Lu Xining subconsciously held his breath, while Jin Shaoheng looked at her pink lips and really wanted to kiss her like this.
"Xining?"
Lin Zhiyi's voice came from her mobile phone, suddenly breaking the ambiguous atmosphere.
Only then did Lu Xining remember that the number he had just dialed had not yet been dialed, and he hurriedly tried to get up, but unexpectedly bumped into Jin Shaoheng again.
"Well..." He groaned.
"Are you okay?" Lu Xining raised his eyes nervously and saw a bruise on his fair lower jaw.
"It's okay." He held the hand she subconsciously extended.
The warm touch of their palms touched each other, and the two of them seemed to realize that something was wrong. Especially Lu Xining, who quickly pulled his hand back.
"Ahem..." Lin Zhiyi's light cough reminder came from the phone again.
Only then did Lu Xining remember the call. He stood up and shouted, "Zhiyi."
"What's going on over there?" Lin Zhiyi asked.
I was originally worried that she would be in danger, but it didn't sound like that was the case.
"Wrong call." Lu Xining whispered, but his attention was unconsciously behind him.
Although she didn't look back, she always felt as if Jin Shaoheng was staring at her.
"Then who are you with? I seem to hear a man's voice -" Lin Zhiyi asked again.
But before she could finish her words, Lu Xining hurriedly hung up the phone.
She was afraid that Lin Zhiyi would speak openly again and make the two of them even more embarrassed.
Turning his head, his eyes were indeed looking at him.
"Don't ask for help?" Jin Shaoheng asked.
"Didn't you say you could handle it?" Lu Xining said.
She originally thought it would be inconvenient for him to show up, but since he said it was okay, what was she worried about?
"Yeah." Jin Shaoheng responded in his ears.
The space suddenly became quiet, especially after no one spoke anymore, and there seemed to be an uncomfortable atmosphere flowing around. Fortunately, the hotel manager came over.
When he saw the condition of the box, he must pay compensation.
Jin Shaoheng made a call and someone would naturally handle it, so he took Lu Xining and left.
Lu Xining put on his coat but couldn't hide the smell of alcohol. After entering the door, he took a shower first.
When he came out, Jiang Cheng was gone. Only Jin Shaoheng was on the phone in the living room, vaguely hearing the two scumbags involved tonight.
It sounds like he wants to take action on their company, which is a bit like Tianliang King Po.
She had also seen Jin Shaoheng ordering other people to be dealt with, and he was decisive in killing, and his tone was exactly the same.
Jin Shaoheng hung up the phone and turned around to see her.
Seeing Lu Xining looking at him blankly, he asked, "Did I scare you?"
Lu Xining shook his head, quickly retracted his thoughts, and then went back to Jin Muxi's room.
Jin Shaoheng held her wrist and said, "I will introduce clients to you from now on, so no more socializing."
What this means is that he will protect her in the future.
"Mr. Jin?" Lu Xining looked at him in surprise.
Jin Shaoheng seemed to have just remembered that this move was indeed inappropriate in his current status, but the words had already been spoken and he had no intention of taking them back.
After all, it was impossible for him to see her like other women, hanging around among a group of men at the wine table.
"I actually don't have that many social activities. Today was an accident." Lu Xining explained.
"No one can guarantee that it won't happen again in the future." Thinking of that scene, Jin Shaoheng frowned.
"What's the point of working if I keep living under other people's wings?" Lu Xining asked rhetorically.
It's not that she's ungrateful, or that she wants to be strong. After all, when she first cooperated with Lin Zhiyi, part of her also took a fancy to the Lin family as a backer.
But everything has its limits, not to mention that the man in front of her was not her, so she couldn't feel at ease.
"It's true that my situation is small." Jin Shaoheng said.
"If Mr. Jin really wants to help me, I have a question that I would like to ask for advice." Lu Xining said.
"Oh?" He had refused so simply just now, but he was curious about what she wanted him to help her with.
Lu Xining sat down and told him openly about IKEA's recent business grabs.
This was a problem for her, but Jin Shaoheng didn't even move his brows and asked: "Do you want to be fair and aboveboard? Or do you want to treat others the same way you treat them?"
"Of course it's fair and aboveboard." Lu Xining didn't even want to answer.
"Then collect evidence and report him." After Jin Shaoheng finished speaking, he looked at her and added: "But this is very offensive."
He indeed knew Lu Xining very well, and she looked hesitant after hearing this.
"You can't defeat your opponent if you are soft-hearted. Competition has always been life-and-death. There are many open and covert attacks in the shopping mall. You are too naive." Jin Shaoheng pointed out.
Lu Xining knew in her heart that even though she had been the boss for two years, it was undeniable that she had been able to have such smooth sailing because of the Lin family's credit.
Lu Xining nodded, seeming to understand.
Jin Shaoheng suddenly wanted to touch her head, but when he reached halfway, he suddenly covered his chest, coughed twice, and his face looked a little ugly.
"Are you okay?" Lu Xining supported him nervously.
"It's okay, it's getting late, go to bed early." Jin Shaoheng pushed her hand away.
Lu Xining did not let go.
She could feel that his body seemed very weak and said, "I'll take you back to your room first."
"It's so late, aren't you afraid of what I might do to you?" Jin Shaoheng asked.
Lu Xining saw the amusement in his eyes and knew that he was deliberately "pushing away" her.
Men are all about saving face, and he may not want to see his vulnerable side. Moreover, the current relationship between the two is indeed inappropriate, and it is indeed inappropriate to go to his room, especially tonight, where he has become very inappropriate.
Thinking of this, Lu Xining let go of him and returned to Jin Muxi's room.
The house was empty and quiet, and a few more faint coughs could be heard.
She leaned against the door and waited for a while. When she heard Jin Shaoheng returning to the room, and there was no other sound, she went back to bed and fell asleep.
The next day, when Lu Xining got up, Jiang Cheng had already prepared breakfast.
It's just that Jin Shaoheng didn't show up during the meal.
Jin Muxi asked, and Jiang Cheng said he went out early in the morning.
He was mysterious to begin with, so Lu Xining didn't pay much attention to him.
When I was at work, I told Lin Zhiyi about the experience I learned from Jin Shaoheng. Unexpectedly, Lin Zhiyi said that his brother said the same thing.
However, the people behind the two have a tacit understanding. They just provide tips and let them do the specifics themselves. It seems that they intend to train them.
Jin Shaoheng still didn't show up.
"Mr. Jin, has he been busy recently?" Lu Xining couldn't help but ask Jiang Cheng.
This man always treated her coldly. He glanced at her when he heard this, and he thought she had killed her boss, but he didn't say anything.
"Mr. Jiang?" She didn't even know where his hostility towards her came from, but she still wanted an answer.
"The boss is hospitalized." After a long while, Jiang Cheng replied slowly.
