ACBNHTS Chapter 67

Chapter 67: He’s So Charming

Yin Xue was somewhat tempted.

Her son was out of the question.

But surely she could attend a high-society banquet, right?

With her looks, she wouldn’t have trouble finding a new sugar daddy! And then she could kick Hu Jiawei to the curb and start over!

Yin Xue worried about running into Sheng Yiguang and his boyfriend, and became vigilant.

“What kind of high-society banquet?”

“Just a normal banquet~ I can tell people you’re my older sister and bring you in.”

Yin Xue wanted to agree on the spot, but mindful of the live broadcast, she pretended to decline.

“Wouldn’t that be too much trouble for you?”

“No, I’m very familiar with them. You know, my live stream is mostly young masters and ladies, so just saying a word will do.”

Yin Xue was extremely tempted. “Then I’ll trouble you.”

Wen Heng also smiled, a genuine smile.

“Okay, it’s settled then~ Sis, accept my friend request, and I’ll send someone to pick you up then.”

“Okay~~”

The viewers in Wen Heng’s live stream found it strange.

[You’ve streamed with so many people before, but you never invited any of them. Why invite her suddenly?]

[Getting vibes of luring someone to Myanmar]

[Never mind, can’t you see it’s a willing buyer and a willing seller? The person on the other side practically has “I want to go” written all over her face]

…

Wen Heng ignored the viewers in the live stream. With Yin Xue settled, he immediately contacted Lu Zhengyang.

If he could get Lu Zhengyang to, as a shareholder, use Sheng Yiguang’s mother to make things difficult for Pei Du, then other shareholders who already opposed Pei Du would jump out and direct their attacks at him.

Then Pei Du would have to choose between the company and Sheng Yiguang.

No matter what Pei Du chose.

Sheng Yiguang definitely wouldn’t want to see Pei Du get hurt, be removed from his position, or leave the company!

He would proactively withdraw and leave Pei Du!

Wen Heng felt delighted just thinking about that scene.

Wen Heng sent several messages to Lu Zhengyang in a row, but received no response, so he anxiously called him…

Sheng Yiguang glanced at the phone that had been ringing non-stop since just now, and asked,

“Why don’t you answer your phone?”

Lu Zhengyang hung up the phone directly and muted it.

“It’s just a spam call, you don’t have to worry about it, continue.”

Sheng Yiguang paused.

The last time they met at Pei Du’s company, he saw Lu Zhengyang’s message, didn’t reply then, but replied to him later.

It was tactful, but very clear.

First, the project between the company and Lu Zhengyang was being handled by other groups.

Second, he took a leave of absence from the company the day he went to see Pei Du.

It was private time then, and he didn’t have to deal with work.

Lu Zhengyang didn’t say anything on WeChat then.

But today he came looking for him.

Saying he was very worried about the project and specifically wanted him to tell him about the situation.

Sheng Yiguang closed the document in his hand, controlled his tone, and explained things clearly to Lu Zhengyang directly.

“I’m not the person in charge of this project. If you want to understand the specific content, you still need to find the project leader.”

Lu Zhengyang refused directly.

“I don’t want to, I’m not very familiar with other people.”

Sheng Yiguang frowned, his voice was gentle, but he had no expression on his face.

“Are you here to make trouble for me?”

Lu Zhengyang smiled. “How could I be? Do I look like that kind of person?”

Yes.

Sheng Yiguang didn’t say it directly, quietly looking at him, letting him realize it himself.

Lu Zhengyang smiled again. “I didn’t expect that in your eyes, I would be this kind of person. But, why would I make things difficult for you? We don’t have any grudges.”

“Maybe it’s for Wen Heng.”

The comments in the live stream said that the person in front of him was Wen Heng’s simp.

Then it was very likely that he would, for Wen Heng’s sake, use all kinds of petty tricks to make his life difficult.

Wen Heng was gone.

But there were simps for Wen Heng everywhere.

As soon as the words came out, Lu Zhengyang’s expression froze slightly, then he smiled, the joy in his smile was much less, and there was more coldness.

It was as if mentioning this person made him very unhappy.

“I just gave him some gifts, it’s not enough to say I’m making things difficult for you for his sake. Our relationship isn’t that good.”

Would he believe that?

If their relationship wasn’t good, why would he give him gifts?

If he had too much money, why didn’t he donate to charity?

Lu Zhengyang changed the subject. “But you, your relationship with Pei Du seems very good? But I heard that he’s mentally ill.”

Sheng Yiguang’s gaze suddenly turned cold.

“General Manager Lu looks like a smart person, would he believe this kind of rumor too?”

Lu Zhengyang pretended not to see Sheng Yiguang’s suddenly cold eyes, didn’t hear the displeasure in his voice, and continued to speak.

“Actually, I heard this news two years ago, I couldn’t believe it at the time. I didn’t expect that he looked so talented, and was even a Tsinghua graduate, but he turned out to be mentally ill. No wonder the directors of the Pei family have always been unsupportive of him.”

Sheng Yiguang’s eyes were like the edge of a knife, reflecting a cold light.

“He’s not.”

Lu Zhengyang didn’t know what was wrong with himself.

The more he saw Sheng Yiguang’s gaze, full of coldness as he defended Pei Du, the more he spoke without thinking.

He even found a strange sense of pleasure in seeing Sheng Yiguang’s expression, which was different from usual.

Lu Zhengyang remembered the knife he saw in the private room last time.

“Really not? Are you sure?”

Sheng Yiguang looked at him coldly, wanting to see his purpose.

Lu Zhengyang: “Maybe, one day he’ll be unhappy because of something you said, and stick a knife on your table, forcing you to do something you don’t want to do. I think this kind of person should be locked up in a mental hospital.”

Sheng Yiguang didn’t say anything.

Lu Zhengyang sized up his expression and asked with a smile.

“I’m very curious, why are you with this kind of person? I think you deserve better.”

The question was thrown out.

But no one answered.

The conference room was extremely quiet, so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

Lu Zhengyang instinctively felt that the situation was getting out of control.

“Do you like me?”

Lu Zhengyang’s brain went blank instantly, and he subconsciously denied it.

“No.”

“Then do you like Wen Heng?”

“I just said, no.”

“Then why are you here slandering Pei Du, interfering with who I’m with, and what I do?”

The initiative leaned towards Sheng Yiguang.

Lu Zhengyang choked, but quickly asked with a normal expression, “We’re friends, right?”

“No.”

“…”

“General Manager Lu has been in charge of the family business since he was young, and has been floating in the business world for more than ten years, with countless projects he’s handled. The number of people who admire you is also countless. But if today’s words get out, I’m afraid some people will misunderstand that the Lu family is about to be finished.”

Hearing this, Lu Zhengyang’s false smile faded, revealing the cold sharpness under the mask.

Sheng Yiguang: “The projects that the company wants to promote require data and facts to be speculated, the profit margin needs to be calculated, the risk needs to be avoided by due diligence, and after rounds and rounds of screening, a decision is made before the project is promoted.”

Sheng Yiguang: “I heard that ‘I heard’ and ‘I think’ are words commonly used by marketing accounts, and gossip is what entertainment tabloids like to focus on, they shouldn’t appear on the conference table.”

Sheng Yiguang: “General Manager Lu trusts rumors, doesn’t listen to explanations, and insists on finding me, who is not responsible for the project, to understand the project progress, which makes me make the judgment that General Manager Lu is not suitable for cooperating with our company.”

Lu Zhengyang had never been told this before.

This was no different from pointing at his nose and scolding him for being unprofessional and incompetent.

But he wasn’t very angry.

He only felt that Sheng Yiguang calmly and coldly found his loopholes, then coldly scolded him without a single dirty word, and that look was so charming.

“Sounds reasonable, but actually you’re just opposing me for Pei Du’s sake.”

“Yes.”

Sheng Yiguang admitted frankly.

“He’s both the real boss of our company and my boyfriend. If I don’t protect him, am I supposed to side with you? Besides, you were in the wrong in the first place.”

Lu Zhengyang looked at Sheng Yiguang with interest, his gaze unable to move away.

“Then what if I insist on saying that about him? I’m not only going to say it, but I’m also going to go outside and say it everywhere.”

“Then I should probably throw the water in my hand on your face.”

Lu Zhengyang laughed.

“But I’m your client.”

Sheng Yiguang didn’t want to bring up his identity.

But if he had to say it that way.

“I can also be considered another boss here.”

Lu Zhengyang chuckled.

Sheng Yiguang found his laughter inexplicable.

What was he laughing at?

Lu Zhengyang laughed for a long time, propping up his face, his gaze lingering on Sheng Yiguang’s face.

“Then what do you want, boss, for you to be willing to continue cooperating with me?”

“Apologize.”

Lu Zhengyang followed his lead and apologized immediately.

“I’m sorry.”

Lu Zhengyang: “Now that I’ve apologized, can President Sheng continue to tell me about the project details?”

No.

Even if he apologized, Sheng Yiguang didn’t want to pay attention to him.

“I’ll find someone for you.”

Sheng Yiguang asked the assistant to call everyone from the project team over to explain it to Lu Zhengyang.

Explain it to him to death!

Explain every punctuation mark to him clearly!

See if he would come again in the future!

There was no big conflict in the conference room, but Sheng Yiguang had almost pasted the words “I don’t like Lu Zhengyang” on his face, so the people below naturally saw it and speculated about what had happened.

Even Pei Du knew about it.

Pei Du called, and the first sentence he said was.

“Did Lu Zhengyang bully you?”

“No.”

Just after he finished speaking, the sound of a car unlocking came from the other side.

Sheng Yiguang vaguely had a guess, and his heart beat a little faster.

“Are you coming?”

“Yes.”

His bb, who usually had such a good temper, would put on a stinky face, so the other party must have said or done something very excessive.

The Lu family was one of the top families in Lingang.

As for Lu Zhengyang, he was even one of the best of the younger generation.

He wasn’t a simple person.

His simple and lovely bb could easily suffer at the hands of this kind of black-hearted person.

Sheng Yiguang: “No need, I’m not being bullied, you don’t have to make a trip.”

“I’m worried that you’re only reporting good news and not bad news, I still need to see it with my own eyes to feel at ease.”

“I really wasn’t being bullied, it’s just that he said bad things about you.”

The voice on the phone stopped.

Then came a chuckle, “Little brother, why do you like me so much? Now people can’t even say a word about me?”

Sheng Yiguang’s face heated up from his teasing, “Not just one word.”

“Then how many words?”

“Several words.”

Pei Du kept laughing on the phone.

“Okay, I’ll be there in a while, and you can tell me about it in detail?”

“Okay, good.”

After hanging up the phone, Pei Du arrived in a short while.

He didn’t go through the main entrance, but took the elevator from the underground parking lot.

Because it wasn’t rush hour, there was no one in the elevator.

It wasn’t until he reached the office floor that someone saw him.

Pei Du directly ignored them and went straight to Sheng Yiguang’s office, pushed open the door, saw him, smiled and hugged him, kissed him, then held his face and looked at him carefully.
