In psychology, there is an effect called maternal effect. People deem it as a common phenomenon because of their own concern. For example, pregnant women will find that they often meet pregnant women. Those who drive Mercedes-Benz are more likely to see Mercedes-Benz. Those who have a LV bag will notice many people have LV bags on the street. These are called psychological projections. After Lu Jia’er learned about Vice President Xiao, she found that she had a “maternal effect”. She would run into her wherever she went.
She had run into her three times yesterday and met her again when she went to buy coffee at noon today. This time, she had a companion next to her, the boy who came out of her car that day.
The boy saw Lu Jia’er and showed some nervousness on his face, he didn’t dare make eye contact with her. Instead, Vice President Xiao was calm and greeted Lu Jia’er, “Professor Lu, you also came to get some coffee!”
“Yeah!” Lu Jia’er glanced at her and nodded perfunctorily.
Seeing that Lu Jia’er was not particularly welcoming, Vice President Xiao couldn’t occupy too much of her time, so she smiled and said, “I will head out first!”
“Okay” Lu Jia’er said reluctantly.
She was not a particularly gregarious person. So even if she had not come across Vice President Xiao, she would naturally still have a cool expression. Besides things were not as simple as Vice President Xiao had described the other day.
Looking at the backs of the two leaving, Lu Jia’er could not help but frown.
After buying her coffee, Lu Jia’er returned to the BUA office. It was totally unnecessary for her to get involved in such a disturbing matter, but the brewing effect of social media should not be ignored.
As a result, Lu Jia’er sent a message to Jin Xiangdong, “Ace, which department is Vice President Xiao responsible for?”
She got a reply in a few seconds, “Operations! Is there anything wrong?”
“Nothing, I have often bumped into her over the past few days. So I decided to ask!” Lu Jia’er replied.
After learning this piece of information, Lu Jia’er found the phone number of Vice President Xiao in the employee contact book in the afternoon and sent a text message to her.
After work, Lu Jia’er stood on the top floor of the BUA building. The rooftop was not an open space, but a small garden with flowers and grass.
The sun’s setting rays slanted with a breeze coming toward her face. It was cool and comfortable
“Professor Lu, I was just finishing a meeting. Sorry to have kept you waiting!” the voice of Vice President Xiao came from behind her.
Lu Jia’er slowly turned around and cast a glance at her before she turned her eyes to the colorful red glow in the distance.
Vice President Xiao walked to Lu Jia’er’s side. “Professor Lu, is there something I can do for you?”
Lu Jia’er said nothing, just handed the phone to Vice President Xiao. Vice President Xiao took it and looked at its contents. Her eyes gleamed for an instant, but quickly recovered their usual calm. “Professor Lu, you asked me to come up here to show this to me?”
Lu Jia’er saw her expression and said directly, “At the moment it’s just a Weibo posting, but it may become a piece of news tomorrow!”
“Is this related to me?” Vice President Xiao’s face was as calm as before.
“What do you think?” Lu Jia’er asked.
Vice President Xiao was very calm, and smiled with curled lips. “Professor Lu, I know that you are very good in the field of behavioral psychology. You are known as a mind reader, but this Weibo posting has nothing to do with me!”
“Don’t do it if you don’t want others to know.” Lu Jia’er’s tone was cold.
“I don’t understand what you are talking about?” Vice President Xiao pretended to know nothing.
Upon hearing this, Lu Jia’er could not help but sneer as she casually said, “If Guo Lin committed suicide, wouldn’t you be responsible?”
