Chapter 9 - Chapter 9: Dealing with Hungry Wolves

"Oh! So you also have the authority to order the security to throw people out too?" Leng Pan asked.

"If that person is just another woman trying to climb into the CEO's bed, why not?" She replied with a matter-of-fact attitude.

This was really an eye-opener for Leng Pan. She had read many scenarios in novels but never expected that she would experience it herself.

She was no longer interested in surprising Lu Zhen anymore. She just decided to call him.

She took her phone from her bag and dialled his private number.

Seeing her making the phone call the woman couldn't keep quiet. "Who are you calling now?"

"Your CEO of course. Otherwise, how am I going to climb in to his bed if I don't get to see him?" Leng Pan replied.

Those who heard her were shocked by her boldness. Actually claiming to want to climb into the CEO's bed.

However, there were clever ones who realized that she might really know the CEO. They didn't want to be caught in the crossfire and chose to leave. They could get the gossip about the result in the company group chat.

Someone will definitely share.

Like always, the phone was picked up almost immediately.

"Panpan!" Lu Zhen had just finished a meeting and was about to ask his assistant to bring him lunch when his phone rang.

He had a special ringtone for Leng Pan so he picked it up immediately. He was puzzled why she would call him at this time. He thought she needed something from him. She had been acting strange the past few days and he couldn't understand why.

But such a change was good for him because it brought the woman he loved more than his life closer to him.

So he didn't care what caused the change.

"Did something happen? Do you need something from me?" He asked the questions in succession.

"Yes, I need something from you." Leng Pan replied.

"What do you need? Just say the word." Lu Zhen was happy that she needed him for something at least.

"Well, I came to have lunch with you but was stopped in the reception and someone even told me that even if I brought you drugged food, I still won't be able to climb in to your bed. So, I was thinking I should just dumb the food and leave."

Before she could finish speaking, she heard a chair being pushed on the end of the call and Lu Zhen's voice came. "Wait for me where you are. I'll the there in a minute." He hung up the phone and rushed into his exclusive elevator.

He was overjoyed that Leng Pan had come to have lunch with him, but also mad that someone said something so disrespectful to her. How could they compare her to those promiscuous women.

He had to teach whoever said such nonsense to her a lesson they would not forget.

The woman who tried to chase Leng Pan away was first taken aback when she heard her call, but then assumed she was putting on a show.

"Even if you pretend to call the CEO, that still won't change the fact that you are just a cheap whore trying to climb into his bed. You should scram before you embarrass yourself even further."

Those were the words Lu Zhen heard when he walked out of the elevator. He was so angry that he wanted to kill someone.

How dare someone as insignificant as a simple employee in his company talk such trash to his beloved woman?

Some people, especially the receptionist had already noticed Lu Zhen when the elevator door opened.

The woman had her back to the elevator and was too preoccupied to hear it.

"Go to the HR department and get your pay then leave my company. I don't want to see you again." Lu Zhen said with an icy expression.

When she heard that voice, the woman turned around and was shocked to see Lu Zhen walking towards Leng Pan.

"But CEO, this woman is just trying to carry favor and get close to you… " before she could finish her sentence, Lu Zhen cut her off.

"She could want this entire company and I would give it to her, what is wanting to get a little closer to me? There is no need to go to the HR. Security, throw her out. I don't want her to dirty my company." He gave the order and turned to Leng Pan.

As soon as he saw her, his expression had an 180° change and softened to the point it could melt. In a soft voice he said, "Sorry you had to experience that. You could've called me and avoided all this drama."

"But I wanted to give you a surprise." Leng Pan said with a pout.

"I am still surprised you came to the company to have lunch with me." He said as he took her hand and headed to the elevator. He pressed the button for the top floor and the two walked into the elevator hand-in-hand.

The people left outside had yet to come back to their senses. They only reacted when they heard the woman who was giving Leng Pan a hard time screaming as security guards pulled her out.

"The CEO can actually have such a soft gaze?" One person asked.

"He can speak so softly to another human being?" Another employee asked emotionally.

"And he can hold a woman's hand?" It was the receptionist who asked this.

"It looks like the CEO is not an unemotional machine. It's just that the wrong people have been seducing him. He already has someone in his heart and has no space for another." Another female employee said with a dreamy smile.

"I remembered her face. Everyone remember never to offend her. Otherwise your end will be the same as Liu Ming." A man from the secretariat department cautioned.

Liu Ming was the woman who had been thrown out.

"That's true." The others agreed in unison.
