Chapter 34 Reaching Consensus
Since Wen Shiyu was publicly announced as the group's heir, Wen Yiming has been abandoned by his father, who no longer cares whether he goes to the company every day. However, Wen Yiming has been going to the company more frequently because Xia Lan is there.
"Hey, look, that CEO Wen's brother is here again. It seems like he's after us interns." Xiao Ai was still as gossipy as ever.
"That won't do, we have to keep an eye on Mr. Wen's girlfriend," Da Hai said confidently. Judy and Tina chimed in.
Xu Chen, unusually, interjected, "Don't spread rumors about your boss."
Xia Lan sat alone at her workstation in the corner, diligently working on the tasks assigned by Xu Chen, completely unaware that others were gossiping about her and Wen Shiyu.
At this moment, Wen Yiming was looking around at the entrance of Group 7.8, searching for Xia Lan. Xu Chen was also glancing at the entrance from time to time, seemingly waiting for someone as well.
In the past few days, Lu He has been appearing in the group's work area from time to time, ostensibly to inspect their work progress. Everyone knows his true intentions, but no one says it aloud.
Xu Chen's attention was always drawn to this charming woman. Unlike Xia Lan, who was around the same age and had a youthful and energetic vibe, she possessed a maturity beyond her years that was captivating.
"Hey, who's this?" As soon as Lu He got off the elevator, she saw Wen Yiming peeking in at the door and immediately looked disgusted.
Wen Yiming was focused on searching for Xia Lan when the sudden voice behind him startled him. He turned around and, sure enough, it was that unlucky little sister again.
Seeing Wen Yiming turn around with a grim expression, Lu He asked with interest, "What's wrong? Did you come to Groups 7 and 8 to spy on military intelligence? Are you going to report to your good brother Duanmu Cong?"
“Mind your own business with Acong,” Wen Yiming glanced at her with annoyance. “It’s only three days until the 8th, why are you still wandering around here?”
“Yes, that’s right. There are only three days left, so I need to come to Group 7 and 8 more often. It’s such an important celebration, so of course I have to come more often. What about you? Why aren’t you in your own project group? Why are you always coming over here?” Lu He was obviously asking a question she already knew the answer to. How could she not know that Wen Yiming was here for Xia Lan?
"You've lost your memory? Weren't you trying to set me up with Xia Lan?" Wen Yiming's tone became even more impatient: "So you could be all together with your Acong, what are you pretending to be stupid for now?"
"Oh dear, I almost forgot about it if you hadn't mentioned it," Lu He slapped his forehead, then looked apologetic (plus smug): "That doesn't count anymore, Xia Lan is my girlfriend now."
"What nonsense," Wen Yiming clearly didn't believe it. In his view, it was just Wen Shiyu wanting the position of successor and promising not to get married, just an explanation to the board of directors: "You're addicted to acting. Fine, fine, I know. Tell everyone it's your girlfriend. We'll cover for you and Acong from now on."
"..." Lu He pondered briefly. Since she couldn't push Wen Yiming back into Duanmu Cong's camp right now, she decided to play along: "It's good that you know. You should go back first. Don't keep coming here. It's too conspicuous. I'll borrow you on the day of the event on the 8th to help out at the celebration." After saying that, she gestured for Wen Yiming to leave quickly.
Upon hearing this, Wen Yiming naturally knew better and left immediately.
The onlookers in the area naturally glanced over while working, as watching a spectacle is human nature. They didn't know what the eldest son of the Wen family and President Wen were talking about, but it seemed that the two were not on good terms at first, but later they seemed to have eased up a bit.
When Lu He walked in, she naturally felt everyone's secretive gazes on her. However, among these gazes, one was particularly intense. Lu He subtly scanned the area and caught the source of that gaze—Xu Chen.
What's wrong with this person? Lu He wondered to himself.
The system immediately responded: Xu Chen is Wen Shiyu's official love interest.
ha?
Lu He was speechless. Did the second female lead actually have an official love interest?
System: Xu Chen will still fall in love with Wen Shiyu according to the storyline. As for how it develops, that's up to you. Anyway, the side storylines of the second female lead and the third male lead are not your mission objectives. You can follow the storyline and enjoy this sweet romance, or you can go against the storyline and continue to entangle with the female lead.
"What entanglement? Who's entangled with the female lead?"
Lu He was stubborn and refused to admit it.
System: I've already warned you before. In any case, you'll be the one who suffers in the end. Complete the task, leave this comic, and go to the next comic. You will never be able to come back here again, and you will never be able to see Xia Lan again.
Lu He knew perfectly well that this was just a mission, and she kept reminding herself that she could never have any real feelings for Xia Lan. It was just a temporary flirtation under the guise of completing the mission, and it would be easy for her to extricate herself from it.
Moreover, the people in this comic won't be sad about her disappearance after she leaves. She doesn't care what happens to Xia Lan afterward.
System: Keep it up! The mission to break up the male and female leads has been accomplished. Now, all you need to do is defeat the Duanmu Group, and you can move on to the next comic. I'm rooting for you!
After saying this, the system's voice disappeared.
Lu He focused intently as she approached Xia Lan's workstation, gently and meticulously instructing her on her work as always.
Xu Chen, who was not far away, couldn't help but keep stealing glances at her every move, every smile and frown.
