Boss Lu: A reborn life is destined to be without regrets!-Chapter 293 - 219. Moral Clause
Chapter 293: 219. Moral Clause
"Ah?"
The next morning at Golden Stone Media.
Mou Keyan blinked, her two front teeth playing near the lower half of her cherry lips.
This was still the first time she had encountered such gossip about someone close to her, leaving her with mixed feelings.
A small part of her thought that with Jiang Yu’s character, it really wasn’t surprising she would do something like this, while a larger part found it somewhat unbelievable.
"Cheated on again, and the gift hung up to sell at the seafood market as second-hand... Really? Can it be that bad?"
"It’s that bad."
"He said he remembers very clearly, on September 23rd he accompanied her shopping, and the evening he gave her the gift, it ended up at the seafood market."
Lu Jincheng nodded, his tone sympathetic.
"By that calculation, she didn’t even wear it once."
"... September 23rd?"
Mou Keyan felt that the date sounded familiar.
So instinctively, she dug out her phone from her bag, her freshly manicured nails sliding across the screen, flipping through her own timeline until she finally found that day.
"I remember now! That day we were shopping too, I’d just gotten back to the dorm, when she came up to ask me if the studio was still hiring." freewёbn૦νeɭ.com
"Because she saw your Cartier?"
Lu Jincheng crossed his arms, a look of "I knew there had to be a reason" on his face.
"...She definitely saw it, but whether that’s the reason, I’m not sure."
Mou Keyan shrugged eloquently, her words dripping with polite restraint.
But she knew the truth clear as day.
The battlefield of female competition is everywhere.
At that time, Jiang Yu harbored a bit of a comparative heart.
She thought she deserved everything Mou Keyan owned.
That’s why she broke down after comparing their lives, and in a fit of rage, hung the Armani bracelet from her admirer at the seafood market, unloading her emotions.
That old saying.
Women are keen to compare, yet also loathe comparison.
It wasn’t until after she actually passed the interview and officially joined Golden Stone Media, becoming part of the company, that Jiang Yu started to see herself more clearly.
As just another passerby, the company only offered her the most basic contract, the most entry-level staff to coordinate with.
Not to mention the boss giving her gifts personally, she didn’t even have a chance to get close to Mr. Lu.
Let alone expect treatment like Mou Keyan’s, wishful thinking, right?
She realized her own limits and, after Mou Keyan started driving the Porsche given by the boss, she thoroughly extinguished that hidden spirit of comparison.
So she worked her butt off, cultivating her live broadcasting on the Panda platform, racking her brains for new paths.
The chance of clinging on to the boss’s coattails was slim, she could only rely on herself.
She wanted to change her fate through her career.
And in fact, riding the wave of effort, she did just that.
Panda platform had no shortage of capable big shots, not to mention throwing money around, far outstripping a mere student like Qiang Zhihao by light years.
Having affairs with multiple men?
Let’s not put it in such an ugly way.
Before getting married, they’re all just Plan BCD.
Please, it’s not like we’re registered, aren’t you being a bit too nosy?
Surely you can’t stop me from chasing better prospects, can you?
The increasingly indifferent her incited extreme dissatisfaction and suspicion in Qiang Zhihao, finally exploding during a dinner.
Qiang sneakily took note of her phone unlock code, seized the opportunity, and snatched her phone.
He discovered the secrets buried under Jiang Yu’s iceberg.
"Then what? What does Qiang Zhihao plan to do?"
Mou Keyan exclaimed in surprise at Jiang Yu’s nonchalant demeanor in the dorm, while also curiously pressing on.
"Last night a few of us went out for a barbecue, Qiang Zhihao got absolutely wasted, just cried the whole time, didn’t say a word about what he plans to do next."
Lu Jincheng rubbed his eyes, spread his hands, and showed a speechless expression.
Although his roommate’s romance had nothing to do with Mr. Lu, he always had a bit of pity for their misfortune and anger at their not fighting back.
"Is that so..."
"But, you know, I think being behind in the times deserved a beating, a low rank deserves to be bullied, and if you don’t even think about retaliating in kind, what else can you do? Just resign yourself to fate."
"Retaliating in kind?"
Mou Keyan paused, not quite understanding the term.
"After being played with like a dog, going in circles, shouldn’t Jiang Yu also pay a price?"
Lu Jincheng leaned back in his executive chair, striking a carefree pose as he lit a cigarette.
"... No, why do you seem so detached, as if it’s none of your business..."
As they spoke, Mou Keyan realized something was amiss.
Does her own boss really think he’s just another onlooker, standing back with arms folded, watching the drama unfold?
"You’re the boss, hey, if he really goes and takes revenge on Jiang Yu, will you do anything about it?"
Gossip is one thing, but Mou Keyan was quite steadfast in her stance.
Company interests can’t be compromised. It’s one thing for Qiang Zhihao to be cuckolded, but if the host Jiang Yu is impacted by this, it becomes another matter.
At the end of the day, the company would be the one to suffer.
"What do you think, how should I handle it?"
Mr. Lu smiled and picked up his teacup, sipping slowly, his tone leisurely and unhurried.
"Jiang Yu hasn’t broken the law, nor has she embezzled money, at most there’s just some ethical issues. Should the company really step in to wipe an employee’s ass for their personal drama?"
"But still... if Qiang Zhihao goes online and posts an essay accusing Jiang Yu of playing several men at once, deceiving feelings, that’s bad for our company’s image, right?"
The Mou Keyan of today considered issues with considerable maturity.
She wouldn’t speculate whether a man might physically attack Jiang Yu, nor would she ponder what Jiang Yu’s psychology was for doing such things.
These had nothing to do with the company, freedom back to freedom, law back to law.
