Looking at Gu Xijue's determined gaze, Qiao Zhen sighed: "Gu Xijue, many things have to be done in a certain order. I admit that I did have feelings for you when we were in school, but I've let go of them all these years ago. Please let go too, okay?"
Upon hearing this, Gu Xijue's face fell: "So that's how it is, you really rejected me..."
Qiao Zhen, however, appeared quite calm, as if she had long anticipated that she would reject him.
"No one's emotions are unchanging, and no one will always stand still and wait for you. If you are too far away from me, then I will also step back."
After saying that, Qiao Zhen ignored Gu Xijue and left.
When I got back to the company, it was already an hour late.
Seeing everyone working, Qiao Zhen quickly put down her bag and started working. But as soon as she sat down, Lu Zheng came out of his office and called her in.
Qiao Zhen couldn't help but frown.
It feels like every time I meet Gu Xijue, he calls me into his office and asks me all sorts of questions.
Sure enough, after entering the office, Lu Zheng suddenly pinned him against the door.
Qiao Zhen was startled, and then stammered, "What...what are you doing?"
Qiao Zhen's eyelashes trembled slightly in his arms, like a startled fawn.
Lu Zheng couldn't help but say, "I saw you having dinner with Gu Xijue at a restaurant today."
"real?"
Qiao Zhen was a little confused. Given his personality, if he saw her having dinner with Gu Xijue, he would definitely rush over immediately.
"Then why didn't you rush up and question me?"
Seeing Qiao Zhen's puzzled look, Lu Zheng couldn't help but laugh and said, "Why do you like me like this?"
“Of course not.” Qiao Zhen shook her head, then said, “I’m just wondering why you suddenly changed.”
"If you can change, why can't I?"
These words were loaded with meaning, and Qiao Zhen suddenly remembered what she had said when she rejected Gu Xijue earlier.
"You were eavesdropping on me?" Qiao Zhen shouted angrily.
Where is there any personal privacy?!
"What, is eavesdropping illegal?"
Lu Zheng asked, a faint smile still on his face.
"It's not illegal, okay?" Qiao Zhen was so angry at his shameless behavior that she puffed up her cheeks.
"Besides, you're my wife. What's wrong with me eavesdropping?"
Seeing Lu Zheng taking advantage of her kindness, Qiao Zhen also lost her temper and snorted coldly, saying, "Go ahead and eavesdrop, but you're still anonymous. Some people shouldn't try to define themselves too much."
However, Qiao Zhen could tell that Lu Zheng was being sarcastic towards her, but she wasn't angry.
Just then, Lu Zheng's phone rang, and he answered it without thinking.
"Mr. Lu, there's a meeting coming up soon..."
"What meeting?" Lu Zheng released Qiao Zhen's hand and asked as he walked inside.
Seeing this, Qiao Zhen perked up and couldn't help but listen carefully.
"It's about..."
The voice on the phone gradually decreased, as if Lu Zheng deliberately didn't want Qiao Zhen to hear it, and deliberately turned the volume down.
Seeing this, Qiao Zhen couldn't help but feel so angry that her teeth itched.
Good grief, we kept it from him!
After Lu Zheng finished his business, he leisurely hung up the phone and said, "Is there anything else?"
Qiao Zhen obviously had something to say: "What business were you discussing just now?"
"Just attending a meeting."
Hearing this, Qiao Zhen looked at him suspiciously. If it was a meeting, why did he deliberately hide it from her?
"So when are you going to attend the meeting?"
Lu Zheng raised an eyebrow and replied, "About three days from now. Are you going too?"
"I'd like to go, but do you agree?"
Qiao Zhen asked pointedly, "If Lu Zheng wanted him to go, he wouldn't have deliberately avoided her."
Upon hearing this, Lu Zheng remained silent and said, "You guessed correctly."
However, Qiao Zhen knew that she wouldn't get any answers by pressing him, so she could only nod and leave for the time being.
As it was almost time to leave work, Qiao Zhen kept a close eye on Lu Zheng's movements.
Sure enough, a few minutes later, Lu Zheng came out of the office, got into a car, and drove away.
Seeing this, Qiao Zhen immediately sneaked over to her assistant and pretended to be very natural: "Why did President Lu leave so early today?"
"Mr. Lu has gone to an important meeting, probably to discuss business. He won't be back until very late. Ms. Qiao, if you don't want to wait, you can go straight home."
The assistant, who had clearly been instructed by Lu Zheng beforehand, answered very naturally.
Seeing this, Qiao Zhen nodded knowingly, then felt a surge of joy: "Alright then, may I go in first?"
"This..." The assistant looked somewhat embarrassed. After all, there was nothing that prevented people from entering President Lu's office, especially since President Lu wasn't even there.
However, considering the relationship between Qiao Zhen and Lu Zheng, the assistant quickly greeted her with a smile, "Of course, Miss Qiao, please come in."
Qiao Zhen smiled and walked in. Looking at the desk in front of her, she glanced around and tiptoed to his side.
After turning on the computer, Qiao Zhen began to look through which files were scheduled to be executed in three days.
Sure enough, she found a file.
However, this document is very strange; it lacks the detailed content of the meeting. In other words, if you want to know, you have to go to the meeting in person.
Thinking of this, Qiao Zhen quickly took a picture of the address, planning to go and see it for herself when the time came.
After finishing his business, Lu Zheng didn't rush home but drove to the Lu residence.
