Chapter 225: Calming down the previous disturbance
Lu Yanqi's gaze followed Lin Qing's figure as it gradually disappeared at the office door. He raised his right hand and gently stroked the place that had just been kissed. A satisfied smile involuntarily appeared at the corner of his lips.
Lin Qing was taking the elevator all the way down to the 36th floor.
When the elevator door opened, she just stepped out of the elevator and almost collided with Zhang Xuejing, who came out of another elevator next to her and was playing with her mobile phone with her head down.
The two of them stopped almost at the same moment. Lin Qing subconsciously raised his eyes and saw Zhang Xuejing's familiar face close at hand.
She frowned slightly, revealing a barely perceptible displeasure, and had no intention of saying hello.
Zhang Xuejing naturally noticed Lin Qing's slightly indifferent expression. She also saw the news reported online. She didn't expect that Lin Qing not only had the means, but also had such good luck that he was actually favored by the president.
Even if Lin Qing married the president, her opinion of Lin Qing would not change. She didn't believe that Lin Qing would dare to fire her.
In her eyes, Lin Qing was just a person from the countryside who got to the top by relying on her looks.
Zhang Xuejing lowered her eyes, looked Lin Qing up and down, sneered in her heart, raised her eyebrows, and showed an obvious contempt on her face.
"You are so proud now, right? My guess was right. You seduced the CEO on your first day at the company, and you are still so stubborn that you refuse to admit it!"
Lin Qing looked at Zhang Xuejing's provocative eyes and was not surprised by what she said. He also glanced at her and asked, "Why should I admit it? Do I have to admit whatever you guess?"
Zhang Xuejing's eyes flashed with cold contempt, "Your attitude is not surprising. After all, people who rely on their looks to get ahead can do anything."
When Lin Qing heard this, she took a deep breath and felt a little unhappy. If she hadn't taken into account that her current identity would affect Lu Yanqi, she would have slapped him.
She knew that continuing to argue with Zhang Xuejing would only make the situation more complicated, so she simply changed the subject: "Zhang Xuejing, we are all adults. Workplace matters should be focused on work, not personal speculation and prejudice."
Zhang Xuejing snorted coldly: "Humph, it seems that you are really good at avoiding the main point. Don't you think that your current identity and relationship with the president are a bit uncomfortable?"
Lin Qing also responded with a mocking smile, "Oh? You mean you want me to resign? Everyone's feelings are subjective. Why should I leave the company to cater to your so-called comfort? Or do you have the right to do so?"
Zhang Xuejing's eyes widened: "Of course I don't have this right, but you do. You can fire me just by whispering in the president's ear. If you are not afraid of others saying you are abusing your power, then try it."
Lin Qing felt helpless about Zhang Xuejing's incoherent words. He frowned and asked, "I think I have never done anything to let you down since I came to the company, but you have been targeting me. Why?"
Zhang Xuejing just replied coldly: "Don't you know?" Why should she be in charge of a big project as soon as she arrived?
Lin Qing was a little helpless, but still remained calm: "Zhang Xuejing, I don't have the time or interest to make enemies. Since you feel it's unfair, then focus on your work and prove your ability. Also, don't think I don't know what you did. If you don't provoke me, I'll pretend I don't know, but my patience is limited."
After saying that, Lin Qing walked directly into the office.
Zhang Xuejing stamped her feet behind him, her face flushed, and she muttered, "I'm just waiting to see the day you're abandoned!"
In the conference room on the 66th floor, Lu Yanqi convened the public relations department and the legal team to discuss the next response strategy in detail.
Lu Yanqi got straight to the point: "This morning's interview should be reported soon. Please ask the public relations department to pay attention to the media's public opinion and prepare several emergency plans to ensure that we can respond to any emergencies that may arise at any time."
The head of the public relations department replied solemnly: "We will closely monitor public opinion and issue statements in a timely manner when necessary to resolutely safeguard the company's image."
……
Before eleven o'clock in the morning, the interview video of President Lu and his wife was released online.
In the video, Lu Yanqi's gentle care for Lin Qing and their tacit cooperation obviously touched many people.
Netizens took to the comments section to express their envy for the couple, praising their strong bond and support for each other.
[It's really enviable, it feels like the relationship between them is really sincere! Who was blind enough to report that they were in an improper relationship before, dare you come out and say something! ]
[Mr. Lu and Ms. Lin are a perfect match. Their interaction seems natural and touching. I wish them happiness! ]
[What a perfect match! I was originally a fan of Mr. Lu, but now I’m also a fan of his wife. Who among you understands my happiness? ]
[Oh my god, Mr. Lu is so gentle. I envy Ms. Lin.]
[Ahhh, Mr. Lu said he was pursuing her, and Ms. Lin said she fell in love at first sight. Can you guys stop being so sweet and consider us single guys? ]
Some netizens also mentioned that Lu Yanqi's support and respect for Lin Qing showed the qualities of an excellent partner: [Mr. Lu's attitude towards Miss Lin showed me a kind of true respect and love. I sincerely wish them well. ]
Overall, the images and words in the video were interpreted as a positive image, and netizens generally gave high praise and support to the couple's relationship. This positive atmosphere of public opinion is undoubtedly a plus for the public image of Lu's company.
Lu Yanqi sat at his desk, looking at the constantly updated positive reviews on the screen, a satisfied smile on his lips. This reversal of public opinion not only successfully calmed the previous turmoil, but also further enhanced the public image of the company and himself.
Over the next few days, the atmosphere in the company gradually stabilized.
As for the design department, with Director Du's excellent communication skills and profound thinking ability, it successfully carried out a series of ideological work that was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people and skillfully coordinated the relations among all parties.
Lin Qing's days in the design department gradually returned to her previous working state, and the strange looks that once arose because of her special status had quietly dissipated.
Her colleagues treated her as usual, as if the past prejudices had never happened.
But the resentment deep in Zhang Xuejing's heart was like an undercurrent surging. Although she was extremely dissatisfied, she could only swallow her anger and dare not speak out.
Although there are still some doubts about Lin Qing in the outside world, she is not too troubled.
A few days later, in the morning, Lu Yanqi started his day's work as usual.
Just then, he received a letter of resignation from Wan Yaqing.
Faced with this expected letter, Lu Yanqi remained unusually calm. He neither tried to persuade him to stay nor deliberately made things difficult for him. Instead, he approved the letter without hesitation.
Colleagues in the design department were shocked when they heard the news, and even Lin Qing was a little surprised, but Director Du explained to everyone that Wan Yaqing resigned in order to go to a foreign country to continue her studies.
When colleagues heard the reason, they expressed their understanding and support.
But Lin Qing just felt something was wrong. He always felt that something was fishy, but he couldn't explain the reason.
The Mu Group was trending on the Internet at 10 o'clock in the evening.
Mu Rencong, the young master of the Mu family, concealed his marriage and cheated on his wife, causing her to become pregnant
After the Mu Group became a hot topic, online public opinion quickly became noisy.
The report contained many intimate photos of Mu Rencong and the girl, including a photo of the girl when she was pregnant, but the girl's face was blurred.
The matter began to be widely discussed on major news platforms and social media.
The scandal of Mu Rencong's extramarital affair has aroused great attention and indignation among netizens, and the girl who was deceived and got pregnant before marriage has also aroused the sympathy of many people.
[Mu Rencong is such a complete scumbag! He cheated on his wife and got her pregnant. How disgusting! ]
[This incident is really chilling. I hope that girl can get the help and justice she deserves.]
[It's clear at a glance which big boss has been offended. Mu's stock is expected to hit the limit down. ]
[It is said that his wife is also a rich lady, quite pretty, and she eats from the bowl and takes over the pot. ]
[His wife may have fainted in the toilet from crying at this time.]
……
Inside the Huancui Pavilion Villa.
Lu Yanqi was holding the delicate Lin Qing in his arms. The two of them leaned against each other, as if they were the only ones left in the world.
Just as they were immersed in this warm and sweet atmosphere and were about to fall asleep, a sudden phone call rang.
Lu Yanqi couldn't help but frown slightly, muttering to himself: Who is this tactless guy who dares to disturb my good thing at this time.
Lin Qing in his arms was also awakened by the sudden noise. She raised her hand, patted Lu Yanqi's chest, and said softly, "Hurry up and answer the phone. Maybe there is something urgent to talk to you about."
Lu Yanqi picked up the phone and saw that it was Li Ran calling. He frowned and picked up the call.
"Hey, what's the matter?" His tone was obviously a little dissatisfied.
“Brother Lu, did you see that? The Mu Group has become a hot topic.” Li Ran’s excited voice came from the other end.
