After Lu Zhiheng finished speaking, he left the private room without looking back.

Mr. Li was completely bewildered. He had put in so much effort, but in the end, not only had he failed to secure a cooperation, but it seemed that he had also completely offended Lu Zhiheng.

He hurriedly grabbed Zhu He, "Assistant Zhu, what's wrong with President Lu? What did I do wrong? Please point it out, and I will definitely avoid it in the future."

"What happened next?"

Congratulations! Calmly brushed aside Mr. Li's hand. "Mr. Li, what else is there to come? When Mr. Lu said it was over, he wasn't just referring to tonight's dinner."

Mr. Li was stunned. The meeting opportunity that he had painstakingly planned and worked so hard to obtain had completely fallen through before he could even make any progress.

He was unwilling to accept this and stubbornly stopped Zhu He, insisting on knowing the reason: "Assistant Zhu, please tell me at least a little bit. I need to know why I was eliminated."

Since Lu Zhiheng returned to China and took over the Lu Group, many people have tried to curry favor with him, and those who try to flatter and fawn over him are as numerous as locusts crossing a river.

Of course, there were also women who tried to put women in his life, but none of them succeeded. However, Zhu He knew that there was only one reason why Lu Zhiheng was so furious.

He decided to be blunt, so that this Mr. Li would die knowing why. He raised his eyes and gestured to the female college students who were still standing frozen in the private room, "Mr. Lu has a beloved younger relative at home, who is the same age as them."

To give away a luxury mansion worth nearly nine figures so readily, Zhuhe feels that describing it as "showing affection" is not an exaggeration.

Lu Zhiheng has always been extremely self-controlled, but he seemed to have lost control just now. Sitting in the car, he seriously reflected on the reasons for his loss of control.

It seemed that from the moment he saw those female college students enter, a surge of anger began to rise within him.

He knew in his heart that he subconsciously mistook those women for Wen Song.

Wen Song and he were juniors who needed to be taken care of, young girls who had just grown up and were inexperienced in the ways of the world.

That's why when he saw that the woman surnamed Li had found some women of similar age to please him, he suddenly felt a sense of absurdity, followed by an indescribable sense of immorality.

Feeling agitated, he leaned back in his chair and loosened the tie around his neck.

His gaze lingered for a few seconds as it swept over the carton of milk on the shelf before he indifferently looked away.

Since Wen Song started his internship at Lu's, he hasn't seen Zhong Man much.

That day, Zhong Man suddenly called Wen Song and asked her to go out for a get-together.

The meeting place was a bar. Wen Song thought it would just be the two of them, but when they arrived, they found that in addition to Zhong Man, there was also a tall and big guy.

Zhong Man took the initiative to introduce the two, "Sister Songsong, this is Xue Zijia, he's in the same year as me, and he's definitely a top student in the law department."

Then, turning to Xue Zijia, he said, "Wen Song, the most beautiful girl in the Chinese Department, I probably don't need to introduce her, right?"

Xue Zijia stared at Wen Song with bright eyes, "I've seen you on the campus forum many times before, Senior Wen Song, you're even prettier in person than in the photos."

Zhong Man followed the man's gaze to Wen Song. Today, she was wearing a beige coat, a matching sweater, and wide-leg pants, with a soft pink scarf draped over her wrist.

Wen Song's beauty is never flamboyant or dazzling; it has no aggression whatsoever. It is a unique kind of understated and gentle beauty.

At first glance, it is pleasing to the eye and comfortable to look at. Upon closer inspection, it becomes more and more attractive. It is elegant and serene, pleasing to the eye, like a gardenia in the misty morning of late spring, gentle and clean, refreshing the soul.

But these words weren't spoken by Zhong Man; they were the evaluations of Zhou Shijing by her friends in the past.

Zhong Man laughed and joked, "That's a must. To be honest, calling her the 'department beauty' is a bit of an understatement. She deserves the title of 'school beauty' more than anything."

Wen Song felt incredibly awkward being flattered by the two of them to their faces. He had a feeling that there was something strange about the whole situation.

This point is fully demonstrated when Zhong Man used the excuse of going to the restroom to leave her and Xue Zijia alone together.

"Senior Wen Song, I heard from Zhong Man that you're currently interning at the Lu Group, right?"

Wen Song nodded, "I just went there not long ago."

Xue Zijia praised him generously, "You are really amazing. Being able to intern at Lu's is something many of my classmates dream of."

Wen Song gave a dismissive smile, "I was just... lucky."

"This really has nothing to do with luck. I heard the Lu Group has extremely high standards..."

Because the surrounding environment was too noisy, the two naturally sat a little closer when they talked, and sometimes they had to lean close to each other's ears to speak because they couldn't hear each other clearly.

On the second floor of the bar, a few young men were leaning against the railing watching the chaotic crowd below. Suddenly, someone with sharp eyes exclaimed, "Hey, Jing-ge, come look! Isn't that Wen Xiaomei down there?"

Zhou Shijing was lounging on the sofa drinking when he was caught off guard by the name, and his brow furrowed involuntarily.

Those around him basically already knew about his annulment of his engagement with Wen Song.

Seeing that he didn't move, the other person continued, "Does she have a boyfriend? She and that guy next to her seem pretty affectionate, tsk, they're so close, they're practically kissing."

Zhou Shijing was already somewhat restless, and upon hearing this, as if pulled by an invisible thread, his feet moved uncontrollably toward the railing.

His location offered a wide view, with an unobstructed view of the entire booth area downstairs.

She spotted Wen Song sitting on the sofa next to a boy almost immediately.

The two stood very close together, Wen Song's back ramrod straight, as gentle and quiet as ever.

But she couldn't resist the enthusiasm of the boys around her. Taking advantage of the deafening noise of the dance floor, they kept getting close to her and whispering. Several times, if Wen Song hadn't dodged quickly, the men's lips would have almost touched her ears.

Zhou Shijing felt inexplicably annoyed, and his face darkened. The person next to him noticed his odd behavior and patted him on the shoulder with a smile. "Brother Jing, why the look on your face? Did you regret it after seeing Wen Xiaomei start a new relationship?"

Zhou Shijing couldn't explain what was wrong with him. Logically speaking, if Wen Song really found a boyfriend, that would make him feel completely at ease.

But now, instead of feeling much at ease, he felt a surge of restless emotions rising within him.

He suppressed his emotions, his tone cold and ruthless, "Who regrets it? There's no way I could ever regret it in this lifetime."

Wen Song waited for a while, but Zhong Man didn't return. She gradually became restless. While answering Xue Zijia's various questions in a disjointed manner, she sent a message to Zhong Man, "Where did you go? You were in the bathroom for twenty minutes."

Zhong Man replied quickly, "I ate something bad, Sister Songsong, wait for me a little longer. *crying*"

Wen Song: "I'll give you five minutes. If you don't come back, I'm leaving."

Zhong Man: "No, Sister Songsong, it won't take five minutes, three minutes at most. I promise I'll be in front of you right away."

After reading the message, Wen Song locked her phone and felt a gaze fall on her head. She subconsciously looked up and met a pair of dark and unfathomable eyes.
