By day they are business partners; by night they are a married couple sleeping in the same bed.
Lin Ye had gotten used to this way of getting along, and sometimes they would even discuss work issues in bed.
Today, Lu Wanqing was acting very strangely. First, she criticized the dishes he cooked, and then, seeing him studying reports in bed, she launched into a barrage of sarcastic remarks.
"Mr. Lin, can't your secretary do these tasks for you? Why are you taking them home?"
“Oh, Lisa doesn’t understand many things, so I’ll just do it myself.” He didn’t even look up, seemingly oblivious to her mood.
"Hmph~" She had no choice but to lie on the bed with her back to him.
Lin Ye's heart skipped a beat; he realized something was wrong.
She would never have hummed his tune before.
That hum is very meaningful!
He put down the report, turned off the bedside lamp, and quickly hugged her from behind.
"Honey, is something bothering you?" he asked softly.
Lu Wanqing would never admit that she was jealous, as that would be too embarrassing, so she just muttered under her breath.
"What? Explain yourself clearly." Lin Ye only heard her buzzing, and couldn't hear a single word she said.
Lu Wanqing turned over to face him and said, word by word:
"I said, Lisa's eyes were looking at you strangely, like she was flirting with you."
Lin Ye immediately laughed, "Oh, so that's what it is. I was wondering why you seemed a little off today. Turns out you were jealous."
“Who’s jealous? I’m just reminding you that you have a wife and children. Don’t give your secretary unrealistic fantasies,” Lu Wanqing said, poking his chest.
Lin Ye grabbed her hand and kissed it.
"I understand. It's because of their foreign culture that I wear a ring to work, just in case they have designs on it."
"You act like you're very popular." Lu Wanqing was satisfied with his actions, but she remained stubborn.
Lin Ye said proudly, "Of course, Uncle is very charming too, but I only love you."
"So cheesy!"
Lu Wanqing gave him a push, but her heart felt as sweet as if she had drunk honey.
The two tugged at each other for a few moments, and the atmosphere suddenly became ambiguous. Before they knew it, they were kissing.
She's stubborn, but isn't she sweet?
Afterwards, Lin Ye held the exhausted Lu Wanqing in his arms and shared another idea of his.
"After returning from the United States last time, I kept thinking that our country's infrastructure is too backward, and we must strive to catch up."
Lu Wanqing, still somewhat dazed, affirmed his idea and told him that the next few decades would be a period of rapid national development, where skyscrapers would no longer be a rarity, and high-speed rail would become the world's fastest...
Lin Ye listened to what she was saying, some of which he had never heard of before, and assumed she was talking in her sleep.
Lin Ye's idea was to establish a scholarship specifically to subsidize impoverished architecture students and provide job opportunities for exceptionally outstanding university graduates.
"Okay." Lu Wanqing didn't seem to hear her, but she agreed and fell into a deep sleep.
Lin Ye kissed her on the cheek and then fell asleep contentedly.
......
In the days that followed, Huo Xiao sent people to level the construction site, while Lin Ye began to lead his team in design work, and they each got busy.
For a project of this scale, it will take at least two months to produce a preliminary design draft.
Lu Wanqing wasn't in a hurry; she could let Luo Hao first assemble the engineering team.
Just when things were going well, the group was reported to higher authorities for allegedly colluding with the tax bureau to evade taxes.
This is a crucial period of economic transformation, and tax evasion is a serious crime.
Unexpectedly, the Wenwan Group, which has always paid taxes on time, became the defendant.
The whistleblower was Qi Wei.
"Damn it!" Huo Xiao exclaimed angrily, kicking a stool next to him.
Last time, Luo Hao and Lu Xiuwen ganged up on him and made him suffer a lot, causing him huge losses. I didn't expect them to retaliate like this.
This kind of thing isn't hard to prove as long as you compile all the payment receipts. The key point is that he also reported the tax bureau, and the disciplinary committee came forward to investigate, which makes things more complicated.
Immediately, all the staff in the group's factories and a wholesale market were pulled away to deal with this disciplinary inspection.
The original full-capacity production has already reached 30%, and to prevent any further safety accidents from occurring during this period, that would truly be adding insult to injury.
While things were tense on this side, Qi Wei was at home drinking and humming a song, feeling incredibly happy.
That old bastard Yu Pingwei dared to play tricks on him, so naturally he couldn't be taught a lesson.
Given his character, he must have accepted a lot of gifts from others. We can't investigate him; if we do, we'll find out immediately.
Why didn't anyone report him? Did he accept the gift?
That's because he knew that doing so would get him into trouble, so it was better to report anonymously.
Seeing how happy he was, Qi's mother assumed he had some good news and became happy as well, so she specially cooked some delicious dishes for him.
Just as the two were eating and drinking, Yu Lili walked in.
"Lili, you're here! I'm so happy today. Come sit down and have a bite to eat." Mother Qi had no idea that Yu Pingwei had been reported, and she even took her hand with a smile.
Qi Wei kept telling her that he would marry Yu Lili, but he hadn't had a chance to mention their falling out.
"Pah! Shameless! Doing such sneaky and despicable things, you still have the nerve to eat? I'll make you eat!"
As she spoke, she shook off Qi's mother's hand, grabbed the edge of the table, and forcefully overturned it.
Crash! The dishes on the table shattered all over the floor.
Qi's mother hurriedly shouted in alarm:
"What are you doing? This is a terrible thing!"
Qi Wei then grabbed Yu Lili's hair and shoved her aside, behaving with exceptional ruthlessness.
"So you know how to get angry now? When you drove yourself to such a dead end, didn't you think about this consequence?"
Seeing him make a move, Yu Lili became even angrier and slapped him across the face.
Qi Wei was not to be outdone and blocked her with his hand, and the two started fighting.
When Qi's mother saw the two people who were supposed to get married fighting like this, she was furious and didn't know whose side to take.
Finally, she sided with her son, grabbed a broom from the corner, and hit Yu Lili with it.
"Ah~" Yu Lili screamed.
Suddenly, a figure rushed in from outside and delivered a spinning kick to Qi Wei.
"I'll teach you to bully my wife!"
Lu Xiuwen had come looking for Yu Lili after seeing her note. Luckily, he arrived in time, otherwise his wife would have suffered a great loss.
With that kick, Qi Wei flew three meters away, crashed into the wall, and spat out blood.
When Qi's mother saw that her son was so badly injured, she was so frightened that she fainted.
Seeing that the two were either unconscious or injured, Lu Xiuwen helped Yu Lili leave the Qi family.
However, a few days later, a police car stopped in front of the Lu family's house. Several police officers got out of the car, went straight to Lu Xiuwen, handcuffed him, and arrested him for intentional homicide.
