Reborn Aristocrat: Oppressing

Qin Ao tightened his grip on the steering wheel and chose to remain silent.

Silence ensued.

Lu Manman also knew that she wouldn’t get an answer from him. She looked away and said, “Let’s go to Lu Firm.”

“Yes.”

He made a U-turn and headed to their destination.

She got out of the car and entered the Lu Firm building.

No matter what happened, such a large company was still in order.

Zhang Cui followed behind her to her office.

“Secretary Zhang, enter my office automation and send out a notice. Don’t slack off in the meeting this morning because of what happened. I don’t wish to disrupt the progress of work because of other matters.” Lu Manman ordered.

“Yes.”

“You can go out now.”

“Director Lu.” Zhang Cui stood respectfully before her. “I happened to hear from a colleague who was giving out the scriptures earlier that Deputy Director Wu Zhengwei had the scriptures specially assigned to him today to provide him with a market estimate.”

“Wu Zhengwei?” Lu Manman looked up.

“That’s right. Deputy Director Wu is in charge of the market, so it’s normal for him to ask about our market indicators. I wonder if that’s what you wanted to know. But other than him, I haven’t heard of any other higher-ups asking about our department’s market indicators.”

“Alright, I understand.” Lu Manman nodded. “You can go ahead with your stuff.”

“Yes.”

Lu Manman watched as Zhang Cui left and hurriedly picked up her cell phone. “Ye Heng.”

“Who is this?”

“Lu Manman.” Lu Manman’s expression darkened. “Could I trouble Young Master Ye to take down my number?”

“Um… alright.” He seemed to be looking for an excuse but could only agree after failing to find one at this point.

“I’m referring to the investigation into Lu Zichuan’s relationship with the Lu Firm. You can target Wu Zhengwei, the deputy director of Lu Firm, first.”

“Are they related?”

“This is what I want you to help me investigate.”

“I thought you found something…”

“It’s just my instinct,” Lu Manman said directly. “Sorry to trouble you. Bye.”

After hanging up, she looked at the computer screen in front of her. However, her thoughts strayed elsewhere, and she was really focused on the computer. She thought for a while, suddenly got up from her chair, and headed to the finance department.

The supervisor of the finance department, Chen Rui, hurriedly got up from his seat. “Director Lu.”

“Give me a copy of the financial statement for the past two years. I need it.”

“I’m sorry, Director Lu. The company’s financial statements can only be submitted with the approval of the chairman. I can’t make the decision on my own.”

“I’ll call my dad now. Get me a list.”

“But we need a signature…”

“Manager Chen, my dad isn’t at work now. Where do you want me to get a signature?!” Lu Manman sounded stern.

Chen Rui was a little hesitant but still declined. “Deputy Director Wu can sign it.”

Lu Manman narrowed her eyes and glared at him.

Chen Rui did not compromise.

They stood there for a minute, and Lu Manman was about to say something when a man’s voice came from behind her. “Is Director Lu ready to skip levels?”

Lu Manman turned around and saw Wu Zhengwei.

Someone tipped him off so quickly?!

She glanced at Chen Rui. His eyes were flickering, and the corners of his mouth were slightly cold.

“The company’s financial statements are confidential, so of course we can’t just let anyone read it. Director Lu might be the chairman’s daughter, but you can’t do whatever you want just because of your status. Don’t we have rules to follow?” Wu Zhengwei said righteously.
