From rejecting the beautiful female CEO to becoming extremely powerful

Fengshan kicked over the coffee table.

The teacup rolled to the wall, shards littering the floor.

He clutched the winning bid notice for Nanwan Old Port tightly in his hand, with the four characters "Yuanchuan Construction" still sticking out.

He had already made arrangements, just waiting for the Golden Resources Project to win the bronze medal.

Who would have thought that Lu Yunzhou would discover the hidden magnet on the spot and force the project team to re-select it?

A project worth over a billion yuan just fell into the hands of a new company.

Fengshan slammed his hand on the table: "A retired driver dares to steal my project?"

Secretary Duan Wei closed the office door.

He had followed Fengshan for six years and knew that he couldn't persuade him at this point, so he could only help find a way to vent his anger.

The project has been made public, and Feng Qianyi publicly supported Lu Yunzhou.

If we try to forcibly take back the contract now, we won't be able to get past the internal hurdles within the group.

Duan Wei lowered his voice: "Let's put the project aside for now and get rid of the people doing the work."

Fengshan raised his head.

Yuanchuan had just been established, and the workers and equipment had not yet arrived.

Lu Yunzhou is both the boss and the person in charge.

If he gets injured and hospitalized, the project will definitely come to a standstill.

Duan Wei took out his phone and pulled up a document.

The Red Scales Society has recently taken on a lot of debt collection and demolition work in Sheng'an.

They don't ask why, they only care about money.

In the past, some people who owed money and didn't pay it back had both their legs broken the next day.

Fengshan gripped the winning bid notice tightly: "Don't let this cause a death, break one of his legs first."

Duan Wei nodded and noted it down.

Fengshan was still not satisfied and added another sentence.

"I want him to have to use crutches to get to the construction site from now on. I want Feng Qianyi to see for herself what kind of good-for-nothing she chose."

Duan Wei walked to the window and dialed a number that was not saved in his contacts.

A few minutes later, Lu Yunzhou's photo, license plate, and frequently visited locations were all sent to him.

The other party accepted the deposit but only gave a timeframe.

Get it done by tomorrow night.

Fengshan put his phone face down on the table and finally sat back down in his chair.

He was already waiting to see Lu Yunzhou end up in the hospital.

At nine o'clock in the evening, Lu Yunzhou arrived at the villa in the north of the city.

He paused for a moment as soon as the door opened.

Su Qingwan wasn't wearing her usual business attire.

The off-white loungewear dress clung to her waist, the hem falling below her knees, revealing two sections of her snow-white calves.

Her long hair was tied up at the back of her head with a wooden hairpin, which made her less imposing.

On the table were steamed fish, pork rib soup, and two kinds of green vegetables.

There was no wine nearby, only a purple clay teapot.

Su Qingwan leaned against the doorframe: "The message told me to wash myself clean, but you're too scared to come in?"

Lu Yunzhou looked away: "I'm here to borrow money, don't try to seduce me with those kinds of words."

He walked into the restaurant carrying the project contract and first scanned the doors and windows.

There were no bodyguards in the villa, and no footsteps were heard upstairs.

The more this happened, the less he dared to relax.

Su Qingwan had already prepared the loan agreement.

The amount is five million, with a term of three months, and the funds will be directly deposited into Yuanchuan Construction's company account.

Lu Yunzhou flipped to the additional terms: "Do I have to report every single expense to you?"

Su Qingwan pressed down on the agreement: "The money can be used for project procurement and workers' wages, but not a single penny can be touched for personal expenses."

This condition is not excessive.

Yuanchuan lacks start-up capital.

Equipment rental fees, design fees, worker insurance—all of these are waiting to be paid.

As long as the five million arrives, Cheng Ye's project can start tomorrow.

Lu Yunzhou signed his name.

Su Qingwan picked up her phone and immediately notified the finance department to release the loan.

In less than two minutes, Yuanchuan Company's payment information was sent to Lu Yunzhou's mobile phone.

Five million has already been deposited into the account.

The funding gap that had been weighing on Lu Yunzhou's shoulders has finally been filled.

Su Qingwan pushed the phone back: "I've paid, so just relax and have dinner with me tonight."

Lu Yunzhou picked up his chopsticks: "Let me make this clear first, I'm only here to eat."

Su Qingwan chuckled.

Last night in the study, this guy wasn't so well-behaved.

Now that they've got the money, they're putting on a businesslike act.

She served Lu Yunzhou a bowl of soup and poured some aged tea into his cup.

The tea soup is clear and bright in color. It is bitter at first taste, but a sweet aftertaste appears after a while.

Lu Yunzhou didn't eat, but drank half a cup of tea first.

Su Qingwan sat down next to him, and their knees touched briefly across the corner of the table.

Lu Yunzhou moved half a space to the side, and she moved closer to him.

She pushed the teapot over: "You took advantage of me last night, so you have to pay back tonight."

Lu Yunzhou gripped his teacup: "Five million at market interest rates, don't even think about taking anything else."

Su Qingwan stopped teasing him and instead asked about the operational arrangements for the old Beiling water plant.

Lu Yunzhou explained the structure of the pump house.

Su Qingwan was in charge of the four guards. She was responsible for seizing the opportunity when Xiao Sihai paused to breathe and directly breaking through his Qi Sea.

When it came to the details of the operation, he subconsciously circulated his inner energy and went through the process internally.

The flow of energy in the meridians was a beat slower.

Lu Yunzhou put down his teacup and pressed his palm against the edge of the table.

The second time he activated the "Creation Technique," the true energy had just entered his shoulders and arms when it immediately sank down.

There's something wrong with the tea.

A passage from the Shennong chapter suddenly came to mind.

Chenmai Powder.

This medicine is colorless and slightly bitter. When ordinary people drink it, they will only feel drowsy and sleepy, and they will not even notice anything unusual when they wake up.

However, once a martial artist circulates their qi, the medicinal properties will attach to their true qi and silently seep into their meridians.

The more times you circulate it, the faster the medicine takes effect. First, your fingertips will feel numb, then your limbs will feel weak, and finally even the true qi in your dantian will become sluggish.

The bitterness of the aged tea perfectly masked the medicinal taste.

No wonder Su Qingwan kept asking about the details of the operation and deliberately questioned several key points, forcing him to repeatedly deduce and analyze the situation.

He gripped the teacup tightly, but his knuckles felt weak; it turned out that from the moment he picked up the cup, he had already fallen into the trap.

Lu Yunzhou leaned on the table and stood up: "Su Qingwan, did you drug me?"

Su Qingwan reached out and caught him: "If I wanted to kill you, I wouldn't have waited until today."

Lu Yunzhou tried to push her away, but his right arm fell down halfway up.

The tables and chairs in front of me began to pile up, and my legs could no longer support my body.

Su Qingwan put her arm around his shoulder and helped him walk towards the study.

The five million was indeed given.

The loan agreement is also genuine.

But this meal was planned from the moment he walked in.

Lu Yunzhou bit his tongue, forcing himself to stay awake.

Sinking Powder only suppresses the meridians, it cannot damage the foundation.

But he can't even hold a silver needle steady now, let alone resist.

Su Qingwan supported his waist: "You couldn't even defend yourself against a cup of tea, yet you want to kill Xiao Sihai?"

After she finished speaking, she took the phone and silver needles from Lu Yunzhou's pocket.

A row of bookshelves is placed on the inside of the study.

Su Qingwan pressed the hidden clasp on the third shelf, and the heavy bookshelf slid to the sides, revealing a staircase leading to the ground.

One red light after another lit up.

The sound of chains dragging across the ground came from below, mixed with heavy breathing.

Su Qingwan helped him up the steps: "I don't want your life, I want you to undergo real training first."

Lu Yunzhou's eyelids grew heavier and heavier.

Before his consciousness was severed, he finally understood.

This five million was merely bait that Su Qingwan had laid out on the table.
