Li Junsheng didn't hide it this time and laughed out loud. He was only 33 years old this year. However, he had been in power for a long time. Other than in front of people close to him, he didn't show his emotions most of the time.
Most of the time, he could even deal with the pressure from all sides with a smile.
The little girl in front of him just said a few words, but he couldn't help but laugh.
"Uncle Li, you –" Ye Zhen was a little uncertain. Li Junsheng stopped laughing, but the smile in his eyes didn't diminish at all.
"Yes. I understand what you mean. "
"Then you –"
"Don't worry, you've already called me uncle. I won't do anything to my niece."
"Thank you, Uncle Li." Ye Zhen was relieved. She picked up the teacup again. "Uncle Li, let me toast you with tea instead of wine."
Li Junsheng picked up the teacup and clinked it with her. Seeing the little girl smile, her eyes seemed to light up like stars, his mood suddenly improved a little.
..
After dinner, Ye Zhen didn't exchange too much pleasantries with Li Junsheng. After parting with him, she got into her car.
At this time, Ling Xuan called her. "Zhenzhen, I found the gigolo."
"Really?" Ye Zhen's eyes lit up. "Where? I'll be right there. "
"I'm at the Flower Club on Sand Star Road." She reported her location to Ye Zhen. "Where are you? Should I wait for you to come and go in together, or – "
"Wait for me. Keep an eye on him and don't let him run away. "
After saying that, Ye Zhen put her phone aside, stepped on the accelerator, and went to Sand Star Road.
In less than 20 minutes, Ye Zhen saw the man. How should she put it? At first glance, he was different from what she remembered.
She sat there with a cold look in her eyes. Ling Xuan looked at her expression, then looked at the gigolo sitting not far away.
The man was talking and laughing with a woman who looked to be around 40 years old. He didn't forget to put one hand on the woman's waist, and the expression on his face was indulgent and somewhat obscene.
"What's wrong?"
"Are you sure? Is it him? "
"It's him." Ling Xuan nodded. "I've asked clearly. Recently, his account suddenly increased by 200,000 yuan. Although the remittance account wasn't Ye Ninghan or Chen Wan's, it was Chen Wan's younger brother who sent the money. "
"Two hundred thousand for one night. This money is too easy to earn." Since that was the case, it was most likely this person.
Ye Zhen kept staring at the gigolo as he spoke, but he couldn't connect this person with the person from that night.
"Wait a moment. I bought him a clock. It's almost time. "
Ling Xuan glanced over as she spoke. Ye Zhen saw the male host grope the woman's body again.
He didn't know what he said, but the woman was so happy. She took out the tip and stuffed it into his shirt.
"What era is this? Still using cash, seriously —"
Ling Xuan sneered. Not long after, he saw the cowherd walking over.
Ling Xuan had already asked around and found out that the people working here didn't use their real names. Instead, they used stage names. This cowherd's stage name was Monan.
As he got closer, Ye Zhen could see him more clearly.
The person in front of her was very thin, very thin. She remembered that the man from that night was also thin, but he was lean. She could even vaguely remember the abdominal muscles on his waist.
She glanced at Monan. There was no sense of familiarity, only unfamiliarity.
"Two beautiful sisters, which one of you called my clock? Or are you two together? "
Monan was about to sit down as he spoke, but his eyes widened when he saw Ye Zhen's face.
"You —"
"I what?" Ye Zhen's face was completely devoid of the naivety she had pretended to have in front of Li Junsheng.
Her expression was very cold, and her pair of gloomy eyes stared at Monan's face.
Monan had worked in this Flower Picking Society for a long time, and he thought that he had seen all kinds of women.
But at this moment, he was still shocked by Ye Zhen's gaze. He swallowed his saliva and tried to calm his breathing.
"Miss, although I didn't serve you that day, I won't refund the money. If you feel that it was a loss, I can accompany you again tonight. "
What? Ye Zhen and Ling Xuan looked at each other with shock written all over their faces.
…
Half an hour later, Ling Xuan looked at Ye Zhen, her eyes full of worry. "How are you? Are you okay? "
The news they had just received was too shocking. Monan actually said that it wasn't him that night. He said that he had indeed received a sum of money, and also said that he had been hinted by the person who gave him the money to "accompany" Ye Zhen for a night.
But that night, he did nothing. Because he had been waiting in the hotel room for Ye Zhen to come, but he didn't see him. In the end, he just thought that someone had paid him to play a trick.
Or perhaps these rich ladies couldn't afford to play and gave up. He didn't expect Ye Zhen to come to him today. He thought that Ye Zhen was here to ask for the money back.
"Do you believe what Monan said?"
"I do." Ye Zhen nodded.
Her straightforwardness puzzled Ling Xuan. "You believe what he says?"
"Not entirely." At first, it was because of Monan's first words, and then she had doubts after seeing his figure.
After all, the man that night looked more muscular than Monan. Also, although it was on the bed, Ye Zhen could still feel that the man seemed to be very tall.
It was true that she had a quick glance that day, but the man's feet had already reached the end of the bed. It could be seen that the man was definitely not short when he was awake.
Just now, Monan didn't look short, but she guessed that he was at most 1.75 to 1.78 meters tall. And the man that day was at least 1.8 meters tall.
When all the details were put together, Ye Zhen believed in her own judgment.
"If it wasn't him, then who could it be?"
It was easier to handle if she knew it was a prostitute, but now it was all over.
Ye Zhen shook her head. "I don't know." It had been a few days since she saw the man's profile that day. The impression in her mind became fainter and fainter.
"Forget it." Ye Zhen didn't think about it for the time being. "Just think of it as being bitten by a dog."
"Zhenzhen?"
"Don't mention it."
Ye Zhen didn't want to mention it. Ling Xuan had to mention it. "That, Zhenzhen, it's really not that I want to spoil your mood. Have you ever thought that you don't care, but what if there are sequelae that day?"
As she spoke, she glanced at Ye Zhen's stomach. Ye Zhen slapped the back of her hand hard.
"That's enough. I took the medicine. "
She wasn't that naive. Even if it was the first time, even she was unwilling. But she couldn't bear the consequences of acting recklessly now.
Not to mention anything else, if she was really pregnant with the child of a man of unknown origin, Lu Manjiang would probably be the first to beat her up.
"That's good." Ling Xuan breathed a sigh of relief, but she didn't completely let it go. "This stepsister of yours is really vicious. In fact, it's good that you didn't get together with that prostitute. At least, maybe it was just an accident. "
Ye Zhen was silent. Of course, she knew how vicious Ye Yinghan's heart was under her sweet appearance.
"Don't worry. I've prepared a big gift for her. "
It was impolite not to reciprocate. It couldn't be that she could only accept gifts from others, but she couldn't retaliate herself, right?
… …
When Ye Zhen entered the company, she felt the gazes of the people around her. Those gazes made her very uncomfortable.
She quickly entered the elevator in her high heels. When she went upstairs, she received a message from Xiao Xu, a colleague who had a good relationship with her.
"Ye Zhen, something happened. Where are you?"
"What's the matter?"
"The boss came down and said that the plan we made for Ninghai was leaked."
Ye Zhen's palm suddenly tightened. She didn't even have time to reply to the message. The moment the elevator door opened, she quickly rushed out.
"Ye Zhen." Xiao Xu saw her and quickly stood up. "You're finally here. It's all over the company today. They said that the case in Ninghai was leaked, and they said that you — "
She didn't finish her words, but Ye Zhen knew what she meant.
"Where's Manager Gu?"
"He was called up." Xiao Xu pointed up, which was naturally Ye Nanshan's office.
Ye Zhen turned to go up, but Xiao Xu stopped her. "Ye Zhen. The higher-ups are angry. You — "
"Don't worry. I know. "Ye Zhen didn't want to stay. She patted Xiao Xu on the shoulder." Thank you, Xiao Xu. "
Ye Zhen didn't rush upstairs. She went to her office first. She was the team leader in the planning department and had her own independent office.
Sitting down behind the desk, she opened her laptop and browsed the internal forum of the company.
Ninghai's order this time was done for the Shogi Company because of the Lu family.
The Lu family had a high status in Qing City. Ye Zhen's grandfather, Lu Manjiang, was a well-known figure in Qing City. The so-called well-known did not mean how big the Lu family's business was or how powerful the company they ran was.
It was because Lu Manjiang was an economics professor. His students and old friends were all over the world.
The Lu family was a scholarly family. Not only Lu Manjiang, but Ye Zhen's grandmother was also a university professor. Ye Zhen's grandfather had two children. One was Ye Zhen's mother, Lu Hui. The other was Ye Zhen's uncle, Lu Zhixuan.
Lu Zhixuan was not much older than Ye Zhen. He was Lu Manjiang's son. Ye Zhen's grandmother accidentally got pregnant when she was very old and later gave birth to Lu Zhixuan.
After giving birth to Lu Zhixuan, Ye Zhen's grandmother injured her body and passed away not long after.
At that time, Lu Hui, who was already eighteen years old, took on the responsibility of taking care of her younger brother. Therefore, after his sister passed away, Lu Zhixuan paid special attention to Ye Zhen, his niece.
He was Lu Manjiang's child, young and mature. He was influenced by what he saw since he was young, and he started his own business in university.
Now, Lu Zhixuan's company was ranked quite high in Qing City. Although it couldn't compare to old families like the Zhan family and the Dong family, it still had a say in Qing City.
President Ning of Ninghai had a good relationship with Lu Zhixuan. For his sake, he handed Ninghai's project to Jiang Hui. Moreover, he appointed Ye Zhen to be in charge.
Ever since Ye Zhen got this project, she hadn't had a good rest for nearly a month.
Yesterday, she had just confirmed the final details with President Ning. She really couldn't figure out how such a thing could happen under such circumstances.
There was only one post that was the most discussed on the internal forum today, and it was also pinned at the top.
It said that Ye Zhen ate from two families. On one hand, she was planning for Ninghai, and on the other hand, she had dealings with Ninghai's rival, Zhongyuan Company.
The post not only had words, but also photos. It was a photo of her eating with the general manager of Zhongyuan Company.
Seeing that photo, Ye Zhen was really speechless. This photo was taken many days ago. At that time, Ninghai had just handed the case over to them.
And that day, she had an appointment with Ling Xuan, so they had a meal together. Halfway through, Ling Xuan answered the phone and went out for a while. That was when the general manager of Zhongyuan Company came over to greet her.
Although the other party was Ninghai's rival, they didn't have a bad relationship with Jiang Hui.
Ye Zhen didn't expect that she had just exchanged a few pleasantries with the other party, and someone had taken a photo and posted it on the company's internal forum?
Ye Zhen read the post from beginning to end. Before she could finish reading it, the internal line rang. It was Ye Nanshan.
"Come up and make yourself clear."
Hanging up the phone after saying this was Ye Nanshan's style. She was afraid that not only him, but there were also other people upstairs.
Ignoring Ye Nanshan's clamor, Ye Zhen first called the public relations department.
"Such a post has no basis in fact, and you dare to put it up? You don't want to do it anymore, do you? Okay, let's change people. "
After hanging up the phone, she called President Ning. As long as President Ning believed it, nothing else was a big problem.
Ye Zhen first dealt with the matter in front of her. In the middle, Ye Nanshan called again and asked her to go upstairs to make things clear. Ye Zhen's reaction was to ignore it. She directly picked up her bag and was ready to leave.
"Ye Zhen, you …" Ye Nanshan made a few calls but couldn't get her to come. He put down his face again. So he asked Gu Mingxiu to come down and call her up.
"I have an appointment with President Ning. Now I'm going to Ninghai Company. Is there a problem? "
Seeing the surprise on Gu Mingxiu's face, Ye Zhen smiled. "Don't worry, Manager Gu, this matter will be solved."
She would go to Ninghai now and make things clear with President Ning.
Ye Zhen went out and went directly in the direction of Ninghai Company. She believed that President Ning had his own judgment and would not easily believe that she would do such a thing.
What's more, there was an agreement between them. Even if Zhongyuan really knew about Ninghai's plan, so what? Would he dare to use it?
She thought so, but she did not dare to be careless. Some things had to be solved as soon as possible.
However, the more anxious she was, the more things would happen. Ye Zhen's car broke down halfway.
Ye Zhen got out of the car and called for a tow truck. She was about to call a taxi to Ninghai Company when she didn't know that there were people in several cars.
Just as she was about to call for a Didi, a black Audi stopped in front of her.
She took a step back and put down the back seat of the car. Li Junsheng's face was inside.
"Ye Zhen? You are … "
"Uncle Li?"
When Li Junsheng heard the little girl call him Uncle Li, a smile appeared on his face. "What's wrong? Did the car break down? "
"Yes." Ye Zhen nodded. "It's not easy to stop a taxi here. I was just about to call for a Didi."
"Where are you going? Get in the car, I'll give you a ride. "
