Hearing this, Lu Zheng seemed unusually calm: "Trust me, Zhenzhen, no matter what happens, I won't let you suffer at all."
Lu Zheng had never said anything like this before, but now that he had, it made Qiao Zhen quite worried.
"Why are you suddenly saying such strange things? It's making me very worried, you know?"
Seeing the worried look in Qiao Zhen's eyes, Lu Zheng suddenly smiled: "I only need you to stand by my side at all times, that's enough."
Hearing this, Qiao Zhen nodded almost without hesitation: "Yes, I believe you."
After saying this, the two remained silent and returned home.
Lu Zheng told her to rest early, and not only did he personally prepare the bath water for her, but he also made up the quilt for her.
Something unusual is bound to happen. Lu Zheng's unusual behavior towards her today only further suggests that there's something fishy going on behind this.
However, Qiao Zhen had already promised Lu Zheng to trust him, so even though she had a million doubts in her heart, she could only pretend to be nonchalant and smile gratefully at him.
"You should go to sleep early too, Lu Zheng."
"Okay, goodnight, sweet dreams."
After saying that, Lu Zheng smiled and kissed Qiao Zhen on the forehead, then casually turned off the bedside lamp, and the room became completely quiet and dark.
Qiao Zhen also fell into a deep sleep.
The next day, when Qiao Zhen woke up again, the sun was already high in the sky.
Qiao Zhen struggled to her feet, but a sense of unease crept into her heart.
She didn't know why she had this feeling, but she still got ready as quickly as possible and went to work.
When Qiao Zhen arrived at the company, she found that the employees seemed to have no interest in coming to work and were all restless.
Seeing this, Qiao Zhen couldn't help but frown in confusion, only to find that Qiao Luosheng hadn't come today either.
Confused, Qiao Zhen sent a message to Qiao Luosheng: "Didn't you come to work today?"
"Yes, sister, Mr. Lu told me that I don't need to come to work recently, saying that there are some things to take care of at the company."
Looking at the contents of the text message, Qiao Zhen couldn't calm down. She had a feeling that something was being kept from her.
It was only then that she realized Qiao Yun hadn't come either.
Could it be...?
Thinking of Qiao Yun's smug smile last night, Qiao Zhen's unease grew stronger.
Could it be that Qiao Yun really got what he wanted?
Thinking this, Qiao Zhen was suddenly nudged by her colleague with her elbow.
"Sister Zhenzhen, you're still not running away? Could it be that you and President Lu are truly in love?"
Upon hearing the words "run away," Qiao Zhen felt the hairs on his body stand on end. He asked in disbelief.
"What do you mean, 'run away'?"
Upon hearing this, her colleague across the table looked at her incredulously: "You don't know? Mr. Lu's company is about to go bankrupt!"
"What!?" Upon hearing this, Qiao Zhen was so shocked that she stood up from her chair.
"When did this happen? How could it be so sudden? Everything was fine yesterday!"
Seeing Qiao Zhen's agitated state, her colleague was already used to it and calmly comforted her, "Don't get too excited. This is just a normal phenomenon. After all, there's nothing we can control."
"Do you know what happened?"
Seeing Qiao Zhen's anxious look, her colleague sighed and said, "This is just a rumor. It seems that some secret in President Lu's company was leaked, causing his pelvis to collapse, which is why the company is facing bankruptcy."
Upon hearing this, Qiao Zhen felt a buzzing in her head, and her hands began to tremble.
"You should take it easy. After all, company bankruptcy is quite common. You're quite famous online now, so as long as you manage things well, you won't have to worry about finding a way out. But it's much harder for ordinary people like us. Sigh."
After her colleague finished speaking with an envious look, he sighed and left, while Qiao Zhen, who was standing next to him, had not yet reacted.
How could this be...?
It really happened that fast...
Qiao Zhen was not only shocked, but also completely confused.
Didn't Lu Zheng see through Qiao Yun's plans yesterday?
How could she still get infected? Does Qiao Yun have some other method?
Thinking this, Qiao Zhen felt like a sinner, so she immediately ran to the office door and knocked: "Lu Zheng, what's going on?"
Seeing that Qiao Zhen was about to cry, her colleague couldn't help but feel sorry for her: "Alright, Zhenzhen, don't be too sad."
Hearing this, Qiao Zhen really couldn't listen to a word. She shook her head and sighed.
"How can I accept this? The Lu Group is Lu Zheng's life's work!"
Seeing that he couldn't persuade her, her colleague could only resignedly shake her head, then sighed and left.
Lu Zheng, unusually, did not show up, but instead told his colleagues to leave or go their separate ways.
As for Qiao Zhen, the assistant also gave her one last instruction.
"Ms. Qiao, Mr. Lu has asked you to continue living in the villa as usual. Your lifestyle will remain the same as before, and you will not suffer any harm."
Hearing her assistant's words, Qiao Zhen felt even more heartbroken. She never expected that Lu Zheng's casual remark yesterday would actually come true.
"How much money does the company need to help them get through this difficult time?"
Hearing this, the assistant looked troubled, but after thinking for a moment, he said, "It's about 20 million. Actually, it's not a big problem. The difficulty lies in the lack of funds, which has led to malicious competition from many companies, which has squeezed our company out of business."
Hearing this, Qiao Zhen could only nod. Putting aside the company's malicious competition, even the 20 million was beyond her ability to afford.
As Qiao Zhen stepped out of the office, she felt a breeze that sent chills down her spine.
She didn't know what she was supposed to do, but one thing she knew was that she had to help Lu Zheng as much as possible.
Right now, Lu Zheng is too busy to show up, so of course she can't just sit and wait for her fate.
Just then, Qiao Zhen suddenly received a text message.
It was written during deep thought.
"Qiao Zhen, do you want to save the Lu Group? If so, come to this address."
Upon seeing this, Qiao Zhen immediately stopped and carefully examined the text message.
After confirming that it was indeed a post from Chen Si, she couldn't help but be a little stunned.
Reason told her that this matter was not so simple, but given Lu Zheng's current situation, how could she not help him?
In other words, even if it meant facing mountains of knives and seas of fire, Qiao Zhen had to jump.
With this thought in mind, Qiao Zhen gritted her teeth and decided to take a taxi to that address.
Upon arrival, Qiao Zhen discovered that the venue had been reserved by them, and no outsiders were allowed to enter.
Upon seeing Qiao Zhen arrive, a fleeting hint of smugness crossed his pensive face, which was then replaced by a disdainful smile.
