When Lu Yuan picked up the phone, he already knew that there were rumors about him and the Director of the Qin family’s private hospital.
He frowned deeply, and his first sentence was, “Dean Qin, your secretary’s phone call just now caused me a lot of trouble. It was enough to create rumors and slander. I think you should give me an explanation and apologize publicly. Otherwise, we can only see each other in court.”
Qin Yaoguang was so angry that she laughed. “President Lu, you’re really a wicked person who complains first. I haven’t said anything yet, and you’ve already put a big blame on me. Fine, go ahead and sue. It’s just a lawsuit, so who’s afraid of who? But before you go to court, shouldn’t you hand over my daughter first?”
Lu Yuan, even raising his voice by an octave, pretended to be shocked. “Dean Qin, what are you talking about? I thought your secretary was spouting nonsense. Now, it seems that this rumor and slander started from you!”
Qin Yaoguang was choked by him, and she said impatiently, “Stop spouting nonsense. I’ve been to West Camp Hospital, and I know that you took my daughter away with Young Master He. She is now seriously injured and unconscious, and has no ability to make decisions. As her only direct relative, I have the power to make decisions for her.”
Lu Yuan became serious. “Dean Qin, what do you mean? Yes, I went to West Camp Hospital to see lawyer Gu, but she wasn’t seriously injured ot unconscious, so I don’t agree with what you said about her having no ability to make decisions.”
“What? !” Qin yaoguang stood up immediately and asked nervously, “She wasn’t seriously injured or unconscious? ! Are you sure? !”
“Of course I’m sure.” Lu Yuan unhurriedly turned on his computer and found Qin Yaoguang’s location through the phone system connected to his computer.
“How is that possible?” Qin Yaoguang frowned deeply. “That’s impossible… I heard from brother He that Nianzhi was hit by the anti-materiel rifle and was seriously injured and unconscious…”
Although she had entered the ward that night, she hadn’t gone near Gu Nianzhi’s bed and hadn’t seen her condition with her own eyes.
However, according to the hospital’s medical staff, she had indeed been hit by the anti-materiel rifle, and He Zhichu had hired a particularly good heart surgeon for her to perform a perfect operation.
Qin Yaoguang rubbed her fingers against the shadow on the side of her nose uncomfortably. Was she really as good as a doctor?
Better than her?
Before Gu Nianzhi cut her hand, her hand was the “best knife” in the surgical field.
Lu Yuan sighed. “I’m not sure about that. That day, I was just doing a small favor for Jin Dazhuang. I stopped by to talk to Nianzhi about something. When I found out that she was in the hospital, I just went to see her.”
“But the people at West Camp Hospital saw you and Young Master He leaving with Nianzhi. Can you tell me where she is?” Qin Yaoguang’s intimidation weakened. “President Lu, I’m really sorry. When I heard that Nianzhi was hurt, my heart ached. Please understand a mother’s heart.”
“Dean Qin, what are you talking about? Of course I understand a mother’s heart.” Lu Yuan smiled slightly, and charming lines appearing at the corners of his eyes. “Dean Qin, you’re really amazing. I never heard that you had a daughter before. Now that she appeared, she’s already all grown up. Hahahaha, so you don’t have to worry about her.”
Qin Yaoguang smiled bitterly and nodded. “I’m sorry. She was mischievous since she was young, so I sent her away for a period of time before she came back to me. You know, children always have a rebellious period. Her rebellious period came later.”
“Oh.” Lu Yuan nodded slowly. “In that case, you still have to dispel the rumor for me. I have nothing to do with your daughter. What is going to happen to my reputation after your secretary suddenly asks me this?”
“Hahahaha, President Lu, do you still care about these things?” Qin Yaoguang cut him off lightly. “Women are usually more unlucky when it comes to this kind of thing. You, a man, are just icing on the cake.”
“Heh, Dean Qin, you migt not care about your daughter’s reputation, but I care about my own reputation. I’m an innocent person, and I’ve suddenly become a pervert who seduces young girls. Tell me, do you think I’ll take this loss?”
Lu Yuan said this with a smile. It sounded like he was joking, but everyone knew that he had no intention of joking at all.
Qin Yaoguang obviously heard it as well. She bit her lip and finally said, “Alright, it’s my fault. I’m a straightforward person. I’ll say whatever I want. I was wrong. I apologize. I’ll get my secretary to go and explain the matter.”
“Haha, if you apologize in person and post it on our company’s forum, I won’t pursue this matter. Otherwise, we’ll still have to meet in court,”L u Yuan said unhurriedly as he twirled a pen in his hand. “Although we’re business partners, business is business. I won’t take any losses that I shouldn’t take.”
When had Qin Yaoguang ever been threatened like this?
She held back her anger, and she continued, “Alright, I will definitely apologize in person, but can you tell me where Nianzhi is? I just want to see her. She is seriously injured. I am a doctor myself, and I am also a doctor who is more knowledgeable about external injuries. I can be of great help to her injuries. I hope you can understand.”
Lu Yuan still shook his head, and said helplessly, “I admire Dean Qin’s motherly affection, but I really don’t know where lawyer Gu is. You also know that Young Master He is very nervous about lawyer Gu. He is fully responsible for lawyer Gu. If you really want to know where lawyer Gu is, you should go look for Young Master He. I really don’t know.”
It sounded very plausible.
Qin Yaoguang had settled for Lu Yuan as the next best option. She also knew that the best way was actually to look for He Zhichu.
But she didn’t dare.
He Zhichu’s concern for Gu Nianzhi made her very afraid.
The father and son were the same. If they liked a person, they would love her to the point of forgetting everything else.
They loved her to the point of being tyrannical, and they loved her to the point of being selfish. In their eyes, everyone else were just passerby.
Qin Yaoguang thought about what had happened back then and was a little absent-minded.
She could have been the one who had been doted on the most…
It was because of her back figure that she lost to Qin Suwen.
Qin Yaoguang’s expression became even more unsightly when she thought of how her back figure had been mistaken at the entrance of the elevator on the first floor of the building.
..
Lu Yuan had been working in his office the whole morning. When it was time for lunch, he saw Qin Yaoguang’s apology post on the forum.
This matter was over.
Before the Lu Corporation’s employees were excited enough, they were splashed with a bucket of cold water.
Immediately after, the junior secretary who had been gossiping after picking up the phone was called to Lu Yuan’s office.
“CEO Lu, I didn’t mean it. I was just curious. Please forgive me this once…” She begged while sobbing.
This junior secretary had only worked for two years. She had graduated from a prestigious university, but her family didn’t have any background. In order to join the Lu Corporation, she had worked hard for a long time before she was honored to join the Lu Corporation, furthermore, she had become a junior secretary in the CEO’s secretariat at the highest level.
Lu Yuan looked at her gently and said, “You are a secretary. As a secretary, you cannot abide by the basic principles of being a secretary. If I continue to let you hold this position, it would be my dereliction of duty.”
“But I won’t do it again in the future! Really! Please give me another chance!” The junior secretary was extremely terrified. “I, I, I swear!”
“This is very unprofessional conduct.” Lu Yuan took out two copies of the agreement. “You can sign it, and then you can resign from your job. This won’t affect you finding another job in the future.”
This girl was still young. Lu Yuan had never thought of crushing his future.
But his company would never hire such a person again.
Whether this was true or not, as a secretary, she shared confidential information she heard at work with the entire company. This was a huge violation of the professional standards of a secretary.
Today, if the CEO didn’t punish her for gossiping, tomorrow, she might leak the company’s business secrets.
The junior secretary cried for a long time, but Lu Yuan was unmoved. In the end, he had no choice but to sign two agreements.
One was to admit that she had spread the content of his work phone to the entire company, and the other was a confidentiality agreement.
The confidentiality agreement stipulated that she could not share the content that she had come into contact with when she worked at the Lu Corporation with other companies.
If he found out, he would demand a huge amount of compensation and bear legal responsibility.
When the junior secretary saw the two agreements, she finally put all her grievances to rest.
She signed the agreement quickly and immediately packed her things and left.
After settling the matters in the company, Lu Yuan left the company and went home.
He went back to his apartment first. On the way, he noticed that someone was following him, so he took a few turns on the road. After shaking off the person who was following him, he returned to his own home.
After returning home and resting for a while, he took out some fresh meat and vegetables from the refrigerator, put them in a plastic bag, and carried them to the apartment block where Lu Jin and Gu Nianzhi lived.
He had only put on some simple disguise, but when he went out, no one recognized him.
When he arrived at the penthouse where Lu Jin and Gu Nianzhi lived, Lu Yuan rang the doorbell.
Lu Jin saw from the monitor that it was Lu Yuan and happily came to open the door.
“You’re finally here. We’re starving.”
The corners of Lu Yuan’s mouth twitched. “How dare you open the door when you didn’t see who it was?”
“How did I not see who it was? Didn’t you just put on some simple disguise?” Lu Jin didn’t hesitate to expose his disguise. “Only a retard wouldn’t be able to see through your disguise.”
Lu Yuan thought of the “retards” he had met along the way and rubbed his chin with the back of his hand. “Alright, I know you’re good. Can I come in now?”
“Come in quickly. What are you going to cook today?” Lu Jin didn’t know how to cook, but Lu Yuan was a good cook.
“Isn’t Nianzhi recovering from her injuries? I’ll make her something to supplement her injuries and help her recover.” Lu Yuan smiled as he placed the meat, eggs, vegetables, and ribs on the kitchen counter.
Lu Jin looked at him as if he was looking at a retard. “Are you stupid? Supplements are placebos. Do you really think they’ll work? Nianzhi will recover as soon as possible, not with supplements, but with her own genetic repair ability.”
Lu Yuan: “…”
Lu Yuan threw down the groceries in his hands away and said coldly, “If you’re so capable then you can cook.”
Lu Jin lowered his head.”… Big brother, I was wrong.”
Lu Yuan snorted. “You wash the vegetables first. I’ll go check on Nianzhi.”
He left the kitchen and walked towards the guest room on the first floor where Gu Nianzhi was staying.
Gu Nianzhi had already been pushed out of the secret room and was lying on the guest room bed outside while looking at her phone.
Lu Yuan remembered something and took out his detector to check on Gu Nianzhi’s room.
When he reached her bedside, the detector in his hand suddenly beeped.
Lu Yuan’s expression changed. “Someone planted a bug here!”
