In the afternoon, the sun was blazing.
Chen Lu sat in the car, twirling the bank card Liang Zhirou had given him between his fingers, gazing at it quietly.
A moment later, he suddenly raised the corners of his mouth again.
A dowry of 100,000 yuan...
That's outrageous.
It's amazing that this silly goose managed to save up that much.
As it turns out, Liang Zhirou has always had her stubbornness and strength.
Unlike other girls, she didn't have her parents help her prepare her dowry.
But she didn't accept his tolerance with a clear conscience; instead, she chose to earn her own living—relying on her own two hands.
Then, like other girls, she can marry the person she wants to marry in a proper way.
I'm no worse than anyone else in any way.
"Brother Lu, what are you laughing at?"
Sitting in the passenger seat, Peng Leyun asked curiously.
"What? I'm getting my marriage certificate soon, can't I smile?" Chen Lu glanced at him and continued looking at the bank card in her hand, as if there were flowers on it.
"Brother Chao wasn't as silly and happy as you were before he got married... Oh, he was pregnant before marriage, so his situation is different."
Upon hearing this, Chen Lu couldn't help but chuckle mischievously twice, "Hurry up and find a girlfriend, but in the meantime, you'll need to find someone you like."
This person is probably destined to spend their entire life with a two-dimensional character.
Peng Leyun turned his head to look out the window. There were two other cars circling around the parking lot, looking for an empty space. After watching for a while, he said softly, "I have someone I like."
"?"
Chen Lu was taken aback and glanced at him sideways. "Really? I've never heard you say that before."
"None of you asked me before, did you?" Peng Leyun said matter-of-factly.
The people in the company seemed to have been brainwashed; once they decided he was a shut-in who only liked work and anime characters, they regarded him as a freak without any worldly desires.
He wasn't even given a chance to explain.
He can't exactly use a megaphone to shout at the company, "Actually, I'm a normal person. I also like sweet and soft girls in real life, right?"
They're probably going to be expelled from the community on the spot.
"If you like someone, go after them."
Why pursue someone? Does liking someone mean you have to be together?
"You're not some ambitious warlord, are you?"
“No, she’s single.” Peng Leyun looked out the window expressionlessly. “I just feel like she’s like a cloud floating in the sky, free and carefree, with no worries in her head, always thinking about where she’s going next.”
If my interference will change her true nature, then I'd better just observe quietly.
"...My goodness, I never expected you to have such a broad perspective."
It can only be said that everyone has their own view on love. If Liang Zhirou or Jiang Chao heard this, they would probably have their CPUs overloaded on the spot. Anyway, he doesn't understand it either, but he respects it.
He hoped that Liang Zhirou's presence would be felt everywhere in his future life, and he assumed that Liang Zhirou felt the same way.
"What if you miss it? Aren't you afraid you'll regret it?" After a moment, Chen Lu couldn't help but ask.
"I never even considered being together, so why did we miss out?"
"Holy crap."
Chen Lu fell silent.
They chatted casually in the car when Yu Chunlan's secretary called. The two of them deliberately stayed in the car a few more minutes before getting off.
As Chen Lu walked to the company entrance, he looked up at the tall building in front of him and saw the four large characters "Guoxiang Capital" on it.
The fact that a company primarily engaged in finance and investment can build such an impressive office building speaks volumes. It's not just in Hangzhou, but probably in the entire country.
"Are you nervous because we're playing away today?"
Chen Lu turned his head and asked, "None of the companies we contacted before had such an impressive size, so they all sent people to Polaris specifically to negotiate with us."
This one is different; this is a real powerhouse.
Moreover, Yu Chunlan seemed to give him a lot of face; the employees sent by the small companies before were all specifically responsible for the investigation.
This time, they will be able to meet Yu Chunlan in person.
"My mindset doesn't affect my performance at all. I've been giving reports on this project to various companies lately, and I can recite what I need to say with my eyes closed."
As Peng Leyun spoke, she casually wiped her glasses with a tissue and then put them back on. "So I'm not nervous at all."
"I'm nervous," Chen Lu suddenly chuckled.
Why?
This was the first time Peng Leyun had heard Chen Lu say he was nervous.
He firmly believed that, apart from that proprietress, no one in the world could break through Chen Lu's psychological defenses head-on.
“When our company was first established, this person came to the school to see me. He was not easy to deal with.”
After Chen Lu finished speaking, he took two deep breaths and then walked slowly into the company gate as if nothing had happened.
"I wish Polaris could build an office building like this someday...dozens of floors, so impressive." Peng Leyun quickly followed Chen Lu to his side and muttered to himself.
He'd be willing to wait for decades, let alone more than ten years.
“We’re just a game company, it’s tough,” Chen Lu said with a nonchalant smile. “Besides, the market is pretty much divided up. Maybe I can still start over and go back to twenty years ago, becoming a reincarnated player.”
The fact that Polaris has come this far is a testament to its good fortune and the result of its hard work in managing and merging with others.
Peng Leyun found Chen Lu's nonchalant demeanor increasingly strange.
Chen Lu has the ability to build Polaris into what it is today; he could definitely earn more in other industries.
Why do I feel even more regret than he does?
“Once Polaris stabilizes in the future, you can try to transform your business. As long as you don’t cancel the game project, I’m willing to stick with you to the end,” Peng Leyun earnestly suggested.
