As soon as the words left her mouth, Shen Jianyi visibly jolted. Then, she turned her head and met the girl's innocent eyes.
"I don't know," Shen Jianyi lied. How could she not know? She was fully aware of the chip matter.
After that, Lu Yuan wasn't so tactless and didn't ask any more questions.
The two of them went straight to the large conference hall.
Shen Jianyi pushed the door open. Seeing the crowded hall, she frowned and then strode forward.
Lu Jinsheng, who was standing on the stage, was vividly giving a speech about his experiences and his school days.
The woman standing beside him should be Zhou Qi. It had to be said that she was really beautiful.
"So this is the so - called top - notch lawyer everyone talks about," Lu Yuan sighed, "She's quite pretty."
"Really?" Shen Jianyi glanced down at Lu Yuan, who was staring intently at the stage.
The other girl immediately felt that the air pressure around her was much lower than the surroundings. She shivered and then looked up at the person in front of her.
She coughed to cover her uneasiness. "Of course. She's definitely not as pretty as sister - in - law."
This was the truth. Shen Jianyi was the kind of person whose beauty grew on you. She might not be particularly eye - catching at first glance, but the more you looked at her, the more charming she became, making it hard for people to take their eyes off her.
Shen Jianyi didn't really care. Instead, she wove through the crowd and walked to the front.
Standing there, she caused quite a stir.
Zhou Qi on the stage looked down and met Shen Jianyi's eyes. The eye - contact lasted for a full minute.
Shen Jianyi could feel the unfriendly gaze from the other woman.
Although she didn't know who this woman was, the hostility in her eyes was so clear that Shen Jianyi couldn't be wrong.
Just then, someone accidentally bumped into her. Shen Jianyi leaned forward and came back to her senses.
"Sorry, sorry. I didn't see you just now."
Shen Jianyi showed no expression. Her stony face was intimidating, and even the temperature around the woman seemed to drop. The person who bumped into her was so scared that her legs went weak.
Then, Shen Jianyi forced a smile. "It's okay."
These three words really frightened the person. She apologized several times in a row and then rushed away in a hurry.
Seeing this, Shen Jianyi snorted and looked up at the serious man on the stage.
Perhaps Lu Jinsheng sensed something. When he looked down, he found Shen Jianyi with a cold expression in the crowd at first sight.
He frowned and managed to finish his nearly half - hour speech in just a dozen minutes.
After the speech, Lu Jinsheng couldn't wait to get off the stage, even though there were many juniors and juniors asking him questions.
Lu Jinsheng didn't give them any chance and just turned around to leave.
Seeing this, Zhou Qi wanted to reach out and pull him, but the man moved so fast that she couldn't catch him.
Now, only Zhou Qi was left on the stage.
She felt a bit at a loss. Mainly because Lu Jinsheng had taken the speech draft. Zhou Qi took a deep breath. Now she could only improvise based on her feelings.
In full view of everyone, Zhou Qi took the microphone and was not the least bit flustered. Without a script, she gave a vivid speech as if she had one.
On the other side.
Lu Jinsheng went straight to the backstage. The principal was stunned when he saw the two speech drafts in Lu Jinsheng's hand. Before he could ask what was going on, he saw the man rushing out in a hurry.
"Hey, CEO Lu, where are you going?" The principal leaned on his walking stick and chased after him. "You two are going to have an interview later!"
But Lu Jinsheng was running so fast that he had no time to pay attention to the principal.
This was the first time the principal had seen Lu Jinsheng so anxious about something. He just walked straight up to Shen Jianyi.
He wasn't even out of breath, but his forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat. Shen Jianyi took two steps forward, stood on tiptoe, and wiped the sweat off his forehead.
"Why are you running?"
Lu Jinsheng grinned. "I saw you, and I didn't want to give the speech anymore."
Saying such things in front of so many people, Shen Jianyi felt that many people were looking at her at that moment. However, she didn't feel embarrassed. Instead, she accepted it calmly.
Shen Jianyi tugged at the man's cuffs and whispered, "Have you finished your speech?"
"It should be finished."
"Go home?"
Lu Jinsheng gave a meaningful smile. "Sure."
Just as the two were about to leave, the principal leaned on his walking stick and chased after them. Seeing him struggling so much to run, it made others burst out laughing.
"CEO Lu, wait a minute!"
Lu Jinsheng turned his head. Seeing the out - of - breath principal, he frowned slightly. "Principal, what else do you want?"
"There's an interview later. I'd like you and Zhou Qi to have it together. There are quite a few juniors and juniors who are curious about the lives of successful people like you and want you to share some of your experiences with them."
Hearing this, Lu Jinsheng showed no expression. His voice was completely different from before. It was cold to the bone. "I have no experiences. I've been like this since I was born."
The principal twitched the corner of his mouth. He really couldn't think of any way to keep him.
So he resorted to his old trick. "CEO Lu, for the sake of this being the place where you once studied, could you stay a little longer for the interview later?"
As soon as he said this, Lu Jinsheng subconsciously looked at Shen Jianyi, waiting for her answer.
The principal seemed to understand something and immediately shifted his target. He fixed his eyes on the woman, smiling cheerfully. "Student Jianyi, we won't take much of your time. Zhou Qi will finish her speech soon."
Just then, Shen Jianyi also wanted to see what kind of person Zhou Qi was, so she didn't refuse.
"Okay."
Lu Jinsheng was a bit surprised. He didn't expect Shen Jianyi to agree so readily. But it was okay. He couldn't reject the principal's face.
He casually took the woman's delicate hand and walked towards the backstage with his head held high.
All these scenes were seen by the students. The female students couldn't believe that the cold and heartless CEO Lu outside had become a henpecked husband in front of his wife.
Someone sighed, "Sure enough, I knew that CEO Lu is the best boyfriend in our hearts. He gives us enough sense of security outside, but at home, he's like a clingy puppy."
Zhou Qi on the stage also saw this. She choked with sobs. Everything had been going smoothly, but when she saw the two being so intimate, she suddenly got stuck and couldn't say a word. This made her feel very embarrassed on the stage.
