Are you suggesting I inherit three wives' households? I'll marry my eldest brother and bec

Chapter 443 Coincidentally

Shen Li slept very soundly, not waking up until 6 p.m. the next day.

As soon as I woke up, I heard a message notification sound from my phone.

—QQ already exists, and this software, unsurprisingly, was something Lu Cheng had planned and invested in in advance. Her Licheng Group even holds a full 50% stake in it.

Shen Li struggled to reach out and pick up the phone that was on the bedside table.

After unlocking, I opened that familiar group chat with my girlfriends, and there were already several messages scrolling through it:

Yao Fen: @Everyone, is anyone still alive? Please say hi, I'm about to be driven crazy by this!

This message was sent half an hour ago, and it was the earliest one in the group.

Immediately following was a message from Lanwei, posted ten minutes earlier: Alive, but not far from death. My brother, that bastard, is inhuman; he tormented me all night.

Xie Mei followed closely behind: Oh my god! I can totally relate. My back is about to break, and I can't even sit up now. I'll never do that again!

Lanwei: @Shen Lilili, why aren't you saying anything? Looks like you were tormented even more than us last night, right?

Xie Mei: That's for sure. We only have one husband, and he's almost at his breaking point. Li Li has three children; she'd probably be too exhausted to get up long ago.

Yao Fen: Hahahaha, this is your lesson! Will you dare to go to KTV and order male models again next time? Let's see if you dare to do it again!

Shen Li looked at the messages in the group chat, her lips twitching. Forcing herself to remain exhausted, she typed a reply: "You guys all seem to have a lot of energy. I'm practically on my last breath from all this."

Lan Wei replied almost instantly: Thank goodness you're still alive! I thought you were going to be tortured to death by those three big shots.

Shen Li: Don't laugh at me. I feel tired even moving a single finger now. I'll never go to a place like that again. It's left me with psychological trauma.

Yao Fen: Hahaha, it's good that you know you were wrong. This is what happens when you don't listen! By the way, have you heard? The Platinum K Mall we went to yesterday was closed for rectification!

Shen Li was stunned when she saw the message. She quickly typed a message asking: What? Platinum Joy has been shut down for restructuring? Who did it? How dare they?

Lan Wei: Besides your three big shots, who else has this kind of power? She's probably furious, so she directly had Platinum Joy shut down. I have to say, her possessiveness is just too strong.

Shen Li: ... She knew it; it must have been them.

—These three petty men actually wanted to vent their anger on a small shopping mall.

For the next three days, Shen Li did not go downstairs. She stayed in her bedroom on the sixth floor every day and rarely even left the room.

Lu Sheng and Lu Zhou gave the same answer to the public, only saying that she had accidentally caught a cold and needed to rest.

But only Shen Li herself knew that these three days had been nothing short of "torture" for her.

—My legs feel weak and trembling when I walk, my whole body aches, and even raising my hand to comb my hair is difficult.

Having no other choice, she could only repeatedly assure Lu Cheng and Lu Sheng.

Her tone was earnest yet tinged with grievance: "I really know I was wrong. I'll never go to those kinds of places again, and I'll never be curious about them again."

In fact, it wasn't just Shen Li; Yao Fen, Xie Mei, and Lan Wei had also been having a tough time these past few days.

Yao Fen and Xie Mei's husbands were summoned to the company by Lu Cheng and given a dressing down.

His tone was stern, every word sharp and pointed, essentially warning them to keep a close eye on their wives and stop following Lan Wei's reckless actions.

When the couple got home, they pleaded with their wives to tone it down: "Please, my goodness, stop causing trouble! If this keeps up, I'm going to lose my job!"

Yao Fen and Xie Mei exchanged glances, speechless. Though they harbored resentment, they could only suppress it.

After all, Lan Wei was the culprit in this matter, so they couldn't blame each other.

Platinum Joy K, which had been targeted earlier, was only able to reopen after three days of rectification.

Who did this?

It's obvious without even guessing, it's Lu Zhou.

Lu Zhou is now the top leader of Shenzhen—the Party Secretary of the city.

In Shenzhen, if he says, "This area needs to be rectified," no one will dare not carry it out.

Of course, Lu Zhou's ability to become the municipal party secretary at such a young age was inseparable from the support and encouragement of Lu Cheng and Ming Xiangyang.

—Lu Cheng provided financial and resource support, Ming Xiangyang used his connections to make connections, and Lu Zhou's outstanding abilities and meticulous thinking enabled them to have a smooth journey.

Therefore, over the years, no matter where Lu Zhou was transferred to, he always managed to boost local development.

Every step was taken steadily and surely, leaving behind only brilliant achievements.

He has an excellent reputation and high prestige among the people. The only thing that causes a lot of discussion is the rumor that he is "infertile".

The origin of this rumor is rather unfortunate.

At work, Lu Zhou was outstanding in appearance and had a remarkable demeanor.

He graduated from a prestigious university and is young and promising. There are countless people who want to introduce him to potential partners, from colleagues to superiors.

He couldn't very well openly admit to being gay—after all, he was on a political path.

If this kind of thing is exposed, it will only ruin his career.

Left with no other option, he had to make up an excuse.

He claimed to the public that he was injured as a child and was impotent.

I don't want to delay another girl's life, nor do I want to ruin someone else's happiness.

Even so, people kept introducing him to potential partners.

Some even bluntly stated, "As long as I can be with Secretary Lu, even if it's just a spiritual Platonic relationship, I'm willing."

Coincidentally, his elder brother Lu Sheng faced the same situation in the army.

Lu Sheng gave the same excuse to others, declining all blind date arrangements.

In the end, his former boss couldn't bear to see him all alone and even thought of introducing him to a woman with a child. He earnestly advised him, "Having a child by your side means you'll have someone to take care of you when you get old, and you'll have someone to rely on."

Lu Sheng could only politely decline with a smile, his tone sincere: "Thank you for your concern, leader. I have three nephews, and we get along even better than with my own sons. When I get old, they will take care of me."

Seeing his resolute attitude, the old leader knew that he had made up his mind and could only give up helplessly.

Lu Sheng is now a colonel.

At his age, to have reached this position, he was already a prodigy, someone countless people in the military looked up to.

Of course, none of this came out of thin air. It was all earned step by step, through hard work and dedication on the battlefield and in training. Every honor was soaked in sweat.

Normally, Lu Sheng works in the capital, where his schedule is relatively flexible. These days, he rarely goes on missions personally.

The focus of their work has shifted more towards talent development, with a single-minded commitment to providing the country with more elite troops and contributing to national defense.

As for Shen Li, she rarely goes out and rarely appears in public, so many employees in Lu Cheng's company...

No one knew of her existence, and no one had ever seen this legendary "Madam Lu".

Lu Cheng felt this wouldn't do—his wife should be known by everyone.
