Chapter 89

President Zou also stood up and smiled at Shen Nian, saying, "I've seen Shen Assistant's sincerity."

The uncle and nephew continued to chat with Shen Nian, while the two managers next to them were completely ignored, as if they were invisible. They brought up one topic after another, trying their best to get Shen Nian to drink.

Although young, Shen Nian had fought her way up from scratch alongside Lu Lingchuan, and she was also a social adept.

It was obvious that they were deliberately trying to get her drunk, but since she didn't know their true purpose, Shen Nian could only play along, following their lead step by step.

Zou Zhijie thought Shen Nian was just a young girl, even a year younger than him. Even if she had been working with Lu Lingchuan for a few years, how much progress could she have made in such a short time?

Her alcohol tolerance was likely just average.

If she got drunk, it would be easier to do anything.

He didn't know how much she had drunk, but he himself was already a little tipsy, much more boastful than before, and President Zou was also slightly intoxicated.

Shen Nian was wearing black-rimmed glasses, but they couldn't conceal her delicate features and fine facial features. The glasses even added a touch of maturity and professionalism to her.

At this moment, her beautiful eyes were filled with drunkenness, and she swayed her head, her movements unsteady.

It's done.

Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Zou Zhijie showed a triumphant smile, staring at Shen Nian's face with infatuation, and said,

"Assistant Shen, my uncle told me that your company is very eager to cooperate with our Zou Group and is even willing to lower your standards."

Shen Nian's eyes were eight-tenths drunk and only two-tenths clear. She put one hand on her forehead and didn't speak.

Zou Zhijie didn't insist on waiting for her answer, but continued, "This project... may be a bit difficult. In fact, besides your Lingrui Group, there are two other companies that are also interested in cooperating with us..."

He didn't finish his sentence, but just shook his head, pretending to be troubled.

Shen Nian caught his meaning and remained silent.

"However..." Zou Zhijie changed the subject, and there was more to come.

"Assistant Shen, you should have noticed that I'm a little interested in you. If you can express your sincerity, I can discuss it with my uncle..."

As he said this, his hand reached out to touch Shen Nian's hand.

Just as he was about to make contact, Shen Nian naturally avoided it, and her peripheral vision immediately turned to look at President Zou.

President Zou was sitting in his seat, sitting upright and maintaining a cold demeanor.

He had heard what Zou Zhijie had just said, but he didn't interrupt.

That is to say, he tacitly approved of his nephew's words.

No wonder the uncle and nephew had come up with so many irresistible reasons to get her to drink. It turns out they wanted to bully her.

Zou Zhijie had made his intentions very clear. Whether the two companies could cooperate had nothing to do with Lu Lingchuan and President Zou, but depended on Shen Nian.

As long as Shen Nian succumbed to being bullied, the project would definitely go through; if Shen Nian refused, the Zou Group had plenty of other partners to choose from.

Shen Nian lowered her gaze and concealed the complexity in her eyes.

When she looked up again, her eyes were still filled with the drunken haze. She pretended not to understand Zou Zhijie's hint and simply said, "If that's the case, I need to report this to President Lu immediately."

As she spoke, she put her hand in her bag to take out her phone.

But as soon as she took it out, the phone was snatched away by Zou Zhijie and pushed to the center of the rotating dinner table, far away from Shen Nian.

"Assistant Shen, why are you so naive? It doesn't matter whether you report to President Lu or not. What matters is whether we can cooperate, and that depends on you, Assistant Shen. I heard from my uncle that you are President Lu's most trusted right-hand person, and you have helped him win many tricky projects. I'm sure you are completely loyal to President Lu..."

"As long as you give the nod, we can also fulfill your loyalty to President Lu once again..."

Taking advantage of Lu Lingchuan's absence, Zou Zhijie blurted out everything he should and should not have said.

Knowing Shen Nian's unwavering loyalty to Lu Lingchuan, he deliberately brought up Lu Lingchuan.

Shen Nian looked at the phone that had been thrown to the center of the table, her gaze heavy.

She had already guessed that as soon as she took out her phone, it would be snatched away, so during those few seconds when her hand went into the bag, she had pressed the emergency hotkey several times to activate the emergency dialing.

Her only emergency contact person was one person.

.....................

Outside, Lu Lingchuan was on the phone with someone in the capital.

Just then, Li Mingshi received a strange call, and as soon as she answered, abusive language came from the other end.

【You're Lu Lingrui's mother, right? Your daughter deserved to die!】

【Why are you dressing so nicely at such a young age? Is it just to seduce men? So pretentious!】

【Your psychological endurance is so low, right? Just because she was violated, you had to go and throw yourself off a building? It's good that she's dead, because she would have jumped off a building for other reasons in the future anyway.】

【Hahaha hahaha hahaha...】

These words trampled on every bottom line of Li Mingshi. Hearing them, she directly collapsed.

In addition to the endless calls, there were also various bombarding text messages, with more than a hundred coming in just a minute!

They were all kinds of sarcastic and derogatory remarks, saying that Lu Lingrui's suicide was deserved, and that she had brought it upon herself by making a plastic friend who abandoned her.

Saying...

Li Mingshi directly fainted from anger.

Her phone number had been maliciously leaked.

In addition, the incident regarding Lu Lingrui from years ago had also been maliciously exposed.

Someone had bribed many marketing accounts to start reporting the incident on a large scale, and they even released the chat records between Wang Yong's wife.

Marketing account: 【Hello, is it true that your husband Wang Yong assaulted a young lady five years ago?】

Wang Yong's wife: 【Yes, my husband is still being detained.】

Wang Yong's wife: 【My husband committed this foolish act when he was drunk, and although it was not intentional, we acknowledged our mistake. But the other party has been relentless in pursuing us. 】

Wang Yong's wife: 【We are willing to make compensation, but the other party insists on having my husband killed! They have also lost their daughter, how can they bear to make me lose my husband and my in-laws lose their son? They are too heartless! And their daughter didn't die at the hands of my husband, it's not like he incited her to commit suicide.】

【We've been harassed by them for five years, isn't the compensation we've made enough?】

Though it was their fault, they still pretended to be extremely aggrieved.

Even the comments below were particularly damaging to the moral principles.

【Is that necessary? Although they made a mistake, it's not to the point of deserving death, right?】

【Rape is usually only punished with around three years in prison, they've been tormented for five years, isn't that enough?】

【Can't you just look forward? Is it meaningful to keep clinging to their tiny mistakes?】

These usernames were all long strings of numbers, clearly bought water army accounts.

Just a glance could tell that this was the other party's new round of attack - using public opinion to suppress the Lu family.
