"I've already arranged your workstation in the office. It's right next to mine, very close. You can just come to me anytime if you need anything. It also has a great view of the sunrise."
Hearing this, Qiao Zhen nodded and looked at her workstation. Although it was indeed nice, she felt that something was missing from her original workstation.
Gu Xijue didn't notice Qiao Zhen's strange behavior, but instead helped her put all her things on the table one by one.
After settling everything in for her, Gu Xijue led Qiao Zhen to the center of the office and addressed the crowd.
"Everyone, standing next to me is Ms. Qiao Zhen, who will be your colleague from now on. Please take good care of her."
Although it was the first time everyone had met Qiao Zhen, they weren't stupid. Seeing Qiao Zhen's status in Gu Xijue's heart, everyone nodded in agreement.
"Miss Qiao is so beautiful and has such a great presence."
"Yes, yes, I wonder which young master I'll marry in the future."
As they talked, the employees kept glancing between the two of them.
Qiao Zhen awkwardly forced a smile.
Because Lu Zheng was always serious and unsmiling at the company, although the employees knew about the past shady dealings between Lu Zheng and Qiao Zhen, they didn't dare to discuss it so openly.
But seeing these employees discussing her all at once, Qiao Zhen couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable.
"Forget it, everyone can just know how to point it out..."
Qiao Zhen tugged at Gu Xijue's clothes and said in a somewhat unnatural tone.
Upon hearing this, Gu Xijue quickly snapped out of his daze, nodded to everyone, and then pulled Qiao Zhen into the office.
"Zhenzhen, what do you think of the environment?"
"It's great, I like everything about it."
Seeing Qiao Zhen's satisfied expression, Gu Xijue couldn't help but nod: "Since you like it, that's fine. I was worried you wouldn't like it."
"There's a cruise party next week. Would you like to come with me? We need a female companion."
Hearing Gu Xijue's words, Qiao Zhen couldn't help but purse her lips.
She instinctively wanted to refuse, but considering how much she was going to help him, she ultimately couldn't bring herself to say no.
"Okay, then you'll be my date."
Seeing that Qiao Zhen didn't seem to refuse, he couldn't help but laugh.
Hearing this, Qiao Zhen nodded and turned to leave.
This cruise ship banquet was attended by members of prestigious and royal families, so Qiao Zhen, as his date, definitely needed to wear something appropriate.
but……
Thinking about this, Qiao Zhen was in a dilemma.
She didn't seem to have a suitable dress.
The previous dresses were beautiful, but Qiao Zhen felt they weren't high-class enough.
Thinking of this, Qiao Zhen clicked her tongue in annoyance, but then suddenly remembered the luxury goods in Lu Zheng's house.
Those were all bought for him by Lu Zheng. They belonged to Qiao Zhen, but when Qiao Zhen changed companies, she didn't intend to take anything from Lu Zheng, so all those things were left at Lu Zheng's house.
Thinking of this, Qiao Zhen gritted her teeth and drove back to the Lu residence after get off work.
The car slowly came to a stop. Qiao Zhen got out of the car, took an empty suitcase, went inside, and looked around but didn't see anyone.
Just as Qiao Zhen walked into the room with a puzzled look, a sound suddenly came from behind her.
"You've already missed me?"
Startled by the voice, Qiao Zhen took two steps back and said angrily, "Can you please stop appearing out of nowhere? It's really scary!"
"Why did you bring a suitcase? Are you planning to stay here for the night?" Lu Zheng teased with a smile.
"I came to pick up something." Qiao Zhen pursed her lips, suppressing her guilty conscience.
"What are you taking?" Lu Zheng suddenly moved closer to Qiao Zhen, forcing her to retreat step by step, while tucking a stray strand of Qiao Zhen's hair under his nose and sniffing it.
Seeing Qiao Zhen cowering, Lu Zheng couldn't help but laugh and lean closer to her, saying, "What's wrong? You missed me, so you missed me."
"I don't miss you."
Qiao Zhen pouted and was about to walk in the opposite direction from Lu Zheng when she encountered a wall.
Looking to the side, Qiao Zhen realized that she had been cornered.
"I'm leaving."
Qiao Zhen clenched her fists and glared at Lu Zheng defiantly.
"If you want to leave, then leave. What's it to me?"
Lu Zheng, with his hands in his pockets, looked down at Qiao Zhen, but his tall frame completely blocked the corrected man in the corner.
...
Joe was speechless.
"Get out of the way."
Seeing that she couldn't move, Qiao Zhen became anxious. She pushed Lu Zheng away and, without thinking twice, went upstairs.
Pushing open the door, Qiao Zhen found that the city inside was the same as before, indicating that Lu Zheng hadn't allowed anyone else to come in.
"If Gu Xijue kicks you out, I can reluctantly let you stay for a day."
Gu Xijue smiled and said teasingly.
Qiao Zhen silently rolled her eyes at her, then went inside, took out her suitcase, and packed some valuable luxury items inside.
Lu Zheng raised his eyebrows, put his hands in his pockets, leaned against the door frame, and watched Qiao Zhen's actions without saying a word.
Seeing that Lu Zheng didn't make a move, Qiao Zhen gradually became more shameless. After sweeping away all the valuable luxury items in the room, Qiao Zhen discovered that she had actually filled a suitcase.
"Qiao Zhen, I didn't realize you were so greedy before?"
After watching Qiao Zhen finish her act, Lu Zheng finally spoke.
Qiao Zhen smiled and said, "I've always been greedy for money, but Mr. Lu, you're very wealthy, so you probably don't care about the little bit of money I took. After all, it was a gift you gave me before."
