On the dining table, Luo Chengcheng looked at two empty seats and heard Luo Yusen’s accusatory voice on the phone. He thought, Oh no! Brother must have run into Fei Bai outside. Considering his brother’s temperament, he couldn’t tolerate any nonsense. Moreover, when he found out Fei Bai was his junior, the situation became even more serious.
“Brother, let me explain. I didn’t mean to hide it from you…” He was interrupted by Luo Yusen.
“Is there a difference whether you did it intentionally or not?” Luo Yusen paused and said, “We’re canceling this deal. You need to come back to the office immediately. If I don’t see you within an hour, you’ll bear the consequences.”
Luo Chengcheng panicked, “Cancel the deal? Come on, brother. Let’s settle the accounts later. At least, come and have a meal. It’s a matter of giving face.”
“Don’t make me repeat myself,” Luo Yusen said icily.
Luo Chengcheng asked cautiously, “Is it because of that kid, Fei Bai?”
Luo Yusen remained silent, and Luo Chengcheng took it as a confirmation.
“Isn’t it a bit too much, brother?” Luo Chengcheng couldn’t fathom it. “Who is he to you?”L
uo Yusen replied without hesitation, “He’s mine.”
“Yours?” Luo Chengcheng thought he had misheard and was about to ask again, but Luo Yusen hung up the phone.
He knew his brother’s temper well. If he didn’t return to the office within an hour, he would probably receive a dismissal notice from the HR department early the next morning.

But he didn’t want to offend their business partner. After hanging up, he put on a worried expression and said to the other company’s CEO, “It’s bad news. My brother says he can’t make it. He ran into my sister-in-law on his way here, and she found out there’s a young man accompanying him tonight. She insisted on him not coming and even escorted the young man away. Now they’re having a big argument. My brother asked me to go back and help explain. If I’m late, he’ll be sleeping outside tonight.”

The CEO immediately nodded repeatedly and exclaimed, “I didn’t expect the influential President Lou to be a henpecked husband.”
Clearly, this surprising revelation piqued the CEO’s interest even more than having Fei Bai accompany them. He asked his subordinates to bring out the contract and said to Luo Chengcheng, “Since Manager Luo doesn’t treat me as an outsider, let’s not waste time. Let’s sign the contract now.”
Luo Chengcheng was extremely surprised. He thought about his brother’s refusal to sign the contract earlier and hesitated, but ultimately, with the mindset of not making money for nothing, he took out the company seal that Secretary Zheng gave him from his bag and signed the contract. At the same time, he thought, “Don’t get ahead of yourself. If it weren’t for you, this old pervert, I wouldn’t have offended my brother today. I will definitely deal with you when I get the chance. Be careful when walking alone at night.”
When he was leaving, everyone at the table came out to see him off. He knew he would be drinking tonight, so he didn’t drive and had the driver from home bring him. It wasn’t time for the driver to pick him up yet, and he didn’t want to wait, so he opened the ride-hailing app on his phone and planned to call a car.
“Manager Lou, how about I arrange for someone to give you a ride? It’s cold tonight, and you should take care of yourself,” the CEO suggested.
“No need, no need,” Luo Chengcheng quickly declined. “Please don’t trouble yourself.”
He didn’t want the CEO to drive him back because it would reveal his true intentions. After all, he was currently playing the role of the helpful younger cousin trying to mediate in his cousin’s family dispute.
At that moment, someone in the group suddenly spoke up, “How about I give Manager Luo a ride? I have a slight headache tonight, and I want to go back early. I’ll call a car to drop Manager Luo off first.”
‘No, can’t you stop causing trouble?!’ Luo Chengcheng thought to himself. He turned to look at the person who spoke and realized it was the man who had taken the contract from the table earlier.
Against his strong and inexplicable insistence, the man reluctantly called another car for himself.
A few minutes later, two taxis arrived together. Luo Chengcheng got into one of them, carrying his briefcase. He told the driver, “Fengyun Technology.” But before the car started, he noticed something was wrong. When he had signed the contract earlier, he had carelessly put the company seal into the briefcase, intending to return it to his brother later. However, now the briefcase felt light and flat.
Luo Chengcheng took out the contract and realized that when he was leaving, he must have accidentally switched briefcases with the man from the other company.
He immediately said to the driver, “Sir, please hurry and chase the car in front.”
The driver was taken aback and asked him, “Brother, are you investigating a case? Based on my experience, you shouldn’t get too close or too far when chasing a car. Getting too close can easily be noticed, and getting too far can result in losing them.”
“Sir, you’ve watched too many movies.” Luo Chengcheng interrupted him helplessly, “I grabbed the wrong briefcase. Hurry up and chase the car in front. I’ll give you five hundred yuan if you catch up.”
To his surprise, the driver not only didn’t step on the gas but also casually took out his phone.
Luo Chengcheng became anxious.
“Sir, what are you doing?”
“Young man, don’t worry,” the driver made a phone call. “Hey, Old Wang, make a U-turn and come back.”
Then Luo Chengcheng watched as the car in front of them made a turn and headed back towards them.
When he handed the money to the driver, the driver sighed, “Today’s luck is really good. I made five hundred yuan without even driving.”
Luo Chengcheng responded, “Who knew you knew the driver in front?”
He rushed as fast as he could and finally knocked on Luo Yusen’s office door when there was only one minute left until the one-hour deadline. Upon hearing a “come in,” he pushed open the door and gasped for breath as he prepared to face Luo Yusen’s reprimand.
Before facing the reprimand, he didn’t forget to hand over the contract and company seal to Luo Yusen. While handing it over, he quickly explained, “Brother, I didn’t disobey you. After a few words of persuasion, the other party voluntarily wanted to sign the contract. Since they came to us, it would be a bit… you know, if we didn’t sign it, right?”
As for how those negotiations had actually played out, that wasn’t part of his report.
Luo Yusen wasn’t an unreasonable person, and he had originally intended to finalize this business deal. He took the contract, glanced through it to ensure there were no issues, and set it aside. He locked the company seal in a safe, then leaned back in his chair to scrutinize Luo Chengcheng for a moment. “Don’t you have anything else to tell me?”
Luo Chengcheng quickly admitted his mistake, “Yes, I was wrong, brother. I shouldn’t have… shouldn’t have sent your people to accompany clients for drinks.”
Luo Yusen reached out his hand to him and said, “Unlock your phone and hand it over.”
“Huh?” Luo Chengcheng was puzzled. “Why?”
