NOVEL NEXT Chapter 143: Being a villain is really fun
guys, 2days ago I noticed that due to some scheduling issues, chapter 139 wasn't posted, so please make sure you read it so you don't miss any important events. my apologies young masters
The double doors swung open, Lu Chengwen, wearing a trench coat and sunglasses, walked in, and all the senior and middle managers immediately stood up and applauded.
Lu Chengwen smiled as he walked to his seat, sat down swaggeringly, and swayed back and forth, "How is it? Are you all satisfied with this month's salary?"
A senior executive excitedly said, "Our parents aren't as good as Mr. Lu!"
Another senior executive said, "We received the highest salary ever, the whole group is praising Mr. Lu's greatness!"
Another senior executive said, "Now the entire group, all employees are praising Mr. Lu's generosity. The employees are enthusiastic about working overtime! Our stock price is stable!"
Li Meiqin felt a little ashamed, but still said excitedly:
"Mr. Lu, the salary increased by 20%, although the expenses have increased, but the cohesion within the entire group has reached an unprecedented level! Congratulations, you've been voted the most handsome boss in the world by our female employees!"
Lu Chengwen laughed loudly, slammed his hand on the table, and said boldly, "I don't have anything else! I just have money!"
The meeting ended.
Lu Chengwen lay on his $2 million recliner, and Jiang Shihan gave him a head massage.
Li Meiqin, wearing sexy black stockings, stood in front of him and started reporting:
"This month, our group made a gross profit of 3.33459 billion; internal operating expenses were 400 million; we repaid 5.7396 billion in bank debts; investment expenditure was 8.9521 billion...Excluding the upfront expenses and historical debts for various projects, this month's net profit was 2.81154 billion...Actual cash received was 1.4 billion..."
"Okay, that's enough."
Lu Chengwen sat up, "I only made a dozen billion a month?!"
Li Meiqin said, "Our new investment is almost 1 billion, this money will be profitable in the future, and we also gave the bank almost 600 million. The finance department has conducted an assessment and believes that our revenue and expenditure situation is sound."
Li Meiqin said so, but she was very depressed.
Capitalists are awesome, they make almost 2.8 billion a month, and they're still not satisfied.
At this rate, Da Sheng Group's total annual profit will reach around 30 billion.
But it's also difficult, the outflow is not small, the money spent each month is around 1 billion, and they have to repay the bank a portion of the money every month.
However, the thing she found most difficult to say was the project in the shantytown.
All the data reported just now was not related to the shantytown project.
The shantytown project had to be separately accounted for as a separate project, that was Li Meiqin's bottom line.
Otherwise, Da Sheng Group would be losing money at a rate of burning money, the accounts would look extremely bad.
Not even mentioning Lu Chengwen, she, a mere employee, would feel heartbroken just seeing the accounting data.
"Did the finance department find anything about that money?"
Li Meiqin was stunned.
I'm telling you about the group's overall profit, and you're concerned about that one or two billion corruption case?
But the boss asked she had to answer.
"It's strange, my team also checked this account, and it's all been reconciled in recent days, there's no problem."
Lu Chengwen laughed, "Set up a new department within us."
Lu Chengwen started giving instructions: "Let Deputy Director Liu Zheng be the head, specifically responsible for the accounting and financial supervision of the shantytown project."
"Yes!"
"Draft a group approval document, effective immediately, Liu Zheng is officially appointed as chairman of the Discipline Inspection and Supervision Commission, mainly responsible for supervising the progress and accounting expenditures of the shantytown project. He has the supervisory authority and special authorization command authority over all the finance, investment, procurement, and property management within the group. He can report any issues directly to me."
Li Meiqin didn't expect Lu Chengwen to be so ruthless.
Once this department was established, the entire group would understand that Lu Chengwen was going after internal spies.
Liu Zheng's power would instantly become second only to the head, making him the third-in-command of the Da Sheng Group.
Li Meiqin said: "His team..."
"He can figure that out himself." Lu Chengwen said, "You decide on the personnel he needs, as long as they're not indispensable, give them to him. Provide him with all the expenses he needs."
Li Meiqin went out.
She was very curious, Lu Chengwen didn't ask a single question about the shantytown project!
This crazy money-burning machine seemed to have been forgotten by him.
Ordinary capitalists, with a project that was burning their money like crazy, would be on pins and needles, constantly asking about it.
But Lu Chengwen didn't seem to care at all.
He was more concerned about the internal affairs of the group, and the basic profit situation.
What the heck?!
At this rate, the group's internal funds would not be able to keep up with the burning speed of the shantytown project.
This is just the initial stage of the project, if it reaches the middle stage, I'm afraid the money earned here will have to be immediately used to fill the gap there, and it won't be enough!
If Lu Chengwen can't get money from other places, a large amount of cash, hundreds of billions of cash, this project might drag down the entire Da Sheng Group.
Everyone was happy.
Everyone got a raise, her annual salary was as high as 20 million, plus internal bonuses.
At the current salary level, she might be able to achieve a small goal in a year.
But!
Can Da Sheng Group survive a year?
Li Meiqin walked out of the door with a heavy heart, just in time to meet Leng Qingqiu.
She immediately stood up straight, and smiled slightly, "Ms. Leng."
"Hmm." Leng Qingqiu was also polite: "Meiqin, you seem to have lost weight."
"Ah? Is that so?"
This kind of workplace courtesy was commonplace, but it had a completely different meaning when the chairman and president of Qianfeng Group, Leng Qingqiu, was polite to her.
Li Meiqin was very excited, "Actually, I haven't lost much weight."
Leng Qingqiu said, "Don't work too hard. Chengwen just likes to make his subordinates work hard. I know the shantytown project has worn you out."
Li Meiqin felt like she had found a kindred spirit, "Ms. Leng, you're Mr. Lu's confidante, please talk to him. He doesn't seem to care about the shantytown project at all. I'm exhausted, but the account for the shantytown will be explored sooner or later."
"Okay, I'll talk to him."
"Thank you, Ms. Leng."
…
Lu Chengwen lay half-reclined in the chair, with his arms around his beautiful secretary.
"Shihan, you seem to have grown."
"You're so annoying, Mr. Lu, how could I have!"
"Let me check."
"Hehehe...Mr. Lu, you're so perverted, doing bad things in the office."
"Wow, Shihan, your stockings are so beautiful today, so sexy."
"Hehehe, I think Li's stockings are more sexy, Mr. Lu has been staring at them, haven't you?"
"Oh? You caught me?"
"Hmph, Ms. Li has been asking when you'll be back to the company lately. As long as you're in the company, she's always running to your office. Haven't you noticed?"
"Hmm, she keeps nagging me about the shantytown project, saying there's not enough money, and asking me to plan."
"Hee hee, not only that! She knew you were coming to the company today, so she specially dressed up. She even did her hair and changed into stockings with patterns. Don't you know what she means?"
Lu Chengwen was stunned, "Really?"
"Look at you smiling, it's true, I wouldn't lie to you! I think Mr. Lu is becoming more and more charming lately, and a lot of girls from other companies like you. But, you know, ordinary employees wouldn't dare to throw themselves at you."
"Why?!" Lu Chengwen said, "I don't mind!"
"Haha, because Ms. Li minds!"
"She minds?! What's going on?"
"Everyone knows that Ms. Li likes you, so whoever dares to go above and beyond and try to flatter you is asking for death!"
"Then you're not afraid?"
"I'm not afraid!" Jiang Shihan pulled Lu Chengwen's tie, "I'm the favorite in Mr. Lu's eyes, Li Meiqin wouldn't dare offend me!"
Lu Chengwen burst out laughing, "Being a villain is so damn cool! Long Aotian is just being stubborn, why be the main male lead when there's no need? He has to have a harem and then readers complain about him, they abandon the book whenever they feel like it! Look at me, being a villain, I eat the best food, drink the best wine, enjoy all the evil money, wahahaha!"
"Why do you always call yourself a villain?"
"Because I am one!"
"Oh, Mr. Lu, don't be like this, I'll scream if you do this!"
"Hahaha, you scream! You scream yourself hoarse, no one will come to save you!"
At this moment, the door opened, and Leng Qingqiu stood at the doorway, calmly watching the scene inside.
Jiang Shihan quickly stood up, stood straight, and lowered her head slightly, "Ms. Leng."
"Hmm." Leng Qingqiu replied coldly.
Lu Chengwen adjusted his clothes, "Oh, hehe, this...uh...we're discussing work."
Leng Qingqiu looked at Lu Chengwen.
Lu Chengwen coughed, "That...Shihan, like I just said, arrange those tasks for me. You must make sure they're carried out strictly and thoroughly."
"Yes, Mr. Lu, I understand."
"Hmm, go ahead."
Jiang Shihan blushed and didn't leave, she kept winking at Lu Chengwen.
"What's wrong?" Lu Chengwen asked softly.
"Bra...bra, mine."
"Ah? Oh." Lu Chengwen only noticed then that he was still holding Jiang Shihan's underwear.
Lu Chengwen whispered, "What's going on?! How can you be so careless?"
Jiang Shihan blushed, "It's because you said you wanted to show me how to unhook my bra with one hand through my clothes!"
Jiang Shihan snatched her underwear, apologetically nodded to Leng Qingqiu, and ran away without looking back.
Lu Chengwen was extremely embarrassed and said sincerely, "It's just...work is too tiring! My employees...are very hard-working, to...increase their after-work activities, I just...did a magic trick. What do you need?"
Leng Qingqiu hadn't said a word, but now she walked over, "I thought I hadn't contacted you for a few days, and you'd be angry."
"Not angry!" Lu Chengwen quickly said, "How could I be angry with you? You just officially took over Qianfeng, you must have a lot of things to do, I understand."
Leng Qingqiu looked at Lu Chengwen, "Do you know, I'm even more sad that you're not angry."
"Why would you be sad if I'm not angry?"
Leng Qingqiu said, "Because it means you don't care about me at all. Even if I don't contact you for a few days, you don't feel anything at all."
Lu Chengwen thought about it, "Isn't that a good thing? Now Qianfeng is yours to call the shots. Ms. Leng, if there's a chance to make money, please take care of me!"
"Chengwen, I don't like you talking to me like this."
"What's wrong?" Lu Chengwen smiled.
"You...I like your old self."
"My old self?"
"You..." Leng Qingqiu bit her lip, "You used to send me so many messages every day; you used to send me flowers and gifts every day; you used to wait for me to get off work at your company every day; you used to invite me to dinner with you every day..."
Lu Chengwen laughed, "Just hearing this is tiring enough. Qingqiu, everything is back on track. You're the real boss of Qianfeng now, from now on, Qianfeng is yours. You have everything!"
"But I want you!"
"You already have Qianfeng, what else do you need me for?!" Lu Chengwen said with a smile, "Big sis, Qianfeng! A billion-dollar group! It's yours! You...you're free! Qianfeng is yours, your dad is out, I won't bother you anymore, you...you should be happy! Now is your time to shine!"
"I've said it before!" Leng Qingqiu suddenly became angry, with a firmness mixed with anger: "Qianfeng is mine, but I am yours!"
