"ah?"
Liang Zhirou made a rather unwise sound.
Not spending your family's money?
Having been together for so long, she now has only one reaction to hearing this:
Who got tricked by her boyfriend this time?
"W-It shouldn't be me, right? I only have two thousand yuan left in my WeChat account..."
As Liang Zhirou was muttering to herself, Chen Lu suddenly grabbed her clasped hands.
Chen Lu gave her a mischievous grin and said softly, "You go first, you'll find out when you get there."
Seeing the girl's mouth slightly open, as if her brain had shut down, Chen Lu didn't give her a chance to think and quickly pulled her downstairs.
There was a fairly upscale swimming pool in this area, and the group arrived at the pool before noon.
After entering, Liang Zhirou and Chen Xiaomeng sat obediently on the chairs, waiting for Chen Lu to communicate with the front desk.
"Hello, if you want to go swimming, I recommend you get a membership card. There are discounts for membership cards now," the receptionist said in a very enthusiastic tone.
"No membership card, I'll have the whole place to myself."
The receptionist was taken aback. "What did you say?"
“I’ve booked the whole place for the company team building.” Chen Lu handed over his business card with a nonchalant expression and smiled at Liang Zhirou.
The receptionist was, after all, just a receptionist. After a moment of hesitation, she quickly ran to contact the boss.
The boss has a great vision; since he couldn't come immediately, he personally communicated with Chen Lu over the phone.
The swimming pool couldn't do something as stupid as kicking people out directly, so Chen Lu only booked the afternoon, which was after 12 o'clock—originally, he was supposed to wait until 2 pm, but since Chen Lu wanted to book the whole place, they could make an exception.
Afterwards, Chen Lu sat on a bench in the lobby and sent messages to the company's group chat.
Chen Lu: "We'll have a break after 2 PM. Those who want to rest can go home and rest, and those who don't want to rest can come for team building. @Everyone"
Chen Lu: "I booked a swimming pool."
Xiaojie: "Yay! How can there be such a great boss!"
Just as Chen Lu had predicted, there wasn't much to do these days except for managing "Tower of Slaughter" and "Rebirth Cells" a little. The group of people were getting bored of slacking off, so they were overjoyed to hear the news.
After waiting a while and seeing countless "good" messages scrolling by, and everyone getting excited, Chen Lu continued clicking the screen.
Chen Lu: "Ah, I suddenly remembered I'm out of money. How about we postpone this holiday? I'll take you guys swimming once I've got my funds back."
Lin Miaomiao: "?"
After watching a group of people break down in their defenses for a long time, Chen Lu finally received the message he most wanted to see.
Xiao Jie: "I really want to rest... How about we crowdfund? If we split the cost, everyone will definitely pay much less than if we just skipped work. And those of us who want to go swimming can go swimming too."
Lin Miaomiao: "I suspect this scoundrel of a boss is up to something."
Peng Leyun: "Everyone in the programming team has been working hard lately. Take a break this afternoon. I'll contribute 10,000."
Chen Lu was afraid that this guy would start imagining some kind of shady plan again, so he quickly said, "No need to spend so much. Not many people swim on this day, so even if we book the whole place, it won't be expensive."
The group of people were already excited at the mention of a holiday and team building activities, let alone the fact that it wasn't expensive.
In no time at all, the money needed to book the entire venue was raised.
Seeing the group of people cheering and jumping for joy in the group chat, Chen Lu's lips gradually curled into a smug smile.
Team building is just a pretense; the real purpose is to sell holidays at clearly marked prices.
He booked the entire venue for free, and the employees enjoyed a pleasant holiday—a win-win situation.
Anyway, he told the employees that they would have a holiday after 2 o'clock, so he and Liang Zhirou just needed to leave with Xiaomeng before 2 o'clock.
Xiaomeng is just a child, she'll definitely get bored in less than two hours.
Liang Zhirou sat to the side, her eyes glazed over as she witnessed Chen Lu's scheme to get something for nothing.
"Chen Lu, you're so mean..." the girl said, stunned.
This person is utterly wicked; no wonder I fall for his tricks every day.
Chen Lu was unconvinced and held his phone up in front of her, "What's wrong with me? Look how happy they are."
......
Perhaps because they were big clients who had booked the entire venue, the swimming pool allowed each of them to choose a swimsuit for free.
Liang Zhirou and Chen Xiaomeng, being the girls, took longer to choose, so Chen Lu had to change his clothes first and come to the poolside to wait for Liang Zhirou to bring Xiaomeng out.
It's fair to say that this is more convenient for boys; they only need to wear swim trunks.
Just as I was trying to remember when I last went swimming, the door not far away suddenly opened.
Looking to the side, I saw Chen Xiaomeng bouncing out with a swimming ring in her arms, followed closely by Liang Zhirou.
Liang Zhirou was wearing a beige one-piece swimsuit with the hem only reaching her upper thighs. Above that, her beautiful collarbones and her breasts were faintly visible.
When the girl turned around to help Xiaomeng adjust her swim cap, Chen Lu noticed that there was a large open back on her swimsuit, revealing her fair and smooth skin and showcasing the beautiful curves of her back.
She also tied a knot with a thin rope around her waist.
Boys always have some weird XP systems, and it was this thing that almost stole Chen Lu's soul.
Chen Lu couldn't bear to watch any longer in front of Xiao Meng, so he reluctantly looked away and gazed at the azure swimming pool.
Just as he was about to calm himself down, he suddenly realized that only a few months had passed and the Preface to the Pavilion of Prince Teng had already lost its effect.
He betrayed the Preface to the Pavilion of Prince Teng, and the Preface to the Pavilion of Prince Teng betrayed him in return.
Just as Chen Lu was trying to stabilize his Dao heart, Liang Zhirou timidly walked up to him.
