When Xu Xiangyang finished drinking and left, it was already eight o'clock in the evening.
He knew Cao Yajun had a lot on her mind, so he tried to avoid that topic.
Ultimately, how to resolve this is up to others.
Anyway, this project has nothing to do with him, so whatever.
He walked upstairs step by step and returned to his room.
Hearing the commotion, Zhang Lianhe from next door came out to take a look.
However, Xu Xiangyang went inside and locked the door, without even turning on the lights.
He didn't knock on the door. Xu Xiangyang had been busy with work lately, and the two of them hadn't had a proper conversation in a long time.
Thinking of this, Zhang Lianhe paused for a moment. Why should he talk to Xu Xiangyang so much?
Actually, he was sometimes afraid of Xu Xiangyang, always feeling that he couldn't see through him.
After a while, the feeling of dealing with a tiger for its skin grows stronger...
Zhang Lianhe sighed. What good would it do to negotiate with a tiger? Right now, only Xu Xiangyang could help him.
However, he had another concern: he was afraid that Xu Xiangyang would change his mind.
This is so infuriating!
Is it easy to earn more money? No, it's not!
Xu Xiangyang returned to his room and sat there, lost in thought. Today's meeting was indeed quite unexpected; he had never seen anything like it before.
The main problem is that Lu Qingshu doesn't give Lu Shuji any face; she's really bold.
He thought for a moment and guessed that Lu Qingshu was about the same age as Cao Yajun.
At the age of twenty-six or twenty-seven, why is he so immature?
People in this era are relatively more composed, and at the very least, they wouldn't show disrespect to the scribe in meetings with many outsiders.
Xu Xiangyang pursed his lips, deciding it was best not to meddle in other people's business.
Now that their project has been approved, construction can begin in the next couple of days.
The location for the factory has been chosen; now it's time to build it.
Xu Xiangyang didn't know who this was given to, and the blueprints should have existed long ago, as they had been there from the beginning.
He didn't think too much about it and focused on finishing his work first.
...
Cao Yajun stood on his way back upstairs, looked at the person in front of him, and asked calmly, "Is there something you need?"
There was a hint of impatience in his eyes, but he hid it very well. It was daytime, so the person opposite him didn't notice anything.
Lu Qingshu looked at him, her disgust undisguised.
"Do you think I'm alright?" She looked the person in front of her up and down, and continued, "Is this funny? Why did you have to follow Old Lu? You said you didn't care about a single penny from the Lu family before, but what's wrong now? You think the Lu family is so great now?"
When she first learned that her father, Lu Shiping, had an illegitimate child, she went almost insane.
Every day she would find something to do, especially on the day her mother was seriously ill and passed away, when Lu Shiping went to see Cao Yajun.
In front of outsiders, Lu Qingshu is always a positive, enthusiastic, and ambitious young woman.
However, she could never remain calm in front of Lu Shiping.
That's right, she just looked down on Cao Yajun, an illegitimate child...
Although it wasn't Cao Yajun's fault, nor was it her own, she just couldn't forget how pitiful her mother was on the day she passed away.
Looking at her angry eyes, Cao Yajun couldn't help but sneer, "Where I work is none of your business. Is this company owned by your Lu family?"
After saying that, he didn't want to explain further to Lu Qingshu and was about to leave.
But Lu Qingshu wouldn't let him leave and blocked his way.
"What, you think you can just run away when you're in the wrong? You're nothing special." She adopted a somewhat aggressive stance.
Cao Yajun narrowed his eyes and said coldly, "Do you think I'm someone to be trifled with? I won't hit you now, but that doesn't mean I'm a good person. You should go talk to Lu Shiping about this. You can't talk to me about it."
After saying that, he shoved Lu Qingshu aside and quickly left.
Lu Qingshu stumbled from the impact and took two steps back.
However, this time she didn't chase after him, but watched him leave.
Cao Yajun is right, it's all because of Lu Shiping!
She gritted her teeth, but didn't impulsively go looking for someone. She knew she had already done too many excessive things in the past two days.
Lu Shiping was clearly angry today; he had embarrassed Lu Shiping in front of so many people.
Lu Qingshu glanced at the sky, then turned and left.
Cao Yajun returned to his office and began flipping through documents incessantly.
Lu Shiping, who was sitting not far from him, looked at him and said, "Runner-up, there's no rush for work. This isn't a job we're in a hurry for anyway."
Upon hearing his words, Cao Yajun did not stop working, but continued writing.
Without looking up, he said, "Since they don't approve of this plan, let's make another one. If this one doesn't work, we'll move on to the next one. It will eventually be approved."
Lu Shiping sighed, "Qingshu has always been a very quiet child, but she gets all worked up when it comes to me. I'm sorry you had to suffer, I'll teach her a lesson later."
He emphasized the word "education" very much, which suggests he's serious about it.
That's true. After what happened today, even if he has a good temper, he can't be indulged anymore.
After all, he was a clerk; how could he let a junior keep disrespecting him?
Cao Yajun did not respond, but the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.
This wasn't something he started; it was something Lu Qingshu brought upon herself.
Since the two people don't like each other, one of them has to be taught a lesson.
The meeting continued the next morning, but Xu Xiangyang did not see Lu Qingshu.
Instead, Lu Qingshu took over as her superior.
That person only came on the first day, and hasn't shown up since.
However, Lu Shuji's proposal was approved immediately today. Although everyone's faces were expressionless, they were all somewhat fearful.
Lu Qingshu opposed the plan and didn't come back the next day. What about the others?
After the meeting ended, Xu Xiangyang glanced around the room. The leaders hadn't left yet; they probably still had something to say.
Cao Yajun looked at him and said, "Want to go out for a smoke?"
There are no supply and marketing cooperatives here, so everyone tries to save money on cigarettes whenever possible.
In other words, the two of them often went out to smoke, but their main purpose was still to chat.
Xu Xiangyang nodded and went to the side with him.
The two started smoking, and Cao Yajun spoke first.
"Lu Qingshu has been transferred, and I heard she's been giving you trouble?" he asked with a smile.
Xu Xiangyang paused for a moment, then replied, "How would I know what I did to offend her? Women are such strange creatures."
Actually, he had suspected before that Lu Qingshu's transfer had little to do with Lu Shiping.
After all, we're family. It's going too far to bring up work when we're having a disagreement.
At most, they'll receive some individual instruction; they won't be transferred.
But seeing Cao Yajun's eyes, Xu Xiangyang understood.
Lu Qingshu was transferred away, and he must have been the one who sabotaged Lu Shiping's career.
Otherwise, how could it have happened so suddenly, in just one night?
At the same time, Xu Xiangyang also began to be cautious, thinking that he might be transferred away one day.
He also wants to do whatever he wants...
