Zhu Rui heaved a sigh of relief.
“President, you said that you would settle, but how would you do so? We should make a report immediately…” the high level executive said emotionally.
Lu Shaoming looked at the high level executive with his deep and eerily cold gaze then curled his thin and cold lips into a smile and said, “Why, how I want to settle this matter also needs to be reported to you?” That high level executive was frightened and was covered with a layer of cold sweat. The executive immediately channeled his gaze down and said, “President, I do not dare to do so.” Lu Shaoming stood up and walked out of the meeting room.
…
Zhu Rui followed behind Lu Shaoming, and he said, “President, Miss Ning would definitely not steal the formula of Cabbage Plume. There must be someone that is maligning her, I…” Lu Shaoming suddenly stopped in his tracks and he turned to face Zhu Rui directly. He laughed and his deep voice had a touch of carelessness. “Secretary Zhu, are you very familiar with Ning Qing? I think I remember that day in the meeting where Ye Ting stole Ning Qing’s designs. It was you who opened the doors to the meeting room to let her in. What kind of relationship does Secretary Zhu have with her?”
Zhu Rui was instantly at a loss for words. What did President…mean? Was he suspecting that he liked Madam? Oh my, he was even more wronged than Dou E!
But thinking about what President did in the past, President who lost his memories felt that they were both strangers, and he was being too protective and enthusiastic towards Ning Qing who was supposed to be a stranger.
“President, I…”
At this moment, “Young Master Lu.” Ning Qing walked over towards them.
She was wearing a mustard long knitted shirt, together with black shorts that covered her knees and she wore a pair of bright yellow high heeled shoes. Her small and delicate face was framed by a knitted beanie. Her eyes were incredibly beautiful. Looking at others with her watery eyes was enough to hook onto their souls, her attire made her seem like someone who was featured by a fashion magazine, like one of those stories where the girl gets noticed by sheer chance. Ning Qing walked in front to face Lu Shaoming and gave a sweet smile as she said, “Young Master Lu”
Zhu Rui hated that he could not make an escape. He lowered his gaze and murmured in his heart: Madam cannot see me, cannot see me…
Ning Qing saw him and politely greeted him. “Secretary Zhu”.
Zhu Rui, “…” It was the end for him. Even jumping into the Yellow River now, he wouldn’t be able to regain his innocence. At this moment, a gust of cold brittle wind came by Ning Qing’s side. Lu Shaoming lifted his heels and left.
“Ay, Young Master Lu, wait for me!” Ning Qing immediately gave chase. What was wrong with him lately? He did not have any gentlemanly manners towards women, and his temperament was even more unpredictable than a lady’s.
Xiao Zhou looked at the duo that was slowly disappearing in the distance and asked Zhu Rui, “Secretary Zhu, what’s wrong with your President? Why is he behaving so strangely?”
“That’s right… President is jealous now.”
“Jealous?” Xiao Zhou was excited now. “Jealous of whom?”
Zhu Rui pointed towards himself.
Xiao Zhou burst out into a light laugh and said, “Secretary Zhu, don’t joke around with me. Your President is jealous of you?”
Zhu Rui shrugged his shoulders with a bitter smile and said, “I also hope that the President is pulling my leg right now.”
…
Ning Qing followed Lu Shaoming into the office. She was chatting incessantly like a small girl that was showing her parents that she scored full marks. “Young Master Lu, where did you go today? I send a text to you, did you see that? Why didn’t you come to watch my performance? I waited very long for you to come. Let me tell you, the performance ended successfully, hehe.”
Lu Shaoming stood upright with one hand in his pocket. His gaze was deep and dark while looking at her. He used another hand to pass her the documents to her and said, “Have you looked at this?”
Ning Qing received the documents over to have a look – it was the formula for Cabbage Plume. Ning Qing hesitantly nodded her head and said, “I think I saw it before… Yesterday night I accidentally touched the documents on your desk, then I think I had a glance at it…”
“You really only had a simple glance at it?”
Ning Qing realized his strange behavior, and she lifted her gaze to ask him blankly, “Young Master Lu, what do you mean?” Lu Shaoming curled his lips into a smile and laughed mysteriously. “Lin Xuemei, is she your friend? She is now the marketing manager of GK Cosmetics. You saw the Cabbage Plume formula last night, then you boarded her car. This is such a coincidence. This morning, the formula to Cabbage Plume was leaked to GK.” Ning Qing widened her eyes in disbelief. “The formula was leaked? How could it be?” But she thought of something immediately. She then took a step back to look at Lu Shaoming, she shook her head and shivered as she said, “You…you suspect that I…stole the formula to give it to Xuemei?”
Lu Shaoming’s dark and bright eyes had a layer of black. Nobody would understand what he was thinking, he said, “If not…?”
“If not?” Ning Qing felt like she was walking on the road and was randomly hit by a bolt of lightning without any rhyme or reason. He actually suspected that she was the one who stole his formula? The documents in Ning Qing’s hand fell to the floor. She took two steps forward and reached out her hand to tug his suit. She smiled and said, “You obviously know that I cannot steal the formula, you are joking with me. With regards to the leak in formula, we can go investigate this. I am innocent. I have a clear conscience. We can definitely catch the mastermind behind this. But, don’t you malign me. What evidence do you have to stand her and accuse me?”
Lu Shaoming lightly pursed his lips without speaking, and he shook her hand away coldly. Ning Qing was pushed far away. She looked at his cold expression and her eyes reddened and tears came falling down. The Lu Shaoming in the past would not ever treat her like this. He pampered her so much then.
Ning Qing used her small hand to wipe her tears. She took a breath with her red nose and said, “I thought, I thought even though you didn’t like me, at least you could see my effort and know my feelings. I thought you had trust in me, but looking at things now, that was totally not the case.”
“Today is the day of my first piece of work. I hoped so fervently that you would appear. Because I was nervous and wanted to see you, even if you didn’t speak but sat down in the audience, that would have been okay. But not only did you not come, you are now suspecting that I stole your formula!
“Lu Shaoming, how come you turned out to be so stupid? If I wanted to help GK, I could’ve just gone and endorsed their product; that would have been more than enough. Why did I choose you? With my current status, I needn’t curry favor with you. You suspect me? Okay, I will show you in your face that I am innocent, then you’ll regret it.
“Also, what kind of crappy company do you have? Two days ago, I was locked in the freezer room, and now someone cut up my clothes. I am leaving and I will never return again!” Ning Qing said her words and turned away to run.
Lu Shaoming looked at the girl’s face that was filled with tears. Her red lips were pouty and she seemed to have been wronged. She left him with a pitiful back profile. It was like that day when it was raining, when she was eating her donut while crying. He did not know why his heart was in pain again.
Was he pitying her?
The girl ran for two steps and stopped, she did not turn around, and pretended to be fierce while calling out to him, “Oy, I will give you another chance. You can still choose to believe me. If you take this way, I will forgive you immediately.”
Lu Shaoming curled his lips… This girl…
He was not willing to speak. Ning Qing bit down on her red lips and lowered down her gaze to look at her own feet. “I really did not steal your formula, can’t you try to believe me once? Where is the trust between humans? Do you really have to hurt me like this?”
Lu Shaoming was still silent.
Ning Qing stood there awkwardly for one minute and in the end, she frustratedly stomped her feet and said, “Lu Shaoming, I don’t want to like you anymore.”
Ning Qing really ran off this time.
…
Looking at Ning Qing run out of his office, that high level executive that was hiding in a hidden corner of the corridor all this while turned around and walked into the male bathroom. He secretly took out his phone and said, “Hello, Manager Lin…” This high level executive did not know his actions were seen entirely by Zhu Rui. Zhu Rui walked into the President’s office, “President, he took the bait.”
Lu Shaoming slowly ambled to the French windows. He lowered his vision to look. That girl ran downstairs. She had a pair of sunglasses on her small face and was ambushed by journalists coming from all directions. “Okay.” He nodded to answer him. “During the play today, someone came to cut her clothes up?” Zhu Rui did not hear clearly, and he asked, “Who?”
Then Lu Shaoming turned his head and his sharp and unhappy gaze came shooting over. Zhu Rui suddenly saw the light.
It was about Madam.
“I am not too clear about this. Later I will ask someone to check on this.”
“No need.” Lu Shaoming shook his head. “That day, during the freezer incident, we found out that it was the work of a female employee. I fired that person, and it was considered a warning towards the entire company. But those that want to harm her are still actively pursuing their goals. Even a high level executive in the company is involved in this now. Where did they get their guts from? Unless there is someone that has even more power who is ordering them around.”
Zhu Rui did not understand. “President, you mean?”
…
Ning Qing went downstairs and she was ambushed by the journalists who had waited a long time for her. “Miss Ning, it is your first stage play today and it ended beautifully. This is another milestone in your entertainment career. Can we ask, where will the center of your work be in the future?”
“Yes, Miss Ning, we want to know, what is future step in your career development? We are all very curious.” The bodyguards were protecting Ning Qing and Xiao Zhou blocked all media journalists saying, “Sorry, our Ning Qing is tired today. She will not be accepting interviews. This play had been prepared by Ning Qing for a long time; she plans to have a few days of rest. If we have any updates, we will inform everyone as they develop. Thank you everyone.”
Xiao Zhou protected Ning Qing and boarded the limo.
The engine started.
Ning Qing, who was sitting in the back seat, removed her sunglasses. Xiao Zhou looked at her red eyes and asked, “Ning Qing, what is wrong? Did Lu Shaoming bully you?”
Ning Qing pouted her lips and was upset. She was not negative, but she ordered Xiao Zhou saying, “Xiao Zhou, can you help me check when Lin Xuemei entered GK?”
“Okay.”
After a few minutes Ning Qing had the statistics to report to Ning Qing, “Ning Qing, Lin Xuemei entered GK half a month ago. She was then quickly promoted to be marketing manager.”
“Half a month ago? That is to say when I entered Guang Qing, she also followed suit and entered GK?” Ning Qing had a flash of thought pass her. It was too good to be a coincidence last night, and she had walked into a trap.
Lin Xuemei wanted to harm her?
Why?
“Ning Qing, why are you looking into this?” Xiao Zhou asked curiously. Ning Qing placed her two small hands in front of her, tangled them together, and said unhappily, “Shaoming suspects that I am the one who stole Cabbage Plume’s formula and gave it to Xuemei.”
“What?” Xiao Zhou almost jumped up. She placed her hands on her waist and said, “Ning Qing, your Young Master Lu lost his memories, did he also have a dip in his intelligence? Doesn’t he use his brain to think? How can he suspect you? Is he a pig?”
Ning Qing actually was furious with Lu Shaoming in her heart, but upon hearing Xiao Zhou scold him as a “pig”, she hastily stopped her. “Xiao Zhou, don’t scold him. I don’t allow you to scold him…”
