Chapter 82- I Have A Boyfriend

 

Upon hearing this, Qin Lu turned his head, but he was only facing the light. The light was very dim, and he couldn’t tell what expression he had.

 

Guo Qifan hadn’t noticed this atmosphere yet and tried to open his eyes wide to look at Jiang Liucheng’s phone screen.

 

Jiang Liucheng pushed his head away, “You stink of alcohol, don’t come near me. Your smell is all over my face.”

 

It’s okay if he didn’t say anything, but Guo Qifan was not happy when Jiang Liucheng told him that and rushed directly. He lets out a sigh to smell his breath. “No, no. It’s not like it’s that bad.”

 

Jiang Liucheng glanced at him sideways, “Do you want to crawl back by yourself?”

 

Guo Qifan was silent for two seconds before replying very softly: “I’m sorry.”

 

Pooh.

 

The temporary driver couldn’t hold back his laughter, and when he saw everyone looking over, he hurriedly said sorry. He really didn’t mean it; he just couldn’t help laughing.

 

Guo Qifan didn’t care and quickly asked: “So why exactly is Senior Fan Xuejie looking for you?”

 

Jiang Liucheng took another look at his phone, “She sent me a message saying that she is going back to China tomorrow and asked if it is convenient for us to pick her up.” 

 

Guo Qifan laid down before speaking, “Sister Fan Xuejie is so straightforward. It seems that she hasn’t given up yet.”

 

As soon as he finished speaking, Guo Qifan suddenly felt that something was wrong and quickly looked at Qin Lv, who was seated in front, to explain: “Brother Qin, don’t get me wrong. Liucheng doesn’t like her.”

 

Qin Lu looked at Jiang Liucheng and asked, “Have you chatted with her in the past two years?”

 

No matter how insensitive Jiang Liucheng is to feelings, he also realizes that Qin Lu might not be in a good mood at this time. “She often sends me messages at first, but I don’t reply much.  And then she starts to send messages every so long until she hasn’t sent much in the past six months. It’s not like I care.”

 

 Qin Lu asked: “Why? Didn’t she say that she could wait until you fall in love after graduation?”

 

Jiang Liucheng said: “She is a strong career-oriented woman; I don’t think we are suitable. Besides, I don’t like exotic relationships.”

 

Seeing that the situation seemed a bit misunderstood, Guo Qifan also explained: “Yes, yes, it is usually the people around who are making noise. In fact, before we graduated, Liucheng didn’t have much contact with her. The senior sister took the initiative to find an excuse to get close to her. Apart from being close to a few people in the dormitory, Liucheng usually doesn’t take the initiative to contact other girls.”

 

Jiang Liucheng couldn’t see Qin Lu’s expression very clearly, so he thought about it as he wanted to hand over his phone to him before saying, “Do you want to check the chat history?”

 

Qin Lu met his gaze, “Can I see it? Don’t you think I’m invading your privacy too much?”

 

Jiang Liucheng shook his head: “No, couples sometimes need reassurance and make sure they’re honest with each other.”

 

Qin Lu took his phone and pulled it up at will. The last message was a few months ago, but the other party did send a lot beforehand and often shared it with him. The trivial matters in life and work are exactly as he said this year. Sometimes he only replies with a sentence or two; sometimes, he doesn’t reply at all. And his tone is very polite, as if he is treating a friend he knows but is not very close to.

 

Qin Lu didn’t go any further. He returned the phone to Jiang Liucheng, “Are you going to pick her up tomorrow?”

 

“Why should I pick her up? I don’t know her very well either.” Jiang Liuchengsaid without any hesitation.

 

He clicked on the chat window for Xuejie to reply.

 

Jiang Liucheng: [Inconvenient.]

 

Almost the second after he sent it, Senior Fan Xuejie replied.

 

Senior Fan: [It’s okay if it’s inconvenient, but I haven’t seen you in two years. I just returned to China, so it’s okay to treat me to dinner, right?]

 

Jiang Liucheng: [No way, my partner will be angry.]

 

Senior Fan: [? ? ?]

 

Senior Fan:: Senior Sun told me that you are now a celebrity. I have read gossip about you. I heard that you have been on blind dates after graduation. You haven’t found the right one for you before, but suddenly you’ve found love now?]

 

Jiang Liucheng: [Mhmm.]

 

Senior Fan: [Junior, are you deliberately saying that you have a girlfriend just to reject me?]

 

Jiang Liucheng frowned slightly. Although the other party confessed her love to him in college and even said they could talk after graduation, he never imagined it to be like this.

 

Later, he heard from his roommate that she had gone abroad, so he didn’t even think about it.

 

Jiang Liucheng: [No. And it’s not a girlfriend. I have a boyfriend.]

 

Senior Fan: [If I remember correctly, it was revealed on the Internet a few months ago that you have been on blind dates. The blind dates are all women, right?]

 

Senior Fan:: [Is that why you don’t like me? In order to reject me, you even used this kind of excuse.]

 

Senior Fan: [Sad.jpg] 

 

Senior Fan: [Anyway, I have been your senior sister for three years, and I took good care of you when I was in college. We have a good relationship, and you don’t hate me.]

 

“What’s wrong?” Qin Lu noticed his expression and asked again.

 

Jiang Liucheng shook his head: “I told her that I had a date, and it was a man. But then she thought I was lying to her.”

 

Qin Lu suppressed the jealousy in his heart. “We are almost in the community. Let’s talk about it when we get back.”

 

“Okay .” 

 

The car drove to the parking lot of Siming Community, and Qin Lu settled the bill for the driver.

 

The temporary driver ate a few news of melons, and when he left, his expression was still a little dazed.

 

Qin Lu is not worried that he will tell other people what he heard tonight since no one will believe him anyway.

 

Guo Qifan was completely sober at this time, and he could walk by himself. But when Jiang Liucheng saw him staggering, he was afraid that Guo Qifan would fall, so he still grabbed his arm.

 

Qin Lu walked behind with his luggage.

 

Back at the rental house, Jiang Liucheng poured Guo Qifan a glass of boiled water.

 

By this time, his cell phone rang again.

 

Jiang Liucheng saw that it was from Senior Fan Xuejie again.

 

He played the voice call directly.

 

There seemed to be a bit of a surprise from the other line, and it took a few seconds for her to pick it up.

 

“Junior, why did you call me so suddenly?” Sister Fan’s voice boomed out immediately. It was different from the soft and cute girl. This is now with a trace of refresh and neatness. No one would imagine that she would become a capable woman.

 

Jiang Liucheng said, “Don’t you think I lied to you? I’ll let my boyfriend tell you now, then.”

 

He moved the phone in Qin Lu’s direction.

 

“Senior sister doesn’t believe that I have a boyfriend. Tell her a few words.”

 

Qin Lu chuckled, “What should I even tell her? Make her stop pestering my boyfriend?”

 

This voice matched no one she knew. She knew all friends around Jiang Liucheng and had dealings with them, but none of her impressions of such a nice voice matched her memory.

 

Zheng Kailin is also this type, his voice is low and deep, but it doesn’t have the magnetism and suppleness of this person’s voice. It is even a bit seductive.

 

“Ms. Xuejie, I am Liucheng’s boyfriend. He didn’t deliberately lie to you. I hope you don’t send my boyfriend any misleading words in the future. Is that okay?”

 

Senior Fan was a little stunned when she heard this. She studied abroad for two years, majoring in finance, and met many elites and rich people in the financial circle.

 

This person’s voice was a bit gentle on the surface, but he had the aura of a superior person, and there was a hint of warning hidden in his words. If she hadn’t been living abroad for two years, she might not be able to hear it.

 

Senior Sister Fan already believed that Jiang Liucheng did have a boyfriend. “Sorry, I thought Junior Jiang was joking with me before.”

 

“If there is nothing else you’d need, I’ll hang up.”

 

Qin Lu stretched out his finger and clicked directly on the red call button for a moment.

 

Jiang Liucheng said happily: “I knew it would be most useful to ask you to come forward.”

 

Qin Lu looked at him and nodded with a smile, “Then, if someone pesters you again, you can transfer them to me, and I will tell them off. “

 

Jiang Liucheng felt that this method was very excellent. “Then it’s settled.”

 

Guo Qifan, who was sitting on a chair to relieve the alcohol, heard the conversation between the two and couldn’t help but said: “Then what if someone is pestering Brother Qin? Would you want to transfer the person to Liucheng?”

 

Jiang Liucheng said: “Then let me settle it for you?”

 

Qin Lu smiled: “Okay, I’ll  transfer it to you.”

 

They thought it was just a small episode.

 

The next day, Qin Lu was having a meeting at the company because there was an important meeting this morning.

 

There was a project in charge of Qin Dong’s people last year, but it has not produced any benefits until this year, and even the bills on the books are unclear.

 

Qin Lu decided to settle the matter at today’s meeting. This was also the first time he had taken a stab at Mr. Qin’s people since he joined the company.

 

Many people realized that today’s meeting was unusual, and it might be the prelude to the official war between Qin Lu and Qin Dong.

 

The people who came to participate were divided into two factions: one was Qin Lu’s people, who all seemed to have relaxed expressions, and the second was Qin Dong’s people, who were all restless.

 

After the meeting started, Qin Dong, who was supposed to come, did not come. Only his illegitimate son Qin Hao came, and Qin Hao was not relaxed nor looking proud this time.

 

He knew before he came that today’s meeting would not do them any good.

 

On the surface, Qin Lu hadn’t had any conflicts with them in the past three months. Wherein in fact, he had been collecting most of the clues against them. Today can only be regarded as an appetizer, but that’s the reason why Qin Dong didn’t show up.

 

Since it was unavoidable, there was no need to come over and lose face. That’s why Qin Hao was asked to come forward instead, even if he didn’t want to.

 

Sure enough, not long after the meeting started, a senior executive began to talk about the problems of last year’s project under Qin Dong’s instruction.

 

The person in charge of the project relied on his relationship with Mr. Qin, and he didn’t even bother to find someone to do good bookkeeping. So once Qin Lu checked, he found out about cover-ups that the superiors and subordinates embezzled from the company’s funds.

 

In addition to this project, Qin Lu’s people also found out that some executives reimbursed their family expenses in not only the name of reimbursement for business trips but also many false and expensive reimbursement items.

 

Everything was listed one by one that it was estimated to go on for tens of millions and more.

 

“About this project, the fund embezzlements have been found out so far and those people who are involved.” The high-level executive put down the important report in his hand, “Boss Qin, since the amount of money involved by each person is not small, I suggest reporting the case directly.” Those who arrived were sweating profusely and could not even support their limp bodies on chairs, so they nearly knelt down in public.

 

How rampant were they when in greed, but look how scared they were now when they were all caught?

 

It would be fine if Director Qin Dong could protect them, but if he couldn’t, they would not only have to spit out the money they took from the company, but the company would sue them as well. Eventually, they will end up in jail as a result.

 

Many people turned to Qin Hao for help, and now only Qin Hao can help them.

 

Qin Hao pretended not to see it. If he had a way, he wouldn’t be here.

 

Seeing Qin Hao ignoring them, the senior executives felt a burst of despair. They knew that the old Chairman Qin did not leave shares to Director Qin Dong, and they would not bind themselves to Director Qin Dong’s thief ship.

 

By the time Qin Lu became the largest shareholder of the Qin Group, it was already too late for them to disembark.

 

They handed over the handle to Director Qin Dong with their own hands. Anyone who dared to betray Director Qin Dong would be resigned in minutes.

 

“Boss Qin!” A high-level executive who had been named plopped on the ground and begged, “I am willing to return all the money I have spent from the company in the past few years. Please don’t call the police. I have an old man and also my kids. My whole family still counts on me to raise them. If I go to jail, they won’t be able to survive.”

 

“Would you like to?” Qin Lu gently lifted his eyelids. His pupils reflected coldness alone, making his sharp and profound facial features became more rigid. His aura of superiority was released almost unreservedly, making the other party breathless. “You take the company’s money as f you’re swallowing it. Now tell me, is this act of robbery willing or unwilling on your part?”

 

The meeting room was extremely quiet as everyone watched. Looking at him, the man’s handsome face was incompatible with the people in the conference room.

 

When the well-known Qin Lu, actor in the entertainment industry, first came to Qin’s, many people didn’t like it. He could act well, but he might not be able to manage a company well. Let  alone a company as big as Qin’s Group.

 

Unexpectedly, the other party directly won several projects with unfavorable prospects as soon as he came. Qin Lu even fired a group of distant relatives who were dawdling in the company.

 

After a drastic rectification, because they were all related to old Chairman Qin, everyone thought it was the new official who took office, and Qin Lu just wanted to show off to old Chairman Qin’s people.

 

But after that, Qin Lu supported projects that old Chairman Qin and the others were not optimistic about. Because they were not optimistic about these projects’ success, they always received the least funds every quarter, and it was even more difficult to do well.

 

Some employees who had real materials but were squeezed into them were disheartened. They felt that if this continued, the Qin Group would end as soon as possible, and they even thought of resigning.

 

Just when they were about to resign, the major shareholder suddenly changed the tides of these said projects.

 

This is how their spring came.

 

Qin Lu ignored the person who fell to the ground. He looked at the time and saw that it was almost 1:00 in the afternoon, so he stood up and pulled down his clothes, “Leave the rest to the police.”

 

“Okay.” Ms. Long sent her assistant Lin to today’s meeting and responded. He then declared the meeting adjourned.

 

Qin Lu walked out of the meeting room, and as if on cue, his phone rang.

 

He saw that it was Jiang Liucheng calling.

 

Qin Lu immediately picked up “Why are you calling?”

 

Suddenly, upon hearing Mr. Qin’s gentle voice, Lin Tezhu almost thought that he was following the wrong person and looked up to confirm that it was really Mr. Qin. He was right, to his surprise.

 

“Did I interrupt your work?” Jiang Liucheng asked.

 

“No, don’t worry. You’ll never disturb me. As long as you want to find me, you can call me anytime.”

 

Qin Lu returned to his office and made a gesture with Assistant Lin. The latter understood and did not follow. He helped him go in before he closed the door.

 

Jiang Liucheng said: “Okay, there is one thing I think I need to tell you. I wanted to forward it to you, but the other party didn’t find me on WeChat. That is why I couldn’t forward him to you.”

 

Qin Lu paused a little when he sat down, “Someone else is looking for you?”

 

“Well, I went to the supermarket with Guo Qifan to buy things in the morning, and I happened to meet my former blind date partner and her mother. The other party said that he wanted to get back together with me. I was meaning to transfer him to you, but he wanted to come, and you were offline.”

 

“Get back together? You dated her before?” Qin Lu’s mood suddenly became an overbearing jealousy in just a snap.

 

Jiang Liucheng said: “No, we just chatted for a few days. The other party’s mother asked me to have a house and a car in Yunshi. I couldn’t afford the house at that time, so when I saw her parents objected, we stopped talking. The other party said that her parents don’t have objections to our relationship anymore, but I refused. I said that I have a partner already.”

 

“You have done a good job, and if you encounter the same situation in the future, you will only directly refuse.”

 

Qin Lu just followed his words. Young people don’t really want to meet their former blind date again. However, sometimes, the more they don’t want to, the easier it is for them to meet.

 

When he got off work, Qin Lu originally wanted to drive home, but he really missed Jiang Liucheng, so he changed his way to Siming Community. While waiting for the traffic lights on the road, he received a call from Zhou Beiwang.

 

“Busy man, are you off work? Would you like to come out for a glass of wine?”

 

“No, we’ll have a drink next time.”

 

“Busy about work?”

 

“Looking for my boyfriend.”

 

Zhou Beiwang cursed and hung up the phone.

 

Qin Lu put down his phone with a smile.

 

Just as his car was driving towards the gate of Siming Community, he saw a young man who seemed to be holding a garbage bag in his hand. But standing in front of him was a young woman who was dressed maturely and looked like an elite white-collar worker.

 

He subconsciously stepped on the brakes, and this scene did not last long as the woman followed the young man into the community.

 

Qin Lu stayed where he was for nearly a minute. He didn’t restart the car until a car honked its horn behind him. He sent a message to Zhou Beiwang, asking him which bar he was at.
