Qin Xiang's smile froze; she had thought they had come for her sake.

So it was all because of that bitch Lu Ning!

Qin Xiang forced a smile: "She left right after get off work."

Didn't you invite her?

"I definitely invited Sister Ningning, but she didn't want to have dinner with me, and she doesn't get along well with the people in the company."

Qin Xiang explained, looking aggrieved, "I really tried my best."

Lu Liu softened a little: "I know Lu Ning has a bad temper, but I didn't expect her to actually go to the branch office to solve that problem. I thought she could hold out for a long time."

Lu Nanfeng smiled wryly and said, "I was the one who found a way to get her to go. Currently, no one else can solve the firewall problem except for her."

"Second brother, Lu Ning did this on purpose. Why did you insist on having her go to the company? We can just give up on that project."

"We've invested so much money in this project, how can we just give up like that? This is business, not child's play where you can just throw a tantrum. Your live streaming company has also lost a lot of money. You should think about how you're going to explain this to your boss after losing the finals."

Lu Nanfeng left in disappointment.

Lu Ning wasn't there, so there was no need for him to eat here.

A hint of embarrassment flashed in Qin Xiang's eyes. Was Lu Ning really that important?

Lu Liu was a little angry: "Second brother is becoming more and more biased towards Lu Ning."

Qin Xiang gritted her teeth: "After all, Lu Ning is the biological daughter, so my second brother will definitely soften his heart."

“Even if Lu Ning is her biological daughter, she can’t be this lawless. I don’t believe Lu Ning has the ability to solve that problem.”

Lu Liu never believed that Lu Ning could participate in that project; he guessed that it was just his second brother who put Lu Ning on the project's roster.

Qin Xiang then took Lu Liu to dinner with the company's people, stealing the spotlight.

After Lu Nanfeng got into his car and left, he took out his phone and sent a message to Lu Ning: "How was your day at the company? If anyone bullies you, tell me immediately!"

Lu Ning had just returned to her apartment.

She received a message from her second brother.

She glanced at the message, but her mood remained unchanged, and she didn't reply.

After eating, Lu Ning lay down on the bed to rest. She subconsciously opened the chat window with Ji Chiqian.

After thinking it over, she couldn't help but send her a message: "Master, what are you doing?"

After sending the message, Lu Ning stared nervously at her phone screen.

She felt a little strange.

She came out of the shower but didn't receive a reply from Ji Chiqian.

Lu Ning sighed. Wasn't this a bit too obvious?

She regretted sending him that message.

Lu Ning didn't sleep well all night, and she woke up with dark circles under her eyes the next day.

She noticed that Ji Chiqian still hadn't replied to her message.

She got up dejectedly, changed her clothes, and went to work at the branch office.

After arriving at the company, Lu Ning turned on her computer and started writing code. She had personally tested the software yesterday and had roughly determined the details of the problem.

Although she had tried to solve this problem in her previous life, it had taken too long, and she needed to test it again.

"New guy, you're here pretty early today. Did you regret missing yesterday's dinner and want to show off today?"

Lu Ning completely ignored the other party.

The greasy male team leader slammed his hand on the table angrily: "New guy, I'm talking to you, what kind of attitude is this?"

"Your attitude is my attitude! The dinner party tonight isn't something employees have to do; if I don't want to go, I won't go!"

Lu Ning's answer was very firm.

At this moment, the colleagues who came to the office all heard these words and gave Lu Ning a thumbs up.

It seems that young people these days really like to organize the workplace!

The greasy team leader, enraged, retorted, "New guy, what are you so arrogant about? Have you finished organizing all the documents I assigned you yesterday?"

"No."

Lu Ning looked at the other person calmly: "These are not part of my job duties."

“You’re from the technical department, how could these things not be part of your job?”

"My job involves cleaning up messes, like firewall issues."

Lu Ning's tone was indifferent; she was too lazy to even pretend anymore.

She just wanted to finish the firewall issue as soon as possible and didn't want to actually work here.

The greasy male team leader probably had never seen such an arrogant newcomer before. He dared to talk back to his boss on his second day at work!

The greasy man was trembling with anger: "I'll tell the manager right now and have him fire you!"

"You can give it a try."

Lu Ning completely ignored him and continued writing code.

Her slender fingers danced across the keyboard, and strings of code appeared on the computer screen.

Soon, the greasy male team leader came out of the office, glaring angrily at Lu Ning: "Don't be so smug. If you can't handle the firewall issue, you're fired right now. I want to see what you're capable of."

"Don't worry, I'm more capable than you."

Lu Ning showed no respect whatsoever.

After Qin Xiang arrived at the company, she was still decked out in designer brands and greeted everyone like a rich young lady.

When she saw the code on Lu Ning's computer, she had a bad feeling.

If Lu Ning really solves the firewall problem, wouldn't Second Brother be even more biased towards Lu Ning?

A calculating glint appeared in Qin Xiang's eyes; she wouldn't let Lu Ning succeed.

Her gaze fell on the greasy man beside her, and she immediately had an idea.

Lu Ning worked all day without taking a lunch break before finally finishing writing all the code.

She rubbed her neck, thinking that if she passed the test tomorrow, she wouldn't have to come.

She really didn't want to have anything to do with the Lu family.

Lu Ning was packing up to leave work when the greasy male team leader said sarcastically, "The technical department never leaves on time. Newcomer, don't you know the rules? You're paid by the company, so you should contribute to the company."

Lu Ning remained unfazed: "You're quite good at working overtime, but I haven't seen you solve the firewall problem. If you're not capable, working overtime your whole life won't help."

"You brat, who are you calling incapable? Why don't you give it a try?"

Lu Ning slapped him across the face: "A man like you, who is incompetent and likes to harass female colleagues, doesn't he ever look in the mirror? You don't deserve to be called one!"

Everyone in the office looked over.

The greasy male team leader was used to bullying others, but he never expected that a newcomer would dare to lay a hand on him.

The greasy man immediately reached out to hit him back.

A pair of hands grabbed the greasy man's arm: "Who gave you permission to lay a hand on me?"

Lu Ning looked up and saw Lu Liu, which surprised her.

Logically speaking, shouldn't Sixth Brother just stand by and watch her get beaten?

That's how it was in my past life.

The moment Lu Liu appeared, the greasy man immediately wilted: "Young Master Lu, I... I was just disciplining a newcomer."

"This is a company, not a place to fight."

Lu Liu's tone was somewhat cold, after all, Lu Ning was his sister.

Normally, only he has the right to hit or scold someone.

What right does an outsider have to lay a hand on Lu Ning?

Lu Liu shoved the greasy man away: "Do you know who she is?"

These people actually dared to lay a hand on Miss Lu!

It's the other way around!
