"You think too highly of yourself."
Lu Zheng turned around, his teasing expression leaving Qiao Zhen speechless.
"Since you look down on me, why do you keep me trapped by your side?"
Upon hearing this, Lu Zheng merely gave a faint, cold smile and slowly walked to Qiao Zhen's side.
"Because of you, I am deeply sinful."
Upon hearing this, Qiao Zhen's pupils contracted, and she looked at Lu Zheng in disbelief.
"Then tell me, what sins have I committed?"
"I won't tell you," Lu Zheng said with a smile as he walked away. "You can spend your whole life immersed in doubt."
Watching Lu Zheng's departing figure, Qiao Zhen clenched her fists tightly.
She stormed out of Lu Zheng's office, only to realize it was almost time to leave work.
She lost all interest in working, packed her things and prepared to leave, but then suddenly heard a commotion.
"It looks like there's a fight going on, let's go check it out."
Hearing the gossipy tone of her colleagues around her, she frowned. Perhaps it was just her first instinct, but Qiao Zhen unconsciously followed along.
Soon, she saw a group of people gathered there. Qiao Zhen took a few quick steps before she could see who the main character was.
"You bitch, you don't appreciate my kindness. You've ruined my project. Is this how you say you can definitely close the deal?"
Cui Yue grabbed Song Shiyi's hair with one hand and picked up a vase next to her with the other, smashing it hard on Song Shiyi's head.
The main reason was that Qiao Zhen disliked Song Shiyi, and she couldn't help but be shocked by the scene.
Regardless, Song Shiyi wasn't guilty of any heinous crimes, yet she was beaten like that, which is enough to show that Cui Yue isn't a man.
Song Shiyi wanted to resist, but how could a weak woman like her beat a man?
He was slapped to the side by Cui Yue, his head hitting the edge of the table hard, and blood immediately flowed out.
"Blood...blood!"
Upon seeing this, the surrounding people scattered in fright, no longer caring about watching the spectacle, as they were also afraid that they would be the next ones to be beaten.
Qiao Zhen frowned, looking at Song Shiyi bleeding profusely. She walked resolutely to Song Shiyi's side and looked coldly at Cui Yue.
"Stop it. This is Lu Group's territory. Continuing to fight will not do you any good."
When Cui Yue saw Qiao Zhen in front of him, he was even angrier, but at this moment, reason prevailed over emotion.
"Hmph, don't pretend to be a good guy. If it weren't for the legal consequences of killing someone, I would have beaten this bitch to death today!"
Hearing Cui Yue's harsh words, Qiao Zhen remained unmoved and coldly looked at him, saying, "Take care."
After saying that, Qiao Zhen quickly dialed the emergency number. Soon after, the ambulance arrived and carried Song Shiyi, who was bleeding from her head, onto a stretcher.
Qiao Zhen had already done everything she could and naturally didn't want to get involved in what happened next, so she prepared to leave the scene.
"Qiao Zhen."
A girl suddenly called out to her.
Qiao Zhen turned around and saw the person in front of her, her pupils shrinking involuntarily.
"Tang Yue?"
Qiao Zhen was very curious about how she ended up here.
Tang Yue seemed to know what Qiao Zhen wanted to ask, and simply walked to her side with a smile and greeted her.
"You must be surprised to see me, but I'm now a full-time employee of this company, so please take good care of me."
As she spoke, Qiao Zhen carefully examined Tang Yue and found that she was no different from before the Tang family went bankrupt. This reminded her of what Gu Xijue had said earlier.
"It seems that Gu Xijue is treating you well."
Unexpectedly, Tang Yue frowned in disgust upon hearing this: "Who told you that Gu Xijue prepared this outfit for me?"
"Isn't it him?" Qiao Zhen frowned. Who else could it be but him?
"Hmph." Tang Yue sneered coldly, then scoffed, "You trust Gu Xijue too much. But it's your freedom to trust whomever you want, and I won't interfere."
Hearing this, Qiao Zhen was completely confused, but she didn't want to ask Tang Yue directly.
"It's time to leave work, Miss Qiao, I'll be going now."
Qiao Zhen stared thoughtfully at Tang Yue's departing figure.
If Tang Yue wants to get back to work here, she'll definitely have to win over Lu Zheng.
But... what methods were used?
With this question in mind, Qiao Zhen returned home, only to be told by the maid that Lu Zheng had gone out to discuss business that evening and would not be back until very late.
Upon hearing these words, Qiao Zhen's heart suddenly began to pound.
She took a deep breath and then went to the study where Lu Zheng often worked.
Qiao Zhen doesn't come here often because this is Lu Zheng's room, and she feels that personal privacy is more important.
But things are different now. More than anything else, she wants to find her lost memories.
Finding the study locked, Qiao Zhen secretly obtained a master key from the maid and entered the study.
Lu Zheng's rooms are all minimalist in style, and his study is no exception. Pushing open the door and entering, the very simple decoration made Qiao Zhen sigh.
Qiao Zhen had never been inside before and didn't know how big the study was. Once inside, she discovered that the study was not only spacious but also had a complex structure, with a corner at the back.
Then she noticed a box in the room containing an old cell phone.
Thinking of the text message Gu Xijue mentioned that Lu Zheng had sent, Qiao Zhen's heart skipped a beat. She quickly turned on her phone, only to find that it was out of battery.
Qiao Zhen quickly found the charger again, and while her phone was charging, she began searching the room again.
This search led her to a photo album.
The album contained only a few photos. Qiao Zhen looked at the first one, which was a group photo of the team members.
