When Lu Zhenhai uttered those words, He Ning was dumbfounded. Was this President Qing's father??
What's going on?
His assistant from the headquarters had previously told him to take good care of President Qing, saying that she was the big boss's younger sister!
In other words, President Qing's real father was Lei Yuanfu!
So, where did this man come from?
And he actually referred to himself as her father...
Qing Yan didn't even bother to look at him and was about to walk towards the company when Lu Zhenhai hurriedly intercepted her path.
"Yan Yan, this is a chocolate cake your father bought for you on his way here. He got it from that expensive dessert shop. You must know about its reputation, right? He personally waited in line for it..."
Upon hearing this, He Ning was moved and couldn't help but think that the people around President Qing were super nice, always buying her expensive pastries, and even queueing up for her...
He was about to compliment them when he heard President Qing's cold voice.
"I hate chocolate the most."
Lu Zhenhai's face stiffened, and he hastily said, "But I remember that you used to love chocolate the most. Could it be that your tastes have changed as you've grown up..."
"It's Lu Muyao who loves chocolate the most," Qing Yan coldly interjected, "From childhood to adulthood, chocolate has always been the thing I hate the most, without exception."
Now, Lu Zhenhai felt even more embarrassed. He quickly took out a wallet from his pocket and pulled out several hundred yuan bills. "Take this money and buy something you like. I'm sorry, Dad made a mistake..."
Qing Yan calmly avoided his touch and said, "Cut the crap."
He Ning was stunned. President Qing seemed to really dislike this middle-aged man. She looked impatient.
"Yan Yan, last time you accompanied the designer to a competition. Dad knows you're working here, and I came today to..." Lu Zhenhai's words were cut off as he suddenly noticed He Ning beside them. He looked puzzled and asked, "Yan Yan, is this your colleague?"
"Oh no, I'm He Ning, President Qing's assistant. You can call me Xiao He..." He Ning's words were interrupted by a warning glare from President Qing, and he was too scared to continue.
Lu Zhenhai looked at Qing Yan in astonishment. "You've risen from being an assistant to becoming the CEO? And you have your own assistant?"
He Ning: ???
Qing Yan: ...
"Well, since that's the case, you should help Dad even more!" Lu Zhenhai put away the wallet and explained his purpose, "Previously, Ou Yan's side withdrew their investment, and several major corporations announced that they wouldn't cooperate with us. Recently, a few more processing businesses terminated their contracts. Dad wants you to help out. Take the lead in collaborating with our company..."
Qing Yan: ???
"I heard your production has skyrocketed recently, with a backlog of orders. Can you pass some of them to us?"
Qing Yan understood his intention and sneered coldly, "Did you hit your head on the way here? Or has all the rain gone into your brain? If you're sick, go to the hospital instead of coming here to act crazy."
"You..."
Although Lu Zhenhai knew that she would scold him a bit when he came to see her, he didn't expect her to be so harsh, especially in front of her assistant.
Qing Yan was about to enter the company when Lu Zhenhai blocked her path again.
"Yan Yan, even if you don't consider it for the sake of your father's face, at least think about your grandmother. Ask yourself, has your grandmother treated you well all these years? Are you going to repay her kindness? Now that the Lu family is in trouble, will you help or not? We're just asking for a few orders, not demanding alimony from you!"
Impatiently, Qing Yan interrupted, "Where do you get the audacity to say all this to me?"
"Yan Yan! Consider it a request from your father. Even if you don't want to share some orders with me, at least give me a few designs."
Designs??
"You're the CEO now. Let that designer under you, Yin, design a few new styles for us for free. We can have a joint sale between our two companies! If you don't want to collaborate, we can sell separately!"
Qing Yan: ??
A joint sale meant cooperating with the Lu family's company to help them gain recognition...
If they sold separately, all the money would go into their pockets??
Helping them make money by designing styles for free? Even with a brain clot for thirty years, one wouldn't say such things.
"He Ning, go call the security. Tell them there's a lunatic here spouting nonsense."
"Yan Yan! How can you be so heartless and ruthless?" Lu Zhenhai became furious and berated, "The Lu family has raised you for eighteen years. Have I ever asked you for a single penny in these eighteen years? We're just asking you to give us a little bit, not everything you have. Why are you unwilling?"
Qing Yan raised her cold gaze and said icily, "I have already repaid my debt of gratitude. In these eighteen years, I haven't spent a single cent of your family's money!"
On the contrary, she secretly subsidized the Lu family, helped them!
Every time Lu Zhenhai's investments failed, she helped clean up the mess...
Like last time, when they lost billions of dollars so easily. If it weren't for her, the Lu family would have collapsed long ago!
Did he think he could come in a Maybach and flaunt his intelligence in front of her?
"Yan Yan, Dad doesn't want to argue with you..." Lu Zhenhai knew that she had some value to exploit, so he suppressed his temper and said in a pleasant tone, "How about this, you give me a few pieces of music, and I can sell them..."
"Why are you still standing there?" Qing Yan looked coldly at He Ning, "Aren't you going to call someone?"
He Ning hurriedly went to call the security.
As Qing Yan entered the company, she saw Lu Zhenhai about to follow her and warned coldly, "If you dare to take another step forward, the Lu family will be finished today!"
"You..."
Although he knew she didn't have the ability to do so, her aura made people inexplicably uneasy...
Seeing Qing Yan walking inside, Lu Zhenhai shouted loudly, "Dad is waiting for you at home. When you calm down and come to your senses, come back home and Dad will have someone make your favorite food!"
Qing Yan pressed the elevator button and entered.
"Don't forget, come home whenever you have time..." Lu Zhenhai turned around and walked towards the Maybach as the elevator doors closed.
Sitting in the car, Xu Aiqin and Lu Muyao watched him being treated badly, feeling extremely angry.
"This little brat became the CEO of a small company. Look at how arrogant she is! I don't know what tricks she used to get there. She even has the audacity to put on airs in front of us..." Xu Aiqin was furious.
"Dad, Mom, don't be angry. Sister is a kind-hearted person. I believe she will come to her senses sooner or later... Let's go home and wait for news." Lu Muyao understood their feelings and comforted them.
Xu Aiqin glanced at her daughter, finding her more pleasing to the eye no matter how she looked at her. Compared to that Qing Yan, she was countless times better!
Lu Zhenhai also realized that only Yao Yao was his close and understanding ally. That Qing Yan was simply a prickly hedgehog!
Every time he tried to get close, he would be met with bloodshed!
She's definitely not my biological daughter!
Just as Qing Yan returned to her office, her phone vibrated.
"Qing Yan, hurry to the hospital. Grandma's condition has worsened."
