Chapter 157
President’s Office.
Jerad looked at the two people standing in front of the table, his eyes were heavy and couldn’t see what he was thinking at the moment.
Long slender fingers rhythmically and gently knocked on the desktop, for a long time, he slowly opened his mouth: “Deputy Manager Lu, do you have anything you want to say?”
“Mr. Shen, things are not what Manager Lai said.”
Looking at the handsome man in front of her, Henry Lu couldn’t care about the nymphomaniac and eagerly explained.
“Oh?” Shen Murphy raised his eyebrows, “How was that?”
“Yes” Henry Lu looked at Li Na beside her, lowered her eyelids to hide the coldness under her eyes, and said here and there: “I was the one who accidentally tripped over Assistant Manager Tang.”
“Accidentally?” Jerad sneered lightly, his appearance instantly sinking cold, “Do you think I’ll believe you?”
“Shen, no,”
Henry Lu still wanted to explain, when Jerad raised his hand to stop her from continuing, and turned to Li Na who was on the side and said: “Find someone in the media department to hand over her work, and then have the HR department settle her salary clearly.”
“Yes.” Lina responded respectfully.
“Wait a minute!” As soon as she heard that she was about to be fired, Henry Lu was anxious, “Shen, listen to my explanation, things really aren’t like that, I really just did it by accident.”
Jerad lightly lifted his eyelids, his cold gaze fell on her, the corner of his l!ps opened with a hint of mockery, “Henry Lu, if you dare to do it, you should dare to admit it. In that case, I’ll think you’re an honest person and perhaps give you another chance.”
Lina frowned at his words and looked at him disapprovingly, “Mr. Shen, Henry Lu deliberately hurt her colleagues, such an employee Golden Frame can’t take.”
Henry Lu’s eyes flashed with a hint of ruthlessness, is this Li Na intentionally trying to have a hard time with her?
“Mr. Shen, yes, I did the thing, but it was a confused thing I did because I was angry, I in no way meant to hurt Assistant Manager Tang.”
Because Jerad had already opened her mouth and said that if she admitted that she had done the thing, then she could be given a chance.
Those who know what’s good for them are good! She didn’t want to lose this job.
When Jerad heard her admit it, the corners of her l!ps curled up with a meaningful smile, “Since you admit it, I’ll give you a chance.”
Henry Lu looked happy, while Li Na was anxious, “Shen, you,”
Before he could finish his sentence, he was stopped by Jerad raising his hand, then heard him say: “Manager Lai, choose someone in the Media Department to take over Henry Lu’s deputy manager position.”
Henry Lu’s newly revealed joy instantly froze.
Jerad then said: “As for Henry Lu, she will just be an ordinary entertainment reporter from today onwards.”
Although Li Na didn’t understand that Mr. Shen wanted to keep Henry Lu, but it was quite pleasing to unload Henry Lu’s position.
“General Manager Shen, Anya Song from the media department has been in the company for a few years, her work is careful and rigorous, and she’s kind, I think she can handle the position of assistant manager.”
Li Na’s words did not conceal her fondness for Anya Song.
As the saying goes, things come in groups, and people come in groups, Ruona was so smart and excellent, so her friends were definitely not bad either.
That girl? Jerad raised his eyebrows, then nodded, “Manager Lai can just make the decision.”
“Mr. Shen, I disagree.”
The position was removed, and being a reporter again, Henry Lu was not happy.
She wasn’t the assistant manager anymore, Ruona was one level above her, and would absolutely crush her to death in the future.
Making her inferior to Ruona, she might as well be fired.
“This is a punishment for the mistake you made.” Jerad said in a deep voice.
“But.”
Henry Lu was about to say something else when Li Na interrupted her, “Little Lu, Shen has given you the chance, if you don’t want to cherish it, then leave Golden Frame.”
Looking at the serious and cold Li Na, Henry’s eyes surged with hidden anger.
Leave Golden Frame? Henry Lu sneered in her heart, Li Na and Ruona definitely wanted her to leave Golden Frame, she mustn’t let them have their wish.
So, she took a deep breath, pressed down the reluctance and indignation in her heart, tried to squeeze out a smile and said with a low eyebrow, “Thank you Shen, I will cherish this opportunity.”
“That’s good.” Jerad smiled in satisfaction, then let them go back to work.
As soon as they left, Jerad quickly took out his phone and dialed his sister-in-law’s number.
“Hello.”
The phone picked up and a cold voice came over.
It wasn’t sister-in-law!
Jerad was stunned, “You’re a girl?”
“The beginning is resting, what’s the matter?”
It was still a cold voice without a trace of warmth.
“Are you still angry, girl?”
Jerad’s voice has a hidden laughter.
That side fell into silence, Jerad thought it was hung up, busy taking down the phone to look, still in the call.
The phone was put back to his ear, and he gently called, “Girl?”
“Cousin Murphy, who are you calling girl?”
The voice on the other side of the phone changed abruptly, scaring Shen Murphy so much that he almost dropped the phone.
“You didn’t even squeak first when you changed, you really aren’t a good girl.” He muttered.
Ruona didn’t hear clearly, “Cousin Murphy, what are you saying? What good girl?”
“No, it’s nothing.” Jerad raised his hand to wipe the sweat that wasn’t even there, then quickly changed the topic, “Sister-in-law, how are you doing?”
“It just burned.”
“Is it serious?”
“It’s a mild burn, a few days of rubbing will heal.”
“Will it leave a scar?”
“The doctor said it won’t.”
Hearing that it wouldn’t leave a scar Jerad breathed a sigh of relief, “Fine fine.”
“Why do I feel like you’re nervous?”
“Oh. I’m not afraid that brother will come after me.”
Jerad laughed dryly.
The skin was already taut from having his sister-in-law subjected to such danger in the company. If he left scars or something else, he felt afraid that he would be skinned.
Judging from the degree to which brother was nervous about his sister-in-law, it was definitely possible to be skinned.
Ruona laughed lowly, “Don’t be afraid, sister-in-law will protect you.”
“Sister-in-law,” Jerad was very touched.
“Be good.” Ruona’s voice was very relaxed and happy, then the conversation changed, “How do you deal with Henry Lu?”
Once we got down to business, Jerad straightened his appearance and told her all about Henry Lu’s situation.
“Good thing you didn’t fire her.”
Hearing that she sounded a bit celebratory, Jerad knew that he had done the right thing and quickly took credit: “Sister-in-law, I thought a lot for you before I didn’t fire Henry.”
“Oh? Tell me about it.”
Now Jerad was even more energetic, “Sister-in-law, this firing of Henry Lu is a matter of minutes as long as I ask. But it’s not fair to sister-in-law.”
“How is it unfair?”
“Sister-in-law, think about it, firing her is actually the cheapest way for her, the worst thing she can do if she leaves Golden Frame is to find another company and still make a good living. So it would be better to keep her at Golden Frame and remove her position, that would be enough for sister-in-law to play for a while.”
“Well, that makes sense.”
What he was thinking wasn’t really much different from what she was thinking, she also felt that firing Henry was too cheap for her, how could a person with such a deep and calculating mind not be taken lightly?
“Sister-in-law, you take a few days off and then come back to work. I’ll help you straighten Henry Lu out.”
“Then it’s all yours.”
“You’re welcome, you’re welcome.”
“Then do you still need to talk to the girl?”
“Bang!”
Something fell, and Jerad accidentally swept the book that was on the table onto the floor.
“Clang!” The first thing you need to do is to take a look at the newest version of this article.
Ruona left her l!ps, a wisp of meaningful smile spread out on her l!ps.
Chapter 158
Putting the water on the table, Anya Song walked over to Ruona as she rubbed her banged forehead.
“What did Shen say?” Anya Song asked.
Ruona turned her head to look at her, a hint of amusement floating in her eyes, “Anya, are you that concerned about what Murphy said?”
“Huh?” Anya Song looked at her funny, “Why do I care about him? I’m concerned about you and wanted to ask Shen how he handled Henry Lu.”
“Yes?” The tip of her eyebrows raised, Ruona smiled and didn’t embarrass her, directly changing her words, “Removed Henry Lu’s assistant manager position.”
Seeing that she didn’t pursue the matter about Jerad, Anya Song was secretly relieved, and then heard that Henry Lu was removed from her position, and her whole person was instantly excited.
“Really? Did you really dismiss Henry Lu?”
“Of course it’s true E” Seeing how excited she was, Ruona couldn’t help but shake his head helplessly.
“Now, let’s see how she’s still arrogant!”
As long as she thought about the fact that Henry had never missed bullying Chunchu because she was the assistant manager, Anya Song was furious.
However, it was finally relieved now.
“I still have good news for you.”
“What good news?”
Anya Song looked at Ruona in wonder.
“Removed Henry Lu’s assistant manager’s position, and you took over the position instead.”
Anya Song was dumbfounded and didn’t return to her senses for a long time.
Ruona frowned and raised his hand in front of her eyes, “Anya, are you so happy that you’re stupid?”
Suddenly, “Ah!” Anya Song erupted into a scream, she grabbed Ruona’s hand in excitement, “Ruona, I actually became an assistant manager, it’s incredible!”
The corner of the eye slightly drawn, Ruona took his hand out of her hand, didn’t have a good look at her, “Look at your point of birth, just an assistant manager is so excited, later if you become the general manager that must not be crazy.”
“You don’t understand, Chunchu. I’ve always thought I’d only be a reporter for the rest of my life, never dared to dream of being an assistant manager, manager or whatever. Because I think such a good thing won’t be my turn.”
Anya Song kept giggling, but the words that came out made Ruona feel a little sad.
“Fool, you’re so good, it’s gold that will always shine.” Ruona touched her head sadly.
Anya Song smiled at her with a silly smile, “Yes, it’s gold that always shines.”
Ruona smiled gently and didn’t say anything else.
Over here, as soon as Jerad hung up his sister-in-law’s phone, he immediately dialed his cousin again.
“Say.”
Very sharp and concise words, very much in line with his cousin’s temperament.
“Brother, I have something to tell you.” Jerad’s voice had a hint of caution in it.
There was silence over there, not a trace of sound, invariably somewhat depressing and creepy.
Jerad swallowed his saliva before slowly speaking, “Brother, something happened to sister-in-law today.”
“Well?” The monosyllabic voice was silky cold.
Jerad’s back was cold, and suddenly, he had the idea of wanting to just put down the phone.
But then he thought that if he didn’t take the initiative to tell him now, the consequences would definitely be very, very miserable.
Stretching out his head was a knife anyway, so it would be better to be quicker.
So, he clenched his teeth and told the man on the other side of the phone the whole story without a trace of ambiguity.
Another silence, Jerad bitter a handsome face, this is absolutely inescapable himself.
For a long time, a low, icy cold sounded.
“There’s a project in South Africa.”
Before he finished speaking, Jerad immediately picked up, “Brother, it’s not suitable for you to go to such a faraway place, you’d better accompany your sister-in-law more, I’ll go for you.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Jerad suddenly wanted to cry.
“Mm. Remember to write a report for me when you come back.”
And write a report? Jerad now not only wanted to cry but also wanted to die.
Why did he have to be crushed to death by his cousin? Why? Aren’t you supposed to love your brother?
Just as Jerad was howling, a light word came from the phone over there.
“I’ll take care of Grandpa’s side for you.”
Alright. Jerad sighed, his grandfather would only listen to his cousin, so he could only rely on his cousin to step in and help him out with some things.
That’s why he had always admired and feared his cousin.
As soon as he learned that she had been burned, Ethan Lu threw away the work at hand and hurried home.
Pushing open the bedroom door, he immediately saw the figure lying on the bed.
When you go to the bedside, lower your head, your gaze falls on her serene face, her dark pupils rippling with a shallow stream of light.
Down the line of sight, the collar of her nightgown was a little low, so he saw the redness of her chest.
Heart gripped hard, sword brows furrowed, eyes filled with distress. He reached out to touch it, but when he was almost there, his fingers slowly curled up.
He was afraid of hurting her.
Ruona, who was sleeping in a daze, vaguely felt that someone was watching her.
But this was her own home, how could someone be watching her?
After struggling for a while, she opened her eyes slowly, and a familiar voice fell into her eyes.
“Ethan.” Without thinking about who it was at all, she just shouted out.
Hearing her voice, Ethan Lu withdrew his gaze on her chest and looked at her, slightly absently: “Well, it’s me.”
“Why did you come back?”
Shouldn’t he be at work?
Ruona sat up, and Ethan Lu took a pillow and cushioned it behind her.
With his eyes sweeping over the wound on her chest, he said lightly, “Coming back to see you.”
Noticing his gaze, she raised her eyebrows, “Murphy told you.”
He didn’t reply, but the heartache in his eyes was clearly visible.
Ruona waned and smiled, “It’s just a slight burn, no big deal. You don’t need to be nervous.”
“It’s all red like this, it’s just a minor burn?” Ethan Lu frowned tightly, “I’ll take you to the other doctor.”
He said, he was about to hug her up.
“It’s fine.” Ruona raised her hand to his chest and smiled helplessly, “It’s really fine, it’s just a slight burn, and I feel better after rubbing the medicine.”
Seeing that he still didn’t believe, Ruona sighed softly, then held his hand and looked up straight into his dark eyes, deflated his mouth in aggravation, “I want to eat the porridge you made.”
Ethan Lu gazed deeply at her, knowing that she was deliberately turning away attention because she didn’t want him to be too worried and nervous.
He squeezed her hand and then released it, “What kind of porridge do you want to eat?”
Ruona smiled expansively, “Seafood porridge.”
“Wait.” Spoiling her hair, he turned around and walked out of the room.
Looking at his figure disappearing in the doorway, Ruona let out a sigh of relief, then a sweet and happy smile spread across her l!ps.
He was throwing away his work and coming back to see her, so it was evident how nervous he was. But she didn’t want his work to be affected because of herself.
Biting her lip, she made a decision.
She would talk to him at dinner later.
Chapter 159
When a man is willing to cook for you, it means he really loves you.
Ruona stands quietly in the dining room, his eyes fell on the tall figure busy in the kitchen, beautiful pupils filled with emotion and tenderness.
See him scoop up the soup with a spoon to taste salty, followed by the cut vegetables into the pot, the action is sharp and clean.
The very ordinary action is so charming in her eyes at the moment that she can’t take her eyes off it.
Xu noticed her gaze, he suddenly turned his head, she was caught right in the middle, too late to withdraw the fascination in his eyes.
The two people quietly stared at each other, for a long time, his l!ps held a seeming smile, his deep black eyes rippled with shallow soft light, “Hungry there is milk in the fridge, drink some to fill your stomach first.”
“Mm.” Ruona nodded her head nicely.
Taking a bottle of milk from the fridge, Ruona sat down at the dining table and stared at the busy figure in the kitchen while drinking the milk.
The aroma of porridge in the air was particularly enticing.
Ruona couldn’t wait any longer.
Putting the milk on the table, she got up and walked into the kitchen, hearing the movement Ethan Lu turned his head and softly asked, “Are you very hungry?”
Ruona nodded, “Well, you cooked it too well, so I got hungry.”
Ethan Lu laughed lowly, then turned around and took out a bowl from the cupboard.
“I’ll serve some to you first to taste.”
Hearing that it was ready to be eaten, Ruona nodded busily, “Yes, yes ee.”
Ethan Lu’s eyes were filled with spoiling as he watched her look gluttonous and adorable.
In her expectant eyes, he served half a bowl of porridge and helped her bring it to the dining room.
Ruona pulled out a chair and sat down, picking up a spoon to start eating.
“Be careful it’s hot.” He instructed in a warm voice.
Smiling sweetly at him, “I know.”
She then scooped up the porridge, blew on it, and then brought it into her mouth.
The aroma instantly filled her entire mouth and she squinted in satisfaction, giving him a thumbs up, “It tastes amazing.”
A faint smile rippled across his l!ps, and he said, “I’m glad you like it.”
“Love it, love it.” She said, as if to prove that she really liked it, and scooped up a large spoonful and brought it to her mouth.
Forgetting to blow it cold, it suddenly burned her and she yelped.
“Eat slowly.”
Ethan Lu frowned and scolded softly.
Ruona smiled apologetically, and next, she ate very slowly for fear of getting burned again.
Bringing the entire pot of porridge to the restaurant, Ethan Lu also served himself a bowl, then sat across from her, bowing his head and eating slowly and methodically.
Ruona raised her eyes to quietly measure him, sighing in her heart, his innate dickey looks elegant in every move he makes, just looking at him is a pleasure.
Ethan Lu’s eyelids lightly lifted, seeing her staring at him, the corners of his l!ps couldn’t help but curl.
He put down the spoon in his hand and raised his head, his eyes gazing deeply at her across the room, “This is already the second time you’re staring at me.”
Upon hearing his deep and nice voice, Ruona immediately returned to her senses and looked straight into his black eyes that were overflowing with a light smile.
Immediately afterwards, she reacted to what he said, her ears could not help but heat up, and she had a guilty feeling of being recognized.
“It’s not that you’re too good-looking.”
She muttered.
“Huh?” He wasn’t listening.
Not wanting him to know she was flirting with him, she changed the subject and said, “Your porridge is delicious.”
“I know.” He absently.
Ruona:”
There was really no hint of modesty.
“That Ethan “Ruona ate the porridge, hesitantly not knowing how to speak.
“What’s wrong?” Looking at her difficult and hesitant look, Ethan Lu’s eyebrows slightly knitted.
“That is,” pursing her l!ps, Ruona pondered for a moment, then continued, “Ethan, I don’t want you to leave your job behind for me.”
Upon hearing that, Ethan Lu raised his eyebrows, “I didn’t leave my job behind.”
“Where haven’t you? Now at this time normally you should be in the company, but today you are here to cook me porridge and eat with me.”
Looking at her disapproving expression, Ethan Lu laughed lowly, then said, “Chunchu, I’m the top decision maker of the company, but that doesn’t mean I have to handle everything, if that’s the case, then what am I hiring these assistants from Leo and the others for.”
“That’s right.” Ruona didn’t know how to refute him, so she could only sigh softly and didn’t say anything else.
“Chunchu.” He called out softly.
Ruona raised her eyes into his deep black eyes, only to see him smile slightly, “No need to feel guilty. It’s only natural that I would leave anything behind for you. Because you’re my wife, the one I love.”
Because you’re my wife, the one I love.
Eyes growing moist, Ruona bit her lip lightly, her heart deeply shaken by his words.
She must have done super, super good things in her last life and accumulated super good fortune, so she could only meet him in this life.
$ucking in her nose, Ruona curled her l!ps, her shining pupils gleaming, “Ethan, I’m very happy and blissful.”
How could one not be happy and blissful after getting a husband like this?
The dismissed Henry Lu was all sorts of unhappy when she thought of her future position being lower than Ruona.
She must not let Ruona get her way.
So, she approached her good daughter, Nesa Gu, and wanted her to help her.
“Are you saying that Ruona designed to frame you and caused you to be removed from your position by the president?”
Nesa Gu listened to Henry Lu’s narrative and remained silent for a while before asking.
“Mm. Nesa, you don’t even know how proud Ruona is in the company right now, and the rumor is that she is the lover of General Manager Shen.”
At the mention of this, Henry Lu didn’t hide her jealousy and bit her teeth in hatred.
What’s so good about Ruona, how come Shen would be interested in her and not herself?
“A lover?” Nesa Gu sneered, “This Ruona is really underestimating her, she was able to hook up with a man like Jerad.”
Originally the Ji family and her were very considerate of Jerad and the Shen family, but now it was good that Ruona was his lover and might be instigated by Ruona to deal with the Ji family.
Feeling faintly uneasy in her heart, Nesa Gu felt that she had to tell Groven and Su Tianai about the matter and see how they wanted to deal with Ruona.
Henry Lu saw that she didn’t know what she was thinking about and frowned slightly, “Nesa, what are you thinking about? Thinking so hard.”
“It’s nothing.” Nesa Gu shook her head, “I’ll talk to Cousin Groven about you, and we’ll see how she’ll help you then.”
“Thank you so much, Nesa.” Henry Lu couldn’t help but rejoice once she heard that General Manager Su would help her.
This way she wouldn’t be afraid of low Ruona, etc.
“No need to be so formal. After all, I still need you to help me deal with Ruona in Golden Frame.”
The two women looked at each other and smiled, feeling that the relationship was good, but in fact it was just using each other.
