The Downtrodden Villain In A Redemption Romance Novel Chapter 56
byChapter 56 Shock
Da, da, da——
Xu Wen tapped the refresh key on the keyboard impatiently, and another incorrectly filled-in data entry questionnaire popped up on the screen.
He scratched his hair in annoyance and dug his fingertips deeply into his hair. This was the nth time today that he had made such a stupid mistake.
It was obviously the simplest option to check, but he made mistakes again and again.
Lu Qingrang’s recent series of operations really made him uneasy.
He remembered that not long ago, the man handed him a bank card with five million in it and let him spend it as he pleased, and he solemnly said that he would help him save money for his wife.
“ding”
Xu Wen reluctantly took out his mobile phone and saw another text message reminder from the bank.
[xx Bank] Your account with the last number 3344 completed the remittance transaction from another bank at 16:28 on December 15th. The amount is the current balance of RMB. He looked at the long series of numbers and tightened his fingers unconsciously.
This is already the third one.
Lu Qingrang has become addicted to playing for money recently!
Xu Wen was going crazy.
He remembered the 10 million bonus promised by the system when it first tempted him to take on the task, and suddenly felt that it wasn’t that much?
After all, the interest on his bank card alone is much higher than his data entry salary.
[System,] he couldn’t help but tease in his heart, [Look at how generous Lu Qingrang is, just a few million.Look at you again, you are a picky Sosou, and you still have to wait for the completion of the task to give me 10 million.You’re not very good at this. Do you want to consider giving me an advance salary increase?】
[Host’s current redemption value: 40%.According to the agreement, rewards will be distributed once upon completion of the task.】The cold electronic sound of the system has no ripples.
[Tsk, how stingy.】Xu Wen curled his lips, 【Do you think I am short of money now?Your bonus is almost losing its appeal.】
[Tip: Failure in the mission will be erased.It is recommended that the host weighs money and life rationally.】
Xu Wen: “…”
Damn, I can’t even make a joke.
He ended the negotiation with the system angrily, and opened the familiar dialog box with a swipe of his finger.
The system is in trouble, but someone will definitely reply to him, although the content of the reply often gives him more headaches.

【Brother Lu!】
[Your hands are faster at typing money than I am at typing on the keyboard.(Maomao was shocked.jpg)]
[Seriously, save some for yourself.】
The phone vibrated quickly.
L: [I am saving my wife’s book.】
Xu Wen looked at this line and scratched his hair helplessly. This was the third time he used this excuse.
He tapped the screen quickly with his fingertips, trying to correct the topic:
[No, this is not the way to save your wife!You have to leave some reserve for yourself, right?Besides, no one would leave all his wife’s books with someone else!】
This time, the other side paused for a moment.
Just when Xu Wen thought he was finally persuaded, the news came——
L：【^_^】
Xu Wen: “…”
Okay, here we go again.
Every time he got to the key point, this person would use this smiley face to fool him, making it clear that he didn’t want to continue the topic.
He stared at the smiling face on the screen, as if he could see Lu Qingrang sitting in front of the computer at the moment, with the corners of his lips slightly raised, and a calm look on his face that said “I know, but I won’t change.”
This person definitely did it on purpose.
L: [I’ve made your favorite corn ribs soup at home, but the heat is still a little low, so I can’t leave.】
snort.
What a terrible subject changing technique.
Even though he knew it was the opponent’s tactic, Xu Wen still stubbornly used an emoticon to send out his last protest:
【(glare.jpg)】
The phone vibrated slightly.
Lu Qing asked the other party to send a photo of the scene very sensibly: in the casserole, the golden corn and ribs slurped happily in the thick soup, and the dense heat almost came to the face through the screen.
……never mind.
Xu Wen silently surrendered.
【(Dooling.jpg)】
The delicious temptation made him temporarily put aside the dispute about his wife Ben, but before he could put down his phone, the next message jumped out:
L: [Go home directly from get off work. I’ll discuss something with you.Be careful on the road.】
This familiar sentence pattern…
There was a “buzz” in Xu Wen’s mind, and he flashed back to that day——
Lu Qingrang used this understatement to throw out the five million bank card.
This person also said this at the time:
“There’s something I think I should tell you.”
Something is wrong.
Twelve out of ten things are wrong.
What kind of bomb is this guy going to drop on him today?
But what could be more explosive than five million?
It can’t be…
“Lu Qing asked someone to assassinate Nangong Chen?”
This outrageous idea was killed by him as soon as it came up.
No, no, no, he, Brother Lu, has always done things according to rules, and he is not a legal person like Nangong Chen!
Xu Wen, what are you thinking about?
He quickly shook his head to clear his mind of all the messy speculations.
Forget it, there’s no point in guessing here.
Anyway, I will get off work in two hours. Whether it is a blessing or a curse, I will find out when I get home.
Click——
Xu Wen opened the door of the rental house furtively.
The aroma of warm food immediately hit my face, dispelling the chill of the winter night.
Lu Qingrang was walking out of the kitchen carrying a soup pot, wearing the apron Xu Wenxin bought with a bear on it tied around his waist.
The stern side face formed a wonderful contrast with the cute plush bear pattern, which made Xu Wen stunned for a moment.
But he quickly remembered the business, immediately put on a straight face, folded his hands and leaned against the door frame, silently asking with his eyes: Tell me, what big news is going to hit me?
Lu Qingrang saw all his little movements, but he just put down the soup pot calmly, and his tone was so natural that it seemed ordinary:
“Come in, wash your hands, and eat.”
Xu Wen’s pretentious posture collapsed instantly.
He closed the door resignedly, took his time changing his shoes, washing his hands, and finally sat down at the dinner table.
When Lu Qingrang pushed the rice and the well-dried soup to his hand and started eating by himself, Xu Wen glanced at him secretly several times and even finished half a bowl of soup. The person opposite was still calm and composed.
He finally couldn’t hold it in any longer and put down the spoon.
“Um…” Xu Wen cleared his throat, “What did you say you wanted to discuss?”
Lu Qingrang paused and gently placed the chopsticks on the edge of the bowl. This subtle movement made the air become solemn for no reason.
He raised his eyes, looking at Xu Wen calmly but seriously.
“Xu Wen, before returning to City A,” he stated in a steady voice, “I plan to establish a new company.”
“Oh, new company, good thing…” Xu Wen nodded subconsciously, with obvious relief in his tone.
The proposal to set up a company sounded perfectly normal, and much more reassuring than the random speculations in his mind.
Lu Qingrang’s eyes always fell on his face, without moving away at all.
He continued in that calm and clear tone, throwing out the real point:
“The company’s legal subject, apparent founder, and technical core will all be me.” He paused deliberately, and then finished the second half of the sentence word by word:
“But the real controlling owner, the largest shareholder with the final decision-making power——”
His voice subtly slowed down here, with a deliberate, weak pause:
“I want to hand it over to you. We will sign an agency agreement. In the place where the industrial and commercial registration and the law can see it, I will bear all risks; but between us, in the agreement that only you and I know, you are the only decision-maker.”
He raised his eyes, with a hint of pleading in his eyes, and asked softly:
“With you watching from behind, I can feel at ease. Are you… willing?”
The trace of relaxation on Xu Wen’s face solidified instantly.
He blinked, as if he couldn’t understand the meaning of these words together.
