Ouyang Bihua turned his head and glanced at her, his eyes turning incredibly sinister. All the anger he had shown earlier vanished. He turned back, patted Du Haoqi's shoulder, and said smugly:
"Haoqi, not bad, very good! Just wait and see, hehe! Don't be fooled by Beibei's calm demeanor earlier; I can tell she's furious. That Lu Chen guy wants to mess with me? No way, hahaha!"
Du Haoqi abruptly pushed Ouyang Bihua away, fiercely covered her face, and then limped forward. Her face was pale, and her eyes were dull and lifeless.
But inside the room, something Ouyang Bihua never expected happened.
If he had seen this scene and heard the ensuing conversation, he would have known that Shangguan Bei was indeed very angry, extremely angry, but the object of her anger was not Lu Chen.
Inside the room, Shangguan Bei's expression suddenly softened from cold and stern. She bit her lower lip slightly and walked to Lu Chen. She actually reached out and adjusted Lu Chen's belt.
Seeing his slightly bulging crotch, she couldn't help but blush.
Lu Chen was also slightly taken aback, scratching his head, not expecting Shangguan Bei to be so quiet.
After adjusting Lu Chen's belt, Shangguan Bei's face hardened with a hint of menace: "Brother Chen, how do you plan to punish Ouyang Bihua and Du Haoqi? No matter what, I'll support you!"
Lu Chen was even more stunned: "Huh? You didn't even ask about the details, yet you trust me so much?"
Shangguan Bei gave a sweet smile and said softly, "Of course I believe you. I know your character. It must have been Ouyang Bihua and Du Haoqi who, under the guise of letting you try the upgraded Golden Dragon Elixir, laced it with some kind of aphrodisiac, causing your behavior. Ouyang Bihua's purpose was that he thought I would be very angry and kick you out."
Lu Chen stared blankly at Shangguan Bei, then suddenly sighed: "It can't be that simple, can it? I reckon you've heard something."
Shangguan Bei chuckled, "Alright, I'll confess! Someone already snitched to me, saying Ouyang Bihua is jealous of you and wants to frame you. Although the snitch didn't know how he'd frame you, I've been on guard. Just now downstairs, Ouyang Bihua thought his plan was clever, but how could he fool someone as observant as me?"
She paused, then playfully tapped Lu Chen's chest with her finger, her tone slightly coquettish, "Actually, Brother Chen is quite mischievous too. You didn't fall for that love potion, did you? You did it on purpose, deliberately trying to bully Du Haoqi!"
Lu Chen sighed again, then gently stroked Shangguan Bei's cheek, suddenly smiling, "That Ouyang Bihua is really unlucky. His bad luck didn't come from me, but from you! Speaking of which, since you know I did it on purpose, why aren't you angry?"
Shangguan Bei shook her head slightly: "I'm not angry, just a little jealous, but it's nothing. I remember I had Lao Pang tell you that I wanted to be your woman, but I wouldn't mind sharing you with other women, though I'd have to be number one. A man like you, like an ancient emperor, will definitely have many women. As for me, I'll just be the empress."
These words resonated deeply with Lu Chen.
Shangguan Bei then asked, "What kind of drug did Ouyang Bihua give you? How did you get rid of it? Will there be any aftereffects?" Her expression was now full of concern.
Lu Chen's expression turned serious: "That wasn't an ordinary drug." He then explained the terrifying nature of that neurotoxin. He added, "Fortunately, I've cultivated internal energy since childhood, which helped me expel the toxin."
Actually, it was thanks to his medical genius, but Lu Chen felt it was too complicated to explain.
Shangguan Bei's face hardened further. She said, "Brother Chen, tell me, what do you want to do with those two? I absolutely won't let them get away with this!"
"Do whatever you want with Ouyang Bihua. My minimum requirement is that he shouldn't stay here anymore, so I don't feel disgusted just seeing him. And Du Haoqi..."
Lu Chen hesitated.
Actually, in his mind, Du Haoqi had already received a severe punishment. He had just spanked her hard, penetrating her completely while she was still very dry, and mercilessly whipping her. From her cries and screams, Lu Chen could tell she was in great pain.
Even if he took a step back, her "sacrifice" was clearly not voluntary. She loved Ouyang Bihua so much; she must have been coerced. It was pitiful enough, being used as a tool by the man she deeply loved, using her body to frame another man. Lu Chen felt her pain and suddenly his heart softened.
Then he thought of Lingling, and his heart softened even more.
Seeing Lu Chen's hesitation, Shangguan Bei chuckled: "I understand. Don't do anything to Dr. Du. However, if I drive Ouyang Bihua away, I'm worried she'll follow."
Lu Chen paused, then sighed: "Let nature take its course."
Then, he scratched his head, saying with a hint of doubt, "Ouyang Bihua's scheming is probably public knowledge everywhere, he wants everyone to know, he's trying to force me to leave. Do you have a solution?"
Shangguan Bei winked playfully: "What do you think?"
Lu Chen suddenly smiled knowingly: "I understand, you've been trying to find fault with him for a while now, haven't you? This guy is ambitious, not the type to work peacefully!"
Lu Chen hadn't been in this position as director for long, but he had a general understanding of the company's key figures. He especially knew more about Ouyang Bihua, this man with ill intentions.
Ouyang Bihua's annual salary, benefits, bonuses, and allowances from projects he led totaled five to six million yuan. In Yunzhou City, a second-tier city, this was quite remarkable; he was considered very wealthy and powerful.
However, many people in the company murmured that Ouyang Bihua was using various company resources to enrich himself, and that his gray and black income exceeded his normal annual salary.
If Shangguan Bei wanted to deal with Ouyang Bihua's framing of her and get rid of this heartless man, she would definitely look for ways to do so.
She was very intelligent, and within Flying Eagle Biotechnology, she was second only to everyone else. If she set her sights on Ouyang Bihua, did he think he could escape? Sure enough, Shangguan Bei sighed softly and said,
"Brother Chen, you're so smart! Actually, even if I knew he embezzled so much money, I pretended not to know because of his years of service to the company and the significant market value he created. But who told him to offend my man? And to use such a potent nerve agent… So, he brought this on himself!"
A hint of murderous intent flashed in her words.
Half an hour later, all the mid-to-senior level managers of Flying Eagle Biotechnology were summoned to a meeting in Conference Room One. No matter how important their tasks were, they were all delegated to their assistants.
Upon hearing this news, Ouyang Bihua's steps became light; he was overjoyed.
Although he had threatened to call the police earlier, he knew it was unlikely. After all, Lu Chen was the research director, and if he were arrested, the Shangguan family would lose face.
Therefore, making Shangguan Bei angry and getting rid of Lu Chen was enough.
Ouyang Bihua hadn't expected Shangguan Bei to hold such a large meeting to announce something. This was perfect; it showed just how intense her anger was.
Lu Chen, this time, you're dead!
Ouyang Bihua felt a surge of triumph. He even planned to buy 999 red roses that night to comfort Shangguan Bei's wounded heart.
As for Du Haoqi, he couldn't care less. After leaving the office building, she went back to her dormitory. Ouyang Bihua walked with her for a while, then ignored her. He had to stay and see how things developed.
Therefore, Du Haoqi, as a middle manager, didn't attend the meeting.
About ten minutes later, everyone arrived. Everyone was puzzled because such meetings where all the company's middle and senior management gathered were rare, maybe once a year. This sudden meeting must mean something serious had happened.
A few people understood, because Ouyang Bihua had subtly hinted to them that Director Lu had just committed an unforgivable offense. This meeting was likely aimed at Director Lu.
In the meeting room, everyone felt even more uneasy when they saw Shangguan Bei's face, so dark it could easily turn into a storm cloud.
In the eyes of these subordinates, although Shangguan Bei was young, only in her early twenties, she had always been the embodiment of authority, exuding a powerful aura. Just standing there, she radiated an aura of dominance.
Moreover, her face was now as black as a female Guan Yu (a legendary figure associated with Guan Yu).
No one dared to even breathe loudly.
Ouyang Bihua, on the other hand, also looked serious, but inwardly felt a sense of smug satisfaction.
The absence of Lu Chen, the research director and second-in-command at Flying Eagle Biotechnology, fueled speculation. His mistake had spread from Ouyang Bihua's mouth to the mouths of several others, and then to the minds of many. So, almost everyone knew that Director Lu had made a grave mistake.
But what exactly had he done wrong? What could have angered Shangguan Bei so much?
You see, Director Lu had made outstanding contributions to Flying Eagle Biotech these past few days. The value he had created for Flying Eagle Biotech in projects large and small was simply astronomical and immeasurable.
Besides, he had even healed Miss's leg!
Shangguan Bei, seeing that everyone had arrived, spoke up, saying each word slowly and deliberately: "I'm sorry to have disturbed everyone's work time. However, this matter is very important, so everyone needs to know it as a warning!"
Listening, everyone held their breath even more.
It seemed truly serious.
A smug glint appeared in Ouyang Bihua's eyes.
"Within our management team, there is someone who has made a very serious mistake. This mistake is unforgivable; it is the most heartbreaking thing for me since the founding of Flying Eagle Biotech!" Shangguan Bei continued in a chilling tone.
This mistake is unforgivable?
Ouyang Bihua grew increasingly smug. Who else could this be referring to but Lu Chen?
Everyone present widened their eyes, waiting for Shangguan Bei to continue.
Shangguan Bei waved her hand, and two assistants who had been waiting eagerly distributed a large stack of documents they were carrying. Each manager received a copy. Each document was over twenty pages long.
Those who received the documents couldn't wait to begin reading.
But upon reading them, their expressions changed drastically, becoming one of great surprise, even a hint of fear.
