Chapter 138 A Nest of Snakes and Rats
Today I went to a private cocktail party hosted by a business and financial exchange association.
The location is a private villa on a mountaintop.
Shen Yan and Gao Shan rode in another car, driven by Gao Shan's assistant; they had already set off.
Yu Zhan led Luo Shu out of the courtyard, leaving Yuan Xi and Yuan Nan speechless.
The two of them walking together are a perfect match.
Butler Li drove a stretched Lincoln today. This was the first time Luo Shu had ridden in this car. Usually, she just lay in the garage and hadn't seen him drive it many times.
Luo Shu got into the car.
The car had a set of genuine leather sofas, and opposite it were various kinds of foreign liquors, like a small living room.
"President Yu's life is truly extravagant." Luo Shu looked at the exquisite little living room and imagined him discussing business with other CEOs.
“If we have children in the future, this car won’t be enough.” He smiled, leaning back on the sofa, staring intently at the woman in front of him.
"Who's going to have your baby..." she murmured, though she was secretly delighted.
Yu Zhan reached out and pinched her hand, his fingertips rubbing against her palm, the burning heat igniting in his hand.
"If you don't have children with me, who will you have them with?" He moved closer to Luo Shu, placed her hand on his lap, and quietly asked, "Do you want to do this for a couple more years?"
This man has a sharp tongue.
Luo Shu's face slowly flushed, and she hurriedly pulled her hand back, but he wouldn't let go, holding on tightly.
Yu Zhan smiled, lifted her hand, and kissed the back of it.
“I don’t know if you want to or not, but I think it’s up to you whether you have a child or not. Anyway, you’re still young, you can have a child whenever you want,” he said.
"He's always being irresponsible."
Luo Shu curled her lips into a smile as she watched the neon lights flash past the window.
Yu Zhan looked at her tenderly. The bright streetlights shone through the car window, casting glimpses of her face. He held her hand tightly, his eyes filled with affection.
Luo Shu noticed his gaze and turned her eyes to meet his.
"If you weren't my husband, I could really sue you. You're so handsome, why are you out here ruining other people's lives?" She reached out and pinched Yu Zhan's cheek.
Yu Zhan felt this was very intimate, so he quietly gazed at her.
"Why aren't you saying anything? Why are you staring at me like that?" Luo Shu pinched his cheek again.
An unexpected kiss landed on the corner of her lips.
Luo Shu paused for a moment, as if the corner of her mouth had been touched by burning charcoal.
She quickly sat up straight, refusing to tease him.
"By the way, why didn't Mu Bu come this time?"
She noticed that Mu Bu didn't come; instead, another man came instead.
“I haven’t been back to headquarters much these past two years, and Mu Bu has planted quite a few of her people in the company. I only found out when I came back these past two months.” Yu Zhan said, looking at her intently.
I hadn't realized that Mu Bu's ambitions were growing, and I thought she was only interested in Yu Zhan. I never expected that she would also target the company.
During the time Yu Zhan was away, she was in complete control. Everyone assumed she was the wife of the Yu Cheng Group. She didn't respond, but naturally assumed the role and immediately accepted her identity as the group's wife.
For the past two years since Yu Zhan left the head office, he has been working at Yu Se Li, handling the head office's business mainly online or with Shen Yan taking over. He only goes back occasionally when he has free time.
She handled every task, big or small, perfectly, leaving no room for criticism.
Undeniably, her abilities are obvious.
Therefore, she became increasingly bold.
Although she has placed many of her people in the company, these people are not all useless; on the contrary, they are all rare talents.
That's why, since we couldn't give her a vacation last time, this time when Yu Zhan complained of foot pain, we forced her to take a vacation.
"I overheard you talking about the investment earlier. Was the sudden change also because of Mu Bu?"
“Well, I don’t really trust Mubula’s investment.” Yu Zhan continued, “We need to finalize the investment tonight, otherwise it will be troublesome when Mubula comes back to work.”
"Are you that afraid of her?" Luo Shu asked cautiously.
Yu Zhan carefully considered his answer: "She is a long-time employee of the company. She has participated in most of the projects and is quite capable. We need to find a better investment than her previous one to reject the original plan and cut off her connection with the project so that I can find an opportunity to lay her off."
"You want to fire her?" Luo Shu asked in surprise.
"My wife doesn't like it, so I have to be laid off."
"..."
"I don't care whether I make money or not. What's important is that my wife is happy. Of course, it would be best if I could make money and make my wife happy at the same time."
Luo Shu retorted to him, "You're so glib."
"You know whether I'm glib or not." He smiled smirked.
Luo Shu was too lazy to talk to him.
He seems to be getting more and more greasy.
The car was parked in front of the villa.
Yu Zhan got out of the car first, then reached his hand into the car. Luo Shu placed her hand in his palm and was slowly pulled down by him.
At that moment, she felt that Yu Zhan had an extraordinary and refined temperament.
A gentleman of noble character, refined and polished, is probably the best description of the man before us.
Even after getting out of the car, her gaze remained fixed on the man, as if she wanted to devour him completely; that damned possessiveness suddenly came out and took hold.
Her eyes were glued to him, unable to look away.
She felt that the man had bewitched her, and that she couldn't live without him.
As soon as I got off the bus, I ran into an old acquaintance.
Ye Fou and Professor Chen.
Ye Fou's gaze lingered on Luo Shu for two seconds before shifting to Yu Zhan.
Yu Zhan showed no expression; the two simply nodded to each other in greeting.
"Professor Chen." Yu Zhan.
“Teacher.” Luo Shu.
"Hmm." Professor Chen smiled.
Ye Fou smiled at her.
Luo Shu nodded and smiled.
Before she could look away, Yu Zhan grabbed her hand.
Luo Shu looked up at him; his face was expressionless, revealing neither joy nor anger.
Then, Ye Fou and Professor Chen entered the venue first.
Without delay, they handed over the invitation, signed the autograph board, and went inside.
Shen Yan saw them beforehand and walked towards them; the party had not yet started.
They stood on the third-floor corridor, watching people come and go on the second floor.
The restaurant on the second floor has two rows of tables, each over ten meters long, with fresh flowers in the center and exquisite plates and unique silver cutlery on the left and right sides.
The butler directed the maids to begin serving Western food, pouring red wine into stemmed glasses one by one after the wine had decanted.
The maids were well-trained and added a lot of glamour to the banquet, giving it a luxurious, high-society feel.
Shen Yan gestured for Yu Zhan to stand aside and talk. Luo Shu tactfully walked to the railing and looked down from the third floor to the banquet hall on the second floor.
She saw several familiar figures.
Mu Bu and Hu Weiwei.
Wasn't Mubu not invited?
Or did she come over as someone's dance partner?
Luo Shu glanced at her.
Mu Bu wasn't invited; without the title of Yucheng Group, she wasn't qualified to come in.
But she knew Yu Zhan would definitely come, and she wouldn't let this opportunity slip by. She begged many people, but no one dared to offend Yu Zhan.
If Yu Zhan finds out that his employee was brought in by someone else, wouldn't that be a disgrace to his company?
If Yu Zhan were to blame them, who would dare to take that risk?
She didn't know where she met Hu Weiwei, but Hu Weiwei was able to bring her in.
They really are a den of snakes and rats.
