The president always wants to steal my sweet potato

Mu Yaqi readily accepted: "Okay."

After receiving Mu Yaqi's approval, Lu Chengfeng smiled.

Mu Yaqi said: "Wash all these later and take them home."

Lu Chengfeng responded: "Okay."

Mu Yaqi picked out all the pearls with a small fork, and Lu Chengfeng gave her a plate to put the pearls in. Lu Chengfeng also joined her organization and became an expert in the pearl sorting assembly line.

While choosing, Mu Yaqi took a few bites of cake from time to time. Seeing Lu Chengfeng concentrating on choosing pearls, she forked a small piece of cake without pearls and handed it to his mouth, and he opened his mouth to eat it.

Soon, all the pearl decorations on the cake were picked out.

They put the plate of pearls aside for the moment.

At this point, Mu Yaqi couldn't help but sigh: "Luckily, the rock slab table I bought is relatively large."

Lu Chengfeng smiled and said, “Well, Madam has foresight.”

Mu Yaqi said proudly: "That's right, I have a certain understanding of my appetite and creativity."

Lu Chengfeng looked at her with a smile.

Creativity probably refers to destructive power.

Mu Yaqi did not forget her previous thought. She looked at him and said seriously, "I have a small suggestion."

Lu Chengfeng said gently: "Well, just say it directly."

Mu Yaqi said: "In fact, you might as well be bolder."

Lu Chengfeng showed a puzzled look in his eyes, and Mu Yaqi explained vividly: "You are Mr. Lu, and you are so gentle to me. Although I like it very much, it seems to be less fun."

Lu Chengfeng smiled and said, "Madam, what kind of fun do you think is missing?"

Mu Yaqi pondered: "Well...you can be more confident, just like this cake."

She pointed at the cake with her chin and said, "You put pearls on it because you think I like pearls. Now that you've put them on it, don't think I won't like it."

Lu Chengfeng raised his eyebrows.

Mu Yaqi continued: "First, I like everything you give me. Second, even if I don't like it, I believe you have already thought of a way to deal with it."

Lu Chengfeng looked at her with a smile.

Mu Yaqi raised her head and said proudly, "Am I right?"

Lu Chengfeng's mind was full of thoughts. When he thought that she didn't like pearls, he had already started planning to put chocolate in it next time.

From this perspective, she knows him quite well.

Lu Chengfeng smiled and said, "Yes, I have ten thousand ways to make you happy."

Mu Yaqi insisted, "What if I'm unhappy for the thousandth and first time?"

Lu Chengfeng narrowed his eyes and smiled, "Then I will create the 10,000th method."

Mu Yaqi raised her eyebrows: "Are you so smart?"

Just as Lu Chengfeng was about to explain, he remembered what Mu Yaqi had just said.

She allowed him to be bolder.

In other words, she didn't want to hear any great truths, but just wanted to chat with him. He said confidently, "Of course."

Mu Yaqi smiled and stretched out a finger to scratch his chin, and exclaimed: "I found a treasure."

Lu Chengfeng looked at her with great enjoyment.

After tickling her twice, she withdrew her hand. Although she hoped Lu Chengfeng would be bolder, she was afraid that if he was too bold, she would not be able to resist.

For him now, his restraint was a bit too much.

So she has to go and order some.

Why do I suddenly have a feeling that I am a deity who can enlighten mortals?

Mu Yaqi stopped thinking about this and brought her thoughts back to her senses.

She saw that Lu Chengfeng was almost done with the cake in his hand, and there was only a bite left in hers, so she ate the cake in her hand in one bite, and then cut a small piece from the big cake.

While cutting, she did not forget to say to Lu Chengfeng: "You only have two bites left, eat quickly, and I will cut more for you after you finish."

Lu Chengfeng responded: "Okay."

After Mu Yaqi put a small piece of cake on the plate in her hand, Lu Chengfeng also stuffed the last bite of cake on the plate in his mouth.

Mu Yaqi took his plate and continued to cut the cake.

While cutting, she asked, "Did you make that security layout yourself?"

Lu Chengfeng said frankly: "I contributed half of the effort."

There was no surprise on Mu Yaqi's face. She said calmly, "Oh, then can you tell me about your other half?"

Hearing this, Lu Chengfeng smiled and said deliberately: "You are my only other half."

Mu Yaqi glanced at him and said, "I know, I'm asking about the other half of the deployment, don't interrupt me."

I asked him to be bolder just now, but now he is so bold that he is about to fly to the sky.

How can you tolerate him having to interfere in everything?

He handles ordinary things so cautiously, and when we told him to be bolder, he actually became more than a little bolder.

Now we are joking about serious matters.

Hmm...is it possible that in his mind he thinks the security layout is just a small matter, and the matter about her is a big deal?

Judging from his current performance, it is true.

Mu Yaqi: "......"

Although this is a happy thing, I always feel unhappy.

But then again, he is a man with considerable experience after all. He should be able to distinguish between big and small things, right?

Mu Yaqi narrowed her eyes, thought for a moment, then turned to look at Lu Chengfeng and asked, "Let me ask you, between the two things, 'security layout' and 'I didn't eat dinner', which one is more important?"

Lu Chengfeng answered the latter without hesitation.

And his expression was very proud.

Mu Yaqi: "......"

Sure enough, it was just as she thought.

Mu Yaqi paused, she was about to speak but hesitated, after thinking about it, she asked: "I don't quite understand, I want you to explain it. That is, why do you think that my not having a meal is more important than a safe deployment?"

Lu Chengfeng said: "The security deployment is just this piece of land and one project."

He said slowly: "The essential purpose of this project is to make you feel happy and blessed. If we ignore your experience in order to promote this project, it would go against the essential intention."

He looked at her with sincerity and love in his eyes, and said, "We should do something for the sake of happiness, and not do it just to say it."

“Maybe this sentence doesn’t apply to most people, but for us, its existence will become meaningless.”

Mu Yaqi listened to the general idea, blinked, and summarized: "In other words, people are more important than things."

Lu Chengfeng said: "Of course. And this principle applies in most cases."

"For example, people work and earn money in order to have enough food to eat. If they make money but are too busy working to eat, this goes against their original intention."

"This process is transforming a person from a 'person' with a soul and thoughts into a 'machine' that only works."

Mu Yaqi nodded thoughtfully.

She asked, "So you think I'm more important than engineering?"

Lu Chengfeng said: "Of course, you are my wife. Besides--"

Mu Yaqi looked at him leisurely, waiting for him to speak.

Lu Chengfeng said the second half of the sentence slowly: "The people are above everything else. What does a project mean to you?"

Mu Yaqi laughed when she heard that, and suddenly felt that he had ascended to a higher level.

She looked at the somewhat proud Lu Chengfeng in front of her and said, "Yes, yes, our Boss Lu has the strongest sense of justice."

Lu Chengfeng smiled and raised his head, and soon returned to normal.

Mu Yaqi brought the topic back and said, "You haven't told me yet who contributed the other half of the security layout."

Want to change the subject?

no way.

She wanted to know who he was hiding from her.

Although it would be a bit bad to force him to say it when he didn't want to, she really wanted to know now.

She always felt that things were not that simple.

Under Mu Yaqi's relentless questioning, Lu Chengfeng said hesitantly: "Yes..."

He looked at Mu Yaqi and saw that she was not going to finish the calculation until she heard the answer. He sighed and said frankly: "...It's Shang Junjie."

Mu Yaqi paused, then blinked.

Mu Yaqi: "......"

She frowned slightly, opened her mouth, her expression wrinkled into the shape of the word "囧", and her face was full of confusion.

Mu Yaqi asked, "Aren't you at odds with him?"

Lu Chengfeng coughed lightly and said, "Yeah."

Mu Yaqi's doubts deepened, and she asked, "So what?"

Lu Chengfeng said: "I have only reached a consensus with him temporarily. Of course, it is only temporary. He and I still don't get along."

Mu Yaqi: "......"

She sorted out her thoughts and soon found the tail of the clue.

Mu Yaqi asked: "So who are you two trying to deal with by joining forces at the same time?"

Lu Chengfeng raised his eyebrows in surprise. He didn't expect that she would accept the consensus reached between him and Shang Junjie so quickly.

Lu Chengfeng answered her question and said, "The person behind Shang Junjie."

Mu Yaqi blinked and asked, "Who is that?"

Lu Chengfeng hesitated for a moment, then said frankly: "His nominal father is Meng Zhe."

A dim light flashed in his eyes, and then quickly disappeared. He thought that maybe telling her earlier would make her more cautious.

You won't be at a loss when you encounter danger.

Mu Yaqi asked in confusion: "Nominal father? His surname is Meng?"

Lu Chengfeng nodded and said, "Well, Shang Junjie is Meng Zhe's adopted son, but I don't know exactly how they first met."

Mu Yaqi asked: "Then why did Shang Junjie go against Meng Zhe? Is he fighting for power?"

Lu Chengfeng shook his head: "No, it's Mengzhe's personal problem."

Mu Yaqi asked: "What happened to him?"

Lu Chengfeng said: "Do you remember I told you that Shang Junjie took my mother's medicine."

Mu Yaqi nodded and waited for his next words.

Lu Chengfeng said: "Actually, it wasn't Shang Junjie who took it, but Meng Zhe."

Mu Yaqi frowned and asked, "What does he want the potion for?"

Lu Chengfeng looked at her quietly and narrated slowly: "That medicine was developed by my father's team."
