Lu Zhi was silent for a while, ignoring the hints in Jian Jin's eyes, and said coldly: "He is blocking the way. In addition, I owe Nie Qingru a favor. This is the condition she proposed. I have no reason to refuse."
Qiao Nian crossed her legs and nodded. Her dark eyes were calm, as if she knew what Lu Zhi would say: "Okay!"
Seeing her like this, Jian Jin knew that Lu Zhi had gone too far and Qiao was angry.
She didn't care that there were several senior officials present, and hurriedly smoothed things over in the middle, blocking the sparks of the exchange between the two: "Qiao, Mr. Lu didn't mean that. He...you know there is something wrong with his brain! Sometimes he just short-circuits and does some things.
Something I can’t understand.”
She paused and begged: "But we have known each other since childhood and have gone through ups and downs together until now. Can you forgive him once?"
Qiao Nian couldn't hold back his anger and almost started arguing with Lu Zhi by flipping the table over, but now he caught Jian Jin's pleading eyes.
She was furious, so she endured it, her temples bulged, and she pressed the tip of her tongue against her chin, trying to calm down: "I forgave him once."
Jian Jin remembered that Lu Zhi had done the same thing last time!
She was speechless. She turned back to look at the motionless young man sitting behind the desk. She felt that one head was bigger than the other. She looked back again and said, "...he can offset his mistakes."
Qiao Nian probably guessed what she would say.
"Zhai Xicheng is indeed in Tianchen's hands." To be precise, Zhai Xicheng is in Lu Zhi's hands.
Jian Jin was shocked: "Qiao, do you know?"
She instinctively twisted her neck and looked in the direction of Lu Zhi, with confusion on her face. It was not easy to directly ask Lu Zhi if he had told Qiao Nian in private.
But her expression betrayed her inner thoughts. Lu Zhi was silent for a moment and replied: "It's not me."
His voice was low: "I didn't say."
"..." Jian Jin was confused.
How did Joe know?
The three of them were playing a charade, and Tianchen's senior executives who stayed in the office had no time to leave. They didn't understand what Qiao Nian and the others were saying at all.
——Who is Zhai Xicheng?
This question lingered in the minds of several executives present. They wanted to find someone close to them to ask, but they all received looks of "I don't know either."
Lu Zhi probably knew why Qiao Nian came to him. Qing Ling looked at him with deep eyes: "Are you going to stand up for Ye Wangchuan?"
What he said was a question, but he used an affirmative tone.
And suddenly my tone became bad.
Jian Jin's temples twitched, conditioned to see the girl's reaction.
The girl was sitting on the sofa quite coldly, holding a lighter in her hand and playing with it. Her dark eyelashes were drooped and coated with a layer of plain color by the light and shadow.
She raised her eyes and said to Lu Zhi: "Even if I don't stand up for him, I will still come to you. Besides... shouldn't I stand up for him?"
Lu Zhi had a heart attack: "You really don't know?"
"What do you know?" Qiao Nian asked him.
Lu Zhi stared at her for a long time. He didn't start, and unconsciously opened a document in his hand. In fact, his eyes did not fall on her, and his tone was much more pessimistic than before: "I still have some things to deal with, and I don't have time to greet you today."
.Let Jian Jin take you down..."
Jian Jin opened her mouth before she could speak to Qiao Nian.
The girl suddenly became angry and threw the lighter on the table with a 'pop' sound.
At the same time, she stood up, looked at the young man sitting behind the desk, and asked in a frosty tone: "Lu Zhi, do you think I'm quite easy to mess with?"
