Well Done

Lu Chengwen was stunned.

The situation had reached a life-or-death crisis!

Two Main Heroines had their arms linked through his, Long Aotian was behind him, and Iron Tuo Wang stood before him.

Long Aotian and Iron Tuo Wang wouldn't need more than three sentences before both of them flew into a rage and jumped him.

Forget those two—even any one of the four muscular brutes behind Iron Tuo Wang could send him straight back to the newbie village to start life over.

How many days had it been? Four?

Was four days really his limit?

At that moment, Xu Xuejiao lightly pinched Lu Chengwen's arm, then said smugly, "Oh my, Big guy, you look so familiar."

Iron Tuo Wang looked embarrassed and gave an awkward laugh. "Oh, haha... this is... a misunderstanding. Everything before was a misunderstanding."

Long Aotian thought, Why are these people chatting now?

That darkest one was Iron Tuo Wang, right? He knew Lu Chengwen too?

Long Aotian said, "Let's go inside and talk."

Lu Chengwen had no way to leave now. How could he leave? The instant he tried to run, he would be exposed.

If he didn't run... he had to think of something.

As Lu Chengwen walked, he thought, his legs practically refusing to obey him.

Xu Xuejiao pinched Lu Chengwen again. "Hold on! Hang in there!"

Although Leng Qingqiu had no idea what was happening, Lu Chengwen was clearly tense. The hand she held was soaked in sweat.

Someone behind them leaned close to Iron Tuo Wang. "Rumor has it the young master's martial arts are unrivaled and that he is a heaven-sent genius. Why are his steps so unsteady? He doesn't look like he knows martial arts at all—he looks sickly."

Iron Tuo Wang lowered his voice. "What the hell do you know? The young master fought a brutal battle at the border and won peerless merits, but he was seriously injured too. His strength isn't at its peak right now. He returned to Northern Country to use strategy to swallow up the major families here for future use. Don't talk nonsense. If you offend the young master, we'll all be in deep trouble."

"Shouldn't we confirm it again?"

"Confirm what?" Iron Tuo Wang said. "Look at him—dashing and romantic, stealing hearts and seducing beauties, surrounded by women, even being supported by two women as he walks. He's showing off to the absolute limit! In all the world, who else has such a talent for showing off? Get lost!"

They arrived at a private room in the café.

Everyone took their seats.

Iron Tuo Wang offered Lu Chengwen a seat. Lu Chengwen coughed and gave him a look. Iron Tuo Wang understood and sat in the Head Seat himself.

Long Aotian felt that something was wrong!

Why hadn't this guy greeted him? Instead, he seemed extremely respectful toward Lu Chengwen. What was going on?

Did this guy know something? Could he not be Iron Tuo Wang?

Long Aotian stood with a smile. "May I ask if you are Mr. Tie?"

"That's right. I am Tie Mu'er."

Long Aotian froze. What kind of shitty name is that? If you're using a fake name, can't you make it more believable?

"Mr. Tie, first, please allow me to introduce someone. This is the executive president of our Qianfeng Group, Miss Leng Qingqiu."

Seeing Leng Qingqiu and Xu Xuejiao both pressed close to Lu Chengwen, Tie Mu'er sighed inwardly in admiration.

As expected of the young master!

He had already conquered the two great beauties from two major families!

It had to be said that Leng Qingqiu was truly stunning beyond words. Her temperament was who knew how much better than that little loli's.

Those idiots only knew how to spread nonsense. The young master was clearly riding high and making rapid progress. How could they say he had encountered resistance, or that some brat was opposing him?

Who would dare oppose a hero like the young master? Who could oppose him? Wouldn't that be courting death?

It seemed this trip would at most be icing on the cake. He had to perform well and leave the young master with a good impression.

Whether he rose to great heights and soared through the ranks in the future depended on how well he performed on this business trip!

With that in mind, Tie Mu'er immediately smiled. "Miss Leng is indeed a peerless beauty, and so young and accomplished."

Leng Qingqiu forced a smile. "You flatter me, Mr. Tie."

Lu Chengwen was somewhat afraid to meet Iron Tuo Wang's eyes.

He thought to himself:

There's only one path left! Keep pretending to be the young master and trick this guy into trusting me.

If I don't deceive him, I die. If I'm exposed, I die. Only by completely fooling this black iron tower do I have any chance of surviving!

I'm going all in! From now on, I'll hypnotize myself—I am the young master. I am!

Let me show you what real acting looks like!

Leng Qingqiu finally understood what was going on.

Xu Xuejiao had known all along that Lu Chengwen was deceiving this big black guy and making him mistake Lu Chengwen for Long Aotian.

Although she had no idea why he still hadn't been exposed even after giving his name, since he hadn't been exposed, they had to keep acting.

Rather than look at Iron Tuo Wang, Lu Chengwen turned around, pinched Xu Xuejiao's chin, and said with a grin, "Sister Xuejiao, I really like your scent."

He didn't dare overdo the act, afraid Leng Qingqiu beside him would blow up.

But to his surprise, Leng Qingqiu had already read the situation from his thoughts and fully cooperated.

"Brother Chengwen, Sister Xuejiao smells nice, but don't I smell nice too? Why don't you take a whiff?"

Lu Chengwen was utterly shocked. He turned to look at Leng Qingqiu and saw unwavering support in her eyes.

Lu Chengwen instantly understood, his spirits soaring.

Good! Leng Qingqiu, you're truly brilliant. I didn't waste three years licking your boots!

Just for that lightning-fast reaction today, those three years weren't unfair at all.

"Ha ha ha!" Lu Chengwen turned back and pinched Leng Qingqiu's chin. "Then I'll have to smell you before I know."

"Then... come smell me."

Lu Chengwen looked at her.

Holy shit, you're really cooperating? This isn't the time to chicken out. If I chicken out now, I'm dead.

Whatever. I'll apologize to these two gorgeous ladies afterward. Today isn't a placement match—it's a goddamn elimination match. I have to win!

Like a lecherous wolf, Lu Chengwen buried his face directly in Leng Qingqiu's chest, took a deep breath, then raised his head with an intoxicated look. "Mmm—so fragrant!"

Xu Xuejiao refused to be outdone. She practically draped herself over Lu Chengwen, lifting one leg onto him and pressing her body against his. "CEO Lu, this spot hurts a little. Help me rub it, okay?"

Lu Chengwen thought:

Ladies, please! Getting the point across is enough. You don't have to go this far! Won't I really become a pervert like this?

But with the arrow already on the string, he could only continue cooperating against his will.

Lu Chengwen's large hand went straight to Xu Xuejiao's thigh, stroking it back and forth before slipping beneath her skirt and slowly moving upward.

Of course, where no one could see beneath the skirt, Lu Chengwen was being perfectly proper. It only looked excessive from the outside.

Xu Xuejiao, as the person involved, naturally knew that.

But Leng Qingqiu didn't!

Leng Qingqiu thought, You two are going this far? Right in front of me?

Her competitive streak flared. She pressed herself against Lu Chengwen from the other side, draping her thigh over him as well. "Brother Chengwen, mine hurts too. Could you help rub it?"

Lu Chengwen could only take advantage of both sides...

Iron Tuo Wang secretly gave a thumbs-up in his heart. Young master, I truly admire you! Who in all the world could rival your skill at taming women? No one!

Long Aotian was nearly vomiting blood.

His eyes practically spat fire, the whites filled with blood vessels, as if he wanted his eyeballs to explode from glaring the next second.

Lu Chengwen! You bastard!

Xu Xuejiao said, "Brother, squeeze my chest and see if it's gotten a little bigger."

Leng Qingqiu said, "Brother, I want some too. You can't play favorites."

The two girls began competing.

Lu Chengwen cursed inwardly:

No, ladies, are you two sick?

You're competing over this too!?

Is this really the time to be jealous?

Lu Chengwen waved a hand. "Enough. Both of you, sit back down. I have business to discuss."

Xu Xuejiao immediately clapped. "Wow! Brother Chengwen is so imposing! I just love it when you're so commanding!"

Leng Qingqiu added, "I just love it when you're fierce. You're so manly."

Just kill me. Sooner or later, I'm going to die at your hands.

Fine, Xu Xuejiao wants me dead, but why does Leng Qingqiu have this side too?

Still, when she acts gentle, she's really lovable.

Lu Chengwen said, "Uh... Mr. Tie, right?"

"Yes, yes. I am, CEO Lu."

Long Aotian let out a breath and told himself to discuss business first. A lack of patience would ruin great plans.

"Mr. Tie, I am the Vice President newly appointed by Qianfeng Group. This time, we are discussing your injection of five billion into one of our Amusement Park Projects. You should already know most of the specific details. I think we might as well skip the intermediate steps and sign the contract and transfer the funds directly."

Tie Mu'er glanced at him, then looked at Lu Chengwen. "CEO Lu, what do you think...?"

Long Aotian immediately flared up.

They were talking about Qianfeng Group's business now, so why the hell were you looking at him?

Suppressing his anger, Long Aotian smiled and said, "Mr. Tie, this deal belongs to Qianfeng Group, not Great Sage Group. It has nothing to do with Lu Chengwen."

Iron Tuo Wang suddenly realized. "Right! What's going on?"

Lu Chengwen said, "Can't you see that Qianfeng Group's president is in my arms? I can make decisions for half of Qianfeng Group."

"Oh, then that's wonderful..." Iron Tuo Wang laughed. "In that case, I'll invest—"

"Wait!" Long Aotian looked at Iron Tuo Wang, thinking, If I weren't in such a hurry to use these five billion to strengthen my position, I'd slap you to death today, you gigantic idiot.

Long Aotian reminded him, "Mr. Tie, you came to Xue City this time at someone's request, didn't you?"

Iron Tuo Wang tensed inwardly. Damn it, this guy figured out that I'm connected to the young master? No, I need to act natural.

"Hm? No. I just came here to invest. I heard from CEO Lu that there was a good project, so I came to take a look. Whether I'll invest or how much I'll invest hasn't been decided yet."

Long Aotian felt even more stifled when he heard that.

Why the hell are you putting on an act with me? I'm reminding you!

"Mr. Tie." Long Aotian gritted his teeth, forcing each word through the gaps, his eyes wide as saucers as he kept prompting him. "You came here specifically to invest in the Amusement Park Project, correct?"

Iron Tuo Wang thought, Is this bastard sick?

Who does he think he's talking to?

Iron Tuo Wang raised an eyebrow. "Do you have hemorrhoids in your mouth? Why are you speaking through gritted teeth?"

Long Aotian's eyelids twitched furiously with rage.

Lu Chengwen said leisurely, "I've changed my mind. We have a Shantytown Renovation Project here. It's a good project and worth investing in."

"Huh? Really?" Iron Tuo Wang hurriedly said, "Good, good, good. Let's sign the contract immediately."

Long Aotian thought, Are you really such an idiot that you don't even use your brain?

Long Aotian walked up to him, braced both hands on the table, and stared at him. "Do you know what kind of project the shantytown project is? Do you know what the situation is inside it?"

"Nope."

"And you dare sign without knowing?"

"I do. As long as CEO Lu has good judgment, that's enough. I trust CEO Lu."

Long Aotian felt as though this bastard was about to give him a heart attack from anger. "Your original purpose for coming here was to sign the Amusement Park Project, not the shantytown project. The shantytown project won't make money."

Iron Tuo Wang was displeased. "Are you teaching me how to do things?"
