Addicted to My Cutie and Sweetie-Chapter 891: A Fight to the Death

"Hey, why aren’t you saying anything?" Zhang Lingying walked up to him and poked his face.

Lu Jing grabbed her hand, came back to his senses, and chuckled lightly, "Everything’s been dealt with. Let me take you out to eat as a celebration."

"No way." Zhang Lingying mysteriously extended a finger and wagged it at him, "Don’t get too happy too soon. This isn’t over. Lu Xiao definitely won’t just give up without a fight."

"..." Lu Jing frowned slightly.

Zhang Lingying didn’t explain further, waved her hand, sat back on the sofa, and continued eating fruit.

That afternoon, Lu Xiao, who was at the center of public opinion, appeared once more in front of the media.

He first admitted his actions and sincerely apologized to the public, acknowledging that he should not have hired internet trolls to guide public opinion, exploiting people’s compassion for personal gain... The initial words were fine, but toward the end, the tone shifted. He brought up the video of Lu Jing being discharged and moving into Zhang Lingying’s house.

"The video and photos are real. Regardless of who started the topic, at least there’s one thing I didn’t deceive everyone about—that Lu Jing and Qin Technology Group’s senior technician do indeed have an unusual relationship."

Lu Xiao stopped here, sincerely apologized to everyone again, and bowed deeply.

The whole process seemed solemn and sincere, yet very calculating.

He knew his credibility was bankrupt now, and if he kept harping on about Lu Jing and Zhang Lingying’s relationship, it would make him seem like he had ulterior motives.

But he only made that one mention, which sounded not like an intentional lead, but rather an explanation for his own actions.

Coupled with those widely circulated videos and photos, those who watched them could somewhat discern some clues from the interaction between the two.

As a result, the narrative began to shift again.

— I saw that video and those photos. Not to mention anything else, but the two of them in the same frame look great together, a perfect match.

— Honestly, Lu Xiao isn’t a good person, but Lu Jing might not be clean either. The two are equally matched in their schemes.

— This is a real dogfight, nothing but fur flying everywhere.

— Let me explain to everyone, the woman in the video is Qin Technology Group’s senior technician, named Zhang Lingying. I heard she’s directly in charge of core experiments. If she truly has an unusual relationship with Lu Jing, this isn’t a simple matter.

— President of Re Group VS Qin Technology Group senior technician, why do I detect a flavor of love and strife?

— It seems more like an undercover plot to me.

— Zhang Lingying associating closely with a competitor should violate Qin Technology Group’s policies, right?

— Waiting for a statement from Qin Technology Group.

For a moment, external speculation about the two’s relationship grew even more enigmatic.

Lu Jing, as the president of Re Group, the possibility of betraying company secrets for a woman is quite slim.

However, Zhang Lingying, a young woman, finds herself in an awkward position.

Whether blinded by love or bought off by a competitor, neither are positive evaluations for her.

"I’ll have them clear your name under Re Group’s guise, stating that this has nothing to do with you."

Seeing those comments, Lu Jing’s face turned cold. Just as he was about to make a call, out of the corner of his eye, he saw Zhang Lingying walk into the study.

Soon, she came out of the study with a document, took several photos with her phone, mosaicked some critical words, and edited a short piece of text. Under Lu Jing’s astonished gaze, she posted it on her social media account.
