabbed his hair.
Jiang Ning realized that the other person must be Li Jifei's wife.
Although the whole thing was a misunderstanding, the other woman was acting like a shrew and wouldn't listen to any explanations. Jiang Ning didn't hold back either, forcefully pushing the woman away and slapping her back.
The woman probably didn't expect the mistress to be so arrogant, and she started sitting on the ground crying.
She cried while cursing Li Jifei and Jiang Ning.
Although she was quickly taken away by security, the negative impact had already been created within the company.
Jiang Ning's face was burning with pain on one side, and the other side was also burning with pain as her colleagues pointed and whispered among themselves.
The design department was surrounded by the entire company until Lu Junyan appeared.
"Come with me for a moment."
Lu Junyan said to Jiang Ning.
His face remained expressionless as always, and his eyes were as cold as ever.
With half her face swollen, Jiang Ning followed behind Lu Junyan, basking in the scrutinizing gazes of the entire company.
Chu Qingxue hid in the crowd until Wang Qing found her.
"Qingxue!"
Wang Qing was extremely excited, but Chu Qingxue held him down.
"Keep your voice down."
"Jiang Ning will definitely be fired by President Lu now, this is truly gratifying!"
Chu Qingxue remained noncommittal in response to Wang Qing's words.
Last night, she sent the photos she had secretly taken of Li Jifei and Jiang Ning pulling at each other to Wang Qing.
On the surface, the question was directed at Wang Qing: Doesn't Li Jifei have a wife? What's going on between him and Jiang Ning?
Sure enough, the next day Li Jifei's wife came to the company and made a scene at Jiang Ning's place.
Jiang Ning's reputation in the company is getting worse and worse. If he can get fired by Lu Junyan because of this incident and leave Lu's Group for good, then everything will be fine.
but……
Chu Qingxue noticed that Lu Junyan led Jiang Ning away not to the conference room, but to the elevator.
In the elevator, Jiang Ning also thought that Lu Junyan was going to fire her.
However, Lu Junyan took her to the B2 parking lot.
Where are we going?
Jiang Ning walked up to the black Maybach but didn't get in.
Lu Junyan's gaze fell on her face.
His calm and composed gaze wouldn't lead Jiang Ning to mistakenly believe that he was feeling sorry for her.
Jiang Ning turned his face away.
She knew she was in a sorry state and didn't want Lu Junyan staring at her.
Lu Junyan opened the passenger door.
Jiang Ning couldn't remember if this was the first time Lu Junyan had opened the car door for her.
"Are you pitying me?" Jiang Ning asked.
"Do you think I have so much free time?"
Lu Junyan went to the driver's seat, so Jiang Ning had no choice but to get into the car.
After driving for a while, Lu Junyan suddenly spoke up:
Does it hurt a lot?
Jiang Ning turned to look at Lu Junyan, who was focused on driving and looking straight ahead.
This was the first time Lu Junyan had spoken to her while driving.
My face definitely hurt; the other person was quite strong.
However, more than the pain, Jiang Ning felt wronged.
She was clearly not a mistress, but she was always unfairly labeled as one.
The gaze directed at Lu Junyan now held a hint of resentment.
If Lu Junyan were to publicly acknowledge her as his legal wife, I believe no one in the company would dare to gossip about her anymore.
But Lu Junyan wouldn't do that.
Jiang Ning felt a slight throbbing pain in her chest.
Now that things have come to this, she still expects Lu Junyan to give her a formal title; she's incredibly foolish.
"Mr. Lu, would this be considered a work-related injury?"
Hearing Jiang Ning ask this question with feigned indifference, Lu Junyan smiled.
"Can."
The black Maybach was parked in a parking space at the city center hospital.
Lu Junyan and Jiang Ning got out of the car.
Jiang Ning had guessed that Lu Junyan might be taking her to the hospital, but she didn't expect it to be here.
Lu Junyan took a step forward, but found that Jiang Ning had not followed.
He turned his head and heard Jiang Ning say coldly:
I don't want to go in.
What are you being so dramatic about?
Jiang Ning knew that Lu Junyan didn't have much patience for her.
It's already unprecedented that I took the initiative to bring her to the hospital today.
"Just think of me as being dramatic. Anyway, I'm not going in. I'll find somewhere to check my own face."
Lu Junyan didn't hold out with Jiang Ning for long before relenting and saying, "Suit yourself. Remember to keep the invoice safe and report your work injury to Xiao Wang in the HR department when you get back to the company."
Jiang Ning watched as Lu Junyan got into the car, and the black Maybach drove past her and drove away.
The sky darkened.
The cool breeze took away the heat from half of my face.
Jiang Ning wrapped her coat tighter around herself.
The last time I came here, the weather was just like this, and the breeze was just like this.
She was alone, and she wrapped her coat tighter around herself.
Jiang Ning didn't want to think about whether Lu Junyan truly cared about her.
He might care if other employees were beaten, after all, as a leader, Lu Junyan has a pretty good reputation.
However, there was one thing she was absolutely certain of—
Lu Junyan had no recollection of the fact that she was diagnosed with her pregnancy at this hospital, or that she had a miscarriage at this hospital.
