Chapter 17: Deliberate Difficulties

He clearly knew that Fang Jiangyi was a man with extremely strong self - esteem, so he deliberately said those words to provoke him.

The atmosphere between the two became increasingly tense, as if they were about to fight.

Suddenly, the person in Lu Qianzhou's arms let out a soft moan, buried her face in his arms and rubbed it, then frowned and called out, "Lu... um..."

Before she could finish her words, Lu Qianzhou suddenly covered her mouth with his hand. He naturally pulled her into his arms, bent down and picked her up horizontally. When passing by Fang Jiangyi, he slowed down his pace.

"I heard that you've got the Taiji Lake project. It's not the first time I've given up a project. " He didn't even look at Fang Jiangyi and said coldly, "What you have is what I've bestowed upon you. Whatever I want, you can't compete with me."

It was not until the sound of footsteps faded away that Fang Jiangyi let out a puff of turbid air. He looked back, but there was no sign of the two.

After coming out of the restaurant, Lu Qianzhou extremely roughly threw the person into the car.

Yan Xia's head hit the car window. The pain instantly sobered her up. She opened her eyes and got up, seeing Lu Qianzhou in the passenger seat and Wen Liang in the driver's seat.

"Not pretending anymore?"

"I'm not pretending!" Yan Xia stared at him and said, "Why did you come here in person? Fang Jiangyi already suspected that I had ill intentions. With your appearance, he will suspect me even more."

Lu Qianzhou propped his elbow on the car window and said, "On the first day, you've gotten yourself into such a mess. What else can I expect from you?"

Maybe due to the bumpy ride, Yan Xia felt extremely uncomfortable in her stomach and a bit nauseous.

She looked at herself in the rear - view mirror and said, "If you want to establish your authority, the best way is at the dinner table. Just this once. It won't happen again."

The car was driving steadily on the road when Yan Xia suddenly asked.

"Did you take something from Fang Jiangyi before? He is very on guard against me. I'm afraid I have to show some achievements to make him let down his guard."

Lu Qianzhou didn't look at her, and his tone returned to gentle. "Don't be hasty in everything."

Since he was reluctant to say, she didn't ask anymore.

Yan Xia slept well that night.

After officially starting work, she had been busy with the project of the international high school. Her sufficient preparations enabled her to get the right to be in charge of the project as she wished. The connection with the person in charge of SN also went smoothly.

It was originally said that she only needed to be responsible for the physical school project recently, but suddenly she became extremely busy. For some reason, the project department manager always had a cold attitude towards her and deliberately made things difficult for her in every aspect.

The manager had thrown several projects at her in a row, but Yan Xia never complained.

It was said that this Manager Yang Fan was an old employee of the company. He had extremely strong working ability. Since the position of the deputy general manager was vacant this year, he was one of the most powerful candidates.

On this day, just like before, as soon as it was time to get off work, a document was thrown in front of Yan Xia. She had been in a daze looking at the computer. When she came to her senses, she heard the manager's sarcastic tone.

"Supervisor Lu has a good mood. So leisurely. It seems that you've finished all your work." He pushed the document towards her with one finger. "Just right. The risk points of this project need to be optimized. The work plan is due early tomorrow morning."

This was the third time Yan Xia had been caught just as she was about to get off work. Considering that she had just started working, the high - intensity work was really a bit overwhelming for her.

Yan Xia didn't look at him. She just replied coldly, "I haven't finished the project I'm working on yet."

Manager Yang stood beside the table. Instantly, he became aggressive and sneered sarcastically, "The project department has been a bit busier recently, but this is also Supervisor Lu's job. I, as the manager, should have the power to arrange work, right?"

"Right. With Supervisor Lu's background, you've never suffered such hardships. If it were Chang Ling who joined the company, it might be much easier. But I still want to advise Supervisor Lu that in Shengshi, you can gain some temporary advantages by relying on your connections, but you won't go far."

His deliberate attitude was so obvious that Yan Xia couldn't fail to notice.

In the first few days after she joined the company, Manager Yang had been polite to her. The sudden change in his attitude must have been due to the order of someone.

Yan Xia casually flipped through the document and said, "I wonder if Manager Yang has ever heard a saying, the wall - riding grass..."

She curved her lips slightly but didn't finish the sentence.

"I understand that Manager Yang is just doing his duty for the person who entrusted him. But it seems that you lack some judgment. Who is Peng Shiyi? How much can she interfere in the company's affairs? Aren't you afraid of digging your own grave one day by helping her like this?"
