Chapter 47: Well Done

Lu Chengwen was completely dumbfounded.

The current situation had reached a critical moment of life and death!

Two leading heroines were hooked onto his arms, Long Aotian was right behind him, and Iron Tower Wang was right in front of him.

If Long Aotian and Iron Tower Wang exchanged fewer than three sentences, both of them would fly into a rage and jump up to smash him to pieces.

Let alone those two, any random one of the four muscular brutes standing behind Iron Tower Wang could directly send him back to the novice village to start life all over again.

How many days had it been? Four days?

Was his limit really just four days?

At this moment, Xu Xuejiao gently pinched Lu Chengwen's arm, then said with a triumphant smile, "Oh my, big guy, you look so familiar?"

Iron Tower Wang wore an embarrassed expression, laughing awkwardly, "Well, haha, this is... a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding. It was all a misunderstanding before."

Long Aotian thought to himself, how are the few of them already chatting?

That darkest one must be Iron Tower Wang, right? And he actually knows Lu Chengwen?

Long Aotian said, "Let's go inside and talk if you have business."

Now Lu Chengwen had no way to leave. How could he walk away? The moment he tried to escape, his cover would be instantly blown.

If he didn't escape... he had to come up with a plan.

As he walked, Lu Chengwen kept thinking, his legs feeling somewhat disobedient.

Xu Xuejiao pinched Lu Chengwen again: "Hold on, you must hold on!"

Although Leng Qingqiu didn't know the exact situation, it was obvious that Lu Chengwen was extremely nervous; the hand she was holding was full of sweat.

A man behind leaned close to Iron Tower Wang and whispered, "Rumor has it that the young master possesses peerless martial arts and divine talent. Why do his footsteps look so unstable, completely unlike someone who knows kung fu, more like a sickly weakling?"

Iron Tower Wang lowered his voice: "What the hell do you know! The young master went through a fierce and grueling battle on the frontier and achieved monumental feats. But he also suffered heavy injuries, so his strength is not at its peak right now. Returning to the northern realm, he is relying on strategy and intellect to annex several major families here, keeping them for future use. Don't talk nonsense. If you offend the young master, none of us will be able to bear the consequences."

"Shouldn't we confirm it once more?"

"Confirm what?" Iron Tower Wang retorted. "Look at him—romantic and debonair, stealing jade and plundering fragrance, surrounded by beauties, and even being supported by two women as he walks. He is simply showing off to the absolute pinnacle! Under the heavens, who else possesses such talent for showing off? Step aside!"

They arrived at the private room of the coffee shop.

The group sat down.

Iron Tower Wang offered Lu Chengwen the seat of honor. Lu Chengwen gave a cough and exchanged a meaningful glance, and Iron Tower Wang caught the hint immediately, taking the primary seat himself.

Long Aotian felt something was terribly wrong!

Why wasn't this guy greeting him? Instead, he seemed extremely respectful toward Lu Chengwen. What the hell was going on?

Did this guy know something? Could he even be the real Iron Tower Wang?

Long Aotian smiled and stood up: "May I ask if your Excellency is Mr. Iron?"

"That's right, I am Tie Muer."

Long Aotian was taken aback, thinking, what kind of a crappy name is that? Couldn't he come up with a slightly more believable fake name?

"Mr. Iron, please allow me to introduce her first. This is Miss Leng Qingqiu, the Executive President of our Qianfeng Group."

When Tie Muer saw both Leng Qingqiu and Xu Xuejiao sitting right next to Lu Chengwen, he praised inwardly.

As expected of the young master!

He had already conquered the two great beauties of the two major families!

He had to admit, this Leng Qingqiu was breathtakingly gorgeous, and her temperament was vastly superior to that little loli.

Those fools only knew how to spread random rumors. The young master was clearly riding high on success and making rapid progress. Why on earth did they claim the young master had encountered resistance and that some punk was opposing him?

With a heroic figure like the young master, who would dare to oppose him? Who could oppose him? Wasn't that just getting tired of living?

It seemed his own trip here was merely adding frost to the snow at best. He had to perform well and leave a good impression on the young master.

Whether he would soar to great heights and rise smoothly in the future depended entirely on how well he performed on this business trip!

Thinking of this, Tie Muer immediately smiled and said, "Miss Leng is indeed a peerless beauty, young and promising."

Leng Qingqiu squeezed out a smile: "Mr. Iron is too kind."

Lu Chengwen didn't quite dare to meet Iron Tower Wang's eyes.

Thoughts raced through his mind:

[There is only one path left! Continue to pretend to be the young master and win this guy's trust.]

[If I don't bluff, I die; if my cover is blown, I die. The only way to survive is to completely hold this black iron tower in the palm of my hand!]

[Screw it! From this moment on, I will hypnotize myself. I am the young master, I am!]

[Let me show you what true acting skills are!]

Leng Qingqiu finally figured out what was going on.

As for Xu Xuejiao, she had known beforehand that Lu Chengwen was fooling this black giant into mistaking him for Long Aotian.

Even though she didn't know why their names had already been stated without blowing his cover, since the cover wasn't blown yet, she had to keep playing along.

Avoiding Iron Tower Wang's gaze, Lu Chengwen turned around instead, pinched Xu Xuejiao's chin, and smiled playfully, "Little sister Xuejiao, I love the scent on you so much."

He didn't dare to overdo it, fearing that Leng Qingqiu beside him would blow a fuse.

To his absolute surprise, however, Leng Qingqiu had already read his inner thoughts about the current situation and completely cooperated.

"Brother Chengwen, little sister Xuejiao's scent is nice, but is mine not nice? Why don't you take a sniff?"

Lu Chengwen was immensely shocked. He turned his head to look at Leng Qingqiu and saw a gaze of resolute support in her eyes.

In an instant, Lu Chengwen understood, his spirit surging high.

[Good! The ice-clever Leng Qingqiu, my three years of simping for you were not wasted!]

[Just for your quick on-the-spot reaction today, those three years were completely worth it.]

"Hahaha!" Lu Chengwen turned back and pinched Leng Qingqiu's chin as well. "Then I have to take a sniff to find out!"

"Then... come and sniff!"

Lu Chengwen thought:

[Damn it, you're actually cooperating! I can't show cowardice now; showing cowardice here means death.]

[Whatever, I'll apologize to these two great beauties later. Today's match isn't a placement match, it's a bloody knockout round, and I must win!]

Acting like a total lecher, Lu Chengwen buried his face straight into Leng Qingqiu's chest, took a deep breath, and lifted his head with an intoxicated expression: "Mmm—so fragrant!"

Xu Xuejiao refused to be left out. Her body practically draped over Lu Chengwen, and she hooked one of her thighs over his body, pressing down on him: "Director Lu, my chest hurts a bit here, help me massage it!"

Lu Chengwen thought to himself:

[My two elder sisters! Getting the general idea across is enough, you don't need to go this far! Won't this literally turn me into a major pervert?]

Yet with the arrow already nocked on the bow, he could only continue to hypocritically cooperate.

Lu Chengwen's large hand reached directly toward Xu Xuejiao's thigh, rubbing back and forth, and even crept all the way under her skirt, steadily climbing upward.

Of course, in the position under the skirt where no one else could see, Lu Chengwen was thoroughly well-behaved, though from the outside it looked extremely excessive.

Naturally, Xu Xuejiao, as the person involved, knew this.

But Leng Qingqiu didn't!

Leng Qingqiu thought, are the two of you really going this far? Doing this right in front of my face?

A wave of competitive spirit arose in her. She pressed herself against Lu Chengwen's other side as well, draping her thigh over him too: "Brother Chengwen, it hurts here for me too. Can you help me massage it as well?"

Lu Chengwen had no choice but to take advantage of both sides...

Inwardly, Iron Tower Wang raised his thumb in silent praise: Young master, I truly admire you! Under the heavens, who else possesses the skill to tame women on par with you? No one!

Long Aotian was practically on the verge of vomiting blood.

His eyeballs were almost spitting fire, his whites completely bloodshot, as if he wished his eyes would explode out of his head in the next second.

Lu Chengwen! You bastard!

Xu Xuejiao said, "Brother, squeeze my chest a little and see if it's grown a bit bigger!"

Leng Qingqiu chimed in: "Brother, I want that here too, you mustn't play favorites!"

The two girls began their battle of wits and wiles.

Lu Chengwen cursed internally:

[Are you two sick in the head, big brother—uh, big sisters!]

[You're competing in this too?!]

[Is this really the time to be petty?]

With a wave of his large hand, Lu Chengwen declared, "Alright, both of you sit back down. I need to discuss serious business."

Xu Xuejiao immediately clapped her hands: "Ooh, Brother Chengwen is so imposing, I just love your domineering side!"

Leng Qingqiu also said, "I just love it when you look fierce, you're so masculine!"

[Just kill me now. I'll die in the hands of you two sooner or later.]

[It's one thing for Xu Xuejiao to wish I were dead, but how does Leng Qingqiu have this side to her as well?]

[Still, when she acts gentle, she really is lovable.]

Lu Chengwen said, "Ahem... Mr. Iron, is it?"

"Yes, yes, Director Lu, that's me."

Long Aotian let out a breath, advising himself to talk about serious business first; small patience prevents the spoiling of great plans.

"Mr. Iron, I am the newly appointed Vice President of Qianfeng Group. What I want to discuss with you this time is the injection of five billion into our amusement park project. Actually, you should already understand most of the specific details. I think we might as well skip the intermediate steps and just sign the contract and transfer the funds."

Tie Muer glanced at him, then looked over at Lu Chengwen: "Director Lu, what do you think..."

Long Aotian instantly flew into a rage.

They were talking about Qianfeng's business right now, dammit. Why the hell was he looking at him?

Suppressing his anger with a smile, Long Aotian said, "Mr. Iron, this deal belongs to Qianfeng Group, not Dasheng Group. It has nothing to do with Lu Chengwen."

Iron Tower Wang suddenly reacted: "Ah, right! What's going on?"

Lu Chengwen replied, "Didn't you see the President of Qianfeng Group in my arms? I can call half the shots regarding Qianfeng Group's affairs."

"Oh, that's fantastic..." Iron Tower Wang laughed heartily: "In that case, I'll invest..."

"Wait a minute!" Looking at Iron Tower Wang, Long Aotian thought, if I weren't in urgent need of this five billion to increase my own trump cards, I'd definitely smash you to death today, you big idiot.

Long Aotian reminded him: "Mr. Iron, your coming to Snow City this time must have been entrusted by someone, right?"

Iron Tower Wang felt a tight squeeze in his chest: Oh crap, did this guy figure out that I have a connection with the young master? No way, I have to act natural.

"Hm? No, not at all. I just came here to invest. Hearing from Director Lu that there's a good project, I came to take a look. Whether to invest and how much to invest hasn't been decided yet."

Hearing this, Long Aotian felt even more infuriated.

Why are you pretending with me? I'm reminding you here!

"Mr. Iron." Gritting his teeth, Long Aotian forced the words out through his clenched jaw, his eyes wide as bronze bells as he repeatedly nudged him: "You came here specifically for the amusement park project, am I right?"

Iron Tower Wang thought this grandson must be out of his mind.

Who the hell was he acting tough with?

Iron Tower Wang raised an eyebrow: "Do you have hemorrhoids in your mouth or something? Why are you talking through clenched teeth?"

Long Aotian's eyelids twitched violently with rage.

In a leisurely manner, Lu Chengwen said, "I've changed my mind. We have a shantytown renovation project here. It's a great project and we can invest in that instead."

"Oh? Is that so?" Iron Tower Wang quickly said, "Alright, alright, alright, let's sign the contract immediately."

Long Aotian thought to himself, does this fool really lack a brain entirely?

Walking up to him, Long Aotian pressed both hands on the tabletop and stared him down: "Do you even know what the shantytown project is? Do you know the situation inside it?"

"Nope, don't know."

"You dare to sign without even knowing?"

"I dare. As long as Director Lu has good vision, that's enough. I only trust Director Lu."

Long Aotian felt like his heart was about to have an attack provoked by this grandson: "The original purpose of your coming here was to sign the amusement park project, not the shantytown one! The shantytown project won't make any money."

Iron Tower Wang grew displeased: "Are you teaching me how to do my job?"
