Shu Qingqing originally just wanted to put on a quick act to deal with the sudden situation, but the moment she remembered seeing Fan Yashi trying to seduce Lu Bochuan on the surveillance footage, real anger surged up. She grabbed Fan Yashi by the shoulders and started shaking her.
How dare you seduce Lu Bochuan! I'll teach you to seduce Lu Bochuan! She didn't pull hair or slap faces; she just grabbed the new assistant's arms and shook her non-stop.
Fan Yashi wasn't as tall as Shu Qingqing and was wearing stiletto heels. Being shaken dizzy by Shu Qingqing, she couldn't break free at all.
Within minutes, she was shaken into a daze.
The moment Shu Qingqing let go, she plummeted straight to the floor.
Lu Bochuan: ......
For the first time in his life, Lu Bochuan experienced what it meant to be dumbfounded.
Seeing him just standing there without saying a word, Shu Qingqing pouted her lips at him.
Get angry! Scold me!
Lu Bochuan held back a smile and cleared his throat: Shu Qingqing! How could you treat my assistant like this! You are simply going too far!
Shu Qingqing: ......
She had truly witnessed Lu Bochuan's lack of vocabulary; he didn't even know how to scold someone properly.
Fan Yashi, on the other hand, didn't even notice what Lu Bochuan had said. When her head finally stopped spinning, she pitifully scrambled up: Mr. Lu, what did I do wrong this time? How could the madam... just come up and hit me!
Shu Qingqing, who hadn't hit anyone at all: ......
Lu Bochuan opened his mouth, but in the end, he only managed to squeeze out one sentence to Shu Qingqing—
You go out first.
And it was the kind of tone without the slightest hint of anger.
Shu Qingqing had no choice but to improvise. She pinched herself, forcing out two drops of tears, and then pointed a trembling finger at Lu Bochuan: You would actually kick me out for her? Fine, fine, fine. I'll leave! Lu Bochuan, don't you regret this!
After saying that, she covered her face and was about to run out, only to see the Marketing Director standing outside with a few people.
Perfect. She believed the news of her and Lu Bochuan fighting again would spread in no time.
Meanwhile, at the school.
Lu Yu was eating in the cafeteria with Zheng Binyang today. Halfway through the meal, Zheng Binyang complained the food was too salty and went to buy water.
Right after he left, a boy wearing glasses walked over.
Hey, Lu Yu, I heard your parents had a fight at the company. The person speaking was Chang Xu. His mother was a senior executive at the Lu Group, so he had a decent relationship with Lu Yu.
Lu Yu's hand paused: What fight?
Chang Xu: I heard it was because of an assistant. Anyway, my mom said she saw your mom running out of your dad's office crying.
Lu Yu threw down his chopsticks, got up, and left.
Taking a taxi to the company, he charged straight into the CEO's office. Dad, did you fight with Mom?
Lu Bochuan was in a meeting with the senior executives.
The door was pushed open with a bang, and everyone turned their heads.
Seeing the furious eldest young master, everyone looked at each other in dismay, but no one dared to speak.
Lu Bochuan closed the file: You all go back to your work first.
Hearing this, the executives quickly left.
Only then did Lu Yu walk in: Dad, I heard Mom ran out of your office crying, and I also heard you yelled at her because of an assistant.
What exactly is going on?
Lu Bochuan: None of that is true. You go back to school first, and I'll explain it to you tonight.
Dad, have you really fallen for someone else? Lu Yu gave him a disappointed look. Just now while waiting for the elevator, he had heard people nearby discussing this matter, and he even heard them say that Lu Bochuan had previously scolded Shu Qingqing during a meeting for that assistant.
He clenched his fists: I promised Mom back then that if you ever bullied her, I would leave with her from now on, and take Lu Xun too.
Lu Bochuan laughed out of anger. You really don't believe me that much? Forget it, I'll have your mom come over and talk to you.
He called Shu Qingqing. Hearing that Lu Yu was here, she hurried up.
Lu Yu, why did you come to the company at this hour? Is something wrong at school? The moment Shu Qingqing entered, she looked him up and down. Seeing that he wasn't hurt, she finally felt relieved.
Lu Bochuan took off his glasses and pinched the bridge of his nose: Mrs. Lu, please do me the favor of explaining our fight to Lu Yu, otherwise I'm about to become a lonely old man.
Shu Qingqing asked and found out what was going on, then immediately explained the acting situation.
Only then did Lu Yu realize he had made a fool of himself: Sorry, Dad... I didn't know this was your plan, but why didn't you tell me beforehand?
It's our fault, we should have given you a heads-up. Shu Qingqing hadn't said anything before because she was afraid it would affect Lu Yu's studies. However, they forgot that with so many people in the company, many of the executives' children knew Lu Yu, so it would inevitably reach his ears sooner or later.
Although Shu Qingqing didn't say it, Lu Yu thought about it for a second and understood why they hadn't told him.
Lu Yu lowered his head, feeling a bit embarrassed: Then my sudden arrival won't affect your plan, will it?
It won't affect it at all. In fact, it will make our plan go even more smoothly.
Sure enough, after she went downstairs, Xie Yingying pulled her aside and asked: I heard the eldest young master came? And he looked really upset?
Shu Qingqing nodded dejectedly: Lu Yu is a good kid. He knew his dad fought with me over an assistant and wanted to stand up for me, but in the end, he was also scolded by his dad. Lu Bochuan was angry that Lu Yu helped me, and just now he actually said he wanted to divorce me! He even froze all my cards!
Boohoo, Yingying, you're right, a woman should have her own career. I don't want to go back and see Lu Bochuan's face today, but I have nowhere else to go. Can you lend me a little money so I can book a hotel for tonight?
Xie Yingying immediately said: Why stay in a hotel? Come sleep at my place tonight. This was the perfect opportunity to persuade Shu Qingqing and see if she could get her to give up on Lu Bochuan and start working for Li Dagang again.
Shu Qingqing was even happier than she was. Going to her house was great; maybe she could find some evidence.
Just like that, harboring their own hidden motives, the two of them went to Xie Yingying's house together.
Coincidentally, they had ordered takeout, and not long after they started eating, Xie Yingying suddenly received a phone call.
Shu Qingqing heard her say she would make the revisions right away.
Didn't that mean she would have to use her computer?
As expected, Xie Yingying took her laptop out of her bag right after hanging up and placed it on the dining table.
And as luck would have it, the sideboard behind Xie Yingying was made of marble, and when she typed in her password, it reflected a shadow.
Shu Qingqing quickly memorized her hand movements.
Xie Yingying spent half an hour making revisions before setting the computer aside.
All done? Shu Qingqing asked.
No, I'll probably have to revise it again later. Xie Yingying didn't say much else.
The two of them reheated their food and continued chatting.
After dinner, Xie Yingying even found an inspirational women's movie for her to watch: Qingqing, you watch this first, I'm going to take a shower.
Shu Qingqing nodded.
Waiting until Xie Yingying entered the bathroom, she quickly inspected the room and found no hidden cameras.
