The leader is my girlfriend

Chapter 314: Lu Gong Gets Angry (Part 3)

"Um... please wait a moment." Chu Yueqi quickly opened his arms and stopped Cheng Yanzi from taking a step forward.

He met Lu Wanwan's sharp, scrutinizing gaze and said in a slightly lowered voice, "I'm very sorry about this matter." After that, he bowed to everyone present... and stood up and continued to speak sincerely, "I didn't think so much before. I took it for granted. I apologize everyone."

After hearing Chu Yueqi's words, the other staff members looked at each other in confusion. After a moment, they all expressed their apologies and reflected on themselves.

A colleague said with a guilty look on his face, "Mr. Chu, I have questions too. I didn't raise any issues in time, which led to some misunderstandings. I am also responsible."

Another colleague echoed, "Yes, I have a problem too. We who do scientific research should maintain a strong desire for knowledge and a spirit of in-depth exploration. I am too superficial."

"As for me, I certainly didn't lose face. As a result, not only did I fail to play the role I should have, but I also held everyone back and wasted a lot of time. I will reflect on this."

After this self-criticism, a brief silence fell. Chu Yueqi then turned his gaze to Lu Wanwan again, his eyes filled with expectation and earnestness. He said firmly, "Comrade Lu, I hope you can give me a chance to atone for my sins by allowing me to help translate this document, or simply give it to me and I can translate it alone."

Researchers are often stubborn and, once they've committed to a particular viewpoint or method, find it difficult to change their minds. But there's one good thing: they're quick to correct mistakes. If you're talking to them about something else, they might be stubborn and ignore you, but if you start discussing research itself, they'll immediately change their tune, listen carefully, and consider your opinions.

At this time, if the opinions you put forward are reasonable and constructive, they will not only agree with you, but will even reflect on whether their previous practices are correct. Lu Wanwan uses magic to defeat magic and judges the process with the possible consequences.

After a simple PUA brainwashing, she stopped, pulled and tugged, turned her gaze to Cheng Yanzi, and nodded slightly.

As the leader's capable "chief secretary," Cheng Yanzi naturally understood what he meant, so she took the initiative to speak, "Comrade Chu, please come with me. I need your help to finalize some professional terms."

Hearing this, Comrade Chu answered readily, "Okay."

From that day on, Lu Wanwan was in charge of the research institute, but she only watched and did not operate, and occasionally participated in analysis and discussion. No one really thought there was anything wrong. They just thought that she might be new and still in the stage of getting familiar with the environment and business processes, or that the new deputy director had not assigned her specific work tasks yet, so she currently did not have much actual work arrangements, and no one dared to guess that she was the new deputy director.

If Cheng Yanzi were to make an evaluation, she would definitely think that the person in front of her is a peacock spreading its tail tail!

Ever since Lu Wanwan's pua, Chu Yueqi seemed like a completely different person, becoming a chatterbox. He loved to get close to Lu Wanwan whenever he had something to do, and his mouth was like a cannon, chattering non-stop. Look, he came over again...

Chu Yueqi walked up to Lu Wanwan with a smile on his face and asked enthusiastically, "Comrade Lu, which Lu are you? Is it the 'Lu' of land, the 'Lu' of sika deer, or the 'Lu' of walking? Oh, by the way, I've also heard of someone with the last name 'Lu' as in 'enter'."

Lu Wanwan didn't even look at him and replied calmly, "Lu means 'Lu'."

After getting the answer, Chu Yueqi nodded excitedly and continued to ask, "Oh, this! Engineer Lu, are you a college graduate?"

Lu Wanwan frowned slightly, but still answered politely, "Yes."

Chu Yueqi's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he quickly asked, "Which university did you graduate from? What major did you study? I studied mechanical engineering at Nanjing University."

Lu Wanwan said expressionlessly, "Peking University, majoring in World Economics."

Chu Yueqi was slightly stunned when he heard these words, but he quickly recovered and said with a smile, "Based on our ages, I should be considered your senior. What kind of research have you been involved in before? My main research area is..."

Before Lu Wanwan could respond, Chu Yueqi silently changed the subject. "Comrade Cheng Yanzi is your assistant, right? Are you interested in joining my research team? As partners, my research is quite stable. Although there are still some difficulties to overcome, I believe that with enough time and support, I can achieve success and successfully implement it. I sincerely invite you and Comrade Cheng Yanzi to join us."

What does it mean to be speechless? For top students, having ample self-confidence seems to be an innate trait. Chu Yueqi firmly believed that if such an outstanding person like him invited Lu Wanwan, she would definitely not refuse him, so he didn't rush for a clear answer.

Chu Yueqi smiled and suggested calmly, "Comrade Lu, please think about it. When you're ready, please let me know. Don't worry, I can help you apply to the leadership. Although I'm not very familiar with the new deputy director, please believe that I still have a certain influence in the institute. As long as I go all out, I believe it will definitely not be a problem."

Lu Wanwan remained silent in response to Chu Yueqi's series of questions. She assumed that he was just talking to himself.

Chu Yueqi's idea was - it doesn't matter, Engineer Lu must be quiet, people who like research have some little quirks, just like others say that he is too sharp-tongued and speaks without mercy, he understands this, so he didn't think too much about it, and didn't feel discouraged or lost at all, mainly because... here, Lu Wanwan treats everyone with the same cold attitude.

Then, Chu Yueqi seemed to suddenly remember something and continued to speak excitedly.

"Engineer Lu, I have good news for you. I've made significant progress in my research over the past two days. I should be able to finish it before noon today. How about we go to the cafeteria for lunch together? We can exchange our research experiences."

At this moment, Wei Wei came over, his expression still a little expectant. He had been looking for a chance to express his gratitude for Lu Wanwan's guidance. "Engineer Lu, is it okay? I heard there are braised spare ribs in the cafeteria today. I'll treat you."

Before he finished speaking, Cheng Yanzi happened to walk over and interrupted, "Oh, you're treating Mr. Lu, what about me?"

Hearing this, Wei Wei couldn't help but be slightly stunned. A faint blush instantly appeared on his face, and his ears also turned red, making him look a little uneasy.

He scratched his head and stammered a little embarrassedly, "You...you should eat too."

Seeing Wei Wei's embarrassment, Cheng Yanzi blinked and deliberately teased, "Why are you stuttering? Are you hesitating? It's as if I'm forcing you. I don't want to go! Wherever Lu Gong goes, I go."

Wei Wei suddenly became anxious. "No... there's no slope. It was me... I took the initiative to invite you. I wanted to treat you to a meal."

Lu Wanwan rested her chin on her hand, watching the amusing scene with great interest. Tonight, she planned to share this story with her lover, and she could already imagine Wang Yiming's gossipy side. Cheng Yanzi, usually lively and eloquent, unexpectedly had a soft spot for Wei Wei, who became incredibly nervous the moment he opened his mouth. It was a curious pairing, a perfect complement or perhaps just fate, but it was something fresh and interesting.

Looking at Yan Zi's stubborn look, who clearly wanted to go but insisted on saying no, Lu Wanwan couldn't help but chuckle.

(At this time, Lu Wanwan had her long hair tied up, and was wearing a shirt underneath and a gown outside. She had a fountain pen pinned to her chest, silver-framed glasses on her face, and a green-dial ladies' watch on her wrist.)

She herself didn't feel anything, but at this moment, Chu Yueqi, who was standing beside her, was a little stunned...
