As soon as Lu Bochuan returned to the company, a group of board directors arrived uninvited.
"Haha, Bochuan, we've all seen the news about Repulse Bay. Well, let's just forget about that thirty billion."
"Yes, Bochuan. Although Mrs. Lu's actions seemed wrong at the time, looking at it now, it's a blessing in disguise for the company."
The two directors who spoke were the very ones Ren Qiuyang had incited first.
After they spoke, the other directors chimed in, not only stating they would no longer demand the thirty billion but also singing Shu Qingqing's praises.
Now they were all rejoicing that they hadn't invested in the Repulse Bay project back then; otherwise, not only would they have made no money, but they would have lost a massive sum.
The group offered a few more flattering remarks. Lu Bochuan gave some perfunctory replies and had Zhou Zheng see them out.
After seeing them off, Zhou Zheng thought about telling Shu Qingqing the news, but then decided against it. This kind of thing had to be delivered by the boss himself.
He returned to the office. "Mr. Lu, you should hurry and tell your wife the good news."
Lu Bochuan, who was just about to make the call: ...
Lu Bochuan: "I know."
Zhou Zheng quickly closed the door and left.
After taking Lu Bochuan's call, Shu Qingqing immediately shared the good news with Shu Jingcheng and Wen Xin.
The two were naturally thrilled. After chatting for a while, Shu Jingcheng suddenly said, "Although this matter is resolved, I imagine many directors are still secretly dissatisfied with what Qingqing did back then. This will more or less affect Qingqing's image in the company."
Shu Qingqing comforted him, "It's fine, Dad. I'm not in the company anyway, so it doesn't matter if it affects my image or not."
"You and Bochuan are one entity. If your image suffers, it means Bochuan's authority in the company will be undermined." Shu Jingcheng suddenly thought of something. "Nannan, you mentioned before that the Lu Group has its own car brand, right?"
Shu Qingqing nodded.
Shu Jingcheng: "Perfect. The patent I hold is for battery energy storage. With this new technology, the range of new energy vehicles will be greatly improved. Tell Bochuan that Dad is going to donate this patent to the Lu Group for free, under your name."
Shu Qingqing was surprised. "Is this the patent you mentioned before... the one worth a hundred million?"
Shu Jingcheng nodded.
Shu Qingqing immediately said, "No, Dad. This is the result of years of your hard work and research."
Wen Xin patted her. "Just listen to your dad. Your dad's things are yours. Selling it to someone else isn't as good as giving it to our own son-in-law. Besides, since the thirty billion has already been saved, this one hundred million is nothing. This way, no one in the company will ever dare to say a single bad word about you."
Shu Qingqing had grown up lonely, but now, she finally experienced the profound love of her parents.
Meanwhile, on the other side.
When Ren Qiuyang learned that the Repulse Bay project had blown up and that the directors had all run to Lu Bochuan to praise Shu Qingqing, she was so furious that she smashed several cups.
Her assistant spoke cautiously, "Although this incident didn't work out, you are now a shareholder of the Lu Group. There will definitely be chances to catch Shu Qingqing's mistakes in the future."
"You're right. We have plenty of time." Ren Qiuyang finally calmed down. "By the way, go find out if Lu Bochuan has submitted the evidence regarding the foundation to the authorities."
Ren Qiuyang was about to say more when her phone suddenly rang.
She answered it, but just as she called out "Dad," Father Ren began cursing at her aggressively.
"Don't call me Dad! You bastard! Didn't you say it was foolproof? The authorities have already sent people to investigate the foundation! Get back here right now and figure out a solution!"
The call disconnected, leaving Ren Qiuyang stunned in place.
What kind of connections did Lu Bochuan find to be even more powerful than Peng Junhui's second uncle?
No, she was the main person in charge of the foundation. Once investigated, she definitely wouldn't be able to escape involvement. She had to find a scapegoat quickly.
Digging her nails tightly into her palms, Ren Qiuyang suddenly looked at her assistant.
Three days later, Ren Qiuyang's assistant was taken away by the relevant authorities.
Ren Qiuyang originally thought she could rest easy, but the very next day, she was taken away as well.
After hearing the whole story about Ren Qiuyang, Shu Qingqing couldn't help but laugh. "So, Ren Qiuyang's assistant reported her, not only providing a massive amount of evidence of Ren Qiuyang's fake charity work but also confessing that Ren Qiuyang was the one who helped Li Dagang escape back then?"
Lu Bochuan nodded. "Ren Qiuyang's actions are enough to constitute fraud, and coupled with her helping Li Dagang evade the law, her sentence shouldn't be less than ten years."
Shu Qingqing: "She brought this upon herself. You reap what you sow."
Now that Li Dagang had been caught and Ren Qiuyang was under investigation, the annoying troubles were finally all resolved.
The two stood quietly by the window, watching the sunset.
Lu Bochuan hugged Shu Qingqing from behind, leaned close to her ear, and asked, "What day is it?"
Shu Qingqing immediately realized what he was asking.
With her ears turning slightly red, Shu Qingqing whispered, "It ended this morning."
Lu Bochuan scooped her up into his arms and started heading upstairs.
Shu Qingqing patted him. "It's not even night yet!"
But Lu Bochuan didn't stop his steps.
Shu Qingqing had no choice but to bury her face in his chest.
Just as they reached the stairs, Wen Xin happened to walk over. "Nannan, look at this... Oh, Bochuan, why are you carrying Nannan? Is Nannan feeling unwell?"
Shu Qingqing had to make Lu Bochuan put her down.
Wen Xin immediately reached out to feel her forehead.
Shu Qingqing quickly said, "No, Mom... I'm not feeling unwell. Just now, I was just... too lazy to walk, so I had Lu Bochuan carry me."
"I see." Wen Xin nodded, pulling Shu Qingqing over to sit on the sofa. "Nannan, come help Mom see if this piece of jewelry suits me."
Lu Bochuan stood silently for a moment before having to go to the study alone.
And this scene happened to be witnessed by Shu Jingcheng.
That night, after Wen Xin came out of the shower, Shu Jingcheng pulled her to sit on the bed. "Xin'er, we've been living here for a while now. Let's move out in a couple of days."
Wen Xin frowned. "It hasn't been that long, has it? Jingcheng, we finally found Nannan. Don't you want to spend more time with her?"
"I do, but with the two of us here, it's inevitable that we'll disturb the couple." Shu Jingcheng recounted the incident from the evening.
Wen Xin let out a gasp. "You mean, Bochuan was carrying Qingqing because they were going to... be intimate?"
Shu Jingcheng nodded. As a man, he could naturally see it clearly. It was just that Wen Xin had been entirely focused on their daughter at the time and hadn't noticed.
Wen Xin felt remorseful for a few seconds. "Look at me... sigh."
Shu Jingcheng patted her hand. "So it's better if we move out."
Wen Xin: "But..."
Shu Jingcheng: "We won't move far. We'll just buy a house nearby."
Shu Jingcheng was absolutely right. With them living here, Lu Bochuan indeed had to hold back a lot.
Although Wen Xin was reluctant to part, she finally agreed.
