Because she was addicted

Wen Jia tried her best to appear natural, but the things she and Lu Chenyan did together kept flashing through her mind: the guesthouse by Erhai Lake, the gentle breeze, the white curtains, the soft bed, the constant panting...

"What do we have? He's the boss, I'm the secretary, that's all."

Wen Jia sat down, put down her bag, turned on her computer, and grabbed a cup to get some water from the tea room.

Yi Mo followed closely behind, "So he stood up for you and hurt people for you? I saw it all."

"President Lu is a good person; he can't stand seeing his subordinates being bullied." Wen Jia said, head down, as she poured water.

"!!!"

Yimo leaned forward, her eyes wide.

"Jiajia, yesterday you were cursing him with me, calling him a skinflint, saying he had a split personality, and wishing he'd go bald before he turned thirty. Don't you remember? Mr. Lu is a good person? Did you really say that?"

As she spoke, she reached out to touch Wen Jia's forehead.

Wen Jia waved her hand to block it.

"Don't you think about it? Mr. Lu is the vice president. If his secretary is bullied, isn't that the same as him being bullied? Someone as domineering as him would let someone ride roughshod over him and slap him in the face? You're kidding!"

Wen Jia almost believed what she said herself.

As expected, Yimo nodded seriously.

"That makes sense. However,"

She changed the subject...

"Would a boss kiss his subordinate in public? It's all over the company! Everyone's saying that President Lu acted impulsively for a woman, and that you're President Lu's girlfriend."

Yi Mo had an expression that said, "Go ahead and make things up, I saw it all."

Wen Jia frowned immediately.

"No way! It was just an act for Mr. Lin's benefit."

"But by then, Mr. Kobayashi had already walked far away, hadn't he?"

"Who knows if his informants are in the crowd?"

"I was worried about you when President Lu made things difficult for you a few days ago. I never imagined you two were just flirting. I was the fool who worried about you all this time! I'm the clown myself!"

Yi Mo sighed and lamented.

Wen Jia, fearing she would run out of words if Yi Mo continued to ask questions, pushed her to sit down in the seat.

"Believe it or not, there's nothing between me and President Lu. Let me tell you, we'll be busy as soon as the bidding conference ends. If you keep making a fuss, you'll be in trouble when President Lu comes."

Yi Mo was startled by the announcement that "President Lu is here" and obediently shut her mouth.

After calming down, Wen Jia turned on her computer.

In the WeChat chat, the 200 yuan transfer is still lying there quietly and alone.

Lu Chenyan still didn't accept it.

Wen Jia felt a little agitated when she thought about what those 200 yuan were.

He was indeed flirting with me.

I simply sent the links to shampoo, shower gel, and other products one by one.

A string of Taobao links quickly pushed the conspicuous transfer record to the top.

Lu Chenyan replied instantly: "No. Buy it for me."

Immediately following this was a transfer of 2000.

What kind of person is this? They don't even know how to shop online.

I'll just buy it for him, considering he helped me yesterday, and I won't charge him.

These things wouldn't cost 2000 yuan, but the favor she owed Lu Chenyan was far more than 2000 yuan.

Wen Jia quickly bought the items online, and when filling in the shipping address, she thought for a moment and wrote down her own home address.

After finishing her shopping, she wanted to ask Lu Chenyan how things had been handled yesterday.

But then she remembered Lu Chenyan telling her to trust him.

If she keeps asking, won't it seem like she doesn't trust his abilities?

Seeing the "typing..." message flashing on WeChat but no messages popping up, and eventually even the typing stopped, Lu Chenyan closed his phone somewhat disappointed.

"Wenjia?"

Fu Huaishen glanced at him and guessed.

Lu Chenyan smiled, which was taken as tacit agreement.

"Wen Jia is a good girl, don't let her down." Fu Huaishen sat in the car and patted Lu Chenyan on the shoulder.

They went outside to look at projects together in the morning.

"What? In your heart, am I someone who starts something and then abandons it?" Lu Chenyan asked.

Fu Huaishen smiled bitterly, "I know you're not. I just want to tell you that since you've started, you have to cherish the person in front of you. No matter what happens, you have to protect her, otherwise you won't have a chance to make amends later."

"I won't." Lu Chenyan said firmly.

"That's good."

Fu Huaishen lit a cigarette, and the car instantly filled with smoke, obscuring his expression for a moment.

"What are your plans to do about Lin Zhidong's situation?"

"I've disliked him for a long time. If I wasn't worried about ruining your plans, I would have dealt with him long ago. Would I have waited until now?"

A barely perceptible ruthlessness flashed in Lu Chenyan's eyes.

Fu Huaishen patted Lu Chenyan on the shoulder and casually answered a phone call.

"Hmm? He's next to me. Wait a moment."

As he spoke, Fu Huaishen handed over his phone, mouthing "Lin Xiao".

Lu Chenyan answered the phone, and Lin Xiao's warm and polite voice came through.

"Chen Yan, you came to Haicheng without saying hello! Your uncle would love to invite you to dinner."

After a few insincere pleasantries, Lin Xiao finally got to the point:

"Chen Yan, what A Dong did yesterday was wrong. Your uncle apologizes to you on his behalf."

"Uncle Lin, you're too kind," Lu Chenyan said with a forced smile.

"Chen Yan, A Dong told me that he really didn't know Miss Wen was your girlfriend, otherwise he wouldn't have bothered her. Now look what's happened, it's like the flood washed away the Dragon King's temple, and family members are fighting among themselves! Don't worry, your uncle has already taught him a lesson for you, and he won't bother you anymore."

Lin Xiao's tone was very sincere.

Like a father apologizing for his child's misbehavior.

Lu Chenyan: "I'm alright, but Jiajia was really terrified."

"I know, I know. Don't worry, your uncle will definitely give you an explanation with Miss Wen, and I guarantee you'll be satisfied. Also, whenever is a convenient day for you, your uncle will invite you to dinner."

"I'll skip the meal; I'm too busy."

"That's fine then. Please give my regards to your father." Lin Xiao hung up the phone politely.

In the ward, Lin Zhidong lay on the hospital bed, looking sullen.

When he arrived at the hospital yesterday, he was in so much pain that he was almost unconscious. Fortunately, Lu Chenyan's attack missed a vital spot, otherwise it's not hard to estimate that the Lin family line would be wiped out.

Lin Zhidong's lips were pale, and he didn't seem to be in good spirits.

"Dad, I was messed up like this by that brat surnamed Lu, and you're still groveling and apologizing to him? Why should you?"

"Why?!"

Lin Xiao slammed her phone onto Lin Zhidong's hospital bed, and said bitterly,

"Just look at how powerful his father is in J country, even the president has to listen to him. Zhidong, you've always been calm and smart, how could you be so foolish as to provoke that Lu guy for a woman? Don't forget the assets we've transferred to J country over the years. If that Lu guy finds out and gets upset, all our plans will be for nothing."

"So I didn't know Wen Jia was Lu Chenyan's woman before."

"Now you know!"

Lin Xiao vented her anger for a while, then felt sorry for her son and sat down next to Lin Zhidong, saying:

"Ah Dong, Fu Huaishen is already difficult enough to deal with, we can't afford to offend that Lu guy too. We have to be extra careful with every step we take from now on, understand?"

……

"Secretary Wen, someone is looking for you downstairs." It was a call from the front desk on the first floor.

Wen Jia went downstairs.

In the company lobby, the man who came to see her was a burly middle-aged man. His large chest muscles under his black suit looked like they were about to burst out of the suit. He wore sunglasses and had a fierce look on his face.

Behind him followed a dozen or so men in identical black suits, standing neatly in two rows.

In the lobby, employees and customers alike were all so frightened that they hid to one side.

Many of them had witnessed the scene yesterday where Wen Jia was forced into a car by Boss Lin's men, and now they all secretly speculated that this was revenge.

Sure enough, as soon as Wen Jia appeared, the middle-aged muscular man stepped forward, clasped his hands together, and bent slightly.

"Ms. Wen, I am Mr. Lin's assistant."

Wen Jia looked wary. "What do you want?"

With Lu Chenyan not at the company, no one would protect her. Wen Jia gripped her phone tightly, ready to call the police at any moment.

The dozen or so security guards in the lobby, who had been indifferent yesterday, all gripped stun batons and crowded around Wen Jia, gradually surrounding her.

Two camps, a vast and numerous group.

The situation is on the verge of erupting.
