Eighteen Ghost Emperors of my ancestors, how dare you make me live in terror?

The Rolls-Royce came to a stop downstairs at the company building.

Lu Ye opened the car door, and Jiang Yingqing got out from the other side. She pulled her trench coat collar to cover her snow-white neck, which bore marks, and deliberately kept a few steps away from Lu Ye.

Lu moved to the right, and Jiang Yingqing moved two steps to the right, sticking and moving again, having a great time.

Finally, Jiang Yingqing said helplessly, "Can we wait a bit? I haven't decided when to announce it yet."

"Announce Xi Yao?"

"I'll announce it..." Jiang Yingqing paused for a moment.

However, Lu didn't deliberately cling to her anymore. After all, Jiang Yingqing was the company president, and she always maintained a cold and aloof image in the company. If she suddenly showed a submissive and dependent demeanor, it would affect her prestige in front of the employees.

I must say, office romances are quite interesting.

Upon arriving at the lobby, Lu Ye decided against sharing an elevator with the other passengers and instead squeezed into Jiang Yingqing's private elevator, going up to the 33rd floor before turning back down.

When I arrived at the company's office area, I noticed that the atmosphere was clearly a bit off.

An uneasy atmosphere seemed to permeate the entire office.

"Team leader, you've finally arrived." Lao Da came over when he saw Lu coming to work.

"What's wrong?" Lu Ye went to refill the thermos with water.

"The client company rejected our bid." Old Da's face was pale, his eyes full of worry, and he said in a low voice, "They sent out a notice last night saying that our proposal was not compliant and we were kicked out of the competition."

Lu Ye remained calm and collected: "Who said that?"

"The department manager hasn't officially announced the news yet, but many people have already sensed it."

Lu Ye looked up at the manager's office. The department manager was standing in front of the glass with a coffee in his hand, looking this way with a clear sneer on his face.

Lu casually flicked the middle finger back.

"Damn it, they were calling us brothers at the dinner table last night, but they turned their backs on us the moment they turned around. What the hell was going on last night?" Old Da cursed.

"What happened last night is a top company secret; of course you don't have the authority to not know."

Lu patted him on the shoulder, then turned around and looked again.

Wang Chao sat upright at his workstation, wiping his straight-pointed kitchen knife with a white cloth.

"What are you doing now?"

"Wait for the expulsion notice." Wang Chao wiped the knife carefully, his face solemn. "After being expelled, I expect to encounter the most severe and bizarre attack. Go out and fight. If you can survive until the dungeon ends, you'll leave alive; if not, you'll die."

Sensing a strange killing intent, Lao Da shrank back and took half a step back.

"Don't worry, you won't get expelled. You haven't had enough fun yet, give me your hand."

Wang Chao glanced at Lu Ye's outstretched hand, somewhat puzzled, but still extended his own hand as well.

As the two hands crossed, a faint black light flashed.

When Wang Chao noticed the huge sum of money that Lu Ye had "put" into his storage space, his pupils shrank sharply.

It was an amount he had never seen before.

"Aren't you afraid I'll run off with this money?" Wang Chao vaguely felt the power of a "tycoon" crushing him; a super tycoon.

"Once you leave the dungeon, you'll be at the academy. If you dare to run away with my money, I'll beat you out in front of the entire academy when we get out."

Lu also warned without any politeness that he had just given Wang Chao a full million in cash, or rather, after Wang Chao had spent quite a bit, he still had more than 900,000 left.

This is money condensed from ghostly energy. The monsters can absorb the pure ghostly energy from it. If Lu wanted, he could use this 900,000 to buy the life of any monster in the monster dungeon without having to lift a finger.

"Have Lao Da take you to that client company, and then buy it," Lu Ye said casually. "Spend it however you like."

"you......."

Wang Chao took a deep breath, hesitated for a moment, but finally stood up and led Lao Da out of the office.

It wasn't until I got downstairs that I couldn't help but chuckle bitterly, "So this is how you beat the weird dungeon."

After sending the two away to run errands, Lu Ye got bored again and sat at his workstation with his legs crossed, opening a game.

I just started a game when a message popped up on my computer.

"Come to my office."

It's the CEO calling.

Lu Ye got up and walked towards the elevator lobby, where he met the department manager.

"What did you send those two employees out to do?"

"If you're so bored, go clean the toilet instead of asking questions you shouldn't be asking."

"you!"

The department manager's eyes were sinister and red. His gaze inadvertently swept over Lu Ye's neck and he saw a faint hickey and a few nail marks. He was stunned for a moment.

However, I didn't think too much about it and just snorted coldly.

"The news that the client's project has fallen through will definitely be announced today. You won't be able to keep this up for long. After you're fired by General Manager Jiang, I'll personally kick you out."

"Bye~"

Lu also pushed past the department manager and stepped into the elevator.

Fire him? Sorry, we can't fire him.

The CEO is already his.

.........

Upon arriving at the 33rd floor, the entire floor was occupied only by the CEO; no one else in the company was authorized to come up except for those who called out to him.

Lu Ye looked around as if he were visiting his own home. When he entered the president's office, the president was staring intently at the computer screen and didn't even notice him coming.

Lu Ye wrapped his arms around the president's slender waist and gently lifted him up, then sat down in the president's office chair.

"Hmm........"

When Jiang Yingqing came to her senses, she found that Lu Ye had already sat in her seat, and she was sitting on Lu Ye's lap.

Seemingly not having fully accepted the fact that the two of them were already so intimate, she subconsciously struggled for a moment at first, but after seeing Lu Ye's profile so close to hers, she was momentarily bewildered, and then sat down peacefully.

"What are you looking at?" Lu Ye glanced at the dense data on the computer screen.

"I wanted to show you the financial statements. I used to handle them myself," Jiang Yingqing replied.

"No, I don't do work." Lu Ye refused outright, strongly recommending the top-notch ox-horse comrade, Lao Da, for work.

"Wasn't that previous project proposal something you and your team worked on together?"

"No, no, no, that was done by Lao Da. I didn't write a single word. I was only responsible for paying for it."

"How cunning." Jiang Yingqing laughed.

Lu Ye's eyes lit up instantly. "So you can laugh like that too. I thought I'd stopped laughing after being a CEO for so long."

Jiang Yingqing suppressed her beautiful smile and said seriously, "I'm not asking you to do any work, I just want you to see that this will be your company in the future."

"You want me to be your gigolo?" Lu Ye joked with a smile, but then noticed that Jiang Yingqing wasn't smiling this time. "What's wrong? Finances not looking good?"

"Yes." Jiang Yingqing nodded calmly. "It's not optimistic at all."

"Because we were targeted by several competing companies six months ago, we paid a heavy price, mortgaging almost all of our fixed assets to obtain cash flow. Now our leverage is at its limit. If we could have won that project from the client, we could have recovered our losses and weathered the crisis, but yesterday..."

Lu wasn't listening very attentively. "Just tell me what the worst that could happen to the company?"

Jiang Yingqing lowered her gaze, and her fingers stopped typing.

"At worst... we'll be liquidated in three days, and then I'll no longer be the CEO."

"Would you be unhappy if you weren't the CEO?" Lu Ye asked.

He couldn't be bothered to listen to the accounts, and he didn't really care how the company was doing. He only cared about whether his woman was in a good mood.

In matters of the heart, Lu is exceptionally devoted.

It's not about quantity, it's about quality.

Once you've slept with someone, they're one of us. He didn't just say that casually. He didn't care what others did; his own people had to be happy.

"It's not that I'm unhappy, it's that I feel... very disappointed and frustrated." Jiang Yingqing's tone was somewhat complicated. "After all, it's a company I built from scratch, and it's my life's work. I don't want to watch it go down the drain like this, and I also really want to prove that I can actually do it."

"Then let's not let it all go to waste. You can continue being your strong woman." Lu also leaned closer.

Jiang Yingqing gently kissed his large lips, "But..."

"No buts."

Looking at the usually aloof CEO who rarely showed signs of frustration and heartbreak, Lu Ye felt the energy he had been building up for five or six hours was stirring within him, and he had a strong feeling that he might actually get pregnant.

So the hand that was on the black-stockinged legs moved upwards. Jiang Yingqing pushed twice but couldn't move it, so she let it go. However, she still weakly tried to resist at the end.

"No...this is the office."

"That's exactly what I need – an office."
