FMLRWS Chapter 683

Seeing that Leng Minxing didn’t seem to care about his identity being revealed, Father Luo felt a swell of pride and spoke up.

“The Leng family? That Leng family? Isn’t there only one Leng Group in Yun City, part of the four major families? You can’t be talking about…” As a businessman, Uncle Luo knew quite a bit. Upon hearing this, he first frowned and then seemed to think of something and gaped in disbelief.

“Correct, our Minxing is the heir of the powerful Leng family.”

“W-What!” Uncle Luo stood up in shock, looking at Leng Minxing with a tone filled with fear. “I really didn’t expect the head of the Leng family to be so young. I wasn’t aware before, and I hope Young Master Leng won’t hold it against me.”

“No worries,” Leng Minxing replied lightly.

Luo Yuan and her mother exchanged a glance, both their eyes showing disbelief.

They knew very well that Uncle Luo’s attitude meant that Leng Minxing was indeed a big shot. Since they had moved away from Yun City when they were young, they weren’t familiar with the local situation and didn’t realize the extent of Leng Minxing’s influence.

But seeing Uncle Luo’s attitude, they no longer dared to say much.

Zhou Yangrong sat there, fear and nervousness written all over his face.

He was worried that Luo Yuan’s parents would boast about his identity as a company executive to the president. In reality, he was just pretending. Who would like to date a cleaner?

Especially someone like Luo Yuan who cared so much about appearances.

In truth, he wasn’t just an ordinary cleaner. He designed all the cleaning equipment for the company and was a minor manager. So when he told Luo Yuan he earned a hundred thousand yuan a month, he wasn’t lying. He just dressed it up to sound a bit more impressive.

Now, what a disaster!

He just hoped Luo Yuan’s parents wouldn’t bring it up.

And of course, when he was worried, fate often turned against him.

No sooner had he thought this than Luo Yuan’s mother couldn’t help but ask, “I didn’t expect Xiao Zhou to be working at your company. What a coincidence! What position does Xiao Zhou hold?”

Leng Minxing glanced at the anxious Zhou Yangrong and responded in a deep voice, “There are too many employees in the company. I haven’t paid attention.”

Upon hearing this, Uncle Luo’s family felt a bit disappointed. It seemed that Zhou Yangrong’s position wasn’t very high.

Indeed, in such a large company, there must be countless employees earning one hundred thousand yuan a month. How could someone remember Zhou Yangrong?

This disparity left them feeling uncomfortable, but there was nothing they could do. After all, they genuinely couldn’t compare to the other party.

Zhou Yangrong let out a long breath and looked at Leng Minxing with gratitude.

Once dinner was ready, Mother Luo invited everyone to the table.

Since there were many guests today, the meal was extra lavish.

Everyone felt a bit restrained dining with such an important figure like Leng Minxing, except for Luo Xi, who was enjoying her meal.

After dinner, Uncle Luo’s family left dejectedly.

Luo Xi and Leng Minxing didn’t linger either because Luo Xi still had work the next day.

Father Luo and Mother Luo also didn’t try to keep them, simply reminding them to be careful on the road, and the two headed home.

A couple of days later, the exam results finally came out.

Although not very good, they exceeded Luo Xi’s expectations.

She ranked fifth in her class.

While this was a slight drop from before, it was still far better than she had expected.

At that time, she had been going through a bad time, worried she would do terribly. Just thinking about her grades made her anxious.

Her teacher even praised her in the group chat for her big progress, encouraging everyone to learn from her.

Luo Xi happily shared the news with Leng Minxing.

This time, he dared not dampen her spirits and repeatedly praised her.

Although his expression was serious, Luo Xi understood it contained a hint of dishonesty, but it didn’t stop her happiness.

With just one month left, Luo Xi grew increasingly familiar with her colleagues.

Everyone’s attitude began to change because Luo Xi was so generous.

Leng Minxing often had people send food to her, and since she couldn’t finish it all, she shared it with everyone. Over time, everyone saw she wasn’t as frightening as the rumors suggested, and they naturally became closer to her.

That day after work, a new milk tea shop opened across the street, so everyone planned to go there after work.

While browsing, Luo Xi received a video call from Leng Minxing and stepped into a quieter spot to answer.

“What are you doing?” Leng Minxing couldn’t find her in the office and thought she had gone home but was surprised to see she was still out.

“I’m at the new milk tea shop across from your company,” Luo Xi replied helplessly, glancing at the long queue due to the shop’s popularity.

“Drink less of those things, they’re bad for your health,” Leng Minxing frowned, his tone unconvinced.

At that moment, a male voice suddenly called out, “Xixi, the second cup is half price, take one for free.”

Zhao Ze walked over with two cups of milk tea and set them in front of Luo Xi.

The expression on Leng Minxing’s face turned dark immediately.

Luo Xi looked at him and said thank you, accepting the drink without hesitation.

During this time, they had all grown closer, exchanging snacks back and forth, so she didn’t feel the need to be polite.

Zhao Ze noticed she was on a call and smiled apologetically before turning to leave.

“Who is that?” Leng Minxing asked, his voice tinged with jealousy.

“Oh? He’s a colleague. Look, he gave me this milk tea.” Luo Xi didn’t pick up on his tone and shook the cup in front of the camera. “So I don’t have to wait in line.”

Leng Minxing’s face darkened further. “Can you even drink discounted items like that? Be careful you don’t upset your stomach.”

“I only got it because it’s a promotional event to attract customers since the shop just opened,” Luo Xi explained.

Leng Minxing scoffed, “Only people looking to save a buck would buy something like that.”

Luo Xi: “???” What’s with this sarcastic tone?

“Why spend more when you can get it cheaper? People are not stupid.”

Leng Minxing: “…” What to do if he felt like his woman had just scolded him?

Feeling frustrated, Leng Minxing hung up the call, thinking his standing in Luo Xi’s heart was getting lower and lower. He was actually being criticized for a half-priced milk tea!

“Xu Guan, find out who opened that milk tea shop across from the company.”

Xu Guan on the other end of the phone was confused. “And then, President?”

“Acquire it.”

“…Understood, President.”

The next day, the milk tea shop suddenly increased their prices, leading to countless complaints and curses from disappointed customers.

Within a few days, the milk tea shop went out of business.

Everyone: “…”

Luo Xi was incredibly frustrated.

Nearby, her colleagues were complaining, “What’s wrong with this shop? It was doing well just a few days ago, and now it’s gone? Did they earn too much?”

“Who knows? Maybe the owner didn’t care about money.”
