Chapter 123 Pursuit
The temperature in Guangdong City in the evening at the end of February was about 20 degrees. Lu Xingchen stood on the side of the road, wearing a thick navy blue shirt over a white T-shirt, black casual trousers, and a pair of worn high-top canvas shoes.
Her shoulder-length hair, which had not been cut for a long time, was casually tied into a ponytail and pressed under a baseball cap of the same color as her shirt. From a distance, she looked tall and straight.
Only when you look up can you see that under her heroic long eyebrows she has a pair of clear and bright eyes, a high and straight nose, and plump and moist lips.
Even though she has no makeup on her face, her skin is fair, delicate and flawless, which makes her facial features appear bright and clear, and her thin oval face has a three-dimensional and smooth outline.
Lu Xingchen used to think she was very beautiful and was never reluctant to show it off, but later on, her heavy workload made her pay less attention to her appearance than before.
However, as a working woman, her appearance is often noticed by others, especially the opposite sex, at work. She often hears the first sentence people say to her is: "You are so beautiful."
"Does such a beautiful girl also need to work for herself?"
"You are so beautiful, there is no need to work so hard for that little bit of concession. If you become my woman, you can get more by just lying down."
Later, she went to work at Wenxing. Her married boss stared at her like a fly all day long, which not only made her feel sick but also hindered her promotion. For a while, she felt that being beautiful was a troublesome thing.
So she cut her long hair short and wore clothes that could cover up her figure as much as possible. Even so, she was eventually innocently labeled as a "vixen".
Now, apart from making every effort to get promotion and salary increase, Lu Xingchen tries to be as low-key as possible in other aspects.
"Sister Xingchen!" With this call, Lu Xingchen saw a Panamera stopped in front of her, and Zhang Chuner, who had just called her name, opened the car door and got out.
Probably for the purpose of being on camera, Zhang Chun'er has lost a lot of weight compared to when she was in Neptune, but her figure is still plump where it should be plump and thin where it should be thin.
She was wearing a black one-shoulder suspender sweater, a houndstooth miniskirt, and black boots that reached below her knees, revealing her slender, white thighs.
Her innocent face was painted with the most popular makeup of the time. Her long gray-brown curly hair half fell behind her and half rested on her chest. There was a star-shaped diamond under her left eye, which matched the Cartier earrings on her ear. The ring on her index finger matched the bracelet and earrings on her wrist, reflecting the same exquisite light.
She was as beautiful as a carefully carved and dressed doll. The clothes and jewelry on her body were worth more than 200,000 yuan. Add to that the Porsche behind her worth more than one million yuan. It was really hard for Lu Xingchen to imagine that this person was still daring not to resist when someone forced her to drink a whole bottle of wine in order to make money more than half a year ago.
Zhang Chun'er wanted to hug Lu Xingchen eagerly, "Sister Xingchen..."
The scent of Chanel made Lu Xingchen lean back slightly, and his hands reached forward to hold Zhang Chun'er's shoulders without leaving any trace. "Long time no see, Chun'er."
Zhang Chun'er smiled and took a step back, looking Lu Xingchen up and down, "Sister Xingchen, you are still as beautiful as before."
Lu Xingchen smiled, "You are more beautiful than before."
"No way." Zhang Chun'er said this, and when she saw Chen Xiaoyun walking behind her, she took her hand and said, "I heard from Xiaoyun that you work in the technical department, and your salary should be very high. Why don't you buy a car?"
Lu Xingchen said casually: "I don't have a driver's license yet."
"Then where do you live? If it's convenient, I can pick you up every day to go to work together!"
"Where do you live?"
"Zhujiang New Town." A high-end residential area with a monthly rent of about 30,000 yuan. "Xiaoyun lives with me now."
Chen Xiaoyun smiled and said, "I'm just living here for free, I don't have to pay rent."
Zhang Chun'er: "What do you mean by staying for free? I'm asking you to be my life assistant, so I think you should provide food and accommodation, right?"
Chen Xiaoyun laughed embarrassedly.
Lu Xingchen smiled faintly, "It's a pity that I'm not going this way, otherwise I could have gotten a ride. It's not convenient to park here for a long time, let's go."
Zhang Chun'er was driving, while Lu Xingchen and Chen Xiaoyun were sitting in the back.
On the way, Zhang Chun'er called to order food, "Hello, I'm a friend of Zhencheng Li Zhen. Can I get a table when I go over now... Okay, thank you."
After hanging up the phone, she glanced at Lu Xingchen in the rearview mirror and said, "Not only is there a seat, but it's also a river view seat."
Chen Xiaoyun asked: "Chun'er, is your relationship with Mr. Li so good now?"
"That's not good. It's just that I exceeded my sales target during the last Double Eleven, so Boss Li brought our entire team over for a working lunch."
Chen Xiaoyun immediately added: "At the Double 12 celebration banquet, you asked Mr. Li to help you with something, and didn't Mr. Li agree?"
Zhang Chun'er looked at Lu Xingchen in the rearview mirror with a guilty conscience. "That was when our marketing department's CEO Jiang made a bet with me. He said if I could sell a certain amount, he would fulfill my wish, as long as it wasn't for his body. When this happened at the celebration banquet that day, CEO Li was right beside us. I embarrassed CEO Jiang and told him that I wanted him to do something for me. I didn't expect CEO Jiang to actually help me get it."
After she finished speaking, she saw that Lu Xingchen's expression was still calm, and added jokingly, "Of course, it can't be a wish for Mr. Li's health."
The corners of Lu Xingchen's mouth curled up into a smile as if he was listening to a story.
Chen Xiaoyun smiled and asked again: "What did you ask Mr. Li to help you do?"
"I don't have the time. I have to shoot New Year-themed videos for various broadcasts at the end of the year, and Mr. Li is also busy with various annual meetings. We have only met a few times."
Chen Xiaoyun suddenly asked Lu Xingchen, "You often meet with Mr. Li, right?"
Lu Xingchen: “No.”
Chen Xiaoyun: "I thought you had a good relationship with Mr. Li and would meet often. If it weren't for you, Mr. Li would definitely not come forward for us."
Lu Xingchen: "Ordinary alumni."
A few of them chatted as they arrived at Zhuoyue. In addition to the twelve dishes that Zhuoyue customized daily, Zhang Chun'er also ordered a bottle of wine. Coincidentally, it was the Romanee-Conti that Li Zhen ordered last time.
The waiter poured them the decanted wine and politely left.
Zhang Chun'er picked up the goblet, turned it around, sniffed it, and said, "I think the wine that Mr. Li ordered last time is delicious. I'll give it to you guys to try."
Chen Xiaoyun looked at the wine in the glass and said, "Forget about tasting Xingchen. She can taste any wine."
Lu Xingchen: "I may not know about new products."
Zhang Chun'er raised her glass, "No matter whether they know it or not, we are not forced to drink it. Come on, let's drink for our own happiness."
The three of them clinked their cups together and each took a sip.
Chen Xiaoyun couldn't taste anything good and was too embarrassed to say anything, so he asked Zhang Chun'er in a low voice, "Is this wine expensive?"
Zhang Chun'er smiled: "Not bad, 50,000 or 60,000 per bottle."
Chen Xiaoyun's eyes widened. Wouldn't that mean each sip would cost hundreds of dollars? In such a high-end place, Chen Xiaoyun felt embarrassed to appear so unsophisticated, so he just quickly took another sip.
Lu Xingchen's cell phone rang at this time. She frowned when she saw that it was Li Zhen calling. She didn't want to answer it, but she didn't want to appear to be avoiding him. Besides, he was still her boss. Lu Xingchen hesitated for a moment and finally answered the phone.
"Hey?"
Li Zhen asked: "Where are you?"
Lu Xingchen: "Eating out with friends."
“When will it end?”
Lu Xingchen glanced at Zhang Chun'er opposite him, "What's the matter?
"Oh... Li Wen wants to have dinner with you, so he asked me to ask you when you are free."
Then why didn't Li Wen go find her himself? "Sorry, I'm already eating. I'll find him myself when I have time."
Li Zhen, who was standing in the corridor outside the AI department, held his forehead in annoyance when he saw Mei's call being hung up. Shouldn't he have used Li Wen as an excuse?
But Lu Xingchen had already rejected his mother, so Li Wen was the only one left. Otherwise, if he used his own identity, he expected that she would reject him even more harshly.
I knew she often worked overtime, so I wanted to meet her in the AI department by chance. But I didn't meet her and was turned down.
Li Zhen was feeling irritated when his cell phone rang. Even though he knew it wasn't him, he was still expecting it to be Lu Xingchen, so much so that he was disappointed when he saw Song Boxian's name.
"Hey?"
"Who asked you to do that?" Song Baixian said with a smile, "How about I tell you something fun? The beautiful lady from your company is having dinner at my place. Do you want to come over and meet her?"
"Your name is Song Baixian, not someone who has nothing to do after having enough food."
"Don't you want to ask who it is?"
"boring."
Song Baixian, who was standing at the counter, looked at the person sitting opposite Zhang Chun'er and said, "Yeah, the ex-girlfriend is really boring."
Li Zhen's expression suddenly changed, "Who are you talking about?"
"Don't you want to know?"
Li Zhen didn't ask who it was and asked directly: "Which store of yours is she in?"
