Chapter 422 I'm Back
Lu Chengwen chatted with Leng Qingqiu for a little while, flirted for a bit. Lu Chengwen felt things were getting heated, but Leng Qingqiu fell asleep.
Lu Chengwen tenderly stroked her face.
Such a beautiful, good wife, almost worn out by him.
These days had been hard on her.
Lu Chengwen was also exhausted. This night, he slept incredibly soundly.
The next day, when Lu Chengwen opened his eyes, Leng Qingqiu was already fully dressed.
Watching Leng Qingqiu in her professional attire, stockings, stepping into high heels while tidying her belongings.
Lu Chengwen's heart stirred.
[If only I could marry just one.]
[If it were just me and Leng Qingqiu living our lives, having a pair of children, taking them on vacations sometimes, and at night, shamelessly linking up with her.]
[Without so many strange people and dangerous things disturbing us, just quietly being a nouveau riche, standing at the top of the world, enjoying luxury, enjoying life, enjoying romance, enjoying family happiness... how wonderful would that be?]
Leng Qingqiu finished tidying her things, smiled, and said: "What are you daydreaming about?"
Lu Chengwen said: "Regret. Yesterday I shouldn't have felt sorry for you, should have just deflowered you directly."
Leng Qingqiu blushed and smiled: "There are plenty of opportunities. Tonight?"
Lu Chengwen's expression froze.
[I want to, but unfortunately, I can't.]
If Long Aotian upgrades again, I really can't play anymore.
Lu Chengwen thought for a moment: "Qingqiu, help me arrange something. Transfer one billion from Dasheng Group's account; I need to use it. Also, select a villa in Chengwen District, a good one, and register it under Long Aotian's name. In the skyscraper plan, allocate five percent of the shares to Long Aotian as well."
Leng Qingqiu pulled over a chair and sat down quietly: "If there's anything difficult, you can tell me."
"No, just do it."
"Okay, then I know."
"Aren't you going to ask why?"
Leng Qingqiu leaned over and kissed Lu Chengwen on the forehead: "When my man does things, I just obediently cooperate, never talk too much."
Lu Chengwen looked at her: "Leng Qingqiu, I fucking love you to death."
Leng Qingqiu was happy: "Remember what you said! If you marry, the first one must be me!"
"If it's not you, may lightning strike me."
Leng Qingqiu was suddenly moved, her eyes red-rimmed: "Chengwen."
"Hmm?"
Leng Qingqiu suppressed her sentimentality, rationality rising: "You must get up. You have a lot of work today. Mayor Zhao is almost collapsing from trying to find you..."
Lu Chengwen said: "No no no no... say what you originally wanted to say, otherwise I won't get up."
"Stop playing tricks! Get up quickly!"
"No, if you don't say it, I'll keep sleeping."
"Aiya, you're so annoying!"
"Are you going to say it or not?"
"Okay, I'll say it..." Leng Qingqiu blushed: "From now on, I'll be your simp, for a lifetime, okay?"
Lu Chengwen nodded: "No, I think I should be the one. I have experience being a simp."
Saying that, he pulled Leng Qingqiu into his arms, and the two fell onto the bed together.
Leng Qingqiu giggled: "Stop messing around, you're so annoying! We really need to hurry, the press conference is about to start, all media outlets have been notified, you need to show up. The stock market! Money!"
Lu Chengwen held Leng Qingqiu like a rogue. Outside, Jiang Shihan knocked on the door: "Boss Lu, are you ready?"
Lu Chengwen felt a bit disappointed, had no choice but to reply: "Wait a moment."
Leng Qingqiu escaped his grasp: "Your little concubine has come to serve, goodbye."
Lu Chengwen saw her about to escape and quickly shouted: "Have dinner together tonight?"
Leng Qingqiu opened the door, looked back and smiled: "No time, make an appointment with my secretary, goodbye!"
Jiang Shihan quickly lowered her head: "Greetings, Boss Leng."
Leng Qingqiu acknowledged with a sound and walked straight away.
Jiang Shihan breathed a sigh of relief.
Everyone knew clearly that currently, the only one who could make Leng Qingqiu show a young girl's shyness was Lu Chengwen.
Everyone else saw Leng Qingqiu like seeing the female King of Hell.
Zhao Gang, Jiang Shihan, even now, felt very nervous seeing Leng Qingqiu.
As for Chen Mengyun and Xu Xuejiao, although unconvinced, they also tried their best to avoid conflict with Leng Qingqiu, not daring to easily oppose her.
Firstly, because Leng Qingqiu held significant weight in Lu Chengwen's heart, and her track record was enough to scare people to death.
She was the true goddess whom Boss Lu had simped over for three whole years!
Which one of you didn't shamelessly throw yourself at him?
Only Leng Qingqiu had an almost unbeatable record.
Throwing this record in your faces, who wouldn't bow their head?
Secondly, Leng Qingqiu was truly ruthless.
This woman seemed naturally devoid of emotion.
Usually, she always seemed to have the same expression. Only when business made money, or when attending necessary social events, did she show a smile.
Just that aura alone made her very difficult to figure out.
This woman was unwilling to speak a single unnecessary word. Talking to her, if something could be said clearly in one word, saying two words would make her think you were stupid.
Her subordinates were under immense mental pressure, yet Leng Qingqiu rarely lost her temper.
She did things decisively. One second she might smile at you, the next second HR would inform you that you were fired, you had to scram.
She couldn't be bothered wasting words on someone who was about to disappear.
Thirdly, a woman who grew up hailed as a genius, a legendary figure in the business world.
Now even more famous, in the entire Xuecheng, even the entire North Kingdom, there wasn't a business person who didn't know Leng Qingqiu.
Dasheng Group Lu Chengwen's fiancée!
The strong woman who integrated the resources of four families to smash into the Chengwen District project!
The Nine Heavens Mysterious Maiden who was even gradually usurping Lu Chengwen's power!
In the eyes of the world, there was no man worthy of her.
Lu Chengwen sat up, rubbing his head. Jiang Shihan entered, bringing the twin sisters rescued from South Myanmar.
Lu Chengwen, wearing only shorts, looked at the pair of sister flowers, stunned for a moment: "Why are they here?"
Jiang Shihan said: "I transferred them over. I have several projects on hand recently, very tiring, and I don't feel assured letting others take care of you. I heard the one who took over my shift often makes mistakes and you don't like her..."
"Then just change the person! I only said a few words to her, and she resigned?"
"I fired her. I won't allow anyone to make you unhappy." Jiang Shihan gently wiped Lu Chengwen's hands and face: "These two have been trained for a while, pitiful enough, almost no family left. Keep them by your side to take care of you for me. If they don't do well, I'll scold them."
Lu Chengwen said: "Do I have to take in every pitiful person? Is this becoming a shelter?"
"Aiya, it's not for free. They do things okay. Trust me, okay..."
"Aren't you afraid I'll turn into a beast, enjoy playing with sister flowers, and you'll fall out of favor?"
"Aiya, not afraid, not afraid. You really need to get up, the press conference is in less than thirty minutes."
After some grooming, Lu Chengwen looked refreshed.
The barber cut his hair at top speed, the beautician tidied up Lu Chengwen's appearance.
Under Jiang Shihan's guidance, the two sister flowers helped Lu Chengwen choose a suit, watch, tie, and leather shoes...
Walking through the Dasheng Group building, although Lu Chengwen was much thinner, his eyes were brighter than before.
Jiang Shihan followed behind, muttering quickly:
"Your schedule is very full today. I know you're tired, but you have to push through today no matter what. It's not me saying this, it's Boss Leng's instruction."
"Get straight to the point."
"First, you need to handle the press conference, then immediately transfer to the city government for a meeting. Mayor Zhao knows you're back and wants to meet with you at the earliest opportunity. Seems like there's something to be decided."
"Don't even know what it is!?" Lu Chengwen got angry.
What kind of team is this!? Making me go to a meeting I know nothing about? How do I handle it? With what?
Jiang Shihan said: "It should be that some investors want to withdraw their investment. They feel you always play the disappearing act, which isn't safe for their funds..."
Lu Chengwen immediately glared: "How much money did they even invest? A damn bit of pocket change, and they want to put on airs with me? And care whether I disappear or not?"
"Aiya, how many in Xuecheng are as wealthy and imposing as you? They invest three or five hundred million, get nervous about a small project. If it incurs losses, several years of work go down the drain. How can they not worry!?"
"Grass." Lu Chengwen said contemptuously: "A bunch of bumpkins. If I show up, they won't withdraw funds? Didn't Leng Qingqiu just tell me to go to the meeting without preparing any trump cards for me?"
"Boss Leng said you are their nemesis, you are the most awesome man in Xuecheng. As long as you stand there, they have to clench tightly and not even dare to fart... Boss Leng said you'll have a way."
Lu Chengwen smiled: "That's true."
The double doors pushed open. Two rows of bodyguards immediately rushed forward to block both sides of the red carpet. Countless reporters frantically took photos from behind the security line.
Lu Chengwen walked to the front, shook hands with city government officials and two senior executives of Dasheng Group, and confidently walked to the center seat at the table.
Then, the beautiful female director of the publicity department began reading the manuscript.
The gist was that Lu Chengwen didn't disappear without reason but took a batch of donations to third-world countries to participate in a series of charitable activities.
Because Boss Lu was indifferent to fame and fortune, had noble character, didn't seek empty reputation, didn't desire rewards... so everything was done secretly, without any reports.
Regarding those who recently spread false news about Boss Lu's whereabouts, Dasheng Group reserved the right to sue and pursue all responsibilities.
Dasheng Group would continue to fully construct Chengwen District, all construction projects would proceed in an orderly manner, and would absolutely not let the people buy empty housing vouchers...
After the beautiful female director of the publicity department finished speaking, she returned to the long table and sat next to Lu Chengwen.
Lu Chengwen's mischievous hand touched her thigh, leaning closer to her: "New here? Legs are really nice."
The female director blushed, lowered her head, and reminded: "Boss Lu... the microphone, isn't off."
Lu Chengwen looked up, finding all cameras aimed at himself, click click click click! Chualala!
Lu Chengwen coughed, faced the dense array of cameras, and said calmly:
"I'm back."
Then he smiled slightly, stood up, turned, and walked away.
The scene instantly erupted.
