Chapter 650 You are very dedicated
"Liang Sibo." Lu Dai introduced him to Zhou Qisheng generously: "Lu's newly hired head of the investment department."
Liang Sibo smiled and nodded at Zhou Qisheng, "Hello."
Zhou Qisheng also smiled at him politely, then looked at Shen Zheng and found that Shen Zheng's face was a little gloomy - it was true that no one could remain calm when seeing his wife sitting and eating with another man.
What's more, the two of them looked like they were arguing.
"Then you guys chat, we'll leave first." Zhou Qisheng felt it would be more appropriate to separate the two of them now. After informing Lu Dai, he took Shen Zheng to the second floor.
The two sat down in the private room. When ordering, Shen Zheng didn't say a word the whole time. Zhou Qisheng knew that he was probably not in the mood to order, so he just ordered a few dishes and let the waiter go.
"Did you have a fight with Lu Dai?" Zhou Qisheng asked, observing Shen Zheng's expression.
Shen Zheng shook his head.
Zhou Qisheng: "You don't look like you haven't quarreled."
Shen Zheng: "It can't be considered a quarrel, we have always had problems."
Zhou Qisheng sighed, "Lu Dai is a nice person. Since you're already married, why don't you try to get along well with her? Maybe you can develop some feelings for her."
Shen Zheng: "If it can be cultivated, it is definitely not love."
Zhou Qisheng: "How old are you? Why are you still pursuing this? Even a marriage with love may not last long."
It seems a bit ridiculous for a man in his early thirties to talk about love all the time. What's more, Shen Zheng has experienced so many turbulence and hardships before. He should know best that love is unreliable. If a couple relies solely on love to maintain their relationship, it will be exhausting.
Chen Zheng: "It's not me who's pursuing you." It's her.
Zhou Qisheng heard the hidden meaning: "So, this is the reason for your disagreement now?"
Shen Zheng: "I can't give her what she wants, and I don't want to delay her."
Zhou Qisheng: "Don't tell me you told her that directly."
Shen Zheng: "This is the truth."
"But it's also quite hurtful to one's self-esteem." Zhou Qisheng said, "Lu Dai has helped you a lot, you should..."
"It's because she has helped me a lot that I don't want to delay her." Shen Zheng rubbed his eyebrows. "She is indeed very good and shouldn't waste her time on me. She is only 28 years old this year and deserves someone better."
Zhou Qisheng: "Whether it's worth it or not is not up to you to decide."
Love is like drinking water. It is obvious that Lu Dai does not want a better person.
"If she's with that man downstairs now, can you really not care at all?" Zhou Qisheng looked at Shen Zheng sharply, "I don't think so."
"It's just possessiveness. Isn't this a common problem among men?" Shen Zheng did not deny his emotions.
He felt quite uncomfortable when he saw Lu Dai and Liang Sibo chatting so happily just now - he remembered Liang Sibo's name, after all, he had heard of it last night and even glanced at their chat history.
Lu Dai and Liang Sibo already knew each other, and Zhong Qian wanted to bring them together. Now Liang Sibo has joined Lu's company, so they have everything going for them. Lu Dai seems to like being with him, so maybe she will really fall in love with someone else after a while.
Thinking of this possibility, Shen Zheng felt relieved on the one hand, but also a little annoyed on the other.
"Possessiveness varies from person to person," Zhou Qisheng said. "If it's someone insignificant and you have no feelings for them at all, I probably won't feel possessive."
"What happened between you and Cen Sixue is in the past. It's time to move on." Zhou Qisheng filled his glass with water. "No matter why she married Shen Xun in the first place, no matter how many difficulties she had, you can't go back. It's not your responsibility that you have come to this point. You have done your best for her. All we can say is that everyone has their own destiny."
"I haven't thought about having anything else to do with her." Shen Zheng nodded. "I'm married to Lu Dai. I still know my basic responsibilities and bottom line."
——
After the little incident just now, Lu Dai and Liang Sibo were not affected too much. After they finished their meal together, Lu Dai and Liang Sibo returned to the company together. Liang Sibo went through the onboarding process with the HRBP and left first. He will come to work next week.
Lu Dai was very busy in the next few working days, and she and Shen Zheng had little time to meet.
We sleep in separate rooms at night and only see each other at breakfast. We exchange a few words and that's it. We don't quarrel, but it's always dead silent.
On Friday afternoon, Lu Dai received a call from the Lu family. Her father, Lu Boyuan, asked her to bring Chen Zheng back for dinner, saying that he hadn't seen them for a long time.
Lu Dai calculated on her fingers and realized that she had not been home for more than a month - she was too busy at the end of the year and neglected it.
She had originally planned to go back and have dinner with the two elders after the annual meeting, but she and Shen Zheng had a big fight, so the trip was put on hold.
If she wants to go back to the Lu family, she must be with Chen Zheng. Apart from anything else, Lu Dai doesn't want her parents to worry about her affairs at their age, so no matter what the current situation between her and Chen Zheng is, she has to take him back.
Fortunately, Lu Dai has a strong psychological quality and she doesn't feel embarrassed about many things.
Therefore, after finishing the phone call with Lu Boyuan, Lu Dai immediately sent a WeChat message to Shen Zheng.
Just like at work, be straightforward and clear about your needs: [Pick me up at Lu's at 6pm. I'll be back at my parents' for dinner tonight. You know the drill.]
Not long after, Shen Zheng's reply arrived: [OK.]
Lu Dai threw her phone aside and continued working.
…
It took me a long time to read the last document, and after I signed it, it was already five minutes past six.
Lu Dai glanced at the time and remembered the appointment she had made with Chen Zheng. She immediately stood up, hurriedly packed up her things, and walked out in her high heels.
As soon as Lu Dai opened the office door, she bumped into Shen Zheng who was standing at the door and fell into him.
Shen Zheng held her waist and looked down at her calf: "You didn't sprain your ankle, did you?"
"It's okay." Lu Dai stepped out of his arms and adjusted her collar. "Why are you here?"
Shen Zheng: "Didn't you ask me to pick you up?"
Lu Dai: "You were waiting in the garage before."
Shen Zheng: "I came a little early today."
Lu Dai said, "Oh," and asked, "Your car or mine?"
"Open mine." Chen Zheng took her arm and led her out naturally.
He was quite gentle when he did these actions, but Lu Dai was very glad in her mind that Shen Zheng was just doing his duty - just as she had said in her WeChat message before, when he returned to the Lu family, he knew what to do.
Her parents wanted to see them living in harmony and respect each other, so he always did his best.
Not only that, he would also pick up food and peel shrimps for her at the dinner table, showing his care and consideration.
In the elevator, Lu Dai looked down at the two people holding hands and suddenly laughed out loud.
Shen Zheng was confused by her smile: "What's wrong?"
Lu Dai: "You are very dedicated."
