"Shi Min, if you're going to sleep, don't fidget!" Lu Yang said as he turned to look at Tang Shi Min, only to find she had completely undressed. Lu Yang's nose began to bleed profusely.
As a twenty-something man who had never experienced intimacy, Lu Yang found it impossible to control himself. However, he resolutely suppressed his urges and rushed into the bathroom, turning on the cold water and dousing himself.
"Hmph, you don't even have this much self-control. I'll see how long you can hold out. I don't believe I can't have you!"
"Once I have you, what is Shen Yi Man even worth? How dare she compete with me!" Tang Shi Min sneered inwardly as she watched Lu Yang's reaction.
Half an hour later, Lu Yang emerged from the bathroom to find Tang Shi Min, still naked, fast asleep. Without a word, Lu Yang quietly left his room and found another room to sleep in.
Cloud Villa had no shortage of rooms to sleep in. He dared not stay in his own room, fearing he might lose control and take Tang Shi Min right then and there, playing directly into her hands.
"What a spineless man! I've put myself out there like this, and he still didn't make a move on me!" Tang Shi Min sighed helplessly, having thought Lu Yang would pounce on her while she pretended to be asleep. To her surprise, he had been so startled he'd fled the room.
The next morning, Shen Yi Man saw Lu Yang emerging from a different room and immediately pressed him on why he had slept there. Lu Yang, resigned, recounted the entire incident to Shen Yi Man. xxs壹贰
"Hmph, this Tang Shi Min is too much! By feigning foolishness, she actually wants to sleep with you. No, tonight, I'm definitely going to sleep with you. We can't let that Tang Shi Min succeed!" Shen Yi Man declared in front of Lu Yang.
"What the heck, President Shen? Are you serious? I'm a man! You all want to sleep with me, is that appropriate?" Lu Yang was utterly speechless.
"What's not appropriate about it? Who told you your luck with women is so overwhelming? Anyway, enough of that. Let's hurry to work. The Qinglong Bay project has already started, and I need to oversee it to ensure there are no mistakes!" Shen Yi Man said promptly.
"Okay!" Lu Yang nodded and then took Shen Yi Man to the Qinglong Bay project.
At Qinglong Bay, various projects were in full swing, presenting a vibrant and bustling scene.
"If development continues at this pace, the entire Qinglong Bay project will be completed in less than a year. A new commercial district will emerge then, and your Haitong Group's valuation will definitely exceed five hundred billion!" Shen Yi Man exclaimed.
"Five hundred billion?"
"My target is one trillion!" Lu Yang stated calmly.
"You're getting carried away with just a little encouragement. Humph!" Shen Yi Man rolled her eyes upon hearing Lu Yang's words.
"Let's go. We should put on our hard hats and go check out the commercial district by Heilong Capital!" Shen Yi Man said, and then she immediately called the project manager. Within five minutes, the project manager hurried out, holding two hard hats.
"President Shen, President Lu, welcome for your inspection!" The project manager, named Wu Yisheng, was in his forties and had contracted the civil engineering project here.
"Yes, take us inside to have a look!" Shen Yi Man said to Wu Yisheng.
"Yes, please follow me," Wu Yisheng quickly led Shen Yi Man and Lu Yang into the construction site, explaining as they walked.
"The civil engineering work here is all completed. The remaining work is the infrastructure engineering. The three main buildings have all been erected to the tenth floor, with a daily progress of about two floors. In less than a month, these three buildings will be fully constructed, and then it will be time for interior decoration!" Wu Yisheng said with a smile.
"Mm, Manager Wu has done a great job. Ensure safety is paramount; our construction site must not have any accidents!" Shen Yi Man instructed Wu Yisheng.
"Please rest assured, President Shen. We conduct safety briefings every day before work starts, and all new workers receive safety training before they are allowed on site. The country is very strict about safety, and we naturally won't slack off!" Wu Yisheng continued.
However, as soon as he finished speaking, a construction worker was seen standing atop the highest tower crane.
"Old Wang, what are you doing? Hurry up and get down!" The foreman shouted loudly upon seeing his worker on the tower crane. The other workers gathered around to see what was happening.
"I can't go on living. I haven't received my wages yet, and I have no way to explain myself to my wife and children. I can only atone with my life!" the worker, known as Old Wang, yelled with a mournful face.
"Old Wang, don't be agitated. We're trying to find a solution. Why don't we go ask the boss for the money? Even if you jump, it won't help anything!" the foreman shouted again.
"Is this what you call good safety management?" Shen Yi Man and Lu Yang heard the commotion, looked up, and saw the construction worker on the tower crane. They immediately questioned him coldly.
"Uh... President Lu, this is an accident. I'll resolve it shortly!" Wu Yisheng's face turned red. He quickly walked over to the foreman and sternly yelled, "What the hell is going on? Why is a worker causing trouble?"
"Manager Wu, I don't know either. We had already agreed to pay them their wages in a month, but Old Wang wouldn't listen and insisted on climbing the tower crane. What should we do now?" the foreman said to Wu Yisheng, looking helpless.
"Immediately persuade Old Wang to come down, and pay his wages right now!" Wu Yisheng whispered into the foreman's ear.
"Okay, fine!" The foreman said excitedly upon hearing Wu Yisheng. He was about to shout when Wu Yisheng slapped him on the head.
"Are you an idiot? The boss is standing right there! If you shout now, what about the rest of the workers?"
"Figure it out yourself and make sure you get this worker down, or you're fired!" Wu Yisheng whispered sternly to the foreman.
"Yes, yes, I understand!" The foreman nodded quickly and soon climbed the tower crane. He then slowly approached the worker. When they were very close, the foreman whispered a few words to the worker, whose eyes lit up. The worker obediently began to descend with the foreman.
"President Lu, it seems that the issue of delayed wages for workers on your construction site is quite serious, otherwise this worker wouldn't be attempting suicide," Lu Yang said to Shen Yi Man with a smile. Although their voices were low, Lu Yang could hear everything clearly.
"What? Is that true?" Hearing this, Shen Yi Man's expression instantly darkened. She had repeatedly instructed that workers' wages must never be delayed. She hadn't expected her subordinates to be so deceitful.
Just then, the worker missed a step and fell directly from the tower crane.
