Chapter 105: Lu Hanchuan's Dominance

ore!" Fu Xiaoyao lowered her head slightly, looking downcast. "You just said that a Miss Qi that someone else has worn won't be wanted again, and the same goes for me."She didn't know why Lù Hánchuan...Fu Xiaoyao originally wanted to agree, but she remembered that she had to return to her ancestral home early tonight to attend the ancestral rites tomorrow. She could only cruelly refuse.

"Sorry, Linlin, I can't make it tonight. How about in two days"

"What are you up to tonight" Yulin asked.

Fu Xiaoyao remained silent for two seconds, "Well, there's something going on at home."

"Alright, then how about the day after tomorrow Don't stand me up then, okay" Yu Lin chuckled playfully.

Fu Xiaoyao nodded heavily, "Good."

After hanging up the phone, she let out a slight sigh, took a sip of water from her desk, and then got up and went to Lu Hanchuan's office.

"Come in!" a cold voice responded from within.

Fu Xiaoyao pushed open the door, "Mr. Lu."

"How is it you" Lu Hanchuan glanced at her, "Have you finished organizing the materials I asked you to"

"No." Fu Xiaoyao shook her head.

"Then what are you coming here for" Lu Hanchuan retracted his gaze and continued to review the documents in his hand.

Fu Xiaoyao stopped in front of his desk, "I'm here to ask you, is it your arrangement for Linlin's promotion"

“You’re talking about Yu Lin”

"Yes."

"It's me!"

Fu Xiaoyao heard the man admit it, and she wasn't too surprised. After all, she had already guessed it.

She was just curious why he would do that.

Thinking this way, she blurted out the question.

Lu Hanchuan signed his name on the document while glancing at her without raising his head. "I remember you said she was your only friend and that she took good care of you, right"

"Yes, but what does this have to do with her promotion" Fu Xiaoyao was puzzled.

Lu Hanchuan put the finished document aside, "It's nothing. Since she's your friend, I'm doing this as a thank you for her care towards you."

Fu Xiaoyao was surprised, her mouth agape. It took her a long time to find her voice, "So you did this for me"

"Anything else" Lu Hanchuan raised his eyes to look at him.

Fu Xiaoyao stood straight, "Yes, why for me"

This question stumped Lü Hánchuan.

His eyes darkened, making it impossible to see what emotions lay beneath the surface.

Of course, what would he do for her Make a special exception for an ordinary employee who hasn't accomplished anything

And there's still no reason given for doing this!

Was it just because that woman named Yu Lin had taken care of her But what did that have to do with him

Lu Hanzhan pursed his thin lips, suppressing the answer that was almost about to burst out. He replied with a blank expression, "No reason, just do it if you want."

No, he just suddenly remembered, it wasn't intentional for her! Lu Hanchuan told himself that.

But the hand gripping the pen tightened slowly, and a flicker of unease crossed his eyes, unnoticed even by himself.

Fu Xiaoyao didn't notice Lu Hanchuan's strangeness, and she drooped her eyelids somewhat disappointedly, "Okay, I understand."

Although she didn't get the answer she wanted, she was already very content.

At the very least, Yu Lin's promotion was because of her.

"Is there anything else" Lu Hanchuan tapped the table.

"I'm fine."

"You're alright, then it's my turn to ask you." Lu Hanchuan's eyes suddenly turned cold.

Fu Xiaoyao was a little nervous, "I... did I do something wrong"

She stood there a little stiffly, as if careful not to make any sudden movements.

Lu Hanchuan narrowed his eyes, "Are you connected to Tang Yi"

"Tang Yi" Fu Xiaoyao was slightly startled. "You mean the CEO of Tang Corporation"

Lu Hanchuan did not respond and tacitly agreed.

Fu Xiaoyao immediately denied, "No, no, I'm not familiar with President Tang at all, so there could be no connection. I even showed you my phone last time, and I don't have his contact information."

"But he has been thinking about you all the time." Lu Hanchuan's lips curled into a cold arc.

Fu Xiaoyao stared blankly at him, "Thinking of me"

He called and said he wanted me to take you out to dinner. Lu Hanchuan twirled his pen, speaking lightly, but the coldness in his words was unmistakable.

Fu Xiaoyao's body trembled, "I won't go!"

Heaven knows what Tang Yi wants her to do.

She's really not close to him!

"You must go." Lu Hanchuan's commanding voice.

Fu Xiaoyao frowned, "Why"

"I have already agreed." Lu Hanchuan replied.

He wanted to see what Tang Yi was going to do.

"But..." Fu Xiaoyao still wanted to say something.

Lu Hanchuan impatiently interrupted her, "There's nothing. Just get out."

Fu Xiaoyao reluctantly went out.

After she left, she let out a sigh and took out her phone to send a text message to Yu Lin.

"Little Yao, did you mean in your text message that Mr. Lu gave me a promotion because I performed well"

“…Hmm.” Fu Xiaoyao replied softly.

Maybe Yu Lin was still caught up in the joy of her promotion and didn't notice the uncertainty in Fu Xiaoyao's voice. Instead, she laughed triumphantly, "President Lu is indeed a wise man!"

"Hehehe." Fu Xiaoyao smiled very reluctantly.

"I've decided!" Yu Lin suddenly shouted.

Fu Xiaoyao was startled, holding her phone a little farther away. "What do you decide"

"I've decided that General Lu will be my idol from now on. After all, there aren't many people who can see my strengths anymore, so I definitely have to cherish him."

Fu Xiaoyao rolled her eyes. "Then just take a picture of him and put it up for worship!"

"Good idea!" Yulin thought it made sense.

"You wouldn't really do that, would you"

"What's wrong with that" Yulin asked back.

Seeing that she was really going to do it, Fu Xiaoyao's face darkened, "You are not allowed to do this!"

Lu Hanchuan is not dead yet, what's the point of enshrining him

Even if I'm going to give it, she should be the one.

She is the wife of Lu Hanchuan!

Hearing the seriousness in Fu Xiaoyao's words, Yu Lin laughed nonchalantly, "Xiaoyao, you're being a little too serious. I was just kidding! I didn't really mean to do it. What if someone saw us and told Lu總 I couldn't handle the consequences."

"Are you really not serious" Fu Xiaoyao still wasn't sure.

Yu Lin's earnest assurance, "Rest assured, I really didn't."

"That's good, then you know how to behave." Fu Xiaoyao finally let her off the hook.

Yu Lin grinned mischievously, "Xia Yao, don't you think you're being a little too invested in Lu Zong's affairs"

"Huh" Fu Xiaoyao's expression changed slightly, hastily covering up, "No, you're thinking too much."

"I'm not overthinking this. This is genuinely how I feel, and it's happened multiple times now. I've noticed you always talk to Mr. Lu or defend him."

"I... I haven't done anything wrong, have I Mr. Lu is my boss, and he's also my husband's friend, so of course I should look after him a little more."

"That's what they say, but I just always feel something is off, but I can't put my finger on it." Yulin sighed in distress.

Fu Xiaoyao quickly changed the subject, “It’s nothing out of the ordinary. Okay, Linlin, I won’t talk to you anymore. I still have some data to organize. Let’s chat next time.”

She hung up the phone quickly.

If I don't hang up now and continue talking, Yu Lin might really guess something.

Yu Lin is unmatched in her ability to uncover gossip; she could rival a criminal profiler with her skills.

"Phew..." With a soft sigh, Fu Xiaoyao returned to her office and after a brief rest, continued her heavy workload.

She was busy until well past noon when Lu Hánchuan came to find her, and only then did she stop.

"Come with me." He looked at him, saying it without any room for argument.ght's events. After breakfast, they took Xiaobao to kindergarten.I don't know if it's my imagination, but Fu Xiaoyao always felt that Xiaobao's attitude towards Shao Sini was a bit strange.As for wher...
