But why was she still so upset?
Especially when she saw this kind of news. Was there still hope in the deepest part of her heart? Hope that he chose to divorce because of her. Hope that he became single again. Hope that they could continue the happiness that they couldn't continue in the past.
…
Bai Lu reached out and held her head. Her whole body slumped on the table. Too many images flashed through her messy mind. What she couldn't control was that these images were all about her and Liang Feifan.
It was like there were two souls living in her body, one on the left and one on the right, controlling her thoughts. Heaven and earth were at war, but the person who was in the most pain was still her.
…
City A, Liang Clan CEO's office.
Liang Feifan casually flipped through the documents in front of him with one hand and held a cigarette with the other. The whole office was filled with a strong smell of tobacco. His deep and handsome face was completely hidden under the white smoke, dark and gloomy.
Standing opposite him, Guan Chao muttered to himself for a moment before saying, "… Mr. Liang, there are too many unfavorable reports about us. Are we really going to let them develop like this? I think if this continues, those old guys on the board of directors might not be able to sit still. When the time comes … "
"It's okay."
Liang Feifan frowned. He slowly raised the hand holding the cigarette and took another puff. His voice was a little hoarse. "As bad as it can get, let it develop as bad as it can. Let the media blow it up. Those old guys on the board of directors just want to fill their pockets. When the board meeting comes back, I know how to appease them."
Guan Chao pursed his lips. He still couldn't figure out what Liang Feifan's motive was.
In fact, they had a lot of evidence on hand that could refute those reports. For example, evidence that Ye Lian had been sleeping with other men for the past year, evidence that she had taken drugs, and evidence that was unfavorable to Ye Zijie. All of these could turn the Liang Clan around overnight. However, Mr. Liang still wasn't sure if he would touch those. Guan Chao couldn't understand. What was Mr. Liang waiting for?
Liang Feifan closed the documents in his hand and threw them directly to Guan Chao. He pinched the cigarette between his fingers and lit another one for himself. He took two puffs and said slowly, "… You don't understand, right? Why let the Liang Clan fall into this predicament? And the projects on hand will be forced to stop. The Liang Clan's losses will be severe. "
Guan Chao nodded.
"I'm betting."
He was betting with the entire Liang Clan. He was betting on his last chance!
Liang Feifan narrowed his eyes. His voice was calm. His thumb and index finger gently rubbed the cigarette between his fingers. His delicate facial features were soft under the light of the chandelier overhead. Guan Chao seemed to understand something in an instant. He then heard Liang Feifan say, "… I once gave up on her for the sake of the Liang Clan. Now, I'm waiting for her to come back to me. I've done everything I can. If she still refuses to come back, then losing the entire Liang Clan is my last resort."
Guan Chao was speechless.
Mr. Liang was probably talking about Bai Lu, right? He knew that Bai Lu had already returned from England. He also knew that Mr. Liang had gone to C City to see Bai Lu. But wasn't it crazy to lose the entire Liang Clan for a woman?
"Mr. Liang …"
"Guan Chao, you've been with me for so many years. You should know my temper. You don't have to say anything when I've decided on something. I know what I'm doing."
The way Liang Feifan puffed out the smoke made him look even more sexy and charming. He had been staying at the Liang Clan for the past few days, so he smoked even more fiercely. In fact, he didn't look as energetic as before. But in his laziness, there was a sense of depth that belonged to Liang Feifan.
Guan Chao heard his deep voice. "… Three days. This is the limit I'm giving myself. If she really doesn't want me anymore, I'll make a new decision."
"…"
"… In the next few days, you have to go out and promote those reports that are unfavorable to the Liang family. You have to do it as badly as possible. The reports must not only be in City A, understand?"
For four whole days, Bai Lu, who was in C City, could see all kinds of reports about the Liang Clan that were far away in A City.
It was just a marriage between a rich and powerful family, but because it involved all kinds of interests, it turned into a situation where Liang Feifan abandoned his wife. Although Bai Lu wasn't involved, she was still related to this matter. Outsiders didn't know about it, but she knew very well.
The situation turned out like this because the Ye Clan was behind it. But what she couldn't understand was why a person like Liang Feifan didn't refute it. He actually allowed such rumors to attack him and the Liang Clan. Didn't he value the Liang Clan more than anything else?
Bai Lu threw the newspaper in her hand into the trash can. She shook her head and told herself that this was Liang Feifan's business. She didn't have to worry about it anymore. How could a man like him let the huge Liang Clan be destroyed by such rumors?
Bai Lu reached out and pressed her aching temples. Just as she flipped open a folder in front of her, there was a knock on the door. She answered casually and someone pushed the door open. When Bai Lu raised her head, she realized that the person who was looking for her was actually the head of the design department.
She was a woman in her early thirties. Bai Lu remembered that her name was Li Yuxiao. She seemed to be married and had two children at home. She had worked in Lati for many years. The position of design director should have been hers, but in the end, it fell on Bai Lu's head. It was precisely because of this reason that this woman had been slandering Bai Lu behind her back ever since Bai Lu entered Lati. Previously, when Liang Feifan reported the news, she was the first to take the lead. However, after Wen Zhaoren said a few words in front of everyone that day, this woman naturally panicked.
After waiting for four days, there was still no movement. In the middle, she looked for Wen Zhaoren, but it just so happened that Wen Zhaoren wasn't in City C these days. In the end, she came to Bai Lu obediently. In fact, if she didn't come, Bai Lu would have already forgotten about what happened that day.
If you cared too much about things like rumors, how tiring would your life be?
"… Director Bai."
Li Yuxiao lowered her voice and greeted him. Although it was a simple three words, it was obvious that she wasn't willing to give up. Bai Lu wasn't surprised. She had always been uncomfortable with him. Now that she was obviously here to apologize, it was natural that she would be even more unhappy.
Bai Lu put down the pen in his hand and sat elegantly at the large office desk. There wasn't much expression on his face. "General Manager Li, why are you looking for me?"
"…" Li Yuxiao didn't speak. Her hands were clasped in front of her chest cautiously. Bai Lu waited for a while, but she still didn't speak. Her expression was one of reluctance. Bai Lu laughed. "… General Manager Li, if you haven't thought of what to say to me, please leave. I still have a lot of work to do." "… I have something to say." Bai Lu raised his eyebrows and looked at the woman opposite him. He wanted to hear if she could really say "I'm sorry" with such a disgruntled look on her face.
"… Director Bai, to be honest, I'm indeed unhappy that you suddenly came in out of nowhere. I've worked hard for six whole years in lati. My youth, all my hard work and energy have been dedicated to lati. You might say that lati has also given me a lot of benefits. That's right, it's mutually beneficial. However, I've always thought that the position you're sitting in now would belong to me, Li Yuxiao. I didn't expect that someone would come out of nowhere. It's not without reason that I hate you. We're both women. If you were me, would you be indifferent? As for what I said about you in the office before, it's indeed my fault. I know that Manager Wen and Mr. Liang are good friends, so it serves me right for him to protect you. I actually came in today to apologize to you, but now I can't wait to say everything that's on my mind … "Bai Lu smiled but didn't say anything. Her slender fingers played with the paintbrush between her fingers and tapped the folder occasionally. The sound was so soft that it was almost inaudible. She waited for the woman opposite her to say something that was on her mind.
Li Yuxiao took a deep breath. "… I don't care if you're really capable or not, but from my point of view, you did rely on a man to get in. You probably don't know.
Originally, when you entered lati, the project that you took over was actually Mr. Liang from the Liang Clan. He sacrificed most of the benefits to cooperate with lati. Why is there such a big project for you to do as soon as you're promoted? Do you think this is a coincidence? Although I was born and raised in C City, everyone knows how famous the Liang Clan is. Because of this project, I once looked up Mr. Liang on the Internet. Of course, I also found out about what happened between you and Mr. Liang a year ago. It just so happens that I have a friend who works in the media in A City. She told me that you were working in EC City a year ago in A City. What you're doing today is all because of Mr. Liang, am I right? " "…" Bai Lu pursed her lips and didn't say anything. Her hand that was playing with the paintbrush subconsciously paused. Her eyes were a little dazed for a moment. Yes, he personally promoted her all the way to where she was now. Without Liang Feifan, Bai Lu probably wouldn't be where she was today, right?
"I don't know what happened between you and Mr. Liang. Of course, this has nothing to do with me. I'm just unhappy! Even if you didn't rely on Manager Wen to get here, you still relied on Mr. Liang. What right do you have to tell us what to do?
