Chapter 104: Chapter 104: My Man
"I’m fine. That was many years ago. Besides, he’s doing very well for himself now. I just never expected that because of that initial startup capital, he’d actually set aside a lot of shares in his company for me. He’s even been telling everyone that I’m the company’s other owner."
"So, that’s why Director Li calls you Young Master Lu?"
"Yeah. I only found out about it recently myself. And this card is a symbol of my position at that company."
Listening to Lu Cheng, Shen Nian’s gaze fell back on the card she had taken out.
Seeing Shen Nian remain silent for a long moment, Lu Cheng couldn’t help but start to feel a little anxious.
"Xiao Nian, what’s wrong?"
Shen Nian shook her head, then looked at Lu Cheng with a serious expression, as if she needed to get to know him all over again.
"I’m just suddenly realizing... I think I’ve really married an incredible man!"
Shen Nian looked at Lu Cheng, and thinking about what she’d just said, she couldn’t help but laugh.
’It’s a strange feeling, like I’ve suddenly become a rich woman.’
"There’s nothing ’sudden’ about it. Your man has always been incredible!"
When Lu Cheng heard her words, he knew Shen Nian wasn’t negatively affected by what he’d just told her, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
Shen Nian’s eyes flew wide and her jaw dropped when she heard Lu Cheng’s response.
’Unbelievable! Since when did her Lu Cheng get so full of himself!’
’But still, a confident Lu Cheng like this... he practically glows! He’s dazzlingly handsome!’
"That’s right. My man *is* incredible!"
Shen Nian said, smiling at Lu Cheng. When she finished, she curled the corner of her mouth, looking utterly proud.
Seeing Shen Nian’s playful expression, Lu Cheng smiled fondly. His heart soared at her calling him "my man."
"Okay, so based on what you just said, you’re one of the owners of a company. But what does that have to do with Director Li? He’s the Director of the Education Bureau, not the Bureau of Industry and Commerce!"
"The company is currently running a project to support educational initiatives. And right now, that project is being implemented right here in our province."
’Lu Cheng knew perfectly well that the company prioritizing their province for the project must have been a decision his good friend made on his account. He was naturally very grateful.’
’After being away for so many years, Lu Cheng naturally hoped his hometown would flourish. And for the people there to prosper, education was the most crucial component—one that could not be overlooked.’
"I see."
Shen Nian nodded. ’An education project, right here in their province... The resources would surely be limited, and who they ended up with would depend on one’s personal capabilities.’
’Li Zhe must have known about the project and was probably trying to secure it. So when he ran into a key figure like Lu Cheng at his own office, of course he had to try his best to curry favor.’
’After all, if that project really landed in L County, his prospects for promotion as Director of the Education Bureau would look very promising!’
’When you looked at it that way, Director Li Zhe wasn’t a fool at all. The man was actually quite shrewd!’
’No wonder he looked so ecstatic after getting that promise from Lu Cheng in the end!’
"So, that good friend of yours... is he here right now?"
