Chapter 9, Teasing the Boss

Zhang Linlin gritted her teeth: "Warm, heart!"

Days passed smoothly, and due to the Min Cheng case, the relationship between Jin Rou and Wen Xin seemed to have grown closer. After spending some time together, Wen Xin discovered that Jin Rou was not very talkative and often appeared to be lost in thought. She seemed to understand why Lu Yunshen did not want her to engage in socializing; given her current state, it was likely that she would not be able to secure any deals and might even embarrass the clients with her behavior.

Wen Xin smiled and said, "Alright, I understand. I will meet your Zhai Jian tonight!"

Zhai Jian was the first to react, quickly getting up to greet him, "I really didn't expect that the friend Wen Xin mentioned would be the boss. Our Wen Xin has quite the connections, being able to invite General Manager Lu... Hahahahaha, come, come, come, quickly take a seat, I'll have the waiter order a few more dishes."

However, whether you are innocent or not is no longer relevant! Now the entire office is buzzing, saying that you went out alone with General Manager Lu to discuss the contract, and the gossip has already spread to our department!" Zhang Linlin said with a righteous expression as she leaned closer to her.

Zhang Linlin poked her and said, "Don't just focus on eating; have you forgotten the purpose of tonight..."

Zhang Linlin's expression changed slightly, and the next moment she burst into laughter: "You... are so perverted... but... I, like it!"

Wenxin's phone vibrated, and she looked down at the line of text on the screen. In the next moment, she sprang up and ran out the door, leaving a group of people staring at each other in confusion.

Zhang Linlin blushed and murmured softly, "Oh dear, it's still a matter that hasn't even begun..."

She can already fully imagine Zhang Linlin's expression, silently lighting a candle for herself in her heart

Wen Xin shot her a glance, "Did you forget to bring your brain with you when you left home this morning? Can you stop saying 'your family' and 'my family'? I have no relationship with him at all!"

Zhang Linlin cut in, "We have already broken up! And please don't use that again! When have you ever seen me use my looks as a tactic?"

Wen Xin hurriedly ran to the restroom, grinning at the mirror for a long time, yet she did not see that piece of vegetable leaf. It was only then that she realized she seemed to have been played by Lu Yunshen. She took out her phone and sent another text message: "Mr. Lu, I do not have a vegetable leaf on my teeth. Forgive my boldness, but I believe you must have fallen in love with me."

When Wenxin invited Jinrou to dinner, Jinrou looked at her in surprise, "But I already have plans with someone. Wenxin, I am really happy that you invited me. Would you mind if I brought him along?"

With the addition of Lu Yunshen, everyone feels somewhat constrained, except for Wen Xin

Who is it? You want to take your General Manager Lu? Alright...

Zhang Linlin looked at her with sympathy and nodded seriously: "Yes, you must know that President Lu never brings anyone when doing business, not even his secretary!" Wen Xin's little heart was already in turmoil, rippling... However, the next second, what she was more afraid of was that Chen Fang would develop hostility towards her because of this. What if she decided to abandon her from then on?

When Lu Yunshen saw that text message, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and he replied to her expressionlessly: You have a leaf of vegetable on your teeth

Puff—

Wen Xin glanced at her and said with a look of surprise: "But the prerequisite is that you must have this thing..."

Indeed, when the three of them appeared at the entrance of the dining room, the three people inside the private room were so astonished that their jaws nearly dropped to the floor. Zhang Linlin was the quickest to react, her gaze towards Wenxin filled with the unspoken words, "I knew you would bring him along while pretending to be aloof and elegant, hehehehehehe, but what is this Jin Rou all about?" Wenxin responded with her eyes, "Don't look at me like that; I know nothing! The person I am bringing is Jin Rou, it is Jin Rou!" Zhang Linlin continued to disdain her with her gaze, "No need to explain anything. Just remember, when you become the president's wife and look down on everyone, don't forget to speak a good word for us."

"Alright!" Wenxin gritted her teeth and agreed, thinking that at worst, she would treat for this meal! ... Meanwhile, she wailed inwardly: she truly was destined for a rough man's life! ... Completely unable to refuse a beautiful woman's request! Crying in despair in the restroom!

Fortunately, the car quickly arrived at the company entrance

Wenxin could not believe it: "He has a girlfriend! Are you really that desperate? When did you start getting involved with him again?"

Everyone looked on in confusion as Wen Xin and Zhang Linlin exchanged glances with each other

Wen Xin almost ran back to the office in one breath. Zhang Linlin happened to be in the government and enterprise department. Seeing her face flushed, she quietly leaned over and nudged her with her elbow, whispering: "I heard you went out with General Manager Lu?"

Wen Xin looked at her slightly twisted and affected expression, feeling goosebumps all over her body, "I am impressed by you."

Just as Wen Xin was about to explain, Lu Yunshen glanced at her, his eyes like a deep pool, seemingly trying to stop her

Wen Xin closed her mouth, wisely choosing not to say anything further. She thought to herself that it made sense; if she were to tell the people here that Lu Yunshen was brought by Jin Rou, considering Jin Rou's usual performance in the company, she could only imagine how many unpleasant rumors would circulate the next day.

After work, Wenxin was left dumbfounded

Wen Xin looked at the text message and silently snorted in her heart, if there is a cure, you should first treat your facial paralysis!

She did not expect that the person Jin Rou had arranged to meet was Lu, Yun, and Shen

Wen Xin ignored Zhang Linlin's shyness, glanced back at Jin Rou who was still sitting in her seat in a daze, pondered for a moment, and then turned back to Zhang Linlin and said: "Linlin, do you mind if I bring one more person tonight?"

Perhaps having become somewhat familiar, coupled with the chatter of Wenxin and Zhang Linlin, the atmosphere had relaxed significantly compared to the beginning. Even Jin Rou, who usually spoke little, would occasionally chime in, while Lu Yunshen remained mostly silent, elegantly leaning back in his chair, his deep gaze seriously listening to their conversation. Most of the time, Lu Yunshen's profound gaze would linger on Wenxin, who, unable to bear it any longer, secretly sent him a text: "Big Boss, I have a thick skin; if you keep looking at me like that, I might think you are in love with me." Most of the time, Lu Yunshen's profound gaze would linger on Wenxin, who, unable to bear it any longer, secretly sent him a text: "Big Boss, I have a thick skin; if you keep looking at me like that, I might think you are in love with me."

Chen Fang was too lazy to argue with her, continuing to take her to social events as needed, drinking when necessary, playing when appropriate, and teaching what should be taught. Wen Xin then let out a long sigh: This is what a good master in China is like! Thirty-two likes!

Wen Xin felt somewhat embarrassed, as it was not a gathering she had organized, and it was indeed a bit awkward to keep dragging things out like this.

About two days later, just before the end of the workday, Zhang Linlin briskly ran in and said to her: "Wen Xin, Wen Xin, don't leave right after work, someone wants to treat us to dinner!" Wen Xin furrowed her brows in suspicion and asked, "Who is it?"

Hehehe... Goodbye, Mr. Lu!" Wenxin said, quickly opening the car door and slipping away as if in a hurry. Lu Yunshen maintained the teasing and elegant posture from earlier, remaining motionless, his gaze deeply fixed on her flustered and awkward figure, the corners of his mouth involuntarily lifting into a slight arc

After a short while, Lu Yunshen replied, saying: "Obsession with love is also a kind of illness. I know a very good psychologist. Do you need me to introduce you?"

Clearly, she was overthinking it

Wen Xin was astonished and incredulous, exclaiming with an exaggerated expression: "What kind of joke is this? Just an afternoon's effort?"

Wen Xin took a sip of water and shot her a glance, "Sign the contract! Don't look at me with that gossipy gaze. My relationship with President Lu is as pure as your white underwear!"

Zhang Linlin pursed her lips and said, "So who are you going to bring?"

I won't tell you. Go back and tighten your screws first, and don't act like a fool bouncing around during dinner!

Zhang Linlin's small face was flushed, filled with excitement, "Zhai Jian, he lives right next door to us!"

In this awkward atmosphere, with nothing to say, she could only bury her head in her meal. The combination of speed and efficiency led to her unknowingly consuming two bowls of rice, leaving everyone else somewhat dumbfounded. Only Lu Yunshen looked at her with a relaxed expression, as if he were accustomed to it.
