Chapter 138: Face to Face (1)

The following morning.

Lu Manman got out of bed. She had not slept well the whole night due to having lots on her mind.

She washed up and put on some light makeup to make herself look better.

Then, she went downstairs.

Her parents seemed to be waiting for her in the living room.

“Mom, Dad,” she greeted them as she headed to the dining room for breakfast.

Lu Zishan and He Xiuwen ate with her.

“Manman, you came back so late last night. Why are you up so early? Why don’t you rest more?”

“I have something to attend to at the company today,” she casually answered as she took a sip of milk.

“Don’t work too hard,” Lu Zishan said, his heart aching.

“Mm-hm.” Lu Manman nodded and wiped her mouth. “Dad, don’t worry and stay at home with Mom. Don’t worry too much about your case. I’m confident.”

“Manman, you’ve really changed a lot. Dad really doesn’t know if it’s good or bad.” Lu Zishan smiled helplessly.

“Of course it’s a good thing. You don’t have to be so tired anymore in the future.”

Lu Zishan smiled. “No matter what, your health is the most important.”

“I know, Dad.” Lu Manman got up. “Enjoy your meal. I’m going to the company.”

“Drive safely.”

“Alright.”

Lu Manman hurried out of the villa.

Qin Ao was already waiting at the entrance in his car. There were times when she felt that this man was unbelievably well-behaved, just like a computer with a program.

The car drove quite quickly.

When Lu Manman arrived at the company, it was still not time for her to start work yet. She walked into her office. Only after a while did Zhang Cui appear before her and greet her respectfully. “Director Lu.”

“Secretary Zhang, do you know about the pioneering information technology company?”

“I do.” Zhang Cui nodded. “I’ve had several business dealings with this company before. Now that you’re asking, do you need me to do something?”

“Director Zhang is in touch with this company?” Lu Manman frowned.

“Yes. When I was still Director Zhang’s secretary last year, I went to discuss a contract with him regarding pioneering technology. We purchased a portion of sub-electron hardware for the construction of the website.”

“Do you still remember the details of the contract?” Lu Manman was a little agitated, even though she was already tolerating it very well.

Sometimes, she felt that the heavens were not too bad to her. For example, right now, her luck was pretty good.

She had thought of many ways to get to know the company better, but she was also afraid of alerting them if she did that. She was sure that there were a lot of spies around her at this point. In the end, Zhang Cui had to be trustworthy; otherwise, her father would not have arranged for Zhang Cui to be around her.

“If I remember correctly, it should be 112 million yuan, 23 million yuan, and 48 million yuan respectively. It wasn’t long ago, and equipment was urgently needed at the time, so Deputy Director Wu couldn’t have more than 25 million yuan in the contract. That’s why the contract was split,” Zhang Cui said as she recalled.

“Why was it split up?” Lu Manman tried her best to control her emotions.

“Chairman went overseas on a business trip and couldn’t come back to sign the papers. I remember that the hardware and equipment we bought were all given to us in advance and then slowly paid to the company,” Zhang Cui said. “Our Lu Firm has always had a good relationship with them. Deputy Director Wu has been in close contact with the CEO over there for many years, and he should be one of our biggest suppliers now.”

“Alright, I see.” Lu Manman nodded.
