When Chen Lu rushed to the underground parking lot B115, Mr. Wang had been waiting for a while. Seeing Chen Lu coming from a distance, Mr. Wang didn't get out of the car and opened the passenger door.
"Some work has not been completed, so..."
Chen Lu seemed a little nervous as soon as she got in the car. She looked at Mr. Wang with eyes that were unclear whether it was avoidance or fear, and she looked a little messy.
Mr. Wang seemed to understand Chen Lu's thoughts very well. He started the car and walked outside without looking at her or comforting her.
The Audi A8 drove out of the underground parking lot, and when the sun shone in the car window, Mr. Wang said: "It doesn't matter, good things have to wait."
Mr. Wang took Chen Lu to a five-star hotel next to Sihui. The two of them first went to the dining area on the fourth floor for a seafood buffet.
"Some people don't know and think that the food in restaurants is delicious. In fact, the food in many hotels is good, clean, hygienic and tastes good. The king crab here is very delicious, you should try it."
Mr. Wang gave Chen Lu a piece of crab meat and put it on Chen Lu's dinner plate.
Chen Lu lowered her head and didn't know what to say, looking very nervous.
"That man came to see you again?" Mr. Wang asked.
Chen Lu shook her head: "Thank you. If it weren't for you..."
That night, Chen Lu called Yi Yao three times but no one answered her phone. She was already feeling a little heavy, but there was a sudden knock on the door. Chen Lu saw through the peephole that it was the man who had been pestering her for a long time.
During that time, Mr. Wang felt very uncomfortable because Zhang Yunchang was plotting against him because of the renegotiation of the division of profit. His attitude toward Chen Lu also changed slightly. By some strange coincidence, Chen Lu dialed Mr. Wang's phone and asked Wang
Always asking for help.
Mr. Wang went indeed.
The man blocked the door of Chen Lu's house. It seemed that he already knew that Chen Lu was living inside. He didn't yell but just kept blocking the door, waiting for Chen Lu to come out.
The man did not wait for Chen Lu, but waited for Mr. Wang who came to save her.
Mr. Wang brought the man into the house. He didn't get angry or even had any impulsive emotions. Instead, he discussed the terms with the man.
The man's name is Dong Zhi, and he is Chen Lu's fiance who found her in Beijing from her hometown.
Chen Lu's hometown is in a small county in Shandong. Her parents have always been in the street stall business. Although they can maintain food and clothing, their family conditions have always been poor.
After Chen Lu graduated from university, her family always wanted Chen Lu to go back to her hometown and find a down-to-earth man to get married and live. Later, a matchmaker introduced Dong Zhi to Chen Lu. The two met several times, although the impression was not too bad.
, but Chen Lu had no plans to get married at that time. She still wanted to return to Beijing and work hard.
But during that time, his father, Chen Tian, suddenly fell ill and was hospitalized. He was diagnosed with severe arteriosclerosis and needed heart bypass surgery immediately. The family had little savings, and his father’s surgery fee alone cost more than 140,000. Chen Luyi
When the family had not scraped together enough scraps, Dong Zhi came.
Dong Zhi told Chen Lu that as long as she agreed to the engagement, she would bear the expenses.
After struggling all night, Chen Lu finally agreed. The two got engaged and agreed to get married at the end of the year.
After her father was discharged from the hospital, Chen Lu regretted it. She stayed in that small county for a month, and it became increasingly clear that this was not the place she wanted to settle down. Chen Lu went to Dong Zhi and proposed to break up. She would pay him the money she owed him.
Return it to Dong Zhi.
Dong Zhi felt that he had been tricked, so he decided to cook the rice that day to break Chen Lu's mind. Dong Zhi almost succeeded, but Chen Lu still escaped.
After that, Chen Lu secretly returned to Beijing. She changed her mobile phone number. Since then, she has not had much contact with her family. The only time she contacted her was to ask passers-by to borrow her mobile phone and call her to report that she was safe.
Two years passed like this. Chen Lu paid Dong Zhi back 60,000 yuan, and promised to pay Dong Zhi another 100,000 yuan. The remaining 20,000 yuan would be considered the interest for the past two years.
Of course, Dong Zhi refused to give up. Although he accepted the money, he still kept looking for Chen Lu's whereabouts. Until the middle of last year, Dong Zhi got the news from nowhere and found out that Chen Lu lived near the orchard in Tongzhou.
In a rental house.
Dong Zhi was so determined to marry Chen Lu that he put down his work and went straight to Beijing to look for Chen Lu.
Chen Lu moved several times, but Dong Zhi seemed to have found out the details and quickly found her.
That night, Dong Zhi finally found Chen Lu's address and blocked the door. Chen Lu also made a mysterious call to Mr. Wang for help.
Dong Zhi could tell from the way he dressed and spoke and behaved that the man named Mr. Wang in front of him was no ordinary person. After entering, he did not dare to vent his anger that had been accumulated for more than two years and sat down on the sofa honestly.
"Mr. Dong, it is natural to pay back debts, but there is no need for you to keep pestering Chen Lu. We are a society governed by the rule of law. If you do this, I can call the police."
Even though Mr. Wang's tone was calm, there was an inexplicable ferocity in what he said, making Dong Zhi unable to refute for a while.
Seeing that Dong Zhi was silent, Mr. Wang took out 150,000 yuan from his bag and said, "Do you think this will work? Chen Lu lent you 140,000 yuan before, and I will treat this 150,000 yuan as repayment to you.
Sixty thousand yuan is considered interest, so let’s forget about it, what do you think?”
140,000 yuan in interest for two years and 70,000 yuan in interest. It is impossible for loan sharks to make such huge profits. Moreover, Dong Zhi knew that this person was not easy to mess with. He was smiling all the time. He even suspected that there were more than a dozen big men at the door right now.
Wait, if he doesn't agree, someone will rush in immediately.
Mr. Wang solved the problem that had bothered Chen Lu for more than two years in less than five minutes.
Sure enough, as soon as Dong Zhi went out, he was really surrounded by several people. They glanced at Mr. Wang, and with Mr. Wang's tacit approval, they dragged Dong Zhi downstairs.
This group of people didn't do anything impulsive. They just sent Dong Zhi to the train station overnight, bought him a train ticket, and didn't give up until they watched Dong Zhi get on the train.
Chen Lu's nervousness has not eased at all. She only owed money to Dong Zhi before, but now Mr. Wang has become her creditor in the blink of an eye.
"Mr. Wang, thank you for what happened that day. I will pay you back your money as soon as possible." Chen Lu looked scared.
Mr. Wang just smiled. He picked up the kettle on the table and poured a glass of water on his own, but his eyes were fixed on Chen Lu's reaction the whole time.
"It's okay. I'm not short of money, so you don't have to be so anxious. Besides, I promised to give Dong Zhi 150,000 yuan. You don't owe him that much money. Just don't be angry if I make my own decision."
Although Mr. Wang didn't say a single explicit word, Chen Lu had already understood what he meant.
Chen Lu was very confused and scared. She didn't know how to face Mr. Wang for a while.
Seeing the way her eyes were dodging, Mr. Wang stood up and was about to leave, but he still left a message: "Don't worry, I never like to force others. Just pretend that what happened today never happened. I haven't been here either. You
Just finish my project well."
Chen Lu was still naive. She really thought Wang always helped because she was the project leader.
But within a few days, Zhang Yunchuang found Chen Lu and asked her how the project was progressing and whether she needed to increase manpower.
The increase in manpower seems to be a favor, but of course Chen Lu understands that this is Mr. Wang's instruction, and it is an instruction that combines kindness and power. Mr. Wang is happy, Chen Lu can continue to work on the project, and there will be many people to help; if Mr. Wang is not happy, then
The extra manpower is likely to replace Chen Lu.
Chen Lu realized that she could not give up this job, nor could she give up Mr. Wang's project.
She had just moved from the shared house in Guoyuan to the one-bedroom apartment in Sihui. She would never go back to that dilapidated partitioned house. Besides, if she really lost her job, she would have no choice but to go back to her hometown in Shandong. Then...
…
After struggling for a long time, Chen Lu finally made a decision.
Last night, Mr. Wang sent her a text message: "Let's have a meal together tomorrow and go to the hotel that day. The seafood buffet there is very good. I will pick you up at your company after you get off work."
Chen Lu already understood what Mr. Wang meant by his words.
After hesitating for more than half an hour, Chen Lu finally replied: "I understand."
After finishing the seafood, Mr. Wang stood up and walked to Chen Lu's side. He didn't make any extra moves. He just said: "Let's go."
Chen Lu stood up tremblingly, as nervous as a little chicken that had just left its mother's arms, trembling violently all over.
Chen Lu finally followed Mr. Wang into the room.
Mr. Wang lay on the bed, took out a cigarette and lit it. He was not in a hurry, but pointed to the bathroom surrounded by transparent glass in the middle of the room: "You go take a shower first, there is music in it, don't be nervous.
