Chapter 100 This is reality

Jiang Shihan transformed Tietuo Wang, Zhang Long, Zhao Hu, Wang Chao, and Ma Han.

For the past few days, the five of them had been taking etiquette lessons. They learned how to eat Western food, dance ballroom, observe social etiquette, dress appropriately... even how to walk and what kind of watch to pair with different clothes.

Ordinary people wouldn't know this because they wouldn't have access to such education. However, noble families all received this kind of training, and most importantly, it was very expensive.

This kind of training was a real money burner!

The hired instructors charged by the hour, four thousand US dollars per hour!

And even then, not just anyone could hire them.

Lu Chengwen walked over, and the five immediately bowed their heads. The etiquette teacher sternly said, "Posture! Expression! Have you forgotten?"

The five were stunned for a moment, then straightened their backs and became serious, only nodding slightly. They looked like bodyguards in an action movie, absolutely solemn and majestic, with an breathtaking aura!

Lu Chengwen felt that once these guys got rid of their Jianghu habits and lazy postures, their aura suddenly surged!

Looking again, each of them wore a well-tailored suit, pure gold cufflinks, a snow-white shirt, and high-end leather shoes...

Lu Chengwen smiled: "Not bad, it's starting to look interesting."

Tietuo Wang exhaled, and his straight body instantly collapsed, becoming shorter. He said with a grin, "Young Master, we're all rough guys. What's the point of learning all this? You might as well let us do more missions! We can protect Miss Leng and Miss Xuejiao, no problem."

Lu Chengwen laughed: "Do you know how much it costs me to train you?"

Tietuo Wang scratched his head: "I heard it's quite a lot. This teacher seems to eat money. It's said that he charges more than 30,000 yuan an hour, more ferocious than robbing."

Lu Chengwen said: "Remember, you are no longer Red Guards, you are my subordinates. You have to be different from those stray cats and dogs outside."

Tietuo Wang said with a smile: "We rely on real skills, the courage to fight and kill, and..."

"Shut up!"

Lu Chengwen interrupted him rudely: "Why so much nonsense? I arrange the best for your food, clothing, shelter, and transportation. Your suits cost more than 50,000 yuan each, and your shoes are no less than 8,000 yuan! If I tell you to learn, you b to learn well. You are no longer ordinary lackeys, not just any Red Guard thugs. You are now upper-class people, elites, fundamentally different from those idiots who can't even wear a suit properly! Understand?"

The five were startled and nodded quickly.

"If you keep whining, I'll hand you directly over to Tongtuo Wang."

Tietuo Wang hurriedly said: "Young Master, please calm down, we'll learn, we'll learn well."

"Damn it, all of you are crying like ghosts and howling like wolves!" Lu Chengwen cursed: "All of you are just waiting to die, good-for-nothings."

Lu Chengwen walked up to the teacher with a smile: "Teacher, you've worked hard."

The teacher also had some complaints and said in English: "These people are very difficult to manage, they don't listen well, and I think they have serious violent tendencies! Mr. Lu, I know you want to build a team of bodyguards that look classy, but these people are beyond my capabilities. Please forgive me for not being able to continue working."

"Mr. Nick!" Lu Chengwen also explained in fluent English: "I can double your salary, but please stay and help me. Don't look at them like this, but in fact, each of them possesses unique skills and are rare talents. I need your help to transform them, to make them look brand new."

Tietuo Wang leaned closer to Jiang Shihan: "Sister Shihan, what is Mr. Lu babbling about with him?"

Jiang Shihan smiled: "You guys have angered the teacher, he doesn't want to teach you anymore. Mr. Lu is pleading for you, praising you for your unique skills, and saying you just need some etiquette training."

Tietuo Wang was moved.

He said to his brothers: "Mr. Lu really doesn't hold back when he scolds us, but he's also very generous when he spends money on us. Look, although he's fierce towards us, he always praises us in front of outsiders! Brothers, let's strive to do well, study hard, and be good lackeys for Mr. Lu!"

"Brother, I'm so touched. This is the first time I've seen Mr. Lu humbly beg someone!"

"Brother, why don't we just beat up the teacher? In my experience, a good beating makes teachers behave."

Lu Chengwen finished communicating with the teacher and turned to Jiang Shihan: "Transfer the money to the teacher, double his salary, and take care of all his expenses in China. Make sure the hotel treats him well."

"Yes, Mr. Lu."

Lu Chengwen looked at these big fools with suppressed anger: "Be smarter! If the teacher complains to me again, I'll kill you!"

...

Zhao Gang drove for Lu Chengwen, feeling extremely unhappy.

"Mr. Lu."

"Hmm?"

Lu Chengwen looked down at the newspaper without raising his head.

"Those five guys you're training... does that mean... I'm out of a job?" he asked worriedly.

Lu Chengwen raised his head: "What are you talking about?"

Jiang Shihan, sitting next to Lu Chengwen, smiled: "Brother Zhao Gang is jealous!"

"Oh." Lu Chengwen finally understood: "You're feeling upset seeing them make big money, right?"

"No... no..."

Lu Chengwen said: "You're different from them, Zhao Gang. They have unique skills, and deserving of this treatment. If they weren't tied down by a large organization, with their abilities, they wouldn't receive worse treatment anywhere else than they do with me."

"Oh." Zhao Gang felt even more uncomfortable. He wasn't even as skilled as them, so it seemed like there really wouldn't be any place for him in the future.

"But in terms of loyalty, you're connumber ne. So, relax."

"Hehe." Zhao Gang finally smiled: "I knew Mr. Lu sidered me a brother and wouldn't abandon me!"

Lu Chengwen put down the newspaper, his large hand stroking Jiang Shihan's thigh back and forth, and muttered:

"The situation is complicated now, I don't know which thing to handle first."

Jiang Shihan blushed: "How about taking down Qianfeng first?"

"Hmm?"

Jiang Shihan said: "The first phase of the slum project has already started, and we've invested over 100 billion. But for the later stages, we may have to use the investment funds from the other major families. During this period, we'll have very little cash available."

"Taking down Qianfeng first might allow us to reap another wave in the stock market. We need to have money on hand. It's difficult to do things without money. If the capital chain collapses later... the money from the major families and us will all go down the drain."

Lu Chengwen was extremely frustrated.

This was the problem with being a wealthy family like his.

Driving luxury cars, living in mansions, dating beautiful women, eating lavish meals...

Opening a million-dollar bottle of wine without blinking an eye, he would never lack this kind of small money.

But what he lacked was big money, money that disappeared in units of billions, or even tens of billions, or hundreds of billions.

If one big hole couldn't be plugged, hundreds of billions could evaporate instantly.

Lu Chengwen stroked Jiang Shihan's stockings and murmured: "Qingqiu is at her most difficult moment now. Reviving Qianfeng is her dream, I can't kick her while she's down."

Jiang Shihan said seriously, "Those who achieve great things don't fuss over trifles. Even after acquiring Qianfeng, you can still leave it to her to manage, which doesn't contradict her dream. I suggest you first win over Leng Qingqiu and then take over Qianfeng. This will greatly reduce our pressure in the later stages."

Lu Chengwen was surprised, "What kind of idea is that? That's too despicable, taking advantage of someone and their family's wealth. How could you come up with such an idea?"

Jiang Shihan thought to herself, "This idea is based on your personality! You used to have these kinds of nasty ideas!"

She said, "Although it may not be morally decent, the business world is like a battlefield. From another perspective, if we were weak, the other major families would try to take advantage of us without any regard for feelings. You understand this principle, don't you?"

"Hiss." Lu Chengwen took a breath, knowing that Jiang Shihan was right.

"The principle is like that..."

"And Miss Leng is already deeply in love with you. Taking advantage of her feelings for you at this time to win her over is a brilliant move. This kind of opportunity is once in a lifetime, and no one would let it slip by. Mr. Lu, with your great talent and strategy, you wouldn't suddenly become softhearted at this point, would you?"

Lu Chengwen was still hesitant.

(Should I take advantage of Leng Qingqiu? At this time? That's too low, isn't it?)

(Besides, I don't want to get involved with these female protagonists!)

(But I really can't bear to give Jiang Shihan to anyone else. This girl... she takes such good care of me! I can touch her thighs anytime, anywhere. I wouldn't trade this life for anything!)

Jiang Shihan secretly rejoiced, a hint of flirtation in her eyes.

Zhao Gang in the front seat said seriously, "Mr. Lu, I've followed you for so many years, and I've never seen you make a mistake or hesitate on such a major matter. Shihan is right, if we don't take over Qianfeng Group, someone else will. I don't understand why you're hesitating."

Lu Chengwen was still undecided.

At this moment, Li Meiqin's call came in.

"Hello? Meiqin."

"Mr. Lu, the stock price of the Leng family has started to fall."

"Hmm?"

"Their stock price went up because of the business war before. Now that the battle is over, it has fallen again. I strongly suggest that you make arrangements as soon as possible to acquire Qianfeng! This is a golden opportunity, don't miss it!"

"Why are you saying this too?"

Li Meiqin on the other end was stunned for a moment, "Isn't this... business? This is how business works. We've acquired countless poorly managed companies."

Lu Chengwen said, "I understand, I'll consider it."

"Mr. Lu!" Li Meiqin immediately sensed that Lu Chengwen's decision-making direction seemed different from her own.

"You need to consider it quickly. Opportunities are fleeting, and no one knows what the situation will be like in a few days. We might miss the opportunity if we let this window pass."

"Got it."

Lu Chengwen was in a dilemma.

This was the law of business, just like the battles between feudal lords.

Big countries swallow small countries, an eternal truth.

But when it was his turn, why was it so difficult?

Leng Qingqiu... Just thinking of Leng Qingqiu, that proud woman, with her hurt eyes, looking at him with resentment and sadness.

Trying to please him in every way, Lu Chengwen felt a pang in his heart.

At this moment, Xu Xuejiao called.

"Big Sis, what's up again?"

"Hey! Do you have to be like this every time? When you need me, I'm Xuejiao Meimei, but when you don't, you bully me, scold me, and even answer the phone so impatiently!"

"Alright, alright, what's the matter?"

"Just telling you something."

"Go ahead."

"My dad has decided to acquire Qianfeng and is already in talks with Leng Tianhao."

Lu Chengwen immediately sat up straight: "What did you say!?"
