The atmosphere in the office was also not relaxed.
Nie Qingru came in and found a sofa to sit down. He took off the wide brim of his hat and placed it on the coffee table in front of him, revealing his arrogant face.
"How long has it been since we last met?"
After all, she was old, and there were heavy marks on the corners of her eyes and eyebrows. In addition, she had been troubled these days, and there were obvious blue and black marks under her eyes.
Nie Qingru was habitually strong. She sat on the sofa with her back straight, her sharp eyes cast on the man who was reading documents behind the desk.
"laugh."
She sneered, her eyes revealing mockery: "You are willing to work like a cow or a horse for her, but it's a pity that she doesn't think highly of you."
Lu Zhi paused holding the pen, and the tip of the pen drew a mark of varying depths on the white paper.
He raised his eyes, stretched his body and leaned back on the chair. A hint of sarcasm flashed across his extremely handsome face, and he replied indifferently: "In this regard, you are still my senior. Aren't you also willing to run to an illegal area for an irrelevant person?"
Nie Qingru's eyes immediately sank: "How dare you talk to me like that."
Lu Zhi has always had a kind face but a ruthless heart. He rarely makes enemies with anyone on the surface, let alone someone like Nie Qingru who has a complicated background and power.
But what Nie Qingru said this time crossed his bottom line.
He is not a fearful person either.
He immediately sat up, elegantly took out a wet tissue and wiped his slender fingers, lowered his head and eyes, and replied nonchalantly: "I don't care about your private affairs, and you'd better not ask about my private affairs."
He wiped the remaining ink on his hands one by one, threw the used wet tissues on the table, raised his head casually, confronted the people in the office again, and left a meaningful remark.
"After all... this is an illegal area!"
"… "
Nie Qingru's face looked unhappy, but she had to swallow her anger.
Lu Zhi's warning was clear. This was an illegal area, his territory, and a powerful dragon could not defeat a local snake. She was not afraid of Lu Zhi, but she did not want him to get completely involved in this matter, otherwise it would bring her a lot of trouble.
After Nie Qingru figured it out, her expression lightened up a little, and she said sarcastically, "I didn't expect you to be such a romantic."
We are all decent people.
Even if they don't get along with each other, they understand what it means to stop at the right time.
Nie Qingru shut up after finishing half of the sentence, and sat upright on the sofa like a Buddha, emitting a intimidating aura.
Lu Zhi didn't bother to argue about what she said. He fiddled with the pen on the desk, as if the pen had some magical power that attracted him, and didn't say anything.
Just as the first round of confrontation between the two men quieted down, there was a knock on the door.
"Mr. Lu, I'm here to serve coffee." It was the assistant's voice.
Lu Zhi raised his eyelids, glanced at the person sitting on the sofa, and said, "Come in."
The assistant pushed the door open carrying a tray, and mindful of Jane Jian's instructions, he kept his head down as he served the coffee without saying a word.
He first placed a cup in front of Nie Qingru: "Please enjoy it, sir."
After saying that, he immediately stood up and brought the remaining cup of coffee to Lu Zhi's desk.
The assistant knew that Lu Zhi had difficulty with his legs, so he naturally placed the cup of coffee where he could reach it: "Mr. Lu, your Blue Mountain does not have sugar."
The coffee in the cup emitted wisps of smoke. Lu Zhi's fingers touched the cup and he felt the warm touch of the coffee at his fingertips.
This temperature was a small detail that Jian Jin always paid attention to when she made coffee for him. The coldness in Lu Zhi's eyes dissipated a little, and he said gently to his assistant: "You go out first."
