Chapter 31
In his opinion, Lu Chen must have been deceived, otherwise, how could he have such a beautiful woman as his company?
“So what? As long as I like it.” Concubine Cao Xuan smiled half-smile.
“Beauty, with your temperament and appearance, you can marry into a wealthy family. Why do you have to suffer with this guy?” Yang Wei was a little puzzled.
“What does a wealthy family mean? In my eyes, Lu Chen is the best.” Concubine Cao Xuan took advantage of the situation and took her arm.
“excellent?”
Yang Wei sneered: “If you want money but have no money, if you want power but no power, if you want ability but no ability, how can you talk about excellence?”
“At least, he’s handsomer than you.” Concubine Cao Xuan showed no mercy.
“Humph! What’s the use of being handsome? After all, he’s just a pretty boy!”
Yang Wei’s face darkened and he warned: “Beauty, don’t blame me for not warning you. If you continue to persist in your stubbornness, you will regret it when you are defrauded of money and sex!”
“Cheating money and sex?”
Concubine Cao Xuan chuckled, and the flower branches trembled: “I think so, just because I’m afraid he won’t want to.”
These explicit words not only made Li Qingyao and the others frown.
Even Lu Chen couldn’t stand it anymore.
This woman is so charming that ordinary people really can’t bear it.
“Beauty! Didn’t you understand? This guy is a liar! You won’t gain anything by following him!”
Seeing that his provocation had no effect, Yang Wei was obviously a little anxious.
He couldn’t bear that such a great beauty would eventually be ruined by Chase Lu.
“Hey! I said are you annoying? Whoever I like to hang out with is none of your business!” Concubine Cao Xuan obviously lost her patience.
“you–”
Yang Wei almost vomited blood.
He really didn’t expect that the person in front of him would be so stubborn.
Even though he knew he was being cheated, he still cheated on him.
Is this pretty face so charming?
“Young Master Yang, this kind of person deserves to be cheated. If you kindly remind her, it’s fine if she doesn’t appreciate it, but she still speaks rudely. It’s really a dog biting Lu Dongbin, who doesn’t know good people!” Secretary Zhang said ambiguously beside him.
“Huh! You can’t even be a good person these days!” Yang Wei was a little indignant.
Of course, the main reason is jealousy.
“You should have known each other for a long time, right?”
Suddenly, Li Qingyao asked a question abruptly.
Concubine Cao Xuan’s behavior made her suspect that the two had an affair.
Otherwise, how could the other party be so determined?
Chapter 32
“It doesn’t matter how long it takes. What matters is that we are in love.”
Concubine Cao Xuan smiled slightly.
While speaking, he also used his fullness to squeeze Lu Chen’s arm, as if to declare his sovereignty.
Seeing this scene, Li Qingyao’s eyes became colder.
Although she knew that Concubine Cao Xuan was deliberately stimulating her, she still felt very uncomfortable.
It was as if something had been snatched away.
“Lu Chen, I didn’t expect you to hide so deeply. Before you got divorced, you had already found a way out in advance. I really missed it!”
Li Qingyao tried his best to suppress his emotions.
Because of the divorce, she has always been brooding about it and felt that she owed the other party.
Unexpectedly, when she was thinking about how to make up, the other party was already hugging her left and right.
After a long time, it turned out that she was the clown who was being teased!
“If you think so, I have nothing to say.” Lu Chen didn’t bother to explain.
“Very good. I felt I owed you something before, but now it seems that we are settled!” Li Qingyao’s face turned cold.
That look was like looking at a stranger.
“So much the better.”
Chase Lu’s face was expressionless.
It’s just that the heart twitched inexplicably.
“Miss Li……”
At this time, Concubine Cao Xuan suddenly smiled and said: “Although your choice is not very wise, I still have to thank you.”
“Thank me for what?” Li Qingyao slowly raised her head.
“Thank you for letting Lu Chen to me, otherwise, I would not have found such a treasure.” Cao Xuanfei smiled meaningfully.
These words are simply killing people!
“Hey! You vixen…”
Secretary Zhang was about to have a seizure, but Li Qingyao raised his hand to stop him, and said with unwavering eyes: “The treasure in your eyes, in my opinion, is just average.”
“generally?”
Concubine Cao Xuan raised her eyebrows: “Are you average in both civil and military skills? Miss Li’s vision is really high; but let me see, the person next to you is not very good.”
“No matter how bad it is, he is better than Lu Chen.” Li Qingyao confronted each other.
“Really? Why don’t we make a bet?” Concubine Cao Xuan looked amused.
“What bet?”
“Bet on which of the two of them is better and who has more achievements? How about a one-month deadline?”
Chapter 33
As soon as these words came out, all three of them were taken aback.
No one expected that the other party would make such a request.
“Hehe…I said beauty, did you take the wrong medicine? You let this trash compare to me? Does he deserve it?!”
Yang Wei sneered, as if he was looking at an idiot.
“That’s right! Mr. Yang is the successor of Yang’s Medicine, with more than one billion assets to his name. Who is Chen Lu? How can he be compared with Mr. Yang?!” Secretary Zhang curled his lips disdainfully.
“Are you sure you want to bet on this?” Li Qingyao was a little surprised.
In her opinion, Lu Chen has almost nothing but good looks.
On the other hand, Yang Wei, regardless of his family background, background, or personal ability, would crush his opponent.
The two are not on the same level at all.
Let alone one month, Lu Chen would never be able to catch up with Yang Wei even if it took three to five years.
“Of course I’m sure, it depends on whether you dare to gamble.” Concubine Cao Xuan raised her chin.
“What’s the bet?”
“Whoever loses should apologize to the other party and at the same time admit that he has no eyes.”
“Okay, no problem.” Li Qingyao nodded.
“Then it’s a deal, I hope you won’t regret it!” Concubine Cao Xuan smiled.
Two beauties who are equally stunning but with different temperaments are secretly competing with each other at this moment.
“We will see when the time comes.”
Li Qingyao didn’t say much, and after taking a deep look at Concubine Cao Xuan, she turned and entered Fengming Tower.
“Humph! What a shame!”
Yang Wei and the two sneered and walked in.
From the beginning to the end, they didn’t take Lu Chen seriously at all.
“Mr. Lu, how is it? Are you satisfied with my performance just now?”
Concubine Cao Xuan stroked her hair beside her ears.
Although it’s just a simple action, it still has a lot of style.
“The drama was a little too much.”
Lu Chen said helplessly: “As you are, if you lose, you won’t look good in face.”
“Losing? Are you kidding me? Could it be that Mr. Lu can’t even win against that wretched man?” Concubine Cao Xuan started agitating.
“I’m an ordinary person, how can I compare with the rich second generation?” Lu Chen shrugged.
“Ordinary people? Mr. Lu is too humble. Your face alone is already extraordinary!”
Concubine Cao Xuan blinked ambiguously, like an old gangster teasing women from her natal family.
Chapter 34
Lu Chen was a little speechless, as if he didn’t see it.
I have to admit that Concubine Cao Xuan’s performance just now was indeed impeccable, which earned him a lot of face.
After all, there are very few women who can hold down Li Qingyao’s limelight.
Undoubtedly, Concubine Cao Xuan is one of them.
After walking into Fengming Tower.
Secretary Zhang was still a little bit aggrieved.
“Hmph! That woman is pretty pretty, but I wonder if she’s blind to fall in love with that loser Lu Chen.”
“Who said it wasn’t? It’s really a flower stuck in cow dung!” Yang Wei also sighed.
He is handsome and rich, why can’t he find such a top quality person?
“Okay, let’s not talk about this for now. We are here to do business today.”
Li Qingyao changed the subject and said, “Secretary Zhang, go and find out who is in charge of the Cao family tonight. It would be best if you can make an introduction.”
“A best friend of mine happens to be working here, so I’ll call her right away.”
As Secretary Zhang said, he immediately took out his cell phone and dialed a certain number.
After a while, he replied: “Ms. Li, I have already made it clear that today’s charity party is organized by Director Cao himself. As for who to choose as a partner, it depends on her preferences.”
“Cao Dong? Could it be that business queen?”
Li Qingyao’s eyes lit up and he became energetic instantly.
Queen Cao’s reputation can be described as thunderous.
A woman crushed almost all the men in Jiangling by herself.
Even she had to admire such a existence.
But unfortunately, she has never seen each other.
“Secretary Zhang! Ask your friend again if he can help us arrange a private meeting with Director Cao? This opportunity should not be missed!” Li Qingyao spoke again.
“My best friend said I can give it a try, but I can’t guarantee anything.” Secretary Zhang added.
“Okay! Then I’ll trouble her. I’ll definitely thank you deeply when the job is done!”
Li Qingyao couldn’t help looking forward to it.
The qualifications of the Cao family’s partner are very important to her.
If she could meet Director Cao in advance, she would have enough confidence to convince him and recognize her.
…
As time goes by, more and more guests are in Fengming Tower.
The party hasn’t started yet, but Concubine Cao Xuan is already busy.
“Mr. Lu, you go shopping around first, I’m sorry, if you need anything, please tell the people around you at any time.”
Chapter 35
“Okay, thank you.”
“Xiao Hong, take care of Mr. Lu for me.”
After saying hello, Concubine Cao Xuan went to the Tianzi No. 1 private room.
Here is her private office.
“Miss…”
As soon as he entered the private room, a middle-aged manager came over with some documents: “This is the information you asked for. After screening at all levels, only these four companies meet the requirements of our partners. Take a look. Is there anything to add?”
“Um.”
Concubine Cao Xuan nodded, without speaking, picked up the documents and began to review them.
After a while, she suddenly raised her eyebrows, seeming to be in high spirits.
“Huh? What a coincidence.”
Concubine Cao Xuan raised her lips with a playful smile.
Because she saw the Qingcheng Group’s information and Li Qingyao’s personal resume.
Out of curiosity, she read all the information verbatim.
Soon, she noticed something unusual.
Because three years ago, Li Qingyao was just a nobody.
The so-called Qingcheng Group is even more ignored.
But since getting married, Li Qingyao has begun to grow and develop rapidly, as if with divine help.
In just three years, a small company with a few million has been built into a large group worth more than one billion!
During this period, she not only made a lot of investments, but also received a steady stream of orders for various projects.
This posture is obviously controlled by someone secretly and force-feeding food into the mouth!
The problem is, Li Qingyao has no family background, so who would help her like this?
“Could it be…him?”
Lu Chen’s figure appeared in Concubine Cao Xuan’s mind.
Because apart from the other party, she really couldn’t think of anyone else who would help Li Qingyao so unconditionally?
So, she became even more curious.
Who is Lu Chen?
Being able to push Qingcheng Group to this level in just three years is obviously not something that ordinary people can do.
“Lu Chen, Lu Chen, what secrets are you hiding?”
Concubine Cao Xuan narrowed her eyes slightly, her interest gradually increased.
“And what about Li Qingyao… I really don’t know what you are thinking. If you don’t want such a wealthy son-in-law, you have to get entangled with Yang Xiaobao. Isn’t this a brain disease?”
Chapter 36
Concubine Cao Xuan sighed secretly in her heart, rather not angry.
A man silently paid so much for a woman.
As a result, this woman was not only unaware, but even self-righteously chose to divorce.
She really didn’t know what to scold.
But after thinking about it, this seems not bad. At least, she has a chance to poach someone.
“Miss, are you going to choose Li Qingyao from the Qingcheng Group?” the steward next to him asked tentatively.
It’s rare for him to see his own lady read the information so seriously.
“Li Qingyao? Humph…”
Concubine Cao Xuan said with some dissatisfaction: “Although she meets the qualifications of my Cao family’s partner, I don’t like her.”
“Understood, I will kick her off the Cao family’s candidate list immediately!” The manager quickly understood.
“Don’t worry, you can reorganize and show the information to Mr. Lu, and let him make this decision.” Concubine Cao Xuan said with a half-smile.
“yes.”
Although the steward didn’t know the reason, he didn’t dare to ask any more questions.
“Anything else?”
Seeing that the person in front of her did not leave, Concubine Cao Xuan asked again casually.
“Miss, Zhao Tianlong from Dafa Group came just now and asked to see you by name.” The steward lowered his head and replied.
“Zhao Tianlong? Zhao Hu’s son? What is he doing here?” Concubine Cao Xuan was quite surprised.
“It’s about business, but I don’t think the visitor is kind. Do you want to send someone to drive him away?”
“If I don’t come, why don’t I send my son here? Haha… Don’t bother with me, I just want to see what tricks he can do?”
At this moment, the party hall is already very lively.
On the stage, a group of graceful women wearing Hanfu were dancing classical dances from the Han and Tang Dynasties.
Every frown, every smile, every move is full of charm and extremely beautiful.
Make people linger.
In the audience, sat a group of well-dressed celebrities.
Some exchanged glasses and chatted with each other, while others silently enjoyed the show.
Chase Lu found an empty seat and sat down, drinking juice while watching the show.
“Yo! The surname is Lu! Didn’t expect you to really sneak in?”
While watching with relish, a discordant voice sounded from the side.
Lu Chen glanced casually, just in time to see Yang Wei, Li Qingyao and others.
“Hmph! What a bad luck, why are you everywhere?!” Secretary Zhang looked unhappy.
Chapter 37
Li Qingyao didn’t speak, and after a cold glance, he sat down in the empty seat in the front row.
“The surname Lu is going to hold a charity auction soon. Do you have any money? How dare you take this position?” Yang Wei sneered.
“Can’t sit if you don’t have money?” Lu Chen asked back.
“Hey! You’re right, if you don’t have money, you really can’t sit! How can a guy like you who eats and drinks for nothing deserves to sit with us?” Yang Wei looked contemptuous.
“Did you hear that? Hurry up and give up your seat!” Secretary Zhang kicked the chair.
“What if I don’t let it go?” Lu Chen raised his eyes slightly.
“No? Then I’ll ask the security to kick you out!” Secretary Zhang threatened.
“You can try.” Lu Chen looked indifferent.
“Okay! You asked for it yourself! It’s no wonder I’m ashamed when the time comes!”
Secretary Zhang was about to raise his hand to call for someone, but Li Qingyao stopped him: “Forget it, he can sit down if he wants.”
“President Li?” Secretary Zhang frowned.
“Just take care of yourself.” Li Qingyao said lightly.
“Hmph! It’s really cheap for you!”
Secretary Zhang glared and finally gave up.
At this time, the phone rang suddenly.
When Secretary Zhang answered the call, his expression froze.
The arrogant face just now has been replaced by panic at this moment.
“What’s wrong?” Li Qingyao quickly noticed the abnormality.
“Ms. Li… something big happened!”
Secretary Zhang said nervously: “I just received internal news that the Cao family seems to be kicking our Qingcheng Group off the candidate list!”
“What?!”
As soon as these words came out, Li Qingyao’s complexion changed immediately: “Are you sure the news is true?!”
“It should be right, my best friend happened to overhear it when she was doing errands.” Secretary Zhang said.
“how so?”
Li Qingyao’s face was a little ugly.
In order to be on this pre-selection list, she had to waste a lot of energy.
Not only did they spend a lot of money, but they also owed a lot of favors.
I thought that if I entered the pre-selection list, as long as I met Cao Dong again, I would be able to secure the qualification of partner.
Unexpectedly, at the last moment, he was kicked out inexplicably, without even a single sign.
In the end what happened?
Chapter 38
“Ms. Li, what should we do now? If we can’t make it to the pre-selection list, wouldn’t all our previous efforts be in vain?” Secretary Zhang was a little unwilling.
“Let me see…”
Li Qingyao frowned deeply.
Becoming a partner of the Cao family is secondary to making money. The most important thing is to improve your identity and status.
Although the Qingcheng Group has developed rapidly, it has no background.
If you can get on the big ship of the Cao family, it is equivalent to having a backer.
Success is just around the corner!
Unfortunately, now, everything has come to naught.
“Mr. Lu…”
At this time, a Cao family steward suddenly walked up to Lu Chen and handed over a document: “Miss, I want you to take a look and make the final decision.”
“Um?”
Lu Chen took it and took a look, his expression turned a little strange.
That’s right, what he was holding in his hand was information related to Li Qingyao and the Qingcheng Group.
The question raised by Concubine Cao Xuan was, should she be kicked off the partner’s candidate list?
“What the hell is this woman doing?”
Lu Chen touched his chin, a little uncertain.
Obviously, this is what Concubine Cao Xuan did on purpose.
The power of life and death of the Qingcheng Group was specially given to him to decide.
After hesitating again and again, Lu Chen still chose no.
Although he and Li Qingyao have divorced, they are far from seeking revenge.
After all, the two parties have been married for three years.
No matter what, he still hoped that the other party would have a good life.
“Mr. Lu, are you sure you want to do this?” the steward asked tentatively.
After all, the eldest lady doesn’t like Li Qingyao.
“OK.” Lu Chen nodded.
“Okay, let’s do as you decide.”
The steward smiled politely, then took the documents and left.
It’s just that in his heart, he couldn’t help but underestimate it a little.
You know, this is the best time to please the eldest lady.
At this moment, in the front row.
Chapter 39
Li Qingyao and Li Qingyao, who didn’t know anything about it, were still worried about this matter.
The decision made by the Cao family, with their current personal connections, it is difficult for the other party to change their mind.
“Ahem…”
At this time, Yang Wei suddenly coughed twice, attracting the attention of several people, and then said: “Qingyao, if it’s about the preliminary list, I should be able to help.”
“real?”
Secretary Zhang’s eyes lit up and he said quickly: “Young Master Yang, what can you do?”
“To be honest, my dad has some friendship with Mr. Cao. As long as my dad opens his mouth, I believe the Cao family will still show some respect.” Yang Wei said proudly.
“Really? That’s great!”
Secretary Zhang immediately became excited: “Young Master Yang, if you can help us with this, you will be our great benefactor of Qingcheng Group from now on!”
“It’s easy to talk, I’ll call right away.”
Yang Wei smiled happily, then took out his cell phone and dialed his father’s number.
And he briefly explained what happened.
“Okay, I understand. If I have time, I will talk to Mr. Cao.”
After Yang’s father said something perfunctory, he hung up the phone.
Yang Wei still thought that there was no problem, so he immediately started claiming credit and said, “My dad has already agreed. Just don’t worry, this matter will be resolved soon.”
“Okay, okay, with Young Master Yang’s words, we can rest assured!” Secretary Zhang couldn’t help but heaved a sigh of relief.
“Thank you, Mr. Yang.” Li Qingyao also thanked him.
“It’s a trivial matter, not worth mentioning.” Yang Wei pretended to be generous and waved his hand.
He looked at Chase Lu with a provocative look.
Lu Chen continued to drink juice and didn’t bother to pay attention.
At this moment, Li Qingyao’s bell rang suddenly.
He took out his cell phone and saw that it was a call from the general manager of Cao Group.
“Hey, is this Ms. Li? I have good news for you. The higher-ups have decided to choose you to be a partner of the Cao family…”
“partner?”
Hearing this, Li Qingyao couldn’t help being stunned.
In other words, I can’t believe it.
Because what the other party said was not a pre-selection list, but directly appointed her as the partner of the Cao family!
Even the final assessment was skipped.
what’s the situation? !
“What you said just now is true?” Li Qingyao asked tentatively.
Chapter 40
“Can it be fake? If you don’t believe me, come to the company directly to sign the contract tomorrow; well, I still have something to do, so I’ll hang up first.”
After a few simple words, the other party hung up the phone.
At this moment, Li Qingyao was surprised and happy.
She really didn’t expect that things would progress so smoothly.
She was about to be kicked out of the pre-selection list, but in the blink of an eye, she became a partner of the Cao family.
Happiness comes too suddenly.
Of course, Yang Wei’s phone call probably played a role in her successful campaign.
It’s just that she didn’t expect that the Yang family’s energy was so great, and just a phone call changed the decision of the Cao family.
This is really a surprise!
“Ms. Li, how are you? Are there any results?” Secretary Zhang asked tentatively.
“That’s right.”
Li Qingyao nodded and smiled rarely: “Just now, the general manager of the Cao Group personally called and said that I have become a partner of the Cao Group!”
As soon as these words came out, Secretary Zhang immediately cheered: “Great! I knew there would be no problem!”
“Thanks to Young Master Yang’s help, otherwise it would not have been so smooth.” Li Qingyao nodded in gratitude.
“That’s right, that’s right! Young Master Yang really has great powers, and he can get it done with just a few words!” Secretary Zhang praised repeatedly.
“It’s all thanks to my dad.” Yang Wei smiled.
Although the words were modest, the smugness on that face couldn’t be concealed no matter what.
In fact, he felt a little strange.
When did his father’s efficiency become so fast?
“Lu Chen! See it? This is the gap!”
Secretary Zhang turned his eyes, looked at Lu Chen behind him suddenly, and said sarcastically, “Young Master Yang can easily settle the position of partner with just a word; what about you? What skills do you have?”
“Don’t say that, isn’t he still eating and drinking?” Yang Wei laughed jokingly.
“Hmph! Besides eating soft food, what else can he do? As long as he has some ability, he won’t be like this!”
Seeing that Lu Chen remained silent, Secretary Zhang became even more arrogant: “It’s a pity that the vixen is not here, otherwise, I really have to show her how useless the man she chose is!”
“Are you done? When you’re done, get out of the way and don’t block me from watching the show.” Lu Chen said calmly.
“What? Are you impatient to say a few words to you? If you are half as capable as Mr. Yang, are you still afraid of others saying it? It’s really impossible to hold up the wall!” Secretary Zhang said sarcastically.
“Oh? Then I’d like to ask you, what kind of skills does Yang Wei have?” Lu Chen’s face turned cold.
Although he was low-key, it didn’t mean he would allow anyone to insult him.
The clay bodhisattva also has three points of anger, let alone him?
“Young Master Yang can win the partner qualification of Cao’s family by just making a random phone call. Isn’t that a skill?” Secretary Zhang gave a condescending expression.
