From rejecting the beautiful female CEO to becoming extremely powerful

After dinner began, Xiao Sihai personally took the seat of honor.

Su Qingwan and Mu Qingying sat on either side, while Lu Yunzhou was seated next to Mu Qingying.

As soon as the butler poured the wine, Xiao Sihai spoke.

"Qingying has been in Sheng'an for some time now. Besides the school and this manor, where else has she been?"

Mu Qingying picked up a piece of steamed fish: "The shopping mall, the university town, and I even went to the antique market a few days ago."

"That's only a few places."

Xiao Sihai raised his glass. "Sheng'an has developed rapidly in recent years. The port, logistics park, and commercial district have all changed. If you're going to be involved in Mu's business in the future, you'll need to familiarize yourself with it beforehand."

Mu Qingying raised her face: "Uncle Xiao, my dad hasn't let me join the company yet."

"It's only a matter of time."

Xiao Sihai turned to look at Lu Yunzhou.

"Yunzhou, you know Sheng'an well. Take some time to show Qingying around. We don't need to go to the scenic spots; focus on the port area and a few commercial parks."

Lu Yunzhou stopped using his chopsticks.

Yuanchuan Construction is just starting out, and business licenses, personnel, surveying, and safety assessments are all piling up in the last few days.

Xiao Sihai deliberately made him accompany Mu Qingying at this time, his purpose already laid bare.

Su Qingwan put down the soup spoon.

"He can't even manage his own company, and you want him to be Qingying's director?"

"Can the project really stop just because he's not here for half a day?"

Xiao Sihai poured himself half a glass of wine.

"Cheng Ye is in charge of the site, and Pang Wei is in charge of the accounts. Yun Zhou is there every day, but he can't help much. Accompanying Qing Ying to familiarize herself with Sheng An is a good opportunity to see how different companies operate."

Su Qingwan raised her chin: "You've arranged everything very thoroughly."

"What's wrong with young people having more contact with each other?"

The two stared at each other across the dining table for a moment.

Mu Qingying turned the cup around and suddenly turned to the side.

"Yunzhou, are you willing?"

She asked the question directly, and everyone at the table waited for Lu Yunzhou's answer.

Lu Yunzhou looked at her: "Where do you want to go?"

"Nanwan Old Port".

"Preliminary surveys are underway there, and the road is difficult to travel."

"You're preparing to take on an 800 million project, and I can't even see the site?"

"You can watch, but you have to follow instructions and can't leave my side."

Mu Qingying nodded: "Then it's settled. You can pick me up tomorrow."

Su Qingwan tightened her grip on the chopsticks, making a soft sound from the rim of the bowl.

"Miss Mu has a driver and bodyguards. Lu Yunzhou also has to do things for me."

"Aunt Qingwan, I only need to lend it to him for one day."

Mu Qingying pushed a plate of green vegetables in front of Lu Yunzhou.

"Besides, he just agreed to it; you can't go back on your word right now, can you?"

Su Qingwan stared at Lu Yunzhou for a while.

"He agreed so readily, why should I stop him?"

"President Su, my trip to Old Port is also for official business."

"Go wherever you want, you don't need to explain to me."

Su Qingwan picked up her wine glass and finished the wine.

Xiao Sihai smiled and smoothed things over: "It's a small matter, don't make it so serious. Yunzhou, leave the engineering work to the subordinates for now. Take good care of Qingying while she's in Sheng'an."

"it is good."

Lu Yunzhou agreed.

The meal didn't end until 8 PM.

Mu Qingying and Su Qingwan went upstairs to get their things.

As soon as Lu Yunzhou stepped out of the villa, Tiger Brother came up to him from the steps.

"Fourth Master wants you to wait for him in the car."

A black minivan was parked outside the courtyard, its door already open.

Lu Yunzhou sat in the back seat, and not long after, Xiao Sihai also got into the car.

The car door closed, the driver in the front seat got out of the car, and Tiger stood guard five meters away.

Xiao Sihai lit a cigar and took two puffs.

"How far have things progressed between you and Qingying?"

"College classmate".

"I'm asking how she treats you."

Lu Yunzhou leaned back in his chair: "What does Fourth Master want me to say?"

Xiao Sihai exhaled smoke and tapped him with the cigar in his hand.

"The way she looks at you doesn't lie. The day we met at the airport, she didn't even bother with Qingwan; she ran to find you first. Tonight, I asked you to keep her company, and she didn't refuse."

"Does Fourth Master want to set us up?"

"Go after her."

After uttering those two words, Lu Yunzhou raised his head.

Xiao Sihai took out a brown paper bag and placed it between the two of them.

"The Mu family selects partners in East China. Port warehousing, cold chain logistics, and commercial parks—any one of these projects is enough to sustain an ordinary company for ten years."

"Fourth Master has just learned about the Mu family's rules."

"Rules can block commercial materials, but they can't stop the people around you."

Xiao Sihai pushed the paper bag forward.

"Mu Qingying refuses to submit my documents. Once you become her boyfriend, she'll listen to you a little."

Lu Yunzhou didn't touch the paper bag.

"What if I can't catch up?"

"You didn't even try, how come you can't catch up?"

Xiao Sihai brushed off the cigarette ash.

"She likes you, that's your advantage. Take her out to dinner, accompany her to see projects, and give her some thoughtful gifts. I'll cover the expenses, the relationship is yours."

"You've given me the task of trading my feelings for the Mu family's project?"

Don't put it so harshly.

Xiao Sihai moved forward a little.

"A man can't climb the ladder with just his fists. If you're given an opportunity and you act all high and mighty, someone else will take it."

Lu Yunzhou opened the paper bag.

Inside was a blue fund card and a document detailing the Mu Group's project in Sheng'an.

The names, resumes, and itineraries of several key personnel were all marked.

Clearly, Xiao Sihai had been preparing for this for some time.

"This card is used to access an overseas fund account, and daily expenses are paid from there, so the club won't be able to be traced back to it."

Xiao Sihai lowered his voice.

"If you gain Qingying's trust, I'll give you three million at once. After the Mu's project is finalized, Yuanchuan Construction can participate in subcontracting. You'll also get a share of the club's profits from the partnership every year."

Lu Yunzhou flipped through the documents: "The requirements are not low."

"You're worth the price."

"What if Fourth Master were someone else?"

"Qingying may not give him the chance to get close."

Xiao Sihai stubbed out his cigar, and the smile on his face faded.

"Yunzhou, I'm giving you this opportunity because I'm doing you a favor. I'll only give you one chance. If you don't take it, I'll find someone else."

He paused for a moment after saying this.

"I can't control how anyone else approaches her. If trouble arises, the Mu family will only come after Sheng An."

These words already carried a warning.

Lu Yunzhou closed the documents.

Mu Qingying's identity is special, and Xiao Sihai doesn't dare to openly harm her, but he can send people to create encounters, arrange favors, and even use danger to gain her trust.

Refusing this job would only lead Mu Qingying into another scheme.

Lu Yunzhou picked up the fund card and put it in his pocket.

"I'll take this job."

Xiao Sihai smiled again: "I like working with smart people."

"However, I have my own pace. Fourth Master, don't send anyone to follow her, and don't touch anyone around her."

"Okay. I want the results; you can arrange the process."

The car door opened, and Lu Yunzhou got out with the documents in his hand.

After walking a few steps, he took out his phone and sent a message to Mu Qingying.

"I'll pick you up from school at nine tomorrow morning. Listen to me at the Old Port site, don't wander off."

The message came back quickly.

"Understood, Boss Lu."

Lu Yunzhou put away his phone and glanced back at the black minivan.

Xiao Sihai wanted to use him to bring Mu Qingying into the police force.

He would take this opportunity to stay by her side.
