my affection he doesn't deserve

Chapter 24 Did You Offend The Shen Family?
Regardless of Gu Beici's persuasion, Wen Ning insisted on going to Lu's Group.

Gu Beici was worried, and drove her to Lu's by himself.

At the gate of the Lu Corporation, Wen Ning met Li Xinhou and Qiao Mixia.

Li Xinhou saw Wen Ning, "Miss, where have you been? Uncle Li has been worried all day."

"I'm sorry, Uncle Li. I'm stuck with something." Wen Ning apologized.

Seeing that Wen Ning's expression was not looking good, Qiao Mixia didn't ask any more questions, "Go back and talk slowly if you have something to do, and settle the matter at hand first."

Today was Lu's bidding meeting, Qiao Mixia rushed to Lu's gate ahead of time, wanting to cheer Wen Ning up.

In the end, Wen Ning was nowhere to be seen, only Li Xinhou was walking around the scene anxiously with people and samples.

As a good friend, Qiao Mixia did not hesitate to replace Wen Ning to help Li Xinhou participate in the complete bidding meeting.

Qiao Mixia said to Wen Ning: "At the bidding meeting in the morning, people from Lu's eyes lit up after seeing the real samples. They expressed their liking for your design on the spot, and left me and Li alone after the bidding meeting. The manager discusses the details of the cooperation. Because you are not present, there is no on-site signing.”

"As a result, an hour ago, we received a call from the person in charge of the Lu Corporation. We lost the election. We changed our face as soon as we said it. There is no spirit of contract at all. I was about to take someone to ask for an explanation." Qiao Mixia said angrily.

After listening to the whole story, Wen Ning understood, it must have something to do with Shen Sihan.

Wen Ning was not reconciled to such a result, and led people into the Lu's building.

Seeing the person in charge of the project, Li Xinhou said with a smile on his face: "Manager Wang, didn't you say this morning that you want to cooperate with us in this joint project? Our general manager is here and we can sign the contract."

Manager Wang touched his nose in embarrassment, "I'm sorry, although your design is outstanding, but after detailed consideration, the company feels that your qualifications and strength are not enough."

These are all excuses, the real reason is that someone has spoken to prevent Lu from cooperating with her.

"Is your boss Lu in the company? I can show him our products face to face, and we can give him another 3% profit in terms of quotation." Wen Ning fought hard.

"Sorry, Mr. Lu is not in the company on a business trip."

If you don't sign a contract, you won't be reneging on your promises, and Wen Ning has no way to hold anyone accountable.After Manager Wang finished speaking, he made a gesture of please.

Helpless, Wen Ning could only leave with someone.

"You go out first, I'll go to the bathroom."

Qiao Mixia went to the restroom, and when she entered the elevator, she didn't press the 1st floor, but the 16th floor—the floor where Lu Chengjing's office is located.

Her first job after graduation was at Lu's, and she was familiar with the floor layout here.

When the elevator opened, Secretary Lin from the president's office saw him and asked in surprise, "Deputy Director Qiao?"

Qiao Mixia smiled, "I resigned last year. Xiao Lin, is President Lu in the office?"

"Here……"

Qiao Mixia was in a hurry, and before Secretary Lin could finish speaking, he had already pushed open the door of the president's office.

Behind the desk, Lu Chengjing was sitting on the boss's chair, with a woman beside him.

Big wavy curly hair, thin waist and upturned buttocks, white shirt with two buttons open, two plump fleshy balls, and a deep career line.

Qiao Mixia leaned against the door, and said in a teasing tone, "Mr. Lu, did you bother you to go on a 'business trip' on this big leather chair?"

Lu Chengjing looked up, and said to the woman next to him: "Director Ding, the materials are left, you go down first."

"Okay, Mr. Lu."

Director Ding straightened up, stepped on high heels and walked away twisting his waist. When passing by Qiao Mixia, she even gave her a special look.

Qiao Mixia closed the door, strode forward, and supported the desk with her hands, "Why did you backtrack? Manrou won today, and Wen Ning's design is definitely top-notch."

Qiao Mixia's anger exceeded Lu Chengjing's expectations, "Why are you so angry? That Wen Ning is so important to you?"

"I'm not only angry because Wen Ning is my good friend, I'm angry because the Lu family is dishonest, despises fairness, and maliciously suppresses the weak!" Qiao Mixia said angrily.

"If Lu's is so unbearable, why did you put aside other companies and not go to Lu's?" Lu Chengjing asked back.

Qiao Mixia was at a loss for words for a while, and calmed down a bit, "Then tell me, what is the reason for today's incident?"

Lu Chengjing didn't want to take the blame either, he didn't hide anything, "Go back and ask your friend if she offended someone in the Shen family."

Qiao Mixia was taken aback for a moment, but she wanted to ask again when the phone rang, and Wen Ning called to urge her.

Qiao Mixia picked up the phone, turned and left Lu Chengjing's office.

……

Qiao Mixia rushed downstairs to meet Wen Ning, and the whole group was overwhelmed with sorrow, especially Wen Ning.In the scorching sun, she was so tottering that she could barely stand.

In the past few days, she has carefully understood Manrou's accounts. Whether it is tight or not is a serious problem. Manrou is still carrying a pile of debts. If those old suppliers don't show kindness to ask for debts, Manrou will go bankrupt soon .

Without Lu's big client, Manrou's future is very slim.

Gu Beici said to Wen Ning: "Don't think about work yet, Xiao Ning, you need a good rest, you'd better live with me."

Wen Ning didn't want to hold back, so she postponed, "No, I can live in the company."

Gu Beicheng was still worried, "You need someone to take care of you in this state."

Qiao Mixia said: "Lemon, you really look weak, don't be brave, what happened today is not your fault, don't blame yourself. Doctor Gu, let Lemon go to live with me, don't worry."

Just like that, Wen Ning moved into Qiao Mixia's small apartment.

Wen Ning slumped on the sofa with her eyes closed, as if she was about to collapse.

Qiao Mixia poured her a glass of water, "What's the matter? Where did the lively Ning Jie go?"

Wen Ning didn't even open her eyes, and said weakly, "Xia Xia, I feel so tired."

Qiao Mixia sat down beside her, considered her tone, and asked, "Lemon, do you know someone from the Shen family?"

Wen Ning opened her eyes and looked at Qiao Mixia.

Qiao Mixia said what Lu Chengjing had said.

"Lemon, have you really gone to study abroad these years? Tell the truth, did the Xie family lock you up?"

Qiao Mixia expressed the doubts that had been hidden in her heart for a long time.

As best friends for three years in high school, even though they went to different universities after the college entrance examination, the two still maintained a close relationship.

Wen Ning suddenly lost contact five years ago, and Qiao Mixia looked for her everywhere. If she was going to study abroad, how could there be no clue at all.

Besides, at that time, Wen Ning's mother was still sick and hospitalized, how could Wen Ning let go of her mother and go to study alone without coming back to see her for the last time?

Qiao Mixia couldn't figure it out, there was only one possibility: Wen Ning couldn't come back, she was trapped.

"Xia Xia," Wen Ning held Qiao Mixia's hand, tears streaming down her face.

"I am pregnant……"
