"have no idea!"
Li Rao shook her head, also extremely curious: "Do you want to come and take a look?"
"certainly……"
Wen Zhi was about to nod without thinking, but then she suddenly came to her senses and smiled, "No need. There are too many people around, and it wouldn't be good if we were discovered."
Unexpectedly rejected, Li Rao was taken aback: "Then..." are we just going to let them go like this?
She didn't say what she was going to say next, but at that moment, it was as if the two of them had a telepathic connection. Wen Zhi sneered, "Of course I won't let this go so easily. Go and take some pictures of them; I have a use for them!"
Her tone was cold, but Li Rao suddenly realized what she meant and a hint of joy appeared on her face.
"Okay, you wait for me!"
Meanwhile, Li Ruoke was unaware that she had been targeted by Li Rao.
After entering the restaurant, she and Lin Kangle found a quiet spot to sit down.
After ordering, the waiter turned and left, and Li Ruo clearly noticed that the waiter was intentionally or unintentionally rubbing against her thigh.
At first, she could still explain it away as an accident.
However, after several attempts, the other party not only did not restrain themselves, but became even more audacious.
She glanced at Lin Kangle, who looked completely innocent, then looked down at his obstructing feet and warned in a stern voice, "Young Mr. Lin, please have some self-respect!"
“Miss Li, don’t be so pretentious. I’m honoring you by agreeing to have dinner with you. What the Wen family can give you, I, Lin Kangle, can give you as well.”
Lin Kangle curled his lips into a smile, a hint of teasing in his eyes.
Upon hearing this, Li Ruo almost threw up her breakfast. Without thinking, she refused directly: "No, Mr. Lin, you are going to marry Miss Wen. I am not worthy of your position."
Upon hearing this, Lin Kangle's face immediately turned cold. He threatened in a low voice, "Aren't you afraid I'll expose your secrets?"
Before entering the restaurant, Li Ruo still harbored the illusion that she could have a talk with the man in front of her.
But now...
She sneered and said sarcastically, "I'd rather not see you, Lin Kangle, than Old Master Wen. You clearly can't give up the Wen family, yet you still want to seduce other women. Your behavior of eating what you don't have while eyeing what you don't have is truly disgusting!"
"If I were Miss Wen, I would probably want to stay as far away from you as possible. I would rather be a nun than be with a philandering man like you!"
After saying that, she didn't give Lin Kangle a chance to resist and stomped down on the foot that the other person had stretched out.
He turned and left while the man was wincing in pain.
The next day, inside the company.
The department organized a meeting where the new project was mentioned.
After the minister finished speaking, he asked, as is customary, "Vice Minister Li, is there anything you would like to add?"
"A little."
Li Ruo nodded and stood up: "This project is feasible, but the location isn't quite right. I think we should choose a place with high foot traffic."
Before the minister could even speak, someone stepped forward and said, "Hey, lady, do you think we're selling goods at the entrance of a supermarket?"
"I'm just stating the facts. If it's not feasible, you don't have to take my advice."
Upon hearing this, Li Ruo frowned slightly and said calmly.
"You make it sound so easy, but everyone in the company knows how capable you are, Vice Minister Li! You're incredibly capable!"
"I wouldn't be surprised if the company suddenly issued you a document appointing you as a department head or even a director one day."
Although the others did not speak, their eyes clearly showed that they agreed with what she said.
Li Ruo looked around and realized that no one wanted to stand up for her.
Even the department head, who usually dislikes employees gossiping, had an icy expression on his face.
Clearly, they took what that person said to heart.
Li Ruo was furious and warned, word by word, "Since when have you ever had the right to make decisions for the company? I advise you to keep your mouth shut. If the higher-ups hear even a whisper of this, no one can save you!"
Unexpectedly, the colleague not only didn't back down, but instead pressed his face against hers, as if he wouldn't stop until he caused a huge scene: "What else can you do besides seducing men? You can't even complete the cooperation with Lin's Group. How dare you give me any feedback? You've got too much nerve!"
"Since you're so good at charming people, why don't you take charge of this project as well? You're guaranteed to succeed!"
"you!"
Li Ruo's expression changed, and she was about to speak.
But seeing that the situation was getting out of control, the minister coughed and said sternly, "Alright, we're all from the same department, what's all the arguing about? If you keep arguing, pack your things and leave!"
Sure enough, after hearing this, everyone remained silent, like a quail.
"For this project, each group should submit a proposal to me."
"Everyone else, get out. Li Ruo, you stay."
After everyone left, the minister looked up at the silent Li Ruo and asked, "Do you know why everyone has such a strong opinion about you?"
Li Ru shook her head blankly, then nodded: "Because of rumors..."
"no."
The minister shook his head, took out his phone, opened the photo album, and pointed to one of the pictures: "You went out to dinner with President Lin yesterday, and now the photos have spread to every corner of the company. Even if you... cough cough, you should still be mindful of the impact."
Caught off guard by the sudden appearance of the photo, Li Ruo's eyes widened in shock.
