April Hotel, Pearl City.
In one of the suites, Lu Junzhuo was gently swirling a glass of red wine.
His face still carried a hint of paleness, though his body had recovered considerably.
The injury from that punch a few days ago had been quite severe, leaving him still somewhat shaken.
"Junzhuo, I heard you're good at massage. My shoulder's feeling uncomfortable, could you give it a rub?~"
A woman sitting across from him called out in a coquettish voice.
The woman couldn't be described as beautiful - she was barely human-shaped.
Her layers of fat folded into five or six rolls, making her look like the Michelin Man.
This was Li Xuefei, the owner of April Group. Her name might make one think of a great beauty.
Unfortunately, there was an enormous disparity between her name and her actual appearance.
"Of course."
Lu Junzhuo's eyes flashed with disgust, though he hid it well.
He walked behind Li Xuefei and gently massaged her shoulders, feeling as if he were kneading breathing fat.
The greasy sensation transmitted through his fingertips made him want to vomit.
If he didn't need to use this woman, he wouldn't go anywhere near her.
The biggest difference between him and Ye Chen was that he wouldn't put on airs like Ye Chen did.
For the sake of using someone! He'd even flirt with a seventy-year-old woman with facial warts!
"Oh, that feels good, press a little harder."
Li Xuefei wore an expression of contentment.
Suppressing his urge to vomit, Lu Junzhuo asked, "Is everything arranged for today?"
"It's all arranged, don't worry Junzhuo. Whatever you like, I'll give it to you."
Li Xuefei said tenderly while stroking Lu Junzhuo's hand.
Lu Junzhuo gave a slight nod, his mood improving somewhat.
Last time his scheme to gain favor with Bai Wanyi had backfired unexpectedly.
This time he simply adjusted his target to Wang Yixue.
She was close to the Tang family, and if she became his woman, she could help him considerably!
...
At this moment, Tang Yu and his companion had just gotten off their plane.
After deplaning, Wang Yixue was still happily holding onto Tang Yu's arm with a smile.
She was just delighted to be close to Tang Yu.
"Why are you clinging to me like a koala?"
Tang Yu asked with a smile, seeing Wang Yixue's happy face.
"Koalas hang on trees, I'm not hanging on you yet."
Wang Yixue whispered in Tang Yu's ear.
"But I could treat you like a pole and do a pole dance in a bunny girl outfit, then I'd be hanging on you."
Tang Yu imagined the scene.
[Damn, that actually sounds kind of hot?]
[No, no being perverted.]
[If we keep talking about this, things are going to get awkward.]
Hearing Tang Yu's thoughts, Wang Yixue was laughing hysterically inside. This reserved pervert was trying to act innocent with her.
Though... she had actually brought a bunny girl outfit this time.
It was rare for them to go on a business trip alone together - it was practically a vacation in disguise.
After leaving the airport, they took a car to the hotel.
"Regarding the merger project, what do you think about the share distribution? They're suggesting they want 30% of the shares after the merger, which I don't think is reasonable."
Sitting in the car, Wang Yixue handed the documents to Tang Yu.
Tang Yu glanced at them briefly and smiled, "We'll discuss it when we meet."
[There's nothing to discuss, this deal definitely won't happen.]
[It's just another trap set by that dog Lu Junzhuo.]
[He wants to lure you there, drug you, and play the hero to take advantage of you.]
[Compared to him, at least Ye Chen is half a pure love warrior.]
After hearing Tang Yu's thoughts, Wang Yixue was stunned.
Lu Junzhuo? Who was that?
He seemed to be similar to Ye Chen?
And he was plotting against her?
She narrowed her eyes and quickly sent out a message on her phone.
Since the incident with Ye Chen, the Wang family had started recruiting, bringing in several martial arts masters for protection.
She currently had two bodyguards secretly protecting her.
After sending messages to the two bodyguards, a cold glint flashed in her eyes.
If someone dared to play dirty with her, they'd better not fall into her hands.
But thinking about how Tang Yu was so worried that he came along, she felt extremely happy.
Holding onto Tang Yu's arm, she pressed against him happily and said, "After we finish our business here, let's stay and play for a few days."
"Play for a few days? I have matters to attend to in a couple of days, maybe next time."
Tang Yu gave a bitter smile.
He was still keeping an eye on the auction matters, and he was determined to seize this opportunity.
This damned system was calculating away - relying on this fool would surely lead to disaster.
"Fine, then give me a kiss as compensation."
Wang Yixue pointed at her cheek with a grin.
Tang Yu looked at her face and coughed awkwardly, hesitating.
This flirty woman was at it again.
"Hurry up, or you'll be breaking the law, you know?"
Wang Yixue patted Tang Yu's leg urging him.
"What law?"
"Going against a woman's wishes, isn't that breaking the law?"
After she said this, they both burst into laughter in the car.
As they were laughing, Wang Yixue suddenly wrapped her arms around Tang Yu's neck and planted a big kiss on his cheek.
After leaving a lipstick mark on Tang Yu's face, Wang Yixue said with a grin, "Don't wipe it off."
"How can I meet people with this on?"
Tang Yu smiled wryly as he started wiping it off.
The driver in the front seat glanced in the rearview mirror, feeling extremely jealous.
Sigh, he was handsome when he was young too.
Why didn't he have beautiful women throwing themselves at him like this?
When they arrived at the hotel and got out of the car, Li Xuefei was already waiting at the entrance.
Seeing such a large mass of flesh from afar, Tang Yu inwardly exclaimed.
[Damn, she's like Miss Thousand Pounds, her appearance is truly otherworldly.]
[I heard she has three thousand toy boys, man, that's some hard bread to eat.]
[With that tonnage, she likes playing with steel wire balls too. Getting paid a million a month as her boy toy would be well-earned.]
Listening to Tang Yu's internal complaints, Wang Yixue tried hard not to laugh out loud.
"Ms. Wang, I hope you had a pleasant journey. And this is...?"
Li Xuefei extended her hand to shake Wang Yixue's.
Her beady little eyes kept roaming over Tang Yu's body, as if she had X-ray vision, making Tang Yu's skin crawl.
She even swallowed noticeably.
This handsome man was even more attractive than Lu Junzhuo.
"This is my boyfriend Tang Yu, also the executive of Tang Corporation. He holds forty-five percent shares in our family's e-commerce platform."
Noticing Li Xuefei's gaze, Wang Yixue felt a surge of anger.
This woman, her broken company was asking for trouble.
"Oh, so you're the young master of the Tang family from Su Hang. I've always heard you were handsome, and seeing is believing indeed."
Li Xuefei quickly extended her hand to shake Tang Yu's.
Tang Yu didn't dare to take it, and gave an awkward smile.
"I'm sorry, Ms. Li, I just used the bathroom and haven't washed my hands. It would be disrespectful to shake hands with you."
"..."
A flash of hatred crossed Li Xuefei's eyes.
Using that as an excuse? Was he looking down on her?
She hated it most when men looked down on her.
That's why whenever any of her boy toys gave her even a slightly wrong look, she would teach them a lesson with her rich lady's joy balls!
Even for men who weren't her toy boys, if they dared to look at her that way.
She would find ways to make them submit to her!
Tang Yu had now become her target.
This man, she was determined to conquer him today!
