Kevin Lu sat in the Time Cafe and looked at the evening newspaper in his hand absentmindedly. The coffee at hand has long since run out of temperature.

More than forty minutes have passed since the appointed time, and Lu Kaiwen looked at the message on his phone again, "Su Qing, I have to see you, Director Xiao has found me, and I want to discuss some things with you." I'll be waiting for you at 6 p.m. at the Time Cafe. Kevin Lu. ”

Could it be that Su Qing is ready to miss the appointment? Doesn't she care about Xiao Zhufang's possible actions against her?

At lunchtime, Lu Kaiwen, who was talking with Ning Feiyang, kept watching Su Qing and Xiao Zhufang's actions with the rest of his eyes. In the eyes of others, the intimate actions of the two female executives made Lu Kaiwen vigilant.

A sudden act of affection means something unusual. Lu Kaiwen, who has resolved the conflict between the two many times, has to be deeply vigilant.

Xiao Zhufang's visit also put Lu Kaiwen in a dilemma that he had never had before.

"Kevin, I'm here to ask for your help." Xiao Zhufang, who almost followed Lu Kaiwen back to the office from the restaurant, said in a straightforward tone.

"Hehe, what makes our Director Xiao so embarrassed? I can tell you in advance that I may not be able to do what you are embarrassed about. Kevin Lu immediately thought of the scene in the restaurant.

"Kevin, don't be sloppy with me. It's not that I can't do it, it's just that it's not suitable for me to do. Even if you help your sister, it's not a difficult task. Xiao Zhufang's tense tone was gradually relaxing.

"Huh. It's not up to you to do it? And there is such a thing. Okay, tell me, little brother will help you see what to do. Lu Kaiwen stubbornly prepared to face Xiao Zhufang's request.

Xiao Zhufang showed a brief hesitation, as she seemed to be considering her language.

Lu Kaiwen's heart sank more and more, and Xiao Zhufang's appearance made him more and more convinced that what was about to happen was related to girls.

Once again, his hunch was confirmed.

"Kevin, transfer Su Qing out of the company. At least transfer her away from Ning Feiyang's side. Xiao Zhufang finally stopped hesitating.

Lu Kaiwen's blood seemed to stop flowing for a while, and Xiao Zhufang finally couldn't help it.

“…… Director Xiao, what do you mean? Can you make that clear? Lu Kaiwen's tone became as stiff and cold as his own body.

Xiao Zhufang also noticed the change in Lu Kaiwen, and she felt a burst of apology.

"Kevin, I know you've always admired Su Qing, and so have I. But I still insisted on this reluctant request and transferred Su Qing out of the company. I know that you have other investment projects, let Su Qing do more meaningful things, Lingyun Company is actually not suitable for her. Xiao Zhufang tried to make the tone of voice an obvious request.

Lu Kaiwen didn't answer immediately, he just stared at Xiao Zhufang and observed carefully.

"Sister, please. Arrange Su Qing to your investment project. She has been your assistant and you appreciate her abilities. It's the best way to do it. Only you can do it. Help my sister. Xiao Zhufang tried her best to explain her purpose.

"Sister, why is this? Su Qing is just a girl who has just joined the work. Did she make a mistake at work? Did she violate the company's rules? It is the responsibility of senior managers to retain talents for the company and create an open employment environment for the company. The company is about to go public, and the future listed company needs compound talents like Su Qing. Look at the company's managers, who works as hard as Su Qing? A girl starts with office chores and participates in many important things step by step. How difficult it is for a top student from a prestigious university to be willing to start from the grassroots level in a down-to-earth manner. Director Xiao, we should cherish such a talent instead of driving her away. Lu Kevin gradually became excited.

Xiao Zhufang's eyes gradually changed as he looked at Lu Kaiwen.

"I'm sorry, please forgive me for my excitement." Lu Kaiwen finally realized Xiao Zhufang's meaningful eyes.

There was a brief moment of awkwardness and silence between the two.

"Kevin, I understand you. After all, Su Qing has worked by your side, and she is your hand. But my sister is not a jealous villain. You know her relationship with us, and if possible, I would even like her to take Ning Feiyang's place. However, I have to say that she has a reason to leave, and she must leave before our Ning family and Xiao family become the laughing stock of the company. Xiao Zhufang's increasingly softened tone had a resoluteness that could not be refused.

Lu Kaiwen gathered all his thoughts and began to look at the other party.

There was no jealousy in Xiao Zhufang's eyes, but there was a faint uneasiness and anxiety.

"Sister Xiao. Since a person's future and career are at stake, please give me a clear answer, vague requests cannot be a reason for me to do things. Lu Kaiwen was also a little nervous, and the answer aroused his interest and caused him to be uneasy.

A trace of hesitation crossed Xiao Zhufang's eyes.

"Kevin, do you have to have a valid reason?" Xiao Zhufang was still hesitating.

"Yes, I'm not one to ignore the future of my employees. I've also come step by step. Kevin Lu also showed a resolute attitude.

"Okay. Kevin, do you think it's okay to have an ambiguous relationship with your boss? Although I don't want Su Qing to leave, and I don't want Su Qing to be wronged, I am more concerned about the relationship between Ning Xiao and the company's reputation. Xiao Zhufang finally stopped hiding it.

Lu Kaiwen had the illusion of dizziness for a while, and his mind went blank in an instant.

"You can't just guess, it needs proof." Kevin Lu almost muttered a vague point.

Xiao Zhufang frowned, she was dissatisfied with Lu Kaiwen's insistence.

"Kevin, do you really want me to wait until we're a joke in the company before I act? Do you think I'm going to be that sluggish and stupid? Xiao Zhufang almost screamed in a low voice.

What Lu Kaiwen felt was a burst of coldness and weakness that swept through his body.

His negligence finally led to irreparable consequences, and his connivance and protection of Su Qing finally led to today's results.

"Is there any evidence? Don't use speculation and suspicion to discredit a girl. Lu Kaiwen's voice became colder and colder.

"Evidence? Witnesses from others are considered evidence. Xiao Zhufang couldn't take into account the other party's tone, and the scene in front of her made her a little dizzy.

"Sighting? …… Okay, Director Xiao, let me think about it, it's too sudden, I have to think about it. Sorry to leave me alone for a while. Kevin Lu felt that he could barely open his eyes, and he just wanted to make everything quiet.

Lu Kaiwen, who leaned on the back of the chair and closed his eyes to recuperate, finally picked up his mobile phone and began to dial, but soon he gave up this action again, he sent a text message and closed his heavy eyes again.

Although he did not receive a reply, he believed that the girl would come.

"I'm sorry I'm late." A cold voice finally awakened Kevin Lu's hope just as he was about to be completely disappointed.

"It's good to be here. Sit. Have you eaten? Kevin Lu didn't look up, he didn't want to look at the other party, and he didn't have the strength to look at the other party.

"I've eaten it. I wasn't going to the feast. A cold voice urged Landing Kevin to get to the point.

"Okay, I'm not going to beat around the bush anymore. Xiao Zhufang came to me. I think you should know what she's for. Lu Kaiwen put down the evening newspaper in his hand.

"I don't know. It also doesn't seem necessary to know. The answer was still indifferent.

Lu Kaiwen finally raised his eyes, he didn't meet the other party's gaze, and the other party was also looking left and right.

"Su Qing, I know you don't want to see me. I also know that you still can't forgive me. But I still want to say that you are a girl to be cherished. You don't let our mistakes ruin yourself. Kevin Lu can no longer ask the other party to focus on himself.

"Ruined myself? Haha, ridiculous. You'd better mind your own business, and I don't want to stay here if nothing else. Su Qing turned to Lu Kaiwen's face full of sarcasm and contempt.

"Okay, then I'll ask you. Is what Xiao Zhufang said true? Kevin Lu eagerly got to the point.

"What's the matter? I know which one you're talking about? Su Qing's impatience was no longer hidden.

"You...... Your relationship with Ning Feiyang. How far have you been? Kevin Lu suppressed his irritability and hesitation.

Su Qing looked at the other party fiercely for a while, she was guessing the other party's heart.

"Don't look at me like that, I want a true answer." Lu Kaiwen's irritability finally overcame his hesitation.

"Hmph, you have to be real. Forgive me for refusing to answer, because you are not worthy. Good bye. Su Qing finally stood up.

"Wait. I knew I didn't deserve it. But I have to know, because I have to know how to protect you. Kevin Lu also stood up. He made a blocking gesture.

"Wait until you're qualified to talk about protecting others. Do you think I'll accept your protection? You just have to leave my life to be a sign of respect for me. As for the matter between me and Ning Feiyang, I will handle it myself. Thank you for your concern. If hypocrisy makes you feel better, I accept it. You can rest easy. Su Qing gritted her teeth and turned around.

"Su Qing, is it necessary for you to do this? Even friends should be concerned. Will rejecting me make you feel good? Ran, Kevin almost growled.

Su Qingda turned around. She stared at each other coldly.

"Friends? Can a friend fall into the ground? Can a friend threaten the other? Can a friend make a trade? I'm still talking about so-called friends, so please give me a little peace of mind. Please. Su Qing's tone became weaker and weaker.

Lu Kaiwen smiled bitterly, he realized at this moment how pale and empty his language was.

If you don't have the courage to take responsibility, you are not qualified to act as a protector.
