Chapter 421 The Woman Who Turned the Tide
Returning to the Xuecheng villa, Lu Chengwen and the others found it brightly lit.
As the car entered the courtyard, Jiang Shihan, Zhao Gang, and others rushed out. Seeing Lu Chengwen get out of the car, Jiang Shihan's legs went weak, and she almost sat on the ground.
Zhao Gang ran over excitedly: "Boss Lu, where have you been these days? How did you end up looking like this? Zhao Gang was worried sick about you!"
Chen Mengyun ran over, threw herself directly into Lu Chengwen's arms, crying and hitting his back: "Where did you die off to!? Do you know everyone was worried sick!"
Xu Xuejiao stood at the main entrance, exhaling: "Knew it, comes back and brings a girl, hmph."
Lu Chengwen was tired and exhausted: "Why so many people? What are you doing?"
Chen Mengyun said: "You disappeared for over half a month, the major media in Xuecheng went crazy, saying all sorts of things. Some said you were kidnapped, some said you had already... The pre-sale apartments in the shantytown suddenly stopped selling. They all felt that without Dasheng Group, without Lu Chengwen, the houses they bought would become waste paper, wouldn't be built."
Lu Chengwen instantly became nervous: "The stock market? How's the stock market!?"
Chen Mengyun bit her lip: "Evaporated over thirty billion..."
Lu Chengwen's vision went black, almost fainting.
"Money! My money! Damn it, my... my money..."
Xu Xuejiao walked over: "Aiyowei, what are you wailing about? Leng Qingqiu has already handled it."
"Handled it?" Lu Chengwen went over and grabbed Xu Xuejiao: "How did she handle it?"
Xu Xuejiao was a bit unconvinced but still said seriously: "In your fiancée's name, she directly stormed into Dasheng Group's board meeting, stopped several shareholders who wanted to cause trouble. You could say she turned the tide."
"Afterward, she directly seized power from Li Meiqin's hands and began directly taking over all projects in Chengwen District."
"Like a madwoman, she didn't sleep for three days straight, actually sorting out the Chengwen District projects clearly. Then she slept for three hours, directly rushed to the construction sites for inspection for a day, and held a press conference at seven in the evening..."
Chen Mengyun said: "Thanks to her this time, the stock market stabilized, and the troublemakers were pacified. However, it's just a stopgap measure. If you don't come back, things won't be over."
Lu Chengwen was puzzled: "Those old foxes on the board just obediently listened? And Li Meiqin just meekly handed over power?"
Xu Xuejiao said: "Your Miss Leng directly called the two of us over, her face stern like she was about to eat someone, looking like an empress arriving. She said whoever contributed at this time, she and you would remember, and whoever sabotaged, she and you would also remember. Made it seem like we would kick someone when they're down."
"She took the resources and commitment white papers from three families and slammed them on the board meeting table. Which small shareholder wouldn't be confused?"
"Li Meiqin knew that if this matter wasn't handled, it would be a sky-falling disaster, and your life or death was uncertain. If you really died, haha, then she really would have to rely on Leng Qingqiu for a living."
Chen Mengyun said: "Leng Qingqiu gave everyone a way out and saved their face, that's why she stabilized the situation."
Lu Chengwen was overjoyed: "Well done! This woman is really something when it comes to business."
Xu Xuejiao said: "All you know is praising her, why don't you praise me? She acted all high and mighty, ordering Mengyun-jie and me around like maids! If it wasn't for you, I would have fallen out with her long ago!"
Lu Chengwen put his arm around Xu Xuejiao, kissing her forehead: "Hahaha, sister Xuejiao considers the bigger picture, understands propriety, well done, you are all well done."
Lu Chengwen said: "Where's Leng Qingqiu?"
"Still working overtime at the company, right?"
Lu Chengwen nodded: "Xuejiao, Mengyun, you guys go back first. Seeing that I'm fine, no need to worry anymore."
"Shihan, take good care of Xiao Houzi. Also, find a room for Meishao..."
Hua Xueying said: "Meishao-jie will stay with me!"
Xu Xuejiao narrowed her eyes: "Hey hey hey, you got another girlfriend? Look around, just here, how many girlfriends do you have?"
Lu Chengwen pinched her cheek: "Xuejiao, I'm very tired."
Xu Xuejiao's eyes immediately reddened: "Got it, just joking with you."
Lu Chengwen comforted everyone. He took a shower, shaved, tidied his hair, changed clothes, had Zhao Gang drive, and went straight to Dasheng Group.
Late at night, Dasheng Group was quiet. When the security guard saw Lu Chengwen arrive, he stood up in shock, unable to speak.
Lu Chengwen smiled slightly at him: "Leng Qingqiu is upstairs, right?"
He nodded.
"Continue eating your instant noodles."
Zhao Gang ran ahead to press the elevator button, going straight to the top floor.
He slowly walked into his office, looking towards the inner office area.
Leng Qingqiu was still checking accounts.
Han Yue and a secretary were also working overtime. That young girl was already exhausted, leaning against a bookshelf asleep, drool dripping down.
Han Yue also looked tired: "Chief Leng, actually we've done enough, the situation has stabilized, no need to push this hard."
"Mm." Leng Qingqiu looked up: "You go rest, take her with you."
Han Yue said: "Chief Leng... is pushing this hard worth it? Boss Lu hasn't come to see you for so long."
"Often sends messages."
Leng Qingqiu didn't lift her head.
Han Yue bit her lip: "Chief Leng..."
Leng Qingqiu got impatient: "Why do you have so much to say today?"
Han Yue said: "I just feel it's not worth it for you! Look how tired you've become these days! Boss Lu only cares about his own enjoyment, sticking with that Xu Xuejiao every day, doesn't even come see you..."
"Are you finished talking?"
Leng Qingqiu said: "Either continue working, or go rest. My business with Lu Chengwen doesn't need you to comment."
Han Yue pouted, looked up, saw Lu Chengwen, and froze on the spot.
Sensing the atmosphere was wrong, Leng Qingqiu looked up, saw Lu Chengwen, and smiled slightly: "You're back?"
Lu Chengwen walked in. Han Yue quickly stood up: "Boss-Boss Lu... sorry I..."
Lu Chengwen smiled: "It's alright, go rest."
"Oh, okay..."
Han Yue quickly pulled up the already sleeping girl. The girl opened her eyes, saw Lu Chengwen, wiped her drool, already stunned silly.
"Boss-Boss-Boss... Boss Lu, hello."
Lu Chengwen said: "Go rest."
Han Yue quickly pulled her away.
Lu Chengwen walked up to Leng Qingqiu, seeing the dense spreadsheets on her computer.
"Exhausted, right?"
Leng Qingqiu smiled: "How did you lose so much weight?"
"Don't mention it."
Lu Chengwen took Leng Qingqiu's hand: "I went back to the villa first. They told me roughly what happened these past few days."
Leng Qingqiu nodded: "Tired?"
"A little."
"Even if you're tired, you still have to hold a press conference tomorrow. You showing up is more effective than anything I do. I'll go arrange it now."
Leng Qingqiu spoke like a string of firecrackers: "Also, the bank consortium, because of your disappearance, wants to lower our credit rating, this must be handled immediately; For Chengwen District's image ambassador, we invited Wan Bin, his image is good, and his appeal is strong, just a bit prone to acting like a big shot, needs to be knocked down a peg; Because of your disappearance, many material suppliers started coming to demand debt payment, some are already very impolite; As for the accounts, I recently discovered several loopholes..."
Lu Chengwen pulled Leng Qingqiu into his embrace.
"Sorry, you've worked hard."
Leng Qingqiu smiled, touching Lu Chengwen's face: "My dad was more worried about you than I was."
"Weren't you worried?"
"Not worried."
"Why? Chen Mengyun even cried."
Leng Qingqiu showed a disdainful expression: "Only knows how to cry when encountering problems. If something really happened, worrying is useless. If you came back, the house was in chaos, Dasheng Group fragmented, stock price dropped to eggplant price... then how could I explain it to you?"
"Why explain?"
Lu Chengwen looked at her: "You don't owe me anything."
Leng Qingqiu smiled again: "I really feel like I do owe you."
Lu Chengwen said: "Are you always this rational?"
Leng Qingqiu paused, somewhat awkward, somewhat uncomfortable.
"Sorry, I'm just this kind of troublesome woman. Unlike them, who feel joy and sorrow for you, I also... don't know how to act spoiled, coquettish to make you happy."
"I only know how to do things..."
Leng Qingqiu lowered her head, somewhat melancholic.
"Sometimes I even feel myself, I don't have much femininity, like a robot."
Lu Chengwen held her: "No, I meant to say, I think your rational, calm appearance is so cool. It makes my heart flutter."
Leng Qingqiu smiled contentedly this time: "I didn't embarrass you, right?"
Lu Chengwen shook his head, leaned close to her ear: "Want to do you."
Leng Qingqiu smiled, tilting her head: "Begging to be done. Just afraid you only talk and don't act."
Lu Chengwen said: "Too tired recently, let's rest."
Leng Qingqiu's eyes darted around, saying mischievously: "I've been sleeping in your bed these past few days."
Lu Chengwen swept her up in his arms, making Leng Qingqiu scream: "Hey, what are you doing!?"
"Holding wife to sleep."
"Aiya, I still have some work unfinished!"
"I don't care! Even if the sky falls, must hold wife to sleep."
"Okay okay okay, Chengwen, I'll listen to you. You go in first, let me finish this bit, I promise you it'll be quick..."
Lu Chengwen didn't care anymore, directly carried her inside, placed her on the bed.
Leng Qingqiu climbed up acting spoiled: "My fault, shouldn't have provoked you, this work must be finished tonight, otherwise tomorrow..."
"The sky won't fall." Lu Chengwen said: "Listen to me, rest."
Leng Qingqiu knew Lu Chengwen felt sorry for her.
Smiled slightly: "Okay, then I'll indulge myself this once."
Leng Qingqiu took a shower, slipped into the covers, and actively nestled into Lu Chengwen's embrace.
Lu Chengwen looked at her, even now, still feeling like it was a dream.
Leng Qingqiu was truly too beautiful, definitely the kind of beauty that captured souls at first glance.
Lu Chengwen had never believed in sayings like "overthrowing kingdoms and cities" or "fish sinking, geese falling" before, feeling they were exaggerated.
But with Leng Qingqiu, those words clearly lacked weight, insufficient to describe Leng Qingqiu's beauty.
Lu Chengwen held her, asking gently: "You performed great merit, how should I reward you?"
Leng Qingqiu smiled and said: "If you press down on me now, that counts as rewarding me."
Lu Chengwen said: "Ready?"
Leng Qingqiu nodded: "Mm."
