Song Lan thought about the recent happenings in the studio, mainly involving Luan Shan, and felt a bit moved. However, work is work, and finding a partner shouldn't be delayed! But now, he was facing troubles in his love life, and he was still worried about his friend's lifelong matters. He decided to put it aside for a while.
Luan Shan noticed that Song Lan's expression had improved significantly and cautiously asked, "Have you had a conflict with Manager Zhu recently?"
"No."
"I don't believe it! Before, Manager Zhu was like a tail, always following you. I've inquired, and recently, Manager Zhu hasn't appeared at all. Don't tell me he's on a business trip, I've asked around, and he's been going to the office these past few days."
"How come you're like a secret agent, knowing everything so clearly."
"I'm just showing my concern for you! Tell me, is it because you're too busy with work that you've been neglecting him? Actually, Manager Zhu is quite nice, good-looking, comes from a good family, and despite being a bit silly, he's also capable. I have high hopes for you two."
"I remember you used to dislike him, didn't you?"
"He used to give you a hard time, but after being with you, he's changed and treats you better and better. I'm straightforward, as long as he treats you well, I will think highly of him."
She is a friend of Song Lan, and she hopes that Song Lan can be happy. She is very happy that Zhu Junjie treats Song Lan well, and Luan Shan couldn't ask for more. She will only support the relationship between Song Lan and Zhu Junjie, and will not say anything to sabotage their relationship. She doesn't want to make it difficult for Song Lan. "Don't change the subject with me. Have you been having conflicts with Manager Zhu recently?"
"No. It's just that his company hasn't had any new talent recently, the performance is not good, and the board is pressuring him, so he needs to focus on work recently."
"Manager Zhu doesn't seem like someone who's afraid of the board."
"He wasn't afraid before, because the company's performance was good. Now he doesn't have the capital to go against the board, so it's better for him to be submissive."
"Is your distracted state because Manager Zhu hasn't come, and you're not used to it?"
Song Lan is a rational person; if nothing significant were happening, she wouldn't be lost in thought at work repeatedly.
Song Lan reluctantly said, and Luan Shan didn't ask further. She patted Song Lan's work, "You go send some warmth to Manager Zhu. I'll take care of these matters."
"Luan Shan……"
"Don't refuse. I've finally made up my mind, if you don't help me, I'll be upset."
"Fine! I'll give you a little more of this month's bonus."
The girl's situation felt like a heavy stone pressing on Song Lan's chest, making it hard for her to breathe. She had no mood to deal with work. Song Lan got up, tidied her desk, picked up her bag and Indigo Blue cashmere coat hanging on the back of the chair, draped it over her arm, and walked towards the exit of the studio.
She went to the underground parking lot to pick up the car, checked the time, and realized it was still early before Tong Tong got out of school. She sat in the car for a while, feeling dazed, and opened the message from the girl again.
"Manager Zhu is with you because you have a child together. Now I'm pregnant with his child. I have the same conditions as you, but there's one thing you can never compare to me - I'm younger than you."
"You have your own studio and can support your daughter. Why would you compromise yourself by being with someone who doesn't like you?"
"If you have any doubts about me being the father of the child, we can wait until I'm eight weeks pregnant to do a DNA paternity test."
The girl spoke with an extremely confident tone, full of provocation.
Song Lan I really admire myself for being able to stay so calm when seeing this kind of information, without any hysteria. In the past few days, Zhu Junjie hasn't brought up the girl's matter with her on his own. Song Lan also hasn't asked, as if both of them tacitly agreed not to break that layer of paper.
Her steadfast trust in Zhu Junjie began to waver under the bombardment of information from the girl and Zhu Junjie's silence. She has always been someone who cannot tolerate any deception, and she gave Zhu Junjie enough time on this matter. Zhu Junjie has not given her an explanation, and she has not pressed him for one.
But some things do not cease to exist because they are ignored. Zhu Junjie cannot explain it well; she needs to figure out where the problem lies. Song Lan thought it over and decided to have a good talk with Zhu Junjie this afternoon when she had time. She drove to Gaoqing.
Zhu Junjie had been going to his own company these past few days; he didn't dare to go to the Lanyu Studio, unable to face Song Lan. Not long after starting work today, he called Wei Sheng, saying he wanted to go to the hospital and asked Wei Sheng to conduct a memory loss test for him.
Wei Sheng told him that there was no need for a test; he had no amnesia. Zhu Junjie didn't want to betray Wei Sheng's trust and dismissed the idea of going to Mutau Hospital. However, he still felt uneasy; what if he really did have amnesia?
Thinking this way made him feel guilty towards Wei Sheng. Zhu Junjie tightened his grip on the phone, leaned back in the office chair, and stared blankly at the desk for a while. He remained in that position like a statue for quite some time. After about ten minutes, Zhu Junjie stood up and went downstairs to Hai-City Zongfu Hospital.
Without finding the reason, he couldn't settle down to work. Zongfu Hospital in Hai City is considered a well-known hospital, but its reputation has now fallen behind that of Mutau Hospital. The doctor said that based on his description, there are currently no signs of amnesia, and he can return for a follow-up examination in a week.
Zhu Junjie obtained the doctor's contact information and left the hospital. He did not head home immediately, as he was now filled with guilt. Every time he saw Song Lan and Tong Tong, he felt he deserved to die a thousand times over.
Although he couldn't remember when or under what circumstances he betrayed Song Lan, he still felt that he had done something wrong. Zhu Junjie parked the car on the side of the road, rolled down the window, and smoked one cigarette after another. Since that incident, his craving for cigarettes had become particularly strong.
Even so, he still remembers that Song Lan and Tong Tong don't like the smell of smoke. Before going home, he would tidy himself up to return home clean and fresh.
When Zhu Junjie was in unbearable pain, a car was parked at the street corner with black tinted windows, making it impossible to see inside.
The car remained parked there until Zhu Junjie's car left, and then it started.
In the office of the Wei Group's president, a man in his fifties, resembling Wei Sheng, couldn't help but laugh when he received a call from his subordinate: "Great, the fish has taken the bait. Our Raccoon Dog Plan will soon be successful."
...
Back in the office, Zhu Junjie took out his phone and found a way to contact the girl.
The contact method was found by Assistant Hu. Zhu Junjie has been struggling these past few days about whether to call the girl and ask about the details of their time together. Perhaps through her description, he could remember something. However, every time he was about to dial the girl's number, Song Lan's figure would flash before his eyes.
Zhu Junjie knew that once he called the girl, his relationship with Song Lan would be on the verge of breaking down. Having a call record with her would make it even harder to explain.
