Chapter 189

Lu Jingqing tapped Su Yun Jiao's forehead and said, "I'm doing all this to stand up for you; you really are my little ancestor."

Su Yun Jiao rubbed her forehead, looking at Lu Jingqing before her, she couldn't help but say, "It's not like I asked you to embarrass him in front of all the staff; you must never put this tall hat mask on your head."

Lu Jingqing knew Su Yun Jiao wouldn't let things go once she was right.

He said, "If this happens again next time, I won't back you up."

Hearing Lu Jingqing say that, Su Yun Jiao immediately became unhappy, Su Yun Jiao stared at Lu Jingqing and said, "I'm your fiancée; if you don't side with me, who else are you thinking of? Could it be you want to back Han Yufei?"

Su Yun Jiao pretended to be unhappy, seeing Lu Jingqing smile.

He had never coaxed a girl before; for someone like Su Yun Jiao, this disobedient Lu Jingqing simply didn't know what to say.

"You're my fiancée, I naturally side with you more; if you act unreasonably, I'll still side with you."

Su Yun Jiao hearing Lu Jingqing say that, her heart instantly felt warm.

On the contrary, Secretary Li never expected Lu Jingqing to say such sweet talk to a girl; this is truly a rare occurrence like a thousand-year iron tree blooming.

Lu Jingqing previously never liked saying such things to girls.

Moreover, he couldn't say so many sour-sweet words.

Secretary Li, driving in front, couldn't help but say to Lu Jingqing, "Boss Lu, does the evening banquet really need to be handled by Manager Han alone? What if she can't handle it?"

"If she can't handle it, it shows her virtue doesn't match the position; the position I gave her isn't suitable for her."

Secretary Li quickly understood Lu Jingqing's meaning: if Han Yufei couldn't secure this cooperation tonight, she wouldn't need to stay in Hai Cheng anymore, perhaps even her overseas job couldn't be kept.

Lu Jingqing has always treated his subordinates well, especially someone like Han Yufei who has been by his side from the start; he has already given Han Yufei many opportunities, but Han Yufei's greed is never satisfied, always wanting more.

In that case, Lu Jingqing must give Han Yufei a warning; but if this warning doesn't work, Han Yufei may have no future with L Group.

Su Yun Jiao asked from the side, "Is tonight's banquet really that important? Shouldn't you be the one attending?"

Su Yun Jiao originally thought Han Yufei was just exaggerating, but seeing Lu Jingqing say that, she realized the banquet might affect the company.

After all, it's a cooperation; as the boss, Lu Jingqing not showing up would be somewhat inappropriate.

However, Lu Jingqing didn't take it to heart.

He said, "It's not exactly a major cooperation; letting Han Yufei go out is already suitable; you don't need to overthink."

Lu Jingqing stroked Su Yun Jiao's hair, indicating she needn't worry.

But Su Yun Jiao couldn't help but think of what Han Yufei said; it seems Han Yufei's words weren't entirely wrong; Lu Jingqing now is indeed different from before, not the workaholic who only knew work.

Su Yun Jiao and Lu Jingqing returned to Jingyuan; along the way Su Yun Jiao didn't speak; Lu Jingqing noticed her abnormality and said, "Are you thinking again about what others said to you?"

Lu Jingqing could almost guess what Han Yufei and Su Yun Jiao were saying.

Moreover, today Han Yufei told Su Yun Jiao that Su Yun Jiao's existence hindered his work, which already touched Lu Jingqing's reverse scale.

Lu Jingqing doesn't like people around him being dragged in.

But Han Yufei did just that.

"Brother Jingqing, tell me honestly, am I delaying your work?"

Su Yun Jiao's appearance looked quite aggrieved.

Although she herself did nothing, Lu Jingqing indeed is not as focused on work as before.

"I've worked for so many years; occasionally wanting to rest, how does that become delaying work?"

Lu Jingqing pinched Su Yun Jiao's cheeks and said, "These have nothing to do with you; before, my eyes only knew work because I had nothing else to do; now guarding my fiancée, I'm happy, so work naturally doesn't need to be constantly on my lips."

Secretary Li never expected such words to come from his own boss's mouth.

Their boss never used to say such things.

Today he's already made many exceptions for Su Yun Jiao.

Secretary Li gave a dry cough to the side to hide his embarrassment.

"Or… you two could talk alone?"

Secretary Li didn't dare voice his inner thoughts.

But Su Yun Jiao already had a slight blush.

Su Yun Jiao, blushing, said, "I understand; from now on I won't take this to heart, and no one should ever say I'm delaying your work again."

"Okay."

Lu Jingqing agreed.

Seeing Su Yun Jiao go upstairs, Lu Jingqing's expression turned indifferent; he told Secretary Li, "Tonight's banquet, go notify Boss Zhang in advance, just say let Manager Han accompany him."

"But… is this not appropriate?"

Secretary Li understood Lu Jingqing's meaning.

Lu Jingqing originally didn't plan to attend this banquet.

Boss Zhang is indeed a notorious lecher in the industry, especially picky about women.

With a great beauty like Han Yufei before him, how could Boss Zhang restrain himself?

"You think this is her first time doing this? Just do as I say."

Lu Jingqing's expression was indifferent, as if he didn't regard Han Yufei at all.

Han Yufei trading her body for cooperation is not the first time.

Previously, Han Yufei always credited these achievements to her own ability, and Lu Jingqing turned a blind eye.

Previously, considering Han Yufei's many years at his company, Lu Jingqing said nothing.

But now Han Yufei wants too much; money and status can't satisfy her, so she set her sights on the position of Madam Lu.

Yet this position, Lu Jingqing only prepared for Su Yun Jiao alone.

As evening approached.

Han Yufei specially changed into a sexy evening gown; she was already exceptionally beautiful, and after careful dressing, she resembled a red-carpet star, making it hard to look away.

She had long investigated Boss Zhang, clearly knowing his lecherous nature.

So this cooperation can be said to be a sure thing.

Han Yufei entered the banquet, and as soon as she appeared, she had already drawn the gazes of many men.

Even Boss Zhang, upon seeing Han Yufei's face and her hot figure, couldn't help but be drawn to her.
