Chapter 286: Knife Hidden in the Sleeve
"How to answer?" The men present were very curious.
Even the low-key and humble Chen Xiaolin couldn't help but look at Li Zhen.
Li Zhen just glanced at Jiang Haicheng, "I can't even stop your mouth when I eat."
"You want to shut me up? Are you afraid that your low-key personality will be ruined?" Jiang Haicheng didn't stop talking here. He even said to everyone in a high-profile manner, "He said that whether a man is capable or not is not determined by how many times he has orgasmed himself, but how many times he has made women orgasm."
As soon as he said this, the whole audience burst into laughter.
Lei Ming smiled and asked, "So, how many times did you make him happy?"
Chen Xiaolin was just about to stand up because of this topic.
There was a knock at the door, and everyone looked over and saw Mr. Li's heroine Lu Xingchen standing at the door. Everyone looked at her in unison, and their expressions suddenly became a little weird. They wanted to laugh, but didn't dare to laugh. They didn't dare to laugh, but they were inexplicably full of imagination.
Li Zhen quickly warned in a low voice: "Shut up, everyone."
After he finished speaking, he waved to Lu Xingchen. As Lu Xingchen walked in, he apologized, "Sorry, I'm late."
Jiang Haicheng, "It's okay, you came at the right time."
Everyone couldn't help laughing when they heard this.
Li Zhen gave them another warning look.
Lu Xingchen noticed something was wrong when he entered the room. Looking at these people now, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and said, "You... don't you have something to ask me?"
As soon as these words came out, Jiang Haicheng was the first one to burst out laughing. Under Li Zhen's sharp eyes, he waved his hands at Lu Xingchen again and again, "No, no, we are asking Li Zhen."
Lu Xingchen looked at Li Zhen strangely, "Strange, what's going on?"
Li Zhen pulled her hand and asked her to sit next to him. "No, they asked me about work."
Lu Xingchen looked at him, "Do you believe this?"
Not believing it, Li Zhen smiled, "Anyway, don't ask me. I'll order you something else if you want to eat."
"No need, I've already eaten some at the company." Lu Xingchen didn't continue to ask. If they could just chat casually, Li Zhen wouldn't be so evasive. In that case, there was no need for her to know now.
Li Zhen still picked up the ordering tablet on the table and said, "I'll order you a few more delicious ones. You can eat some more."
Lu Xingchen did not refuse. He looked at Chen Xiaolin who was sitting opposite him and said, "Congratulations. You have won such a difficult project."
“It’s not my personal project, it’s the result of everyone’s joint efforts.”
"Anyway, well done."
"Thank you." Chen Xiaolin asked her generously, "After the national recruitment project was approved, your company's projects should have increased a lot, right?"
"Fortunately."
"You are being too modest. I haven't seen you very often recently. You must be very busy."
Although the two were bidding in a national recruitment project, they were still so friendly in private, especially Chen Xiaolin. Everyone could see that she worked harder after losing the bid, but she could still talk to Lu Xingchen about the bidding openly.
But thinking about it, Chen Xiaolin seemed to have lost to Lu Xingchen more than once, from the million-dollar competition held within Zhencheng Company earlier, to the government-supported sanatorium later, and then to this national recruitment project.
Everyone present admitted that Chen Xiaolin was capable, but when she met Lu Xingchen, she felt a little helpless.
Fortunately, Chen Xiaolin is a humble and generous person, so everyone can talk openly about Lu Xingchen's beautiful counterattack.
It was originally a celebration party for the AI department, and more specifically for the project leader Chen Xiaolin, but it somehow became Lu Xingchen's home court.
Chen Xiaolin suddenly felt a sense of trance as if time and space were intertwined. She couldn't tell the difference between the past and the present. As long as Lu Xingchen was willing, she seemed to be able to easily become the focus of everyone's attention.
She is the same age as Lu Xingchen and Lu Andi. Lu Andi has a large group of friends, including Wang Silin and Wang Guanyu, who had just had a conflict with Lu Xingchen. They usually go to various occasions with Lu Andi, but someone always asks, why didn't Lu Xingchen come?
Lu Xingchen went abroad for her studies since she was a child. Even when she returned to the Lu family during the holidays, she was fully scheduled for study and training. She had no time to join that circle of friends and was not interested in it. Even if she deliberately made time, it was to play basketball with Lu Dingsheng, go shopping with Xu Fanghua, and accompany the old lady to watch operas.
But even such people who rarely appear in that circle become the protagonists once they appear, the objects of praise by adults, the role models that girls can only dream of, and the goddesses that boys yearn for but dare not directly ask for their contact information.
She thought that it was because she had the halo of being Lu Dingsheng's daughter. Now that she has fallen from the altar, the reason why she is still shining is because of Li Zhen next to her?
It didn't seem to be the case, because Lu Xingchen didn't come just now. Although Li Zhen had a strong presence, he lived in seclusion in the city. He was quiet and low-key. After Lu Xingchen's arrival, even though he still didn't say much, his smile was particularly dazzling.
Chen Xiaolin raised her glass with everyone else and drank the wine that showed her her determination to work harder. Thirty years in the east, thirty years in the west. Even an outstanding person like Li Zhen took ten years to get to where he is today, so she still has a chance to change her fate.
The dinner ended in a lively atmosphere and everyone moved to the second stall.
Li Zhen and Lu Xingchen walked a little behind her. Fearing that she was tired, they asked her privately, "Do you want to go or go back to rest?"
Lu Xingchen smiled, "You came late and left early. Do I look like I came here on purpose to take you home and spoil everyone's fun?"
The two of them left the private room and happened to see Chu Zeyan coming out of the next private room while answering the phone. Chu Zeyan also saw Li Zhen and Lu Xingchen. He answered the phone, raised a hand holding a cigarette to greet them, and continued to walk to a quiet place.
Li Zhen and Lu Xingchen just nodded to him and continued walking forward.
After they walked away, Li Zhen asked, "Did he still contact you?"
"No, but there are two people he introduced to us before who are discussing a project with us." Lu Xingchen said and looked at him, "You're not still jealous, are you?"
"No." He said no, but he took the initiative to hold her hand, as he rarely held hands in public. "I just feel that the Chu family is very unstable right now, and I don't want you to have any contact with him."
"I know."
Just as Lu Xingchen finished saying this, he saw a dazed woman walking towards them. Because she was very tall and thin, she easily caught people's attention. Lu Xingchen was initially struck by her presence, but when he saw her face, he felt that... she looked familiar.
Moreover, the woman seemed to have drunk quite a bit of alcohol, and she bumped into her shoulder when she came over. Li Zhen immediately changed the hand he was holding to support her, "Are you okay?"
"It's okay..." Lu Xingchen had just finished saying this when she inexplicably felt a flash of light in the corner of her eyes. Her back stiffened reflexively and she turned her head in disbelief. She saw a fruit knife hidden in the woman's long sleeves. The knife was exposed when she bumped into her just now. She was hiding it in her sleeves in a panic, "Li Zhen..."
Lu Xingchen called him and originally wanted to tell him that the drunk woman seemed to be seeking revenge, but she suddenly shut up because at that moment she remembered who this woman was.
