187: Chapter 187: We’re Not That Close, You Pauper!


When Wang Lulu asked that question, she definitely had a scheme in mind.


If Zhu Xuetao really had such powerful and influential relatives, she would use all means necessary to cling to Zhu Xuetao.


Zhu Xuetao laughed and said, “Lulu, there’s nothing like that.


You’ve grown up with me since we were kids.


Don’t you know what my family is like?


Honestly, I’m not some rich second generation.”


“What!


What did you say!”


Wang Lulu suddenly raised her voice, somewhat in disbelief as she looked at Zhu Xuetao.


“Lulu, what’s wrong?”


Zhu Xuetao was still oblivious, unaware of the reason behind Wang Lulu’s emotional change.


“It’s nothing, nothing.


Continue, we haven’t chatted for a long time.”


Wang Lulu flicked her hair, pretending to be very interested, and asked.


“Hey, actually it’s nothing serious.


The luxury car belongs to my friend.


He saw me being insulted by that middle-aged man and couldn’t stand it, so he stepped in to defend me.


My friend’s a really good guy,


I’ll take you to meet him sometime.”


Talking about Ning Fan, Zhu Xuetao couldn’t help but sing his praises.


But Wang Lulu wasn’t interested in listening to him anymore.


As soon as she heard that Zhu Xuetao’s family actually had no wealthy relatives, and that last night’s scene had been a sham, Wang Lulu was furious!


Now, to make matters worse, President Chen had also had a falling out with her, eliminating any possibility of reconciliation, and this poor security guard was just a poser, putting on airs with nothing to back it up.


Her future was once again out of reach!


Thinking this, Wang Lulu became extremely angry and pointed at Zhu Xuetao, saying, “I really didn’t expect you to turn out like this!”


Zhu Xuetao, who was caught up in the moment, was taken aback by Wang Lulu’s accusation and nervously asked, “Lulu, what’s wrong?


What did I say wrong now?”


“Haha, stop calling me Lulu like we’re that close, what if someone misunderstands?


I’m so disappointed in you.


I never thought you would be so materialistic and opportunist, using a friend with a luxury car to show off!”


Zhu Xuetao said somewhat helplessly, “I have never said that the luxury car was mine from the beginning.


It seems you’ve misunderstood.”


Wang Lulu’s remarks made him realize what was going on, and he asked with a frown, “Lulu, you just said you came to reconcile with me, now what’s this all about?”


“Reconcile?


Look at yourself.


With your pathetic position as a security team leader, can you even support me?


I doubt your monthly salary is enough for one of my meals.”


Wang Lulu scoffed dismissively and said, “Don’t dream during the day.


Between us, it’s over!”


This time Wang Lulu was even more decisive, but Zhu Xuetao no longer felt much sadness in his heart.


Perhaps this time he had finally seen the real face of Wang Lulu.


Previously, maybe because they were from the same hometown, he still harbored a sliver of fantasy, but alas… once someone’s heart changes, it never returns.


“Lulu, take care of yourself,”


Zhu Xuetao pursed his lips, was silent for a while, then spoke.


“Don’t call me Lulu, we’re not that close, you pauper!”


Wang Lulu waved her hand impatiently and walked towards the company’s main entrance.


Today turned out to be a wasted trip, a complete disappointment!


However, just as she was about to leave, Lan Kexin from the HR department hurried over, smiling as she said to Zhu Xuetao, “Captain Zhu, I finally found you.


You were hard to track down.”


Zhu Xuetao raised his eyebrows, somewhat puzzled, and asked, “What’s up, is there something you need from me?”


Lan Kexin said with a beaming smile, “This really is great news.


Because of your sincere and responsible work performance, the HR department has decided to promote you to the head of the security department,


here is your appointment letter.


Take a look, Captain Zhu…


oh no, it should be Director Zhu now.


Congratulations indeed!”


Zhu Xuetao clearly hadn’t expected Lan Kexin to bring such news, and was momentarily stunned, murmuring, “Head of the security department, no way…”


“Of course it’s true!


It’s not April Fool’s Day, why would I come all this way to joke with you?


Congratulations, Director Zhu, now you’re also in the million-dollar annual salary bracket.


Remember to treat us tonight!”


“Definitely, I will treat!”


The sudden good news somewhat bewildered Zhu Xuetao.


He took the appointment letter from Lan Kexin’s hands and read it several times, still feeling somewhat incredulous.


He pinched himself hard, only then confirming he wasn’t dreaming.


What?


A million-dollar annual salary!


Wang Lulu, who had just been about to leave, perked up her ears when she heard this news and listened intently, only then realizing that Zhu Xuetao, whom she had looked down upon, had actually been promoted to the head of the security department!


This is Xu Corporation, not some insignificant small company.


Being the head of the security department in such a multinational enterprise meant having more power and better compensation than the general managers of many small companies!


“Xuetao brother, um, are you free tonight?”


Wang Lulu turned around, her face already bearing a warm smile, she walked over to Zhu Xuetao and asked softly.


“Director Zhu, is this your girlfriend?”


Lan Kexin looked curiously at Wang Lulu.


Just as Wang Lulu was about to agree, Zhu Xuetao shook his head and rejected her directly, “It’s a misunderstanding, this person is just someone from my hometown, I’m not very familiar with her.”


Upon hearing Zhu Xuetao’s words, Wang Lulu immediately became agitated, grabbed Zhu Xuetao’s sleeve, and pleaded in a low voice, “Xuetao brother, I really know I was wrong, please give me another chance, we grew up together,


I know you care about me the most, I promise you, if you forgive me, I will listen to you in everything!”


“Sorry, too late!”


Zhu Xuetao shook off his hand, freeing himself from Wang Lulu, looked at her, and scoffed, saying, “What do you think I am?


Come and go as you please, what do you take me for?”


“You used to take me for granted, now I am out of your league!


Don’t let me see you again, please, I feel so disgusted!


You fickle woman!”


Zhu Xuetao had no regard for the old times and said bluntly to Wang Lulu.


Even as tears slid down Wang Lulu’s cheeks, his face remained expressionless.


“Director Zhu, there is still some work that needs your attention in the security department, when do you have time for it?”


Lan Kexin, seeing that the atmosphere was a bit off, hesitated, but still asked.


“I have time now.”


Zhu Xuetao replied with a smile.


“What about this girl…


Is it okay?”


Lan Kexin, looking at the crying Wang Lulu, asked.


“It’s fine, I’m really not close with her, she’s just a passerby.”


Zhu Xuetao calmly finished saying these words and turned to leave.
