Chapter 827: Eats, Drinks, and Still Has the Energy to Argue
"During the time we were living together, we were almost inseparable. Did Zhao Zhao notify me about the ’good deeds’ he did with that woman named Luo Xinyan? Wouldn’t you be the one most aware of that? If it’s Qin Technology Group’s people doubting me, that’s one thing, but do you doubt me too?"
Zhang Lingying: "But you left afterward..."
Lu Jing: "Let’s correct that, it wasn’t me who left, it was you who left, sneaking off in the middle of the night with your Jeep behind my back. I was forced to end our time living together when I happened to receive some important intel and had to leave the country temporarily to find someone."
In other words, during that period, he wasn’t even in the Re Group.
And the fact that Zhao Zhao and Luo Xinyan were both apprehended in succession proved that indeed he had nothing to do with the whole matter.
Zhang Lingying was at a loss for words, "Then the other competitors of Re Group..."
Halfway through her sentence, she recalled the image of him confronting reporters on camera and suddenly couldn’t bring herself to ask.
She was afraid Lu Jing would repeat the sarcastic words he told reporters right in her face, telling her if she wanted to know how losers failed, she could go ask those who lost, instead of him.
Lu Jing furrowed his brow slightly, explaining patiently, "I wouldn’t dare claim to be a perfect person, but I’m not someone who can’t even admit to what I’ve done."
Business competition indeed involves many unsavory tactics, but he has his pride and principles. He simply doesn’t care to clarify others’ misunderstandings about him, which doesn’t mean he accepts them.
Lu Jing glanced at Zhang Lingying, catching the guard in her eyes, his gaze turned dark, "You’ve only been in Qin Nanyu’s experimentation team for such a short time, and you can’t help but stand up for him in front of me?"
"I just want to find out the truth." Zhang Lingying thought of the accusations Lu Xiao made against him on camera, and her tone turned serious.
Lu Jing pulled up a somewhat mocking smile, "Do you really want to uncover the truth, or have you simply never believed me from the start? Since you care so much about Qin Nanyu, why not just ask me for the Re Group’s experimental data? You’re my lifesaver now; I would give you anything."
Zhang Lingying inexplicably got angry as well, saying in a deep voice, "Don’t be so smug. Our lab doesn’t use such underhanded competitive tactics and will definitely win! As for you, Re Group’s reputation is so bad now; you’re still being boycotted by netizens. We may not even need to do anything; you’ll probably ruin yourself first!"
Lu Jing: "So, you came to bring me food just to check if I was still alive?"
Zhang Lingying: "...Exactly! I’m just that nasty, wanting to see if you’re so enraged by being cursed by netizens that you’d spit blood. It’s a pity I didn’t see it; it seems that harm like you lives for a thousand years!"
Zhang Lingying angrily finished speaking, stood up abruptly from the sofa, grabbed the lunch box she brought, and walked out.
When she reached the door, she happened to bump into the assistant coming to deliver documents to Lu Jing. Just as the assistant wanted to say something, Zhang Lingying pulled out his business card from her bag and shoved it into his hand, "Your President Lu looks fit and well enough to eat, drink, and curse people. I don’t need this anymore, returning it to you."
After saying that, she left without looking back.
Leaving the assistant dumbfounded, he lifted his gaze only to see his boss’s face turned ashen.
Assistant: "..."
It was supposed to be a clearing of clouds, why is there suddenly a storm again?
Before the assistant could figure out what was happening, Lu Jing suddenly collapsed straight down from the sofa.
"President Lu——"
