Chapter 59: Lu Yi

Especially when this reckless person actually said such words? Director Chen looked at Mu Lian coldly. He made up his mind that when he returned to the company, he would ban Mu Lian completely. Such a brainless person might cause trouble in the future.

Just as Director Chen did not know what to say to salvage the situation, Su Yan curled her lips slightly. “It’s alright. There are always some people who are unwilling to believe the truth. This is not Director Chen’s fault.”

Director Chen quickly wiped the cold sweat off his forehead and nodded. This reaction meant that Director Chen was not mistaken. Mu Lian took a step back dejectedly.

It was over, it was over. Everything was over.

All of the beautiful futures that Mu Lian had imagined had come to an end at this moment. However, when she saw Su Yan’s expression, Mu Lian still felt indignant. She hated Su Yan’s good luck.

Why was she not a lost child from a wealthy family? Why am I not lucky?

Looking at Mu Lian’s dejected back view, Su Yan sighed and wrapped her arms around Shi Qing’s neck. “So this story tells us that we can’t be too arrogant. There’s always someone better out there, who knows when we might suffer.”

Shi Qing’s standard of sweet nothings seemed to have suddenly been maxed out. He patted her hands and said, “You can be arrogant and do whatever you want. I will protect you.”

Su Yan was elated but rebuked, “How can I hide behind you forever? I have to face the storm myself.” With that said, Su Yan was a little puzzled. “I keep feeling like our order is reversed.”

Shi Qing blinked and looked at Su Yan in confusion.

Su Yan said, “Don’t people start dating before getting engaged and getting married? Why do we seem to skip the steps of dating?”

Shi Qing grabbed Su Yan’s hand and kissed it gently. “Aren’t we dating now? We’re dating with marriage as the prerequisite.”

Su Yan smiled and planted a kiss on Shi Qing’s cheek. What did she do in her past life to bless the world? In this life, she was able to get a good person like Shi Qing who was devoted to her?

The two of them chatted for a while before the lights suddenly dimmed. All the spotlights were focused on the stage as a short and fat man walked up with a beer belly. The man’s hair was sparse, but he had a smile on his face. He looked like a kind person.

Shi Qing introduced him to Su Yan. “This is Lu Yi from the Lu family.” After some thought, he continued, “He is from a collateral branch of the Lu family, but Old Master Lu raised him since he was young. Some people gossiped that he was actually Old Master Lu’s illegitimate son, but there was no concrete evidence to prove this. After Old Master Lu passed away, the new head of the Lu family could no longer tolerate him.”

“So he chased him out of the Lu family?”

Shi Qing nodded. “More or less. The current head of the Lu family gave Lu Yi a company that had suffered a huge loss and let him manage it himself. It could be considered another form of exile. However, Lu Yi was indeed quite capable. In a short period of time, Lu Yi managed to transform the company from a loss to one of the best profit-making company. The employees in the company were also very convinced by Lu Yi. Later on, the Lu family sent someone else and wanted to sit back and reap the benefits. In the end, they were all squeezed away by the company’s employees.”

After hearing this story, Su Yan raised her head to look at Lu Yi who was on stage. She had other thoughts in her mind. This uncle was indeed amazing. She just didn’t know if she should judge a book by its cover. Looking at the kind smile on this uncle’s face, she felt somewhat awkward.

“You’re right. Lu Yi is indeed not a traditional good person.” When he met Su Yan’s puzzled gaze, Shi Qing shrugged his shoulders irresponsibly. It was as if he was the same.

Su Yan also knew that humans were complicated. There has never been an absolute good or bad person in this world. She nodded her head at Shi Qing’s evaluation as a sign of understanding.

Lu Yi, who was standing on the stage, smiled and gave a speech. After some pleasantries, he cut to the chase. “Since everyone is here to attend my banquet, I’m sure everyone knows what project I have.”

As expected, as soon as these words were spoken, the people below the stage started discussing in low voices. There were enough people, and the buzzing sound made the venue seem especially chaotic.

Lu Yi patiently waited for these people to finish their discussion. After the venue regained its silence, he smiled and said, “This project is not something that I can handle alone. If anyone here has such thoughts, you can look for me later. We can discuss and work together to maximize the benefits. What do you all think?”

This idea was naturally good, and everyone present was extremely satisfied as they echoed it one after another. Instantly, the atmosphere in the entire venue was pushed to the peak.

Su Yan felt that there was something wrong with these people.

They were all elites from various industries. Why did it seem like they were possessed? The atmosphere was high and their faces were flushed. Those who didn’t know better would think that they had entered the scene by mistake.
