Quick Transmigration: The Divine-Looking Host is Always Pampered by a Powerful Boss
Chapter 18 The White Moonlight of All the Big Shots
Lu Tingzhou arrived with gifts, and the servants greeted him and Chu Zhuo as they entered.
Mr. Shen was urgently called back and sat on the sofa with Mrs. Shen waiting for someone.
Upon entering the living room, Lu Tingzhou presented the gifts, saying, "Hello, Uncle and Aunt, I am Zhuo... Zhuo's boyfriend, Lu Tingzhou."
From the moment Mr. Shen saw Lu Tingzhou, he was completely distraught and remained in a daze.
Everyone knows who the president of the Lu Group is. On the surface, he's the president, but in reality, Old Master Lu has long since stopped managing things. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call him Chairman Lu.
He had originally planned to put Xiaozhuo's boyfriend in his place and test his character, but now he was being subtly overwhelmed by him.
Outrageous.
Although Lu Tingzhou tried his best to appear warm, a man who had been immersed in the business world for a long time and stood at the pinnacle of power, even if he restrained himself, still exuded a chilling aura that should not be underestimated.
Lu Tingzhou is ruthless and has a fearsome reputation. No matter how smart or capable you are, you'll be skinned alive if you go to Lu Tingzhou. How did Xiao Zhu even get together with him? Mr. Shen couldn't understand their relationship at all.
Although the Lu family is wealthy, the Shen family is not lacking either. If there is even the slightest problem, Mr. Shen will not agree to this marriage.
Just then, the nanny finished cooking. Mr. Shen put the food down and called out, "Come and eat. It's almost lunchtime. The Shen family won't let our guests go hungry."
With a sarcastic tone, Mrs. Shen rolled her eyes at him but didn't say anything.
Her stance was quite clear: she was on Mr. Shen's side.
At the dinner table, Lu Tingzhou picked out fish bones, peeled shrimp shells, and picked out the dishes that Chu Zhuo liked. The whole process was tender and gentle, and his behavior was completely different from when he greeted the Shen couple earlier.
Chu Zhuo, on the other hand, seemed completely used to it.
Well, at least Mrs. Shen was satisfied. As soon as she finished eating, she called out to Chu Zhuo, "Xiao Zhuo, come to my room with me."
Before leaving, Chu Zhuo instructed Shen's father, "Dad, don't make things too difficult for Lu Tingzhou."
Mr. Shen nodded, "I'll try."
After Mrs. Shen took Chu Zhuo away, only Mr. Shen and Lu Tingzhou remained in the living room.
"The last time we met was at the beginning of the year when Lu's company was bidding." Mr. Shen gave a businesslike smile. "President Lu is young and promising. My son just returned from abroad and is still quite naive. I am truly terrified that you care so much about my son."
Young and promising? Quite the opposite, it means he's old.
Lu Tingzhou didn't care at all and spoke sincerely: "My dad said that he is old and loves people. I will always be good to A-Zhu. My uncle is worried, so I will draw up an agreement before the marriage. No matter what the future holds, all my personal property will belong to Chu Zhuo."
The sincerity in a man's eyes doesn't seem fake.
Mr. Shen was shocked that Lu Tingzhou would say something that sounded like he would leave with nothing. After a moment, he snorted, "That sounds nice, but don't think I'll be moved. The Shen family can easily support Xiao Zhuo. I have no other requests, I just hope that if you two really end up breaking up, please don't stop him from coming home."
Even if they are truly in love, once the news of the marriage between the Shen and Lu families is released, their relationship will inevitably be associated with the concept of political alliance.
When news of the divorce breaks, both companies will definitely experience some turmoil.
Mr. Shen wasn't worried about the Shen family; no one was more important than his son. He was just afraid that the Lu family, being so powerful and wealthy, would hold his precious son back from agreeing to a divorce for the sake of so-called face.
Lu Tingzhou knew that saying anything more at this point would be useless, so he solemnly repeated, "I love him. I will keep the drafting of the agreement a secret from Azhuo for the time being."
Only then did Mr. Shen's expression soften.
He wasn't the kind of person who would be moved by a few words. No amount of sweet talk was as effective as actions. For his son's sake, Mr. Shen was willing to play the bad guy.
Meanwhile, on the other side, Shen's mother pulled Chu Zhuo to his room and, as expected, asked him about the matter between him and Lu Tingzhou. She then asked him about Xiao Yu and whether Lu Tingzhou knew about it.
Chu Zhuo then polished his previous ideas and explained them to Chu Zhuo one by one.
With tears in her eyes, Mrs. Shen lovingly stroked his cheek: "Then let Xiaoyu leave happily in the end. We are all very happy that Xiaozhuo can find his other half."
Chu Zhuo wiped away Shen's mother's tears and gently hugged her.
With the meeting with the parents over, it's almost the end of December, and the year-end is approaching.
Qi Yu's sentence was handed down: death penalty.
The case is of great importance, involving a murder. Qi Yu appealed, prolonging the proceedings. However, under pressure from both the Shen and Lu families, there can only be one outcome: everyone connected to him will be implicated, including the hospital that altered his mother's medical records. Before Qi Yu dies, he will live in the horrific image of being tortured to death by ten thousand needles.
As for the mistress in the previous life, Qi Yu's affair led to Shi An falling down the stairs and dying... The entertainment industry changes very quickly. After the Lu family announced that they would not hire him, prominent figures in the outside world avoided Cai Zhelin.
Cai Zhelin didn't like the small resources, so he reluctantly followed a CEO who didn't discriminate between men and women and became his mistress. After the affair was exposed, the original wife hired people to beat him up. The original wife sued to return the money the CEO had spent on him, citing marital property.
Cai Zhelin spends money extravagantly and has no savings. He is chased by debt collectors day and night. His face, which was once considered good on camera, gradually loses its filter and becomes just another face in the crowd, ignored by everyone.

I spent New Year's Eve at the Shen family's house and the Spring Festival at the Lu family's house.
Grandpa Lu handed out a large red envelope on the spot, the whole envelope was bulging.
Lu Yan, speechless, said, "Grandpa, you've just put a brick in Auntie's pocket."
"Get out of here," Old Master Lu spat at him, then continued talking to Chu Zhuo, "Little Zhuo, I originally wanted to slip you a card too, but Tingzhou's mother said that's not a good idea. You can give a card anytime, but a red envelope has a different meaning. I think that makes sense."
Chu Zhuo was about to lose his grip on the red envelope brick.
That's really outrageous.
Lu Tingzhou slapped Lu Yan on the back of the head: "Did you hear what Dad said?"
Lu Yan felt that his uncle was retaliating against him for accidentally letting something slip in front of his grandfather.
"Tch, stingy." After scoffing inwardly, Lu Yan received another punch on the head. Turning around, he saw a long face and honestly apologized, "I'm sorry, Grandma, I misspoke."
After dinner, the topic turned to marriage, and Madam Lu smiled and took Chu Zhuo's hand: "Little Zhuo, would you like a Chinese-style or Western-style wedding?"
Chu Zhuo had no preference. After thinking for a moment, he said, "We can hold two events. The Shen family can host a Chinese-style event, and the Lu family can host a Western-style event."
Madam Lu smiled kindly; how could she disagree?
He knows his own son well. That kid has very high standards. He fell for Chu Zhuo when he was only in his thirties. Everyone in the Lu family hopes that Chu Zhuo and Lu Tingzhou can be together for a long time.
After the New Year, Lu Tingzhou was busy dealing with company matters, while Chu Zhuo was also reorganizing the photography studio.
Xiaoyu said goodbye on an ordinary spring day, only seeing Shen's parents.
It seems ordinary, but it's not so ordinary after all. That day, the date for the engagement banquet between the Shen and Lu families was set.
After crying, Mrs. Shen seemed to have been reborn. She contacted Madam Lu, and the two families discussed the engagement banquet.
The engagement party was in May, the day Lu Tingzhou met Chu Zhuo.
The parents of both families did not understand but respected the choice of this date, while the two main characters in the middle smiled at each other.
Not long after, news of the marriage between the Lu and Shen families spread, and reporters were invited to the engagement banquet to take photos.
As the photos leaked, there were just as many people who were optimistic as others who were pessimistic.
Of course, there are also those who are purely fans of good looks.
With the established family backgrounds of the Shen and Lu families, this marriage, a union of two powerful individuals, coupled with the exceptionally good looks of the two newlyweds, has never lacked admirers.
One is as beautiful as an angel, the other as handsome as a god; even if they end up divorcing, it's still a great couple to ship! Divorced couples still have a market, okay?!
As for the wedding that netizens are looking forward to, it's probably something they'll never get to see in their lifetime, because the two families won't be making the wedding ceremony public.
There are all sorts of rumors circulating, from pessimistic to positive, conspiracy theories, and slanderous comments from those who are just curious and want to hear the gossip, but it doesn't stop this couple from producing content that just keeps running out of material, much to the regret of their fans.
