"Come in!"
Jiang Manyue heard the knocking at the door and glanced at Lu Fan, who was sitting on the sofa playing on his phone and didn't seem to be planning to speak, so she spoke up herself.
"Brother, sister-in-law."
Lu Xi walked in with a smile and greeted Lu Fan and Jiang Manyue warmly.
"Don't smile like that, it gives me the creeps."
Seeing Lu Xi walk in, he smiled for a moment and then the smile disappeared. Then he said to Lu Xi with some disdain.
"Brother, no matter what, I'm still your sister. Why do you find my laughter annoying?"
Lu Xi saw her brother give her a look and understood that he just wanted to start immediately. She then angrily said to Lu Fan.
Jiang Manyue, who was working, looked up at Lu Fan and Lu Xi, wondering what had happened and why they had suddenly started arguing.
"Let me tell you, even if your sister-in-law is here, you won't get a single penny!"
Jiang Manyue remained silent, just sitting there watching. Lu Xi and Lu Fan were at a loss for what to do. According to the plan, their sister-in-law should come out and scold Lu Fan. Lu Fan reacted quickly, then looked at Jiang Manyue and said to Lu Xi.
"Sister-in-law, look at my brother. I only spent some money, it's not like I squandered it. Wasn't I just trying to earn more money?"
Lu Xi also looked in Jiang Manyue's direction and understood what her brother meant. She then quickly walked up to her sister-in-law, took Jiang Manyue's hand, and cried out.
Seeing Lu Xi's tearful face, Jiang Manyue frowned slightly, then looked at Lu Fan.
“Honey, we can’t let her squander this time. We’ve invested so much money and haven’t gotten any return. Even if our company has a lot of cash on hand right now, it’s not a big deal to take some out, but we just can’t give it to her.”
Lu Fan spoke to Jiang Manyue with a very firm attitude, also pointing out that the company was not short of money.
"Xixi, how much money does your company need?"
Jiang Manyue looked at Lu Fan and sneered, then held Lu Xi's hand and asked...
"Secretary, bring me my folder."
When Jiang Manyue asked him how much money he was short, he assumed his sister-in-law was going to give him money, and all the unhappiness on his face disappeared. He happily said to the secretary.
Seeing Lu Xi's smile, Lu Fan knew he was doomed and slumped onto the sofa.
"Boss, that."
When the secretary handed the folder to Lu Xi, she spoke to Lu Xi.
"Huh? Have you forgotten what I told you?"
Before the secretary could speak, Lu Xi gave her a look that made the secretary step aside.
"Sister-in-law, this is our company's plan, and it clearly states how much funding is needed."
Lu Xi turned her head, opened the folder, and said to Jiang Manyue.
"Okay, you can go back first. I'll have someone take a look at this. Don't worry about the funds, I'll have Secretary Ge transfer them to you."
Jiang Manyue closed the folder and then smiled at Lu Xi.
"Chairman, Mr. Jiang, this is our company's financial statement."
Since the office door was not closed, Secretary Ge knocked and came in, placing the report on the table in front of Jiang Manyue and saying...
"Okay, you can go now!"
Jiang Manyue glanced in Lu Fan's direction and saw that Lu Fan was still playing on his phone. Then she took a deep breath and said to Secretary Ge.
Secretary Ge hadn't yet said what Lu Xi had instructed, but she heard Jiang Manyue tell her to leave. Then she looked at Lu Xi, who quickly gave Secretary Ge a look that said she could leave.
Secretary Ge looked bewildered, said something to the group, and left the office. She glanced back at the chairman's office, wondering if he had invited her over for a stroll. But she didn't dwell on it anymore; the promised funding had already been secured.
"Sister-in-law, I'm leaving now."
"Everything has been taken care of," Lu Xi said to Jiang Manyue with a bright smile.
"Yes, if you encounter any difficulties when you go back, just come and find your sister-in-law."
Jiang Manyue also got up and saw Lu Xi to the door, smiling as she spoke to Lu Xi.
Lu Xi nodded and entered the elevator with her secretary.
"Phew, what were you trying to say to me in the office just now?"
After the elevator doors closed, Lu Xi remembered that her secretary had something to say to her, so she looked at her secretary and asked.
"Chairman, you just made a mistake."
The secretary, who had been holding back, finally spoke to Lu Xi when she heard that she could finally speak.
"Error? What error?"
Lu Xi felt that everything had gone smoothly just now, and she didn't understand what her secretary meant. Lu Xi also had a lot of say in her secretary and liked to listen to her opinions.
"Actually, your sister-in-law already noticed the exchange between you and President Lu, otherwise she wouldn't have agreed to give the money without even looking at him."
The secretary told Lu Xi what she had seen.
"I hope my brother can get out of danger."
After his secretary said that, he realized he had been too happy too soon, and he began to worry about Lu Fan.
Jiang Manyue, standing at the office door, watched the elevator doors close.
Turning around, she looked at Lu Fan sitting on the sofa. Lu Fan knew he had been discovered, so he kept his head down, looking at his phone, and didn't dare to look Jiang Manyue in the eye.
Bang!
Jiang Manyue slammed the office door shut. Fortunately, the door had a cushioning effect, otherwise the sound would have been heard throughout the entire floor.
"Don't you have anything to tell me?"
Jiang Manyue returned to her office chair, and after waiting for two minutes without speaking to Lu Fan, she asked him a question while he was on the sofa.
"Haven't you all figured it out? I have nothing more to say."
Lu Fan lowered his head and said to Jiang Manyue shyly.
“You don’t have to do that in the future. It’s the same when you make decisions; you don’t have to get my approval. I slammed the door just now because I was angry at you for doing that.”
Jiang Manyue didn't actually blame Lu Fan and Lu Xi for tricking her.
"That's good, that's good."
Lu Fan wiped the sweat from his cheeks. Hearing that Jiang Manyue didn't seem to care, he chuckled and walked behind her, helping her loosen her shoulders as he spoke.
"Go and take care of this matter. Also, check on Xixi's company. See if they need anything else. As her older brother, you need to pay attention. She doesn't tell me when something's wrong."
Seeing that Lu Fan was behaving quite well, and knowing that he had a lot on his plate lately, Jiang Manyue handed him the folder that Lu Xi had brought.
“That company is run by Nangong Qi and my sister. I went there today, and the management is absolutely a mess. I just told Lu Xi to handle it herself. If I went there directly, wouldn't it seem like I, as the older brother, am not delegating enough?”
Lu Fan had considered what Jiang Manyue said, but in the end he didn't do it. He didn't expect his wife to want so much from him, so he told her about his worries.
