Chapter 313: Happy Birthday Mo Yuanxiu (1) Lu Manman, Zhang Cui, and the two central managers headed to a specialty restaurant beside Lu Firm. Although it was already time to knock off, she could sense that the two managers were still tense. Lu Manman pursed her lips and smiled. She wanted to say something to ease the atmosphere. She was probably too serious at work. She was about to say something when her cell phone rang. Lu Manman looked at the caller ID and smiled politely at the few people waiting for their food to be served at the dining table. “I’ll take this call.” The other three nodded quickly. Lu Manman stood up and picked up. “Gu Xin.” “Manman, if I told you that I saw Mo Yuanxiu and another woman flirting at Charm Bar, you wouldn’t care, right?!” Lu Manman furrowed her brows. “They’re very intimate anyway.” Gu Xin seemed unhappy and hung up without waiting for Lu Manman to say anything. Lu Manman looked at the words: call ended. Her expression darkened. She took a deep breath and returned to her seat. The lively atmosphere became a little tense with her arrival. “Secretary Zhang,” Lu Manman said to Zhang Cui. “Mm-hm, Director Lu.” “I have something to attend to, so I’ll be paying the bill for this. Come and report to me tomorrow. Enjoy your meal.” “Director Lu, aren’t you eating?” Lu Manman smiled kindly. Zhang Cui watched as Lu Manman stood up and picked up her bag. She politely said to them, “Enjoy your meal. I have something to attend to, so I’ll get going.” The two central managers hurriedly stood up. “Take care, Director Lu.” Lu Manman nodded and left the restaurant. The streets of Wen City were bustling with life. This was the first time Qin Ao had taken the initiative to call her after work today, and he respectfully asked her when she would be getting off work. Back then, they had been discussing the event plan, and she had casually answered that it would be very late, so he could knock off first without waiting for her. It was rare for Qin Ao to knock off first. Lu Manman walked alone on the streets of Wen City. During this period of time, her mind was filled with thoughts about how to make Lu Firm stronger, to be so powerful that they would not be easily swayed by people with ulterior motives. While working hard to strengthen Lu Firm, they were also taking revenge on those who harbored ill intentions. She had said before that she would repay him double in this lifetime! The night shone on her lonely figure. A cab stopped by her feet, and she got into it. “Let’s go to Jinjiang Villa area in Sanlong Bay… Forget it. Let’s go to Charm Bar.” The chauffeur hurriedly nodded respectfully, and the car drove down the wide street. Lu Manman kept her eyes on the passing scenery outside the window. She convinced herself that she was not going to that place because of the call Gu Xin had given her. She just felt that she had to wish Mo Yuanxiu a happy birthday in person. She was very sure that Mo Yuanxiu would not be home until midnight. There was also a possibility that he would not return for the night. He would not return for the night. Lu Manman bit her lip. She somehow felt that those words made her unhappy. The car arrived at the destination very soon. Lu Manman paid and got off. The clubhouse was bustling with activity. The promotional lights cast a passionate glow in the center of the stage, and the music was so loud it drove the crowd crazy.
