ACBNHTS Chapter 54

Chapter 54: Sheng Yiguang Has Ulterior Motives?

Wen Heng froze on the spot.

Jin Zhi avoided his gaze, feeling a little bit sorry after all.

“It’s cold outside, you should go back early.”

After saying that, he turned and left.

Wen Heng couldn’t believe it, wanting to scream, wanting to go crazy, wanting to slap Jin Zhi twice.

When he was sucking up to him, he called him “baby this,” “baby that,” “baby yyds,” but now that he’s taking the initiative, he says he’s stringing him along?

Why didn’t he complain when he was being strung along before?

System: [Host, don’t lose big for small gains, you have plenty of fish, don’t stare at this one, the fattest one is still Pei Du.]

Wen Heng gritted his teeth, “I know.”

He just wasn’t willing to give up.

Wen Heng then made a phone call to Lu Zhengyang and learned that Lu Zhengyang looked down on Sheng Yiguang, and that Sheng Yiguang’s biological mother had really come to his door. He felt a little relieved.

Good, good.

The overall direction was still right.

–

A few days later, the front desk informed Sheng Yiguang that a Mr. Lu was interested in cooperating with him. Sheng Yiguang asked the front desk to lead the person to the conference room.

He walked over and saw that it was Director Lu, whom he had seen in the elevator that day. He was a little surprised and went forward to exchange pleasantries.

“Director Lu.”

“Mr. Sheng, we meet again.” Lu Zhengyang smiled gently, shook Sheng Yiguang’s hand briefly, and then released it. “I must thank you for reminding me last time. After checking, that Manager Hu really had problems. I’m collecting evidence and preparing to fire him.”

Lu Zhengyang handed over a cooperation document, “No other intention, just want to thank you.”

Sheng Yiguang took it and flipped through it.

The profit margin was huge, like a pie falling from the sky.

Sheng Yiguang closed the document with a business-like attitude, “I’ll take a look at it and contact your company’s business department later.”

Lu Zhengyang agreed, “Okay.”

The conversation ended.

But Lu Zhengyang didn’t seem to want to leave.

The scene was a little awkward for a moment. Sheng Yiguang politely asked, “Director Lu, have you eaten yet?”

The corners of Lu Zhengyang’s mouth curled up, with a hint of mockery hidden in his eyes.

Sure enough.

People like Sheng Yiguang, who are single-mindedly trying to climb up, won’t just stare at one big tree. As long as there is a possibility, they will cling to it.

“Not yet.”

Sheng Yiguang paused.

Now that the conversation had reached this point, he couldn’t say, “Then you should go out and eat quickly.”

Sheng Yiguang tactfully asked, “If you don’t mind, would you like to try our company cafeteria?”

Normally, a young master from a wealthy family like him would definitely not—

“Sure.”

“…”

Sheng Yiguang had no choice but to take him to the company cafeteria.

Lu Zhengyang was very surprised when he entered the cafeteria.

“Is this your company’s food?”

There were more than twenty dishes, not to mention the mix of meat and vegetables, but there was also seafood. There were also several windows selling rice noodles, spicy hot pot, and so on. There were also roasted ducks hanging in the display case. There were also desserts on the counter.

Knowing that the company’s accommodation was deliberately arranged by Pei Du, Sheng Yiguang naturally knew that the company’s food was also arranged by Pei Du for him.

He didn’t mention it, and he and Pei Du tacitly pretended not to know.

Now that someone asked, Sheng Yiguang felt a little embarrassed, afraid that people would see through him, so he simply replied.

“Yes.”

Lu Zhengyang was increasingly surprised as he held his plate. A thought that he himself found absurd suddenly emerged in his mind.

Could it be that Pei Du arranged this for Sheng Yiguang?

This Sheng Yiguang really has some tricks, actually bewitching Pei’s family’s only grandson to this extent?

But soon, he figured it out.

Pei Du had lived in an ordinary family since he was a child and had never seen such tricks, so it was only natural that he would fall for them.

When he realizes Sheng Yiguang’s true colors in the future, he will definitely regret it.

Lu Zhengyang casually picked two dishes and suddenly heard someone calling Sheng Yiguang.

He turned his head.

Sheng Yiguang, who had just gotten soup, staggered two steps in his direction. The soup spilled out, splashing right onto Lu Zhengyang’s suit.

Lu Zhengyang lowered his eyes and glanced at it, sneering in his heart.

See?

What did he say?

Wasn’t this just getting started?

The culprit, Sun Mo, exclaimed, “Crap! I didn’t do it on purpose! How much does the suit cost? I’ll pay for it.”

He just lightly patted Sheng Yiguang, but he didn’t expect to scare him.

Sheng Yiguang put down the plate, took a handkerchief from his pocket, and handed it to Lu Zhengyang.

“I’m sorry.”

“It’s okay.”

Lu Zhengyang smiled gently, secretly sneering in his heart.

There was even someone to cooperate with him.

It was a bit more clever than the usual trick of throwing wine on him.

Lu Zhengyang pretended to be embarrassed, “The suit isn’t worth much, but I have a meeting this afternoon, so it might be a bit troublesome.”

Sheng Yiguang suggested, “If Director Lu doesn’t mind, you can give me the size of your clothes, and I’ll have someone buy you a set. It should be delivered by the time we finish eating. You can change in my office.”

A layer of frost covered Lu Zhengyang’s eyes.

Change clothes in his office?

Lu Zhengyang slowly curled the corners of his lips, “Okay, then I’ll have to trouble you.”

Sheng Yiguang called over the intern, noted Lu Zhengyang’s suit size, and asked him to go to the nearest shopping mall to buy a set and bring it back, with the cost covered by him.

Sun Mo felt bad, “I’ll pay for it.”

Sheng Yiguang glanced at him and nodded, “Okay, you pay for it.”

“…Aren’t you going to be polite with me?”

“It’s your fault in the first place.”

Sun Mo had nothing to say and simply transferred the money to the intern.

After eating, the intern came back with the clothes.

Sheng Yiguang led Lu Zhengyang into his office.

Lu Zhengyang looked at the suit hanging in the room and slowly unbuttoned his jacket. He had only unbuttoned the second button when he heard the sound of the door opening, as he had expected.

He sneered and turned his head.

He unexpectedly met the eyes of the cleaning lady.

Lu Zhengyang: “…”

The cleaning lady exclaimed, “Oh dear! I thought no one was here, sorry, sorry. Manager Sheng’s office is cleaned at this time.”

The cleaning lady said and retreated.

Lu Zhengyang frowned slightly, and no one opened the door again until he finished changing.

He changed into the suit and went out, walking around before seeing Sheng Yiguang sitting in the rest area. He was holding a coffee cup, talking to someone on the phone, with a soft smile that was completely different from the cold and detached look he had when facing him.

Could it be that he guessed wrong?

But that bowl of soup had really splashed on him.

Could it be a coincidence?

There are no such things as coincidences in the world.

Just as Lu Zhengyang was thinking, Sheng Yiguang hung up the phone and walked towards him.

The smile on his face was completely gone, and he was back to being that person like white tea under the moonlight.

“Director Lu, this suit looks very good on you.”

Lu Zhengyang smiled faintly, “That’s because Manager Sheng has good taste.”

“The intern chose it, not me.”

This sentence clearly distinguished the boundaries.

Lu Zhengyang smiled, but the smile didn’t reach his eyes.

He still believed in his judgment and slowly threw out the delicious bait.

“By the way, Manager Sheng, how do you want to deal with Manager Hu under my command? I understand that you have some personal grievances with him. If you have any ideas, please feel free to speak up.”

“Director Lu is too polite. He’s your subordinate, not mine.”

In other words, how he’s dealt with is none of his business.

Lu Zhengyang raised his eyebrows.

He’s not taking the bait even now?

Is it that he’s not attractive enough, or is Sheng Yiguang really not the kind of person with ulterior motives?
