Chapter 74 Chapter 74 My wife is pregnant with my child...
The living room fell into silence, and the air seemed to solidify into glue.
At this moment, everyone in the room had their mouths shaped like Os.
This also includes Cheng Yi.
One billion! The number kept ringing in his mind.
Awesome! Lu Yu was probably not the money printing machine.
"Lu Baba," he subconsciously tugged at Lu Yu's sleeve, his voice almost inaudible, "How come you are so powerful?"
Lu Yu's eyebrows twitched slightly. He was very pleased with the title of "Ba Ba". He grabbed the young man's wrist with his backhand and curled his lips slightly: "Not bad."
Cheng Yi: “(*￣︶￣)”
Cheng Shouye stopped talking.
He had been very tough just now, but now he turned around silently. The cigarette flickered between his fingertips. The hazy white smoke blurred his outline, and the look in his eyes could not be seen clearly.
Cheng Xiaoyong, who was standing by, recovered from the shock of the 1 billion yuan and quickly walked to Lu Yu, his voice slightly hoarse due to excitement: "Can you take Mr. Lu's words seriously? This 1 billion yuan is not a small amount of money."
"Of course," Lu Yu said calmly, "I won't take this matter lightly. Money in an account is dead. It can only create value when it is flowing. One billion is not a big problem for me. I hope I can help you and put Xiaoyi at ease."
Cheng Xiaoyong's eyes were filled with tears. What a domineering lift.
Not only did it bring in a large amount of cash flow, saving their family from dire straits, but it also brought touching sincerity. He gives full marks for this wave!
If it weren't for the occasion and Cheng Yi, he would have stepped forward and hugged this future "sister-in-law" tightly.
"Dad, Mom," Cheng Xiaoyong couldn't help but get excited, "Lu Yu's feelings for Xiao Yi are evident to all. He's so sincere, what else are you worried about?"
Cheng Shouye turned around slowly, still silent. Yun Wan pulled him anxiously and urged him in a low voice: "Say something."
Cheng Shouye waved his hand: "I have nothing more to say."
Cheng Yi looked at them and guessed that the balance in his parents' hearts must be swaying.
Lu Yu also realized it. The black pupils behind the lenses were as deep as the sea, carrying a vortex of accumulated power, calmly and powerfully striking people's hearts once again.
"In addition to the 1 billion yuan in funds, I think I can do more for Chengsheng Company."
"In recent years, Chengsheng's technology iteration has lagged behind, its independent innovation capability is lacking, and its high-end talent density is also insufficient. I can delegate my technical team to assist with these issues. We can also carry out strategic cooperation. I also need another company of equal strength to complete the UJFNS50 virtual city project that will be launched next year."
Cheng Shouye's pupils shrank slightly. The company lacked core competitiveness, which was the problem that had troubled him for many years.
"Are you really willing to help Chengsheng Company out of this predicament?" He asked in a tense voice, "You know, business competition is a life-and-death struggle."
"Yes." Lu Yu said, "Since I have promised, I am willing to do it. Because of Xiaoyi, I will turn the competition into a strong alliance. If not, it may be a more brutal battle."
He emphasized the word "tragic" and said nothing else. He just looked at Cheng Shouye with an extremely firm gaze.
The two of them just stared at each other quietly for a long time, and Cheng Shouye suddenly smiled. That smile was like he had unloaded a huge burden, and his brows relaxed.
"I understand, Mr. Lu." He patted Lu Yu's shoulder heavily.
"If Mr. Lu can really help Chengsheng Company to make a comeback, I will be very grateful. My wish has always been to make Chengsheng a century-old enterprise. I also know the problems Chengsheng is facing now, and we really need a leading company to pull us out of the predicament."
"Don't worry," Lu Yu nodded, "I can help Lu Tuo Times rise, and I can also help Cheng Sheng. We will cooperate strategically on the project. Privately," he turned to Cheng Yi and took his hand, "privately, I also hope that you can help us be together."
Cheng Shouye looked at the two people in front of him, then turned to Yun Wan: "Xiao Yi is old enough and has his own ideas. It's not convenient for us to interfere too much."
"But……"
"Don't say buts," Cheng Shouye pulled his wife's hand, "Times have changed, and young people's ideas have also changed. We should respect their blessings and let them be."
At noon, Lu Yu had lunch at Cheng Yi's house. After dinner, he had to go back to the company in the afternoon.
Cheng Yi went out and sent her boyfriend to the car.
"I won't work overtime with you today," he kissed Lu Yu's cheek, "I feel my mother is still a little depressed, I will go back and try to persuade her, you wait for my good news."
"Okay." Lu Yu's eyes softened. "See you tomorrow. I'll wait for your good news."
When he opened the door, Cheng Yi saw Cheng Ranxing just coming out of her mother's room. He immediately stepped forward and stopped his third sister in the stairwell.
"What's wrong, Mom? Is she still unhappy?" he asked, his eyes unconsciously glancing upstairs.
Cheng Ranxing tilted his head. "I can't say I'm unhappy, but... well, there must be some knot in my heart. If it were me, and one day my son suddenly told me that he was gay and had a spark with a man, I would probably..."
"Hey, didn't you say you like gay sex?" Cheng Yi interrupted her.
"If you love to take drugs, you love to take drugs, but if it really happens, it's another matter," said Cheng Ranxing.
Cheng Yi pursed his lips and suddenly changed the subject: "Sister, the task of continuing the Cheng family's lineage will fall on you from now on."
"Don't drag me into this," Cheng Ranxing refused. "Let my elder and second brothers shoulder this heavy burden. I have to focus on my career and not let down the connections that Lu Yu has brought me."
"The queen of the film is set," Cheng Yi smiled and patted her, "Keep it up."
"Of course. I'll thank you and your husband when the time comes. I'll give you a big villa when you get married."
Cheng Yi took out his memo and wrote down the big villa.
After writing it down, he raised his head, glanced toward his mother's room, and walked up the stairs.
"Mom, I asked my aunt to make you a bowl of glutinous rice balls. I'll bring it over when it's ready in a while," he said, knocking gently on the door.
Yun Wan was staring at the sunset outside the window in a daze. When she saw him come in, she patted the sofa beside her and asked him to sit over.
"I know what you're worried about." Cheng Yi held his mother's slightly cold hand. "The homosexual community is indeed a minority. The outside world's eyes, the secular prejudice, and even the so-called regret of blood inheritance... But those are nothing to me. I am becoming more and more responsible. I am no longer the useless little guy. I will work hard to make myself and Lu Yu happy, and make my family happy. Other than that, I won't think about anything else."
"I'm not worried about that," Yun Wan tightened her fingers, "Lu Yu is a good person, and your mother can see that he cares about you, but I'm just afraid..." As she spoke, her eyes turned red and the last word of her voice ended in a sob.
"What are you afraid of?" Cheng Yi asked.
Yun Wan sighed: "Our company is facing the biggest crisis in history this time. Mom is worried about you. Did you choose Lu Yu to save our company? Mom never knew you liked men before."
"Mom, why do you think like that?" Cheng Yi smiled, his eyes curved into crescent shapes.
He understood. His mother chose Lu Yu because she was afraid that he would do so in order to save the family company.
After all, Lu Yu is the only person who can save their company now. She was afraid that she would have to compromise because of family matters and sacrifice her own happiness.
"I have never forced myself. I really like Lu Yu, not because he is powerful, nor because he can help our family." Cheng Yi said, fluttering his eyelashes. The sunlight outside the window brushed across the ends of his hair, gilding his long eyelashes, making them sparkle.
"I didn't know what it felt like to like someone before. After being with him, I was very happy every time we had dinner together, took a walk together, and even worked overtime together. I looked forward to every morning when I saw him, and I was reluctant to say goodbye to him every night. When he was around, I would feel at ease. When he was not around, I would miss him very much. People come to this world to experience. There is no choice that is completely without regrets, but if I can't be with him, I will feel that it is the biggest regret in my life. If I can't be with him, I probably won't choose anyone else."
Yun Wan stared at her son's shining eyes for a long time, and finally a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
The sun is setting.
The afterglow of the setting sun was like a cluster of golden gauze, pouring into the house through the floor-to-ceiling windows. Cheng Yi quietly closed the door and walked out of his mother's room. The spiral staircase under his feet flowed like a river of light, and it also seemed to flow out a sweetness that slowly flowed into his heart.
*
The next day, Monday, at the regular meeting, Lu Yu and other senior executives announced their strategic cooperation with Chengsheng Group.
Everyone was a little surprised and didn't understand why they should cooperate with a company that has been on the decline in recent years.
"I have done some research," Lu Yu said. "Chengsheng has a foundation of more than 20 years of development and has undergone two transformations. The industry it is currently in is in an upward period. The most important thing is that its founding team has better genes and execution capabilities than ordinary medium and large companies. It's just that in recent years, it has lagged behind due to problems such as technology iteration and talent density, which has led to a lag in development. As long as Chengsheng regains its momentum and reconstructs its strategic focus, it will not be a problem to make efforts in the global market in the future..."
It was already noon when the meeting ended. Lu Yu spent a full three hours convincing the board of directors.
Cheng Yi saw the whole scene and felt a warm feeling in his heart.
After the meeting, they returned to Lu Yu's office together.
Cheng Yi brewed some honeysuckle tea and handed it to him: "Moisten your throat. Your lips are a little dry after talking all morning."
Lu Yu looked at him but didn't take the cup of tea. He curled his lips slightly and took him into his arms: "How about you help me moisten it first?"
Cheng Yi blushed, looked back at the door, and put down the cup after making sure it was locked. He slowly walked up to Lu Yu and stood on tiptoe.
The hot and humid breath approached, and a soft touch came on the lips, like a feather gently brushing across the lips and hooking the tip of the tongue.
There were people running outside the corridor, the sound of high heels tapping, some were discussing which milk tea to order, and some were complaining about having to work overtime again in the evening...
Cheng Yi heard it, but it seemed that he didn't hear it so clearly. His body and brain felt light and fluttery, blocking out the noise and bustle outside.
Immersed in a passionate emotion, he deepened the kiss and poured all his feelings for Lu Yu into it.
After they parted lips in a kiss, his breathing was still disordered.
"The effect is good." Lu Yu said in a hoarse voice, resting his forehead against his.
Cheng Yi's thoughts were still wandering: "What worked well?"
"Lip balm."
"."
At noon, the two of them had lunch in the room.
After dinner, while Cheng Yi was making a cup of coffee, Lu Yu had already drafted the strategic cooperation document, typing out every word by hand and reviewing it personally before sending it to the legal department.
Cheng Yi looked at him from the side, his chin resting lightly on his shoulder: "Will it be difficult for you to help our company like this? The board of directors seems to think that strategic cooperation is unnecessary."
"That's their idea," Lu Yu rubbed his hair and smiled, "In fact, Chengsheng Company is not bad. A strong alliance and a win-win situation are just around the corner."
Cheng Yi's heart blossomed after hearing this: "You are so strong!" He praised sincerely, "Is there anything you need me to do?"
"Not yet," Lu Yu said, "If you want to learn about company operations management after the cooperation, I can teach you. Cheng Xiaoyong will need a capable and reliable helper in the later stage, and your second brother will definitely not be able to help."
Cheng Yi said "Oh" and lowered his head. He had no intention of going back to his family's company to help out yet.
"Let's talk about it later. I haven't done enough as an assistant yet." He buried his head in Lu Yu's arms and rubbed it. "Besides, who will take care of you if I leave?"
Lu Yu lowered his head and kissed the top of his head: "It's all right, you decide."
"Oh, by the way, I forgot to tell you a good news." Cheng Yi suddenly thought of something and got up from Lu Yu. "I have successfully convinced my mother. She said that she will bless us!"
"Really?" Lu Yu's eyes softened. "How did you convince her?"
"I said..." Cheng Yi rolled his eyes, hooked his arm around Lu Yu's neck, and put his head close to his ear. "I said your daughter-in-law is pregnant with my child. I must take responsibility. I am determined to marry this daughter-in-law, and no one can stop me."
As he spoke, the naughty little hands rustled into Lu Yu's clothes and gently poked his hard abdominal muscles.
Lu Yu felt hot in the heart and his whole body was hot.
"Wife," Cheng Yi whispered to him jokingly, "Later, my mother specifically told me that men should be good to their wives. The better you are to your wives, the greater the blessings you will receive. So in the future, I will definitely treat you well and love you well. I will never bully you and make sure you are happy every moment."
There was a fire hidden in Lu Yu's eyes, and the heat was gradually growing. He grabbed Cheng Yi's wrist and removed it from his abdomen.
"Truth." He nodded and held the person to sit on his lap.
"Yeah." Cheng Yi smiled, "I think so too."
"Practice is the only criterion for testing truth. So when will we practice?" Lu Yu asked.
Cheng Yi was stunned, his reflexes still not coming back: "What are you practicing?"
"Let you be happy every moment." Lu Yu said.
The low, magnetic voice was bewitching and stirred Cheng Yi's heart. His eyelashes trembled slightly and his eyes swept across Lu Yu's private lounge.
It was a very private space inside, he vaguely remembered.
"How about we practice it briefly during lunch break?" Cheng Yi suggested seriously.
