Speaking of this, the butler slapped his thigh excitedly.
"No wonder the police officer felt sorry for her. This girl is really kind-hearted. She was worried that giving money directly would hurt Lawyer Lu's self-esteem, so she bought alcohol for several months in a row and put all the commission on Lawyer Lu's head. But no matter how much money she got, the club took the lion's share. The girl didn't understand and thought that at least half of it went to Lawyer Lu."
He became more and more agitated as he spoke, “Later, the girl was wronged by her family, so she flew to Liangcheng to find Lawyer Lu. Actually, she just wanted to find someone to confide in, but Lawyer Lu didn’t even glance at her and had her thrown out of the private room.”
Thrown out of the private room...
A scene flashed through Song Nuan's mind, too fast for her to catch.
She didn't seem to care, only curving her lips slightly as she casually remarked, "Then Ning Jiaojiao is quite infatuated with him."
She didn't even realize the slight hint of jealousy in her voice when she said this.
The housekeeper said with some regret, "It's a pity. I think Attorney Lu really doesn't have those kinds of feelings for her. It's just a pity that the young girl is only having wishful thinking."
"I'm full." Song Nuan put down her spoon, left with the words "Going to the company," and disappeared.
There was still more than half of the breakfast left on the table. The housekeeper wondered why Song Nuan's appetite had decreased, and then instructed the servants to clean up what Song Nuan had not finished eating.
Song Nuan went straight to the Qin family.
Due to the exposure of toxic materials, the Qin family has been embroiled in social news. Today's meeting of the special task force was attended by an entire public relations department, and the meeting room was packed.
Song Nuan arrived late, but she wasn't late.
The only two empty seats were quite conspicuous; one was hers, and the other was...
"Hey, why hasn't Attorney Lu arrived yet?"
Suddenly someone spoke up; it was Director Xu from the public relations department.
He looked at Song Nuan, then glanced at the time, somewhat puzzled. "President Song, isn't Attorney Lu coming today? I found some posts and was thinking of asking him if I could file a lawsuit for defamation."
"Although the public opinion has been brought under control, the police have not yet released any results, and the company does not have any solid evidence. If we can successfully report these people for defamation and spreading rumors, it can reverse the public opinion to some extent."
"But now that Attorney Lu isn't here, how can we move forward..."
How could Song Nuan know whether he wasn't coming or not?
Perhaps he went to resolve Ning Jiaojiao's troubles.
From the head of the table, Qin Yuchuan looked displeased. "Is the Qin family, such a large company, going to collapse without Lu Ziyang? Can't the legal department find anyone who can solve your problem?"
The legal director gave an awkward twitch of his lips.
Of the dozens of people in the legal department of such a large company as the Qin family, not one is as capable as Lu Ziyang.
After composing herself, Song Nuan said in a formal tone, "He has something come up. Director Xu, if it involves legal matters, you should first ask the legal department."
Director Xu could only agree.
This morning, Qin's stock price dropped a few points again.
Qin Yuchuan slammed his pen on the table with a loud bang, his anger evident. "Didn't you say the public opinion was under control? Then what's going on with the stock market?"
Director Xu projected the various data onto the screen. "Vice President, we have indeed brought it under control. However, although the topic is not currently on the hot list, it is still on the top news list and could launch a counterattack at any time. To completely suppress it, we can only wait for the police to release their results."
Upon hearing this, Qin Yuchuan turned to Zheng Siyuan with a grim face, "What's the situation with the police?"
Zheng Siyuan: "The suspect has been identified, and the results should be available soon."
Qin Yuchuan's expression softened somewhat.
The meeting ended at noon, having lasted the entire morning.
A group of people rushed out of the conference room. Song Nuan slowly packed her things when Director Xu suddenly approached her and asked, "President Song, could you help me contact Attorney Lu?"
"What's wrong?"
Director Xu chuckled awkwardly, “Those people in the legal department aren’t part of the special task force, so getting their cooperation is difficult. Instead of wasting time on shirking responsibility, it’s better to just ask Attorney Lu to resolve this.”
This is a project, so we can't be careless.
Song Nuan took out her phone and dialed Lu Ziyang's number. It rang several times before the other party answered.
"Warmth." His voice was low and hoarse.
It sounds like you didn't sleep well last night.
Song Nuan asked, "The public relations department has a few documents they want you to look at. When are you coming to the company?"
After a few seconds of silence, the man's deep, pleasant voice rang out, "I'm at the police station. I have some tricky business to deal with. If the documents are urgent, could you bring them over?"
"I'm busy too," Song Nuan refused without even thinking.
Finally, she said, "Give me your location, and I'll have someone from the public relations department come find you."
Lu Ziyang clicked his tongue, a hint of displeasure in his voice, but he still sent the location.
After hanging up the phone, Director Xu thanked him and then pressed his advantage, asking, "President Song, you and Attorney Lu are on good terms. If you're free...would you mind making a trip?"
“After all, you’re more familiar with factory matters,” he said with a fawning smile.
Song Nuan stared at him silently for a few seconds. Director Xu felt uneasy under her gaze and was about to take back what he had just said when Song Nuan suddenly said coldly, "Give me the documents."
Director Xu hurriedly handed it over, not forgetting to fawn over him, saying, "President Song, thank you for your hard work!"
Passing by the vice president's office, Song Nuan overheard Zheng Siyuan reporting to Qin Yuchuan, "Vice President, the police have informed us that they have apprehended the suspect. Would you like to go there in person?"
Qin Yuchuan didn't even lift his eyelids. "I'm busy."
Since it was no small matter, and he hadn't given any instructions, Zheng Siyuan tentatively said, "Then Director Xu and I will go over and find out what's going on."
Director Xu, who was passing by behind Song Nuan, thought: "?"
He was in a hurry to have lunch, how come he has another job to do!
Song Nuan glanced at him indifferently, then pushed the door open and said, "I'll go."
Director Xu hurriedly said, "Yes, yes, it just so happens that Attorney Lu is at the police station, so we can go together to interrogate the criminals."
Qin Yuchuan suddenly looked up.
Upon hearing Lu Ziyang's name, his aura sharpened.
"Let Assistant Zheng and Director Xu go. What are you doing getting involved?" he said coldly. "Don't forget what I told you last night. Are you in such a hurry to cling to me?"
Song Nuan retorted, "The prisoner's confession concerns the life and death of the Qin family, yet you remain so calm."
The atmosphere is off.
Everyone keeps their eyes down, their noses closed, and their minds at ease.
Director Xu rolled his eyes, then suddenly said in a serious tone, "Actually, the vice president can go to the police station with President Song."
Song Nuan shot him a cold look.
Director Xu pretended not to know.
"The police investigation results are still unknown and there are risks. The two of them going to the police station together, taking some photos with the media, and marketing themselves as an affectionate couple can help establish their public image. This can not only completely resolve the aftershocks of the cheating scandal, but also divert netizens' attention from the toxic materials if the police investigation results are unfavorable to the company."
Director Xu grinned obsequiously, "A win-win situation."
Song Nuan remained silent.
Qin Yuchuan remained silent.
For a moment, I couldn't tell what their attitudes were.
Suddenly, Song Nuan's red lips parted slightly: "I have no objection."
