Lu Jianshen never took Lu Chengyi's little schemes seriously. How could he not see through his nephew's wolfish ambitions?
However, he and his nephew are only a few years apart in age; it's uncertain who will die before whom.
Chen Lei then said, "President Lu, your mentor from university has invited you to dinner tonight."
Lu Jianshen nodded. He hadn't seen his mentor for over two years, and it was time to pay him a visit.
He had originally planned to visit his mentor during the Chinese New Year, but he was too busy with business during that time and didn't even have time to take a vacation, let alone visit him.
“My master and mistress have come all this way to Beijing, so I should treat them well.”
Chen Lei nodded; he had arranged everything perfectly.
However, it's likely that Mr. Lu's mentor came not just for a simple reunion.
He said, "Mr. Lu, I have a feeling they might want to introduce you to a girlfriend."
Since President Lu has no parents, the only people who care about him are his master and his wife.
Chen Lei was right. His master and mistress had come to introduce a marriage prospect to Lu Jianshen. The person they were introducing was another of their prized students, who was Lu Jianshen's junior sister!
At the dinner table, the master mentioned this matter, and he also felt sorry for his student.
“Jianshen, you’re over 30 now. You can’t keep wasting your time like this. Your teacher’s wife and I are very proud of your achievements over the past two years! But it’s time to settle your marriage. You can’t treat yourself like an emotionless work machine!”
“Yes, Jian Shen, your master and I always feel bad seeing you all alone. You should have someone caring for you by your side…”
As Lu Jianshen listened to his master and mistress rambling on about settling down and starting a family, he simply smiled and agreed.
However, no response was given.
After thinking for a moment, the teacher's wife said, "Mengya is also your master's favorite student. If you think she's suitable, you can keep her by your side as your assistant."
Lu Jianshen's cold gaze swept indifferently over the girl on the table, and he nodded without objection.
The teacher introduced someone to him, so he should accept the introduction.
As for what his teacher's wife said—that he could develop a relationship with a girl he thought was suitable—he never had such thoughts.
In this lifetime, Tang Li is probably the only one in his heart.
Chen Mengya cautiously sized up the man in front of her, her heart pounding.
She had known about her fellow student since she was in college, when she read financial magazines and often heard her master mention him.
Although she had never met him in person before, Chen Mengya was already captivated by the interviews she had seen in those financial magazines.
In addition, Chen Mengya was always longing for the opportunity to stand by Lu Jianshen whenever her master mentioned him. She never thought that she would have the chance to stand by Lu Jianshen's side.
The master even intended to introduce himself to Lu Jianshen as his girlfriend.
Chen Mengya secretly vowed in her heart that she would definitely perform well and strive to be worthy of Lu Jianshen.
In Lu Jianshen's heart, she was always a junior student introduced by his master, suitable to be an assistant, an employee, or a subordinate, but not suitable to be a girlfriend.

Time flies, and five years have passed in the blink of an eye.
When Shen Qingxu went abroad on a business trip, he took the opportunity to visit his younger sister Tang Li and told her about what had happened in China.
In recent years, China has also developed rapidly.
In the rose-filled manor, Tang Li was wholeheartedly drawing design plans, her mind immersed in romance.
Shen Qingxu asked her, "You missed a lot of interesting things. Did you feel any regret while you were abroad?"
Tang Li shook her head. Now, besides going to school to study, she also has to draw and spend time with her son. She's extremely busy.
"I'm having a very fulfilling time here!"
Looking at her current state of life, leisurely and carefree, without any anxiety, Shen Qingxu roughly understood that she did not regret going abroad.
"The Tang family has been barely surviving for the past few years. They did manage to close two deals recently, but it hasn't really helped much. Tang Nanquan has started thinking of other ways. He plans to find a wealthy blind date for his goddaughter, Ye Ru."
Tang Li chuckled softly. When she heard her father's name again, she was surprisingly calm, as if Shen Qingxu was now saying a name that had nothing to do with her.
"They live together as a family and get along quite well."
But ultimately, I could never truly belong in that family.
Shen Qingxu nodded, with a hint of gossip, "The blind date he found for Ye Ru has been married three times already, he's no good, and he's over 60 this year!"
A 60-year-old man who has been married three times?
Tang Li shook her head.
Shen Qingxu said, "After all, she's not Tang Nanquan's biological daughter, so he doesn't care at all. Song Lan, on the other hand, is very sad about this matter and has been trying to dissuade him."
"Perhaps Ye Ru isn't her so-called goddaughter at all; she might be her biological daughter," Tang Li said.
Shen Qingxu nodded.
"We're pretty much on the same page about this. I also think it's a bit strange. Ye Ru must have some kind of relationship with Song Lan!"
Tang Li just smiled; she no longer cared.
The Tang family's affairs are no longer her concern, and she has little to do with them anymore.
Shen Qingxu paused for a moment, then asked, "Do you want to know about that person?"
"who?"
Tang Li suddenly stopped painting. She thought she had a pretty good idea of who it was, but she still wanted to ask who it was.
