Chapter 129 Selling one's daughter for personal gain?
Lu Qianqian disliked Lu Kai's fawning smile, feeling it was as if he were selling his daughter for personal gain.
The board meeting was held in the afternoon. Stocks determine everything. Lu Qianqian currently owns 35% of the shares, so she should rightfully be the chairperson. Lu Kai was also reappointed as the company's president.
The board meeting was brief. After Lu Qianqian finished her announcement, she left immediately, leaving a group of council members looking at each other in bewilderment.
Lu Kai had intended to invite Rong Changqing to stay for dinner, but Rong Changqing gave him a cold look, and he dared not say anything more.
However, for every bad cop, there's a good cop.
Lu Qianqian promised Lu Kai that she would go home tomorrow at noon, but she would be alone. She didn't want to bring Rong Changqing back to that smoky house, where Lu Tingting might even spy on them.
"You've become a rich woman, why do you still look unhappy?" Rong Changqing took her hand and walked towards the basement parking lot.
Lu Qianqian was secretly unhappy, but now that Rong Changqing had exposed her, she decided to make her unhappy openly.
She pouted and said, "Why do I have a father like this?"
My heart aches even more for my mother. She must have been blind to marry such a man!
“You can’t choose your parents, but you can choose your husband,” Rong Changqing teased her in the ear. “You have good taste in husbands.”
Lu Qianqian was amused and chuckled, saying, "Do I have a choice?"
"...It seems not!" In the beginning, it was only his idea for the two of them to be together.
"That's right." Lu Qianqian sighed and joked, "Alas, my life is truly pathetic."
Rong Changqing opened the car door and helped her in: "Your life is like it's been cheated on. You're so lucky that I actually took a liking to you."
After saying that, he got into the driver's seat.
Today, the Second Young Master drove himself; Fa Cai Hong Zhong did not come along.
Lu Qianqian snorted a few times and laughed, "You're so shameless."
However, my mood improved after hearing that sentence, and I even felt happy and wanted to sing. How did that happen?
……
Rong Wanru locked herself in the room, her whole body covered in those ambiguous marks, she was quite crazy.
The memories of last night are still lingering in my mind.
She didn't know what had scared her, but from initially refusing to later welcoming him openly, she felt like she was floating in heaven.
No wonder so many wealthy women like to keep men as lovers; it's so wonderful!
Thinking about it this way, Zhang Shengqin was really useless. He only lasted five minutes each time, leaving her with no feeling at all.
She couldn't remember the men from yesterday, but everyone was very excited, and with one after another going on top of her, she was really well taken care of.
Yes, these men are all there to serve her.
So she decided not to call the police, since it would damage her reputation if this got out!
Besides, she genuinely felt very comfortable and hoped for another date.
“Wanru…” Just then, there was a knock at the door. It was her mother. “Why did you lock yourself in your bedroom as soon as you got back? Where did you go to play last night? You didn’t come back all night.”
Rong Wanru was startled. Her neck was covered in hickeys, and she absolutely couldn't let her mother see them. So she replied, "I was out late with my friends last night, and then Shengqin picked me up and took me to his place. Don't worry, I'm not a child."
"Oh, I see. Open the door, I have something to tell you."
Rong Wanru refused to open the door: "Mom, I'm very tired. Just let me sleep. We can talk about it later."
"You brat, you're not asleep but you insist on going to sleep. Mom wants to ask when you and Shengqin plan to get married? Zhang's Real Estate has been doing very well lately, and the stock has gone up. Your father said you should get married soon to avoid any unforeseen problems."
Upon hearing this, Rong Wanru's gaze darkened, and she nodded, saying, "Okay, I understand."
"Alright, you go to sleep first. When you wake up, I'll go to the Zhang family with you."
Rong Wanru frowned immediately. How could she go to the Zhang family in her current state?
Never mind, let's just stall for a while.
"Okay, I'm going to sleep."
After a while, there was no sound outside the door, and Rong Wanru finally breathed a sigh of relief.
She and Zhang Shengqin had been engaged for so long, but the Zhang family hadn't announced a wedding date. She had harbored resentment, but after what happened yesterday, she felt a pang of guilt towards Zhang Shengqin.
Sigh, they're only just engaged, let's wait a bit longer.
However, we still need to deal with what happened last night. We need to keep quiet about what needs to be kept quiet and bribe those who need to be bribed!
And what exactly did Peng Xuze do?
They clearly agreed that Lu Qianqian would go, so how did it become her?
Damn it.
……
Zhang Liangzhi didn't buy takeout because his mother said takeout wasn't good, so he bought some vegetables and meat and cooked hot pot at home.
Of course, we also need to thank Qi Tiao for his great help and Lu Qianqian for assisting with this meal.
At 5:30 p.m., Zhang Liangzhi's parents, along with the family of his blind date, arrived at Villa No. 9 in the underground palace.
The girl on the blind date was named Ran Wenqi. Her parents were colleagues of Zhang Liangzhi's parents; they were all government officials and civil servants.
Ran Wenqi has just graduated from university and is working as a clerk in a company in Beijing. She has just started her internship.
Zhang Liangzhi's parents watched Ran Wenqi grow up and liked her very much. Now that Ran Wenqi was working in the capital, they wanted to introduce her to their son.
Although Ran Wenqi had only recently arrived in the capital, she already knew the status of the Imperial Palace.
That was the top of the pyramid, something unattainable, yet I never expected to be brought to the imperial palace today. I was completely dumbfounded.
As for Zhang Liangzhi, because both sets of parents had a good relationship and visited each other frequently, she had known Zhang Liangzhi since childhood, but she couldn't say she liked him.
Because Zhang Liangzhi was very introverted, they barely spoke a few words to each other. In addition, she had always dreamed of becoming a princess and marrying a wealthy man since she was a child, so she naturally looked down on Zhang Liangzhi, who came from an ordinary civil servant family.
So she refused to come.
But when she arrived, she was excited.
Zhang Liangzhi has become so successful that she can afford to live in an imperial palace. It's a source of great pride for her. Why would she need to work as a clerk in a small company?
It would be so much better to live in the imperial palace as a wealthy heiress.
So, as soon as she saw Zhang Liangzhi, she lowered her head shyly and said with a blush, "Brother Liangzhi, it's been a long time."
Zhang Liangzhi's gaze swept over her indifferently, and he took the luggage from his father's hands. "I told you I would pick you up from the airport, but you insisted on not doing so."
"Just take a taxi here, why make you run around?" Zhang's mother gently scolded her and smiled. It was also the first time she had seen her son's place, which was so magnificent that she was a little dumbfounded.
"Son, isn't it too extravagant for you to live here?"
