Dragon Clan: Lu Mingfei's Growth Life Simulator

"It is no exaggeration to say that I was able to stay in the company after retiring from the army and to hold that position, all thanks to the support and appreciation of your father, President Su."

Butler Liu seemed to think of the scene back then, and couldn't help but shake his head and whisper, recalling his helpless feeling at that time.

"When the company was about to go bankrupt, I had no way to do anything. I could only watch as Mr. Su's life's work was divided up by a bunch of people under the pretext of being righteous."

Butler Liu shook his head and chuckled, then glanced at the slightly weathered face of the middle-aged man in the mirror.

Although his appearance has changed drastically compared to twenty years ago, the sharpness in Su Jingtian's eyes is the same as before and has never dissipated. At best, it can be said that there is a bit more wisdom and warmth in them that were not there before. That is the look of someone who has gained more experience and found someone he cherishes in his heart.

Butler Liu murmured with emotion,

"But you, Mr. Su, are different. You are the one who was able to turn a company that was on the verge of bankruptcy around by yourself."

"Don't tell me that you couldn't have done it without me," Butler Liu immediately added, interrupting Su Jingtian's rebuttal. "You came up with the idea, and you came up with the solution. At best, I just accompanied you to the end, and you provoked me."

"I've said it many times. In terms of emotion, Mr. Su's father has done me a favor and given me this job. In terms of reason, I see your ability. Without me, the company will develop faster under your control. No matter what, I had no reason to stay in the company back then." Butler Liu recalled his past choices with a firm tone, "Giving that stage back to you is the right thing to do."

"And now the scale and development of the company prove that my choice is correct." Butler Liu smiled with relief.

"Besides, this kind of life is what I expect. As long as you don't mind my age, I plan to work here for another 20 to 30 years."

"As for the shares, you forced them on me back then. If you want them, you can take them back anytime, President Su."

"Forget it. Even if you work for another 20 or 30 years, I won't dare to drive your car anymore." Su Jingtian smiled and shook his head. "I was killed by your presbyopia that day. I don't know if I lost."

"Just keep the shares. If you really come back, my father will slap me in the face with his shoe heel in my dreams." Su Jingtian waved his hand generously, looking generous.

"Brother Liu, you have always been like this." Su Jingtian recalled the past again and couldn't help but spit it out like pouring beans.

"Back then I wanted Xiao Qiang to recognize you as her godfather, but you refused."

"I told Xiao Qiang about your identity, but you refused to let me. I really don't understand what you are thinking." Su Jingtian shook his head in confusion, "Do you really want to experience the life similar to that of a Buddhist monk sweeping the floor?"

"You think too much. Godfather and status are not that important." Butler Liu answered casually.

"Even if he's not my godfather, but just a housekeeper, isn't Miss Su very nice to me now? She doesn't treat us family members as servants at all."

"You, boy, really gave birth to a good daughter."

"That's right!" Su Jingtian raised his eyebrows. He couldn't suppress his happiness when he heard about his daughter. "After all, it's my seed!"

"Okay, Brother Liu, let's stop chatting here." Su Jingtian waved his hand and said thoughtfully,

"You need to give some advice on this project."

"The hard work of the past ten years can really take our company to the next level."

"Apart from other factors, the overall profit of this project is in the hundreds of billions or even trillions. Such a huge profit will attract many jackals and tigers even in this era."

"You have a lot of experience. Tell me. I don't believe you didn't do anything."

Butler Liu thought for a while and spoke softly,

"As far as this project is concerned, preparations in all aspects have been very thorough. Those people in China who were eyeing us covetously were almost dealt with a few years ago."

"The cooperation partner in Japan has been determined, and the channels have been almost cleared. In fact, it is just a matter of signing a contract."

"In theory, as long as there are no major problems with national policies and the world economy, this matter is a done deal."

Butler Liu frowned as he thought about what to say next.

"I didn't expect that someone would suddenly get involved like this at the end."

"It would be fine if they just got involved, but what I didn't expect was that the other party would make such a big fuss this time and want to take ruthless action. If you didn't have some inside information, you really had to stay there today. There's no telling what would happen." Butler Liu thought of this, and his last words were filled with a hint of fear.

"Who says it's not true? Thanks to your connections, Brother Liu, we were able to find so many bodyguards. At least it made the other side afraid to act rashly." Su Jingtian frowned worriedly, "But no matter what, this piece of cake seems to be bigger than I thought."

"People die for money, birds die for food. This saying is applicable no matter where or when." Butler Liu turned on the turn signal and slowly turned. "The ones we need to deal with should be the ones who showed up today. Now we should think about how to deal with this matter and get through this period smoothly."

"Mr. Li has always been known for his gentle personality in the business world. The cooperation with our company over the past few years has been good. It can be said that it is mutually beneficial. If this project is successful, it will bring him a lot of benefits."

Su Jingtian stroked his chin, still feeling a little surprised.

"Who would have thought that he would suddenly show his fangs today? The implication of his words is that he wants to take over our project directly. I don't know how he came up with this idea."

"I have heard that Lao Li's mother is Japanese. He grew up in Japan when he was a child and was involved in the Japanese underworld. He seems to have a big reputation. I thought it was a joke, but seeing the scene today, it seems to be true." Butler Liu echoed the information and explained the seriousness of the matter.

"Boss Su, anyone who made a name for himself in the underworld in that era, even if he has been cleansed of all charges now, is essentially not a simple person."

"I know that if we really discuss cooperation in the business field, anything is fine. It's nothing more than a matter of money." Su Jingtian analyzed softly, "Even if he uses some gray business methods, I can handle it. After all, from many previous projects, I am not surprised."

Su Jingtian took a deep breath and exhaled slowly.

"But looking at the situation on the other side, I'm afraid they will use some other means."

"Times have changed. It's not like I was back then where people couldn't tell black from white. So there shouldn't be any major incidents like gunfights. Now, even if they really want to do something, they have to do it in secret." Butler Liu recalled the past and present security construction, analyzed it quietly, and came to a conclusion.

"But we can't let it go."

"Xiao Su," Butler Liu's brows sternly changed his address.

"It's possible, although unlikely, that they could do something to you and your family."

"It's a good thing that my wife is in Europe. You'd better talk to her and let her stay there for a while."

"Well, I'll discuss it with her later," Su Jingtian nodded in agreement.

"As for the domestic situation," Butler Liu was silent for a while, "it's only you and Xiao Qiang who need to pay attention."

"I'm not afraid of them coming at me. After all, I've experienced similar situations before. As for this time, they didn't dare to do anything to me. This has forced me into a corner, and the project can't even run." Su Jingtian frowned slightly.

"Xiao Qiang is indeed a problem."

"But no matter what Lao Li says, he can't possibly do anything to Xiao Qiang, regardless of the unspoken rule in our industry that we don't do anything to family members. When Xiao Qiang was a child, Lao Li held her in his arms."

"Old Li was very fond of this child at that time." Su Jingtian rubbed his chin and speculated.

"He has a daughter now, and his money is enough to support his family for several lifetimes. It's impossible for him to fall out with her over a project like this."

"You are right to think so, but it is better to be safe than sorry." Butler Liu suggested softly.

"We still don't know what the relationship is between the Japanese and Lao Li, and whether Lao Li is the only one who has the final say."

"If they are not of one mind, even if Lao Li doesn't do it, those Japanese gangsters may not go back home obediently."

A squeak!

Butler Liu parked the car in front of the villa, and before they knew it, they had arrived home.

Neither of them got out of the car and continued talking.

"What's more, I checked Lao Li's resume over the past few decades these days and found something."

"What's the matter?" Su Jingtian handed over a cigarette, lit it lightly to the Brother Liu in his mind, and then he also took a bite of one.

"To be honest, he hid these things quite well, but there were still some clues left behind." Butler Liu took out a file bag from the side and handed it to the back seat.

"This is not the first time that Lao Li has encountered similar things. Don't be fooled by his honest appearance. He has helped the underworld to swallow up other people's projects many times."

"One after another, the profit is really not small," Su Jingtian looked at the data in the file and couldn't help but sigh, "I didn't expect that Lao Li is so greedy. He is so old, what does he need so much money for?"

"This is a suspicious point. After returning to China, he was not greedy and his lifestyle was not extravagant," Butler Liu lowered the car window and puffed out a cigarette.

"If you look back, you'll find that Lao Li himself didn't get much benefit from those projects."

Su Jingtian flipped through a few pages and lit up his cigarette as well. He understood what was going on. "In other words, it is very likely that Lao Li has been working for someone else. This person is very likely the boss of the underworld he used to be in."

"Well, it's very likely. The guy who can get someone like Lao Li to do things for him is definitely not a simple person." Butler Liu is old, and perhaps he is annoyed by the stuffiness in the car, so he opened the door and stood beside the car.

After reading the information, Su Jingtian threw it away and naturally followed him out.

"Old Li is not the kind of person who would abandon all consideration for money, at least not now."

Su Jingtian flicked the ash off his cigarette and said with some emotion, "But I am afraid, it's his life that matters."

"As for Xiaoqiang, I will ask my old friend to arrange bodyguards. How many do you think would be appropriate?" Butler Liu asked softly.

"It's enough to secretly arrange one or two. If there are more, Xiaoqiang will notice it. I don't want her to know about this." Su Jingtian pondered for a moment and replied softly.

"I see." Butler Liu nodded gently, and then couldn't help asking, "Xiao Su, maybe it's not appropriate to ask this."

"But if it really comes to the point where you have to choose between a person and a project, what do you do?"

"Is there any need to say more?" Su Jingtian said without hesitation.

"No matter how big the world is, it is not as big as my family."

"No matter how much money you have, it's not as good as having a daughter."

"Although this project can help our company move to a higher level, it is essentially a way for me to pave the way for Xiaoqiang and her future husband."

“Don’t put the cart before the horse!”

Su Jingtian crushed the cigarette under his feet and waved his hand nonchalantly.

"If it really comes to the point where it's a last resort, let Lao Li take the project if he wants."

"We have prepared everything that needs to be prepared. This is how it is. Maybe we are just overthinking it." Su Jingtian stretched and put the things that had been arranged behind his mind.

"By the way, Brother Liu, what do you think of the young man who showed up today? That's Lu Mingfei."

Butler Liu was slightly startled, frowning slightly as he recalled Lu Mingfei's words and actions.

"He's a pretty energetic young man, right?"

"Knowing your identity, you are not shy when talking to us. I think you will be fine in the future."

"Come to think of it, you just thanked him, Xiao Su. You didn't really think he was there to help you out, did you?" Butler Liu looked at Su Jingtian with a strange expression.

"He's only 16, just an ordinary boy, how could he see that kind of thing?"

"Brother Liu, you were far away at the time and didn't know what was going on inside." Su Jingtian said cheerfully.

"At that time, this kid, for no apparent reason, started talking about surveillance and the police."

"To be honest, I was stunned for a while, thinking that this guy was just a chatterbox. Later I noticed that he was talking to Lao Li and his gang."

Su Jingtian put his arm around Butler Liu's shoulder and said cheerfully,

"I won't hide it from you. At that time, I thought that Brother Liu had found someone to help me."

"Don't you soldiers also have some teenage young soldier kings?"

Butler Liu rolled his eyes and slapped Su Jingtian's disrespectful hand.

"Don't listen to the rumors on the Internet. There is no such thing as a teenage soldier king. If there really is one, do you think I, a retired veteran, can invite him to you?"

"Haha, that's right." Su Jingtian nodded with a smile, and boasted about his daughter again, "But this kid is really good, worthy of being my daughter, to be able to be the big sister of such people."

"Recruiting him into the company in the future should help Xiao Qiang handle a lot of things."

"Aren't you afraid that he will kidnap your daughter?" Butler Liu looked a little strange.

"Not really," Su Jingtian shrugged. "I tried to test him several times in the car, and he didn't seem to be interested in Xiao Qiang."

"I don't think he can really hide from me that well."

Butler Liu curled his lips and kept clicking his tongue, "Xiao Su, I think you are too happy too early."

"Didn't it rain heavily today? I just suddenly remembered that Xiao Qiang asked me to take a classmate home with me."

"At the time, I was watching from afar at the school gate and vaguely saw Xiao Qiang chatting happily with a boy. They were truly a perfect match."

Butler Liu raised a hint of gloating at the corner of his mouth.

"I took a closer look, and guess what? Xiao Qiang was wearing the boy's coat. They were so affectionate. Even though the boy asked the other boy to go home, they were still playing around. It was like a youthful time."

Butler Liu looked at Su Jingtian's frozen face, raised his eyebrows, and got angry with interest.

"Who is that man you're looking for? That's right, it's Lu Mingfei who almost called you his brother just now."

Finished 25 days, over.

Chapter 173 Su Xiaoqiang: Something’s wrong with me?

"Brother Liu, what do you mean?"

Lu Mingfei and his baby daughter

Su Jingtian opened his mouth slightly, looking confused.

The cold wind blew in from outside the villa and penetrated into his collar fiercely. The chill made him shiver involuntarily, and his mind became clear.

Su Jingtian kept shaking his head, waving his hands in disbelief, subconsciously denying it.
