Chapter 130

Zhao Yan: ...

Wang Peng: ...

"Mr. Lu, you really are..." Yu Yan narrowed his eyes and laughed coldly, "Very confident."

Just then, Ren Zongshun, who had just entered the conference room, suddenly slapped his forehead loudly enough for everyone in the room to hear, "Oh no, I was so focused on looking at the roses Li Zhen's suitor sent her that I forgot to bring the printed materials. I'll have to go back and get them."

Zhao Yan was stunned for a moment.

Someone sent Li Zhen roses?

Could it be another tactic by President Yu to woo his ex-wife?

Zhao Yan wasn't the only one thinking this, Wang Peng's eyes lit up as he gossiped, "President Yu really knows what he's doing. Sending roses is the right move, very romantic..."

Before Wang Peng could finish speaking, both Yu Sheng and Lu Yanming frowned and uttered a cold "Tacky" in unison.

Zhao Yan: ...

Wang Peng: ...

Zhao Yan and Wang Peng immediately realized the roses were not from Yu Sheng.

The meeting began.

Ren Zongshun snuck in from the back door carrying the materials, but saw Yu Sheng wave him over from not too far away.

Ren Zongshun was puzzled.

Creeping over, he sat down next to Yu Sheng.

The manager of the advertising department was giving a presentation up front while everyone listened attentively.

Yu Sheng's voice was cold and indifferent. He lowered his voice and asked, "Manager Ren, what's this about Li Zhen receiving roses?"

Lu Yanming glanced over at the two of them.

"President Yu, Li Zhen didn't accept them, someone just insisted on sending them." Ren Zongshun quickly explained in a hushed voice, telling him everything he knew, "The previous days it was just small bouquets, but today it was 199 roses, a huge bundle..."

Yu Sheng narrowed his eyes, looking displeased.

Ren Zongshun added, "But every time Li Zhen sees them, she immediately throws them in the trash."

Yu Sheng's expression improved a little.

Today marked exactly one week since he had given Li Zhen the ultimatum.

Today was supposed to be the day she moved back to Jinlu Garden.

But over the past few days she hadn't contacted him at all.

"Xiaomeng, I'm heading out first, see you tomorrow!" Zhang Xiya blew a kiss.

Li Zhen was packing up, getting ready to leave work, "Okay."

Nothing to fear!

Li Zhen took a deep breath. "One shouldn't act like this. Yu Sheng, you obviously understand what I mean, you just want to pressure me, don't you?"

Li Zhen didn't quite believe Yu Sheng was completely unable to listen to her words.

"So what do you mean? That you're not coming home?" There was no warmth in Yu Sheng's tone, he laughed coldly.

Once he removed her from the family registry, Li Zhen wouldn't have to keep attending social functions under the title of the Yu family's daughter-in-law. Originally he didn't want to keep vexing her, and thought that from then on she could just do as she pleased.

But now it seemed her stubbornness was aimed entirely at him.

Even when he lowered his head and asked her to come home, she was still being contrary.

Yu Sheng was tired of arguing with her, his chest felt stifled and uncomfortable.

He took out his phone and called Ren Zongshun. "Manager Ren, please arrange for a colleague to accompany the marketing department to IF Mall's celebration banquet tonight... Li Zhen will do..."

Yu Sheng hung up and saw the shock on Li Zhen's face that she couldn't hide.

When he spoke again, his tone was cold as ice.

"You hate social functions the most, don't you?"

"Since you don't want to go home, from now on you can attend all the functions with me."

"Going home or attending functions, choose one of the two things you hate!"

Li Zhen was so angry her whole body stiffened. "Yu Sheng! Don't go too far!"

"This is going too far? This is just the beginning."

Yu Sheng glanced at his watch, his expression cold. Then he turned and walked away.

Li Zhen was stunned that Yu Sheng could be so shameless. Before she could react, she had already received a call from Ren Zongshun.

Ren Zongshun sounded conflicted. "Li Zhen... the marketing department..."

Li Zhen cut him off. "Manager Ren, I know what you're talking about. I won't go. You can dock my performance pay or fire me, but I'm not going."

"You have to go, Li Zhen. If you don't, I'll have to find someone else." Ren Zongshun was very troubled. "I could hear President Yu's tone just now wasn't good. If I send someone else, they'll surely get blamed by him, and that person will end up worse off... And you know, our advertising department relies a lot on the marketing department. Once President Yu steps down, Zhao Manager who works under him will likely take over. He's President Yu's man too. We can't afford to offend President Yu..."

Li Zhen's eyelid was twitching even faster than before.

She shook with anger.

"Ugh..." The nervousness made Li Zhen dry heave.

"What's wrong, Li Zhen?" Ren Zongshun asked worriedly over the phone.

Li Zhen suppressed the nausea and gave a self-mocking laugh. "I'll go, okay? I'll go."

Yu Sheng had ignored her for three years while painstakingly gaining power at Macrohai, and now was using it to pressure her?

How laughable!
