Early the next morning, Uncle Bai stopped Lu Luochen who was about to go to work and handed over the tablet in his hand, saying, "Sir, this is what the old master told me to give you."
There was still doubt in Lu Luochen's eyes, but Uncle Bai didn't offer any explanation. He simply bowed to Lu Luochen and said, "It will drizzle today. Please be careful on the way, sir."
Seeing that he couldn't get an answer from Uncle Bai, Lu Luochen didn't delay any longer. He casually took the tablet and got into the car.
Actually, his legs and back still ached badly today, and the bruises hadn't faded yet, but he didn't want to stay at home.
On the one hand, he didn't want to face the disappointed look in his grandfather's eyes. On the other hand, he thought that maybe his grandfather didn't want to see him either. So, he went to work as usual.
On the way to the company, it did start to drizzle. Before people could even feel the coolness of the raindrops, the gentle drizzle turned into a torrential downpour. The raindrops hit the car roof with a crackling sound, and the traffic got congested because of this sudden heavy rain.
Half an hour into the traffic jam, Lu Luochen impatiently tugged at his tie. Just as he was about to roll down the window to get some fresh air, he suddenly caught sight of the tablet he had casually thrown aside.
It was the one Uncle Bai gave him before he left home.
Lu Luochen stretched his neck and looked at the long line of red taillights in front of him. He clicked his tongue softly and picked up the tablet.
The tablet didn't have a password lock. After opening it, there were only a few video files on the screen. He casually opened one and found that it was a surveillance video, and the person appearing in the surveillance was Wen Sining.
This was the surveillance video of the hotel Wen Sining had been to yesterday.
Lu Luochen suddenly sat up straight. His sword-shaped eyebrows knitted tightly, forming a deep crease between them.
In the video, Wen Sining and the baby-faced man he saw yesterday were walking hand in hand into the hotel lobby and waiting for the elevator.
Everything he saw now was the same as what he saw yesterday. The two of them were intimate, chatting and laughing. Wen Sining even leaned over to whisper something in the man's ear from time to time, making the man cover his mouth and laugh. While laughing, he also looked to the side...
Wait, why did he look to the side?
Lu Luochen suddenly realized that he might have missed something.
Sure enough, when he shifted his gaze to the side, he saw the figure of a tall man following not far behind them.
At first, Lu Luochen wasn't sure if the three of them knew each other. It wasn't until they all got into the elevator that the baby-faced man voluntarily let go of Wen Sining's hand and walked to the tall man's side to talk to him. And Wen Sining had been standing two steps away from them all the time.
In the second video, the three of them got out of the elevator. The baby-faced man took out a lollipop from the tall man's coat pocket, unwrapped it and put it in his mouth. Then he stood between Wen Sining and the tall man, chatting and laughing as they walked towards the room.
In the third video, when they reached the room door, the baby-faced man took out the room card from the tall man's pocket again. He swiped the card and skipped into the room. The tall man followed closely behind. Wen Sining waved to the people inside, said something, but didn't go in. She just stood at the door.
A few minutes later, the baby-faced man took out a dark blue gift bag and handed it to Wen Sining. The latter happily took it and even reached out to ruffle the baby-faced man's hair, smiling brightly.
After they talked for a few more minutes, Wen Sining turned around and left. The baby-faced man stood at the door and watched Wen Sining get into the elevator before closing the door.
...
Lu Luochen threw the tablet aside and shouted anxiously at the driver, "Turn around! Go to Mo Xin!"
Mo Xin Office Building.
Before the car even came to a complete stop, Lu Luochen pulled open the door and rushed into the Mo Xin Office Building against the torrential rain.
The receptionist at the front desk was shocked for a moment when she saw Lu Luochen. Then she rolled her eyes, quickly tidied up her clothes and smiled extremely gently, "Mr. Lu, may I ask what you need?"
"Where's Wen Sining?" Lu Luochen asked directly.
The receptionist was slightly taken aback. Then she smiled even more brightly and tilted her body towards Lu Luochen.
"Mr. Lu, you're looking for our President Wen. I'm really sorry, but President Wen hasn't come yet. If you don't mind, you can first go to..." Eh, Mr. Lu, Mr. Lu."
Before her words could even finish, Lu Luochen turned around and was about to leave. The receptionist quickly followed up, tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, showed her most beautiful side of the face and pulled down her clothes a bit.
"Mr. Lu, it's raining so heavily outside now. I guess President Wen is stuck in traffic on the way. Why don't you go to the reception room and sit for a while? I'll make you a cup of coffee."
The receptionist said in a sweet voice.
Lu Luochen glanced at her indifferently, ignored her and took out his phone from his pocket, dialing Wen Sining's number again and again. However, no one answered on the other end.
The receptionist saw all this and hung a very gentle and amiable smile on her face. "Mr. Lu, did you quarrel with President Wen? President Wen is very domineering when she's at the company. She always likes to have her own way and doesn't allow others to go against her will. I imagine that it must be quite tiring for you to get along with President Wen on a daily basis, right?"
She stole a glance at Lu Luochen, but seeing that he didn't react, her heart suddenly skipped a beat. She got a bit closer to Lu Luochen and said with a smile, "Mr. Lu, don't be angry with our President Wen. She's just such a person. As long as you're a bit softer in temper... Oh, Mr. Lu, don't misunderstand. I don't mean anything else by saying these words. It's just that President Wen has always been very kind to us and has promoted me a lot. So I just can't help but say a few good words for her."
At this moment, Lu Luochen suddenly stopped walking. The receptionist was overjoyed. She still pretended not to see and bumped into him on purpose.
"Ouch, I'm sorry, Mr. Lu. Did I hurt you? Why don't you go to the lounge and sit for a while? I'll check if you're injured."
"How did Wen Sining recruit you?" Lu Luochen said.
"Ah?" The receptionist didn't react and looked at Lu Luochen blankly.
Lu Luochen just gave her a cold look and then turned around and walked away quickly. The receptionist came to her senses and was about to chase after him. At this time, a cold voice came from behind her.
"Zhao Lingling, it's working time now. What do you think you're doing by leaving your post without permission?"
Zhao Lingling looked back and found that it was Tang Na, the vice president of Mo Xin, who was speaking.
She then turned to look at Lu Luochen who had already gotten back into the car. She bit her lip unwillingly and then forced a smile on her face. "Ms. Tang, I didn't leave my post without permission. Mr. Lu came just now. I was just seeing him off."
"Humph, seeing Mr. Lu off? I think you want to send yourself to his bed." Tang Na sneered.
