Chapter 10 So, Mr. Lu doesn't need love either?
Lu Jinyuan left earlier than Jiang Qingying. He was waiting in the parking lot early in the morning. When Qi Xin saw Jiang Qingying, he immediately went up to her.
"President Jiang, our General Manager Lu has something to discuss with you."
Jiang Qingying glanced over there and saw a Rolls-Royce Phantom with consecutive license plates. The windows were made of privacy glass, so she couldn't see anything. She was about to step over, but then she thought better of it and stayed where she was.
"Have your CEO, Mr. Lu, come over here."
Qi Xin paused for half a second, then nodded and said, "Okay." He then turned and went back to the car.
Soon, the rear door of the Rolls-Royce Phantom opened, and Lu Jinyuan calmly got out of the car. Jiang Qingying looked at him and saw that he had buttoned the middle button of his suit, looking aloof and noble. His steps were slow, and the dull sound of his leather shoes hitting the ground echoed, hitting Jiang Qingying's heart again and again.
It's true what they say: clothes make the man, and gold makes the Buddha. Even man-eating beasts become human when they put on clothes.
Jiang Qingying didn't give him any expression, but bent down and got into the car, with Lu Jinyuan following closely behind.
"Speak, what is it?" Jiang Qingying was working on her tablet and didn't even look up when she spoke to him.
Lu Jinyuan countered with, "Aren't you happy?"
Jiang Qingying's finger, which was swiping the screen, paused. She looked stunned for a moment, then turned to him and asked, "You mean what happened just now?"
Lu Jinyuan acquiesced.
"I just wanted to teach Chen Liqian a lesson, I didn't really intend to do anything to him. Based on the transaction price just now, the Chen family probably can't afford it later. Now look what's happened, I'm forced to collude with you."
Lu Jinyuan scoffed and tugged at the corner of his mouth, "I didn't expect President Jiang to be so soft-hearted."
Jiang Qingying glanced at him and said disdainfully, "I've always believed that violence is the best way to deal with evil. If anyone really offends me, I'll just take action. I'm quite good at that method."
Lu Jinyuan: "..."
Jiang Qingying was joking, but seeing Lu Jinyuan speechless and embarrassed for the first time, she suddenly found it quite amusing and entertaining.
A brief silence fell over the car. Jiang Qingying acted as if the person next to her didn't exist, busy with her own things and completely ignoring what Lu Jinyuan was thinking.
Lu Jinyuan had been observing her closely, and he could tell at a glance that she was leaving him hanging, but strangely, he found the subtle atmosphere quite interesting. "Have you read the contract?"
After waiting a while, I heard her say slowly, "The Ministry of Justice is still reviewing it."
"The Jiang Group's work efficiency is so low."
"This is a collaboration with President Lu, so it's better to be cautious."
The yin and yang are becoming quite obvious.
Lu Jinyuan wasn't annoyed; instead, a smile appeared on his lips. His aloof and sharp demeanor seemed to diminish somewhat in Jiang Qingying's presence.
"Where's President Lu?" Jiang Qingying turned her head, looking at him with a bright smile. "Where's your business plan?"
“Yes, let’s go to Jiang’s right now, and I’ll tell you about it myself, how about that?” Lu Jinyuan said this with a hint of mockery, as if his eyes were about to defile a beautiful object. However, his tone was cold despite his joking manner, and even the moist and fragrant air in the car became chilling.
But only Zhou Yu, who was sitting in the passenger seat, felt cold.
Jiang Qingying wasn't afraid of him at all, and raised a highly aggressive and intimidating smile: "Okay."
-
Half an hour later, Jiang Qingying appeared at the Jiang Group with Lu Jinyuan. Their high-profile appearance made it hard to look away. Jiang Qingying's ten-centimeter high heels made her walk with a swagger, while Lu Jinyuan, who was beside her, was calm and composed, with an arrogance in his eyes that disregarded everything around him.
Several employees in the group were stunned, especially the female employees who were infatuated with Lu Jinyuan. If they weren't afraid of being killed to silence them, they would definitely have taken out their phones and taken several pictures of this legendary scene.
Jiang Qingying led Lu Jinyuan to the president's office conference room, which was the largest conference room in Jiang's Group. It had an Italian minimalist style, with simple and elegant black and white furnishings. The walls separating the corridors were made of transparent glass, so all the employees in the president's office could clearly see what was happening inside, but no one dared to look. They were content to occasionally glance at it out of the corner of their eye.
The receptionist in President Zhou Yu's office said to his stunned second assistant, "Prepare two cups of coffee."
The second assistant snapped out of his daze and hurriedly ran to the tea room.
There were only four people in the conference room: Jiang Qingying, Lu Jinyuan, and their assistants.
Jiang Qingying sat in the main seat, elegantly crossing her legs, looking at Lu Jinyuan with a look of anticipation.
At this moment, Lu Jinyuan's expression was exceptionally gentle. He gestured to Qi Xin, who then installed the prepared USB drive on the projector and handed him the remote control.
Jiang Qingying was about to listen attentively when she subtly turned around and sat down in her chair. When she faced the big screen, her face froze, and she had a very ominous premonition.
Why!
The PPT template is pink! And has lace!
Why!
The title is—"Marriage Plan"
Marriage! Plans!
When did she ever give him that kind of hint? Besides, wouldn't it be more appropriate to change it to a business marriage plan?
Jiang Qingying was so angry she almost ground her teeth to powder. She glanced at Zhou Yu and Qi Xin, who were equally shocked. The two of them looked at her at the same time, then consciously zipped up their mouths and lowered their heads, not daring to look anywhere.
"President Jiang, I'll begin," Lu Jinyuan said with a smile.
Jiang Qingying found that smile irritating, so unrestrained. She suppressed her inner rage and asked, "Did you make this yourself?"
Lu Jinyuan replied, "Of course."
Jiang Qingying breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, it wasn't one of her subordinates who did it, otherwise she might never be able to hold her head high in the business world again.
But then I thought, only Lu Jinyuan could make something like this.
Horrible, the content that follows will only be more terrifying, and he himself is terrifying!
Lu Jinyuan calmly pressed the next page button, and a melodious bass voice came through, irresistible to all.
Only Jiang Qingying wanted to bang her head against the wall.
"First, we'll introduce the project, which can also be understood as why we're getting married."
“It’s a marriage alliance!” Jiang Qingying reminded him, indicating that there was a fundamental difference between the two terms, marriage and marriage alliance, between them.
Lu Jinyuan nodded gently and said, "Okay, it was my oversight."
Jiang Qingying placed her hand on her forehead, covering half of her face, which seemed to be on the verge of tears.
Ignoring her feedback, Lu Jinyuan continued earnestly, "To put it simply, based on the development of the Jiang and Lu families, a marriage alliance can enable both parties to achieve a win-win situation in business; secondly, considering the analysis of market competitiveness and personal circumstances, we both need a suitable marriage partner, and I personally meet your criteria for choosing a spouse, Mr. Jiang."
"Wait a minute," Jiang Qingying said, puzzled. "When did I tell you about my criteria for choosing a partner?"
"I overheard your mother mention that it could either bring you love or it could bring you benefits. As things stand, I can probably only offer the second option for now, but I think that should be enough."
Jiang Qingying remained silent, gazing quietly into his eyes, a sense of inexplicable annoyance lingering within her.
Lu Jinyuan's tone was extremely indifferent, like a gentle breath on a calm lake, the slight ripples of which were insignificant. "President Jiang, you should know very well that business marriages don't need love; profit is enough."
Jiang Qingying's eyes gradually darkened, and a muffled "hmm" escaped from deep within her chest. "So, President Lu doesn't need love either, is that right?"
Lu Jinyuan remained extremely calm, a beautiful smile curving his lips. "I believe he can be cultivated."
"Are you a robot? Can you execute commands just by inputting a program?" Jiang Qingying asked.
"Many things can be achieved through hard work and learning."
Jiang Qingying pondered, reflecting on his words. So... was he planning to learn how to love through learning? Or was it merely for the sake of managing their marriage?
After this brief conversation, Jiang Qingying temporarily suppressed the urge to kick him into the conference room.
Until later... when the topic turned to marriage patterns.
In a business plan, this roughly corresponds to the business model, commonly known as – how to do it?
Which one is doing it?
What does "do" mean?
Lu Jinyuan was there to flirt with people in a serious manner, so Jiang Qingying felt that he definitely wouldn't be holding back any nice words.
"Now let's talk about marriage patterns. I believe that we can treat each other with respect in life, and in our sex life, I respect your personal needs."
"Lu Jinyuan!" Jiang Qingying gritted her teeth until they hurt. How could he say such a thing with that cold and aloof face? "I don't want to hear it anymore."
Lu Jinyuan kindly reminded him, "There are still two points left to explain."
"Lu Jinyuan, are you out of your mind?! Who told you to make a marriage plan? Did I give you any hints like that?"
Lu Jinyuan seemed to be in a very good mood, showing no displeasure at being scolded, and offered a completely insincere apology: "I'm sorry, I misunderstood."
This sounds exactly like a husband's perfunctory apology after marriage.
Jiang Qingying immediately got up and tried to leave, but halfway there she realized something was wrong. This was her territory, why should she leave?
In the blink of an eye, her face, which had been flushed with anger, transformed into a businesslike expression. "That's fine. I'll give you feedback in three days."
The implication is that you can get lost.
