Chapter 38 - Lu Chen's plans
Despite all the news, Xiu i decided to go back to report at Lu Corporation first before going ho. She also wanted to ask any update on how the PR team would be resolving the issue about the news of her and Lu Chen. After all, they had to clarify that the marriage news was just a rumor and not true.
Xiu i could feel the eyes of all the employees on her. So people tried their best to act normal while greeting her while so really stopped on their tracks and gawked at her. She even saw so hopeful gazes that felt like they were trying to have her spill so information about the marriage.
She sighed in defeat. Xiu i held back herself from telling all of them that what they heard on the news wasn’t true. She shouldn’t act too rashly and leave everything to the PR team else, it may cause more damage.
"Ms.Xiu." The Head of the PR team greeted when they saw her enter the PR room. Almost everyone stood up from their seats to greet her so Xiu i just quickly held her hand up to stop the others from standing. She shook her head as she signaled the PR head that she needs a word with him.
The PR head quickly lead her to her office and served her with tea.
"Tell what’s really happening." Xiu i asked directly.
The PR head already knew that Xiu i would imdiately ask for this once she returns to the office hence, she was already prepared and already had the materials ready. She handed over a couple of papers before further explaining what it was all about.
"Our team couldn’t find the person who spread this news however, it seems like it was done deliberately due to the fact that when we were trying to trace the news back from the first article, the writer seed to be fully prepared. Everything pinged back to a nonexistent IP Address and that person had used a dummy email to send the information in various dia publications before deleting itself in the internet."
Xiu i read the paper and saw the IP address and dummy email they were talking about.
"What about the Cybersecurity team?"
"Umm,..."
Xiu i saw the PR Head was hesitantly answering her question. With her brows raised, she wondered.
"Are you not coordinating this issue with the Cybersecurity team yet?" She raised her voice quite a bit, akin to almost scolding the PR head for not imdiately taking such actions.
Xiu i wondered why the PR team wasn’t coordinating with the Cyber team for resolving this issue since the news this ti is too serious this ti and they all need to take this news out of all the website as soon as possible or else, everything will beco uncontrollable anymore.
"I’m sorry Ms.Xiu." The PR head apologized. "Mr.Lu Shao gave a word not to do anything about to address this issue."
Xiu i’s head snapped back up, her frows creased. "What?!" She couldn’t stop her voice from raising even further. "Lu Shao did what?!"
Xiu i stood up from her seat reflexively as she threw the papers down on the table. She stared with unbelief at the person in front of her, scrutinizing her whether she was telling the truth or was just making an excuse.
However, she knew it better than herself. These employees wouldn’t dare throw a shade at Lu Shao, who has higher position than them.
Xiu i bit her lip when she reached the conclusion. Lu Shao wasn’t going to stop the PR team if no one had instructed it.
Then it had to be him.
Lu Chen.
Xiu i was biting her lip too tightly that it drew blood. Tasting the tang of iron in her mouth, she grimaced.
She felt her anger rising after realizing the true of culprit of Lu Shao’s action.
Xiu i quickly stord out of the office as she stomped her way to Lu Chen’s office.
She ignored all the people that were trying to greet her as she quickly rode the elevator and pressed the button to the president’s office floor.
Her hands were curled into fists as the elevator moved.
Damn Lu Chen.
What ga was he playing?!
Why is he just letting this kind of news get more uncontrollable?
Instantly, Xiu i could think of the answer. And she wasn’t happy realizing the possible reason behind Lu Chen’s plan.
"Is he inside?" Xiu i’s voice was full of frost as she asked Lu Shao who was working on his own table.
She watched Lu Shao examine her with his gaze, trying to observe her current mood. He sighed before nodding, signaling her that the person she was looking for was inside.
Xiu i knocked on the door and opened it, not bothering whether the president was letting her in or not. She could care less about manners at this point of ti.
"You’re here."
Xiu i had expected him to be on his desk, signing doc.u.nts in the middle of the pile of work on his desk but contrary to what Xiu i was expecting, Lu Chen wasn’t working at all.
He was standing by the floor to ceiling glass windows, his back facing her. Xiu i suddenly felt an oppressive feeling from Lu Chen, like he really was an emperor overseeing his kingdom as he stood like that watching the people below.
She quickly shrugged off her thoughts as she quickly confronted him.
"What kind of ga are you trying to play right now?"
"..."
She approached his table as she got a clear view of Lu Chen’s back from where she was standing. She quickly realized he wasn’t looking down at all, rather, he was staring from afar seemingly thinking deep about sothing.
Lu Chen just kept silent as she ignored her question. Xiu i fud in anger.
"You--"
"Your heart has soone."
Lu Chen’s voice was laced with poison as he turned his head to face her. His gaze was cold, similar to a deep abyss making Xiu i shudder in fear.
