Chapter 19: This Person Is Sick

Leng Qingqiu was called back by her parents with a phone call.

"Dad, Mom."

The house was already prepared with a meal.

"Mm, you're back." Leng Tianhao gestured: "Sit, let's talk."

Leng Tianhao and his wife sat down to eat with Leng Qingqiu.

Leng Tianhao was expressionless; it wasn't that he was unhappy, but he was usually a very serious person.

Today, he unusually served Leng Qingqiu a portion of food, which surprised her.

Leng Qingqiu felt a warmth in her heart: "Thank you, Dad."

Leng Tianhao smiled slightly: "I heard that Lu Chengwen made a scene at your company today? Ruined a deal for you?"

Leng Qingqiu nodded: "Actually, he helped me."

"Oh? How so?"

"That Jiao Shiheng is a fraud, he bribed one of my audit vice presidents to tamper with the audit materials. Brother Chengwen somehow found out about this and went to beat him up."

Leng Tianhao laughed: "Jiao Shiheng, his project is worth over two billion, right? Close call! Our Leng family can't afford to be tied up with over two billion in cash now, it would be a fatal blow to our family. This cash must make money, otherwise, we might not be able to recover."

"Sorry, it was my oversight in personnel." Leng Qingqiu slightly lowered her head, very politely.

Leng Tianhao waved his hand: "I'm not blaming you. But how did Lu Chengwen find out about the problem with this project that you didn't notice?"

"I don't know." Leng Qingqiu said: "He seems careless, but in fact, he's very meticulous, sometimes his methods are quite dirty, so it's not surprising that he could do this."

Leng Tianhao nodded in agreement.

"That kid from the Lu family, he's quite a character. If he can stay steady in the future, he'll be someone who can stir up storms."

Leng Tianhao said: "You'll be engaged on the tenth of next month, be mentally prepared."

Leng Qingqiu fell silent.

Leng's mother quickly served Leng Tianhao a portion of food to please him.

Leng Tianhao was the chairman, although he had delegated power to Leng Qingqiu as the CEO, most of the shares of Qianfeng Group were still in Leng Tianhao's hands.

This is a common management model among major families.

So, in the company, Leng Qingqiu is the top, but at home, the big figure is always Leng Tianhao.

Leng's mother knew that Leng Qingqiu was extremely resistant to this marriage alliance, and both father and daughter had fiery tempers, both wanting to have the final say, and had already argued many times over this matter.

She was worried that they would argue again today.

Leng Tianhao said: "Don't blame your father for being heartless. The Leng family is on the brink of life and death.

Although you've done well these past few years, we still haven't been able to make a big comeback.

The company has too many accumulated problems, it's been hard on you."

"It's not hard, I'm confident I can lead Qianfeng back to its peak."

"Mm, I believe you." Leng Tianhao said: "Therefore, the Lu family's support is indispensable, you need to get engaged as soon as possible. Once you're part of the Lu family, everything will be different, the situation you face will be much easier to handle. Moreover, the Lu family will also lend a hand, at least we won't have to worry about a financial collapse."

Leng Qingqiu put down her chopsticks, and Leng's mother immediately became nervous.

"Brother Chengwen and I will not be engaged."

Sure enough, these words were finally spoken.

Leng's mother nervously looked at Leng Tianhao.

Leng Tianhao was also unhappy and put down his chopsticks.

"How many times have I taught you? Those who achieve great things don't get bogged down in details. You are my daughter, the CEO of Qianfeng Group! Not an office clerk in a small business! Do you think you can meet a boy wearing sweatpants, who loves fitness, skateboarding, and listening to rock music at a party? Get married for so-called 'love'?"

"Your marriage is related to the survival of the enterprise, the rise and fall of the family, hundreds of people are eagerly watching you. One right choice is more useful than thirty years of hard struggle, don't you understand this?"

Leng Qingqiu was expressionless: "You misunderstood. This time, it's not that I disagree, it's that Lu Chengwen disagrees."

Both Leng Tianhao and Leng's mother were stunned.

Leng's mother blurted out: "He disagrees? What's going on? He's been chasing you for three years, how could he disagree? What did you do? Is it... does he know you have a man?"

"No."

"Then why?" Leng's mother was anxious: "He likes you so much, how could he suddenly disagree?"

"I don't know either."

Leng Tianhao angrily said: "Did you deliberately offend him, and now you're using this to fob me off?"

"Father, is that my style?"

Leng Tianhao was taken aback.

Right, his daughter doesn't like to play petty tricks.

She has great strategies in big matters, but she's definitely not an ordinary girl full of petty schemes.

Playing such small tricks is indeed not Leng Qingqiu's style.

"Then what exactly is going on?"

Leng Qingqiu said: "I said, I don't know. He now... really dislikes me."

"Dislikes!?"

"Yes." Leng Qingqiu felt very wronged, her heart was sad, but she had to control her expression:

"Now he just wants to stay as far away from me as possible, even to the point of never interacting again."

Leng's mother panicked: "How could... this happen?"

Leng Tianhao said: "The day before yesterday at the Lu family, I could see that kid was not right. There's indeed a problem."

Leng Tianhao thought for a moment: "Alright, I'll look into this matter. You, take the initiative, get closer to him. Girls need to be a bit soft, can't always put on a face that keeps strangers at a distance. He has feelings for you, it's easy to win him back."

Leng Qingqiu shook her head: "I'm afraid it's not that easy. In any case, with or without the Lu family, I will lead Qianfeng back to its peak, please rest assured, father."

Leng Qingqiu stood up and left the table.

"I'm full, please take your time."

Leng Tianhao watched his daughter give him a cold shoulder, suppressing his anger: "If you two are not engaged by the tenth of next month, I will convene a board meeting to reappoint the CEO. Choose between freedom and career yourself."

Leng Qingqiu stood at the door for a few seconds, said nothing, and pushed the door open to leave.

Lu Chengwen only found out after making a phone call that while he was in jail, Xu Xuejiao had already alleviated the condition of Jiang Shihan's mother.

Jiang Shihan heard that Lu Chengwen was in the police station and immediately wanted to bring a lawyer to bail him out, but was stopped by Xu Xuejiao.

Now the person was saved, but unfortunately, he was tricked out of more than ten billion by Xu Xuejiao, this demon.

Finding Xu Xuejiao, Lu Chengwen was in a terrible mood.

Anyone, even the world's richest person, would definitely be unhappy to be tricked out of more than ten billion like this.

Lu Chengwen is not the world's richest person, more than ten billion is almost the lifeblood of the Lu family.

The total assets of the Lu family do not exceed two hundred billion, more than ten billion is an astronomical figure for ordinary people, and for the Lu family, it is definitely a huge amount.

But fortunately, it's not a loss of cash. If it were a loss of more than ten billion in cash, the Lu family's capital chain would probably have problems.

If it's just losing the shares of a pharmaceutical factory, it's still acceptable.

Sitting in a business café with Xu Xuejiao, Lu Chengwen was amazed.

Xu Xuejiao was dressed completely unlike the new generation leader of a wealthy family.

Leng Qingqiu wears professional clothes every day, attends events in evening gowns, always elegant and dignified, always neat and capable.

Chen Mengyun prefers a more traditional style, often wearing cheongsams, Hanfu, etc., of course, most of the time, like Leng Qingqiu, she also wears professional clothes and high-end fashion.

Only Xu Xuejiao.

She rarely gets involved in business, likes to travel and take photos everywhere. Her clothes are also mainly casual, and quite a bit free-spirited.

Yesterday she wore a JK uniform to visit the Chen family, today she wore a pink princess dress.

Xu Xuejiao had her hair in twin tails, with a lollipop in her mouth.

A beautiful pink princess dress that not only shows youthful vitality but also appears pure and romantic.

Her slender legs were wearing short socks and a pair of brown casual leather shoes, even more playful and cute.

At this moment, she was looking at Lu Chengwen triumphantly.

"Sign it, rich man."

Lu Chengwen pulled over the contract, read it from beginning to end, and smiled bitterly: "When the media interviews you in the future, asking what your most successful business deal was, you have to remember this one."

"Mmm."

Watching Lu Chengwen carefully read the contract content, Xu Xuejiao smiled slightly.

Hmph! Let's see what excuses you can come up with to fob me off.

Lu Chengwen finished reading the contract and nodded: "No problem."

Xu Xuejiao was surprised: "No problem?"

"Mm."

Lu Chengwen picked up the pen, swished a few strokes and signed it.

Then he handed the contract to Xu Xuejiao.

Xu Xuejiao didn't need to look, she had been watching all along, Lu Chengwen didn't play any tricks, he really signed his name and even pressed his fingerprint.

At this moment, Xu Xuejiao didn't take the contract, just stared at Lu Chengwen in shock, her heart was extremely shocked!

What a joke!?

What kind of joke is this person playing!?

Because of a joke, he actually transferred more than seventeen billion in shares to me!?

Does he even know what he's doing?

In this world, even the world's richest person wouldn't do such a stupid thing!

Is this person crazy, stupid, an idiot, a big fool!?

Just find an excuse, shamelessly say it was a joke, a matter of life and death, I can't do anything to him!

Isn't he familiar with this kind of thing, an expert at it?

Lu Chengwen looked at the motionless Xu Xuejiao, also puzzled.

[Is this girl silly? Why isn't she moving?]

"Hey? Hey hey?" Lu Chengwen shook the contract twice: "Look at the contract, why are you looking at me?"

Xu Xuejiao frowned tightly, took the contract, but still stared straight at Lu Chengwen's face.

At this moment, Xu Xuejiao no longer had the playful, mischievous, laughing expression from before.

Her cute and delicate lolita face was frighteningly serious.

Her eyelids lowered, looked at a few places that needed signatures, no problem.

That is to say, as long as she keeps this contract well, today's net profit, more than seventeen billion!

And this is just the book profit.

Full control of the entire ninth pharmaceutical factory, the subsequent profits will be incalculable.

"Why?"

Lu Chengwen wiped the red ink pad off his hands with a wet wipe: "What do you mean why?"

"This contract."

Xu Xuejiao was somewhat annoyed: "Why sign it?"

"If I don't sign, wouldn't you say I don't keep my word?"

Xu Xuejiao stared at Lu Chengwen, wanting to find some clues from his expression.

Unfortunately, Lu Chengwen was as calm as usual, not caring at all.

Looking at Lu Chengwen's relaxed expression, Xu Xuejiao exploded.

"Lu Chengwen! What kind of trick are you playing! Speak!"

Lu Chengwen was startled by her sudden anger, looked into her eyes: "This... earning more than ten billion, why are you getting angry?"
