Chapter 14 How scared and sad must that little fool be?
Lu Shiyan suddenly opened his eyes, stood up, packed himself up, walked out of the lounge, and pressed the intercom.
Li Yan came in quickly, "Mr. Lu, are you looking for me?"
Lu Shiyan's bloodshot eyes were filled with melancholy. He put down his coffee cup, walked out, and said calmly with lowered eyes, "Go check the document from yesterday to see if it was drawn by Ah Ci."
Li Yan's serious face showed no surprise. He took out his phone and sent a captured surveillance video to Lu Shiyan, then emphasized, "Mr. Lu, this wasn't drawn by the Second Young Master."
Ever since Zhou Jichuan learned that Lu Shiyan had flown abroad overnight to deal with the damaged documents and then took the trouble to rush back to the company to handle official business, the secret pride and joy in his heart instantly disappeared, and what came over him was a trace of heartache and guilt.
"Jichuan, President Lu is looking for you."
Li Yan glanced at Zhou Jichuan, who had been absent-minded since the beginning of the morning. After all, they had worked together for so many years. Who would have thought that he would do such a stupid thing that would ruin his future?
A hint of regret could not help but appear in his deep eyes, but it was fleeting.
Zhou Jichuan's deep eyes suddenly looked at him, his expression showing obvious uneasiness and anxiety, "Li Yan, what does Mr. Lu want to see me about?"
Li Yan didn't answer him directly, but patted his shoulder and said, "Go quickly. Mr. Lu doesn't like to wait for people."
Zhou Jichuan's indifferent pupils trembled. Could it be that Mr. Lu knew about what happened yesterday?
No, impossible!
He was the one who exposed the incident last night at the perfect time. It was almost time to get off work, and in order to avoid arousing suspicion, he left work with his colleagues. He deleted all other suspicious clues in the company in advance.
At that time, Lu Shiyan was still on the plane returning to China. Besides, he and Li Yan had followed Lu Shiyan for so many years, and Lu Shiyan had always adhered to the principle of not employing people if you doubt them, and trusting people if you employ them.
This was also the reason why Lu Shiyan was absolutely certain that it was Fu Cigan after the incident yesterday.
With such a lucky mentality, Zhou Jichuan's face relaxed slightly. He sorted out his confused thoughts and quickly walked into Lu Shiyan's office.
In the office, Lu Shiyan faced him sideways, his arm resting on the desk, a cigarette between his slender jade-like fingertips. The flickering cigarette reflected his usually dignified and solemn face, and also made his whole body seem shrouded in a layer of haze.
The color of his eyes grew darker and darker, like an abyss from which it was impossible to escape.
Zhou Jichuan's eyes flashed with a subtle admiration, and then he immediately lowered his eyes and asked respectfully: "Mr. Lu, are you looking for me?"
Lu Shiyan turned around with a complicated expression and said in a slow voice, "Jichuan, how many years have you followed me?"
Zhou Jichuan's heart sank suddenly, and a bad premonition suddenly arose in his heart, but he still tried to suppress the panic in his heart, "It's been five years. Ever since President Lu took over the Lu Group, Li Yan and I have been assigned to President Lu by the old President Lu."
"It's been so many years?" Lu Shiyan seemed to be reminiscing about the past.
But Zhou Jichuan knew that Lu Shiyan would never do such a boring thing. He subconsciously wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and did not dare to look at Lu Shiyan's deep and sharp eyes that seemed to be able to see through people's hearts.
Lu Shiyan snuffed out his cigarette and placed the video on his phone in front of Zhou Jichuan. His bloodshot eyes held a frightening darkness, "Why are you doing this?"
In the surveillance video, he took advantage of Fu Ci spinning a pen to quietly take the important document and went straight to the toilet to stay there for a few minutes. Usually, the pens that Lu Shiyan used to sign were prepared by him, the secretary, so he had some extra.
After coming out of the bathroom, he quietly placed the documents on Li Yan's desk again.
Zhou Jichuan thought he had done it perfectly, but he didn't expect it to be exposed so quickly. His pupils constricted, and his handsome face turned pale. He muttered to himself, "How is this possible?"
"I clearly deleted the surveillance footage this morning."
Lu Shiyan cleared up his doubts, "This is the surveillance video I retrieved after get off work last night."
"Jichuan, you and Li Yan have been with me for so many years. Although I have been very strict with you, I have never treated you unfairly."
"So I never doubted you yesterday."
Lu Shiyan asked with a cold look in his eyes, "Aci has no grudge against you. I can't understand why you would want to frame him."
Zhou Jichuan's face was pale, his throat seemed to be clogged with cotton wool, and even breathing was stinging. He raised his scarlet eyes and angrily expressed all his dissatisfaction with Fu Cie, "Because that idiot deserved it!"
"He has no self-awareness at all. He keeps pestering you, Mr. Lu, shamelessly. I know you're well-mannered and well-educated, but you're only letting him pester you out of respect for Mr. Lu."
"It would have been fine if you had been annoying him before, but yesterday you actually made an exception and went to see him, and even transferred two receptionists who had ridiculed him."
"What's even more outrageous is that you actually let him into your office to eat and rest together..."
"Do you know that doing this will only make that fool pester you even more?"
"So, Mr. Lu, I did what you couldn't bear to do. I just want you to continue to hate that idiot and keep him away from you."
Lu Shiyan did not miss the paranoia and a hint of admiration in his eyes, he just thought he was ridiculous.
But a sudden panic flashed through my heart. Was he also hysterical yesterday when I misunderstood that A Ci had damaged important documents and refused to admit his mistake?
How scared and sad must that little fool Fu Ci be at that time?
His eyes gradually became icy and piercing, as if lurking with a powerful thunderbolt. A mocking smile slowly curled up the corners of his mouth. "You said Ah Ci has no self-awareness, but I think you are the one who truly has no self-awareness, right?"
"Aci is my younger brother. Whether I hate him or am close to him is not something you, as a secretary, should be in charge of or decide."
"And you keep saying you're doing this for my own good?"
"You're doing this for my own good, so you're using this dirty trick to damage important company documents and frame a simple-minded, clueless fool?"
"Then I am truly unworthy of your kindness."
Lu Shiyan pressed the intercom and said, "Come in." Soon Li Yan came in with the security department.
Lu Shiyan said mercilessly: "Zhou Jichuan, you are officially fired. Take your things and leave Lu's now."
Zhou Jichuan's legs felt weak. He had studied hard for so many years and finally got into a prestigious university and joined Lu, a leading enterprise in North City. After five years of hard work, he finally reached a high position and had an annual salary of one million. In the end, he failed because of a momentary lapse of judgment.
In the end, Zhou Jichuan was carried out by security. After being fired by Lu's company, no big company in the industry would dare to hire him anymore.
