The Domineering Chief Dotes on His Wife

Chapter 739 This is not the Civil Affairs Bureau (Lu Jingchuan & Yan Liluo)

At nine o'clock in the morning, Yan Lilu arrived at the company on time. Zuo Meng had contacted her by phone last night. It turned out that the person in charge of the Hengtian project had been changed. Zuo Meng did not say who the person in charge was, but only said that the person in charge would come to Yan's company in person this morning to discuss the specific details of the project.

Lu Jingshen personally stated that their cooperation agreement had ended, which meant that her words and actions were no longer restricted. Therefore, she had taken off her wig and returned to her usual dashing style.

As soon as Yan Liluo arrived at the office, she received a phone call.

The visa application I submitted a while ago has been under review, and I was told to wait for notification. Today, the visa processing staff called to inform me that my visa application was not approved.

"Hello, could you please tell me why I didn't pass?"

"The personal information you provided is incorrect, so we cannot approve it at this time. Please apply again in six months."

Yan Lilu was on the phone when Xiao Zhou knocked on the door first, saying he had something to report.

After Yan Liluo ended the call, Xiao Zhou walked into the office. "President Yan, the person in charge of the Hengtian project has arrived. I have arranged for him to be in the meeting room."

"Okay, I'll go over immediately."

After finishing his report, Xiao Zhou didn't leave. He looked out of the office, then walked up to Yan Liluo and whispered, "President Yan, the person in charge of the Hengtian project is none other than Manager Lu from Dingsheng..."

"Who did you say is in charge of the Hengtian project?" Yan Lilu thought she had misheard.

"It's Manager Lu."

Xiao Zhou also knew that Lu Jingchuan and Yan Liluo didn't get along, so he told Yan Liluo about it beforehand.

Thinking that her power struggle with Lu Jingshen was over, she would be safe and sound. But Yan Liluo suddenly realized that her power struggle with Lu Jingchuan was not over yet, and Lu Jingchuan might be even harder to get rid of than Lu Jingshen.

Yan Liluo still gritted her teeth and took the letter of intent into the meeting room.

Lu Jingchuan's gaze never wavered from the moment Yan Liluo entered. How could someone with hair as short as a man's, a cold face without a trace of a smile, and even dressed in dark colors, be so captivating?

If he hadn't known beforehand, who would have mistaken her for a woman? He couldn't tell the gender at first, and it wasn't his fault at all. If this woman hadn't deliberately dressed up, how could he have been deceived!

A heartfelt apology and a sincere kneeling to admit his mistakes led to the restoration of his assets. Lu Jingchuan also took the initiative to shoulder the heavy responsibility of Shengshi once again.

Now that Shengshi is completely under his control, Zuo Meng naturally became his special assistant, so in addition to Lu Jingchuan, Zuo Meng was also in the reception room.

Before entering the reception room, Yan Liluo saw Zuo Meng and felt slightly relieved, since Lu Jingchuan wouldn't have brought anyone with him if he were looking for trouble.

Just as Yan Liluo sat down, Lu Jingchuan gave Zuo Meng a look. Knowing this in advance, Zuo Meng got up and left the reception room, closing the door behind him.

Yan Lilu looked towards the door.

"Now that there's no one else around, let's do the math."

Yan Liluo stood up. "Since this isn't business, I'll excuse myself."

“If you walk out of this door now, don’t blame me for not warning you. Yan’s family will be responsible for all breaches of contract related to Hengtian’s project.”

Lu Jingchuan remained seated and continued, "There's something I need to tell you. I'm not only now in charge of the Hengtian project, but I also have complete control over all the projects that Yan's Group is collaborating on with Shengshi Group."

“I have a business relationship with Lu Jingshen. If you’re going to use that to threaten me, you’re wasting your time.”

Lu Jingchuan's lips curved into a smile, "What does your cooperation with my brother have to do with me? Besides, I'm in charge of Shengshi now."

Yan Lilu frowned slightly. She still didn't quite believe what Lu Jingchuan said. After all, the two brothers didn't get along, and given Lu Jingchuan's personality, it was impossible for him to take over the management of Shengshi.

"You had countless opportunities to explain your gender, but you refused to say anything. How am I supposed to settle this score with you?"

"I'm not being unreasonable. As long as you apologize to me now and say that you deliberately concealed it, I can let bygones be bygones."

She clenched her fist slightly at the side of her pants, and inhaled almost imperceptibly. "I'm sorry, I really did it on purpose," she said, her tone conciliatory.

Lu Jingchuan showed a satisfied expression, stood up, and handed a copy of the agreement to Yan Liluo. "Since you admit that you did it on purpose, then sign it. I will not make things difficult for you or the Yan family in the future."

“Project signing requires the presence of all three parties, and I will not sign now.”

"You might as well take a closer look at what the agreement is." Lu Jingchuan sat down again.

Yan Liluo picked up the agreement and began to read it.

The contents of the agreement have absolutely no connection to the Hengtian project. This agreement is a marriage agreement, and Party A, Lu Jingchuan, has already signed it.

“This isn’t the Civil Affairs Bureau, and our company can’t handle this business.” Yan Liluo immediately put down the agreement.

"You must have misunderstood. I asked you to sign."

"Do you need another woman to get married?"

"Although you look like a man, you give me a different feeling than other people..."

Yan Liluo didn't listen any further and walked out of the reception room.

"..."

Lu Jingchuan, left alone in the meeting room, did not show any displeasure. He calmly picked up the agreement and looked at it again and again, his eyes gradually becoming more determined.

Seeing Yan Lilu walk out of the meeting room with a somber expression, Xiao Zhou stepped forward and asked with concern, "President Yan, are you alright?"

"fine."

"President Huo is here too. I asked him to wait in your office first."

Yan Liluo stopped in her tracks. "What brings him here?"

"do not know."

Lu Jingchuan walked out and stood not far behind Yan Liluo. He seemed to whisper a few words to Zuo Meng, who then took the agreement from earlier.

Yan Lilu was talking to Xiao Zhou over there.

Huo Xiangtian, who was waiting in his office, spotted Yan Liluo and walked out of his office.

The two pairs of eyes, locked in a fierce battle, clashed once more.

Just as Yan Liluo took a step towards Huo Xiangtian, Lu Jingchuan appeared beside her, and an extra arm appeared on her right shoulder.

"Please remove your hand immediately."

"We'll be an old married couple from now on, what's wrong with just putting your arm around someone's shoulder?" Lu Jingchuan said, but his domineering gaze was directed at Huo Xiangtian.

"An old married couple?" I don't know how he had the nerve to say something like that. Anyone who didn't know them would think they had a really good relationship.

Yan Lilu glanced downwards and stomped hard on Lu Jingchuan's foot.

Lu Jingchuan took a deep breath, tilted his head to one side so that no one could see him speak, and said in a low voice, "Very well, I won't forget the time you stomped on my foot so hard just now!"

"Don't blame me for not warning you if you don't let go."

Yan Liluo believed that Lu Jingchuan would restrain himself because of that kick just now.

Lu Jingchuan's personality is such that he is never threatened; the more he is threatened, the more arrogant he becomes.

Instead of letting go, Lu Jingchuan changed his arm around Huo Xiangtian's waist and asked, "Mr. Huo, what brings you to my fiancée this time?"

"I……"

Yan Liluo only managed to utter one word before Lu Jingchuan covered her mouth with his hand.

Yan Liluo was very suspicious. Was she giving Lu Jingchuan too much face?

"It's alright, I can say whatever I want." Lu Jingchuan said to Yan Lilu with a smile, ignoring her angry glare.

"Mr. Huo, if there's anything urgent, let's talk about it another day. We both have other things to do today."

Huo Xiangtian saw that Yan Liluo's eyes showed no sign of compromise, only coercion. He took two steps forward, but Lu Jingchuan gave him a look, and Zuo Meng stopped him.

"Mr. Huo, it's best not to disturb him."

Huo Xiangtian didn't take Zuo Meng seriously. He reached out and lifted Zuo Meng's hand, preparing to step over it.

"Mr. Huo, it's best not to get yourself into any more trouble at this time."

"Are you threatening me?" Huo Xiangtian's eyes were filled with coldness.

Huo Xiangqi was imposing, but Zuo Meng was a man who had seen many storms, and this imposing presence did not faze him.

"This is a friendly reminder to Mr. Huo."

Huo Xiangtian didn't take Zuo Meng's words to heart, nor did he value Zuo Meng at all, and simply ignored him.

By the time Huo Xiangtian caught up with her downstairs, Yan Liluo and Lu Jingchuan had already left in the same car.
