He extended his hand, and Qin Miaomiao grasped it. Her palm was slightly damp, and he squeezed it firmly.
Then, he lightly scratched her palm. Qin Miaomiao glared at him:
"Is this how Young Master Lu flirts with girls?"
Lu Qing frowned. "Flirt?"
Clearly, he was unfamiliar with modern slang.
"It means hitting on girls! I’ve heard that Young Master Lu is surrounded by countless female companions and has no shortage of scandals. Your flirting skills are top-notch, and anyone who sees you falls at your tailored trousers’ feet. Is that true?"
Even Qin Miaomiao herself didn’t realize just how bitter her words sounded.
Lu Qing suddenly became serious and responded to her word by word:
"No, I only flirt with you."
Upon hearing this, her heart quivered lightly. Words of affection were indeed captivating; even she began to feel a blossoming attraction. It wasn’t that her resistance was weak—it was that he was exceptionally powerful.
Qin Miaomiao secured funding for the company and announced project adjustment plans during the meeting the following day.
She axed a series of projects and departments that had generated no profit and were incurring severe losses, executing large-scale layoffs.
Externally, this series of actions led to speculation, with opinions circulating that the Qin Group was at its wit’s end and likely nearing bankruptcy.
Qin Miaomiao couldn’t care less about anyone’s opinions and gave no explanations. Instead, she communicated her direction for adjustments internally within the company.
Some employees, believing the company had no future, submitted resignations—some of them even being key personnel who took core technical staff with them.
In the end, the company was left with only about fifty employees. The remaining fifty stayed due to their respect for the former president, Qin Miaomiao’s father.
Only at this point did Qin Miaomiao disclose that the Lu Group had invested in the company. This revelation ignited a substantial boost in morale—after all, it was the Lu Company!
Rumor had it that Lu Qing had already ranked within the top three on the Forbes list, and the Lu Shi Group had significant influence globally.
While they’d had little involvement in the film industry previously, for them to entrust the company with it and provide funding meant that revival was possible.
Back when Qin Miaomiao was Su Jin, she had run an entertainment company. She not only nurtured several A-list superstars but also invested in movies that turned consistent profits. Unfortunately, after marrying Chu Yunhao, she retreated to the sidelines and handed over Su Shi Group to Chu Yunhao, relinquishing control entirely, which led to the misery that followed.
Thinking of this, Qin Miaomiao’s gaze gradually chilled. Since Chu Yunhao had taken everything from her, she was going to dismantle everything he possessed step by step!
The news of Lu Group investing in Xingyao Group spread quickly, and soon, Qin Miaomiao held a press conference.
To everyone’s surprise, Lu Qing—who was normally elusive—made an appearance this time. Reporters swarmed forward, eager to get explosive details straight from him.
"Mr. Lu, you were recently seen at the airport with Chu Xiaoxiao. Could you share what your relationship is?"
"Mr. Lu, Miss Bai Wei has disappeared from the supermodel scene. Some have spotted her at nightlife venues. Do you know anything about this?"
"Mr. Lu, Xingyao Group is on the brink of bankruptcy. Why have you decided to invest now?"
Lu Qing sat there, his strikingly handsome face outshining even the nation’s current hottest heartthrob, Feng Ziyu. His aura was overwhelmingly commanding. Despite the swarm of reporters and their aggressive questioning, he remained utterly composed.
He only responded to the last question:
"President Qin is an exceptionally capable individual. With her at Xingyao’s helm, Xingyao will undoubtedly rise again."
