Lu Yu's fierce aura was released and retracted so quickly, but it managed to make Li Shengtao break out in a cold sweat, making his body feel even colder.
This... what's going on?
Why does the once hedonistic playboy from five years ago, who indulged in all sorts of vices, now carry such an aura? It's a bizarre feeling, Li Shengtao could hardly believe everything in front of him was real!
"Li Shengtao, let me tell you, letting you go today is because I'm in a good mood. If you keep pestering my wife, I won't mind taking some permanent measures!"
When Lu Yu said these words, his face was full of smiles, but his words were utterly cold!
What are permanent measures? After feeling the instant burst of killing intent from Lu Yu earlier, the answer was already emerging in Li Shengtao's mind.
After saying this, Lu Yu turned directly to face Leng Qingqiu, and said, "Honey, it's done. You can go back to work now in peace."
At that moment, Leng Qingqiu looked at Lu Yu in surprise. She had also sensed that sharp, cold aura from him earlier, but it came and went so quickly that she wondered if she'd imagined it.
And when she heard Lu Yu's words, she was momentarily stunned, but soon snapped back to reality. She saw Lu Yu smiling cheekily at her, completely contrasting with the cold and sharp aura from before.
"Young master, are you okay?" At this moment, the man who had been playing the violin hurriedly approached Li Shengtao, asking with a worried expression.
"Do I look like I'm okay?" Li Shengtao pointed to the reddish mark on his face and said, his words filled with anger. As he looked at Leng Qingqiu, he clenched his fist in his heart, coldly thinking, "Leng Qingqiu is mine, and Victory Group will belong to the Li Family, no one can take it away!"
With this thought, Li Shengtao returned to the car, took out his phone, dialed a number, and said, "Lu Yu is back alive."
...
After entering the Victory Group building, Leng Qingqiu glanced at Lu Yu from top to bottom and then spoke, "Why are you dressed like that for work? Didn't you listen to what I said yesterday?"
"Honey, do you know how hard it is to rent an apartment in Lin'an? I spent so much time yesterday finding a suitable place, how could I find time to tidy up?"
Looking at Leng Qingqiu in front of him, Lu Yu smiled and said. In fact, he wasn't lying. After dealing with Chen San's matters yesterday and completing the rental procedures, it was already very late, so he didn't have time to clean himself up.
Upon hearing Lu Yu's words, Leng Qingqiu took a deep breath. At this moment, she looked at Lu Yu and said, "Lu Yu, I thought staying on the island for five years would make you more stable, but I didn't expect you to still be so frivolous."
Hearing Leng Qingqiu's words, Lu Yu laughed. He had no intention of letting outsiders know his real purpose of returning, so the playboy image from five years ago was undoubtedly his best disguise!
"Honey, I call it optimism. I'm only twenty-five, barely surviving on a deserted island. Should I keep a long face every day just to satisfy you?" Lu Yu said to Leng Qingqiu, his words lighthearted.
Hearing Lu Yu's words, Leng Qingqiu seemed to see the Lu Yu from five years ago who clung to her, making her feel a surge of irritation. She looked at Lu Yu seriously and said, "First, don't call me 'honey' in the company. Second, go clean yourself up right now!"
"Good morning, President Leng!"
While Leng Qingqiu was scolding Lu Yu, a familiar voice came from beside her. Turning to look, it was actually Xia Bing, who greeted her.
At this moment, Xia Bing was still dressed in her clean and neat professional attire, looking very sophisticated and knowledgeable. It perfectly complemented her pretty face, making one's imagination run wild with just one glance.
Seeing Xia Bing, Leng Qingqiu's eyes brightened slightly before saying, "Xiaoxia, you're just in time. I'm giving you a day off, and you take him to get a haircut and buy a suit. His current appearance is really detrimental to the company's image."
Hearing Leng Qingqiu's words, Xia Bing's eyes shifted slightly. After looking at Lu Yu, a slight blush appeared on her pretty face. Ever since Lu Yu saved her on the subway yesterday and then met again at Ocean Group, a subtle feeling of anticipation inexplicably arose in her heart. Hearing Leng Qingqiu's task for her, she couldn't help feeling a little shy.
"Okay, President Leng," Xia Bing replied upon hearing Leng Qingqiu's words.
Watching Xia Bing, Lu Yu subtly smiled. In his view, Xia Bing was quite nice, with a good figure, a pretty face, and she blushed easily – definitely his type.
Hearing Xia Bing's words, Leng Qingqiu nodded and said, "You can go now. Use the company car."
After saying this, Leng Qingqiu turned around and walked towards the elevator.
"This woman, still so cold after five years. Geez, give her another five years and she'll turn into an ice block," Lu Yu said, looking at Leng Qingqiu's graceful figure, his words filled with helplessness.
Five years ago, Leng Qingqiu was already known as an ice queen. Lu Yu never expected that after five years, not only did she not change, but she became even colder, which left him feeling rather helpless.
Pfft!
Hearing Lu Yu's comments, Xia Bing couldn't help but laugh. Lu Yu's words were an apt description of Leng Qingqiu. She had been in the company for several years and had hardly ever seen Leng Qingqiu genuinely smile.
"I thought you were a very gloomy person, but you're quite humorous," Xia Bing said to Lu Yu, recalling the first impression she had when they were on the subway. With Lu Yu teasing Leng Qingqiu, she couldn't help but comment.
"I am very gloomy towards enemies, but to beautiful women, I am actually quite charming," Lu Yu said, slipping back into his carefree playboy demeanor from five years ago.
Saying this, Lu Yu gave Xia Bing a slight smile and said, "Let's go, show me around. I want to see how much LA City has changed."
Upon hearing Lu Yu's words, Xia Bing smiled slightly and nodded before slowly turning and heading towards the underground parking lot with Lu Yu.
