Chapter 275: Are You Questioning Me as My Wife? (9)
The call went through. “Madam Mo, what can I do for you?”
His voice was so lazy.
“Did you know that Mo Yuanxiu didn’t attend the public examination today?” Lu Manman asked.
“What?!” The person on the other end raised his voice and seemed to have just jumped out of bed.
“I’m just kidding,” Lu Manman said directly.
“Madam Mo, your joke almost scared me to death.”
“Mo Yuanxiu’s application for a civil servant seems to be very important to you.”
“Don’t ask me. I won’t tell you.” Ye Heng acted like he had his principles.
Lu Manman smiled. After waking up Ye Heng from his slumber, she returned to the topic at hand. “Can you help me investigate Liu Quanzhong? He’s the director of the Planning Bureau.”
“Why are you always involved with the Planning Bureau?!”
“Who knows? There must be a grudge between us in our previous lives,” Lu Manman said directly.
“I think there’s a grudge between us in this lifetime,” Ye Heng said angrily. “I’ll try my best to investigate it for you, but I can’t guarantee that I’ll be able to find anything. This person is actually pretty clean.”
“You know quite a bit!”
“Otherwise, how could we be on both the good and bad sides?”
“But I’m very sure that Liu Quanzhong isn’t a clean official. At least, he has something to do with Klan Corporation,” Lu Manman said.
“Alright, I understand.” Ye Heng pursed his lips. “I really don’t understand why you’re always fighting with the government. Can’t you just focus on doing business?”
Lu Manman could not help but laugh.
They would fight even harder in the future, and this was just a light touch.
“Oh, right, Lu Manman,” Ye Heng called out.
“Mm?”
“How are you and Ah Xiu?”
“What?”
“On the bed,” Ye Heng answered directly.
“Why should I tell you?” Lu Manman furrowed her brows.
“Ah Xiu is alright, right?” Ye Heng asked cautiously.
Lu Manman pursed her lips and asked, “Don’t you know if he’s capable? You guys play together.”
“…”
“I’m hanging up.” Lu Manman hung up.
Ye Heng was indeed a weird man.
She turned around and heard knocking on the door. “Come in.”
“Director Lu, I’ve found it.” Yang Can was a little excited.
“Mm?”
“It’s the piece of land in the industrial park. The government used the enterprises to encroach on it and then the companies bought it and rented it,” Yang Can said, as if trying to remain calm. “And the owners.h.i.+p of that piece of land belongs to the Mo Mandate.”
“What?” Lu Manman exclaimed.
It was the Mo Mandate!
“Yes, it’s the land of your husband, Mo Yuanxiu,” Yang Can said. “That way, it’ll be easy to resolve.”
Lu Manman’s brows furrowed.
This meant that she had to take the initiative to look for Mo Yuanxiu.
She had just calmly and directly rejected his invite for dinner this morning.
“Director Lu?” Yang Can was a little surprised that she did not seem agitated.
“Mm-hm, I understand.” Lu Manman nodded. “That’s all for now. I’ll resolve this issue, and you can inform the development department to prepare for it. If nothing goes wrong, we can start in a week.”
“Yes.”
Lu Manman watched as Yang Can left and fell into deep thought.
She turned on her computer and checked the time for the civil servant exam. It was four-thirty in the afternoon.
Hence, she should call Mo Yuanxiu at four-thirty to make an appointment…
While deep in thought, she slowly got to work.
Until four-thirty.
Without hesitation, she made a call.
It was still switched off the first time.
She made another call.
The call went through the second time. “Miss Lu.”
His voice was calm.
“Let’s have dinner tonight,” Lu Manman said directly.
“I have a date tonight,” the person rejected.
“Didn’t we talk about eating together this morning?” Lu Manman was a little agitated.
“Miss Lu, didn’t you say that you were busy?”
“…” Could this man not stand being alone at all?!
“Who did you ask to meet for a meal?” Lu Manman suppressed her anger.
“A friend.”
“Ye Heng?”
“No.”
“Who is it?” Lu Manman asked in a loud voice.
“Are you questioning your husband as a wife?”
Lu Manman bit her lip.
“If not, I don’t think I need to explain myself.” With that, he hung up.
He had really hung up.
Lu Manman looked at the words: call ended. Her entire body shook.
This guy!
This guy was such a player!
