Chapter 121 Feeding My Wife
Upon seeing this, Shen Li's expression turned somewhat helpless.
The manager looked even more embarrassed and took his phone back.
"Thank you," Shen Li said. She finally understood why he hadn't refused when she asked to look at her phone.
Sure enough, President Lu wrote in the message, "Fulfill her request first."
"You're welcome."
Just then, with a ding, the elevator arrived at its floor.
"Madam, we've arrived." The manager gestured for them to enter.
Shen Li rarely visited Lu Yanchuan's company, and even fewer times came to his office.
So when I stepped out of the elevator, the scenery was somewhat unfamiliar, and I couldn't tell which way was which at all.
But she didn't need to figure out the direction; someone from the secretary's office was already waiting for her outside.
"Hello, madam. I'm from the secretary's office. You can call me Xiao Zhuang. The boss is in a short meeting right now. Let me take you to his office to wait."
A female secretary who looked to be in her thirties, with a very shrewd and capable appearance, came forward. She was already referring to herself as Xiao Zhuang.
Shen Li is younger than her, so of course she can't call her Xiao Zhuang.
She paused for a moment, then said, "Thank you for your help, Sister Zhuang."
Secretary Zhuang smiled and said, "This way, please."
When Shen Li arrived at Lu Yanchuan's office, she looked around and felt that Lu Yanchuan's office was a bit cold and deserted, without even a single green plant.
She was thinking to herself that she should bring some potted plants over next time.
Then his gaze fell on Lu Yanchuan's desk.
Lu Yanchuan's desk was the kind of unoriginal boss's desk, made of heavy, dark-colored solid wood with a wide and thick desktop.
There were many documents piled up, not messy, but the sheer number of them made it easy to see the amount of work involved.
But on this table, there is a small bottle, about the size of an egg, made of coarse pottery.
Shen Li was stunned after just one glance.
That was the first time she used the kiln that Lu Yanchuan had built for her in the elegant garden to fire a batch of kilns for the first time.
I casually made some small bottles and plates as test pieces to test the firing temperature at the kiln.
Because they were made on the spot and the heat control was not accurate enough, some of the test pieces cracked.
Some of them were fired, including this small ceramic bottle.
But because it wasn't important, she just casually piled it on the shelf in the studio without paying attention to where it went, never expecting that Lu Yanchuan would take it here.
Secretary Zhuang: "Madam, please wait a moment. The meeting will be over soon. I will go and prepare some tea and snacks for you."
"Thank you."
After Secretary Zhuang left, she didn't come back in for a while, no one knew if she was preparing some exquisite tea and snacks.
Shen Li stood up, walked behind the desk, and looked at the view overlooking the entire wall of floor-to-ceiling windows behind the desk.
Then he walked to the desk, reached out and picked up the small ceramic bottle. The quality was really rough; he might as well have thrown it away.
Just then, Lu Yanchuan's deep voice rang out from the doorway, "You can look all you want, but don't throw my bottles."
Shen Li turned her gaze to the doorway, where Lu Yanchuan stood, wearing a well-tailored bespoke suit and thin-soled Oxford shoes.
It accentuated his tall and slender figure and noble demeanor, making him look like the elite of the elite.
Those incredibly long legs are so stunning, anyone would want to take a second look.
So Shen Li couldn't help but glance at those legs a few more times, and didn't answer Lu Yanchuan's question for a moment.
The next second, Lu Yanchuan said, "See, see, I won't charge you, but you've been looking at my legs, so don't throw the bottle away."
Shen Li was amused by his words.
Lu Yanchuan was holding a tray with a small candle lit in a crystal base on it.
A glass teapot containing beautifully colored floral tea sits atop the base.
There was also a plate of wife cakes next to it.
"I saw Zhuang Yun was about to come in, so I brought it in as well."
Lu Yanchuan placed the tray on the desk in front of Shen Li.
Shen Li felt it might be inappropriate to sit in front of his desk, so she pointed to the sofa over there and asked, "Shall I sit over there?"
"It's alright." Lu Yanchuan pressed her down into the boss's chair. "Just sit here."
He pointed to the floor-to-ceiling windows behind him, "The view from here is beautiful."
After thinking about it, Shen Li did not refuse.
I glanced at the contents of the tray. "Wife cakes?"
Lu Yanchuan smiled and said, "Yes, it's for my wife."
He actually has very beautiful eyes, and his smile is even more charming and alluring.
However, he rarely smiled at Shen Li in the past.
At that moment, Shen Li looked into his eyes, and Lu Yanchuan was taken aback. "What's wrong?"
"It's alright." Shen Li lowered her eyes. "Perfect timing, I brought you some food too."
Shen Li took out a double-layered lunchbox from the bag. On top were two Swiss rolls and a few small cookies, and on the bottom was a bowl of mixed yogurt.
"You did this?" Lu Yanchuan's eyes lit up. There was only his boss's chair by the desk, so he had nowhere else to sit.
Not wanting to be too far from Shen Li, she carried a lunchbox, stood next to the heavy desk, and easily sat down on it.
Looking at him like this, Shen Li thought to himself that if his subordinates came in and saw him like this, the BOSS's dignity would be completely gone.
Lu Yanchuan didn't care and ate the yogurt from his bowl with a spoon in his mouth.
His eyes, however, were fixed on the other items in Shen Li's bag. "What are those?"
It looked like a gift, but it wasn't for him. Lu Yanchuan bit the tip of the spoon.
Shen Li then remembered that she had come here for a reason.
“Oh, right.” Shen Li looked at him, “I was planning to visit my master, but Zheng Lixuan called as soon as I stepped out the door.”
Hearing Shen Li's words, Lu Yanchuan stopped eating from his yogurt bowl and looked down at her. "What did she say?"
Shen Li roughly recounted Zheng Lixuan's points.
She looked up at him and asked, "Did you have someone do this?"
Lu Yanchuan narrowed his eyes slightly, leaned closer, and stared into Shen Li's eyes. "Would you believe me if I said it wasn't true?"
Shen Li remained silent. "Was she really scammed out of all her money?"
“Yes.” Lu Yanchuan nodded. “Her ill-gotten gains never belonged to her. It is precisely because they did not belong to her that she felt it was unsafe and insecure to keep them and wanted to find a place to put them.”
“Zhou Yan found some people who specialize in these kinds of schemes, and sure enough, they persuaded her with just a few words.” Lu Yanchuan took another bite of yogurt.
Then, she said slowly, "In order to avoid being traced by domestic laws to find out where her money went, and to avoid being involved in her marital relationship with Shen Wenzhong and having her assets divided, she was determined to transfer her assets abroad."
Lu Yanchuan chuckled lightly, his laughter sounding somewhat cold. "That's perfect, since domestic laws can't protect her now."
Those who commit many unrighteous acts will surely perish; they bring it upon themselves.
