Chapter 1445: Capítulo 1445: Chapter 1446: She Wants to Talk to You

He only took the car keys.

The assistant hurriedly grabbed Gao Zhe’s phone and jacket and followed him.

On the rooftop of Lu’s building.

Lu Zhenzhen was sitting on a recliner, swinging slowly. She held an empty folder in her hand, occasionally using it to shield herself from the sunlight overhead.

She had been watching for half an hour now.

The firefighter’s lips were dry from talking, but that pair of grandmother and grandson still sat outside the small balcony extended from the top floor, unwilling to come up.

Unfortunately, that corner was practically a blind spot, with two panes of glass separating it. The balcony extended outwards, and below was the fountain at the entrance of Lu’s company. It was dozens of floors below; if they took a wrong step, there would be no saving them.

The firefighters tried to approach several times, but were discovered by the Old Lady.

Who knows if they had scoped the place out beforehand but chose such a tricky spot.

Lu Zhenzhen looked at the ropes tied around the grandmother and grandson and found it laughable.

Whoever is dead set on jumping off a building wouldn’t tie ropes around themselves.

This family was still afraid. Afraid that if something really happened to the old and the young, and they jumped off in front of everyone, they wouldn’t have a way to blame it on Lu’s.

“Miss Lu,” one of the firefighters came over, “that Old Lady specified she wants you to come over; she wants to talk to you.”

“What can I talk to her about? She just wants to swindle more compensation from me for the demolition, but I can’t do anything either. The company has to operate; we can’t just use money for charity, right?” Lu Zhenzhen removed the folder over her head, and calmly said, “Why don’t you pass on a message for me: the compensation is non-negotiable; it’s based on those conditions. Otherwise, if everyone wants money by threatening to commit suicide, how am I supposed to live?”

The firefighter’s face also showed some embarrassment. After understanding the whole situation, it was indeed the family’s unreasonable behavior. But if they couldn’t persuade them to come up, there wasn’t anything they could do. That eighty-year-old lady wouldn’t listen to any sweet talk. She insisted on talking to Lu Zhenzhen, ignoring everything others said.

“I know it’s difficult for Miss Lu, but those are two lives. There’s no intention of morally blackmailing you. It’s just that the little one, barely over four years old, is being held by the Old Lady for so long that she can barely hold on. Just now, he even slipped a bit, with one foot almost going over. If it weren’t for the rope holding him, there might have been an accident. He’s now crying his heart out. Why don’t you go listen to what she really has to say? Our colleagues have already secured a temporary landing point downstairs, and they’ll act once everything is ensured to be fail-safe.”

Lu Zhenzhen stood up. She had no intention of making things difficult for the firefighters.

“Alright, I’ll go take a look.”

The firefighter led her over.

The Old Lady didn’t know who Lu Zhenzhen was. At home, the son and daughter-in-law had agreed that she should only recognize the boss of this company; otherwise, talking to others would lead to no results.

So she remained silent.

Until Lu Zhenzhen spoke, “I’m Lu Zhenzhen. Your family’s demolition is handled by my company. Do you have anything you want to say to me?”

“Why are you only coming now!”

The Old Lady, acting unreasonable, started with a complaint, “I have been sitting on your company’s building for a long time now. You are only showing up now. Are you really trying to push this old bone of mine to death!”

Lu Zhenzhen laughed, “You’re being dramatic. How could I be forcing you to death? Isn’t it you who wants to jump off the building?”

The firefighter’s heart skipped a beat!

He was afraid that Lu Zhenzhen would speak too bluntly. He had advised her while bringing her over but didn’t expect that while Lu Zhenzhen had toned it down, her words still invited resentment.
