Chapter 15
Li Zhen was still confused.
Sitting next to her, Li Zhen saw the words clearly and exclaimed, "Meng Yuanjie! Why did you join this group?"
"Everyone has a gossipy nature," Meng Yuanjie was startled by Li Zhen's loud voice and quickly put away his phone.
Zhang Xiya had already sent the QR code for the "Macho Banquet" group to Li Zhen, but Li Zhen hadn't joined yet. She took a quick glance at the number of people in the group chat on Meng Yuanjie's phone, and it was already over 300!
And these 300+ people were going crazy talking about Lu Yanming lasting five seconds.
Li Zhen felt embarrassed for Lu Yanming.
As the instigator, Li Zhen decided to look at this optimistically, "Don't most colleagues no longer obsess over President Lu anymore?"
After all, only a minority of people in the elevator didn't care about a man's ability.
It was also a relief for Lu Yanming.
"On the contrary!" Zhang Xiya swallowed the chicken leg, her eyes lit up excitedly, "Everyone used to think President Lu was too perfect, an untouchable flower on the cliff. Knowing President Lu has such a big flaw, many colleagues are eager to try to bring down President Lu to save him in his suffering!"
"The group exploded, everyone has already thought of names for the kids with President Lu," Meng Yuanjie happily ate melon seeds without taking his eyes off the messages in the group.
Zhang Xiya: "Everyone has also given President Lu a very affectionate nickname: Five-Second God."
Li Zhen: ...How affectionate! They really don't treat him like an outsider!
She lowered her head and ate silently, not wanting to speak anymore.
"Is this seat taken?"
The familiar deep male voice came, and the four looked up at once.
"President Yu?" Meng Yuanjie was stunned at first.
Suddenly remembering that he still had the "Macho Banquet" screen on his phone.
He quickly flipped his phone face down with a slap.
Meng Yuanjie: "President Yu, no one is sitting here, please have a seat."
Zhang Xiya and Qiao Yi also exclaimed in unison: "President Yu."
Yu Sheng nodded slightly, which counted as greeting everyone, and sat down in the empty seat next to Li Zhen.
Yu Sheng was tall and muscular, with deep black eyes faintly sinking, his presence was too strong and daunting.
The originally chattering few people suddenly became as quiet as chickens.
They all lowered their heads to focus on their meals.
Li Zhen's hair stood on end!
When they secretly married at the company, she would lower her head when passing by him, afraid someone would find any clues.
Even after the divorce, she still reflexively resisted getting too close to Yu Sheng at the company.
"I'm done eating, I'll go first..." Li Zhen shrank her neck, preparing to slip away, but her wrist was suddenly gripped.
Li Zhen stared at him, conveying her nervousness with frown and blinking eyes.
But Yu Sheng did not let go, maintaining a firmly controlling posture, his dark eyes cold and handsome, "You have no appetite today? Eating so little, have a couple more bites."
Li Zhen jerked her hand but didn't pull it loose.
The other three immediately stared at the two's clasped wrists, their eyes wide open in shock.
Qiao Yi suddenly got up with an awkward laugh, "We're done eating, Li Zhen, President Yu, take your time."
Meng Yuanjie also hurriedly cleaned up his utensils, "I'm done too..."
Zhang Xiya stared at Li Zhen and Yu Sheng with confusion, while happily eating her chicken leg.
"Didn't you just say you were full? Hurry up and go," Qiao Yi said resentfully as she pulled Zhang Xiya up.
Zhang Xiya was puzzled, "When did I say..."
Meng Yuanjie covered her mouth, "You did, hurry up and go!"
After the three left, Li Zhen couldn't hold in her anger anymore. She heavily put down her chopsticks and said, "Yu Sheng!"
Then she looked around worriedly again, lowered her voice and said, "What are you doing? Even if we're divorced, we'll still both be fired if it's discovered we were secretly married. Don't you know?"
Being fired directly would be great.
But it was also a breach of contract!
The liquidated damages for Yu Sheng as a marketing employee were negligible.
But Li Zhen's were 2.5 million!
"Is that so? I thought since you didn't reply to my messages, you were forcing me to find you in person at the company." Yu Sheng let go of her hand, his gaze growing even colder.
Yesterday he had messaged her, and she didn't reply at all.
She also didn't reply to this morning's message.
Li Zhen's chin tilted up slightly, and she spoke with some momentum, "Why are you still messaging me after the divorce?"
"Li Zhen, don't tell me you blocked me?" Yu Sheng said, and saw Li Zhen's slightly raised chin gradually lower, looking guilty.
Yu Sheng: "You really blocked me?"
"But I didn't block your call..." Li Zhen avoided Yu Sheng's murderous gaze and lowered her head to eat.
She had blocked Yu Sheng's messages when moving after the divorce.
The two hadn't exchanged a word in the ten days before the divorce, how could she expect Grandpa Li and her dad to keep finding her and Yu Sheng these past two days, and Yu Sheng had agreed every time, always finding reasons to contact her these two days. She had also received a call from Grandpa this morning, telling her to go to the Songs' with Yu Sheng after work today, it involved a major project for the Li family, she had to go.
If not for the 1.2% equity issue, Li Zhen would have told her dad long ago that they were divorced, and she wouldn't have to keep dealing with Yu Sheng, but she couldn't now.
Today's matter concerned the Li family. Facing Yu Sheng's questioning, she could only shrink her neck and listen, not daring to confront him.
Yu Sheng glanced at her, "You have one minute to add me back."
"I don't know how to re-add someone I blocked." Li Zhen refused.
"Give me your phone." Yu Sheng held out his hand.
Li Zhen tried to pull her phone back, but the next second, the phone was already snatched away by Yu Sheng.
After a few taps Yu Sheng added them back.
Li Zhen was too lazy to care about him, and continued to bury her head in her meal, but suddenly felt something wrong, as if the temperature around her body had cooled in an instant.
She turned to look.
Yu Sheng's dark and deep eyes were staring at her, that gaze was meaningful.
"Li Zhen, what did President Lu call you to his office to do yesterday during lunch break?"
"Ah?" Li Zhen looked at it, Yu Sheng's hand clearly displayed their chat history.
Her usually quick-thinking brain stopped working.
She even forgot to question him for checking her chat history.
Honghai's policies were extremely strict. If anyone found out she married Lu Yanming, the result would definitely be both of them kicked out of Honghai.
Lu Yanming was the deputy CEO of the group. He must have put in tremendous effort to reach this position.
Especially her... 2.5 million!
"Li Zhen, what is the deputy CEO of the group calling a little hand model like you to his office to do during lunch break?" Yu Sheng asked this sentence word for word.
He had been with Li Zhen for five years and had never checked her chat history, he hadn't even had that thought.
He had been doted on by the public since childhood, and chose her from countless pursuers.
He had enough confidence that she would always love him, and would never give him up for another man.
But just now from the corner of his eye he saw she was actually in contact with Lu Yanming, and suspicion instantly welled up. Lu Yanming directly led the department heads, he wouldn't have work contact with a low-level employee at all, so he opened it to look.
"Yesterday was..." Li Zhen felt Yu Sheng's gaze was substantive as he stared at her, and felt a slight chill on her back.
This was a bit tricky... No matter what, she and the deputy CEO of the group shouldn't have any interaction.
Moreover, once Yu Sheng became suspicious, any lie she told would be easily seen through.
