Chapter 29: I Don’t Want the Position of Director of the Business Department at Lu Corporation

After Lu Chengze finished speaking, his entire demeanor relaxed.

With Jian Yao stepping in, the Li Corporation side shouldn’t be a problem.

At least, for the sake of the Jian family, Mr. Li wouldn’t go so far as to expose this matter to the media.

Lu Chengze’s tightly furrowed brows relaxed, and he was certain that Jian Yao wouldn’t refuse his request.

In the face of Lu Chengze’s unwavering belief and expectant gaze, Jian Yao firmly shook her head.

“Mr. Lu, you’re a busy man, you might have forgotten, the warehouse doesn’t fall under my jurisdiction. For this kind of situation, you should go to Manager Liu.”

If it were truly a small issue, Assistant Lin and Lu Chengze wouldn’t have called her back so urgently.

Combining the fact that Uncle Li asked her and Lu Chengze if they had truly broken up on their engagement day, Jian Yao could easily guess Uncle Li’s intentions.

Lu Corporation must have been at fault, but he also wanted to use this incident to put pressure on Lu Corporation and support her.

At this moment, Jian Yao couldn’t betray Uncle Li and chill his heart for the sake of Lu Chengze.

Lu Chengze looked up at Jian Yao, his brows furrowed, “This project was originally your responsibility, why is it such a big deal to ask you to handle it?”

He hadn’t been able to eat or sleep properly these past few days, and now the company was in trouble, his mood and state were extremely bad.

Hearing Jian Yao’s words, he took a deep breath and let out a sigh, “Besides, you know that Liu Yaozong doesn’t understand anything!”

Jian Yao looked at Lu Chengze in front of her, the impatience on his face overlapped with the expression he had every time they argued about Liu Yiyi.

No difference.

So naturally, so recklessly, he blamed everything on her.

Jian Yao suddenly felt like her years of persistence and forbearance were naive and ridiculous.

Then, she really laughed out loud.

“So Mr. Lu knows that Liu Yaozong doesn’t understand anything?”

She curled her lips, “Then why did you put him in such a high position?”

Tired?

Anyone in this company who worked overtime because of this incident had the right to say they were tired.

Only Lu Chengze didn’t.

Because he deserved it!

Lu Chengze widened his eyes, looking at Jian Yao in disbelief, “Are you blaming me?”

It was just a matter of making a phone call to Mr. Li, for Jian Yao, it was just a small favor.

When did she become so petty?

Jian Yao looked at him calmly, “I’m just stating facts.”

Back then, when Lu Chengze wanted Liu Yaozong to take over the warehouse, everyone advised him to think carefully.

He was the one who abused his power and acted recklessly, now that things have gone wrong, he should bear the responsibility himself.

Jian Yao clenched her phone in her hand, her tone devoid of any ripples, “I can’t help you with the project, I came here today to let you know.”

She looked directly into Lu Chengze’s eyes, her words clear and distinct, “I don’t want the position of Director of the Business Department at Lu Corporation.”

She was specially recruited, she didn’t go through the company’s HR department, so now that she’s leaving, she doesn’t need to submit a resignation letter, she just needs to inform Lu Chengze.

This job was neither her hobby nor her forte, she was able to do it until now because of her infatuation with Lu Chengze and using her family’s connections to pave the way for him.

She was foolish in the past, but in the future, she doesn’t want to do these thankless things anymore.

Lu Chengze looked up at Jian Yao in front of him, “What did you say?”

She didn’t want the position of Director of the Business Department?

Then what did she want?

“The position of the Lu Corporation’s Business Department Director? I don’t want it.”

“The President’s Secretary?”

All these years, she still couldn’t let go of Liu Yiyi, and every chance she got, she tried to drive Liu Yiyi out of the Lu Corporation.

Lu Chengze showed a look of disappointment, “Jian Yao, can you stop making a fuss? I’m really tired.”

“You have everything, why do you have to compete with Liu Yiyi? If I fire her to make room for you, how will she live in the future…”

“Lu Chengze.”

Jian Yao interrupted Lu Chengze’s words. She had never felt that a person could be so difficult to communicate with.

“What I mean is, I’m leaving the Lu Corporation.”

She didn’t want the position of Director of the Lu Corporation’s Business Department, and she didn’t want the position of President’s Secretary either.

She was leaving the Lu Corporation, leaving Lu Chengze.

She didn’t want to be involved with the Lu family anymore, and she didn’t want to be a pawn in Lu Chengze and Liu Yiyi’s game.

Lu Chengze sat there, his impatient expression hadn’t had time to disappear before it froze on his face.

His eyes fixed on Jian Yao’s face, as if confirming whether what she said was true or false, “Are you sure?”

It’s easy to leave, but it’ll be hard to come back in the future!

“Jian Yao, there’s never been anything inappropriate between me and Liu Yiyi. How many times do I have to say it before you believe me?”

“I take care of Liu Yiyi because she saved me before, so I treat her like a sister.” He pursed his thin lips, his impatience fading, and he still had a cold face.

“You’re my fiancée, and you’ll be my wife in the future. If you can’t even understand this, even if we get married, our marriage might be difficult to maintain.”

“Then in Mr. Lu’s opinion, what exactly constitutes crossing the line?” Jian Yao’s lips curled into a mocking smile.

“Her job, the house in her name, the car, the clothes and jewelry she wears, even her brother’s job, which one wasn’t solved by you?” Jian Yao looked coldly at the man she had loved for many years, her heart aching.

Liu Yiyi has already achieved great success, what more does she want?

“Do you have to catch them in bed before it’s considered crossing the line?”

“Jian Yao!” Lu Chengze yelled, “Don’t go too far!”

“Too far?” Jian Yao sneered, “You can do it, are you afraid of me saying a few words?”

“All these years, you’ve missed me so many times because of a phone call or a message from Liu Yiyi, you probably can’t even count them yourself, right?”

She was stupid, clinging to the past affection, being ridden on her head without knowing how to resist, making Liu Yiyi’s appetite grow bigger and bigger, and Lu Chengze couldn’t recognize himself anymore.

“Fiancée? Don’t insult those three words.”

Jian Yao looked at Lu Chengze’s ugly face, suppressing the emotions surging in her heart, her expression was serious as never before.

“Our relationship, the moment you left me to find Liu Yiyi in Shanghai, was completely severed.”

This relationship, started unclearly, ended hastily, it can be considered a beginning and an end.

After Jian Yao finished speaking, she walked straight towards the door.

Behind her, Lu Chengze looked at Jian Yao’s back, the calmness in his eyes cracked inch by inch.

He felt an inexplicable surge of panic in his heart, as if a huge stone was pressing on his chest, making him breathless.

He felt like he should say something, to stop her from leaving.

He also felt that Jian Yao was being unreasonable this time, completely disregarding the big picture, and she needed to be left alone for a few days.

Otherwise, she would only get worse next time.

In the end, he didn’t say anything, and he watched Jian Yao’s figure disappear from sight.

The nameless fire in his heart was almost burning him up.

As the door closed, he finally couldn’t hold back, and he swept everything on the table to the floor.

The blue crystal strawberry bear pendant smashed to the ground, breaking into two pieces, the bear’s head with its upturned smile seemed to be mocking.
