Chapter 25

Zhao Gang and Long Aotian looked at Lu Chengwen together.

Lu Chengwen hurriedly approached, and upon seeing Long Aotian's outfit, he mentally gave a thumbs up, marveling.

"Professional! Really damn professional!"

"Look at him, dressed in cheap market clothes, driving a broken tractor, and his shoes are even worn through at the toes. This is the state and demeanor of a true protagonist!"

"In the early stages, you have to be as inconspicuous as possible, so that all the snobs and ordinary people in society will look at you and pinch their noses, using all sorts of nasty words to provoke you!"

"Then, at the most critical moment, you show your skills, shock everyone, and leave behind a long, rambling, passionate, and tear-jerking speech."

"Then, the aristocratic families will look at you with new eyes, and beautiful women will secretly pledge their hearts to you."

"The world will start to revolve around you..."

"Sigh, I envy him."

"Comparing people can kill you."

"Look at myself, it's just unbearable."

Wearing an expensive suit tailored by a professional designer; handmade luxury shoes; a rare collector's edition watch worth over four million... dressed up to the nines, sitting in a business car worth over two million, with a loyal lackey and a sexy, alluring secretary by his side...

Compared to him, what am I?

Besides these things!

What else do I have?!

What! Am! I! Even!

Zhao Gang said, "Mr. Lu, rest assured, I'll take care of him..."

"Get lost!"

Lu Chengwen glared at him, "Apologize to Brother Aotian!"

"Ah? Mr. Lu, I... I still have to apologize to this dog..."

"Shut up!"

Lu Chengwen kicked him in the butt and pulled Zhao Gang, "Apologize!"

Zhao Gang, feeling wronged, said, "I'm sorry."

Lu Chengwen quickly smiled, "Brother Aotian, what a coincidence, we were wrong just now, please go ahead, please go ahead..."

As he spoke, he felt something was off.

He sniffed, and suddenly inhaled sharply... wow!

Lu Chengwen inhaled too hard, feeling a bit dizzy.

He staggered back a step, and Zhao Gang quickly supported him.

"Mr. Lu, are you okay? I suspected this guy fell into a cesspool..."

"Get lost! That's... perfume."

"Ah? Perfume... is it?"

Lu Chengwen regained some composure and looked at Long Aotian, "Brother Aotian, take a brother's advice, change your perfume brand, this scent is too strong."

Long Aotian thought to himself: I've been drenched in the rain for so long, and there's still a smell? Could it be that I've adapted to the smell and don't notice it? No, I can't face girls like this, I need to clean up.

It's all because of that heavy rain, making me look so disheveled!

By the way, why wasn't it raining in the city?

At that moment, Jiang Shihan accidentally touched the multimedia button in the car, and the radio broadcast started:

"Today, our city has witnessed a strange phenomenon. The entire city is clear and sunny, except for one cloud that has been pouring heavy rain. The trajectory of this cloud is also interesting, as it moved from the suburbs along the road to the city, at a speed similar to that of a tractor, pausing briefly near a septic tank... Many citizens have taken photos and videos to document this phenomenon..."

Everyone looked at Long Aotian.

Long Aotian's mouth moved, "It's really... interesting, ha ha, such a cloud, isn't it strange?"

Lu Chengwen, seeing him drenched, didn't dare to say anything, "Oh, strange... yes, there's no such cloud, how strange."

Jiang Shihan turned off the radio, got out of the car, and was surprised to see Long Aotian, "Brother Aotian?"

"Shihan." Long Aotian smiled when he saw Jiang Shihan.

So beautiful.

My Shihan is truly a beauty, and her demeanor is one in a million, making people want to... hehehe.

Long Aotian said, "I checked ancient texts yesterday... the day before, and I have some understanding of your mother's illness. I came today specifically to treat her."

Jiang Shihan felt a warm feeling in her heart.

A few days ago, to save time, she took the subway and encountered a pervert, but he came to her rescue.

He was the first man in the world to stand up for her.

Although he wasn't handsome and dressed simply.

But wasn't I also a small person? A minor character who followed Mr. Lu and relied on skirting the rules to earn a high salary to support my mother?

Brother Aotian is brave, smart, wise, decisive, and has great martial arts skills.

Being his friend has made me feel a long-lost warmth, the feeling of being cared for and protected, the happiness of having a brother to rely on.

Lu Chengwen observed.

"Great! This is fine! The plot is going well, no problem on my side!"

"Next, let Long Aotian take Jiang Shihan to treat her mother, and then she can follow him. I can then hand over my responsibilities."

"Phew! After three days, there's finally some progress. Don't rush, stay calm, control the pace, and make it natural for these two to become a pair."

Jiang Shihan was stunned.

What is Mr. Lu thinking?

Why does he always want Brother Aotian to treat my mother? Why does he know Brother Aotian has medical skills?

Why does he know so many things, things I don't even know?

No!

The first person to take care of me, the first person to protect me, the first person to care for me, is actually my boss, Mr. Lu!

He hired me despite my lack of a good degree.

He said he hired me because I was beautiful, sexy, and had long legs.

But now, thinking about it, does he lack beautiful, sexy, and long-legged girls? He was deliberately giving me a chance to earn a good salary to support my mother!

He required me to wear stockings and short skirts every day, saying it was for the eyes.

Now, thinking about it, he was secretly encouraging me! He knew I was insecure, so he wanted me to showcase my figure and charm, to believe in myself, appreciate myself, and develop my natural advantages!

He said I had a slave mentality, so he always bullied me.

Now, thinking about it, he was clearly training me, forging my resilience, strength, independence, and self-reliance! He wanted me to withstand workplace pressure and boss harassment, to live my life with confidence and freedom!

He knew from the beginning that I was enduring everything for my mother!

He didn't reveal it, didn't act like a superior and condescending person, but instead deliberately bullied and harassed me, almost making me break down.

He wanted me to feel that everything I got was through my own efforts, not his charity!

He wanted me to see him as a bad person, so that one day when I had other choices, I could leave him without guilt and pursue my future.

What a great personality, Mr. Lu!

What a noble soul, Mr. Lu!

What a man worthy of admiration, my Mr. Lu!

Lu Chengwen saw Jiang Shihan, who was both excited and moved, with tears welling up in her eyes, and nodded in satisfaction.

It's done, the timing is right.

Lu Chengwen said, "Since that's the case, Shihan, go with Brother Aotian. I wish your mother a speedy recovery. Oh, and I see Brother Aotian is a genius, destined to be a leader. You might as well quit your job and follow him. Once your mother is cured, your financial pressure will be much less. I'll have the finance department give you two years' salary, which should be enough."

Long Aotian scratched his head: Damn! Is this guy so easy to talk to?

I... I was holding back, ready to take action if he tried to mess with me, but he's being too... reasonable?

This is different from what I've heard!

Long Aotian smiled, "Mr. Lu, you're really understanding today."

"Of course, of course, I'm learning from Brother Long."

Long Aotian looked at Jiang Shihan, "Shihan, since that's the case, let's go back and treat your mother as soon as possible."

Jiang Shihan smiled, "Brother Aotian, thank you for your kindness, I appreciate it. My mother's illness, Mr. Xu has already agreed to treat, and the surgery is scheduled for next week. As for my job..."

Jiang Shihan looked at Lu Chengwen with gratitude, "I am deeply grateful to Mr. Lu, and I have no way to repay him. I will not leave Mr. Lu, and I will not leave Dashing Group. I will be loyal to Mr. Lu, ready to face any danger for him!"

Lu Chengwen felt... are you guys seriously ganging up on me?

Is there something wrong with this plot? Is there a problem?

You're supposed to follow the plot!

I humbled myself, risking being killed by him, to clarify my position to the protagonist, paving the way for your future sweet life. Why aren't you following the path I laid out?

Facing any danger? What the hell is that? Showing off?

Long Aotian was clearly also surprised.

"Shihan, do you not trust my medical skills? To be honest, in the entire Snow Country, no one can treat your mother's illness except me."

Jiang Shihan smiled and shook her head, "Mr. Xu is a medical expert, and his family has abundant medical resources. He has agreed to perform the surgery on my mother, so it should be fine. Thank you for your concern, Brother Aotian."

Lu Chengwen rubbed his temples in pain and said, "How about this, let's try it out. Go with Brother Aotian, and if he can cure your mother's illness in no time, we won't need Xu Xuejiao. Okay?"

"I'll wait until next week, I've already told my mother. If Mr. Xu can't do it, I'll bother Brother Aotian."

Lu Chengwen immediately flew into a rage, "Go when I tell you to! Why so many excuses! This is such a good opportunity. He's here, I've agreed, and I'll even give you money. He can definitely cure your mother's illness, and he will definitely be good to you in the future. You won't be low in his harem, what more do you want?!"

"Harem... harem?"

Lu Chengwen put his fist to his mouth.

He was excited.

He said something he shouldn't have.

Long Aotian said, "Mr. Lu, you can eat anything, but don't say anything random. Shihan and I are just friends, I only see her as my sister."

"I know, I know, I... I got excited, sorry."

Jiang Shihan is so stubborn!

Lu Chengwen gritted his teeth and steeled himself.

"Jiang Shihan, you're fired."

Jiang Shihan didn't expect this.

"Why?"

Lu Chengwen smiled, "No reason, just follow Brother Aotian."

Jiang Shihan grabbed Lu Chengwen's hand, "Mr. Lu, please, don't fire me. My mother's surgery needs money, her medicine needs money, I can't lose my job..."

"I'll pay for your mother's surgery and her medicine, as long as you quit."

At that moment, a voice said, "She doesn't need to quit."

Lu Chengwen turned around angrily, "Who's talking? Come out if you have the guts!"

But when he saw who it was, he immediately backed down.
