Campus Ace Girl

Chapter 1057 - 1056: Uncle, Don’t I Have the Final Say?

Wang Kefu was immediately displeased, but he still put on a front like a big wild wolf, trying to please him: "Actually, everyone is free now."He said with a tinge of bitterness, "She has also found her true love."

Lu Heng sneered, "Then I should congratulate you."

Wang Kefu’s mouth twitched, and for a moment he didn’t know what to say. He felt somewhat resentful too; while he didn’t think it was wrong to leave his wife, his wife running off with the family driver was another matter.

He was upset but didn’t dare confront Lu Heng, feeling genuinely miserable. Lu Heng looked at him and said faintly, "By the way, Mr. Wang, are you still in charge of things at the company?"

Wang Kefu’s heart skipped a beat, thinking a chance to make money had come, so he promptly patted his chest: "Of course I’m still in charge; this company’s surname is Wang."

Lu Heng chuckled softly, "I thought it was Gu."

That left Wang Kefu quite embarrassed, his face turning pale. After a long pause, he finally said, "Whatever it is, Dr. Lu, just say it. For Wanqing’s sake, I’ll do whatever I can for you. Even if I can’t, I’ll make it happen for you."

In response to his bold declaration, Lu Heng put down his cup, his graceful demeanor and long, beautiful fingers momentarily dazzling Wang Kefu. He thought to himself: This overseas-returned scholar is as handsome as a gigolo. Though he always maintains a serious face, his look is truly captivating. In the past, he would outperform any stage actors. But Wang Kefu, who doesn’t mind either way, became somewhat entranced as he watched.

Rich people, more or less, always have some flaws.

Lu Heng glanced up, seeing his entranced look. Being wealthy himself, he was no stranger to such nuances, but he wasn’t angry; he just smiled faintly, "Really? Then we’ll see if Mr. Wang can handle this matter."

That smile of his almost seemed to cast a spell on Wang Kefu, who eagerly said, "Please, Dr. Lu, go ahead."

Lu Heng then casually stated his request. Upon hearing it, Wang Kefu was dumbfounded and remained silent for quite a while.

"What, Mr. Wang can’t handle it?" Lu Heng sat sideways, picked up the cup, and sipped the water. His posture was graceful, and after drinking, his lips were very moist.

Wang Kefu stared at him for several seconds before swallowing and reluctantly saying, "This matter... I need to go back and discuss it with the old man."

Lu Heng didn’t linger, setting down his cup and standing up, very calmly saying, "Then I’ll wait for your good news, Mr. Wang."

When Lu Heng reached the door, Wang Kefu panicked, rushing forward to grab his arm: "Dr. Lu, leaving already?"

Lu Heng turned his head, his noble face expressionless but increasingly captivating. Wang Kefu couldn’t help but stare, his voice somewhat dazed, "Aren’t we having a meal together?"

With a height of about 185 cm, Lu Heng was a full ten centimeters taller than Wang Kefu. Leaning forward slightly made him seem even closer, "You want to have a meal with me?"

Wang Kefu nodded.

Lu Heng chuckled softly, stepping back, "Invite Little Gu along, and I’ll dine with you."

Wang Kefu came to his senses, "Dr. Lu, you don’t... you don’t fancy Anxi, do you?"

Lu Heng gave him a look, "Is that not allowed?"

Wang Kefu quickly shook his head, "No, it’s not that, but Anxi is married."

He chuckled, "Xichen seems gentle, but he’s not easy to mess with. I heard his skills are even better than Anxi’s."

Lu Heng chuckled again, raising his injured hand, looking at it without saying anything to Wang Kefu, and left. Wang Kefu, thinking about the potential benefits, eagerly said, "Alright, alright, I’ll find an opportunity to get Anxi out."

Lu Heng turned his head to look at him.

Wang Kefu shamelessly asked, "How will Dr. Lu thank me then?"

Lu Heng’s eyes glinted with cold light, but his face showed a slight smile: "How would you like me to thank you?"

Under the scrutiny of such eyes, Wang Kefu dared not look any longer, awkwardly laughing, "Just, if Dr. Lu has any business in the future, consider me."

Lu Heng still wore that subtle smile, now with a hint of nonchalance, "I thought you might have other requests."

Gathering his courage, Wang Kefu wanted to say something, but Lu Heng had already walked past him and out. Once he left and the place quieted down, Wang Kefu shivered, the brief moment feeling like a dream.

He walked to the sofa, sat down, picked up the tea, and slowly drank it. After finishing, he headed to Gu Anxi’s office. Gu Anxi was busy, and when he pushed open the door, Secretary Tang immediately stood up, "Mr. Wang."

Gu Anxi looked up, then smiled, "Uncle, do you need something?"

Wang Kefu glanced at Secretary Tang, and Gu Anxi understood, "Secretary Tang, please step out for a moment."

Secretary Tang glanced at Mr. Wang. Mr. Wang wasn’t interested in her anymore, "I have something to discuss with your Little Gu."

Secretary Tang smiled, guessing what was up, then sensibly left.

Once the door closed, Gu Anxi closed her notebook and looked up, "What’s the matter, all secretive? You’re not going to ask me to speak to Grandpa for you again, are you? Didn’t you bring Shen Wanqing back, and now there’s a child on the way; just wait for it to be born."

Mentioning Shen Wanqing at this time, Wang Kefu wasn’t enthusiastic. Firstly, his wife ran off with the driver last night. Secondly, the old man gave him a hard time in the evening. Thirdly, later, Shen Wanqing cried to him for a long time, upsetting him. Alone in bed at night, he couldn’t help but think of the carefree days before.

Back then, although he had a wife, she turned a blind eye. But being with Shen Wanqing, though sweet, she was quite jealous. He hadn’t gone out partying and drinking for a long time. Thinking of the exciting past, he felt that what he had now might not be good. But things had come to this point, and there was nothing more he could do.

Wang Kefu sighed, then thought for a moment before saying, "Anxi, uncle has something to ask of you. You’re in charge of big and small matters at the company now, aren’t you? Uncle now has brought a large business deal to the company; it’s up to you whether you want to do it."

When Gu Anxi heard this, she knew what was going on. Leaning back in her chair, she casually turned: "Did Lu Heng talk to you?"

On the sofa, Wang Kefu shifted closer, patting his thigh, "I knew you were sensible."

Gu Anxi smiled, "Uncle, wait until I agree before you praise me."

"I know you’re sharp and capable. You wouldn’t pass up benefits handed to you, right?" Wang Kefu grinned, his face full of anticipation and seeking praise.

Seeing his expression, Gu Anxi felt something was off. Her uncle was greedy and a bit foolish, true, but he was always out drinking and partying instead of focusing on work. Why such enthusiasm now?

Of course, Wang Kefu’s dark thoughts were impossible for her to imagine without witnessing it in person. After pondering for a moment, she said, "You should know Lu Heng approached me, and I didn’t agree."

Wang Kefu leaned closer, showing a number with his fingers: "The Lu Family has relented and is willing to pay this amount."

He indicated five, which was fifty billion, the amount Gu Anxi had requested. Wang Kefu felt mixed about it. Fifty billion—it would take several generations for their Wang Family to earn that amount. But this girl, Anxi, not only accomplished it easily but also ignored others. He admired her yet harbored jealousy.

After hearing him, Gu Anxi smiled faintly, "I don’t want to sign this contract now. I have use for those factories and equipment."

Wang Kefu leaned forward, whispering, "Anxi, that’s not right; this is Wang Family’s property—50 billion. It’s our Wang Family’s loss."

Gu Anxi retorted, "Isn’t this my property, Uncle? Don’t I have the final say?"
