Chapter 399 Decent
Both publicly and privately, Lu Xingchen didn't like Yang Wenqi very much, but she had a good impression of Shen Mingzhen. Although they only met for a meal, judging from her words and actions, she did have the charm to fascinate Lu Yize.
Perhaps Lu Yize also noticed that she had some feelings for Shen Mingzhen. After returning home from dinner, he called her and asked her how she felt about Shen Mingzhen.
Lu Xingchen could only answer: "I don't think it matters what she is like. The most important thing is that you two really like each other. Also, since she is related to your eldest brother and is Yang Wenqi's friend, even if you don't care about this relationship, you still have to think about how to let her get to know other people in the family more naturally."
Lu Yize felt that Shen Mingzhen's relationship with Yang Wenqi was okay, it was just a matter of being a few years older than him. But her relationship with his eldest brother was a bit awkward. He sometimes felt a little weird when he thought about it. So when Shen Mingzhen said that she didn't want other people in the family to know about their relationship for the time being, he could understand it very well.
"So, she didn't want other people in our family to know about our relationship for the time being, and said she should give her some more time, and I agreed."
Lu Xingchen thought about it and felt that it was understandable. After all, she was nine years older than Lu Yize. Lu Xingchen could guess her aunt's reaction after she knew about it. What's more, she had liked Lu Yiheng, which made it even more troublesome.
"Well, you can discuss it among yourselves, but as a boy, you have to be responsible and have your own opinions. Don't let the girl think that you are incapable of protecting her if you get caught."
"Got it." After Lu Yize finished talking about his own affairs, he boldly asked, "You and Li Zhen...really broke up?"
Lu Xingchen also guessed that he could not escape this question, so he asked him back: "Does everyone in the family know about it?"
Lu Yize acquiesced and said, "Do you want me to beat up Li Zhen so that you can vent your anger?"
Lu Xingchen: "Can you beat me?"
Lu Yize: “…That’s different.”
Lu Xingchen: "I'm telling you, if I want to solve it, I don't need you to come here by myself."
Lu Yize: "Then can you beat him?"
Now it was Lu Xingchen's turn to be speechless. He could only defend himself from another angle, "Speaking with fists is the least convincing, okay?"
Lu Yize said with a smile: "Do you want to talk to your second uncle about this?"
Lu Xingchen was shocked, "Is your second uncle going to find someone to beat Li Zhen?"
Lu Yize: "I don't know whether there was a fight or not, but I heard that Lu Corporation wants to cancel its cooperation with Zhencheng, and there may be other developments. Anyway, if Second Uncle takes action, Zhencheng Company will suffer even if it has the support of Feng Corporation."
Lu Xingchen was in a state of panic, "I'm afraid this will happen..."
Lu Yize: "Since he dares to betray you, then be prepared to suffer. Why didn't I see that he was that kind of person before? Otherwise, I would have advised you to break up with him a long time ago!"
"Hi..." Lu Xingchen said nothing, "Let's do this for now, I'll call your second uncle."
"You want to convince Second Uncle to let Li Zhen go? Once Second Uncle makes a decision, can you persuade him?"
Lu Xingchen was not sure, but still said: "We have to persuade him even if he can't."
"You are still exaggerating at this time..." Before Lu Yize could say anything else, Lu Xingchen had already hung up on his nagging.
When Lu Dingsheng saw Lu Xingchen calling him, he guessed what it was about and picked up the phone.
"Yeah, Xingchen."
"Why didn't you tell me when you moved Zhencheng?"
"I haven't even told you this, but you're planning to object?" Lu Dingsheng said seriously, "Just pretend you don't know about this and focus on your work."
This sentence is exactly the same as what Li Zhen often said. Lu Xingchen knew that direct persuasion would probably be useless, so he changed the point and said, "I still remember how it felt when my mother and I were forced to lose everything by the Lu family."
Lu Dingsheng's dissatisfaction with Li Zhen suddenly became a blockage in his chest, and his voice became much lower. "Why are you talking about this suddenly?"
Lu Xingchen stopped talking for the time being and said, "I remember you said that we should keep public and private affairs separate."
Lu Dingsheng: "That depends on whether the person is worth it."
Lu Xingchen continued to attack: "So, I was not worthy, so my family retaliated against me?"
Lu Dingsheng's heart and brows knitted at the same time, because Lu Xingchen had never expressed her grievances in this way, "Are you using yourself as an example to persuade me to let him go for Li Zhen?"
Lu Xingchen: "It's not all for him, but if I'm good with Li Zhen, I'll go to you to help him find cooperation with the Lu family. If I break up with him, not only will you cancel the cooperation we talked about before, but you'll also attack him in all aspects. In this way, what's the difference between me and those people who suppressed me completely because I left the Lu family?"
"..." Lu Dingsheng was suddenly speechless.
After school, Lu Xingchen softened his tone, "I know you did it for me, but even if I broke up with Li Zhen, I cannot deny that Zhixing Company can get to where it is today because Li Zhen helped me build bridges and pave the way. If it is according to our Lu family's practice, then shouldn't Li Zhen start to suppress Zhixing in an all-round way after breaking up with me?"
Lu Dingsheng: "He dares?"
"But aren't you doing the same thing?" Lu Xingchen said in a serious tone, "Part ways amicably, and live happily ever after. This is what I most wanted to see for you and my mom. However, my mom didn't get it, but I want to keep this dignity for those who I have treated sincerely. Besides, since I don't want to rely on the Lu family to start a business, how can I expect the Lu family to help me solve my personal relationship?"
Zhencheng Building.
Top floor, president's office.
Today, Luo Shi returned to Li Zhen with the contingency plan that Zhen Cheng held a few days ago in response to Lu's actions and placed it on his desk.
Li Zhen looked at Luo Shi in confusion after seeing the title of the file: "What's wrong?"
Luo Shi replied: "No one from Lu's came today."
Aren't they going to terminate the partnership? Li Zhen was puzzled: "Did they change the date?"
Luo Shi shook his head: "The chip cooperation project will not be interrupted. Lu will cooperate with us as usual. The backup plan for dealing with other companies is probably useless because all the companies have stopped their actions."
Li Zhen was only surprised for a moment, and then his chest contracted violently, because he immediately guessed the reason. It was most likely Lu Xingchen who stopped it.
"Lu's...didn't anyone bring me any words?"
Even if it's just a curse or a beating.
However, Luo Shi shook his head, "No one came, no explanation, no official or personal matters, nothing."
The corners of Li Zhen's mouth twitched involuntarily, revealing a smile that was uglier than crying, Lu Xingchen, Lu Xingchen.
Luo Shi finally couldn't help but ask, "Do we really have to go this far?"
Li Zhen: "This is the fastest way."
Luo Shi: "Can't you give Xingchen a hint?"
Li Zhen: "Do you think she will just stand by and watch without intervening if she knows? Those people even dared to take Feng Qianyu's life, let alone Lu Xingchen?"
