Chapter 31 Chapter 31 A world where only Lu Yu is injured is achieved...
The whole world is asleep, and I am the only one awake. Cheng Yi couldn't sleep that night.
The more I couldn't sleep, the more random thoughts I had. All I could think about was Cheng Wu Ju's undercover plan 2.0 and how he was going to make Lu Yu cry.
I'm so tired. I finally calmed down my eldest brother's trouble, and now my second brother is starting over again.
Based on my understanding of Cheng Wu Ju over the past few days, this guy is extremely cruel and ruthless, even worse than Cheng Xiao Yong.
Cheng Yi turned over with resentment, but at a certain moment a thought flashed through his mind.
His second brother attacked Lu Yu just to vent his eldest brother's anger.
So if he could facilitate cooperation between his elder brother and Lu Yu, wouldn’t there be less trouble?
By the time his eldest brother's knot is untied and his second brother stops seeking revenge, he might be able to retire early and live a simple life.
Absolutely beautiful!
Cheng Yi spent the whole night envisioning this beautiful vision, and even drafted a "Draft of Strategic Cooperation between Chengsheng Group and Lutuo Times" overnight.
The next day, he came to the company early with dark circles under his eyes and took his cooperation draft to advise his boss.
"Mr. Lu, the virtual rehabilitation project will take a long time and cost a lot of money. I think you can separate part of the technical project and let Cheng Xiaoyong do it. They are not afraid of advance payment and have a good reputation."
Lu Yu glanced at him, took the draft he had written, and finished reading the two pages of A4 paper in just one minute.
"Why should I cooperate with him?" Lu Yu raised his eyelids, "Did Cheng Xiaoyong ask you to come?"
"No," Cheng Yi avoided his boss's gaze, "How is that possible?"
"You didn't say he was your ex-boyfriend?"
“…”
Cheng Yi's heart skipped a beat.
He almost forgot. Lu Yu actually helped him remember it.
That was a lie he made up to clear himself of suspicion.
Cheng Yi swore solemnly and insisted that she had nothing to do with her ex-boyfriend.
"I am considering the overall situation. Instead of fighting, it is better to cooperate for mutual benefit and win-win results, and be the best in the world!"
Lu Yu: “…”
What nonsense.
It sounds high-sounding, but in fact it is just to help the ex-boyfriend. Still want to hide it.
"I'm not interested in cooperation. Why should we win together when I can win alone?" He said firmly and returned the strategic draft written by Cheng Yi to him. His rejection was obvious.
Cheng Yi pursed his lips and wanted to fight for it again, but at this moment, the phone on Lu Yu's desk rang.
It was the HR manager who called. Report on the distribution of performance bonuses for this virtual rehabilitation system project.
"The bonus budget is 60 million, and it will be distributed to all members of the project team according to their contribution ratio. The gap between the senior management and the executive level will be controlled at 20%. Anyone who has any objections can communicate with me individually." Lu Yu explained concisely.
After hanging up the phone, he saw Cheng Yi still standing by the table.
"You have made a modest contribution to this project, so I will approve your early promotion to a regular employee and increase your salary by 20%."
"Ah, there are rewards for small contributions?" Cheng Yi was surprised and said, "Thank you, Mr. Lu. You are really my guide on the road to poverty alleviation."
With a monthly salary of 40,000 yuan, he finally doesn't have to pretend to be poor anymore. During this period, he carries a tattered plastic bag as a handbag every day, and several colleagues have called for donations for him.
Cheng Yi put the matter of strategic cooperation behind him and filled out the application form for regularization in his boss' office.
After filling out the form, Lu Yu signed his name in the lower right corner and handed the application form to Cheng Yi. Just as Cheng Yi was about to take it, he pulled the form back.
Cheng Yi: “?”
"Remember, people will let you down, but work won't," Lu Yu suddenly spoke in a fatherly tone, and said in a very subtle way, "If you want to get out of poverty, you have to keep looking forward. Forget about those who are not worth it. Only when you stand at the top can you take the most cruel revenge on them."
Cheng Yi: “…”
Cheng Yi: “?”
I didn’t expect this. I never expected this.
His "ex-boyfriend" actually left such a deep impression on Lu Yu. If you don’t know, you might think he is Lu Yu’s ex-boyfriend.
Never mind. His idea of strategic cooperation was totally unnecessary. Getting the powerful Mr. Lu to have a relationship with their Cheng family would probably be harder than making him bankrupt.
give up.
Back at his workstation, Cheng Yi treated his colleagues to milk tea in an unusually generous manner. Everyone congratulated him on his permanent job, except for one named Sun Hu who rolled his eyes.
"Hey, the person who works the least overtime actually got promoted early? I'm impressed."
The whole room fell silent instantly. Someone pulled Cheng Yi and whispered to him quietly, "Secretary Sun came to the company a month earlier than you. President Lu extended his probation period because of his low work efficiency."
Oh, I see. No wonder he suddenly fell ill.
Cheng Yi smiled: "Secretary Sun, your eyes are pH test paper, right? They turn red when they are sour."
Sun Hu: “…”
"What's wrong with not working overtime? Did it delay your illness?" Cheng Yi continued to fire, "Besides, that's not called overtime. It's more like adding drama. Your circle of friends is exquisite, but your performance is mediocre. How about we check the surveillance to see how many chickens you eat in a day?"
Sun Hu was so embarrassed that his face turned red and he couldn't say a word. The other colleagues tried hard to hold back their laughter and gave Cheng Yi a thumbs-up with their eyes.
"Xiaoyi, you won't be able to take the high-speed train or plane like this." A colleague joked.
Cheng Yi smiled knowingly: "I don't always use a controlled knife with my mouth. I will fight back when someone should be fought back, and I will kiss when someone should be kissed."
The colleagues dispersed with laughter, and Sun Hu returned to his workstation with a gloomy face, without making another sound.
Seeing that it was almost time for lunch break, Cheng Yi went to find Lu Yu with milk tea, and asked his boss if he needed help packing lunch.
Just as I reached the door of the board's office, I suddenly heard the miserable crying of Babao's father coming from inside.
"Boss Lu, I was deceived by Cheng Xiaoyong. I lost my mind and made a mistake. Can you forgive me this time because I didn't cause any loss to the company?"
"No." Lu Yu said, "According to my investigation, this is not the first time you have made a mistake. In the past month, you have provided internal data to competitor companies three times, violating company regulations. I am being merciful by not holding you accountable. Go away and don't let me see you again."
"No! I can't be fired, Mr. Lu," Babao's father cried, "No one will hire a cow or horse with a history of being fired, and I have eight children to support. If I lose this job, my whole family will not be able to survive. Please have mercy, Mr. Lu, just pity me and give me another chance, okay?"
There was no sound in the room. Cheng Yi guessed that Lu Yu must have softened his heart, or at least thought about it again.
As a result, within two minutes, Babao's father came out with his head hung, holding a "Contract Termination Statement" in his hand.
"Manager Tan..." Cheng Yi didn't know what to say, "Have a safe journey. Try to be a good person in the future."
“…”
He entered Lu Yu’s office and handed milk tea to his boss.
"I thought you would be soft-hearted and give him another chance," he said. "After all, he has eight children at home."
"Even if there are 800 of them, it's not a reason to make a mistake," Lu Yu said without even raising his eyelids. "I hate disloyal people the most. There is no reason to forgive being an undercover agent in my company."
"......!!" Cheng Yi's heart trembled violently.
Scared to death.
"Go undercover for me"...he said it as if he was pointing at him.
He was about to say something else when his cell phone rang.
The word "Second Brother" flashed prominently on the screen.
Cheng Yi's breathing tightened, and he saw Lu Yu's eyes also fell on his phone.
"...Oh, this is the man who carries manure at the east end of our village." He immediately hung up the phone.
"Your social circle is truly vast." Lu Yu retracted his gaze and made a sharp comment.
Cheng Yi didn't dare to stay any longer and found an excuse to run away. He didn't dare to call Cheng Wu Ju back until he ran into the elevator.
"What's up, Bro?"
"Ah? You scold yourself?"
"...Okay, get to the point." Cheng Yi was in no mood to joke with him. He lowered his voice even though there was no one else in the elevator. "In the future, make fewer phone calls during work hours. Lu Yu said he hates undercover agents the most. I must not let him get away with it."
"Okay," Cheng Wu Ju cut to the chase, "Lu Yu has a younger brother named Lu Lingyi. You know him, right? I plan to start with him and kill the bull from a distance."
Cheng Yi: “…”
Cheng Wu Ju only said the beginning of the call and then hung up, which left a big hook in Cheng Yi's heart.
He was distracted the whole afternoon because of this. Lu Yu asked him to go to a meeting with him. He only stood up slowly from his workstation after being called three times.
"Are you suffering from juvenile dementia?" Lu Yu frowned.
"..." Cheng Yi choked and was unable to continue the conversation.
Lu Yu made a gesture, indicating that the meeting time was about to end. Cheng Yi took his notebook and followed him obediently.
After walking a few steps, Lu Yu suddenly spoke up; "A colleague wrote me an anonymous email, saying that it was unfair for me to approve your early promotion."
"Who is this sourpuss... Oh, I get it, it must have been done by Sun Hu!" Cheng Yi secretly gritted his teeth, but pretended to be as innocent as a lotus. "So? You want to be close to villains and stay away from wise officials?"
Lu Yu didn't answer him.
The two walked a few more steps before Lu Yu spoke again slowly, "I hope I'm fair, so don't make it difficult for me, understand?"
*
Today Cheng Yi added a small class symbolically. I left the company at 8 o'clock and posted a message to my friends about working overtime.
As soon as he got home, he went straight to Cheng Wu Ju's bedroom. The latter was trying on several new custom-made shirts, all in bright pink.
"Second brother, you are so naive, are you sure you want to do something that will hurt innocent people?" Cheng Yi asked unhappily.
It would be fine to mess with Lu Yu, but what did Lu Lingyi do wrong? Thousands of years ago, Confucius taught the Chinese people that misfortune should not affect one's family members.
Cheng Wu Ju stood in front of the dressing mirror, looking at Cheng Yi in the mirror, his bright red lips slightly raised, with a hint of hidden cunning.
"It seems that my investigators have done a very thorough investigation. You are indeed close to Lu Lingyi, but who told you that I was going to hurt him? Brother, am I such a person who doesn't know how to be gentle with women?"
Cheng Yi dragged a chair over and sat down: "Then tell me in detail, what exactly is the method of shooting the bull from behind the mountain?"
Cheng Wu Ju grabbed the phone from the table, clicked on a photo, and put it in front of Cheng Yi.
A handsome stranger?
"Who is this?" Cheng Yi asked.
"Lu Lingyi's predecessor, Liang Yu."
From Cheng Wu Ju, Cheng Yi learned that Liang Yu met Lu Lingyi when they were abroad and they dated for two years. Later, Lu Yu was dissatisfied with his brother's relationship with a homosexual and forced them to break up.
A year ago, Lu Lingyi returned to China. Now, Liang Yu has also returned, vowing to get his former lover back. It was at this time that Cheng Wu Ju approached him and promised to provide all the guarantees and lend him a helping hand.
"My love is so pure, I want to reunite this ill-fated couple," Cheng Wu Ju spread his hands innocently, "How can this not be considered a good deed? How can it be said that it hurts innocent people?"
...Hiss, Cheng Yi seemed a little confused.
"Wait a minute, I'll straighten it out."
His second brother's goal was to take revenge on Lu Yu, and he planned to start with his younger brother Lu Lingyi and destroy the country indirectly.
But the ultimate move he made was to help him mend his relationship with his ex and rekindle their old relationship.
What kind of abstract strategy is this?
"You don't understand, do you?" Cheng Wuju read the clear stupidity in his eyes, "Just think about it, who gets hurt the most when a naughty child rebels?"
"……parents?"
"That's right. Put yourself in the shoes of the two brothers and see what happens."
After hearing this, Cheng Yi seemed to understand a little.
Lu Yu has a stable core and a strong mentality, so it is not easy to force him. But he is Lu Lingyi's patriarch. The more he forbids Lu Lingyi from associating with Liang Yu, the more Lu Lingyi will go against him. In this way, his mentality will inevitably collapse and his liver will be hurt.
In the end, the young couple returned home together, and the world was completed with only Lu Yu being hurt.
"Your tactics are quite unique." Cheng Yi told the truth.
"That's right, I'm still too comprehensive." Cheng Wu Ju was proud.
"The man surnamed Lu made Big Brother upset, so I have to make him upset too. Your undercover mission this time is relatively easy. Just push Lu Lingyi into love."
After the strategic exchange meeting, Cheng Yi returned to his room.
He carefully reviewed his second brother's method of hitting the bull from a distance and felt that it did not seem to be a random injury to innocent people.
He just took advantage of the young couple's reconciliation to hurt Lu Yu's heart.
In fact, think about it from another perspective, if Lu Yu broke up Lu Lingyi and his boyfriend because of "homosexuality", then that would be a small-minded move.
True love is hard to find, and a gentleman should help others to achieve their goals. Perhaps what he should do this time is to act as Lu Yu's spiritual counselor.
…
In the next room, Cheng Wu Ju was standing by the floor-to-ceiling window and talking on the phone with Liang Yu.
The sky was exceptionally dark tonight, with thick clouds covering half of the moon and only a few stars peeking out.
"Back then, I was only 19 years old. Lu Lingyi's brother sent me to that place despite my desperate pleas. I swear, I will come back for revenge."
"A man with ambition is a man," Cheng Wu Jue laughed softly and casually fiddled with the pink tassels of the curtains. The light cast a shadow in his dark eyes and the corners of his mouth curled up dangerously.
"Your revenge plan coincides with mine. I will help you, but don't tell anyone your true purpose. Remember, this is a little secret between us."
