âYoung Uncle,â Xing Shu called out. She had no intention of getting into the car. She was not in the mood tonight.
Cheng Lang fiddled with the prayer beads on his wrist and said indifferently, âCome on.â
âIâm not getting in. If I get inâwith Young Uncleâs staminaâI wonât be able to walk.â Xing Shu deadpanned as she hugged the box. She wanted to create a promiscuous persona in front of Cheng Lang intentionally. Other than in bed, it was best if they did not have any other entanglements. Otherwise, she was worried that she would fall for him one day. Cheng Xingyang alone was enough to exhaust her; Cheng Lang was obviously deadlier than Cheng Xingyang. Anyway, Cheng Lang did not ask her if it was her first time during their dallianceâit could only mean that he did not care about this. They were both adults; there were some things that did not need to be said too clearly.
Cheng Lang raised his eyebrows slightly. The corners of his lips curled up slightly because of Xing Shuâs words. His gaze landed on the box in Xing Shuâs hand. His cold fingertips grabbed Xing Shuâs wrist and forcefully pulled her in. âResigning?â The box in her arms was too eye-catchingâit was impossible not to notice it.
Xing Shu did not struggle and leaned into Cheng Langâs arms. They had already slept togetherâthere was no need to pretend to be reserved. âYeah. Got kicked to the curb after outliving my usefulness.â
Xing Shu pretended to be aggrieved and lay on Cheng Langâs shoulder. Since she had resigned, she might as well give Cheng Xingyang another big gift and see how well he can take it. âYoung Uncle, the Cheng Corporation Group has so many businesses under its name. Can you manage them all? There are too many ways for people to line their pockets.â
Cheng Lang pinched Xing Shuâs chin with his fingers. He knew that there was a subtext in her words. âFor example?â
âYoung Uncle, did you notice a small building not far from the Cheng Corporation Group? It was specially built by Cheng Xingyang and the other directors for R&D1. It cost more than 100 million yuan, but Young Uncle probably did not sign the approval for this project when you were overseas, right? Thatâs because they broke down the total amount of investment into small sums, and every sum was just under the amount that did not require your approval. How much room do you think this secret operation has? How much money is embezzled?â Xing Shu smiled. She could only blame Cheng Xingyang for not paying attention to his work. Xing Shu was the one who followed up on many things, so she was very clear about these things.
Cheng Lang mentioned the company accounts on the first day he took over the reins of the company, but the corruption of the directors he caught was just a drop in the bucket. Xing Shu drew circles on Cheng Langâs tie with her fingers. âI went to that building to take a look. The moment I entered, I saw an antiqueâa blue and white porcelain vase that was worth more than 10 million yuan. Every chair inside was made of rosewood. The cutlery in the cabinet was all enamel. The carpet was a Persian carpet worth more than 100,000 yuan. Young Uncle, why do you think a R&D building is so luxurious?â
Cheng Lang looked at Xing Shu quietly. After a long time, he said to Jian Yaochuan in the front passenger seat, âGo and investigate.â A building that cost hundreds of millions of yuanâmost probably the secret lair of the directors for their vices. It was very well hidden indeed.
Xing Shuâs eyes curved into crescents. Once the secret of that building was exposed, Cheng Xingyang would be in hot water. The unhappiness of losing her job because of Cheng Xingyang was instantly thrown to the back of her mind. âYoung Uncle, that building holds a gathering every Friday. Cheng Xingyang calls that gathering âNight of Debaucheryâ. If you catch them then, theyâll definitely be caught red-handed.â Wasnât Cheng Xingyang waiting for her to apologize? Then she would use Cheng Langâs hand to destroy their secret lair.
Cheng Langâs finger landed on Xing Shuâs waist and he asked Jian Yaochuan, âDid you get that?â
Jian Yaochuan nodded respectfully and made several calls in preparation of this matter.
Cheng Langâs cold fingers touched the skin on Xing Shuâs waist, triggering a tiny jolt of electricity.
âWhen itâs done, what reward do you want?â Cheng Langâs voice was cold and indifferent, but not mean.
âReward?â Xing Shu softened her body and leaned languidly against Cheng Lang. Her curly eyelashes were slightly loweredâshe was undoubtedly seducing him, but charming at the same time.
Xing Shu was thinking about what reward she wanted when her cell phone rangâit was Hu Jie. She had probably suffered a setback with President Chen. After all, the contract was going to be signed tomorrow; they would definitely call President Chen in advance tonight to communicate. The communication must have not gone well.
Xing Shu rejected the call. Soon after, she received a message from Hu Jie.
