Chapter 98

Leng Qingqiu didn't care at all, she stood up lightly, straightened her skirt, and sat down on the chair next to her very naturally.

Jiang Shihan showed an apologetic expression, Lu Chengwen nodded at her, and she left.

Xu Xuejiao walked over: "I didn't see this coming, Lu Chengwen, you're now a hot potato."

Lu Chengwen said: "Why did you barge into my office? You're the vice president of Houde Group, how can a big boss like you barge into someone's office without any manners?"

"You have!" Xu Xuejiao glanced at Leng Qingqiu: "What do you mean, are you two hooking up again?"

Lu Chengwen quickly said: "Don't say it so crudely, what do you mean by hooking up!"

Leng Qingqiu said: "I'm pursuing Chengwen, what's wrong with that? Do you, President Xu, have any objections?"

Xu Xuejiao laughed: "Everyone in Xuecheng knows that the Leng family has already announced the annulment of the engagement. You look a bit lowly now."

Leng Qingqiu said: "That's laughable, what's lowly about pursuing a man? Besides, do I, Leng Qingqiu, care about others' opinions?"

Xu Xuejiao walked over to Lu Chengwen and grabbed his arm: "I'm already his, he raped me in the car, Uncle Lu and Aunt Lu both saw it!"

Lu Chengwen's face turned green: "Who saw... what! I didn't do anything, I just scared you!"

Leng Qingqiu laughed: "Mm, my man should be the target of all girls. It's not a big deal to eat a little street food occasionally, I'm his main meal."

Xu Xuejiao immediately glared: "Only a nearly bankrupt guy would need to sell street food. When you open a pancake shop, I'll come and support you with Chengwen!"

Lu Chengwen quickly stood between the two: "Stop! Stop!"

Xu Xuejiao said angrily: "Lu Chengwen! I understand you saving her, but are you really so useless that you have to keep licking her?"

Lu Chengwen: "I don't..."

Leng Qingqiu: "Chengwen, you know my feelings for you. It's fine to play around, but don't get too involved."

Lu Chengwen: "I didn't..."

Xu Xuejiao: "Our parents have already recognized me. If you mess around, I'll go to your house every day!"

Lu Chengwen: "Whose parents?"

Leng Qingqiu: "Chengwen, I'll move in tonight. Do you want twins or a boy and a girl?"

Lu Chengwen shouted: "Stop!"

Lu Chengwen's inner collapse:

[Is there anyone in this world more miserable than me? Is there!?!]

[Who dares to be more miserable than me!]

...

The leader sat majestically on the throne, the lighting dim.

The strategist appeared quietly, like a ghost: "Your subordinate greets the leader."

"Hmm." The leader wore a black iron mask, his dark eyes glanced at the strategist:

"I have made some progress recently. Strategist, you have been managing the organization's affairs, thank you for your hard work."

"The leader has a broad vision and a commanding presence. Under your guidance and your central ideology, our Xuecheng branch has grown and thrived, continuously developing."

The leader laughed majestically: "I am about to break through to the Supreme Four Gates, and you have contributed to this."

"Thank you, leader."

"How is the young master?"

"Not very smooth."

"Hmph." The leader snorted: "A young punk, with some military achievements on the border, is being hyped up. I think he's still a naive kid."

"Indeed, compared to the leader's great talent and vision, the young master is indeed a bit immature."

At this, the leader angrily slapped the armrest of the throne: "Due to his negligence, we have spent a hundred billion! Now the entire branch has no cash, we can't even pay next month's salaries, and we owe a lot of external debts. I'm so angry!"

The strategist nodded: "The young master's goal is to unify the four major families of Xuecheng. Any one of these families has assets starting at a hundred billion. The initial investment of a hundred billion to the young master is a big favor, and in the long run, we won't lose."

"Hmm. Although that's true, this young man's demands are too high. He asks for fifty billion as if it's as easy as asking for five hundred yuan."

"The main branch's order is to fully support the young master's activities, to provide people and money. We are following orders, and I believe the main branch and the young master will not treat the leader unfairly."

"I understand that. Forget it. Is Tong Tuowang here?"

"Your subordinate was just about to report on this."

"Hmm."

"Tong Tuowang has joined Lu Chengwen."

"What!?"

The leader stood up suddenly.

The strategist said: "It's very strange, he directly joined Lu Chengwen without any intermediate process. Now he has cut off contact with us and is plotting with Lu Chengwen."

The leader suppressed his anger: "Idiot! Does he think following a rich person will give him a good life? Doesn't he know our organization's rules?"

"There's another bad news."

"What? Could it be..."

"The leader is wise! Tong Tuowang's fifty billion transfer has been completed. In four batches, one batch of forty-nine billion was transferred to the private account of Lu Chengwen of Dashing Group; the other three batches were transferred to three newly created private accounts. I estimate they might have pocketed the money."

"Ah—!"

The leader was extremely angry!

He slapped the armrest of the throne, shattering it!

"I'll kill him! I'll kill these three traitors!"

The strategist said: "Leader, calm down. There's another piece of news, please decide."

"What else!?"

The strategist said: "The young master is urging us to raise another fifty billion and send it over as soon as possible, without delay!"

"Go to hell!"

The leader took off the black iron mask, his face fierce: "Playing around!? Is he playing around!? Treating me like an ATM? I can tolerate a billion or two, but fifty billion! And another fifty billion after that! Even if I were a 24-hour printing press, I couldn't keep up with this wasteful son!"

"Leader, please maintain your dignity!"

"Dignity, go to hell!" The leader completely lost his composure, almost crying: "I've given him all my savings over the years, and not only did he force Tong Tuowang to defect, but he also let fifty billion go into Lu Chengwen's pocket!"

"I've scrounged and scraped, almost selling my underwear, to raise another fifty billion, and it went into Lu Chengwen's pocket!"

"Now he wants another fifty billion! I don't have it! Not a single cent! Let him figure it out himself, let him go to his powerful father for the money! I don't have a single cent left!"

The strategist quickly advised: "Leader, we have already invested a hundred billion. If we break ties with the young master now... this hundred billion will be lost."

"What can I do!?" The leader shouted, jumping up and down: "I can't come up with fifty billion even if I don't eat or drink! Should I go sell my ass?"

The strategist rubbed his chin: "That's a method, but it might be too late..."

"Go to hell! Can you understand what I'm saying?"

The strategist quickly said: "Leader, calm down!"

The leader was so angry he was shaking: "Find him, find Long Aotian, and get the hundred billion back for me!"

The strategist said: "Leader, absolutely not!"

"Why!?"

"This hundred billion never went through the young master's hands! It was given to Lu Chengwen by our own people, and both Tong Tuowang and Tie Tuowang have acted against the young master. If we break ties now, we will definitely suffer. The main branch will blame us, and... your position as leader might not be secure."

The leader sat down heavily: "What... what can I do? Where can I get that much money?"

The strategist thought for a moment: "We can sell our assets."

"What?"

The strategist said: "The only option now is to take a gamble. As long as the young master gets the fifty billion, it will definitely turn into five hundred billion or five trillion later. At that time, we can recover all our costs. I roughly estimated that if we sell all our domestic and overseas assets, we can liquidate over thirty billion."

"But we still need another ten billion!"

"Then we'll have to take out high-interest loans."

"I..."

The leader wanted to vomit blood.

"Me, the leader of the Xuecheng branch of a major organization, have to take out high-interest loans?"

"We can have the Red and Black Gates take on more tasks, operate at a low profit but high volume, and quickly gather money. We'll sell our assets and send the money to the young master."

"I... my years of hard work!"

"Leader! This is the time to make a decision! If the main branch finds out that two groups of our people have defected and taken huge sums of money, it will be seen as poor management and incompetence! We will be like two pigs in the eyes of the main branch! The consequences..."

The leader was afraid.

His face turned pale, and he sat on the throne, lost in thought for a long time, then slowly lifted his head: "Do as you say, and seal the news."

At this moment, the door was pushed open, and a tall, handsome young man walked in.

The young man walked confidently, with a confident smile, and knelt on one knee: "Your subordinate, Yin Tuowang! The task assigned by the leader and the strategist has been completed, and I have come to report!"

The leader stood up excitedly, quickly walking down the steps to help him up: "Aiyin, you're back!"

"Leader, your mask?"

"Forget the mask, Tong Tuowang has also defected! And he gave my money to someone else!"

Yin Tuowang was immediately furious: "Has he lost his mind!?"

The leader pulled Yin Tuowang, as if he were a close brother: "Your elder brother hasn't returned yet, so this matter is up to you. I'll raise some money, and you go to the young master. Capture Tong Tuowang and Tie Tuowang and make them return the money!"

Yin Tuowang was already half-dead with anger: "Leader, rest assured! Your subordinate will break their bones and suck their blood to get the money back for you!"

"Good! Indeed, you are reliable! These two idiots, they really anger me, they really anger me!"

"Ha ha ha!" Yin Tuowang laughed loudly: "Leader, don't worry, with me, Yin Tuowang, we will turn the tide and seal the deal!"

"Then I'll leave it to you, brother!"

"Leader!"

"Brother!"

"Leader!"

...

Lu Chengwen looked at Tong Tuowang, the fat man, and the thin man.

"Did you have fun last night?"

Tong Tuowang quickly said: "It was great! We called four girls, drank over a dozen bottles of good wine, and spent over two hundred thousand in one night."

Lu Chengwen smiled: "Good, being able to spend money is a good sign. People who can spend money can also make money."

"Yes."

"Starting today, you need to stay low. Get everything you need from Jiang Shihan. Don't move around unnecessarily, I have a big task for you soon. If it succeeds, there will be a big reward."

"Thank you, young master for your guidance!"

"Remember, starting today, you belong to me. No contact with the branch, or else..."

"The branch is nothing!" Tong Tuowang immediately declared: "The leader's behavior doesn't even deserve to tie your shoes, young master!"

Lu Chengwen was very satisfied.

Walking out, Lu Chengwen patted his chest.

It's tough.

What should I do? If this is exposed, I'll be in big trouble, right?
