More Than A Few Blessing

Chapter 43

The door opened silently, Yan Mu stood inside the door, watching Lu Chengyu standing outside the door with an embarrassed expression on his face, and warmly said: “Come in.” Lu Chengyu entered Yan Mu’s office, turned around to close the door, and said in embarrassment: “Boss, I’m here to talk to you about the shares.”

Although he had been faceless and skinny in his previous life, his face was already very thick, but today he felt a little guilty in the face of Yan Mu’s trusting eyes.

As the president of Huading Company, Yan Mu took the opportunity to buy stocks at a bargain while gambling with his opponent, and he almost sabotaged the other party’s plan. After joining Huading, the other party always trusted him at work, and he also looked for opportunities to train his ability to work, but he never mentioned it. He didn’t really forget this incident, but when confronted with Yan Mu and Cao Jingshen, he wanted to hide it for as long as possible. If he joined the company soon, and let Yan Mu and Cao Jingshen know that he had 3% of Huading’s shares in his hands, perhaps this friendship would not be so close.

But when things happened, he felt that he was not clever in this trick, and he even dared to do so by relying on others treating him as a friend. He walked up to Yan Mu, the corners of his mouth moved a few times, but he couldn’t open the mouth.

“Liang Guoming came to the verdict in the first instance. He was sentenced to 13 years for several crimes.” Yan Mu poured a glass of water for Lu Chengyu. “The court also sentenced him to pay your medical bills.”

“Thank you,” Lu Chengyu looked at the cup in his hand and saw that it was not a disposable paper cup, but a white ceramic cup printed with blue and white double stalks and inside was his favorite tea. Holding the teacup tightly, he sighed and said, “Boss, the person who bought the Huading stock during the internal turmoil of Huading…It was me.”

He knew in his heart that if there was no Yan Mu to help behind, the first instance would not be judged. It was impossible for it to get down so soon, and the sentence still being so strict. With the financial resources of the Liang family, it was not difficult to get the sentence reduced. So, this time the sentence was so heavy, there must be some help behind it.

Yan Mu took out two boxes of biscuits from the cupboard and put them on the table. He sat down on the other side of the sofa, looking at Lu Chengyu with a calm expression, as if he was saying, “Let’s talk, I’m listening.”

Lu Chengyu felt that what his narrative was suddenly not so strong. At this time, shouldn’t Yan Mu look at him with disappointment and sadness? What was with biscuits and tea. Is this a tea party? The style of painting was seriously wrong, and he could hardly continue.

The biscuits were the kind he usually liked to eat. The packaging had been opened by Yan Mu, but the biscuits inside were still full, and none of them had been moved.

“At that time, I won the lottery, and there was a sum of money left by my parents,” Lu Chengyu looked at the steam in the water glass. “At that time, I thought the stock price of Huading had dropped so low, and it was a bit weird. I studied economics. Knowing that there is a profit in it, I just gambled. After a few days after I bought a large number of scattered stocks, I found that other people were buying a lot of stocks, plus I didn’t have much money left, so… I stopped.”

Yan Mu looked at Lu Chengyu’s hand tightly holding the water cup: “How much did you win?”

“Twenty million,” Lu Chengyu took a sip of water, “I’m sorry…” This kind of concealing friend’s business is really too heart-wrenching.

“It’s good to win the prize,” Yan Mu got up and sat a little closer to Lu Chengyu. “I didn’t doubt you. You are willing to take the initiative to tell me. I am very happy.”
