Madam’s Identities Shocks the Entire City Again

Chapter 3833: After All, This is the Illegal District

The atmosphere in the office was not relaxed either.

Nie Qingru sat on the sofa, took off her wide hat, and placed it on the coffee table before her, revealing her arrogant face.

“How long has it been since we last met?”

She was old, after all, with heavy marks at the corners of her eyes. Coupled with the fact that she had been troubled these past few days, there were obvious dark circles under her eyes.

Nie Qingru was used to being stubborn. She sat with her back straight, and her sharp gaze landed on the man behind the desk, who was reading documents.

“Tsk.”

She sneered, her eyes filled with mockery. “You’re willing to work for her, but it’s a pity she doesn’t like you.”

Lu Zhi’s hand holding the fountain pen paused, drawing a mark of varying depth on the white paper.

He raised his eyes and stretched his body as he leaned against the back of the chair. A trace of sarcasm flashed across his beautiful face as he replied indifferently, “In this aspect, you’re still my senior. Didn’t you willingly come to the illegal district for an irrelevant person?”

Nie Qingru’s eyes immediately darkened. “How dare you speak to me like that.”

Lu Zhi had always been kind on the outside but ruthless on the inside. He rarely made enemies with anyone on the surface, let alone someone with a complicated background like Nie Qingru.

However, Nie Qingru’s words had crossed his bottom line.

He was not afraid of trouble.

He sat up, elegantly took a wet tissue to wipe his slender fingers with a lowered head, and replied casually, “I don’t care about your private matters. It’s best if you don’t ask about my private matters.”

He wiped the remaining ink off his hands before throwing the used wet tissue aside. Then, he casually raised his head and confronted the person, leaving behind a meaningful sentence.

“After all… this is the illegal district!”

Silence.

Nie Qingru’s expression did not look too good as she swallowed her anger.

Lu Zhi’s warning was clear. This was the illegal district, his territory. A strong dragon could not suppress a local snake.

She wasn’t afraid of Lu Zhi, but she didn’t want him to get completely involved in this matter. Otherwise, it would bring her quite a bit of trouble.

After figuring it out, Nie Qingru’s expression softened, and she said sarcastically, “I didn’t expect you to be a romantic.”

They were all decent people.

Even if they didn’t get along with each other, they understood what it meant to stop when it was necessary.

After finishing her sentence, Nie Qingru shut her mouth and sat on the sofa like a Bodhisattva, emitting a deterrent aura.

Lu Zhi did not harp on her words. He fiddled with the fountain pen as if there was something magical about it that attracted him. He did not respond.

Just as the first round of confrontation quieted down, there was a knock on the door.

“CEO Lu, I’m here to deliver coffee.” It was the assistant’s voice.

Lu Zhi raised his eyelids. He glanced at the person sitting on the sofa before saying, “Come in.”

The assistant pushed the door open with a tray. Remembering Jian Jin’s instructions, he kept his head lowered and did not say a word the entire time.

Only after placing the cup in front of Nie Qingru did he say, “Please enjoy.”

Next, he delivered the remaining cup to Lu Zhi’s desk.

The assistant knew Lu Zhi’s leg condition was an inconvenience, so he naturally placed the cup of coffee where he could reach it with his hand. “CEO Lu, your Blue Mountain doesn’t have sugar.”

The coffee emitted steam from the cup. Lu Zhi touched the cup with his fingers, feeling the warmth.

This temperature was a small detail that Jian Jin usually paid attention to when making his coffee. The coldness in Lu Zhi’s eyes dissipated a little, and he gently said, “You can leave.”
