Li Zhen and her group arrived at the first floor, where there was already a sea of people.
Originally, everyone was curious about the new vice president, and the PR department had raised everyone's appetite to the extreme. The Administrative Department lined everyone up on both sides, telling people when to applaud and when to stop.
There were many employees in Honghai Group. Zhang Xiya pulled them to squeeze to the very front of the crowd.
Wang Peng waited by the roadside with a group of senior executives, and Yu Sheng stood right next to him.
It was as if he had a sixth sense. Yu Sheng looked back and happened to meet Li Zhen's eyes.
Li Zhen hurriedly avoided his gaze.
After finding the best front row position, Zhang Xiya was extremely excited, "Why is the scene so big today? Not only did all the employees come down to welcome him, even President Wang came down in person."
Qiao Yi nodded, "I've been with the company for several years, and this is the first time. I think this new vice president must be a little different."
"President Yu looks so handsome in that suit today, standing there like a big star," Zhang Xiya was into good looks, the kind that couldn't take her eyes off handsome guys. She knew the gossip about handsome guys very timely. "But I heard that President Yu has been in a bad mood these past two days, and the entire Marketing Department didn't even dare to breathe loudly."
Meng Yuanjie: "The PR department made the new vice president sound so amazing. You guys say, can he be more handsome than President Yu? Although the new vice president's name sounds quite nice, more intimate than President Yu's."
"Do you know the new vice president's name?" Zhang Xiya asked.
Meng Yuanjie waved his phone, "The company just sent it in the big group chat."
Qiao Yi casually asked: "What's his name? How should we address him?"
Zhang Xiya opened the big group message to see, "Lu Yanming, President Lu."
"It does sound quite nice..." Qiao Yi was speaking when Li Zhen next to her suddenly leaned on her.
Li Zhen's hand trembled slightly as she held onto Qiao Yi's arm, and her voice was a little shaky, "It's nothing, my legs went soft for a moment..." Xiya, what did you say the new vice president's name was?"
"Lu Yanming, President Lu," Zhang Xiya said concernedly: "Did you not eat breakfast and get anemic?"
Li Zhen: "I'm fine..."
There were too many people with the same name.
How could she have thought for a moment that the top escort she was with last night would be Honghai's new executive vice president.
It must be because she didn't sleep well last night.
And maybe their names just sounded the same.
Li Zhen stood up straight, took out her phone, and was about to look up the characters of the new vice president's name.
Next to her came the low but clear murmur of her colleagues.
"Is that the Maybach?"
"The car stopped, yes it is, the vice president's assistant got out to open the door for him."
"The assistant is also very handsome!"
Li Zhen's heart thumped wildly. She thought, it can't be him.
There were too many people who liked to drive Maybachs.
The top escort who had pestered her all night, washed her face and hands and made breakfast for her in the morning, and argued with her fiercely over 50,000 yuan escort fee with her.
He could never be Honghai's second in command with tens of thousands of employees under him.
Same name and same car, that's all.
Not far away, the rear door of the jet black Maybach had already opened, and shiny designer leather shoes landed on the ground. The long and straight powerful legs steadied the ground.
The nearly 1.9-meter tall figure carried a full sense of oppression. The white shirt, paired with a gentleman's light gray vest, his right arm resting on a suit jacket of the same color series, his temperament was restrained and noble.
The moment he appeared, there was an uncontrollable gasp all around.
A few seconds later, the shocked discussion, as fine as gnats and mosquitoes, quickly spread.
"Gold wire glasses! Formal vest! My heart!"
"The PR department really wasn't exaggerating, my legs are already soft!"
"Dream lover now has a face!"
"Ahhh! He's not the vice president, he's my future husband!"
Wang Peng hurried up to chat with him intimately and accompanied him forward.
There was a burst of warm, excited applause all around.
Li Zhen didn't dare look up at the man walking over. She wanted to open the company group chat to see the name, hoping the characters were different, then it must not be him.
But she couldn't click accurately at all.
Her hands were messy, her heart was messy, listening to Zhang Xiya's muffled prairie dog screams "The vice president is so handsome I'm about to faint", her mind went blank.
She shouldn't be here. As long as she didn't open the box, she wouldn't need to know what was inside.
She turned to try and escape, but she forgot her legs had already gone soft. With a little movement, she lost her last bit of support and lurched forward.
"Be careful."
Li Zhen's arm was draped over another firm, lean arm.
The familiar two words, the familiar low voice line, even the other person's body temperature, were all intimately and heart-thumpingly hot.
In an instant, everyone's eyes fell on the intertwined arms, and the applause stopped.
Instant silence.
The gazes cast over showed envy, jealousy, and surprise.
Li Zhen looked up and met the other's clean, cold, light eyes. Her fair forehead instantly broke out in fine sweat, and her voice trembled badly, "President Lu?"
Lu Yanming smiled lightly, and said in a low voice that only the two of them could hear, "No need to be so polite, just call me Little Lu."
Snap.
Li Zhen heard the sound of her nerves breaking.
She had really forced herself on her company's new vice president last night!
It was over.
The next second, a big hand pulled Li Zhen's wrist away from Lu Yanming's arm.
It was Yu Sheng.
Yu Sheng held her arm with one hand, and naturally supported her waist with the other, gently bearing her weight, "President Lu, this colleague is the company's hand model. Recently the company has launched many new products, and colleagues from the Advertising Department have been working overtime for several consecutive days without rest."
Lu Yanming's gaze slid over the hand Yu Sheng had around her waist.
He looked at Li Zhen, his light eyes shining brightly, "Overwork should be avoided. You still have to sleep early at night, so you don't weaken your body."
After speaking, he turned and left.
Everyone heard it as the new vice president's caring words for his employee.
But Li Zhen felt her scalp tingle as she recalled the fragmented scenes from last night, when she had pressed him down and forced him to want her...
What was originally a monetary transaction had now become her maliciously forcing herself on him.
Seeing the new vice president leave, Zhang Xiya and the others hurried over.
"Little Zhen Zhen, are you alright?"
"You should take the day off and rest today."
"Li Zhen..."
Li Zhen waved her hand, her face pale, "You guys go upstairs first, I'll be fine after taking a break."
Zhang Xiya still wanted to say something, but Qiao Yi pulled her and glanced at Yu Sheng, whispering, "With President Yu here, stop worrying pointlessly..."
Zhang Xiya suddenly realized, and quickly slipped away with everyone.
With everyone gone, Yu Sheng was less restrained with his words, "This time you really need to learn your lesson about not drinking so much in the future."
Yu Sheng had been worried yesterday when he was done with work and found that the server hadn't stayed with her. He hurriedly called her, only to get a "get lost". Hearing her strong voice, he at least knew she was safe.
Li Zhen's mind was a mess, and didn't pay any attention to what Yu Sheng was saying.
Seeing her still spaced out, Yu Sheng thought she was hungover and feeling terrible. He brought her closer into his embrace as they walked forward.
As Lu Yanming walked into the lobby and was about to turn into the elevator hall, he glanced back at the two.
