Lu Heng ate the food one bite at a time, his eyes falling on Liao Fan opposite him from time to time.

At this time, Liao Fan fully exerted his drinking ability that he had developed over the past few years. Facing Lu Heng's father and three brothers, he frequently raised his glass in toasts.

Even when facing women like Chen Rong, Guan Guan, etc., he can still blurt out some beautiful words.

At least from the perspective of the scene, his boyfriend, who had just come to the door, held on and did not flinch at all and embarrass Lu Ran.

From Lu Heng's perspective, although his cousin Lu Ran still has the cold temperament of previous years, she has become much more docile.

She would subconsciously care about Liao Fan, asking him to drink less wine and give him more food.

Lu Heng twitched the corners of his lips and muttered in a low voice: "You have grown up after all!"

"what are you saying?"

Lin Su asked doubtfully, she vaguely heard Lu Heng's mumbling.

Lu Heng shook his head and smiled silently.

Human growth is divided into stages based on certain landmark events. If a man matures through establishing a career, then for women, most of it is through establishing a family.

Before starting a family, a romantic relationship is a necessary stage of growing up.

In the past, Lu Ran seemed independent and mature, but that iconic coldness that kept others away from thousands of miles away was actually more of a little girl's cloak to protect herself.

When she can smile sincerely, it means that she no longer needs to cover up her inner vulnerability with a cold appearance.

Lu Heng stared blankly at Lin Su next to him. Has she "grown up" again?

Lin Su didn't seem to have changed much all this time, but in fact, she also had some changes.

So can Lin Su break away from the category of childish girl now?

"I want to eat lobster, Lu Heng, pick one up for me!"

Lin Su looked at the plate of golden lobster opposite with excitement, and she was very excited. For her, it was rare to have such a lively family gathering atmosphere, so today she was led to become excited.

Lu Heng put one into the bowl for her and said dotingly: "Here, if you want more, just tell me."

"Uh-huh"

Lin Su happily began to enjoy the delicious lobster, and occasionally chatted with Lu Xiaomei next to her.

Lu Heng looked at this scene tenderly, as if it didn't matter whether Lin Su could "grow up" or not, as long as he was there.

Zhao Jing pushed down the row of mahjong in his hand and said with a smile, "I touched it." There were complaints from the people around.

A child jumped up to Zhao Jing and handed the phone to him.

"Uncle, you have a call!"

"Oh, is it so?"

Zhao Jing took it and looked at the caller ID, he couldn't help but be surprised.

"Xiaopeng, come over and play a few games, I'll take a call!"

While talking, Zhao Jing said sorry to several relatives, each of them smoked a cigarette, and then walked to the quiet balcony with his mobile phone.

After answering the phone, Zhao Jing said with a hearty smile: "Why are you thinking of calling me during the Chinese New Year? How many days are left until you go back to work?"

The man on the other end of the phone was also standing on the balcony, blowing the slightly drunken noon winter wind.

"Originally I didn't want to disturb you during the Chinese New Year, and I didn't want to spare your peace because of work matters, but I think it's better to say hello to you in advance, otherwise it may be more troublesome later.

"

Zhao Jing patted the railing, looked back at the lively living room, and couldn't help but smile: "Actually, my place is not too clean. If you have anything to do, Director Lu, just say it directly!"

Lu Heng subconsciously looked back at the two card tables that had just been set up at home. On one table were his father and four men, and on the other side was Guan Guan playing poker with a few little girls.

During the Chinese New Year, no one’s house will be too deserted.

He hesitated for a moment, but decided to tell Zhao Jing about Lu Ran and Liao Fan first.

It's not because I want to protect the two of them or plead for them, but because of the relationship between Zhao Jing and Lu Ran.

Lu Ran is Zhao Jing's work assistant. Lu Ran helps take care of many things in Zhao Jing's daily work. Once the results of the treatment of the two are resolved, Zhao Jing will be greatly affected!

"The thing is actually very simple. Lu Ran and Liao Fan are in love!"

"Well"

Zhao Jing was extremely surprised and blurted out, "How do you know?"

Lu Heng smiled bitterly, "Can I not know? I brought this person home."

Zhao Jing suddenly realized that there were not many people in the entire Hengcheng Group who knew Lu Ran's identity and background, and he, Zhao Jing, was one of them.

As Lu Heng's cousin, it is normal to bring her boyfriend to visit her during the Chinese New Year.

However, this normal matter seems a bit troublesome to Zhao Jing. Not only him, I believe Lu Heng also finds it difficult to handle.

"Tell me! How do you want to handle it? You can't just call me to remind me. You should have a case."

Lu Heng sighed, glanced at Liao Fan and Lu Ran in the room, and rubbed his brows.

"It's impossible to turn a blind eye. They are all senior leaders of the company, so they certainly can't let it go."

Zhao Jing pursed his lips and nodded. At this time, he also understood what Lu Heng was thinking.

"It is impossible to fire Liao Fan. The online sales department is now an indispensable department of Hengcheng Group, generating huge revenue every year. As the person in charge of establishing the online sales department, Liao Fan is of great importance to the company.

It goes without saying. In other words, the only one who has to deal with it is Lu Ran."

Lu Heng said calmly, in a clear and concise manner, focusing on the key points one by one.

"In other words, if we want to deal with it, we can only target Lu Ran. Even if she and I are cousins, but she breaks the rules, I can't protect her. But since she has been your assistant for a year, I believe you can also use it.

It's very smooth, but if it is handled in a hurry, you will be the one who suffers the damage, and if you are damaged, it means that the operating efficiency of the group will be affected."

Zhao Jing frowned. This must be the reason why Lu Heng called!

Tell yourself in advance so that you can be mentally prepared and make arrangements for your work after Lu Ran leaves.

Zhao Jing took a deep breath and said, "I understand. After I go back to work, I will start looking for a new assistant and let her hand over the work."

"Sorry!"

"Nothing to apologize for, it's business! It's just a little bit of a pity. After a year of training, I finally used it smoothly. Oh, forget it, let's not talk about it. Director Lu, how are you doing in the New Year?"

"It's okay. This year's Spring Festival is probably the most enjoyable one I've had in years."

"Haha, me too! Have you seen the news? Our company has been very popular recently!"

After dinner, the juniors, headed by Lu Heng, went shopping with him.

Lu Ran, Lin Su, and Lu Xiaomei walked in front, happily browsing the night market.

It's already the third day of the Lunar New Year, and businesses have begun to open their businesses one after another. Coupled with the good layout of the district government, the commercial street is extremely lively.

Lu Heng gave Liao Fan a cigarette and said leisurely: "I have already talked with Zhao Jing. When we get back, let Lu Ran start the work handover!"

Liao Fan pursed his lips and nodded silently.

Lu Heng smiled and glanced at Liao Fan's unhappy expression, and raised the corners of his mouth.

"Don't worry, that's my cousin, I won't let her lose her job. When the time comes, I will arrange a new job for her. I believe she will like it."

Liao Fan's eyes lit up, and most of the guilt in his heart disappeared.
