Mrs. Lu loves you to death

Chapter 487

After leaving the dinner party, Chen Qi went directly to Gao Zheng's villa area.

When Gao Zheng came downstairs with the beautiful woman in his arms, he saw Chen Qi sitting in the living room drinking tea.

"What's wrong? Weren't you having dinner with the Lu family's son tonight? Come over sometime."

"I just finished talking to you and thought I'd come over for some tea."

Gao Zheng patted the beautiful woman's buttocks. "Good girl, come upstairs and wait for me."

The beautiful woman obediently kissed him and then went upstairs.

Until no one is in the living room

Gao Zheng sat down

Chen Qi poured him tea

"Director Gao, aren't you giving Lu Tingchuan too much credit? Tonight, he seemed just so-so. Rumor has it that he's incredibly good to his wife, but tonight, following your instructions, I repeatedly made sarcastic remarks to her, and he didn't react at all."

Gao Zheng stared at the tea in front of him, his eyes lost in thought.

Seeing this, Chen Qi dared not say anything more.

About five minutes later

"Even without the old man, the Lu family's other members are still very powerful. They are not people we can easily underestimate. Don't you know why I asked you to do this tonight? Let's wait and see. Originally, I was thinking of having the Lu family take over the Haidong project and then strike at their influence in China. That way, it would be easier for us to deal with Xie Yun secretly. After all, that guy has been hiding abroad, and we haven't even had a chance to make a move. Now that he's back, if he wins over the Chen family, the Lu family, and the Ye family, our actions will be even more difficult. But we don't need to worry too much. Business rivalry is an age-old principle. Besides..." I owe my current position entirely to the old man's promotion. Not only are there many of his people on my side, but many of his people are also on my side. So, let's just wait and see, like slowly playing the game. The Chen family is no longer a threat. Chen Yong and Chen Yonggang haven't dealt with this kind of thing for years. To avoid trouble, as long as the Chen family doesn't make a move, we should just ignore them. Xie Yungang is back and riding high right now; it's not a good time for us to act. Let's wait and see; there will always be an opportunity. Aren't they still eyeing us from across the strait? Let's find a way to send a message over there and urge them to act faster.”

Chen Qi, however, did not think so.

At the dinner party, when he mentioned Chen Zhiyu, Lu Tingchuan's gaze clearly indicated that she wasn't someone they could win over. Moreover, these four families had already formed a circle because of Chen Zhiyu; any move she made would have far-reaching consequences. No one in that position was foolish. If he had to choose, he would rather reach out to the Ye family first, since the Ye family and the Chen family had a more distant relationship.

After leaving the villa, Chen Qi's eyelids kept twitching, and he felt vaguely uneasy.

Driver Lao Liu noticed that he looked unwell.

"Director Chen, are you alright?"

"Hmm," he rubbed his temples. "Tomorrow, have Madam arrange for Chen Zhiyu to go shopping. You arrange for someone to follow Lu Tingchuan and his wife. I want to be the first to know all their whereabouts."

"Understood. Are you going back to your apartment or the old house tonight?"

"Let's go back to the apartment. Where's the young master? What has he been up to lately?"

"The young master has gone abroad. He said he received an invitation to a seminar, and he takes it very seriously. He probably won't be back for another two weeks."

Chen Qi thought for a moment, "Things haven't been peaceful in China lately. Gao Zheng has been making moves. It's safer for him to stay abroad than in China. Talk to Madam and let her talk to him."

Chen Qi doted on this son immensely. Aside from his success, he was obedient from a young age and always brought him honor in every way. This was one of the reasons he didn't want a second child; otherwise, he probably would have had countless illegitimate children. After all, it doesn't matter whose womb a good seed comes from.
