Mr. Lu, Mr. Su is being coquettish again!

Su Nanqin glanced at it briefly and realized that this matter was anything but simple, with considerable public opinion pointing directly at the Lu Group.

If we dig deeper, even the construction site accident is not simple, and may even seem like a deliberate design.

Lu's Group is just a newly established building materials group. It has developed rapidly in the past two months, but no matter what, no one would make a big fuss over a newly established group that has not yet gained a foothold.

It even caused such a big commotion.

Su Nanqin closed her laptop and tapped the screen with her slender fingers.

It seems someone has already set their sights on Lu Fang.

This incident was both a warning and a test from the other party.

He was testing whether Su Nanqin would lend a hand, testing Lu Fang's position in Su Nanqin's heart, and testing whether Lu Fang was qualified to be a weakness.

Su Nanqin frowned, recalling Lu Fang's reaction last night—he still wouldn't say anything even after all this…

I don't know why, but I'm inexplicably a little unhappy.

The access screen for MG was opened, and Su Nanqin looked at the other end of the screen: "Find a way to suppress the public opinion about the Lu Group. Also, no matter what method you use, don't let outsiders find out that the Su Group was involved."

Hongying opened the information permissions and looked at the screen: "Yes, boss."

"Investigate the forces behind this incident and recall half of the subsidiary's staff to headquarters to await further instructions."

While answering, Hongying rapidly typed commands through the terminal, "Yes. Ah! Call back half the members?"

"Hmm," Su Nanqin replied calmly.

Su Nanqin wouldn't make a big fuss unless there were special circumstances, and Hongying also sensed something: "Yes, subordinate obeys."

The image on the screen gradually disappeared from Su Nanqin's sight, and Su Nanqin raised his hand to rub his temples.

Lu Fang returned in the evening, his face still showing undeniable fatigue, but he looked much better.

After all, the public opinion issue was resolved by noon, and the rest was up to Lu Fang's fate. Su Nanqin couldn't be too obvious.

"I saw the news." Su Nanqin came downstairs and naturally sat in the other person's lap.

"Aren't you cold?"

"It's not cold." Su Nanqin has been a bit clingy to Lu Fang lately, probably because Lu Fang is too busy.

Su Nanqin always liked to wander around the house wearing Lu Fang's shirts, because the shirts had Lu Fang's unique nicotine scent mixed with the smell of tobacco.

"I spoil you."

"I'll only believe you if you kiss me," Su Nanqin thought to himself. Otherwise, why would I help you smooth over that somewhat tricky public opinion behind your back?

He spent over a billion to smooth over and suppress public opinion, and now even if he bought Lu Fang himself, he can't afford to pay it back.

Lu Fang looked at the person in his arms and recalled the public opinion that had been so intense in the morning but had disappeared by noon.

A smile played on her lips. "Really? You'll believe me just from a kiss, my little princess?"

Su Nanqin really liked it when Lu Fang called him "Little Princess." It was an affectionate way of addressing him. He looked proud and aloof, but he was secretly overjoyed.

"Then give me two kisses."

The person in my arms has a sweet smile, is soft and gentle, and is easily satisfied.

Even when everyone else didn't believe Lu Fang and doubted him, he looked at him earnestly and sincerely and said that two kisses would make him believe.

Believe that he didn't fabricate anything, believe that he didn't do those things.

Lu Fang had mixed feelings. What kind of luck did he have to meet such a good person as Su Nanqin?

Before Su Nanqin could react, Lu Fang picked her up and bounced her around like a child. "Ah, put me down... I'm afraid of heights, Lu Fang..."

Lu Fang put his arm around his waist, kissed him twice, and then pulled him into his arms.

Her heart and eyes were overflowing with uncontrollable affection, but the words that came out were somewhat clumsy and even childish: "I love you, baby, I like you so much..."

Lu Fang couldn't express his feelings, regardless of whether Su Nanqin had helped him behind the scenes in what happened at noon today.

He couldn't suppress his overwhelming feelings of liking and love.

Su Nanqin was embarrassed by Lu Fang's sudden display of affection.

She obediently straddled his lap, her face flushed, and said, "Didn't we already tell you?"

"Don't you like listening?"

"I like it..." Su Nanqin said, sounding unusually awkward.

"Then I won't listen. I'll prove it to you."

The matter is not over yet. Although public opinion has been suppressed, the fact remains that an accident occurred.

Lu Fang was not summoned because there was no conclusive evidence. After all, the other party's purpose seemed to be simply to use public opinion to bring down Lu Fang.

Therefore, the framing was not very sophisticated.

Even with no business experience, Lu Fang could tell that he had been thoroughly outmaneuvered this time.

Public opinion had already been created, and even if it was suppressed in time, it still had a huge impact on Lu's Group, a rising company.

Lu Fang now has to grit his teeth and get through this, otherwise everything will be in vain.

Looking at the sluggish investigation data on the table and the plummeting Lu's shares, Lu Fang rubbed his temples.

"Damn it, you fence-sitter." Shan Yu cursed as he pushed open the door.

"What's wrong?" Lu Fang asked.

"That grandson of the Gu family, he made the plan sound so good before, but then he turned around and said that the funds were not enough and needed to be considered." Shan Yu plopped down on the leather sofa opposite him.

He crossed his legs, grabbed an apple without washing it, and started eating it, all the while cursing in the most elegant Chinese style: "Damn it, just because the Lu family was temporarily tricked, they've started to act arrogantly. They were the ones begging for cooperation in the first place."

"Alright, what's the use of scolding? The key is to salvage the situation." Lu Fang had a headache.

"They're in the wrong, and I'm not even allowed to say a few words of criticism?" Shan Yu, who was running a project, was seething with anger. He took another bite and started muttering to himself.

"Are you a child? Do I have to coax you? They're in the wrong." Lu Fang threw a document at him. "If you don't want to run around to projects, then take some people to the construction site and take another look."

"Tch." Shan Yu munched on an apple and staggered out.

The phone rang; it was Ms. Wang.

"Speak, what is it now, dear lady?" Lu Fang leaned back.

"Come back tonight, I have something to ask you."

Wang Yilan rarely gets straight to the point.

Lu Fang had a bad feeling. "What is it? I won't go back unless it's something important, and I won't go back for the blind date either."

"Ugly boy, whether you come back or not is not up to you!" Lu Chengze's voice came through the receiver.

Wang Yilan also started playing the bad cop, saying, "Today is New Year's Day, come back and spend the New Year with us."

Today is New Year's Day, and I originally planned to spend the New Year with Su Nanqin.

He hadn't thought things through properly for his previous birthdays, and this time he didn't want to leave her alone at home again.

For some reason, even after being together for so long, Su Nanqin always gave him the feeling of being alone.

It seems I've never heard him mention his family. He has a home he doesn't want to go back to, but what about Su Nanqin?

Ultimately, unable to withstand Ms. Wang's urging, and feeling guilty, Lu Fang decided to go over and make up an excuse before rushing home.

As soon as the car entered the villa's front yard, Su Nanqin called.

Su Nanqin rarely calls Lu Fang while he is working; he is very tactful in his affection but not clingy.

"Hello, Nan Nan," Lu Fang answered.

"Lu Fang, when are you coming back?" Su Nanqin's slightly coquettish voice came from the other end of the phone.

"I have something to take care of for now, but I'll be back, baby."

"If you don't come back, I'll abandon you." Su Nanqin's tone was somewhat willful.

Lu Fang opened the car door, saying helplessly, "Okay, okay, Lu Fang wouldn't dare."

"Son, who are you talking to? You seem so happy." Wang Yilan came over and naturally took his hand, looking on with a gossipy expression.

"Colleague," Lu Fang said without hesitation.

"If you're going to lie, at least be sincere," Wang Yilan said dismissively.

Lu Fang looked towards the hall, where Lu Chengze sat in the center of the sofa.

Suddenly, an idea popped into my head: this trip couldn't be in vain, could it? Since I'm here, I might as well give them a heads-up about Su Nanqin.

"Say it, why did you call me back?" Lu Fang sat down on the other side of the sofa.

"You're so disrespectful. I can't call you back unless there's something wrong." Wang Yilan placed the plate of cut fruit on the table.

"Speak, what's going on with the group?" Lu Chengze, who hadn't spoken since Lu Fang entered, finally spoke.

Lu Fang paused in peeling the orange, then looked at the other person.

"You are my son." Lu Chengze sighed, seemingly in resignation.

Even Wang Yilan, who is usually quite carefree, was different from usual. Instead, she looked at her son, whose eyes were filled with unconcealed exhaustion, and felt a pang of heartache.

"Xiao Fang, Mom knows that Lu Yuan's matter has always been a knot in your heart." Wang Yilan paused for a moment, then took Lu Fang's hand.

"Your parents don't want to pressure you, but all these years have passed, and you just leave whenever you want, and change your address whenever you want, and we've never stopped you. But have you really considered your parents' feelings?" Wang Yilan gently took the orange from the other person's hand and started peeling it.

"I..." This matter is a knot, Wang Yilan suddenly brought it up, and Lu Fang choked up a little.
