Chapter 296 Becoming each other's confidence
After the successful launch of the AI tool, Lu Xingchen went out to dinner with Lin Huanxi and others that night, saying it was a celebration, but everyone knew that the matter was not over until the traitor was found.
So after dinner, everyone prepared to go back home.
As soon as they went out, they saw Li Zhen's car parked in front of the restaurant, and they walked forward.
Li Zhen saw them coming out and got out of the car.
The temperature in Guangdong City officially dropped in mid-to-late November. Li Zhen wore a short jacket and black trousers, which made him look taller and his legs longer.
Cheng Xiao jokingly asked: "Boss Li doesn't even have time to come over for dinner, what are you rushing over for now?"
Li Zhen glanced at Lu Xingchen first, then replied, "Come over here to give your impressions."
Lin Huanxi: "What's your impression?"
This was a conversation between Li Zhen and Lu Xingchen. Others naturally didn't know what it meant, so the two looked at each other without answering. However, Li Zhen looked at Lin Huanxi and said, "Well done."
Lin Huanxi naturally heard that he was praising her AI tool project. She was happy but also felt guilty. "Not bad. If it weren't for Brother Chen, I would have gotten into big trouble."
Li Zhen: "Isn't it normal for you to get into trouble?"
"Hey!" Lin Huanxi admitted that she was capable. Li Zhen said that she was used to arguing, "Could it be that what you said to praise me just now was actually a sarcastic remark?"
Li Zhen smiled a little, "That's a real compliment. You have indeed grown a lot since you went to Zhixing."
Lin Huanxi felt a little embarrassed again, "Don't give me that."
Everyone talked to each other for a while.
Then Cheng Xiao said, "You guys chat, I won't disturb these two busy people's rare time alone and I'll leave first. See you tomorrow."
Then Tsui Hark and Zhao Wenjing also left.
Li Zhen asked Lin Huanxi if he had drunk any wine.
"I'll be in the mood to drink when we really celebrate. I'm going back too." Lin Huanxi said goodbye to Lu Xingchen, "Brother Chen, you've worked hard these past two days. Go back and have a rest early, and don't play with my brother too late..."
The last sentence was said in a distant voice under Li Zhen's warning gaze.
Li Zhen and Lu Xingchen watched her get in the car and drive away. Li Zhen then turned to look at Lu Xingchen, lowered his head and took her hand in his, then looked at her and said, "Mr. Lu, you always surprise me."
Lu Xingchen looked at him, "Why, did you think I lost at the beginning?"
Li Zhen: "That can't be possible."
Lu Xingchen: "Then why are you surprised? Isn't this just a routine operation?"
Li Zhen endured for a long time, but couldn't help laughing and said, "Boss Lu, how about we be more modest?"
Lu Xingchen also laughed now, "Let's go back."
The two walked to the car, Li Zhen helped her open the door, waited for her to sit in and closed the door, then walked to the driver's seat and sat in. Lu Xingchen had already fastened his seat belt, and he started the car and left.
Li Zhen: "Do you have any clue about the person who leaked the information?"
Lu Xingchen: "We plan to let Huiguang find this person himself, and then follow the clues to find the cause."
"Spread false information to Huiguang?" Li Zhen couldn't help but smile, "That's a good idea."
"We have to try it first. The surveillance in the company has been cleared, and Huanxi has no clue. At present, we can be sure that the problem lies within the company."
Li Zhen said: "It seems that the Lu family has no intention of letting you go."
Lu Xingchen was silent for a moment, and then said, "So, after this matter is over, I want to go to the Lu family."
Hearing this, Li Zhen couldn't help but turn his head to look at her, "It shouldn't be because of this, right?"
"This is not a big deal." Lu Xingchen couldn't help but sighed, "My household registration has always been in the Lu family. I want to go to the Lu family and announce to them that I give up the right to inherit the Lu family."
Li Zhen was surprised, not because Lu Xingchen gave up this right, but because she and Lu Dingsheng had no blood relationship. This right might be the last relationship in her heart with Lu Dingsheng that was difficult to break.
"I support you in any decision you make, and I want to tell you that even if you give up your inheritance rights, the father-daughter relationship between you and Chairman Lu will still exist."
"I know, it's..." Lu Xingchen couldn't help but smile, "I always thought of him as my father, but seven years have passed, and sometimes I feel confused. Does he still think of me as his daughter? I know he still thinks of me as a daughter, but..."
At this point, Lu Xingchen's eyes were inexplicably sore. "Compared to the past, or compared to his biological daughter, I would feel lost and jealous, but I also know in my heart that I don't have the qualifications. Moreover, as the time we are apart gets longer, the more the Lu family will reject me, and my qualifications will become less and less. Giving up the rights between him and me is like giving up this father-daughter relationship. I can only get further and further away from him in the future."
Having said that, Lu Xingchen truly felt that late autumn had arrived, and his heart felt a little desolate.
The red light came on, Li Zhen stopped the car, held her hand, thought for a moment and said: "Will you feel better if you think this way..."
Lu Xingchen looked at him.
Li Zhen also looked at her and said, "You married me, the person you love deeply, but you are very far away from home. You can only go home once or twice a year, so you rarely meet your parents, but you actually care about each other in your heart."
What kind of metaphor is this? Lu Xingchen said unhappily, "Why does this situation emphasize that I love you deeply?"
Li Zhen: "Otherwise you wouldn't have been forced to leave with me."
Lu Xingchen thought about it and said, "That's right."
Li Zhen: "Is it less difficult to accept if you think this way?"
Regardless of whether it was true or not, seeing how hard he tried to comfort her, she nodded, "Yes."
Li Zhen: "However, you didn't marry far away, and I won't let you be so far away from your family."
Lu Xingchen didn't expect that he would suddenly change from comforting her to telling her the reality.
Li Zhen held her hand tightly and said, "I think you didn't dare to have normal contact with Lu Dingsheng all these years. First, you were afraid of causing trouble to him, and second, you were afraid of causing trouble to you. Third, you wanted to make some achievements before you could walk up to him and tell him that you were doing well."
Lu Xingchen was so surprised that he was speechless.
Li Zhen smiled and raised his hand to touch her head. "There's no need to be surprised. You told me that yourself when you were drunk that night."
At this time, the green light came on, and he turned around and continued driving. After passing the traffic light, he looked at her again and said, "I hope I can do anything for you, including the confidence to have normal dealings with Lu Dingsheng. I also sincerely feel that even if there is no power relationship between you and him, you will soon be able to stand in front of him with your strength and tell him that you are living a good life."
It turns out that being seen through by the person you like doesn't make you feel embarrassed, but at ease. Tears welled up in Lu Xingchen's eyes. She smiled and asked him, "Is this the review you gave me?"
Li Zhen smiled, "No."
Lu Xingchen: "So what are your thoughts after watching it?"
Li Zhen: "My impression after watching it is that you are too charming. I am afraid that I am not worthy of you, so I plan to provide you with a one-stop service."
"What is one-stop service?"
This time, Li Zhen looked at the road ahead instead of her. He couldn't help showing a cunning look in his eyes, and said, "I'll tell you when we get home."
