Chapter 039: He threatened me

"What?" Qi Chuyan was stunned.

"You'll be injured at work and promoted," Lu Wenzhong murmured.

After Qi Chuyan put down her phone, she hit her head into her makeup mirror and smiled.

She took back everything at the price of disfigurement. Su Mianmian had nothing to fight back with now.

When Lu Xiangdong came to the company to handle the leave request, he also came to visit Su Mianmian.

He knew that Su Mianmian was flying in the afternoon, so she was probably eating at a restaurant nearby.

"Captain Lu, you still need the deputy general manager's stamp and signature for this leave request," the personnel department said to him.

It was Lu Xiangdong's first time asking for leave, so he was not clear about the procedure. He took the leave request. "Okay."

He stood in front of the deputy general manager's office and knocked on the door. It was Qi Chuyan who greeted him. He was stunned!

"Why are you here?"

Qi Chuyan raised her hand and touched her forehead, letting him in. It was best to not talk outside her door.

Lu Xiangdong noticed that her forehead was injured. "What happened to your forehead?"

"I was beaten up by Uncle Lu's men. The incident made Uncle Lu very angry," she cried with red eyes, "Uncle Lu said that if I didn't do what he asked, I wouldn't be able to live past tomorrow. That's why I was forced to take this position. Lu Xiangdong, you know me. I'm not the kind of person who wants wealth."

Lu Xiangdong finally understood the whole story. He had been responsible for this, in the end. If Qi Chuyan hadn't stood up for him, he wouldn't have found Su Mianmian so easily. Just as she said, if she didn't do what Lu Wenzhong asked her to do, he would do something bad to her.

He sighed and handed her the leave slip. "I don't want to get involved in the matter between you and him. You have your choice."

Qi Chuyan grabbed his hand and shook her head. "Do you hate me because I became the deputy general manager?"

"No." This had nothing to do with him, he withdrew his hand and let her stamp the leave slip.

Qi Chuyan stamped it for him, wiped her tears, and said with a smile, "Lu Xiangdong, how about we get lunch together?"

He was in a hurry to find Su Mianmian and didn't want to have lunch with her, but since she had helped him before, he reluctantly agreed.

The place Qi Chuyan brought him to wasn't a high-class restaurant, but a small restaurant near the company. When he entered, Lu Xiangdong caught a glimpse of Su Mianmian. She was sitting near the door with her colleague beside her. Su Mianmian was eating with her head lowered, and she was oblivious that he was standing behind her.

Tang Wenyun and Xu Mengting, on the other hand, almost choked on their food upon seeing them. They put down their chopsticks and called out nervously, "Deputy general manager, Captain Lu..."

For the first time ever, Qi Chuyan responded to them with a smile. "You guys are eating here too? Continue eating! Captain Lu and I will go to the next table. We won't disturb your meal."

The spoon in Su Mianmian's hand froze. Why did the words 'Captain Lu and I' sound so jarring? She slammed her spoon on the table and turned around to look at them. She narrowed her eyes and met Lu Xiangdong's unapologetic gaze. She felt a small flame grow inside her
