Proud Goddess Falls in Love with Me

Chu Mengyao suddenly grabbed the fruit knife into her hand, "Can I stab him now?"

The pharmaceutical developer was startled, then smiled and said, "President, you can't joke about this kind of thing. This man is our benefactor. If you really want to stab someone, just stab me!"

Chu Mengyao furrowed her brows, "What do you mean by that?"

The pharmaceutical developer excitedly said, "I followed what this young guy suggested, switching the order of capillaries and dried lotus leaves, and as a result, the production line successfully produced the medicine. Our problem is solved, and the medicine can be successfully launched on the market!"

Chu Mengyao was shocked, and looked at Lu Chuan disbelievingly, "He actually solved it? But... he only glanced at the prescription. How did he do that?"

Lu Chuan showed a proud expression, as if expecting recognition. "So, do you believe me now?"

Chu Mengyao's face was stubborn. "You... you just got lucky!"

The pharmaceutical developer approached Lu Chuan with a humble face, "Young man, I misunderstood you earlier. The ease with which you spotted our problem is truly amazing."

"Could you explain to us why swapping the order of these two herbs can make the medicine effective?"

Although Chu Mengyao didn't want to give Lu Chuan the satisfaction, she still eagerly pricked up her ears and moved closer.

Lu Chuan said with a smile, "Once capillaries are heated, they inhibit the medicinal properties of dried lotus leaves. Although it's not apparent, the impact is still there. In small-scale production, this influence is not significant, but on the production line, it's quite substantial. With such incompatibility, it would be strange if the medicine worked."

The pharmaceutical developer had an epiphany, slapping his thigh. "So that's why! Thank you, young man, for enlightening us. I've learned something new today!"

Lu Chuan gave a slight smile, "No big deal."

He looked at Chu Mengyao, "Why did you press your ear against my face?"

Chu Mengyao quickly stood up straight, brazenly saying, "Who pressed against you? Stop talking nonsense."

Lu Chuan's face was teasing, "You are pretty, so whatever you say goes."

"Hmph." Chu Mengyao glared at him, then turned to the pharmaceutical developer, "You can go out now."

The pharmaceutical developer nodded knowingly and quickly left the office.

Only then did Chu Mengyao let go of her presidential demeanor, glanced at Lu Chuan, and said, "Thank you."

Lu Chuan replied with a smile, "It's me who should be thanking you. If it weren't for you asking Sister Hong for help, I might already be dead."

Chu Mengyao hurriedly explained, "I asked Sister Hong to step in because of Grandpa's face. Don't overthink it."

Lu Chuan laughed heartily, "Rest assured, I'm not so egotistical to think you've fallen for me."

Chu Mengyao changed the subject, "It's a good thing that you survived Lin Hu's clutches. Now you should realise the might of the Long family. Lin Hu, the likes of him, is just one of the Long family's least significant thugs."

"So, we should try not to contact each other in the future. If the Long family's people discover it, the consequences will be unimaginable."

Lu Chuan shook his head, "No, this has only strengthened my determination to help you escape from this sea of suffering."

Chu Mengyao frowned, "Have you lost your mind?"

Lu Chuan said, "The stronger the Long family is, the more aggrieved you'll be after marrying into it. I won't allow such a thing to happen."

He looked at Chu Mengyao, "Even though you don't like me, you gave me your first time; you are my, Lu Chuan's, first woman, and I must take responsibility for you!"

Chu Mengyao's face immediately turned red with embarrassment, "Who is your woman? Can't you stop being so narcissistic?"

Lu Chuan was unfazed, "I will become stronger and stronger, and when that time comes, even Long Tianya will have to bow down before me. I came today to tell you, don't give in before I grow stronger; I won't make you wait too long."

After saying that, he turned around and left Chu Mengyao's office.

Chu Mengyao stood there, dazed for a long time, her mind seemingly preoccupied with thought.

As she came to her senses, she stomped her foot in annoyance, "That bastard, I was hoping he'd treat my cold syndrome again, but he had to say that kind of thing and made me forget all about the important stuff."

After a moment of hesitation, she hurriedly chased after him.

...

Lu Chuan left the office building.

He was about to hail a cab when he saw two familiar figures walking towards him.

His face darkened instantly, "Qin Lan, Liu Kun, this despicable couple!"

Qin Lan was seen clinging to Liu Kun's arm, the pair looking sweet together.

Lu Chuan didn't hesitate and walked straight over to them.

Liu Kun was staring at his cell phone, seeing the news of Lin Hu's tragic death, and said coldly, "Lu Chuan is really lucky, that piece of trash. Lin Hu didn't even get a chance to settle the score with him before dying at the hands of another, what a pity."

Qin Lan looked surprised, "Ah? Who killed Lin Hu?"

Liu Kun said, "They still haven't found out who did it, only that the perpetrator was ruthlessly skilled. Probably some ruthless expert. These kinds of people are not within our reach."

Qin Lan nodded, "So that dog Lu Chuan has got lucky."

Her face was filled with joy as she said, "But this time, my dear has introduced a cooperation project with Blooming Beauty to our Qin family. It's a major company and a big project. It won't be long before our Qin family soars to great heights, and by then, Lu Chuan will be nothing more than a smelly loser in our eyes, not worth caring about."

The Qin family was a third-rate small family in Cloud City, and Qin Lan's father was mediocre and incapable, always shunned at home. Qin Lan too was never favored by the Qin family—otherwise, she wouldn't have ended up with Lu Chuan, a delivery guy, before.

Now that she had ingratiated herself with Liu Kun, she had become the darling of her home, and everyone showed her some respect.

Liu Kun laughed, "That's true. A loser like Lu Chuan will never get to interact with such big companies in his lifetime."

Qin Lan asked again, "By the way, darling, have you ever met the president of Blooming Beauty? I heard she is one of the four great beauties of Cloud City."

Liu Kun shook his head, "This project was introduced by my father; I haven't met the president myself. But to be rated as one of Cloud City's four great beauties, she must be very beautiful."

Qin Lan said, "We'll see if she's beautiful or not when we meet her."

At that moment, Lu Chuan arrived in front of the two and unhesitatingly slapped each of them across the face.

Both were stunned by the slaps.

Qin Lan snapped back to reality, glaring at Lu Chuan and yelled, "Lu Chuan! You idiot! Do you have a death wish?"

Liu Kun clenched his teeth and balled his fists, but knowing he couldn't beat Lu Chuan, he held himself back.

Lu Chuan spoke coldly, "You sent someone after me, and I nearly lost my life. All I did was slap you, what's there for you to feel wronged about?"

Qin Lan's chest heaved. How could she, being slapped by a loser like Lu Chuan, stand it?

But then she heard Liu Kun say, "Qin Lan, don't stoop to the level of such losers. We're here today to discuss cooperation, not to get worked up over him. As long as the deal goes through, he'll be nothing but a fart in our presence!"

Qin Lan nodded, staring at Lu Chuan she said, "Just a brute who resorts to violence, you could never reach our level in your entire life!"

"This is Blooming Beauty Company's territory, and you lowlifes have no right to be here!"

She looked around and shouted out, "Security! Security! Get this trash out of here, he's seriously damaging the company's image!"

The sound of high heels echoed.

Chu Mengyao stood beside Lu Chuan, looking coldly at Qin Lan and Liu Kun, and scolded, "Who allowed you to shout and scream here?"
