From rejecting the beautiful female CEO to becoming extremely powerful

After hurriedly shoveling down a few mouthfuls of rice, Lu Yunzhou put down his chopsticks and rushed to the nearest bank.

After queuing at the counter for about ten minutes, 500,000 yuan was transferred from the check into Ye Churan's card. The moment the receipt was printed, her phone vibrated.

Three words appeared on the screen: Teacher Ye.

Lu Yunzhou answered the phone, but before he could even say hello, a voice on the other end bombarded him with questions, urgent and panicked: "Yunzhou! Where did you get 500,000? What's the source of this money? Don't make any mistakes!"

Lu Yunzhou stood on the steps at the bank entrance, a slight smile playing on his lips: "Teacher Ye, please don't worry, this money is perfectly legitimate."

"I helped someone today, and they insisted on giving me 500,000 yuan as a reward. I tried to refuse for a long time, but I couldn't."

"Take this money first and pay for Teacher Xu's grave. Keep the remaining 300,000 yuan for yourself. Don't deprive yourself."

As soon as he finished speaking, a suppressed sob came through the receiver.

Lu Yunzhou panicked and quickly said, "Teacher Ye, why are you crying? This is a good thing..."

"No... How can I spend your money?"

Ye Churan's voice was muffled and nasal.

"Teacher Ye, it's no fun for you to be so formal with me."

Lu Yunzhou's tone turned serious, and he spoke slowly and deliberately, "Back then, I was almost expelled. It was you who helped me keep my student status and found a way for me to join the army."

"When I was going through the toughest time, you were the one who helped me out. Now that I'm financially better off, I can't bear to refuse this money."

There was a long silence on the other end of the phone.

When Ye Churan's voice came through again, it was choked with sobs and a little loosened: "Then...then I'll use it for Teacher Xu's sake for now. Would you like to come over for dinner tonight? I'll cook you a few dishes."

"No problem, I'll be there on time."

Lu Yunzhou answered decisively.

Less than half a minute after I hung up, my phone rang again.

Caller ID: Su Qingwan.

Lu Yunzhou took a breath and pressed the answer button. Before he could even call out, a voice came from the other end, both charming and languid, with a natural allure.

"You heartless bastard, are you inseparable from your new wife? You don't even answer my calls."

Lu Yunzhou felt a chill run down his spine: "President Su, please don't tease me. There's no way there could be anything between us."

"Have you gotten your marriage certificate?"

"I've received it."

"Feng Qianyi's face isn't bad, is it? Have you ever had any designs on her?"

Su Qingwan laughed, her voice drawn out with a rising tone at the end, like a cat's paw scratching at someone's heart.

Lu Yunzhou gritted his teeth to steady his breathing: "President Su is joking. With President Feng's status, how could a mere errand boy like me be worthy of her?"

He dared not say it. He had long heard of Feng Qianyi's reputation outside. Getting the marriage certificate was already out of desperation. He didn't have the guts to go any further.

Su Qingwan's smile faded.

His tone suddenly turned cold, like a bucket of water being poured over his head: "It's good that you've gotten the marriage certificate. Some things are best left unsaid; you shouldn't have asked the questions you should have asked, or interfered with the things you should have interfered with. Do you understand?"

Lu Yunzhou knew exactly what was going on.

She was afraid that if she pressed him for details about the marriage, she would shut him up beforehand.

"Don't worry, Mr. Su, I won't touch anything I shouldn't."

"That's more like it."

Su Qingwan's tone softened again, with a smile, "Those who are obedient will be rewarded at any time."

Lu Yunzhou's mind was uncontrollably filled with images of last night in the bedroom, and his Adam's apple bobbed.

"Here, let me show you something."

A message popped up on WeChat, containing a picture.

He almost opened it by some strange twist of fate.

There is a pair of legs on the screen.

From ankle to thigh, black lace stockings clung to her body, the lace trim accentuating the top of her thighs, and her toes rested on patent leather stilettos.

Lu Yunzhou felt his blood rush to his head, and his ears burned intensely.

Su Qingwan's voice drifted over at that moment, breathy and soft, both sweet and sticky: "Come over tonight, will you wear this to keep me company?"

"Gulp."

His Adam's apple bobbed, he ground his teeth, and fiercely turned his gaze away from the screen.

I promised Teacher Ye I'd go out for dinner tonight, so I can't skip it.

"Mr. Su, something came up tonight and I can't get away. Could we reschedule for another day?"

"roll."

One word came through, and the call was cut off.

The busy tone continued to ring. Lu Yunzhou sighed, opened the photo, long-pressed it, deleted it, and emptied the recycle bin.

Keeping this kind of thing on your phone will eventually cause a major incident.

"Let's help Teacher Ye get Teacher Xu's matter settled first."

He drafted a message and sent it over, confirming the time and place.

More than an hour later.

The taxi stopped in front of a cemetery company in the suburbs.

Lu Yunzhou got out of the car and immediately saw Ye Churan waiting by the roadside.

She wasn't wearing makeup, and her hair was casually draped over her shoulders. A gust of wind gently brushed the ends of her hair against her collarbone.

She wore a plain white dress, the hem of which fell below her knees, and a pair of mid-heeled sandals. Standing there, she looked as clean and tidy as a painting.

"Teacher Ye!"

Lu Yunzhou walked over quickly.

Ye Churan turned around, saw him, her eyebrows curved, and a smile spread across her face: "You've come."

"Hmm, have you eaten?"

"not yet."

She shook her head. "I'm thinking of finishing the lease renewal first, and then we can eat together later."

"Come on, I'll go in with you."

The two walked into the business hall side by side.

The room was empty, with only a few salespeople sitting around, each busy with their own things, and the atmosphere was rather quiet.

When Lu Yunzhou and Ye Churan entered, the female sales clerk glanced at them but didn't react much. However, several men stared intently at Ye Churan for several seconds before looking away.

Lu Yunzhou walked to the nearest workstation and said, "Hello, we're here to renew our cemetery plot lease. Could you please process this for us?"

The salesperson, head down, tapping on his phone screen without even lifting his eyelids, mumbled, "It's time to go home. Come back this afternoon."

Lu Yunzhou frowned: "It's only eleven o'clock, why are you off work already? What time do you all leave?"

Just then, a sound effect of a game failure came from the person's phone.

His face darkened, and he slammed his phone on the table. He abruptly looked up and yelled at Lu Yunzhou, "I said I'm off work! Are you deaf or something? Can't you understand?"

Ye Churan stood to the side, her voice laced with suppressed anger: "Comrade, what kind of attitude is this? We're here to conduct business normally, how can you talk to people like that?"

The salesperson tilted her head, glanced at Ye Churan from head to toe, and sneered, "Sister, are you hard of hearing? I said come this afternoon, why all the nonsense?"

Lu Yunzhou took a step forward, lowered his gaze, and stared at the person's name tag for two seconds.

"Your name is Zhang Lei, right?"

His voice wasn't loud, but every word carried weight: "I'll ask one more time, is it possible to do it now?"

Zhang Lei leaned back in his chair, legs crossed, his face full of impatience: "Are you threatening me? Do you know where you are?"

"Our director drinks with people from the funeral bureau and sits at the same table. You can file a complaint all you want, no one will listen to you even if you file it to the highest heaven."

Ye Churan tugged at Lu Yunzhou's sleeve and said softly, "Yunzhou, let's forget it, we'll come back this afternoon."

Lu Yunzhou didn't move.

He stared at Zhang Lei's smug face, suppressing the anger in his chest, his fists clenched tightly in his pockets.

It's not that we can't beat this kind of guy, it's just not worth it.

He took a deep breath and turned to scan the hall.

In the corner sat an older female salesperson, who kept her head down and drank tea without saying a word. There was a small sign on the table that read "Duty Team Leader".

Lu Yunzhou walked straight over, showed the transfer record on his phone, and said calmly, "Hello, we're here to renew our ten-year cemetery plot lease. The payment is ready. Could you please process it for us?"

The saleswoman looked up at the numbers on her phone screen, then at Ye Churan behind Lu Yunzhou, put down her teacup, and stood up: "Come with me, sit here."

Zhang Lei muttered something behind him, but Lu Yunzhou didn't turn around.

Ye Churan followed beside him and whispered, "Thank you."

"No need to thank me, it's nothing."

Lu Yunzhou pulled out a chair for her to sit down first, while he stood beside her, his gaze fixed on the quiet cemetery outside the window.

Teacher Xu's matter can be resolved today.

As for the remaining people and accounts, we'll deal with them slowly.
