Miss Lu Turned Her Back, Her Six Brothers Begged for Forgiveness - Chapter 69:

Chapter 69: Do You Know Who Lu Ning Is?

Qin Xiang’s smile froze. She had thought they came for her. It turned out they were looking for that wretched Lu Ning!

Forcing a smile, Qin Xiang said, “She left right after work.”

“You didn’t invite her?”

“Of course, I did invite Sister Ning, but she didn’t want to have dinner with me. She doesn’t get along very well with the company staff either.” Qin Xiang explained pitifully, “I really tried my best.”

Lu Liu’s tone softened, “I know how bad Lu Ning’s temper is, but I didn’t expect her to actually go to the branch office to handle that issue. Let’s see how long she can stick with it.”

Lu Nanfeng smiled bitterly, “I was the one who persuaded her to go. Right now, she’s the only one who can solve the firewall problem.”

“Second Brother, Lu Ning’s doing this on purpose. Why bother forcing her to go to the company? At worst, we can just drop the project.”

“That project has so much investment in it. How can we just give it up? Business isn’t child’s play where you can throw a tantrum and quit. Your livestream company is losing money too. You’d better start worrying about how you’ll explain to Big Brother after losing the finals.”

Lu Nanfeng left disappointed. Since Lu Ning wasn’t here, there was no point in staying for dinner.

A flash of embarrassment passed through Qin Xiang’s eyes. Was Lu Ning really that important?

Lu Liu was a little angry, “Second Brother is getting more and more biased toward Lu Ning.”

Qin Xiang gritted her teeth, “After all, Lu Ning is his biological sister. Of course, he’ll soften.”

“Even if she’s biological, she can’t be so lawless. I don’t believe Lu Ning has what it takes to fix that issue.”

Lu Liu refused to believe Lu Ning could handle the project. He figured Second Brother had just given her an empty title.

In the end, Qin Xiang led Lu Liu to dinner with the company staff, soaking up all the attention.

After getting in the car, Lu Nanfeng pulled out his phone and sent a message to Lu Ning, “How was your first day at the company? If anyone bullies you, make sure to tell me right away!”

Lu Ning had just returned to her apartment when she received the message from her Second Brother. She glanced at it, feeling no emotion, and didn’t reply.

After dinner, Lu Ning lay on her bed to rest. She instinctively opened the chat window with Ji Chiqian. After a moment’s hesitation, she couldn’t help but send a message, “Master, what are you doing?”

After sending it, she nervously stared at the phone screen. She felt a little strange herself.

Even after her shower, there was still no reply from Ji Chiqian. Lu Ning sighed. Was she being too obvious? She regretted sending the message.

That night, she hardly slept. The next morning, with dark circles under her eyes, she got up.

Ji Chiqian still hadn’t replied.

Feeling gloomy, Lu Ning changed clothes and went to the branch office.

Once she got there, she turned on her computer and started coding. She had personally tested the software yesterday and had a rough grasp of the issue. Although she had fixed this problem in her previous life, it had been a long time, so she needed to retest it.

“Newbie, you’re here early today. Regretting not going to the dinner last night? Trying to make a good impression today?”

Lu Ning ignored him completely.

The greasy team leader slammed his hand on the desk, angry, “Hey newbie, I’m talking to you! What kind of attitude is this?”

“Whatever attitude you give me, that’s the attitude you’ll get back. Evening dinners aren’t mandatory for employees. I didn’t want to go, so I didn’t!” Lu Ning’s tone was firm.

Other colleagues heard the commotion and quietly gave Lu Ning a thumbs-up. Young people nowadays really were shaking up the workplace!

The greasy team leader was furious, “Newbie, don’t act so arrogant. Did you finish the documents I gave you yesterday?”

“No.” Lu Ning said calmly, “Those aren’t part of my job description.”

“You’re in the technical department. How could that not be your job?”

“My job is to handle messes, like the firewall issue.”

Her tone was cold. She didn’t even bother pretending anymore. She just wanted to fix the firewall and leave. She had no intention of working here for real.

The greasy team leader had never seen such an arrogant newbie before—on just the second day!

He was trembling with rage, “I’m going to the manager and have you fired right now!”

“Go ahead, try it.”

Lu Ning didn’t even look up, continuing to write code.

Her slender fingers danced across the keyboard, lines of code filling the screen.

Soon, the greasy team leader stormed out of the office, shooting Lu Ning a glare, “Don’t get cocky. If you can’t fix the firewall, you’re out. I’ll see what you’re capable of.”

“Don’t worry. I’m more capable than you.”

Lu Ning didn’t hold back at all.

When Qin Xiang arrived at the company, she was dressed head-to-toe in designer brands, still looking like a wealthy young lady as she greeted everyone.

She caught a glimpse of the code on Lu Ning’s screen and felt a bad premonition. If Lu Ning really solved the firewall issue, wouldn’t Second Brother favor her even more?

A calculating glint appeared in Qin Xiang’s eyes. She wouldn’t let Lu Ning succeed. Her gaze fell on the greasy team leader, and she instantly had an idea.

Lu Ning worked nonstop all day, skipping lunch, and finally finished the code. She stretched her neck. If the tests passed tomorrow, she wouldn’t have to come back.

She really didn’t want to be involved with the Lu family anymore.

As she packed up to leave, the greasy team leader said sarcastically, “The technical department never leaves on time. Newbie, don’t you know the rules? Taking the company’s money means you should contribute.”

Lu Ning ignored him, “You love overtime but still can’t fix the firewall. If you’re not competent, working overtime forever won’t help.”

“You brat, who are you calling incompetent? Want to try me?”

Lu Ning slapped him across the face, “Men like you—useless and harassing female colleagues—don’t even bother looking in the mirror. You think you deserve anything?”

Everyone in the office turned to look.

The greasy team leader, used to bossing people around, didn’t expect a newbie to dare lay a hand on him.

He immediately reached out to strike back.

A hand grabbed his arm firmly, “Who gave you permission to raise your hand?”

Lu Ning looked up in surprise. It was Lu Liu.

Based on past experience, Sixth Brother would usually just watch her get bullied. That’s how it was in her previous life.

With Lu Liu’s appearance, the greasy team leader immediately shrank back, “Young Master Lu, I… I was just disciplining a newcomer.”

“This is a company, not a place for fights,” Lu Liu said coldly. After all, Lu Ning was his sister. If anyone had the right to scold or hit her, it should be him. What right did an outsider have?

Lu Liu shoved the greasy man aside, “Do you even know who she is?”

These people dared lay hands on the true daughter of the Lu family? Outrageous!
