Zhao Yan forced an awkward laugh and changed the subject, "Wow, the weather is really hot today. Summer in Jin City isn't summer, it's an oven!"
Tian Pingwei reached out and felt the air conditioner vent, "The air conditioning is on in the car, Manager Zhao."
Zhao Yan gritted his back teeth!
He took out his phone and sent a message, "Sis, do you want your silly son or your good little brother? You choose one."
"Drive," Yu Sheng coldly spoke from the backseat.
"Yes, President Yu," Tian Pingwei responded.
The car drove past the building, brushing shoulders with the two people on the side of the road.
Yu Sheng looked out the window.
At that moment, his eyes met Lu Yanming's.
Just one glance, the car sped by swiftly.
Yu Sheng retracted his gaze, his tone cold, "You said there was a group chat last time, what has it been talking about recently?"
Zhao Yan's back stiffened.
The past two days, the group chat had been talking about President Lu sending Li Zhen home from the IF Mall at night.
"Nothing much, still just President Lu and Qiao Yi's affairs, President Lu probably just asked Li Zhen to help deliver coffee to Qiao Yi earlier," Zhao Yan quietly searched his conscience.
It hurt a little.
Yu Sheng didn't ask further. His dark eyes closed slightly as he lightly leaned back in his seat, "Wake me when we get there."
Li Zhen carried the coffee back to the office.
Her co-workers were all taking their lunch breaks at their desks. Li Zhen reclined her chair into a laying position and took a nap too.
In her drowsiness, someone tapped her shoulder, "Li Zhen."
Li Zhen opened her eyes, above her was a pair of charming eyes, coldly staring at her.
It was Jiang Keyan.
Jiang Kening's older sister, the big shot in the PR department.
Li Zhen sat up, still dazed from sleep, "Manager Jiang."
Li Zhen's eyes were rubbed red like a pair of crescent moons, beautifully blossoming like a bashful red rose.
Jiang Keyan scoffed inwardly, Li Zhen was only able to hook Yu Sheng with her fox-like charm, causing her younger sister to still be detained right now.
"Li Zhen, I want to chat with you about something, do you have five minutes?" Jiang Keyan asked with a smile, but her eyes were very cold.
Li Zhen looked at the time, it was already 2pm, lunch break was over, and her co-workers were gradually waking up and getting ready to work.
Li Zhen didn't want others to see Jiang Keyan harassing her, so she readily stood up, "Okay."
The two went to the hallway by the office door.
Jiang Keyan got straight to the point, "Li Zhen, name your price."
Jiang Keyan had an air of confidence, which looked very irritating in Li Zhen's eyes.
Li Zhen pretended not to understand, "What price? I don't know what you mean."
Jiang Keyan frowned.
For the past two days, she had contacted all sides for her sister's matter. According to reason, this shouldn't have been a big deal, but strangely, the responses she got from all parties were uniformly: It's already set in stone, nothing can be done.
She had pleaded with the General Manager of the Legal Department several times, losing face.
Only then did he vaguely tell her: "The lawsuit this time was filed under the company's name, the top management of the company has a very firm stance. If you really want to save your sister, perhaps the best approach would be to find Li Zhen and have her write a letter of understanding to the police station."
"Li Zhen, it was wrong of my sister before, but it's not worth all this. Just name your price for a letter of understanding, and she can come out sooner," Jiang Keyan softened her tone, but the hatred in her eyes wasn't well concealed.
"I'm sorry, she's not worth much money, I don't plan on selling her," Li Zhen smiled lightly, her words unusually resolute.
Jiang Keyan couldn't hold back her anger for a moment, "Don't pretend, do you really think you can marry into the Yu family? Wishful thinking."
Li Zhen found it laughable.
Why did the Jiang sisters have to preemptively conclude that she must want to marry into Yu Sheng?
"Manager Jiang, not everyone is like you with the goal of marrying into a wealthy family. To me, marrying into a wealthy clan is not as good as being the wealthy clan myself."
Li Zhen would rather put in more effort herself to obtain shares in Li Corp than gamble her entire life on a man.
Jiang Keyan sneered coldly, "Fine, since you're unwilling to compromise on this, I can only take it up with the company."
She looked at the time and notified Li Zhen, "See you in half an hour."
Li Zhen didn't quite understand Jiang Keyan's meaning.
Half an hour later, she understood.
Ren Zongshun found her, looking weary, "The PR department has a joint meeting later that we need to attend to coordinate. Come with me to the PR department later."
The PR department handled external public relations issues across departments. When matters involved the relevant departments, joint meetings were often held to discuss.
Li Zhen was puzzled, "What business could I have at the PR department?"
Ren Zongshun said: "It's about Jiang Kening. The IF Mall made a splash about this incident to build momentum? It affects our company, so we need to resolve it quickly."
When Li Zhen followed Ren Zongshun into the PR department's meeting room, there were already quite a few people inside.
In addition to the PR department, there were also some from other departments.
Ren Zongshun brought her to sit in a corner.
Jiang Keyan, who was originally fiddling with the projector at the very front, walked over and said smilingly, "Li Zhen, I sought you privately earlier but you wouldn't give me face, so I can only bring up the matter publicly now."
Jiang Keyan didn't actually want to publicize her sister's matter, but she had no other recourse after hitting walls everywhere.
She could only use this method to pressure Li Zhen at the company level.
"Quite the dutiful sister, making such efforts for your sister, but it would be better to have taught her well earlier," Li Zhen advised her calmly.
Jiang Keyan's expression was ugly, "Keep gloating for now. Later when the company makes you write a letter of understanding in front of everyone, don't feel too awful."
After saying that, Jiang Keyan left a cold smile and went to prepare her PPT.
Li Zhen was speechless! The Jiang sisters were harder to deal with than the last!
As Jiang Keyan came and went, probing looks were cast Li Zhen's way one after another.
The photos of Li Zhen being sent home by Lu Yanming the other night were posted in the Macho Banquet group, and many now recognized her.
Someone sneakily snapped a picture of her and posted it in the group.
"How did Li Zhen get to participate in this meeting too?"
Seeing a recent hot topic figure appear, everyone immediately responded.
"I have a feeling this meeting is not simple."
"Wherever this sister has been recently, it's been stormy."
"Jealous of those present, I really want to go watch!"
As the group kept gossiping, the General Manager of PR's phone also kept ringing nonstop.
The General Manager of Legal saw the time and urged, "It's time, shall we start the meeting?"
"I'm afraid..." The General Manager of PR looked at the messages on his phone, eyebrows furrowed tightly, "I'm afraid we'll have to wait a bit, President Yu just messaged that he wants to participate."
"Huh?" The General Manager of Legal was confused.
PR department joint meetings were usually quite long-winded, and President Yu had never participated before.
Why today...
Just as everyone was feeling puzzled, the door of the meeting room was pushed open.
To their shock...
Lu Yanming walked in...
