Su Mianmian felt a chill on the back of her neck. A pair of eyes seemed to be staring at her from behind. She patted Xu Mengting's back and slowly turned around.
Lu Xiangdong was standing behind them. He was wearing a black Italian suit, a blue tie, and leather shoes. Alongside this new outfit, his hair was combed neatly, and the watch he usually wore was changed.
Su Mianmian felt stunned, and it seemed that Tang Wenyun and Xu Mengting were similarly dumbfounded.
"Captain Lu!"
The assistant who stood next to Lu Xiangdong reminded them, "Captain Lu is no longer Captain Lu. He is the president of the NEPC International Airlines, which means he is your direct superior."
The three women felt a chill. Su Mianmian looked at him in surprise, and he looked back at her.
Everything flashed past their eyes like a movie.
She straightened her chest and walked past him. Tang Wenyun and Xu Mengting lowered their heads, not daring to look Lu Xiangdong in the eye.
Lu Xiangdong said to his assistant, "Let's go. We have a meeting."
"Yes, President."
He was used to being called Captain Lu by others, not President. He put his hands in his pockets and walked forward with pursed lips.
"Sister Su, I was really shocked! I didn't expect that the new President of the NEPC International Airlines would be Captain Lu. I knew that Captain Lu was not an ordinary person, but I never expected him to be the son of the boss! What a surprise." Xu Mengting was shocked. She kept mumbling to herself.
Tang Wenyun remained composed. She was sweating from the shock, but she didn't show it on her face.
Su Mianmian had been the first to know about it among the three of them, so she was the calmest one.
"There's nothing surprising about it. It was destined. We shouldn't worry too much about it. Captain Lu has become our immediate superior, but there may be benefits!" She wasn't sure if she had said this to comfort herself or her colleagues who were in shock.
Tang Wenyun nodded. "Sister Su is right. Captain Lu is upright, but it's better to let him lead. Xu Mengting, don't be too nervous. We have a new leader this time and we'll work together. It's not like he'll find trouble with hardworking people."
Xu Mengting pouted. "I'm just saying. Actually, I'm quite worried. President Lu usually doesn't smile. I don't know if it's good or bad to let him lead."
"You're worrying for no reason!"
Su Mianmian and Tang Wenyun spoke in unison.
They shook their heads and walked forward.
Xu Mengting bit her lip and chased after them.
When the three had arrived at the meeting room, they saw Qi Chuyan enter with a face full of glory, followed by Lu Xiangdong and his assistant.
Everyone's eyes fell on Lu Xiangdong. Some opened their mouths wide, while others stayed silent and waited for the situation to change.
"Captain Lu is the son of the chairman."
"That's right! It's a little hard to believe, but we have to accept it. Captain Lu is really handsome. Whether he's wearing a uniform or a suit, he's still very charming."
"It's a pity that we won't be able to fly with him in the future. We can only watch from afar."
Su Mianmian listened to the whispers beside her, her thoughts drifting.
As it was Lu Xiangdong's first time leading the company, many things were temporarily handled by his assistant. He sat in the most important seat at the conference table, his hands clasped together on the table.
The assistant next to him spoke as his representative.
"From today onwards, Captain Lu will handle the company's matters. In order to improve everyone's work efficiency, the reward and punishment system will be posted at the back. Everyone must work hard. Today's regular meeting will end here. If anyone has any questions, you can ask me privately." The assistant was worthy of being Lu Wenzhong's subordinate; having followed Lu Wenzhong for so many years, his speech was smooth and his work was clean and neat.
The reason why Lu Xiangdong did not speak out was because he had always disliked this type of person. He had chosen to be a captain because he liked it.
When he got up, his employees also got up. When he left the meeting room, the infatuated employees looked at him with reluctance.
Su Mianmian walked away from the crowd and chased after Lu Xiangdong.
"Captain Lu."
She heard someone shouting.
Lu Xiangdong turned around and remained where he was. Qi Chuyan stood in front of him, blocking her approach.
"Stewardess Su, it's work time now, not private time. Hurry up and go to work." Qi Chuyan used her position as the deputy general manager to stop her from approaching Lu Xiangdong.
Su Mianmian glared at her. "The deputy general manager knows that it's work time now. Why aren't you going to work? You're so attentive to Captain Lu. Do you want to be promoted?"
Qi Chuyan felt speechless.
Lu Xiangdong took his hands out of his pockets and let his assistant leave first. He stood in front of the two women and looked at Qi Chuyan. "You go and do your work first."
Although Qi Chuyan was unwilling to leave, due to her position, she had to leave first.
Su Mianmian stood face to face with him. A Gust of wind blew Su Mianmian's hair into a mess. She reached out to brush her hair behind her ear.
"Why? Why do you want to join the company? Don't you like the position of captain?" She actually wanted to say, 'in the future, the two of you will rarely see each other at work,' but she wouldn't say that out loud.
He smiled indifferently and said, "You can't have it both ways. If you want it, you have to sacrifice. If you don't sacrifice, you won't be happy."
Su Mianmian looked at him, she felt that he was not happy.
"Are you happy? Between the position of captain and president, which one do you prefer?"
He turned his head to look at her seriously. "Su Mianmian, rather than caring about me so much, why don't you think about yourself? You've been around for so many years, and you're still just a stewardess. Don't you feel that you don't have a single goal to strive for?"
Su Mianmian's face flushed red after being scolded by him.
"My ambition is just to be a stewardess." She stubbornly refused to admit what he said was true.
Lu Xiangdong rolled his eyes at her. "I'm not pursuing you, but you're a stewardess. Now that everyone's identities are different, if you don't want the fact that you're married to others to be known, then you should be even more obedient."
Su Mianmian pursed her lips. "You're right. How can a stewardess dream of having a relationship with the boss? Others will say that I'm a toad that wants to eat swan meat."
Lu Xiangdong knew that she was mocking him, but he did not have the intention to be angry with her. His originally gloomy mood instantly became much better after talking to her.
"Then you'll create a miracle and let a toad eat a swan."
"Huh?" Su Mianmian did not know what he meant by that.
"Stewardess Su, go back to work." Lu Xiangdong turned around, waved his hand with his back to her, and strode away.
She couldn't understand why he would enter the company for management. He had just left so rudely!
Su Mianmian turned her head and almost bumped into someone. Her wrist was grabbed by someone, and she was dragged to a corner. The pillar covered them.
"Chengwu Su, we meet again!" Li Mingzhe threw her against a wall.
She looked up at him in pain.
"Why are you here? Why are you here?"
"I let you run away last time, but this time you won't be so lucky. Chengwu Su, if you know what's good for you, just come with me. You won't have to suffer." He was naked. Naked! He was threatening her naked.
Su Mianmian did not believe that he would dare to cause trouble in the NEPC's territory. She puffed out her chest and said fearlessly, "I won't go with you. Let's see what you can do to me!"
"If you refuse a toast, you'll be forced to do it. Su Mianmian, I advise you to think carefully before you make a decision. Because if there's a slight mistake, your relationship with him will be exposed. Lu Xiangdong's reputation will also be damaged. You don't want him to suffer along with you, right?" She believed that she would definitely make some sacrifices for Lu Xiangdong because of their relationship.
Su Mianmian did not care about her own interests, but if it involved Lu Xiangdong's reputation, she could not act rashly.
"What exactly do you want? Shameless!"
"I have teeth, Stewardess Su. Insert this into Lu Xiangdong's computer and steal all the information about the NEPC on his computer. A smart person would do it without leaving a trace." He gave her a USB drive.
Su Mianmian looked at the USB drive that he handed over in astonishment. If she stole Lu Xiangdong's information, she would betray him. If she did, it might cause the entire NEPC International Airline to fall into crisis. But if she didn't accept his conditions, he would definitely expose their relationship. Which was more important?
"Take it. Don't forget, I saved you before. Now it's time for you to repay me." He stuffed the USB into her hand, patted her shoulder, and whispered into her ear "I believe you will make the most reasonable choice. I'll wait for your good news."
"I-"
"Your phone number is 1533 * * * 45, right?''
The corner of Su Mianmian's mouth twitched. He was really going all out to investigate everything about her. He knew her phone number, and she didn't know how many other secrets he knew about her.
"If you get what you want, you won't bother me anymore, right?" She clenched the USB in her hand tightly.
"Of course. If you get what I want, you'll become worthless," he said without any hesitation.
Su Mianmian put the USB into her pocket and sneered, "Then go back and wait for my news."
"Good girl. Go," Li Mingzhe said with a touch of praise.
