“I’ll let Brother Qi know.”
He Xiang excitedly took out her phone on the spot and called Qi Cheng.
As a netizen who loved gossips in the industry, there was nothing more exciting than savoring the most trending, authentic and latest gossip on the front line.
He Xiang put Qi Cheng on speaker.
Qi Cheng’s voice came from the phone.
“Both of you stay at home for a while. I have to go out for a while. I’ll be back in about an hour or so. After that, I’ll accompany both of you to Lu Corporation.”
He Xiang did not say anything. Instead, she looked up at Lin Shanchu and asked for her opinion.
Lin Shanchu said loudly, “Brother Qi, go get busy if you have something to attend to. You don’t have to come personally. Just arrange a few bodyguards for me.”
She was now in poor health and her temper turned worse. If she had a conflict with Lu Shiyuan, she would not be able to win.
Qi Cheng replied, “Alright.”
Qi Cheng had strong execution ability.
He quickly arranged bodyguards for Lin Shanchu.
He Xiang opened the door and saw a row of tall and mighty bodyguards standing neatly outside. She couldn’t help but exclaim. The bodyguards were very polite and said in unison, “Nice to meet you.” “Nice to meet you all.” He Xiang waved at them in a daze.
The bodyguards were all tall and mighty. When they stood in a row in an orderly manner, there was a little strong sense of oppression.
He Xiang dared not go out. She turned around and called Lin Shanchu, “Sister Lin!”
“I’m coming.” Lin Shanchu was putting a vitamin bottle containing painkillers into her bag.
He Xiang was very pleased that Lin Shanchu was finally willing to eat dietary supplements.
Lin Shanchu walked to the door with her bag.
The bodyguards bowed in unison and shouted loudly, “Nice to meet you,
Sister-in-law!”
It was Lin Shanchu’s first time seeing such a scene.
She turned her head and winked at He Xiang, trying to ask her what was going on.
He Xiang shook her head dumbfoundedly.
“Why do you guys call me Sister-in-law?” Qi Cheng had always been reliable in work. Which part of the process went wrong? The leading bodyguard said, “Brother Li’s sister-in-law is our sister-in-law!”
Lin Shanchu asked, “…Who is Brother Li?”
Lin Shanchu and Li MO did not interact much, but she could tell that Li MO was quite skilled, as if he had been in the underworld before.
Judging from the current situation, it seemed that Li MO had been doing pretty well in the underworld.
Otherwise, he would not have so many underlings.
However, did Li MO often tell others in private that she was his sister-in-law?
Lin Shanchu thought about it seriously. If she denied it directly, Li MO would probably lose face in front of these underlings.
Hence, she said very tactfully, “I’m a public figure after all. If you call me sister-in-law outside, it will cause a misunderstanding.”
The bodyguards spoke in unison and shouted, “Miss Lin!”
Lin Shanchu said, “…You may lower your voices when you speak.”
A bodyguard immediately lowered his voice and answered, “Alright. Miss Lin, would you like to leave now?”
Lin Shanchu nodded, grabbed He Xiang’s arm and walked outside.
On the way to Lu Corporation, someone called Lin Shanchu.
Looking at the familiar number, Lin Shanchu thought for a while. Only then did she remember the owner of this number.
She did not pick up the phone. Instead, she hung up directly.
The person on the other end of the phone did not give up and called again soon.
Lin Shanchu still hung up the phone this time.
However, she did not give this person a third chance to call her.
She immediately blocked this number.
He Xiang’s eyes were filled with curiosity as she watched Lin Shanchu’s actions.
“Anyway, we’re going to meet soon, so let’s not waste time answering the phone.” After sending Wen Huan a WeChat message, Lin Shanchu tossed her phone aside.
The car stopped at the entrance of Lu Corporation.
He Xiang followed Lin Shanchu’s line of sight and looked out the window. “Isn’t that Qiao Jiaxi?”
Lin Shanchu casually unbuckled the seatbelt and said, “It’s her.”
Qiao Jiaxi was the one who had called her just now.
“President Lin, you’re here.” When Qiao Jiaxi saw Lin Shanchu, she came up to her with a warm expression.
He Xiang pursed her lips. When Lin Shanchu came to Lu Corporation last time, she had a private chat with Qiao Jiaxi. Obviously, they did not have a pleasant chat. After that, Qiao Jiaxi left angrily.
Now, she was trying to curry favor with Lin Shanchu.
How shameless.
Before Qiao Jiaxi could touch Lin Shanchu, He Xiang stopped her.
“Miss Qiao, do you have business with her?”
Qiao Jiaxi bypassed He Xiang and walked up to Lin Shanchu. Then, she lowered her voice and asked, “Are you here for Xia Jinmeng’s matter?”
With Tang Qidai in jail, Qiao Jiaxi thought that her chance had come.
During this period of time, she had racked her brains, but it was difficult for her to meet Lu Shiyuan, let alone make him fall in love with her.
Moreover, Lu Shiyuan did not like her very much. He had even lost his temper the last time.
She had originally planned to be quiet for a while and wait for Lu Shiyuan’s anger to subside before thinking of a solution. However, she did not expect that what awaited her was the news that Lu Shiyuan had signed Xia Jinmeng.
Xia Jinmeng was neither an popular idol nor a big shot like Huo Chaosheng. It was not worth Lu Shiyuan personally offering an olive branch to her.
Based on a woman’s intuition, Qiao Jiaxi felt that Lu Shiyuan might have taken a fancy to Xia Jinmeng.
“Yeah,” Lin Shanchu chuckled.
Qiao Jiaxi pretended to be concerned about her. “President Lu signed Xia Jinmeng with such great commotion. Aren’t you afraid that Xia Jinmeng will snatch your position?”
Qiao Jiaxi was shorter than Lin Shanchu, so Lin Shanchu needed to bend slightly to meet her eyes.
Lin Shanchu stared at Qiao Jiaxi, “Make it clear. Are you worried that she will snatch my position or that she will snatch yours?”
Qiao Jiaxi panicked as she said, “I… Anyway, you signed me into Lu Corporation, so you are considered my benefactor. I won’t snatch your position no matter what happens. However, that b*tch Xia Jinmeng is different…”
Lin Shanchu raised an eyebrow. “If I remember correctly, you and Xia Jinmeng are childhood friends, right?”
“Didn’t that b*tch pick on you back in the training camp?” Qiao Jiaxi said disdainfully, “Who would want to be childhood friends with such a b*tch?”
“I see.” Lin Shanchu slowly straightened up and looked at Xia Jinmeng who was standing behind Qiao Jiaxi. “Did you hear that? Your childhood friend scolded you for being a b*tch.”
Qiao Jiaxi raised her head with a puzzled expression and saw Xia Jinmeng, who had appeared behind her at some point, staring at her with a cold expression.
“What are you staring at?” Qiao Jiaxi snorted coldly, “I’m scolding you! B*tch!”
Xia Jinmeng looked furious, but she ignored Qiao Jiaxi and turned to Lin
Shanchu. “President Lin.”
Her tone was neither servile nor overbearing, making her appear calm and generous.
Qiao Jiaxi, who had been deliberately ignored by Xia Jinmeng, was unhappy.
“Xia Jinmeng! Drop the pretense!”
Xia Jinmeng’s face was full of disdain as she shot Qiao Jiaxi a cold glance.
Qiao Jiaxi was completely enraged by this look. She raised her hand and slapped Xia Jinmeng’s face.
Xia Jinmeng did not dodge the slap.. Qiao Jiaxi felt that it was strange, but still she said smugly, “At least you know your place!”
