Chapter 181: You and President Fu Were Secretly Married

Lu Xiwán gave an awkward smile under Sang Hongfang's approving gaze.

How is she supposed to explain that she truly isn't familiar with Fu Sijue!

They really don't have the relationship that's being rumored outside!

Before Lu Xiwán left the office, the fact that she had become team leader had already spread throughout the whole company.

The group of reverent youngsters in the tech department now all wore expressions of respect toward Lu Xiwán.

Tang Yi stormed back from outside, flinging the iPad straight in front of Lu Xiwán.

"What on earth did you do?" she shouted, loud enough for the entire office to hear.

Lu Xiwán didn't even need to look to know what the iPad notification said.

"I did nothing; the project was assigned to me by President Sang."

Lu Xiwán isn't a fool; Tang Yi's hostility toward her was evident from the start.

No matter what she says, Tang Yi will never believe it.

"On what grounds do you snatch my project!"

This is a chance to collaborate with the Fu Clan—a chance that even a desperate rival couldn't seize.

Tang Yi was so enraged her teeth ached.

Why does the whole company swarm around this woman as soon as she arrives?

Lu Xiwán shook her head, "I don't know why President Sang arranged it that way; if you have doubts, you can go ask President Sang directly."

Instead of wasting her own time, she'd rather let others do the explaining.

Sang Hongfang appeared at the doorway, and Tang Yi lowered her voice.

"I assigned this project to zero; she previously worked beside President Fu, so she knows his temperament better and can save us a lot of time."

In software development, the only thing to consider is the client's needs.

And the other side's big boss is precisely the client they must consider.

Sang Hongfang did so for everyone's benefit.

"But I've been researching this for so long, and today I'm supposed to meet President Fu. Could President Sang really be so heartless as to hand my project over to someone else?"

In this department, where there are few women and many men, Tang Yi had originally been the most popular person.

But now, after an overnight change, how could she possibly accept it?

"Tang Yi, everything must be based on the company's interests."

Sang Hongfang, helpless, dropped that sentence and left.

Tang Yi's tears splattered down in a pattering rush, and the others nearby were flustered, not knowing how to comfort her.

Lu Xiwán let out a sigh, grabbed a tissue from the desk, and walked over.

"Crying won't solve anything; the company has more good projects than this one. You must make yourself stronger so others have no reason to replace you."

After speaking, she gently patted Tang Yi's shoulder and returned to her seat.

"I've already reviewed the project proposal; you all take a look. If Tang Yi isn't busy today, come with me to the Fu Clan for a handover, and you'll gain some experience for your own project."

Lu Xiwán intended to take Tang Yi along, and even escorted her out.

For a moment, the other office workers looked at Lu Xiwán with added admiration.

Tang Yi looked up, puzzled.

Lu Xiwán gave her no time to react, grabbed her, and headed for the underground garage.

"Don't stare; in two years you'll be able to buy one yourself."

Tang Yi gazed enviously at Lu Xiwán's off‑road vehicle, and Lu Xiwán's single remark snapped her back to reality.

"Why are you helping me?" Tang Yi asked as soon as she sat in the car.

Lu Xiwán carefully drove the car out, answering her question in a nonchalant tone.
