20: Chapter 20 I Don’t Like Worn-Out Shoes_1 20: Chapter 20 I Don’t Like Worn-Out Shoes_1 Chu Mengyao frowned as she looked at Zhang Quan, “Is it them that want to partner with our company?”

Zhang Quan suddenly stood up with his forehead covered in cold sweat, trembling as he said, “Yes…

yes.”

Liu Kun was puzzled, “Manager Zhang, why did you suddenly stand up?

She’s just a junior employee, you don’t need to treat her with so much respect, right?”

Zhang Quan roared at Liu Kun, “She is our president!

Have your brains been kicked by a donkey?”

Liu Kun and Qin Lan’s expressions froze, they exchanged incredulous looks, and quickly stood up as well.

“She…

she is your president?

How is that possible?

If that were true, how could she be friends with someone like Lu Chuan, that trash…” Qin Lan said with a face full of doubt.

Zhang Quan wished he could slap this stupid woman a few times, “You mean to say I don’t even know who our company’s president is?”

Liu Kun hurriedly covered Qin Lan’s mouth, “No, no, that’s not what we meant…”

His face was ashen and he turned towards Chu Mengyao with a strained and ugly smile, saying, “Mr.

Chu, it was all a misunderstanding just now…”

Chu Mengyao snorted coldly, “Misunderstanding?

Do you think I am blind or deaf?

I heard every word you insulted me with crystal clear!”

Liu Kun quickly raised his hand and started smacking his own mouth, “My damn mouth, just can’t keep shut, Mr.

Chu, please don’t take it to heart!”

Lu Chuan, who was about to leave, saw there was a situation here and came over to watch the excitement.

Seeing Liu Kun smacking his own mouth, he laughed and said, “What?

Have you finally realized how disgusting your mouth is?”

Liu Kun glared at Lu Chuan but ignored him.

Seeing Lu Chuan coming over, Qin Lan’s prideful nature reawakened and she stopped Liu Kun, saying, “Dear, why are you hitting yourself so hard?

Even if she is the president with a Blooming Beauty, so what?

She hangs out with someone like Lu Chuan, which shows her taste is questionable, so what’s wrong with us talking about her?”

Liu Kun was furious and slapped Qin Lan across the face, scolding her, “Are you an idiot?

She’s not only the president of Blooming Beauty, but also the young miss of the Chu family, and on top of that, the prospective daughter-in-law of Long Tianya.

If you want to die, don’t drag me with you!”

Qin Lan was immediately dumbfounded, having not expected Chu Mengyao to have so many terrifying identities.

Liu Kun pleaded with Chu Mengyao, “Mr.

Chu, she’s got water on the brain, please don’t stoop to her level, we came today truly intending to discuss a partnership…”

Chu Mengyao curled her lips, “With your quality, you are simply unworthy of partnering with us!”

“Manager Zhang, put them on the company’s blacklist, and declare publicly that from now on, any projects of ours will not permit the Qin family’s participation.”

She glanced at Liu Kun, “Also, cancel all activities scheduled to be held at the Cloud Sea Grand Hotel.

Furthermore, we will no longer cooperate with the Cloud Sea Grand Hotel for any commercial events!”

Zhang Quan nodded immediately, “Yes!

I’ll issue the announcement and notify the entire industry right away!”

Even if Qin Lan was naive, upon hearing Chu Mengyao’s words, she started to panic inside.

Although this was just an announcement from Blooming Beauty, Chu Mengyao was the young miss of the Chu family, and also the prospective daughter-in-law of Long Tianya.

With just these two identities alone, nobody would dare to collaborate with the Qin family anymore.

After all, no one would want to offend the Chu and Long Tianya families just for the small Qin family.

This was essentially putting an end to the Qin family’s existence in all of Cloud City!

If the Qin family’s higher-ups knew that Qin Lan had single-handedly doomed the entire Qin family, they would likely skin her alive.

With a face filled with despair, she looked towards Chu Mengyao and pleaded, “Mr.

Chu, Miss Chu, I know I was wrong, please revoke this order, once this announcement goes out, my Qin family will be finished!”

Chu Mengyao had an indifferent look, “The Qin family being finished, what does that have to do with me?”

Qin Lan stumbled, almost falling over, she grabbed Liu Kun and called out in desperation, “Dear, you have to think of something for me!”

Liu Kun was seething with rage at that moment, his body trembling uncontrollably.

Although Blooming Beauty breaking off the partnership with the Cloud Sea Grand Hotel wouldn’t affect him as severely as it would the Qin family, it was tantamount to offending the Chu family and Long Tianya!

How could he be saddled with such a stupid woman!

“You’re seeking your own death, and you want me to figure out a way for you?

I’m thinking, ‘what the hell!'”

He kicked Qin Lan, cursing, “Get the hell away from me, and don’t you ever call me ‘dear’ again—I find it disgusting!”

Qin Lan fell to the ground but quickly got up again.

Seeing that Liu Kun refused to help her, she ran to Lu Chuan and pleaded, “Lu Chuan, you’re Mr.

Chu’s friend.

Please plead for me.

If you’re willing to help me, I’ll spend the night with you, okay?”

Lu Chuan shook her off with a look of disdain.

“I’m not into worn-out slippers.”

Chu Mengyao was very satisfied with Lu Chuan’s actions and shouted, “Security, throw both of them out!”

A team of security guards rushed over and threw both Liu Kun and Qin Lan out.

Lu Chuan felt a great sense of relief in his heart.

He smiled at Chu Mengyao and said, “I was actually planning to get back at them myself, but you beat me to the punch and taught them a lesson for me.

Thank you for that.”

Chu Mengyao replied indifferently, “They were both so detestable that it was only right for me to discipline them.

You don’t need to thank me.”

Seeing her trying so hard to distance herself from him, Lu Chuan smiled wryly and said nothing else.

He made a bowing gesture and said, “Then I’ll take my leave now.”

Chu Mengyao wanted to say ‘don’t let me keep you,’ but suddenly she felt a chill gathering in her chest, making her body weaken, and she almost fell.

She frowned and quickly said to Lu Chuan, “Wait a moment.”

Lu Chuan looked confused, “Something else?”

Chu Mengyao looked at him with a mixture of distress and fault-finding, “When you ‘treated’ my cold condition, were you actually healing me or just taking advantage of me?

Why is my cold acting up again?”

Lu Chuan frowned, hurried forward, and took Chu Mengyao’s pulse, expressing surprise, “That’s strange; I thought I had suppressed the extreme cold within your body.

Why has some of it started to emerge again?”

Chu Mengyao asked, “What do you mean?”

Lu Chuan explained, “It’s not a big issue, probably just an oversight on my part.

Let’s go back to the office, and I’ll suppress it for you once more.”

Chu Mengyao bit her lip, “Can’t you be more reliable?”

Lu Chuan scratched his head sheepishly, “Even a Divine Doctor can be careless at times.

Please bear with me.”

In truth, he had completely suppressed the extreme cold in Chu Mengyao’s body the previous time, and he had no idea why a bit of it had resurfaced.

Chu Mengyao, without holding a grudge, let Lu Chuan help her into the elevator.

The two entered the CEO’s office and, once Lu Chuan shut the door, Chu Mengyao confidently lay down on the office desk.

“Hurry up, I’m feeling quite uncomfortable.

Don’t be careless this time,” urged Chu Mengyao.

Lu Chuan approached the desk, smiling, “Don’t worry, it won’t happen again.”

He raised his hand, about to help Chu Mengyao suppress the cold energy, when he suddenly paused.

Chu Mengyao glanced at him, “What are you standing around for?”

Lu Chuan’s eyes fell on Chu Mengyao’s chest, “The cold energy this time has gathered at your chest.

In order to suppress it, I need to reach in…

erm, place my hand where the cold is.”
