Hidden identities of the AI Heiress

Chapter 54: Equivalent Exchange, All Settled



Pei Ya said softly, “Boss, are you thinking about abusing your power?”

Qiao Yun seriously corrected him, “Not thinking, I’m definitely going to abuse it.”

Pei Ya: “…”

He was speechless.

Humble worker Pei Ya said, “Okay, since you’re the boss, you have the final say, and the Lu Family’s capabilities aren’t bad either, so it’s not really going through the back door.”

“Hmm,” Qiao Yun nodded lightly.

“Why suddenly think of giving the Lu Family a back door? You never used to ask about these things.”

Not just not asking, he practically forgot he even owned a group, always busy studying some bizarre things.

Qiao Yun didn’t hide it from him, honestly saying, “They give me money, and I give them what they want, a fair trade, all clear.”

Grandpa said, you shouldn’t take things from others for free.

Pei Ya was silent on the phone for a while before speaking, “… I have a question, not sure if it’s appropriate to ask. Of course, you probably won’t let me say it, but I’ll say it first. How much did they give you?”

“Last time two hundred thousand, this time fifty thousand,” Qiao Yun remembered clearly.

“Boss, I still say the same thing, I have a question…”

“Shut up,” Qiao Yun disliked his chatter.

“Okay, I’ll just say it. Do you know how much this project is worth? The estimate is around one billion.”

“That’s a bit low,” Qiao Yun wasn’t concerned about money, but each of her research developments involved investing tens or hundreds of billions, although the return was multiple times that.

Pei Ya thought about it and felt he was making too much of a fuss, replying nonchalantly, “Yeah, that is low.”

“Get it done today.”

Qiao Yun then hung up the phone.

“…”

Pei Ya sighed.

Look, his ability to withstand stress had really been trained by Qiao Yun.

He never knew that Qiao Yun could be so generous, to give away a billion-dollar project just like that.

With the boss being so generous, he, as the subordinate, of course had to be thoroughly loyal and diligent.

When Pei Ya made a call, the manager at Tenghui was dumbfounded.

Actually, the Lu Family and another company were quite comparable in ability; it was just that the other company had worked with Tenghui before, which was considered over another company.

Now that the president had spoken personally, not possible also had to be made possible.

The manager silently complained about Lu Rui in his heart, saying he had connections all along but had to wait until the other company was quietly celebrating, only then to dramatically turn the tables with a plot twist.

It’s not some male-centric exhilarating novel.

Night fell.

After showering, Su Mian came out only to see Father Lu browsing tourist spots on a tablet.

She curiously asked, “Why are you suddenly so interested? Has Tie Niu figured it out? Planning to take me somewhere romantic?”

Lu Rui put down the tablet, his tone slightly regretful, “I’m just looking for something nearby suitable for girls to enjoy, thinking of taking the family out for a stroll before school starts. Our daughter is so grown up now, yet we’ve never gone out together.”

“Qiaoqiao probably won’t want to go.”

Su Mian sat down on the bed, sighed softly, and blamed herself, “It’s all my fault. If it weren’t for me, Qiaoqiao wouldn’t have gotten lost. If we could have found Qiaoqiao earlier, she wouldn’t be this way.”

After a pause, she added, “Of course, the Qiaoqiao now is also very cute and well-behaved, but I wish she were more lively.”

For Qiao Yun, she really was heartbroken.

Lu Rui held her hand, soothing her, “Let’s not talk about the past. It’s good that Qiaoqiao is back.”

“Yes, it’s good that she’s back, but Qiaoqiao…”

Su Mian was feeling down. She didn’t know how to express it, but as a mother, she could feel that sometimes Qiaoqiao was overly distant and polite with them, not close at all.

Lu Rui was about to comfort her when his phone rang.
