Qiao Zhen did not answer.
Shen Yan wasn't angry. She stood in front of Qiao Zhen and sighed, "A girl's most important thing is her face. No matter what happens, you can't let her face be hurt."
Turning to Ling Yiyi, he said, "What's wrong with you? We're all women, how could you slap someone's face? Qiao Zhen's face is not only swollen, it probably won't heal for two or three days. Who's in charge here? Are President Lu's employees so uncooperative?"
The supervisor quickly stepped forward and stammered, "Miss Chen, I'm so sorry, you must have seen this embarrassing scene."
When Ling Yiyi saw Shen Yan speak, she didn't care about anything else. She broke free from everyone's restraint and walked straight up to her. "Miss Shen, don't be fooled by her. I saw with my own eyes that on the first day President Lu arrived, she went to President Lu's office and didn't come out for a long time."
With a sharp "slap," Shen Yan slapped Ling Yiyi across the face. Ling Yiyi looked terrified. "Miss Shen, what are you doing?"
"I'm teaching you that there are some things you shouldn't say."
Shen Yan clapped her hands lightly, as if she had just done something trivial. "You started a fight at the company, affecting other people's moods, and now you're spouting nonsense in front of me. How did you even get into this company?"
The HR manager quickly stepped forward, "Ms. Shen, she has only been with the company for six months, it's not a long time."
Ling Yiyi became anxious. "Miss Chen, I'm angry today because she stole my order. Those who work on projects live off commissions. We can't let scoundrels get protected while honest people like me get bullied, can we?"
Qiao Zhen snorted coldly, "You call yourself an honest person? You're an insult to that word."
Seeing that things were not going well, the supervisor quickly glanced at Ling Yiyi and stepped forward to explain.
"The project of Chengdong Fuzhou Hospital was taken over by the Lu Group. Originally, Ling Yiyi said that this project was hers, and even gave the contract to the design department so that the design department could design the drawings first."
"But she said that, but she didn't sign a contract. For large projects like this, we would send people to take photos with the other party and negotiate the details. The deal wouldn't be signed so quickly."
"I don't know what happened today, but Ling Yiyi insisted that Qiao Zhen had snatched the order, which led to what happened just now."
"She stole the order, you all heard it, she said it was compensation from He Yang." Ling Yiyi said angrily, "She just stole my things."
Chen Yan turned around, smiled, and asked Qiao Zhen, "Have you signed the contract?"
Qiao Zhen shook her head, "No, I was just saying it casually, I don't know what the final result will be."
Shen Yan lowered her head and smiled, but no one noticed the hint of mockery that flashed in her eyes.
"It's normal to have disputes when signing contracts, but we're all in the same company and department, we see each other all the time. If you make such a big fuss, how will you get along in the future?"
"What's wrong?"
Lu Zheng entered through the door, his gaze falling on Qiao Zhen before turning to Shen Yan.
Shen Yan quickly stepped forward, took his arm, and said, "You're here. Let me tell you, I'm helping you resolve this dispute."
Lu Zheng frowned and pulled his hand away from hers. "What dispute?"
Shen Yan pulled Lu Zheng closer and whispered in his ear, "Lu Zheng, I know you don't want to see me, but my grandfather wants to see you. For my grandfather's sake, please let me finish this matter."
The two were very affectionate. Lu Zheng looked at Shen Yan as she mentioned her grandfather, his eyebrows drooping, and he remained silent.
Shen Yan maintained her smile, "Ling Yiyi, Qiao Zhen hasn't signed a contract yet, and you haven't completely secured it either, so who gets this deal ultimately depends on your individual abilities."
Ling Yiyi didn't say anything, but it was obvious that her arrogance had diminished considerably.
Shen Yan glanced at Qiao Zhen again: "Qiao Zhen, what do you think?"
“Miss Shen is right, it all depends on one’s own abilities.”
After resolving the dispute, Shen Yan raised an eyebrow at Lu Zheng. "Alright, things are settled. You have an important meeting today. Let's go back together after you're done, okay?"
Lu Zheng glanced at Qiao Zhen, about to speak, when Shen Yan spoke first: "I heard that the demolition in the west of Jiangcheng is about to begin. The official announcement has been made, and the Gu family is also involved. My grandfather has inside information and wants to talk to you about it, so you should finish what you're doing as soon as possible."
She pushed Lu Zheng towards the exit, calling out to Qiao Zhen, "Qiao Zhen, come out with me for a moment."
Qiao Zhen stood there for a few seconds, feeling a little nervous. She didn't know if Shen Yan knew about the ambiguous relationship between her and Lu Zheng.
Clutching her handbag with both hands, she hesitated for a moment before following them downstairs.
In the lobby, Lu Zheng looked down at his watch, but didn't rush upstairs. He frowned as he looked at the redness and swelling on Qiao Zhen's face.
What just happened?
Qiao Zhen opened her mouth, but felt that nothing she said was appropriate. She didn't want Lu Zheng to interfere in her private affairs.
Shen Yan smiled and tried to smooth things over, "It's nothing, just a matter between employees. As the chairman, do you have to concern yourself with even the smallest things your employees do?"
Lu Zheng did not answer, but just looked at Qiao Zhen.
At that moment, the assistant rushed over and said, "Mr. Lu, the person has arrived and is already waiting for you in the conference room."
Shen Yan urged again, "You should go quickly; company matters are of utmost importance."
Qiao Zhen didn't say a word from beginning to end. In what capacity did she speak to Lu Zheng?
Lu Zheng looked at Qiao Zhen again, and seeing that she didn't speak and just kept her head down, he frowned. "Alright, I'll go first."
Shen Yan watched Lu Zheng get on the elevator before turning to look at Qiao Zhen.
Qiao Zhen stood in front of Shen Yan, and she could feel the other woman's gaze scrutinizing her from head to toe.
"Qiao Zhen, can I call you Zhenzhen? You're so pretty."
Shen Yan withdrew her gaze and enthusiastically took Qiao Zhen's hand, "Your skin is so beautiful, what skincare products do you use?"
Qiao Zhen was confused by Shen Yan's actions.
Ling Yiyi made it very clear that on Lu Zheng's first day there, she did spend a long time in the office with him.
Doesn't Chen Yan care?
"I just use regular lotions and creams."
Qiao Zhen didn't dare to answer rashly, and cautiously asked, "Miss Chen, is there something you need from me?"
"It's nothing, I just feel like we're destined to meet."
Shen Yan affectionately took her arm and blinked her eyes, saying, "Although Lu Zheng and I are engaged, you know he has a bad temper and always makes me guess what he's thinking. I can't guess it, I'm a bit slow. But we are from a prestigious family, so even if he thinks I'm slow, he can't do anything about it."
Qiao Zhen didn't say anything. Why was Shen Yan telling her all this?
"Zhenzhen, I know Lu Zheng treats you differently."
Qiao Zhen was sweating. "Miss Chen, you've misunderstood. There's nothing between me and President Lu."
Seeing that Qiao Zhen was a little anxious, Chen Yan laughed and patted her arm, saying, "I was just teasing you. Of course I know that there's nothing between you and Lu Zheng. Our two families are old friends, and Lu Zheng and I are childhood sweethearts. I believe you, and I believe him even more."
Qiao Zhen stared at her without saying a word.
