Chapter 81

Leng Tianhao said, "This time you won, and won beautifully. I see that in the future, not only the Leng family, but the Chen and Xu families will also be meat in your mouth. Our Leng family is in a difficult situation now, but the Leng family still has value. If you help us once, from now on, the Leng family will follow the Lu family's lead!"

Lu Chengwen was at a loss, saying, "Uncle Leng, what are you talking about? I don't understand."

Leng Tianhao said, "Chengwen, we are both sensible people. There's no need to beat around the bush. Besides, everyone in this room is yours. I really need your help."

Lu Chengwen was so frustrated that he laughed, and said to Jiang Shihan, "Those two old guys didn't like me and scolded me as soon as I entered. But this one is different; his attitude is so good it makes me uneasy."

"Chengwen, I admit defeat. Do you want me to kneel before you? I can do it!"

Leng Tianhao was about to kneel.

Lu Chengwen was stunned and quickly stopped him.

This was not unusual. Many great figures had started by enduring beatings and kneeling. For true great figures, they could endure humiliation.

Kneeling once to Lu Chengwen could mean being a grandmaster in the world. They could do it.

Lu Chengwen couldn't stop him, and Leng Tianhao had already knelt, pleading.

"Chengwen! Give the Leng family a chance to live!"

Lu Chengwen had no choice but to kneel as well, facing him: "Uncle Leng, give me a chance to live!"

Leng Tianhao bowed his head: "I'm bowing to you!"

Lu Chengwen also bowed: "I've returned it, no more nonsense!"

Leng Tianhao bowed again: "Are you still unwilling to let us go?"

Lu Chengwen, crying, bowed: "Just kill me!"

Leng Tianhao bowed again: "Can't we negotiate?"

Lu Chengwen roared: "You've had enough!"

"Good guy, those two old guys at least used physical attacks, but you're using magic attacks? What's wrong with you?"

Leng Tianhao looked at Lu Chengwen, not pretending.

"Our Qianfeng Group... is finished."

"How is it finished?"

"Our last investment fund was invested in the slum project by Qingqiu. Although you have guaranteed it now, we won't have any returns in the short term. And Qianfeng Group's funds have been cut off for a long time. Now, we can't even pay the salaries of the group's employees... If this continues for a month, morale will be lost; in two months, the senior management will leave to find new jobs; in less than three months, we will become a hollow shell, and all business will come to a complete halt. The compensation alone would probably not be enough even if we sold all our assets."

"So serious!" Lu Chengwen rubbed his chin: "I didn't expect that."

Jiang Shihan, embarrassed, said: "You two, why don't you... stand up and talk?"

Lu Chengwen then realized that both of them were kneeling on the ground, facing each other, which looked quite ridiculous.

"Oh, let's stand up and talk."

Seeing Lu Chengwen deep in thought, Leng Tianhao saw hope: "Chengwen, don't you like Qingqiu? This time, Uncle won't stop you! Of course, if you don't trust me, you can take her home tonight and let her live with you. How about that? Once the rice is cooked, I can't go back on it, right?"

Lu Chengwen looked at Leng Tianhao: "Are you speaking human language?"

At this moment, Leng Qingqiu had already pushed open the door and heard their conversation through the screen.

Lu Chengwen said unhappily: "Don't think of using your daughter to make money when you're in trouble, and then try to push her away when you're not. You're afraid someone will take your assets. Leng Qingqiu is a person, she is your daughter. Treat her better, will you? With a father like you, she really has bad luck."

"Oh, following you is great! Really! You are young and capable, and your strategy this time is masterful. We all misjudged you before, and those two old guys will admire you when they realize it! I'm reassured that Qingqiu will be with you."

Lu Chengwen looked at him: "If Leng Qingqiu follows me, and then you push her away, and become the supreme ruler, making Long Aotian manage Qianfeng for you. This way, your assets won't be taken by me, and you can use your daughter's relationship with me to get resources to help Qianfeng recover. Is that it?"

"Oh, you see, saying it like that is too distant! This is a win-win situation for both of us! I can give you some shares of Qianfeng, and you can get dividends every year..."

Lu Chengwen sighed: "Uncle Leng, times have changed."

"Is that so?"

Lu Chengwen said: "If Xu Zhiyun or Chen Qingbin said this to me, I would definitely spit in their faces and curse them."

"Then... you don't curse me because we have a good relationship?"

"It's because I'm tired."

Lu Chengwen said: "I don't understand. Your daughter is talented and can make Qianfeng bigger and stronger. If it weren't for her, Qianfeng Group would have collapsed years ago. Why do you trust outsiders and not your own daughter?"

"She has a hundred billion in funds, enough for Qianfeng Group to turn around. As long as you ensure her leadership for the next few years, she has money and ability. No one can take down Qianfeng Group! Isn't that good?"

"You have a goddess-level daughter, but you come to me, an outsider! If I were ruthless, I would take everything from you and leave no bones. Then I would make your daughter massage my back every day!"

"Money can't be taken to the grave. You have only one daughter. If you don't treat her well and always treat her like a thief, what's the point?"

Lu Chengwen finished speaking, and Leng Tianhao's face turned green and white, speechless.

Leng Qingqiu smiled with relief.

Lu Chengwen was right about one thing. Leng Tianhao had revealed the true state of the family, and if Lu Chengwen wanted to take advantage of the situation, it would be the best opportunity.

But he didn't.

Leng Qingqiu thought: He still likes me and speaks up for me.

Leng Qingqiu had given up hope on her father.

At this moment, she walked out and said calmly: "There's no need to worry about the funds. I know you borrowed twenty billion with high interest, and I have paid it off. I have also transferred fifty billion from my personal account to Qianfeng's finance. This should be enough for the turnover. The outstanding payments have been collected. Qianfeng is fine."

Leng Tianhao hadn't seen his daughter for several days and stood up: "Really?"

Leng Qingqiu was already dead inside.

What he cared about most was Qianfeng Group. He didn't even say thank you or ask what she had been doing these days.

Lu Chengwen saw Leng Qingqiu's expression and felt a pang of pain in his heart.

[The strongest warrior, but without equipment, logistics, or support. She has to face the world alone.]

[She's lost weight. She must have been very worried these days. Oh, no matter how tired, you have to eat well. It's so heartbreaking to see her like this.]

Leng Qingqiu looked at Lu Chengwen, her eyes filled with gratitude, and her eyes moistened.

Lu Chengwen was probably the only person in the world who cared only about her happiness and not about her wealth.

Lu Chengwen was a bit uncomfortable under Leng Qingqiu's gaze: "Ah, I'm fine... that... the bottom-line contract you refused to sign, I signed with our old man. All three families have signed. Don't worry, you won't lose money."

Leng Qingqiu nodded and said calmly: "Thank you."

"You're welcome."

Leng Qingqiu said to Leng Tianhao: "Now Qianfeng Group's financial account has fifty billion. I have also paid off the twenty billion bank loan, plus the twenty billion you have, you now have seventy billion to use. From now on, Qianfeng Group is yours. I resign."

Leng Tianhao was surprised: "You... what?"

"Isn't this what you wanted?" Leng Qingqiu smiled bitterly: "I don't want to fight anymore. If you decide to replace the president, go ahead. I'm out."

Leng Qingqiu turned to face Lu Chengwen: "I'm not in a good mood. Can you walk with me?"

"Ah? Uh..." Lu Chengwen said: "I, I have something to do. I have to... you know..."

But seeing the sadness in Leng Qingqiu's eyes, Lu Chengwen's heart ached.

That look was a plea.

The stronger a woman is, the more heartbreaking it is when she is helpless, desperate, and seeking care.

[Damn, I can't stand this look from a woman!]

[Why does it hurt so much to see her sad? Leng Tianhao is a big idiot. If I had such a capable daughter, I would be smiling in my dreams, and I would give her my life!]

Lu Chengwen nodded: "Let's go for a walk."

The car drove to a park.

Leng Qingqiu sat on a bench, smelling the fragrance of flowers and grass, and watching children playing in the distance, finally showing a smile.

Jiang Shihan bought drinks and handed them to the two, then walked away to meet Zhao Gang.

"Why do you always care about me? I'm not nice to you at all."

Leng Qingqiu suddenly asked.

"There's no such thing." Lu Chengwen pretended to brush leaves off his pants: "I'm a cold-hearted person, I can cheat, make money, seduce women, gamble, dance, and race cars... but I don't care about people."

"Is that so?"

"Of course."

"Then why are you willing to help me?"

"Hehe, because I'm lustful, I want to take advantage of you. Women are most vulnerable when they are helpless, sick, or heartbroken, and that's when men can take advantage."

"You know a lot."

"Just a little."

"Now that you've told me, aren't you afraid I'll be angry?"

"I'm not afraid." Lu Chengwen said: "You can give up Qianfeng, which you've worked hard for years, and I can give you up too."

Leng Qingqiu nodded: "Why don't you hire me? I'll work for you at Dashing Group."

Lu Chengwen looked at her and laughed: "You're pulling my leg. You have funds and can start your own business. I can't afford you."

"I don't want money, I just want to work for you."

"Ah? I... I have a capable vice president now..."

"I won't take her job. I can be your secretary or assistant."

Lu Chengwen laughed: "You're pulling my leg. I've never heard of Sun Wukong hiring Guanyin as his secretary."

"Your secretary likes you."

"Which one? Shihan? No way."

Lu Chengwen said: "She's staying with me to work because her mother is seriously ill and needs a lot of money. She's actually very annoyed with me."

Leng Qingqiu said: "You, on the surface, are very smart, but in reality, you're very stupid. She likes you a lot, I can tell."

Lu Chengwen laughed.

[Would I not know if she likes me? I know everyone's background.]

"Fine! She likes me, I'll get her one day. I'm the president of a trillion-dollar group, and no one will say anything if I play with a sexy secretary."

Leng Qingqiu said: "I'll be your secretary, and you can play with me."

Lu Chengwen got so excited that he squeezed the drink out.

He quickly sat up straight and looked at Leng Qingqiu: "Don't... don't joke like that, it's scary."

"If you had a daughter like me, would you treat me especially well?"

"Definitely better than your father." Lu Chengwen blurted out, then felt it was inappropriate and said apologetically: "Sorry, I was just talking nonsense."

Leng Qingqiu moved closer to Lu Chengwen, making him very nervous, his heart racing.

"What... what are you doing?"

"Dad."

Lu Chengwen's scalp tingled.
