Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Lin Shanchu and Qiao Jiaxi looked at each other without saying a word for a long time.

Mainly, she really did not know how to answer Qiao Jiaxi’s anti-intellectual question.

That was right, it was anti-intellectual.

If Qiao Jiaxi had beat her brains out, she would not have asked such a question.

She initially thought that with Qiao Jiaxi’s ability, she would make a fool of herself at worst with top-notch resources.

In the end, she had overestimated Qiao Jiaxi.

Forget about becoming famous, Qiao Jiaxi might not even be able to survive.

In Qiao Jiaxi’s eyes, Lin Shanchu remained silent because she was at a loss for words after she touched on a sore point.

“I was right on the mark, wasn’t I?”

Qiao Jiaxi smiled smugly. “I didn’t have the chance to get close to Lu Shiyuan in the past because he was always occupied by Tang Qidai. As long as I have the chance to get close to him, he will definitely know that the woman he loves the most is me.”

In this world, there were always some foolish women who thought that they were very special in the eyes of men, and would value a man’s favor more than their career.

Qiao Jiaxi turned to look at Lin Shanchu and said magnanimously, “Don’t worry, I won’t compete with you for the status of fiancée. I only want Lu Shiyuan. ”

Lin Shanchu asked, “Do you think I care about the status of fiancée?”

“If you don’t care about this status, why did you swallow the insults for so many years and not break off the engagement with Lu Shiyuan?” Qiao Jiaxi confidently stated her guess.

Lin Shanchu did not explain herself, but asked seriously, “Are we not going to investigate Jing Ming’s death?”

It used to be one of Qiao Jiaxi’s purposes coming to Lu Corporation.

“Our line of work is stressful and there are many depressed people. Isn’t it normal for one or two people to commit suicide because they can’t withstand the pressure? Besides, with Lu Shiyuan’s identity, he didn’t have to target Jing Ming.”

Unimpressed, Qiao Jiaxi defended Lu Shiyuan. “There’s no evidence in the first place.”

The word “evidence” had completely stepped on Lin Shanchu’s toes.

“In that case, I wish you a safe journey,” Lin Shanchu said with no warmth in her gentle voice as her gaze turned cold.

It was hard to persuade a stubborn person with good-intentioned words.

Since Qiao Jiaxi wanted to court death, so be it.

Although Qiao Jiaxi was brainless, she still had some common sense. Lin Shanchu’s words were so inauspicious that it was no different from cursing her to death.

“What do you mean?”

Lin Shanchu did not even spare Qiao Jiaxi another glance.

She walked straight to the door, pulled it open and walked out.

Qi Cheng and He Xiang were outside. Qiao Jiaxi chased after her angrily. “Lin Shanchu, stop right there!”

Lin Shanchu walked even faster.

Qi Cheng glanced at Qiao Jiaxi and opened the door to the maximum. He even smiled kindly at Qiao Jiaxi.

The intention was evident. As long as Qiao Jiaxi was not afraid of embarrassing herself, she could shout out loud to the other employees.

Qiao Jiaxi stomped her feet in anger.

Qi Cheng caught up with Lin Shanchu and asked her, “What have you said to make Qiao Jiaxi so angry?”

Lin Shanchu looked calm. “I wish her a safe journey.”

Qi Cheng was speechless for a moment.

These words did not sound very auspicious. They did not start a fight probably because Lin Shanchu left quickly enough.

He Xiang asked curiously, “Sister Lin, why did you say those words to her?”

“She has taken a fancy to Lu Shiyuan and thinks that he will fall in love with her as long as she works hard enough.”

Lin Shanchu’s tone was light and emotionless.

He Xiang could not tell how Lin Shanchu was feeling at the moment, so she naturally dared not ask why she would court death if she took a fancy to Lu Shiyuan.

She could only turn to look at Qi Cheng, begging for an explanation.

Qi Cheng’s gaze darkened. “The video for clarification was posted by Qiao Jiaxi’s account. Lu Shiyuan won’t let her off the hook because of this.” Qi Cheng was once a famous manager in the industry.

He had dealt with Lu Shiyuan many times.

From the perspective of business cooperation, Lu Shiyuan’s vision and methods were impeccable and even admirable.

At least, that was what he had thought before Jing Ming’s accident.

After Jing Ming’s accident, Qi Cheng realized that a person with extraordinary vision would be no different from a demon if he had lost his humanity.

Demons had no humanity.

Cannibalism and murder are commonplace.

He Xiang nodded, but she did not fully understand his words.

Her understanding of Lu Shiyuan was limited. She only remembered that when she was by Tang Qidai’s side, Lu Shiyuan was very gentle to Tang Qidai.

The elevator door opened and the group arrived at the floor where Lu Shiyuan’s office was located.

Zhou Yan walked over from the opposite side. Both of their targets were Lu Shiyuan’s office.

“Miss Lin.”

Zhou Yan nodded slightly at Lin Shanchu, and then he reached out to knock on the door.

Lin Shanchu pushed him away when he stretched out his hand halfway.

Lin Shanchu turned the doorknob and kicked the door open with a bang.

There was another executive sitting in the room, as if he was discussing something with Lu Shiyuan.

“President Lin.” The executive looked embarrassed.

“Are you busy?” Lin Shanchu casually walked over and sat down opposite the two of them, as if she was at home.

The executive was sensible. “President Lu, I’ll leave first then…

“Why are you leaving? Since we’re talking about the company’s affairs, let’s discuss together.” Lin Shanchu interrupted the executive.

The executive turned to look at Lu Shiyuan, wanting to seek his opinion.

“President Lu…” the executive said tentatively.

“Then let’s talk about the company releasing a large number of scandals about Tang Qidai’s dark past, shall we?”

Lin Shanchu held her head and smiled innocently. “Tang Qidai is a good friend of President Lu. How dare you do this without his instructions? You are so bold. ”

As Lin Shanchu spoke, her gaze landed on the executive.

The executive’s expression changed slightly. “President Lin, it’s a misunderstanding. The company didn’t do such a thing. It was all dug up by the netizens. ”

“Is that so? The netizens are really amazing.” Lin Shanchu turned her head and asked Lu Shiyuan, “Don’t you think so?”

Lu Shiyuan’s face darkened as he instructed the executive, “You go out first.”

The executive quickly got up and left, as if he was running for his life.

Wasn’t he just running for his life?

Although he had denied Lin Shanchu’s words, the truth was that the company had indeed released the scandals on Tang Qidai as instructed.

Everyone knew how much Lu Shiyuan had doted on Tang Qidai.

If it weren’t for Lu Shiyuan’s instructions, no one would be able to do anything to Tang Qidai even if she was done for.

Any keen-eyed person knew that Lu Shiyuan’s actions meant to shift the blame onto Tang Qidai so that he could get away with it.

After all, this was not something to be proud of. The fewer people who knew about it, the better.

Even if he knew about it, he had to play dumb.

After the executive left, Qi Cheng and He Xiang were still there.

Lu Shiyuan shouted coldly, “I said, get out!”

Qi Cheng did not move.

Seeing this, He Xiang also stood still as if she did not hear him.

Other than Lin Shanchu, Lu Shiyuan did not have much patience with the others.

He grabbed the coffee cup in front of him and was about to throw it at them.

At the same time, Lin Shanchu picked up the ashtray beside her and smashed it on Lu Shiyuan’s hand, breaking the coffee cup in his hand.

“You cannot simply lay hands on my friends!”
