Rebirth in the 90s: Melting My Devoted Mr. Iceberg-Chapter 678: Not Giving Face

"I feel the same way," Cheng Li said with a flattering expression. Although she didn’t recognize the military rank on Lu Ling’s shoulder, she knew Lu Ling must be a cadre. So, she thought that pleasing Lu Ling could only bring her benefits, without any drawbacks.

Moreover, she worked in the same unit as Mu Qiancheng. Knowing people inside would make it easier to find Mu Qiancheng in the future, wouldn’t it?

The two of them chatted as they walked into the unit.

The guard watched Lu Ling bring someone in and called out, "Comrade, wait a moment!"

"What’s the matter?" Lu Ling heard the guard calling her and stopped, looking at him with some displeasure. This guard was obviously new and didn’t recognize her.

"She hasn’t registered yet. Please help her register first," the guard said, walking over to Lu Ling with the registration book. Lu Ling had no choice but to take the pen and help Cheng Li register.

After registering, she took Cheng Li into the unit to look for Mu Qiancheng. But they hadn’t gone far when another gate appeared.

Cheng Li was about to ask why there was another gate when she saw two people emerge from the guardroom, block their way, and say, "Mr. Lu, there’s an order from above not to bring unfamiliar people into the unit."

"When was this order issued? Why don’t I know?" Lu Ling’s face turned sour. She felt she had lost face in front of Cheng Li.

Earlier, Cheng Li had called her a leader. As a leader, not being able to bring someone in was quite embarrassing, wasn’t it?

However, those two blocking their way didn’t care what Lu Ling thought but said directly, "Sorry, what you said has nothing to do with us. We’re just following orders."

"Do you know who I am?" Lu Ling glared at them and said, "I am Mr. Lu’s daughter."

Upon hearing this, Cheng Li felt like she had struck gold and was shocked. But unexpectedly, the two of them said, "Mr. Lu? Sorry, Mr. Lu is no longer with the unit; it’s Director Liu now."

Upon hearing this, Lu Ling’s face alternated between pale and flushed. She thought it was still like before, where mentioning her father’s name would make the guards bend over backward for her.

Who knew that not only did they not try to flatter her, they didn’t give her any face at all. It would have been one thing if she were alone, but she was accompanied by Cheng Li, someone she intended to use as a pawn.

If Cheng Li found out about her current situation, she certainly wouldn’t be useful to her. Because of this, Lu Ling could not have been more resentful of the two guards in front of her.

If her father were still around, she would absolutely have him fire those two. Unfortunately, her father was no longer here, and his position as commander had been replaced.

"You?" Lu Ling stared at the two, wanting to say something. But Cheng Li suddenly pulled her aside and said, "Lu Ling, forget it. If we can’t get in, we can’t get in. You can call Mu Qiancheng out, it’s the same."

Hearing this, Lu Ling was speechless. She had no real relationship with Mu Qiancheng, and now Mu hated her to death, having warned her just this morning.

If she went to look for him because of Cheng Li, who knows how Mu Qiancheng would humiliate her?

Moreover, in the afternoon, the leadership had already talked to her, telling her not to cause trouble recently, or she’d be transferred to a remote place to work.

She didn’t want to go to some remote place where conditions were poor, and she knew no one.
