Chapter 429 - 429: Surprise
The staff immediately nodded. “No problem.”
Lu Zhen stood up and checked her clothes and hairstyle in the mirror. She could not be bothered to put on makeup again. Anyway, that leader wanted to see her after work, so there was no need for her to act like she was at work. There was nothing wrong with being relaxed.
Lu Zhen tidied her hair and left the dressing room with the staff. The two of them took the elevator up to the seventh floor and came to a clean and spacious conference hall. A middle-aged man in a light gray suit immediately stood up and smiled apologetically at Lu Zhen. “I’m really sorry to trouble you to come over so late.’
The other party’s attitude was so polite that Lu Zhen was embarrassed to react too coldly. She smiled brightly. “It’s fine.”
“Alright, then I won’t waste Miss Lu’s time. This is a still photo prepared by my lover and daughter. Please sign it for them.” The man placed a poster of Lu Zhen’s heroic female general in “The Great Wall of War” on the table and handed a marker to Lu Zhen.
Lu Zhen looked at her photo and was a little embarrassed. She hurriedly signed her name. The man put away the poster and the two of them stood in front of the simple wall to take a photo. Then, the man said goodbye to Lu Zhen politely. “Then Miss Lu, go back and rest.”
Lu Zhen left the meeting room and looked at the time. It was less than five minutes. This leader was not bad. He did not put on airs and spoke politely. Lu Zhen heaved a sigh of relief and was about to leave when she saw a man standing near the elevator in the corridor.
When the man saw Lu Zhen come out, he turned around. Lu Zhen shouted in surprise, “Song Jia?”
Song Jia walked towards Lu Zhen. Seeing that Lu Zhen looked a little tired, a hint of heartache flashed across his eyes. Then, he handed the cup in his hand to her. Lu Zhen saw that there was a straw on the cup. The wall of the cup was warm to the touch. She tasted it curiously.
It was coconut juice. How did Song Jia know that she liked to drink coconut juice? Oh, Xiaoxiao must have told him.
Lu Zhen’s heart warmed. Just as she was about to speak, Song Jia interrupted her. “I’ll bring you somewhere first. You performed very well in this episode. I’ve prepared a surprise for you.”
Surprise? Today wasn’t a special day. Why would there be a surprise? Lu Zhen looked at Song Jia in confusion. After a moment, she nodded. “Alright, but we have to hurry. Otherwise, Yang Na will be anxious.”
When Song Jia heard the name Yang Na again, he felt depressed. Could it be that in Lu Zhen’s eyes, the surprise he had prepared was so unimportant? The first thing Lu Zhen thought of was that she did not want Yang Na to wait too long. He took a deep breath and hid the complicated emotions in his heart. He said calmly, “Okay.”
The two of them took the elevator, and Lu Zhen did not notice many floors. She was wary of others, but she trusted Song Jia unconditionally. She was not worried that Song Jia would sell her out.
The elevator opened and the two of them turned left. They passed through the corridor and arrived at the door. Song Jia knocked lightly on the door and said to Lu Zhen, “Go in. I’ll wait for you outside.”
“Aren’t you going in?” Lu Zhen was puzzled. Wasn’t it a surprise Song Jia had prepared for her? Didn’t he want to see her reaction?
“I’m not going in. I’ll wait for you outside.” Song Jia’s tone was very certain. At the same time, he looked at Lu Zhen with bright eyes. His gaze was gentle and deep.
Lu Zhen was really confused and nervous. What was Song Jia trying to do by being so mysterious? She bit her lip and hesitated for two seconds before nodding. “Okay.”
Anyway, Song Jia definitely wouldn’t really sell her out. She still believed this. There was no special reason.
Lu Zhen turned the doorknob and realized that the door was not locked. After she opened the door, she saw that it was very dark inside, but a few moon lamps dispelled the dark feeling and created a warm and quiet atmosphere.
She walked into the room and realized that there were many flowers and balloons in the room. There were even star cards hanging from the ceiling. Why did it feel like a children’s room? What was Song Jia’s “surprise’!?
Lu Zhen continued to walk in. As she moved forward, the light became much brighter. Suddenly, she stopped and looked ahead in a daze..
