Depend on.
Chen Lu cursed inwardly.
So you're trying to squeeze every last penny out of me? You really think I'm an easy target?
Although he never causes trouble, he always retaliates decisively when someone provokes him. Anyway, Tencent happens to be interested in investing or collaborating; as long as he gets the deal done in Shenzhen, there will be plenty of other options later.
But why make this choice?
He paused for a moment, turning his head to look at the back of the sleeping girl beside him, his feelings a mix of emotions. He suddenly felt like he was being caught in a series of misfortunes.
She'll be very sad if I can't come back for her birthday...
But some things can't be delayed.
Although the company is growing rapidly, its current size and situation don't allow it to act arrogantly towards such a large company. As the saying goes, it's important to know your own limitations. The other party wants to cooperate simply to find a risk-free, low-investment, high-return approach. It doesn't mean they can't do without you; if they get fed up, they might just decide to do it themselves.
Chen Lu took Liang Zhirou's hand and gently squeezed it twice. He was relieved to see that the girl was still fast asleep and had not been woken up.
He didn't know when he developed this habit, but now when he's under a lot of pressure, he likes to squeeze Liang Zhi's soft hands, like a stress reliever, and it works really well.
"Daily maintenance is effective; the calluses are getting better."
He muttered to himself, suddenly making up his mind.
Chen Lu: I need to go to Shenchuan by the day after tomorrow at the latest.
Jiang Chao: You're not celebrating your girlfriend's birthday?
Chen Lu: I'll try my best to get back...
He could only say he had tried his best. It was such a big deal, and he didn't know if the other party would make unreasonable demands. It was unrealistic to think he could settle the matter in a few days.
Jiang Chao: I've been thinking about this for the past few days, and I think we can adjust our bottom line a bit. Since we both own shares, it's not impossible for us to share some. Here's my opinion; see if it's acceptable.
Chen Lu frowned as Jiang Chao bombarded him with a series of voice messages, and quickly replied to him.
Chen Lu: Don't send voice messages.
Jiang Chao: Why?
Chen Lu: My girlfriend is asleep.
Jiang Chao: ? ? Why the hell did I ask you that? I'm such a jerk!
After a few minutes of silence, Jiang Chao sent his last message.
"Let's talk about it when we meet later."
Chen Lu put his phone aside, closed his eyes, and continued to think about these troubling matters.
The afternoon sun streamed into the room through the curtains; it wasn't particularly strong, but rather warm and pleasant on my face. I could faintly hear the girl's even breathing beside me, creating a slightly tipsy and comfortable feeling.
Perhaps truly immersed in this sense of peace, Chen Lu unknowingly fell asleep.
......
About twenty minutes later, the girl next to Chen Lu slowly sat up, yawning and stretching. The hem of her top was also pulled up by her movement, revealing her slender and eye-catching waist.
Unfortunately, it still looks rather silly.
Liang Zhirou has an unwavering biological clock; she can wake up on time without an alarm clock, whether it's in the morning or at noon.
This is a skill she developed from a young age.
She was about to rub her eyes when she realized that Chen Lu was holding her right hand tightly. Chen Lu was clearly fast asleep; at that moment, he was like a child, clinging to his favorite thing.
Liang Zhirou was unable to pull her right hand back just now.
The girl then realized that she had indeed taken a nap with Chen Lu... and they were sleeping in the same bed.
She was clearly very nervous at first, even considering whether to pretend to be asleep to set a trap and see if this lecherous man would do something heinous. And then... and then she inexplicably fell asleep.
Even though Chen Lu was already asleep, she still nervously and quickly tidied up her clothes.
Her heart was pounding so hard that she only just realized that Chen Lu had taken another victory for her.
Liang Zhirou, you've become so depraved! How can you be so careless!
The girl mentally berated herself, warning herself not to make the same mistake again, otherwise it would only be a matter of time before Chen Lu took advantage of her...
After calming down a bit, Liang Zhirou mustered her courage and, with the curiosity of exploring a new continent, moved closer to Chen Lu.
Chen Lu has a really good sleeping posture, just like his style of doing things, quiet and gentle. He just lies there quietly without snoring.
"Did you have a nightmare? Why are you frowning when you're asleep?"
The girl muttered a questioning sound under her breath, gently smoothing Chen Lu's furrowed brows with her hand. Looking at her boyfriend's handsome face, she smiled contentedly.
"Hmph, luckily I'm smarter and more careful than you, otherwise you'd be waiting to get wrinkles! What a foolish Chen Lu." Liang Zhirou gently stroked Chen Lu's hair, stuck out her tongue, and said softly.
Although she was very reluctant to admit it, she only dared to say it when Chen Lu was asleep.
Liang Zhirou was just about to cover Chen Lu with a blanket and get up to boil some water when she suddenly noticed part of Chen Lu's abdominal muscles protruding from his waist.
She wasn't actually that interested in abs, but seeing them on her boyfriend suddenly made them attractive.
She only craves her boyfriend's.
I really want to touch it...
This thought, like a candy dangling from her lips, constantly tempted her.
This guy is such a scoundrel every day, so it's understandable that she could retaliate.
Yes, this is revenge.
