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

Two hours later, Lu walked out of the office looking refreshed.

When I got down to the 32nd floor, I saw the department manager pacing anxiously in front of the elevator.

When Lu Ye came out, the first thing he asked was, "You spent two hours in the CEO's office?"

Lu Ye slapped the other person away, saying, "You dare say another swear word to me?"

The department manager began to emanate a ghostly aura, but when he suddenly saw two more crimson marks on Lu Ye's neck than before, he froze, caught in a deep internal struggle, and muttered to himself as if lost in thought.

"No way...no way...impossible."

Lu was in a good mood and too lazy to throw the department manager off the 32nd floor. He turned around and went back to his workstation to continue slacking off. He put on his headphones and ignored everyone.

At lunchtime, I slipped away to the 33rd floor and had lunch with the CEO, then took a short nap.

I dawdled back to the office when it was time to go to work in the afternoon.

Lu Ye then realized that the atmosphere in the office was off again.

It's not just wrong, it's absolutely outrageous.

The department manager stood in the center of the office, clutching a document in his hand, his eyes flashing with madness, spittle flying from his mouth.

"The project is canceled! Did you all hear that? The company's most important project was canceled yesterday, do you understand?!"

"This is the rejection notice sent back by Party A!"

The department manager slammed the document on the table, his face flushed.

"Why did the client reject the bid? Just because some people were arrogant and offended the client's leadership! Hundreds of people in the company are suffering because of them!"

Getting more and more excited, and just then noticing Lu Ye had returned, the department manager pointed and said, "If someone hadn't been acting so arrogantly, would Mr. Jia, the client, have such a bad impression of our company? Would he have left us no room for maneuver at all?"

Other employees gradually began to whisper among themselves.

More and more eyes turned to Lu Ye, some confused, some angry, and some joining in the commotion.

"Is that him? He offended the client when he had dinner with him last night."

"I heard that he almost got into a fight with Mr. Jia, the client."

"If that project failed, whose fault is it if not him?"

"If we lose this project, will the company be finished? What will we do then?"

There was much discussion and a ghostly atmosphere.

The department manager gave the company ample time to build up the atmosphere, and then deliberately spoke with regret: "The company is not doing very well right now. Without this project, we may have to lay off a large number of employees to save costs. Don't blame me for being heartless then. I want to protect you, but there's nothing I can do."

These words immediately made the atmosphere in the office even more tense.

Lu took off his headphones and looked at the department manager who was still standing there performing. Just as he was about to stand up, a "ding" sound came from the direction of the elevator.

Jiang Yingqing walked over, her gaze sweeping across the office area, and the buzzing discussion instantly subsided.

"What are you all standing here for?" The voice wasn't loud, but it was enough to make everyone lower their heads. "The company will handle the project. Get back to work."

The department manager wanted to speak, but Jiang Yingqing glanced at him and he swallowed his words.

The noise subsided temporarily as company employees went about their work, but their eyes kept glancing this way, and an atmosphere of unease and anxiety permeated the air.

The department manager stood there watching Jiang Yingqing turn and walk towards the elevator. His gaze fell downwards, and he clearly noticed that there was a tear in the president's right stocking near the knee, as if it had been accidentally snagged by something.

Moreover, the same hickeys were also hidden under the collar.

"Damn it..."

The department manager's gaze at Lu Ye was almost explosive.

"Don't worry, the news has already been released. Everyone knows the company is about to go bankrupt. Why hasn't he been fired yet? He's definitely going to be in trouble today!"

Gritting his teeth, the department manager returned to his office, looking forward to the fun time before leaving get off work.

........

There's still an hour until I'll be off work.

The department manager finally witnessed the scene he had been waiting for.

A commotion arose at the reception desk, followed by the rapid clatter of high heels and then the panicked voice of the HR woman: "Are you from the client company? Who...who are you looking for?"

"The client's people are here? Where are they?"

Before anyone else could react, the department manager rushed out of the office like a cat smelling fish.

As he passed Lu Ye, he no longer bothered to hide his laughter and burst out: "Hahaha, the client company's people are here to question you. Now let's see who can protect you!"

Without stopping, he went to greet them. When he saw who it was, he was even happier. It turned out to be the client's boss, Mr. Jia, who had personally brought his people over.

"Oh, Mr. Jia! You actually came in person? Our General Manager Jiang is on the floor above, shall I take you up there now?"

The department manager, beaming with enthusiasm, completely ignored the dazed look on General Manager Jia's face and the soaking wet clothes on his back. "Let's not look for General Manager Jiang yet, I'll look for..."

His eyes searched the office.

"I understand~" Seeing that they were looking for someone in the office area, the department manager immediately gave him a "I get it" look. "Looking for that arrogant guy from yesterday, right? His name is Lu Ye, he's sitting right there. Mr. Jia, let's go, I'll take you there!"

The department manager excitedly led the client's group to Lu Ye.

They discovered that Lu Ye was playing a game, with Wang Chao and Lao Da standing behind him like bodyguards.

"When did you two get back?" The department manager was a little puzzled, but now was not the time to worry about such trivial matters. Just as he was about to speak, he heard Lu Ye say without turning his head.

"Wait a minute, let me finish this game first."

"The client's leader came to see you, and you actually..." The department manager was about to start cursing when he was glared at fiercely by the client's person next to him.

He suddenly realized something was wrong; it seemed like this wasn't said to him, but rather to these clients?

So the group from Party A stood there quietly, waiting for Lu Ye to finish the game. No one said a word. During this time, Mr. Jia took out his handkerchief several times to wipe the sweat from his forehead.

"Victory!"

An exciting announcement rang out from the phone.

Lu Ye finally put down his phone, but didn't turn around, waiting for Wang Chao, who had returned first, to speak first.

"We went to their company, intending to carry out the acquisition as you suggested, but we were too late. It seems that their company has already been completely bought by someone else, including all shares, all subsidiaries, all project sites and assets, for a full ten million in cash."

"But even though we're not the ones paying, your name is on the list. What's going on?"

I thought one million in cash was enough, but I didn't expect there to be ten million in cash. And it wasn't Lu Ye who bought it, so why did he give him all the rights to the profits?

This guy is already this strong, could there be an even more powerful force behind him?

Wang Chao's gaze towards Lu Ye was filled with complex emotions.

The department manager, overhearing this, was utterly bewildered. What acquisition? What purchase? What million in unexpected money? How did it become ten million? Whose name is on the list?

"Um........"

Lu thought for a moment, then remembered that his grandmother had come by last night, and instantly knew what was going on.

There's nothing else to it; it must be the affection from the Ghost Emperor's ancestors.

"I understand, you don't need to worry about this."

After saying this, Lu Ye finally put down his phone, turned his chair around, and turned to face the group of clients behind him. He smiled and looked at Mr. Jia, the client who had tried to drug and knock out the president last night and take him away.

As the department manager stared wide-eyed, the powerful client, Mr. Jia, shuddered and forced an incredibly obsequious smile.

She bowed and scraped, and called out in a cloyingly sweet voice.

"Hello, Mr. Lu..."
