The President's Tender Trap
Chapter 19 External Challenges
As Su Wan and Lu Ming's relationship grows closer, their understanding and trust deepen. However, just as they are enjoying this sweet time, competition in the workplace quietly approaches, and external challenges begin to put pressure on their relationship.
Lu Ming's company is undergoing a critical project review, and many competitors are secretly observing, hoping to take advantage of the opportunity to attack Lu Ming and weaken his influence. Meanwhile, Su Wan's performance has also aroused the jealousy of some, especially her colleague Li Ming, who is dissatisfied with Su Wan's ability and even tries to use this opportunity to cause trouble.
One weekday evening, Lu Ming was working overtime in the office when he suddenly received a call from Su Wan. "Lu Ming, are you free now? I want to talk to you."
"Of course, Su Wan. I'll wait for you in the office." Lu Ming put down the work in his hands, looking forward to Su Wan's arrival.
Not long after, Su Wan walked into the office and saw Lu Ming working diligently. She couldn't help but feel distressed. "You've been working too hard lately. Don't forget to take care of yourself."
"Thank you, Su Wan. I will pay attention." Lu Ming smiled slightly, but a hint of fatigue appeared in his eyes.
"I heard that your competitors have put pressure on you recently. Are you okay?" Su Wan asked with concern, feeling uneasy.
Lu Ming nodded. "It's okay. I can handle it. But I'm worried about how it will affect you in the company."
"I'll be careful." Su Wan said firmly, secretly deciding in her heart to support Lu Ming.
Just then, Li Ming walked in with a disdainful smile on his face. "Lu Ming, I heard that you've been getting along well with Amelia Su recently. I'm really envious. However, there's no such thing as affection in the workplace, especially when you're the target."
Li Ming's words were like a sharp knife, piercing Su Wan's heart. "What do you mean?" Su Wan couldn't help but ask back, feeling a surge of unease in her heart.
"I just want to remind you that competition in the workplace is cruel and trust between people is not reliable." Li Ming smiled coldly, with a provocative look in his eyes.
"Are you threatening us?" Lu Ming's voice was low, with anger flashing in his eyes.
"I'm not threatening, I'm just stating the facts." Li Ming shrugged, turned and left, leaving behind an angry atmosphere.
"Sorry, Su Wan, I don't want you to be involved in these disputes." Lu Ming sighed, feeling angry at Li Ming's malice.
"It's okay, I will stand on your side." Su Wan said firmly, secretly deciding in her heart to help Lu Ming face the challenge.
As time went by, Lu Ming encountered a series of challenges in the workplace. Competitors continued to put pressure on him, trying to undermine his leadership, and some even began to spread rumors about him and Su Wan, trying to use this relationship to create chaos.
Su Wan was very worried when she learned about this. She decided not to sit idly by and wait for death, but to take the initiative and show her ability to help Lu Ming cope with these challenges.
"Lu Ming, I want to participate in this project and help you solve the problem." Su Wan put forward her idea at a meeting.
"Are you sure? This project is highly competitive and risky." Lu Ming was a little worried, fearing that Su Wan would be hurt.
"I believe in my ability and I am willing to share the pressure with you." There was a firm light in Su Wan's eyes. She hoped to prove the value of this relationship through her own efforts.
Lu Ming finally agreed to Su Wan's proposal, feeling touched and relieved. He knew that Su Wan's courage and determination would be an important force for them to face challenges together.
In the days that followed, Su Wan worked closely with Lu Ming to delve into the details of the project. Using her expertise in market research, she helped Lu Ming analyze competitors' trends and propose a series of practical solutions.
"Su Wan, your thinking is so clear!" Lu Ming exclaimed, his eyes full of admiration. "If we can develop in this direction, we should be able to defeat our competitors."
"I hope so," Su Wan smiled, her heart brimming with confidence. She felt her collaboration with Lu Ming grow stronger and stronger. This wasn't just about working together, but also about their mutual trust and support.
However, external pressure continued, and competitors such as Li Ming began to intensify their suppression of Lu Ming. One day, Su Wan received an anonymous call in her office, warning her to be careful of Lu Ming and implying that he was not trustworthy.
"Who are you? Why are you saying that?" Su Wan felt a chill in her heart. After hanging up the phone, she felt confused and uneasy. "What's wrong? You look nervous." Lu Ming noticed Su Wan's unusual behavior and asked with concern.
"I received an anonymous call and they warned me to be careful of you." Su Wan's voice trembled a little, and she was secretly worried in her heart.
"Don't worry, this kind of thing is very common in the workplace. It might be a shady trick by a competitor." Lu Ming analyzed calmly, "I will protect you and won't let you be affected."
Su Wan felt a warm feeling in her heart, but she also understood that the external challenges would not stop there. She decided to work harder, show her ability, and help Lu Ming cope with these difficulties together.
In the following work, Su Wan went all out, actively participated in various decision-making, and tried her best to support Lu Ming. Her cooperation with Lu Ming became more and more tacit, and the trust and understanding between them continued to deepen.
One night, Su Wan and Lu Ming were working overtime in the office, very busy. Suddenly, Lu Ming's phone rang. He received an important call and his face was solemn.
"I need to meet a client and may be back late." Lu Ming looked at Su Wan with an apologetic look in his eyes.
"It's okay, I'll wait for you here." Su Wan smiled slightly, her heart full of understanding.
After Lu Ming left, Su Wan was alone in the office thinking about the progress of the project and trying to find a solution. At this moment, Li Ming suddenly appeared at the door with a sinister smile on his face.
"Su Wan, I heard that you are trying hard to help Lu Ming, but do you know that he is not trustworthy?" Li Ming's voice was low and provocative.
"What do you want to say again?" Su Wan's tone was cold and she was alert in her heart.
"I just want to remind you that there's no real love in the workplace, only interests." Li Ming took a step closer, a sinister glint in his eyes. "Do you really think he'd give up his career for you?"
Su Wan's heart tightened. Li Ming's words were like a thorn that pierced her heart. However, she took a deep breath and tried to remain calm. "I believe Lu Ming. He is a capable person and will not be swayed by interests."
"Oh, how naive." Li Ming sneered and shook his head. "What would you think if I told you that he was under pressure because of you?"
Su Wan's heart was shaken. Li Ming's words made her feel uneasy. She began to wonder if Lu Ming was really affected by her.
"Don't be afraid, Lu Ming will be hurt because of you." Li Ming's voice continued to sound, as if trying to sow discord.
Su Wan was furious. She would never let Li Ming's plot succeed. She took a deep breath and said firmly, "I won't be influenced by you. I know what I want."
"Okay, I wish you good luck." Li Ming smiled coldly, turned and left, but left a shadow in Su Wan's heart.
When Lu Ming returned to the office, Su Wan had already sorted out her thoughts and couldn't wait to discuss the progress of the project with him. She decided to tell Lu Ming about Li Ming's warning, but she didn't want him to worry.
"Lu Ming, I'm thinking about what needs to be improved in our plan." Su Wan smiled slightly and secretly made up her mind to prove her trust with actions.
"I think your idea is very good and can be adjusted." Lu Ming responded, his eyes revealing his admiration and trust for Su Wan.
