Indulging Mrs. Lu-Chapter 1 - : The Empire’s Youngest Major

"Zhuang Shuqing, do you still want to work here or not! I'm giving you one more day, you must give me a headline-worthy article, or else get the hell out of here immediately!"

"Chief editor, one day is not enough."

"You...!" The chief editor's face hardened as he snatched an invitation from the desk and stuffed it into her hand, "Take this! If I don't see the article first thing tomorrow, don't bother coming back!"

Zhuang Shuqing stood motionless with the invitation in hand while the chief editor turned around, "What are you waiting for? Why aren't you getting dolled up?"

After saying that, the chief editor directly shooed Zhuang Shuqing out.

Zhuang Shuqing looked at the invitation in her hand with a wry smile, glanced at the shut office door, and turned back to her own seat.

Upon opening the invitation, the embossed gold lettering caught her eye, and Zhuang Shuqing suddenly widened her eyes in surprise.

An invitation to the Kairun Group cocktail party!

The Kairun Group was the largest conglomerate in B city, with needless to say substantial financial power. What especially impressed Zhuang Shuqing was that the chairman of Kairun Group had a son who was a coach at a mysterious training base.

She thought, if she could interview this enigmatic young chairman, tomorrow's headline was guaranteed.

The party was held at Seaview Bay in the business center of Imperial City. It was a leisure spot for the upper class; without a gold card, no matter how wealthy you were, you couldn't spend a night there.

After Zhuang Shuqing arrived at Seaview Bay, the cocktail party soon began. She quietly sat to one side with a glass of juice, occasionally taking a sip. Observing the people of the upper class dressed in dazzling attire deftly mingling in the crowd, she couldn't help but feel contemplative.

Today, her long hair was casually draped over her shoulders, with diagonal bangs that just grazed her eyelids, her long eyelashes fluttering, and eyes as sparkly as if they were speaking. Her delicate nose was perfectly proportioned, and her pink cheeks and moist lips were enticing enough to make one want to take a bite.

She wore a simple pink dress without any embellishments, yet it cleverly highlighted her exquisite figure, making her look far from ordinary.

Suddenly, a commotion came from the entrance, and someone in the crowd shouted, "The chairman has arrived!"

Zhuang Shuqing immediately stood up; if the chairman had arrived, then the young chairman must have as well. She promptly put down her glass and walked outside. But just as she turned around, she accidentally bumped into a waiter beside her, spilling the drink he was carrying all over her, dampening her pink dress.

What infuriated her was that the waiter seemed oblivious to what had happened and just kept walking past her.

Zhuang Shuqing looked at the wine stain on her dress with a pulsing vein on her forehead, glanced at the crowd-filled doorway, and silently headed to the restroom. Fortunately, she came prepared today with an extra dress in her bag.

There was a changing room in Seaview Bay's restroom, and Zhuang Shuqing went straight into it.

As the door closed, two people walked in. One of them lowered their voice and said, "He's already gone up. Is everything ready?"

"It's been ready for a while, someone saw him drink the wine."

"Got it."

"Also, with your current popularity, you can't afford a scandal. If the company finds out, I can't protect you either."

"I know, I know. It's not my first time doing this."

At this moment, Zhuang Shuqing in the changing room furrowed her eyebrows slightly. This woman's voice sounded so familiar. However, as she puzzled over this, another voice spoke up.

She said, "Tan Biyang, as your assistant, it's my duty to remind you that what you are doing is courting death."
