Chapter 95: All Schemes Are Paper Tigers (Please add this to your bookshelf so you can find it again)

“Because I know Brother Tian now!” Tian Li said as if it were only natural.

Lin Lin’s face reddened with awkwardness again, but Shu Yue still did not understand. She looked at Hua Tianyu, wanting to ask, yet feeling a little shy.

In the end, the torment of her illness forced her to speak. “Hua Tianyu, do you have a good solution?”

Hua Tianyu pondered for two seconds. “I do have a way to keep you from hurting for ten months...”

Shu Yue: “...”

Hua Tianyu, you even dare to tease me?!

Snapping back to her senses, Shu Yue hurled the hand warmer in her hand straight at him, only for Hua Tianyu to catch it and hand it back to her.

After Tian Li and Hua Tianyu interrupted the atmosphere, the room became lively again.

“Hua Tianyu, for the sake of your cooking, if you invite me here to eat every day from now on, I’ll forgive you for what happened today!” As the meal was nearly finished, Shu Yue said to him with a sweet smile.

Hua Tianyu: “...”

What exactly did I do today that needs forgiving?

Is it because I’m a man?

Even Little Rain the Eunuch has finished his own book, and as a proper man, what’s wrong with me?

Lin Lin also chimed in from the side. “Hua Tianyu, you’re going to be cooking for us anyway, so just bring Teacher Shu along!”

Hua Tianyu thought for two seconds. “You’d better not forgive me then!”

Shu Yue still smiled. “No, I must forgive you!”

Hua Tianyu thought for two seconds. “Then let’s discuss the details of keeping you from hurting for ten months!”

Shu Yue: “...”

In the end, the matter of Shu Yue coming to eat every day was happily settled, and as for Hua Tianyu, he was given no more chance to object.

As for Tian Li, given how enthusiastically she and Hua Tianyu were showering each other with affection, she naturally could not say a word.

In the end, Hua Tianyu was left alone, watching the basin Tian Li had broken while washing the dishes, and sighing in silence...

The next day, after his usual morning workout, Hua Tianyu picked up Wei Xueying and drove to Swan International Tower.

After parking in the garage and getting out of the car, Hua Tianyu, as usual, went to the security office to say hello to Cui Quan.

Cui Quan and he were chatting while walking out of the security office when they suddenly saw a familiar figure entering through the main doors of the building.

It was Lu Siyuan!

Today, he still had two people behind him, but one looked frail and the other was potbellied, so neither seemed to be bodyguards.

Lu Siyuan also saw Hua Tianyu and Cui Quan, and quickly stepped forward.

To Lu Siyuan, Hua Tianyu still remained just Wei Xueying’s driver. But since he wanted to pursue Wei Xueying, he absolutely could not offend anyone around her.

“Hua Tianyu?” Lu Siyuan still remembered his name.

“Good morning, Young Master Lu!” Hua Tianyu greeted him warmly.

Then he tilted his head slightly toward Cui Quan beside him. “Hurry up and greet the God of Wealth!”

“Good morning, Young Master Lu!” Cui Quan immediately grinned when he heard Hua Tianyu’s words and hastily spoke up.

After greeting him, Hua Tianyu kept looking behind Lu Siyuan, and after looking, he simply shook his head.

Seeing this, Lu Siyuan thought Wei Xueying was behind him, so he turned around and looked with Hua Tianyu for a while. Aside from the employees coming in one after another for work, he saw no sign of the person he had in mind.

“What are you looking at?” Lu Siyuan asked in confusion.

“Me? Oh, I’m seeing how many flowers you brought today!” Hua Tianyu replied.

“Ahem... well, I didn’t bring any flowers today,” Lu Siyuan said somewhat awkwardly.

“Oh.” Hua Tianyu continued looking around without pause.

“Anything else?” Lu Siyuan asked strangely, seeing that Hua Tianyu still had not withdrawn his gaze.

“I’m seeing what gift you brought today!” Hua Tianyu answered.

“Um... I didn’t bring a gift today either,” Lu Siyuan replied.

“Ah?” Hua Tianyu finally took his gaze back and looked Lu Siyuan up and down. “You didn’t bring flowers, you didn’t bring a gift—what did you come here for? Do you think that with this face that isn’t even half as handsome as mine, you can just come see our President Wei?”

As he spoke, he draped an arm warmly over Lu Siyuan’s shoulder and whispered, “Brother, a single setback shouldn’t crush a man. Go prepare the flowers and the gift again, and I’ll find a way to get them into our President Wei’s hands!”

“Really?” Lu Siyuan’s eyes lit up, and his freshly dimmed hopes rose again.

“Fake! I’m just messing with you!” Hua Tianyu suddenly dropped the arm around his neck and said solemnly.

Lu Siyuan: “...”

“Cui Quan!” Hua Tianyu called out.

“Tian Ge, what is it?”

“See the guest out.”

“Right.” Cui Quan agreed at once, spread his arms, and started blocking Lu Siyuan, herding him toward the outside.

“Hua Tianyu, Hua Tianyu, listen to me. I’m here today to discuss cooperation, to discuss a contract!” Lu Siyuan hastily explained, caught off guard by Hua Tianyu’s antics.

“Look at me—today I didn’t even bring bodyguards. I only brought people from the marketing department and the legal department. I’m sincerely here to talk about the contract.” Afraid Hua Tianyu would not believe him, Lu Siyuan pointed at the two men behind him to explain.

“Did your two bodyguards climb out of the bathroom?” Hua Tianyu asked with a faint, amused smile as soon as he heard the words bodyguards.

“Hiss—” Lu Siyuan suddenly pictured the miserable state of those two bodyguards, and remembered that the driver before him was far more than just a driver.

According to the two bodyguards’ account afterward, after they entered the restroom, they had clearly attacked Hua Tianyu from the front and rear in a pincer move. Yet before they could even see how the other side had moved, both of them were already on the floor.

The moment they tried to get up, each took a kick—one was sent into the urinal, the other straight into the toilet.

When they got back, the two of them washed for a full day before they finally got the smell off their bodies.

This was a ruthless man. He was probably not only Wei Xueying’s driver, but also her bodyguard!

In that case, Lu Siyuan had even more reason to speak politely to Hua Tianyu.

“Tian Ge! Tian Ge!” Following Cui Quan’s example from earlier, Lu Siyuan quickly changed his manner of address too.

He took a thick document folder from the hands of the potbellied man behind him and said, “Look at this. It’s the contract. I brought the contract too. I really came sincerely to negotiate!”

“Hm?” Hua Tianyu took the contract from him and skimmed it a few times. It really was a very proper contract, with many sections still left blank, waiting to be filled in. No need to ask—that was obviously to be completed after today’s negotiation.

“Oh, since that’s the case, then just wait!” Hua Tianyu put on an air of authority. In any negotiation, the side with the stronger presence always held the initiative.

“Cui Quan, take them to the lounge to wait. When President Wei has time, she can come talk to them.”

“Ahem—” The frail scholar behind Lu Siyuan, Lu Fang, cleared his throat and gave Lu Siyuan a meaningful look.
