Chapter 175 - Interests First
"Immediately investigate! I want to know who is behind this rumor!" Yan Jiming's face darkened.
He never thought that the matter between him and Wu Yuxuan would be spread like this.
"Yes sir!" Seeing him so angry, the Assistant Zhou quickly retreated.
When Yan Jiming got angry, it was truly terrifying.
Seeing the pictures on the news, Yan Jiming was furious, he never expected things to turn out like this.
Although he and Wu Yuxuan often went back home together, there were no intimate actions between them. Furthermore, he had publicly admitted that he had a wife before.
In the end, those people online had really gone too far …
On the other side, Lu Yunting was extremely happy after reading the news.
He immediately recognized the photo on the news. It was he who had asked Chen Man to pass it down to him.
Now that Yan Luoxi had chosen to release the picture, it meant that she most likely wanted to leave Yan Jiming.
When Lu Yunting thought about how the two of them were no longer husband and wife due to their love, his mood immediately turned good.
He wasn't a saint, and when he saw the woman he liked fall into the embrace of another man, he would feel jealous and upset …
In the afternoon, Lu Yunting received news from his subordinates that Yan Jiming was investigating the source of the rumors.
In order to prevent him from finding out who Yan Luoxi was, Lu Yunting immediately sent people to stop Yan Jiming's investigation.
If Yan Jiming knew that these things were done deliberately by Yan Luoxi, he would definitely be very angry.
Yan Luoxi's current health was not too good, and she was pregnant, so Lu Yunting did not wish for her to suffer any injuries.
However, his methods could only temporarily stop Yan Jiming from investigating Yan Luoxi's body.
The paper could not hold the fire. The two of them lived together under the same roof. At any time, he might discover who was really spreading the rumor.
After thinking about it, Lu Yunting decided to personally make a trip to the Wu family.
Wu Yuxuan was Yan Jiming's elder and if one wanted to arrange a woman for him, it was enough to see that the relationship between the two families were still quite good.
He wanted to know the attitude of the Wu Clan towards this matter.
"Boss Lu, your presence brings light to my humble dwelling!" Seeing that Lu Yunting had personally come to pay a visit, Wu's father smiled from the corner of his eyes.
Ever since the news of their family's Yu Xuan and Yan Jiming "being together" had spread, the Wu family's status had risen greatly.
"Boss Wu is too polite. I heard that you guys are very interested in the related departments building the South Ridge Academy?" Lu Yunting sized up Wu's father without batting an eyelid and found that his eyes were filled with joy.
"The South Ridge Academy is of great significance to our city. If it can be successfully built, it'll be convenient for everyone!" The benefits of this project were extremely generous, and once the academy was established, it would be used to store the ancient paintings left behind by famous people in the city for visitors to see.
Such a good project, naturally, Wu Yuxuan's father would be moved.
However, he also knew the strength of his own company. The chances of him wanting to stand out and obtain this project were very small …
"The Wu Corporation's strength is not bad. Unfortunately, they encountered some problems some time ago. You need time to recover!" Lu Yunting observed his expression without leaving a trace.
"Boss Lu is too kind, compared to Lu Group, my company is far worse!" Wu's father talked with him while he instructed the servants to make tea and snacks for him.
There were too many people who wanted to snatch a portion of the South Ridge Academy's projects. They knew that their company's strength was insufficient, but they still thought of it. They even wanted to get a share.
This showed how greedy this Wu's father was.
"I heard that Yan Jiming has a good relationship with your family, why don't Boss Wu consider cooperating with him and take down this project?" After knowing his personality, Lu Yunting started to make his move.
"Boss Lu means that you do not plan on fighting for this project?" Wu's father looked at him in surprise.
"Yan Jiming and I's strengths are about the same. With you two as backup, I'll naturally be slightly weaker in terms of strength!" Lu Yunting dug a hole one step at a time and waited for the Wu family members to follow his footsteps.
"You're too modest, who doesn't know that you and Director Yan are known as the City's Duo Xiong!" Wu's father smiled and praised.
"Actually, I came to find you today because I have a project that I want to work with your company on. I wonder if Boss Wu has any intentions?" Lu Yunting lifted his teacup and sipped his tea.
"Of course I am interested, it is my honor for Boss Lu to be willing to cooperate with me!" The Wu's father was ecstatic.
If he could work with both Yan's Group and Lu Group, the two leading enterprises, at the same time, he would not have to worry about the performance of his company.
A while ago, the company had met with a crisis, and he had thought of many methods, but could not overcome the crisis. If it were not for Yan Jinhui's help, his daughter would have successfully drawn Yan Jiming's attention.
The company is going to go bankrupt.
"I will get my assistant to contact you later!" Lu Yunting had already expected that he wouldn't reject.
As long as one was able to obtain benefits, it was natural to put their life on the line to seize this opportunity.
"Thank you, Boss Lu, for giving me the chance!" Wu's father's face was filled with joy and excitement.
"Cooperation is a win-win situation, you don't have to thank me!" He was willing to take the initiative to look for the Wu's father, cooperation was secondary.
Lu Yunting did not stay in the Wu household for long.
Since he had achieved his goal, there was no need for him to stay behind and listen to the Wu's father's flattery anymore …
On the second day, Lu Yunting's assistant contacted them, and the two of them met together to establish a cooperative relationship.
However, the Wu family had just received some confidential documents regarding the project, and their company immediately made a mistake.
"Boss Wu is in trouble, the important document given by the Boss Lu's assistant in the morning has disappeared!" Just as Wu's father was feeling full of himself, his secretary knocked on the door and came in.
"What?" Hearing that, Wu's father's face changed, "Didn't I tell you to keep the documents in your office safe? How did you lose the documents?"
"The project department people needed the documents, so I gave them the documents. In the end, Director Liu from the project department called and said that he never received the documents …" At this moment, the secretary was also dumbfounded.
One of the project staff had come to pick up the files, but they were now gone for no apparent reason, and she was burning with anxiety.
"Who are you handing the documents to? Go and find that person!" This document was related to this project. If they were to lose it, the consequences would be unimaginable.
The secretary looked around the project department, but he couldn't find the person who had come to pick up the documents.
"You idiot. You can't even confirm the identity of the other party, so why did you hand the document over to him?" The Wu's father flew into a rage.
"He said that he was a newbie who just arrived at the company and was wearing a work permit. I only gave him the documents after confirming the work permit's information!" The secretary felt very innocent.
From beginning to end, she had followed the company's rules for this matter. Who would have thought that it would end up like this?
"Boss, now is not the time to look into this matter. We should hurry up and find the documents, otherwise we won't be able to explain it to Boss Lu!" the assistant reminded him.
"For the time being, we cannot reveal the missing documents, or else our reputation will be affected. This matter must be done in secret!" Wu's father's face was gloomy and cold, his pitch-black eyes were filled with anger.
