Tan Lina was lying on the recliner with her legs crossed. She was wearing a pair of glasses, so even if the sarcasm and pride on her lips were very shallow, it was still clear at a glance. She looked at Lu Xingchen through her sunglasses and said slowly, "You guys order what you want to drink. I'll pay the bill later."

Zhao Wenjing was very steady in her eating and said with a smile, "Team Leader, can we order something more expensive?"

Without waiting for Tan Lina to answer, Team 7 leader Yuan Yaqing said, "Your team leader is going to win the grand prize. It would be a piece of cake for you to buy all the food at this small dessert station, right, Team Leader Tan?"

Tan Lina glanced at Yuan Yaqing from behind her sunglasses, and said with a fake smile, "I know that Team Leader Yuan's father is Deputy Zhang of the Marketing Department and knows a lot of inside information, but the competition is anonymously judged, Team Leader Yuan, please don't joke with me."

She also specifically called Team Leader Yuan, and mentioned that her father was Deputy Zhang. The father and daughter had two different surnames, which was obviously a deliberate irony that the two were not biological father and daughter.

Li Juan, the leader of Group 2, was afraid that the two would quarrel, so she said, "Okay, I know one of you has a father who is a big leader, and the other has won a big prize, isn't that enough?"

Li Juan was a bit disappointed. The internal fighting had just begun. Zhao Wenjing was quite disappointed and said with a smile: "Then we won't be polite, team leader. Let's go get some drinks."

Lu Xingchen and Zhao Wenjing were about to walk towards the dessert station when Zhang Xinran said, "Xingchen, please sit for a while. Let Xiaojia and Wenjing get the food."

Tong Xiaojia felt a little uncomfortable being ordered around in public, but she still stood up and said to Zhao Wenjing, "I'll go with you to get some food."

Zhao Wenjing glanced at Lu Xingchen first, and when she nodded to indicate that she was fine, she said to Zhao Wenjing, "Okay, let's go."

After they left, Lu Xingchen sat down in Tong Xiaojia's seat.

Zhang Xinran, who was sitting on the recliner, turned to look at her and asked with a smile, "Xingchen, have you heard about Xu Nanhe winning the award?"

"No."

"No way. Although it hasn't been announced yet, the news of the award has spread privately. Our new four departments have won two awards, and it is said that one of them is the grand prize. Both awards came from our group."

She was talking about the New Four Departments, and she was stepping on all the contestants from the New Four Departments. Yuan Yaqing's face became even uglier because she was also participating in the competition.

Zhang Xinran didn't care whether she looked good or not, she just said to Lu Xingchen: "It just so happens that our group only has two entries, so Xu Nanhe must be on the list of winners."

Lu Xingchen asked calmly, "So he won a small prize and you won a big prize?"

Zhang Xinran didn't expect that she would take advantage of this loophole and was unable to respond for a moment.

Yuan Yaqing then joked: "Perhaps Team Leader Tan and his team won because they had more people."

Tan Lina snorted coldly, "Yes, there are four people in our group participating in the competition. If both awards are from our group as you said, then our group does have a lot of people."

I have to say that Tan Lina responded well. Lu Xingchen didn't interrupt her. He wasn't here to argue with them, so why waste his breath.

At this time, Zhao Wenjing came back with a big bag of things, "Team Leader, this is your treat, everyone please eat as much as you can. If there is not enough, Xiaojia and the store clerk will bring it to us later."

Even though Tan Lina agreed to treat us, she couldn't help but look unhappy when she saw so many things. Maybe the money was okay, but it was really uncomfortable to be the one being taken advantage of.

Lu Xingchen curved his lips, picked up a coconut with a straw from the pile of food and drinks, and said to Zhao Wenjing, "Thank you."

Yuan Yaqing obviously realized that they were not on the same side as Tan Lina and the others. Whether out of instigation or adding fuel to the fire, she just didn't want to feel unhappy alone, so she brought Lu Xingchen in to deal with Tan Lina without thinking.

"Lu Xingchen, I heard that you said before that it was because of your contribution that the nine groups that had always been in the last three were able to be rated as the top three. But now, why is it that Team Leader Tan won the award instead of you?"

This was exactly what Tan Lina and Zhang Xinran wanted to hear, and they both immediately looked at Lu Xingchen.

Tan Lina couldn't help but sarcastically say, "Perhaps in Xingchen's eyes, other people's awards are just luck, and she is the real support of Group Nine. If you say no to her again, she will be angry and continue to work for nothing, leaving Group Nine to fend for itself."

"You..." Zhao Wenjing was so angry that she wanted to jump up and down.

Before she spoke, Lu Xingchen said, "I'm sorry, Team Leader. If you think that what I said to you before was unrealistic, please be magnanimous and don't bother with me."

She did apologize, but she still insisted that she was telling the truth.

Not only did Tan Lina feel like she had punched cotton, but what made her even more upset was that she didn't dare to gamble at the moment. She could maintain the performance of Group Nine without Lu Xingchen. It was precisely because of her guilty conscience that she missed the opportunity to immediately fight back against Lu Xingchen.

At this moment, Gao Xin, Xu Nanhe and others also came over.

The atmosphere was obviously a bit tense, and Gao Xin was the first to ask in a familiar manner: "What's going on? The atmosphere among the beauties seems to be a little off."

Zhang Xinran has always disliked Lu Xingchen, and now she is even more unhappy with her using her appearance to gain favor in the eyes of men. When Zhang Xin asked her, she answered:

"Nothing, it's just that Xingchen teased us before and said that our team leader and we have limited abilities, and that our team's good performance is all her credit. Now that we have won the award, she said that we were just lucky."

"Zhang Xinran." Zhao Wenjing gave Zhang Xinran a thumbs up. "You are really good at confusing right and wrong. What you just said was used against Xingchen."

Zhang Xinran patted her plump chest in surprise, fearing that there would be a misunderstanding, and tried to smooth things over. "No way, maybe I misunderstood. Xingchen, isn't what you just said what I understood?"

Lu Xingchen looked at her like a frightened rabbit, smiled faintly and said: "No, I mean what you understand. The next million championship, or any other competition, as long as you participate, remember to tell me, I will also sign up."

This man was as calm as he was usually seen, but he was also very arrogant. Perhaps the so-called "destroying the enemy in the midst of laughter and chat" was just like this. Everyone was shocked by this declaration of war without gunpowder smoke. Looking at Lu Xingchen again at this moment, she was so beautiful that it was indescribable.

Zhao Wenjing was so excited that she wanted to stamp her feet. After all, her star god didn't even waste words when arguing and declared war directly. He was so domineering.

Seeing that no one from Tan Lina's group took up the challenge, Lu Xingchen calmly raised the coconut and gestured to Tan Lina, "Team leader, congratulations on winning the grand prize, and thank you for treating us."

After saying that, she stood up with the coconut and said to everyone present with an apologetic smile, "Sorry to spoil everyone's fun, you guys continue to play, we'll leave first."
