Chapter 47

Shen Nian's eyes darkened as she concealed the emotions in them, and did not take the coffee Liang Jinghe had pushed over. She just said lightly, "I will complete my own work duties."

Indifferent, aloof, she was like a secretary who took her work seriously.

Liang Jinghe immediately understood, giving a faint smile without saying anything more, only saying, "Alright, then I'll be going first."

Shen Nian got up and nodded at Liang Jinghe.

Not long after Liang Jinghe left, Lu Lingchuan came out from his office, striding meteorically towards the conference room. Shen Nian had already prepared the necessary documents, immediately picking up the things and following him.

Today's meeting was more important, with several employees taking turns to report on their work, whether it was explaining PPTs or reporting on other work, they were exceptionally prudent, paying 120% attention to their own words and actions every moment, afraid of saying something wrong.

Because...everyone in the room clearly felt that there were two cold airs in the conference room.

The first was from the central air conditioning above their heads.

As for the second...

Everyone silently looked towards Lu Lingchuan.

From the moment he entered the conference room, Lu Lingchuan had kept a stern face, listening to the employees report their work below without saying a word, the pen in his hand turning back and forth from irritation.

Those who could sit here were smart people, with just one look at his expression everyone immediately knew in their hearts.

President Lu was in a terrible mood today.

So everyone obediently bowed their heads to listen carefully to the talks, not napping, not whispering privately, and not rushing up to the CEO to vent his anger and become cannon fodder.

Shen Nian sat in her seat, lowering her head every so often to check the time.

It was almost six o'clock.

When this meeting finished, those who didn't need to work overtime could leave directly.

The employee was making the final summary, if nothing unexpected happened they would be able to end the meeting in three minutes. Shen Nian thought for a moment before clicking into the chat with Lu Lingchuan, tapping out words.

【Going out for dinner tonight, will be back a bit later.】

The internet speed was very fast, and Lu Lingchuan received the message in the next second.

In the huge conference room, Lu Lingchuan as the Chief Executive Officer naturally sat in the main seat at the head of the table. Shen Nian was his assistant, as well as a long-time veteran of the company, sitting in the first spot to his left.

Because the distance was so close, when the phone on the table vibrated Shen Nian heard it very clearly.

She saw Lu Lingchuan unceremoniously take out his phone to glance at it, he should have been looking at the message she sent. But in the next second he put the phone back on the table again, his expression unchanged, still as unpleasant.

The two walked side by side, and Jiang Lingling's mouth didn't stop.

"Luckily you were the one who submitted that document for me today. I could feel that President Lu was in a bad mood as soon as he entered the conference room."

"Mm." She had also felt it.

"Sister Nian, I haven't seen President Lu many times, so I'm not very familiar with President Lu's temper. You've followed President Lu for so many years, so I want to ask...is President Lu usually cold or occasionally cold?"

Usually cold or occasionally cold...only Jiang Lingling would say it this way.

Shen Nian thought back to Lu Lingchuan's expression when she entered the office, saying to Jiang Lingling, "President Lu is in a bad mood today, so take cover if you see him scowling in the future."

"Oh, got it." Jiang Lingling learned another thing, nodding, "Then Sister Nian, I'll go tidy up first. Don't leave, let's go eat."

"Mm."

Back at her seat, after she finished allocating the documents Lu Lingchuan would need tomorrow, she only left carrying her own bag. Jiang Lingling was already waiting for her at the elevator doors.

The two rode the elevator down together, then walked out of the company building.

It wasn't early anymore at this time, but because it was summer, the sky still hadn't darkened.

The two stood at the side of the road. Jiang Lingling shook her phone, "My cab will get here in three minutes, let's wait a bit."

"Alright."

She had just finished speaking when a sports car flew by from the side at high speed, too fast for people to react properly.

Shen Nian quickly caught sight of the license plate number on the back of the sports car. Seeing those familiar digits she knew it was Lu Lingchuan's car.

It seemed President Lu's anger hadn't abated.

The car drove very quickly, disappearing from sight in an instant. But Shen Nian still stared fixedly in the direction the car had left, not withdrawing her gaze for a long time.

"Sister Nian?" It wasn't until Jiang Lingling called her that Shen Nian came back to herself, "Hm?"

Jiang Lingling pointed at the car that had appeared in front of them at some unknown point, "The cab is here."

"Okay."

The two got into the backseat together.

They went to Nandajie. At this time it was right at the liveliest period. Jiang Lingling brought her to the hot pot restaurant she had heard was affordable, delicious and good value.

No wonder Jiang Lingling was raving about it, the popularity really was great.
