After Miss Lu became the only one to enjoy the limelight, her six brothers knelt down and begged for

After Lu Ning finished doing all this, she looked at the furious Lu Dongyou and said, "The person who asked you to buy it for me was Qin Xiang, not me."

"Lu Ning, are you crazy? Even if I remembered wrong, how could you throw it in my face?"

Lu Dongyou was furious and took the tissue his secretary handed him to wipe his face.

Lu Ning smiled and said, "Now you should remember, the person who likes to eat this is Qin Xiang, not me. You should be thanking me!"

When Lu Ning saw the taxi arrive, she bent down and got in.

Lu Dongyou shouted angrily, "Lu Ning, get out of the car! I have something to ask you. Did you deliberately call Chen Yu over to the pear garden that day?"

Looking out the car window, Lu Ning said, "You've kept the fact that Chen Yu is living in the same dorm as me a secret for a while now."

"I didn't intentionally hide this from you. How do I know Chen Yu didn't tell you her identity?"

Lu Dongyou said somewhat guiltily, "But you should have told me beforehand that you were bringing Chen Yu to dinner."

If he had told Lu Dongyou in advance, he would never have let that day's events happen.

Lu Ning's eyes were full of sarcasm: "If I had told you in advance, you wouldn't have seen that good show. I also have to thank Qin Xiang for this. She actually dared to steal someone else's dress. Anyone who didn't know better would think that Qin Xiang and you had some kind of ambiguous relationship."

"Lu Ning, is it you who made false accusations in front of Chen Yu that I have an affair with Xiangxiang?"

No wonder Chen Yu has been so cold towards him these past few days.

The AI ​​project is currently at a critical investment stage and cannot afford to lose the Chen family's support.

Lu Dongyou's tone became much more serious: "I advise you to keep your mouth shut and not say anything reckless."

"Then I also advise you not to become a live-in son-in-law; you can't handle that kind of life."

When Lu Dongyou heard the words "gold digger," he angrily reached out to pull Lu Ning out of the car, but the taxi driver stepped on the gas and drove away.

Lu Ning found Lu Dongyou's exasperated state quite amusing.

At that moment, Lu Ning's phone rang, and she knew without guessing who was calling.

Lu Ning hung up immediately without answering.

When the vehicle arrived outside Maple Leaf Company, Lu Ning went upstairs directly to the technical department. She wanted to discuss the technical challenges they were currently facing and how many more tests were needed.

When Lu Ning arrived at the office, the team leader smiled and said, "It's been a while. I heard your team won the preliminary round. Congratulations!"

"Thank you."

Lu Ning's colleagues all knew that she was a game streamer.

Lu Ning sat down at the computer and began testing the data. The team leader next to her said, "I heard that Lu's Company is also developing an artificial intelligence project, and they've been benchmarking against our company's products."

Lu Ning paused for a moment: "Didn't they lose the bid?"

At that time, Sixth Brother's team disbanded, and later Fourth Brother's affair was exposed. Although she eventually agreed not to prosecute in order to investigate the car accident.

But the damage had already been done, and in the end, the older brother actually lost a lot of money.

Is there still money to invest in artificial intelligence projects?

"That's right. I heard they received an investment and even partnered with an overseas company to develop an artificial intelligence project."

Lu Ning thought about it and realized that things were different from her previous life.

Previously, her second brother's entire fortune was invested in artificial intelligence projects, and she helped him out, successfully bidding for the project and eventually listing it on the stock exchange.

Regardless, Maple Leaf currently holds the advantage.

Someone walked over, looked at Lu Ning, and said, "The boss wants you to go to his office. Everyone, please gather in the conference room in ten minutes."

Lu Ning glanced at the data that had been debugged and roughly knew what the problem was.

She took the printed document directly to the office.

When she saw Ji Chiqian sitting in the chair, her pupils contracted, and she thought it was Gu Zifeng who had arrived.

He was also wearing a formal suit today, with all the buttons fastened, giving him a sense of asceticism.

It must be said that Ji Chiqian looks great in a suit.

He looked up at her, his deep gaze fixed on her: "What are you doing standing at the door? Afraid I'll eat you? Come in."

Lu Ning walked into the office with the documents in her hand, deliberately leaving the door open.

There were only the two of them in the office.

Lu Ning walked over and placed the file on the table: "These are the data issues I've compiled over this period, along with some optimization suggestions."

Ji Chiqian reached out and took it; she noticed his long, slender, and beautiful fingers.

But he took the document without looking at it, instead pressing his fingers against it and slowly rubbing them.

Lu Ning looked over in surprise. What did he mean by that?

The two looked at each other.

Ji Chiqian's gaze fell on Lu Ning, and he noticed that she was wearing a short skirt today, and her straight and slender legs were somewhat dazzling.

His voice became uneven: "Last night..."

"You don't need to explain what happened last night to me."

Lu Ning guessed what he wanted to say and immediately shut him down.

She recalled seeing Mo Shiyi appear behind Ji Chiqian when she was leaving the pear orchard by car last night, and she tried her best not to think about what they talked about afterwards.

Ji Chiqian's gaze darkened considerably. He had been thinking all night that he must explain things clearly when he met her today.

But now she's covered in thorns and you can't mess with her at all.

I can only coax.

He was afraid that if he pushed her too far, she would threaten to break up with him again. Ji Chiqian couldn't bear to hear those two words now.

He asked in a low voice, "Are you still angry?"

"Why should I be angry? I'm not the one who got slapped in the face."

Lu Ning looked at him confidently, her face expressionless, pretending to be indifferent.

"Really not?"

Ji Chiqian stood up and moved closer to her.

Lu Ning stepped back a little and reminded him, "This is the office."

As soon as she finished speaking, the man turned around, walked over, closed the door, and even locked it from the inside.

When Lu Ning heard the sound of the door being locked, her heart skipped a beat. What was he planning to do?

Ji Chiqian came up to her, looked down into her eyes. In the past, when she expressed her emotions, it was easy to understand her.

But now, sometimes I can't even understand her thoughts.

He lowered his voice and began to explain: "I personally clarified yesterday that I have no engagement with Mo Shiyi."

The two stood very close, at a distance that was neither too close nor too far, creating a somewhat ambiguous atmosphere.

Lu Ning turned her head away restrainedly and said "Oh".

Ji Chiqian was stunned for a moment, not expecting her to react this way. It felt like he was punching cotton.

He felt somewhat frustrated: "Little Lu Ning, what will it take for you to calm down, hmm?"

She cannot be touched or spoken of.

Lu Ning's eyes curved into a smile: "I don't know."

That smile felt like a knife to Ji Chiqian's heart.

Lu Ning turned away from him and walked towards the office.

His gaze fell on her long, slender legs, and he couldn't help but pull her back: "Are you in such a hurry to leave? Is there something you haven't finished talking to?"

Lu Ning placed her hands on his chest and lowered her eyelids: "Let go of me first."

Ji Chiqian said sullenly, "Don't wear such short skirts to work in the future."

"..." This man is meddling way too much.

Lu Ning's rebellious streak kicked in, and she looked up deliberately, asking, "Is it pretty?"

He nodded honestly: "It looks good."

But he didn't want other men to see it.

"That's right, I can wear whatever I want."

He doesn't need to worry about it.

Ji Chiqian turned his eyes slightly away, cursing himself inwardly for being so easily manipulated by a little girl.

But he was willing to do it.

Ji Chiqian finally said helplessly, "There's an industry exchange meeting this afternoon, and your older brother will probably be there too. He's been making some rather high-profile moves lately."

"Truly capable people don't need to be high-profile."

Lu Ning's tone was quite confident.

Ji Chiqian chuckled softly, "I'll go with you this afternoon."

Lu Ning was stunned: "But at an industry exchange meeting, did anyone know you?"

She then remembered that Ji Chiqian had never participated in these kinds of activities with her before, probably to conceal his identity!

The man's gaze was serious: "Yes."

"Aren't you afraid my older brother will find out?"

"He should be the one who's afraid, not me."

Ji Chiqian's tone was extremely arrogant.
