Chapter 91: What Apology Are You Offering?

e usually was in the workplace." 。Saying that, he set out three cups in front of Shu Tinglan and filled them to the brim. 。Even when slightly drunk, he only dared to pick on the weak and wouldn't puni..."Mr. Zhuo, General Manager Wen, yesterday Li Lan acted impulsively and caused you trouble. She has realized her mistake and came here today to apologize specifically. For all the negative consequences this incident has caused, we are willing to take full responsibility. We hope that you two will forgive her. She knows she was wrong."

After she finished speaking, she glanced at Shu Tinglan and motioned for her to apologize.

It's actually absurd to see Zhuo Yunan and Wen Jian, with her apologizing. It's absurd.

But Director Xiao had already helped her so much, just like when she was in school and made a mistake, her mother took her to the teacher's office to apologize, exactly the same. Director Xiao had lowered herself so much for her, how could she let him down

"I'm sorry!" she apologized to Zhuo Yu'an and Wen Jian, then gradually lowered her head.

The lowly head, weighing thousands of pounds, she could even feel the cervical vertebrae creaking and popping in sections.

Zuo Yu'an just stared at her, knowing that the "I'm sorry" behind her words was a broken spine, shattered pride, and endless grievances.

"Shu Tinglan, what kind of apology are you talking about"

He roared, he lost his temper.

It just breaks my heart, Shu Tinglan. Why do you always stab me in the chest You stabbed me yesterday and it wasn't enough, now you come back with another one today.

Everyone was clueless as to why Zhuo Yu'an was so furious. His entire body was visibly tense, and his face was no longer merely cold; it was downright frightening.

He slammed the door behind him.

Shu Tinglan was startled by the sound of the door closing. He finally looked up and met Wen Jian's gaze.

Wen Jian was very calm, as if he didn't know her at all. As he passed Shu Tinglan, he said in a voice only Shu Tinglan could hear

"Putting on a pathetic act, retreating to advance, Shu Tinglan, your tactics are truly masterful, I admire you."

At this moment, Shu Tinglan was completely sober and calm. It wasn't worth it to lose control of her emotions for someone like Wen Jian, it just wasn't worth it.

Director Xiao has worked in the workplace for many years and believes he understands human nature, but this time he is also clueless. Was Zhuo Yu'an's attitude just now accepting the apology or not

Back in the temporary office at Zhuoyuan Technology, Shu Tinglan had fully adjusted her mindset. After so many years, her apprehension towards Wen Jian had suddenly vanished.

It turned out that facing it bravely wasn't as hard as I imagined.

She had been particularly looking forward to this acquisition project ending as soon as possible so she could return to Hong Zheng Law Firm and get away from them, but now she didn't care, it was just a job.

After stopping to avoid, people felt a lot easier.

She, as usual, worked late and left last. In front of Zhuoyu Technology Building, she saw Zhu Y uan, who seemed to have just finished work and was on the phone. When he saw her, his expression paused for a moment.

After hanging up the phone, he walked toward her.

Lu Kuo called and invited me to dinner. Wanna join us

“No, thank you.”

Turn toward the subway entrance.

"Shu Tinglan..." Zhuo Yu'an called out to her.

She turned back, looking at him against the night light. She didn't dodge or hide, just stared at him openly and honestly, with no trace of fluctuation in her eyes.

"Are we still friends" he asked cautiously.

"Hmm." Shu Tinglan nodded and then continued to take the subway home.

"Friend The word hung in the air, laced with a touch of sarcasm," she thought.

Her only true friends were Lin Zhi and Cheng Chen, the others were just acquaintances, politeness, and formalities.

When she got home, she suddenly saw Cheng Chen in front of her apartment door. She thought she was seeing things at first and looked several times before daring to confirm it.

"Don't you recognize me" Cheng Chen smiled, spreading his arms open for her to come.

She ran over with a smile and gave Cheng Chen a big hug. It was truly a case of minds meeting, as she had just been thinking about him on the subway.

"How did you get here"

"Let me see what they've done to you."

Shū Tínglan, this is so pathetic! Tears were about to spill. Just then, another figure poked its head out from the door of the unit and shouted at the two of them.

“Come help out, stop being melodramatic at the door, it's gross.”

Lin Zhi'an, she was carrying a lot of food in her arms, using her little fingers with great difficulty to hook onto a beer bottle, shouting...

“Hurry, hurry and help me, the beer is about to fall!”

Shu Tinglan hurriedly ran over and caught the hanging beer.

This woman rarely comes to Senzhou, tonight we're having hotpot and beer, won't stop drinking until we're drunk.

Three people have entered the elevator. Shu Tinglan looked at the two of them, feeling that life was truly beautiful, and the girls were truly beautiful. She felt so fortunate to have friendships that surpassed familial ties.

Cheng Chen had specially come from Qining to Senzhou to see Shu Tinglan, but seeing that she was fine, she didn't look like she had been bullied at all She didn't need Cheng Chen's comfort at all, and couldn't help but feel...

“If I had known better, I wouldn't have come on this trip. I wasted my feelings for nothing. My daughter Shutinglan has finally grown up.”

"I'm so glad you came, and in front of you, I never have to grow up."

The hot pot steamed with heat, and the ice-cold beer was also very refreshing. With good food and good friends, it's enough.

"Yeah, I'll protect you." Lin Zhifei was willing to spoil her.

“Come on, that’s enough. This whole thing wouldn't have happened if you hadn't impulsively hit Wen Jian. Today, Wen Jian would have been in the wrong, and he would have lost. But by hitting back, and making such a scene, you ended up making Wen Jian look right. Now Shu Tinglan is being targeted by everyone. You meant well, but you messed things up.” Cheng Chen was always more level-headed than them.

"I wouldn't just let Shu Tinglan take a beating for nothing. I can't do that." This was Lin Zhixuan's way of handling problems.

She and Cheng Chen have always been two different styles. She is flamboyant in both her speech and actions, while Cheng Chen is introverted and their ways of doing things are completely different. Shu Tinglan is a combination of the two.

"Well, this is it. Whether it's you or Shushu, both of you have made a mistake. You guys are angry with Wen Jian, so you should settle it privately, not in public where people can catch you."

How to resolve it privately

"What does she value most What does she want most Go and take it back. This is called 'returning evil for evil'. How did she steal your father away back then, and today you will take back what she values." Cheng Chen said darkly.

"Forget it, by doing this, wouldn't I be just like her, with no bottom line She destroyed her own bottom line for her, and she's not even worth it." Shu Tinglan said.

Lin Zhihao and Cheng Chen looked at her, for a long time, the two of them said in unison:

"Shushu, have you noticed the changes in yourself"

What changes

"You are now able to discuss Wen Jian so calmly with us, which shows that you have become desensitized to her."

Upon their reminder, it seems to be true indeed.

Before, she wouldn't even dare to hear, let alone mention the names Wen Jian. But now, she was actually able to discuss him so calmly, which meant that the wounds Wen Jian had left on her heart had healed.

"You're doing the right thing. Wen Jian used to be like a time bomb in your heart, exploding at the slightest touch. Now this is so much better."

I can understand Mr. Zhu's heartache and feelings of helplessness.gency contracts as soon as the year began. The lawyers in the business department all thought she was sure to be promoted to partner this year, just waiting for Lan Xiaoshan's HR order. This made Shu...
