Qiao Zhen was startled by his actions and struggled to get down: "This is the company, are you crazy!"
“This company is owned by the Lu family.” Lu Zheng said with a smirk, the teasing in his eyes making Qiao Zhen too embarrassed to look him in the eye.
"What if someone sees us...?"
Qiao Zhen said with her head down.
Unexpectedly, Lu Zheng became even bolder: "Wouldn't it be better if someone saw us?"
"You!" Qiao Zhen's face flushed red as she clenched her fists and glared at him.
Seeing Lu Zheng's triumphant smile, Qiao Zhen felt embarrassed, as if she had been tricked.
Lu Zheng ignored his little scheme and grabbed Qiao Zhen's small, delicate belly with his large hand, pulling her close to his side.
Qiao Zhen felt Lu Zheng's burning breath and unconsciously swallowed.
"Um... Tang Yue got into a fight with one of the company's employees today."
As soon as he finished speaking, Qiao Zhen clearly felt Lu Zheng's movements stiffen. He then released Qiao Zhen and his tone returned to its coldness.
"Hmm, what's wrong?"
Seemingly unaccustomed to Lu Zheng's sudden change in tone, Qiao Zhen tentatively spoke.
"Nothing much, I just wanted to give you an update."
"From now on, you can handle these small matters on my behalf directly without having to tell me."
Upon hearing this, Qiao Zhen blinked.
Does he mean that he has the same say in the company as Lu Zheng?
Thinking of this, Qiao Zhen couldn't help but feel a stirring in her heart.
But then she thought about Lu Zheng's promise that he wouldn't give her a formal title, and she fell into a dilemma again.
Was Lu Zheng's kindness to her sweet, or poison disguised as sugar?
Unable to figure it out, Qiao Zhen simply stopped thinking about it and made an excuse to leave the office, where she saw Tang Yue wiping away tears at her workstation.
Qiao Zhen couldn't help but walk over and say, "Don't cry."
Tang Yue seemed surprised that someone in the company could comfort her, especially Qiao Zhen; her sobs stopped instantly.
"Make sure you're in a good mood before you start working, otherwise it will affect your work efficiency."
After Qiao Zhen finished speaking, she left to attend to her own business.
She didn't really say those words to comfort Tang Yue; it was just that Tang Yue hadn't really done anything wrong in the matter of the Tang family's tax evasion.
After a long day of work, Qiao Zhen was a little tired. She opened her phone and saw a message from Qiao Luosheng.
"Sis, I've settled into university life. I've found that my roommates are all pretty good, and I'm very satisfied with everything."
Watching the video sent by Qiao Luosheng, Qiao Zhen couldn't help but smile. Seeing her younger brother happy, Qiao Zhen felt that everything was worth it.
"I hope you can adapt well. I wish you a wonderful and fulfilling college life!"
Even after closing her phone, Qiao Zhen's smile remained.
Upon seeing this, Lu Zheng couldn't help but ask, "Who are you chatting with so happily?"
"man."
Qiao Zhen glanced at him, then continued fiddling with her phone.
No sooner had she finished speaking than the car slammed on the brakes. Qiao Zhen lost her balance and her forehead slammed against the front of the car, the pain bringing tears to her eyes.
"Lu Zheng!" Qiao Zhen called his name in an annoyed tone, but when she turned around and saw Lu Zheng's dark face, she couldn't help but smile again.
"Is Mr. Lu jealous because he looks like this?"
"Then you have to tell me who that person is. I'm not jealous of just anyone."
Lu Zheng stopped the car completely and, while waiting at the traffic light, moved closer to Qiao Zhen.
The two drew closer and closer. Qiao Zhen tried to dodge, but Lu Zheng cornered him against the wall, leaving him powerless to resist.
Qiao Zhen only meant to tease Lu Zheng, but he actually took it seriously.
At this moment, the red light went out and the green light came on. All the cars around them started moving forward, but Lu Zheng's car remained stationary.
The people behind couldn't help but honk their horns.
Qiao Zhen panicked and urged Lu Zheng to leave quickly: "You need to leave now, don't break the rules!"
Lu Zheng acted as if he hadn't heard, and continued to ask the same question: "Who was that person?"
Qiao Zhen felt somewhat helpless and had no choice but to admit that she had just been talking to Qiao Luosheng.
Lu Zheng then turned around, quickly started the car, and drove away.
Thinking back on Lu Zheng's smooth and effortless maneuver just now, Qiao Zhen still felt a little scared.
This man is capable of anything.
"If you're even jealous of my brother, then there's nothing I can do."
After a long silence, Qiao Zhen finally managed to utter this sentence.
Upon hearing this, Lu Zheng merely glanced at Qiao Zhen without responding.
"Tomorrow is the day of the banquet, so be prepared."
Qiao Zhen nodded. Anyway, he wasn't the main character of the banquet, so he didn't need to feel too much pressure.
Soon, when he woke up again, he was shocked by what Lu Zheng had arranged for him.
Countless rows of clothes racks were waiting for Qiao Zhen to choose from, and she felt a little dazzled just by looking at them.
"No... is it really necessary to have so many?"
Qiao Zhen swallowed hard, which made her, who was not nervous before, nervous.
"Yes, Miss Qiao, Mr. Lu specifically instructed that you should choose carefully."
The waiter on the side said very respectfully.
Qiao Zhen could only nod reluctantly, looking at the clothes on the hanger, and steeling herself to start picking them out.
It must be said that Lu Zheng has a good sense of style. Although he has a lot of clothes, every single one of them is a presentable piece of high quality.
Soon, Qiao Zhen's gaze fell on a white fishtail dress.
She took out the clothes and examined them closely, becoming increasingly aware of their beauty.
"This one will do."
Qiao Zhen made a firm decision: for such an important banquet, being too burdensome would be counterproductive.
