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

Lu Ning hasn't had any contact with the Lu family today.

Ever since Qin Xiang escaped from the Lu family, she has had no desire to see anyone from the Lu family.

Just one look at it fills me with rage.

A bunch of idiots who were completely fooled by Qin Xiang.

Hearing from a colleague that Lu's Group is on the verge of bankruptcy is somewhat unexpected, but not surprising.

After all, Qin Xiang swindled out such a large sum of money, and Lu Dongyou simply couldn't get that much money in a short time. It was only a matter of time before problems arose.

While Lu Ning was thinking about these things, she noticed Ji Chiqian's gaze.

What does he mean?

She didn't feel bad at all; the Lu family's current predicament was entirely Lu Dongyou's own fault.

Gu Zifeng tapped the table: "What's the situation with the Lu family?"

In fact, Gu Zifeng already knew, but he deliberately let someone tell Lu Ning.

"I heard that Lu's Group is currently short of money, and PZ Company has been urging them to speed up the process, otherwise they will demand compensation from Lu's Group according to the contract."

"We were thinking of taking advantage of the situation and getting the Lu family to sell the project to us, which would reduce our competition."

Gu Zifeng smiled and said, "It would cost a lot of money to buy it."

"Yes, it's not worth it. It would be better to let Lu's Group go bankrupt, which would also eliminate one competitor."

Everyone is talking about this.

Lu Ning also felt that it was inappropriate to spend money to buy it, especially since Lu Dongyou would not sell it, much less sell it to Maple Leaf Company.

Lu Ning felt that she understood Lu Dongyou's temperament quite well.

After the meeting, Lu Ning went to her office.

Gu Zifeng was the first to speak: "Little Lemon, what are your thoughts?"

“I don’t think it’s necessary to spend the money. Anyway, the Lu family won’t be a match for us.”

Lu Ning spoke with great confidence.

Gu Zifeng smiled, looked at the two of them, and suddenly said, "I think there's something I forgot to mention. I'll go arrange it now."

Gu Zifeng left directly, and thoughtfully closed the office door behind him.

Only the two of them remained.

Lu Ning felt that Ji Chiqian's gaze was a bit too unrestrained, so she quickly asked, "What are your thoughts on the Lu Group's matter?"

Regardless of everyone's suggestions, the final decision rests with Gu Zifeng and Ji Chiqian.

They certainly know far more information than these people do.

Ji Chiqian stepped forward to Lu Ning, his gaze intense: "Why didn't you reply to my messages?"

Lu Ning lowered her eyes: "I replied."

"you have not."

He clearly sent several messages in a row, but Lu Ning didn't reply to any of them.

Lu Ning looked up: "I replied with silence."

Ji Chiqian's gaze fell on her rosy lips, and he couldn't help but lean down to look closer, but Lu Ning dodged away.

Her face flushed: "What are you doing? This is an office. Be mindful of your behavior."

Ji Chiqian's throat was a little dry: "No one will see it, and no one will come in."

He misses her very much.

Gu Zifeng will definitely say hello when he goes out.

Lu Ning blushed and pushed him away: "That won't do either."

Ji Chiqian's eyes darkened considerably: "Why? You kissed me last night, can't I today?"

He barely slept last night; he's never found the long night so unbearable.

Lu Ning's ears turned red when she heard the man's undisguised words: "Last night was last night, today is today, they're not the same."

Lu Ning tried to run away after she finished speaking, but Ji Chiqian held her tightly in his arms and wouldn't let go: "Tell me clearly, what's different?"

Lu Ning thought of what Chen Yu had mentioned about Aunt Ji's illness, but she didn't know how to bring it up.

Ji Chiqian could tell at a glance that something was wrong with Lu Ning, so he bent down to look her in the eye and asked, "Tell me the truth, what's wrong?"

Did something happen last night that he doesn't know about?

Lu Ning turned her head away, seemingly unwilling to speak.

Ji Chiqian's gaze darkened slightly, and he sealed Lu Ning's lips with a kiss. If she didn't want to talk, then she shouldn't.

Since Lu Ning took the initiative last night, he was a little unwilling to wait or endure it any longer.

Lu Ning was being kissed. She was about to say something, but she was overwhelmed and defeated.

The kiss lasted for quite a while.

Ji Chiqian had just sat down on the table with her in his arms and stopped to straighten her clothes, but Lu Ning forcefully slapped his hand away.

Ji Chiqian smiled and said, "We've kissed and touched each other, so why are you still angry?"

Lu Ning lowered her head and straightened her clothes, not wanting to talk to him.

Seeing her face flushed with anger, Ji Chiqian asked cautiously, "What's wrong?"

Lu Ning pursed her lips: "I heard your mother is sick? Or was it because she was upset?"

Ji Chiqian knew what Lu Ning was upset about as soon as he heard her say that.

After all, there had been a case before where his grandmother was critically ill.

Ji Chiqian bent down and pulled the person into his arms: "It's just a rumor, my mother is fine."

"Really?"

"If my mother really had some health problem, would I still have these thoughts?"

Lu Ning took a serious look at Ji Chiqian; he had no need to deceive himself with such a thing.

She breathed a sigh of relief; that was good.

"Aren't angry anymore?"

Ji Chiqian couldn't help but reach out to touch her lips, but Lu Ning forcefully slapped his hand away.

He wasn't angry. He leaned over and grabbed her hand: "If hitting me will make you feel better, then go ahead and do it."

Lu Ning saw his face deliberately leaning closer and felt a little annoyed: "If I punch him, I'm afraid the Ji family patriarch won't be able to show his face in public for a while."

She's trained in boxing; he should know very well how strong she is.

Ji Chiqian smiled faintly, took her hand and pressed it against his face: "It doesn't matter, I'll just say it was my girlfriend who hit me."

"Have you no shame? You weren't like this before."

Lu Ning never expected that Ji Chiqian could be so shameless when he was being unserious.

"What was I like before?"

Lu Ning thought for a moment and said, "You used to be very serious."

"That's for outsiders, I can't work that hard on my girlfriend."

Ji Chiqian held Lu Ning's hand tightly: "Even though it's a secret relationship, I'm still your boyfriend, you can't deny it."

Lu Ning blushed, somewhat regretting her impulsive actions last night.

When Ji Chiqian saw that Lu Ning was about to lose her temper, he changed the subject: "Want to go to our new product launch?"

"Of course I want to go."

After such a long time, this day has finally come.

Thinking back to her past life, on this day, her eldest and second eldest brothers joined forces to push all the credit onto Qin Xiang, saying that Qin Xiang needed this credit now.

No one listened to her, and no one cared about her efforts.

Fortunately, everything has changed now.

Lu Ning pulled her hand back from Ji Chiqian's: "I still need to go to the technical department to handle some work."

Since she was already there, she still wanted to go and take a look.

Ji Chiqian's gaze was fixed on Lu Ning: "Let's have dinner together tonight. I'll come pick you up."

Let's talk about it tonight.

Lu Ning neither agreed nor said she would go.

Looking at her slippery appearance, Ji Chiqian picked up the cold coffee next to him and drank it all in one gulp.

But I still feel it's not cooling enough, so I'll switch to chrysanthemum tea later.

After leaving the office, Lu Ning couldn't help but smile as she thought about Ji Chiqian's behavior earlier.

She actually went to the technical department and personally tested various data, thinking that since she was already there, she might as well solve the problem.

When she was almost done with her work, she suddenly received a call from Chen Guoguo: "Lu Ning, it seems like something happened to Chen Yu."

Lu Ning stood up abruptly: "Speak slowly."

Could Chen Yu's incident be related to her elder brother?
