Chapter 82 Liu Duanhe let him half-hold her, ...
Liu Duan let him half-carry him as they walked towards the office. Once they had passed the corridor and were about to reach the office area, he patted Feng Xingyun's arm and said, "Alright, someone's watching."
Although Feng Xingyun wanted to say that anyone who wanted to look could look, since their relationship had already been made public, Liu Duanhe was a person who cared about his reputation. Moreover, this was at work, and Liu Duanhe always kept his public and private matters very separate.
When the two arrived at the office, Liu Duanhe was already a little late because Chen Xingdong had blocked his way. Fortunately, the good news was that as the biggest boss of Tianhe, he didn't need to clock in or out.
When Secretary Wei saw Liu Duanhe approaching, he immediately stood up and picked up the documents he had prepared.
"Boss, Mr. Liu would like to have another talk with you."
After these days of running around, Liu Rumeng has calmed down. Now, all he and Wu Xiuying can do is stall for time as much as possible and get enough leverage to force Liu Duanhe to reconcile with him through both soft and hard tactics.
Although his feelings for Liu Duanhe were lukewarm, he had now seen through Liu Duanhe's character. As long as there was enough profit, Liu Duanhe might be willing to let them go.
Liu Duanhe narrowed his eyes, a strange light flashing across them. Many people had forgotten that Liu Rumeng not only had the real estate left to her by her grandfather Liu Yireng in his will, but also that her grandmother had given Liu Rumeng one percent of the shares under her name before she passed away.
In addition to the shares exchanged between the Liu and Wu families during their marriage alliance, Wu Xiuying still owns 0.5% of Tianhe Group's shares, while Liu Rumeng owns shares in Gangcheng Wu Family Daxing Group.
For Liu Rumeng to take the initiative to arrange the marriage, it's obvious that the Wu family couldn't be too weak. It's just that the two families haven't had much contact in recent years because the Wu family's third branch is now more powerful, not Wu Xiuying's first branch.
When Liu Rumeng tried to scheme against Wu Xiuying, she ended up running right into Wu Xiuying's trap. The two were evenly matched, and after they were engaged, Liu Rumeng discovered the weakness of the Wu family's eldest branch. But it was too late. After their marriage, Wu Xiuying also discovered Liu Rumeng's incompetence, and the two grew to loathe each other.
Don't underestimate this one percent, or 0.5 percent of the shares. In behemoths like Tianhe Group and Daxing Group, its value is immeasurable. The Liu family is at the height of its power. Although Liu Rumeng currently holds an absolute controlling stake of 51 percent, a situation rarely seen in listed companies, where the highest is usually around 30 percent, the Liu family mainly wants control of the group. They are also wealthy and have a deep foundation. They have only increased their shareholdings and have never reduced them. However, they don't seem to mind having too much money.
Even based solely on the most basic group's market value, it's worth at least tens of billions. His grandmother dotes on her child quite a bit.
Even Liu Yi, who was utterly disappointed in Liu Rumeng, remained silent about these shares, tacitly acknowledging that Liu Rumeng would continue to control them.
Liu Duanhe asked with interest, "Oh, did he give any hints about what he wanted to exchange with me?"
Secretary Wei sat up straight. "President Liu only said that we can discuss anything you want."
Liu Duanhe laughed heartily, feeling extremely pleased.
This was the first time Secretary Wei had seen him in such a good mood. After all, he had only been by Liu Duanhe's side for two years, so how could he possibly know about what happened to the Liu family a few years ago?
Liu Duanhe had recently used every means possible, including coercion and bribery, to deal with those old guys, but he still suffered a significant loss of cash flow. Now that a fat sheep has come knocking, he can recover his losses.
In this light, all the effort and huge risks he expended recently were worthwhile.
Liu Duanhe tapped the table with his fingertip, which gave him an idea. It wasn't just Liu Rumeng; his grandmother must have given him a lot of good things when she passed away. After all, his grandmother only had his father as a child, and his grandfather wouldn't have cared about the dowry. It was probably all in his father's hands.
His grandmother was a lady from a distinguished family, with a long tradition of poetry and literature. It is said that many great scholars came from her family. She owned countless antiques and paintings. The longevity lock that Liu Duanheji was born with, as well as some antique decorations in the room, were all given to him by his grandmother. Their value is immeasurable, but most of the rest are with Liu Rumeng.
Wu Xiuying still has the shares she received from the exchange years ago, and she will probably try to negotiate with him once she calms down.
Of course, even if he couldn't remember, Liu Duanhe would remind him.
He immediately told Secretary Wei, "Okay, tell him that of course we can talk, tomorrow, no, the day after tomorrow. We can't seem too eager."
Secretary Wei immediately understood that President Liu must have something good in his possession, otherwise the boss would not have been willing to give President Liu another chance to meet.
In other people's homes, it would be strange for a father to see his son and then check if he looks like a son. But in Liu Duan and his family, Secretary Wei has become desensitized after recent real-world experiences and online attacks, and no longer views Liu Rumeng with the same awe and respect he would have for his boss father.
He agreed and immediately contacted Liu Rumeng's lawyer. Because Liu Rumeng was an accomplice, she could be released on bail during the investigation stage, and he could still talk to Liu Duanhe.
He's like a cat on a hot tin roof now. The conditions he witnessed in the detention center during his detention have become unbearable. He's willing to accept any conditions, as long as there's leniency and a lighter sentence.
Even in his most destitute days, he never lived in a house smaller than 800 square meters. The room in the detention center was really smaller than the toilet in his cell.
Liu Duanhe understood their personalities; he was determined to have these things!
When Liu Duanhe was talking to Secretary Wei, he didn't avoid Feng Xingyun. On one hand, it was out of trust, and on the other hand, it was a test. Liu Duanhe couldn't pretend forever. He wanted Feng Xingyun to face his ruthlessness, his greed and coldness, and his suspicious and perceptive nature in a domineering way, without allowing him to hide in the slightest.
Outstanding personal abilities are not often reflected in handling emotional issues. A person's handling of emotional issues is more a matter of habit and imitation of the emotional lives of those around them from childhood. Most people's views on love are derived from the love between their parents and the affection between their parents.
Unfortunately, Liu Duanhe did not have such resources; he observed coldly that all he saw was hypocrisy.
Therefore, he viewed love as a game, but he genuinely loved Feng Xingyun, so he was determined to lay everything bare and expose it to Feng Xingyun.
Feng Xingyun heard their conversation clearly. When he saw Liu Duanhe looking over, he said, "It seems that Xiao He has made a fortune with this deal. We can also take this opportunity to gather and suppress those old guys who used to boss us around because of their age."
Feng Xingyun was lazy, but his indifference was not feigned. Although he had some kindness, it was all done on a whim without affecting himself. Most people in the world have their own stance, and their opinions are determined by their own position. Of course, he sat on Liu Duanhe's side.
He had no liking for those old fogies who relied on their seniority. He often came to Tianhe Group and had seen Liu Duanhe get headaches from these guys many times. Liu Duanhe's head injury hadn't healed yet, but he was already suffering from their temper. Sometimes he even had to clean up their messes and work overtime to deal with them, which made Feng Xingyun hate him to the core.
Seeing how rudely he was scolding him, Liu Duanhe smiled and said, "You can say that in the office, but you should be careful outside, so that no one can hear you."
Feng Xingyun didn't care about that. In the past, he was considered a spoiled brat in the eyes of these people. When Liu Duanhe publicly discussed his relationship with Feng Xingyun, many of them said some strange things, which Feng Xingyun knew very well.
He was never one to care about what others thought, otherwise he wouldn't have been so independent and almost never attended gatherings in those circles, making him practically an invisible outsider among them.
Liu Duanhe was in a good mood. After Secretary Wei left the office, Liu Duanhe got up and stood in front of the sofa where Feng Xingyun was sitting.
Feng Xingyun spoke casually, and after he finished speaking, he saw that Liu Duanhe was just smiling. After Secretary Wei left, he came over and couldn't help but raise an eyebrow and ask, "What's wrong?"
Liu Duanhe leaned against the back of the sofa next to him, unusually taking the initiative, "I'm satisfied with your answer, so of course I'll reward you."
Liu Duanhe has always been fair in rewarding and punishing, and has never been stingy in rewarding or punishing his subordinates or those who do his work. Now, he has simply changed the person to his lover and the reward to himself.
He pecked Feng Xingyun's cheek and gave him several loud kisses, which were quite loud in the office. He had also learned Feng Xingyun's way of kissing and was kissing everyone.
The only difference is that now it's purely affectionate, without a trace of desire.
Feng Xingyun was stunned by Liu Duanhe's initiative to kiss him, but when he came to his senses, he chuckled, stretched out his arms, and hugged Liu Duanhe tightly. He murmured uncontrollably, "Xiao He, how can you be so cute? It's irresistible. I want to bite you a few times and swallow you whole."
When people like something too much, they often have an impulse to possess or even destroy it, a contradictory psychology of wanting to own it all. The human heart is really too complicated. When positive emotions are oversaturated, mild negative expressions will emerge to suppress the emotional reaction.
Feng Xingyun was currently in a complex psychological state. He really wanted to bite Liu Duanhe a few times, but he couldn't bear to let go of him. So he took a deep breath of Liu Duanhe's scent to calm his overly agitated emotions.
Liu Duanhe leaned against him. He was a man who was about the same height as Feng Xingyun and had undergone long-term sports training. Even though his physical strength had declined a bit due to several months of busyness, he was still able to resist. He just didn't want to. Although Feng Xingyun's hug was already a little painful, the intense love in his murmured words made him unwilling to move and break the current atmosphere.
Some people like to destroy beautiful things, but Liu Duanhe is not like that. He cherishes and even treasures these beautiful feelings, which is one of the reasons why people keep confessing their love to him. As long as they are not too persistent, like Chen Xingdong, before he was with Feng Xingyun, Liu Duanhe always gently refused and even offered some words of comfort.
Feng Xingyun couldn't resist any longer. Liu Duanhe actually stayed obediently in his arms, letting him do whatever he wanted. He grabbed Liu Duanhe's hand, bit his slender finger, and left a tooth mark around the base of his finger, like a binding ring.
It is tender and affectionate, yet full of possessive desire.
Liu Duanhe winced in pain, feeling puzzled as to why Feng Xingyun always bit him for no apparent reason.
He sat on the other side of the sofa, letting his lover's possessiveness grow day by day, seemingly bringing about unknown consequences.
Liu Duanhe scrutinized him, while Feng Xingyun, with a slight smile in his handsome eyes, said regretfully, "Why did you suddenly sit down? If you sat on my lap, I could have been your human cushion."
Seeing that Feng Xingyun was still trying to take advantage of him, he said with disdain, "Then forget it. I could tolerate it if you didn't bring it up, but your muscles are so tense, it's killing me."
Feng Xingyun's eyes were deep and unfathomable as he said with a half-smile, "Oh? So hard?"
Liu Duanhe didn't react at first, but after a few seconds, he said in embarrassment and indignation, "Don't make dirty jokes with me."
