Chapter 45 - Apologizing in Person!

Lin Luoluo’s eyes brimmed with deep worry.

“Let’s take a break for now.”

After speaking, she strode out of the room.

Then, the others also left one after another.

As soon as Zhou Yu walked out of the meeting room, he was stopped by Lin Luoluo’s secretary.

“Ms.

Lin requests your presence in her office.”

Zhou Yu followed the secretary to Lin Luoluo’s office.

Lin Luoluo waved her hand, and the secretary left.

She looked at Zhou Yu with a complex expression, her tone unusually gentle.

“Thank you for just now.”

Zhou Yu chuckled:

“No need to thank me, it was the right thing to do.”

“How were you so sure Director Zhang would come because of the report call earlier?”

Lin Luoluo looked at Zhou Yu with expectancy in her eyes.

Zhou Yu shrugged.

“I wasn’t certain, it was just a gamble.

I didn’t believe that the entire Fire Department was corrupt.”

“It seems my bet paid off.”

Just now, Zhou Yu had stood up for her in the meeting room and summoned Zhang Guoqiang with just a phone call.

It was a falsehood to say Lin Luoluo wasn’t touched.

Even so, she suspected whether Zhou Yu knew Zhang Guoqiang.

It turned out Zhou Yu was simply gambling.

And she was the stake in that bet.

In an instant, any favorable impression Lin Luoluo had accumulated towards Zhou Yu was wiped clean.

Lin Luoluo said angrily:

“A bet?

You think you won?”

“Liu Mingyuan and his people are so brazen because they must have backers.

Without evidence and only Chang Yuan’s word, Director Zhang probably can’t do much to him.”

Zhou Yu calmly replied:

“We’ll know if there’s a way this afternoon.”

“You—”

Zhou Yu’s response inexplicably infuriated her, yet his words also made perfect sense.

Lin Luoluo forced herself to calm down.

“What was that slap earlier about?”

“That beast did that to you, and I only slapped him once.

I think it was too little,” Zhou Yu said coldly.

Lin Luoluo glared at Zhou Yu.

“I’m talking about the slap on the table.”

“How can you have so much strength?”

“Oh, that.

Hmm, kids from the mountains are naturally strong, of course, I also practiced some martial arts.”

Hearing this, Lin Luoluo’s face showed a pensive expression.

She seemed to be deep in thought.

That day, the entire Lin Corporation was on tenterhooks, and soon, the afternoon arrived.

At three o’clock, the Fire Department’s vehicles once again entered Lin Corporation’s gates.

All of Lin Corporation’s employees’ hearts leapt into their throats.

Yang Hao immediately gathered everyone, ready for confrontation.

Lin Luoluo nervously went down to the lobby.

Soon, the Fire Department’s personnel poured in.

Zhang Guoqiang personally, pushing Liu Mingyuan, advanced towards Lin Luoluo.

Seeing this scene, Lin Luoluo’s face turned ashen.

It seemed like a bad turn of events.

However, just then, Zhang Guoqiang spoke.

“Ms.

Lin, we’ve cleared up the situation.

I didn’t expect such a scoundrel in our system, and I truly apologize.

I’ve brought Liu Mingyuan personally to make amends.”

“Ah?

An apology?”

Lin Luoluo was stunned.

Zhang Guoqiang looked down at Liu Mingyuan and sternly ordered:

“Aren’t you going to hurry up and apologize to Ms.

Lin?”

At that moment, Liu Mingyuan was downcast, his eyes full of pleading.

If his legs weren’t crippled, he would have hated not to be able to kneel.

“Ms.

Lin, I was wrong.

I was blind and led astray by lust.

I deserve death.

Please, I beg you to spare me.”

Lin Luoluo was floored.

The Deputy Chief of the Yancheng Fire Department was pleading to her in such a manner.

This…

Not only Lin Luoluo, but even Yang Hao, prepared to create more trouble, was dumbstruck.

“To commit such an act and still seek forgiveness, what wishful thinking,” Zhang Guoqiang said coldly.

“I am officially announcing that Liu Mingyuan is expelled from the ranks of the Yancheng Fire Department.

From now on, anyone who dares to abuse their power will face the same fate; I will be unrelenting.”

“Get this scoundrel out; don’t let him defile this place.”

Liu Mingyuan didn’t even have the chance to beg for mercy before he was directly wheeled out.

Zhang Guoqiang expressed his apology again.

“Ms.

Lin, Lin Corporation’s construction quality is well-regarded in Yancheng; I have investigated this.

To express my apologies, I will ensure priority review for Lin Corporation’s future projects, as a small compensation.”

“Thank you, Director Zhang!”

Lin Luoluo was overjoyed.

With Zhang Guoqiang saying these words, everyone knew what it meant; it signified that Lin Corporation’s future projects would have a smooth path.

With this statement, Lin Luoluo’s prestige skyrocketed without measure.

After a few more words, Zhang Guoqiang left with his people.

As the Fire Department personnel withdrew completely, the shareholders of Lin Corporation all breathed a sigh of relief.

This day had been fraught with tension.

Finally, there was a happy ending without any danger.

However, while some rejoiced, others were troubled.

Yang Hao’s expression turned extremely ugly.
