Chapter 427 How Did a Third Wheel Come In?



On the other side, Yu Chunlan, accompanied by Shen Zizhen, slowly walked out of the gate of the North Star.

"Actually, I'm actually hoping that Polaris will run into trouble."

Yu Chunlan looked at the ground gradually getting wet from the rain, raised the corners of her mouth, and suddenly said.

"Then all 40 million you invested went down the drain, right?" Shen Zizhen was a little confused and stepped forward to open the car door for Yu Chunlan in advance. "Back then, we even kicked out a shareholder because of this."

He knew very well that although his boss was wealthy, he was definitely not so generous as to not care about 40 million.

Moreover, more important than the 40 million is Yu Chunlan's almost invincible reputation accumulated over the years.

At this point, reputation has become more important than money.

That's why Mr. Li mocked her like that.

Yu Chunlan got into the car, smiled and shook her head, and said softly:

"Only if Polaris goes bankrupt will I have the possibility of bringing him to my company."

"If I bring this guy under my wing, he can help me earn countless 40 million."

After saying that, she turned back and held up four fingers to Shen Zizhen.

He is only twenty-four years old this year.

"Not only did he build Polaris step by step, but he also managed to win over a backer of Professor Yin's caliber without any prior connection to him."

“Even for a company of our size, if there is any legal dispute with Polaris, we will definitely not gain any advantage as long as it is in Hangzhou.”

"Both his intellect and his relationships should be included in his personal value."

Shen Zizhen suddenly suspected that she had foreseen this situation when she invested back then. "No wonder you weren't in a hurry just now."

"I've gotten to where I am today by starting from scratch, and that's because I never make mistakes."

"I could tell a long time ago that you really like this kid." Shen Zizhen felt a little envious. Although Yu Chunlan had taken a lot of care when she recruited him, it was nowhere near this level.

Yu Chunlan reached out and caught a few raindrops, then turned her head and slowly rolled up the car window with a blank expression.

"Of course, I like anyone who can help me make money."

......

Jiang Chao couldn't come over because his daughter was hospitalized, and Chen Lu stayed at the company until late at night for the first time.

Outside the window, the streetlights shone brightly, casting a cool glow on the road. Many college students walked in twos and threes, enjoying their carefree youth to the fullest.

The office was dark, with no lights on, and you could only see a little bit by the light from outside.

Chen Lu sat in the chair like a statue, remaining motionless for a long time.

As I was deep in thought, my phone on the table suddenly vibrated, the light from the screen appearing somewhat dazzling in the darkness.

Liang Zhirou: Where are you?

Chen Lu: I'm still at the company; I have some things to take care of.

Liang Zhirou: Shall I come to see you?

Liang Zhirou: I'll wait outside, I won't cause you any trouble...

Chen Lu: No need, it's too late, I'll go back now.

As he walked out of the office, the lights were already off. Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly heard Peng Leyun greet him.

"Brother Lu, want to go out for a late-night snack?"

Chen Lu was startled and shuddered. "Why the hell aren't you gone yet? It's almost eleven o'clock."

"I've been the champion of working overtime for several years in a row, I can't let you interrupt me, can I?"

"..."

Seeing Chen Lu leave speechlessly, Peng Leyun quickly took out her phone and sent a message in the group chat.

Peng Leyun: Brother Lu is gone...

Xiaojie: When did this happen? How could it be so sudden?

Peng Leyun: Just now.

The group chat, which had dozens of members, remained silent for a long time.

Finally, Xiaojie sent out a voice message first, her tone completely devoid of her usual timidity, as intense as could be:

"Peng Leyun! Didn't we tell you to keep an eye on things?! Is this how you keep an eye on things?"

Tying a husky to the company gate would probably be more useful than you!

How could you do this to us? How could you do this to the boss's wife? Bah! You're a sinner for all time!

Peng Leyun: No, I said he left the company, saying he was going home.

Lin Miaomiao: How can you talk like that?

Peng Leyun: My condition seems to be normal, about the same as usual.

Xiaojie retracted a message.

Xiao Jie: Received! Remember to report any further developments, Le Yun Ge~

Lin Miaomiao: @Xiaojie, I still prefer your unruly attitude from just now. Please try to come back to your old self.

Lin Miaomiao: Who should keep watch next time? Let's roll the dice, whoever gets the lowest number goes.

...

Back home, Liang Zhirou was sitting alone on the sofa, her left arm hanging down naturally, her right hand tightly gripping her left arm, looking somewhat uneasy.

She did nothing; she just sat there quietly.

"Where are the two children?" he asked in a low voice.

"I just got him to sleep."

Chen Lu didn't know if it was just his imagination, but he felt a sense of relief when he saw this simpleton.

Chen Lu nodded slightly. He wanted to say he was hungry, but after checking the time, he decided against it.

He slowly sat down next to the girl and noticed that Liang Zhirou's eyes were slightly drooping with sleepiness. He asked again, "It's so late, why aren't you asleep?"

"I want to wait for you..."

As Liang Zhirou spoke, she rested her head on his shoulder, her voice incredibly gentle: "When Yunqi and Muxue grow up, will you take me out to play? You said before that you would take me to see the aurora borealis and the sea that glows."

"OK."

"Then, when we get older, I'll save enough money from my painting, and I want to open a coffee shop, like the one we went to for Liu Yan's wedding, with lots of desserts. You can play games and fish in your spare time, and if you're really bored, you can come over and help me run the shop... Wouldn't that be pretty wonderful?"

Chen Lu nodded slightly in agreement, not quite understanding at first.

He opened his mouth slightly, somewhat surprised, since he had never heard this simpleton mention this before.

"Why did you suddenly decide to open a coffee shop?"

"I feel like that way I can eat lots and lots of cream puffs and other things, and I won't have to pay the difference."

Chen Lu chuckled and reached out to pinch the girl's cheek. "Looking at how greedy you are, anyone who didn't know better would think you're super fat, but you don't have any meat on your bones at all."

However, Master Chen was very satisfied to hear that Liang Zhirou was becoming more and more sensible.

It wasn't for nothing that he had tempted this simpleton to eat, drink, and have fun all these years.

Why is this silly guy suddenly talking to him about the future?

Chen Lu felt something was off; Liang Zhirou had never mentioned these things before.

The living room gradually quieted down, and the faint fragrance emanating from the girl's hair and body calmed Chen Lu's previously anxious heart.

He reached out and put his arm around Liang Zhirou's slender waist, preparing to lean in and kiss her. The girl sensed his intention, so she slowly closed her eyes and waited obediently.

As Chen Lu gazed at the girl's delicate, curled eyelashes, just as their lips were about to touch, he suddenly paused, his gaze involuntarily drifting towards the bedroom.

Chen Muxue had somehow managed to stand up, gripping the crib railing, sucking her thumb while staring at them with her two clear, bright eyes.

...Poor kid.
