Because she was addicted

The next day on her way to work, Wen Jia was about to get off at the subway station. But Lu Chenyan ignored her and drove straight past the station towards the company.

"What are you doing?" Wen Jia asked, clutching her bag and fastening her seatbelt back on after unbuckling it.

"It's so hot, walking that far from here would be exhausting. I feel sorry for you."

Lu Chenyan turned to look at her, a mischievous smile playing on his lips.

"When we get to the company, I'll go up first, and you can wait in the car."

"OK."

As soon as Wen Jia got out of the car in the garage, Lu Chenyan locked the car door and followed her, even putting his arm around her shoulder.

"You're going to die!"

Wen Jia was startled and hurriedly slapped his hand. Many colleagues in the garage were all looking this way. They greeted Lu Chenyan as they saw him.

"Good morning, Mr. Lu."

Lu Chenyan nodded coldly, "Mm."

Several executives were getting out of the car one after another. They were stunned for a moment when they saw this, and then they laughed:

"Oh, Mr. Lu came with his girlfriend."

Wen Jia was both amused and exasperated, wishing she could disappear into the ground.

Men's words are deceitful; you really can't trust them!

Lu Chenyan greeted everyone one by one, then turned to Wen Jia and said:

"The whole company knows you're my girlfriend. What? You think you can just bury your head in the sand?"

"Who's burying their head in the sand! I didn't expect you to be so good at using idioms!"

Wen Jia was held tightly by him, and she reached out to pinch his waist.

"Although I grew up in Japan, there are many overseas Chinese there. My father was very traditional and hired the best Chinese language teacher to teach my brother and me. Idioms are naturally good."

Lu Chenyan looked smug.

With his arm around her, Wen Jia walked past everyone and headed straight for the president's private elevator.

This confirms the entire group's suspicions.

Wen Jia and President Lu are really a couple now.

……

Since Fu Huaishen doesn't come to the company, Lu Chenyan has become his spokesperson.

When General Manager Liu came to inquire about the establishment of the new business unit, Lu Chenyan gave instructions:

"The people will arrive this afternoon. Some of the core personnel will be brought from Hong Kong, and the rest will be selected from within the group. Do we have the list of candidates yet?"

"A draft has already been prepared."

Mr. Liu pointed to the documents on the table, indicating that Lu Chenyan should turn to the next page.

Lu Chenyan read it once.

"There shouldn't be any major problems. Just prepare all the documents and files. We'll meet with each of you for interviews this afternoon once Mr. Nie arrives."

"Yes, Mr. Lu."

Mr. Liu hesitated for a moment, then stammered:

"President Lu, what are President Shen Yu's plans?"

"Follow the normal procedure. This afternoon, President Nie will personally meet with you. If Shen Yu is willing, he can go and be your deputy; if not, we'll discuss it another way."

"……OK."

General Manager Liu thought that Shen Yu had long considered himself the head of the new business unit, and had already hosted a banquet for the department the day before yesterday. Now, everyone in the group was waiting for his appointment. As a result, General Manager Nie was suddenly parachuted in from Hong Kong, which might not be easy to handle.

However, he dared not say this to Lu Chenyan's face.

He could guess what Lu Chenyan would say: "Do I have to worry about this kind of thing? What's the point of having a human resources department then? Mr. Liu, you can go home and sell sweet potatoes."

As soon as President Liu left, Lu Chenyan called Wen Jia inside.

"I've read your report, and it's very feasible. When General Manager Nie from the new business unit arrives this afternoon, I'll have him take a look as well."

"Really?"

Wen Jia was initially worried that her plan wouldn't work.

"You're not kidding me, are you?"

Lu Chenyan beckoned Wen Jia over with his finger.

He sat in the chair, hooked his long arm around Wen Jia's waist, and laughed as he looked up:

"I would like to comfort you, but you are too outstanding and have progressed too quickly. Before, you needed my help to revise your proposals, but now you don't need me anymore. I feel a little disappointed."

Wen Jia nodded.

"Don't give me that."

At noon, Wen Jia booked a table at the restaurant downstairs to welcome General Manager Nie of the new business unit.

Nie Xuming and Fu Huaishen were about the same age, in their thirties. Nie Xuming wore gold-rimmed glasses and was quite burly. Upon meeting Lu Chenyan, he immediately hugged him and said loudly:

"You brat, Ah Shen told me you came to Haicheng, but I didn't believe him. You're a monkey, always thinking about running around the world. How could you possibly settle down and stay in one place?"

Lu Chenyan smiled and hugged him back.

"My brother said he needed help, so I came."

"I bet it's because there are beautiful women here."

Nie Xuming looked over Lu Chenyan's shoulder at Wen Jia, who had accompanied him in.

"Brother Xuming, this is my girlfriend, Wen Jia."

Lu Chenyan introduced, then turned to Wen Jia and said,

"Jiajia, this is Brother Shen's classmate and friend, and also my brother's classmate and friend. You can call him Brother Xuming."

Wen Jia politely extended her hand. "Mr. Nie, hello. I'm Wen Jia."

She would never be so disrespectful as to call someone "brother."

Nie Xuming sized up Wen Jia and nodded:

"Miss Wen, I've heard so much about you."

"President Nie knows me?" Wen Jia was somewhat surprised.

Nie Xuming laughed heartily, "I was still in Hong Kong when I heard about your affair with that brat. Every time I come to Hong Kong on a business trip, Fu Huaishen tells me about you and Ayan, saying that finally someone can keep this monkey in check."

Wen Jia's face flushed.

The meal was very enjoyable.

In the afternoon, Nie Xuming went directly to the office of the new business unit on the 50th floor.

In less than fifteen minutes, the news had spread throughout the entire company.

Upon hearing the news, Shen Yu turned pale and locked himself in his office, refusing even to meet with Nie Xuming.

Upon hearing the news, Nie Xuming nonchalantly replied:

"It's alright, I have plenty of manpower. If he doesn't come, someone else will take his place."

Nie Xuming read Wen Jia's report.

"Would you like to join the new business unit? I'll assign you a dedicated team so you can focus on this project."

"Really?"

Wen Jia could hardly believe it.

After thinking for a moment, he asked directly, "Mr. Nie, you're not doing this because I'm Ayan's girlfriend, are you?"

Nie Xuming laughed heartily, "Miss Wen, then I'll have to ask for your continued support in the future."

That's how the matter was settled.

On the day the personnel appointment notice was issued, Shen Yu smashed his treasured fountain pen in his office.

"Lu Chenyan is just using his position to settle personal scores!"

He called Gu Nan.

Gu Nan reached out to paint her nails. "He was just taking revenge on his own. What are you going to do about it? Who told you to keep staring at someone else's girlfriend?"

"..." Shen Yu was furious but had nowhere to vent his anger.

"Have you gotten revenge yet?" Gu Nan's eyebrows danced.

"What do you mean?"

"If you agree to one condition, I'll help you get revenge."

"Gu Nan, don't push your luck. I chose this project because I listened to you, thinking I could use it to advance my career. But look what happened! Wen Jia still got into the new business unit, and I even offended Lu Chenyan because of it. Gu Nan, now I even suspect that you did it on purpose."

"Shen Yu, I admit I underestimated Lu Chenyan's feelings for Wen Jia. But don't you think this gives us even more room to maneuver?"

"What are you trying to say?"

Gu Nan chuckled, "I'm going to your house tonight."

Shen Yu was silent for a moment, then said, "See you tonight."
