An Understated Dominance

Chapter 01

“Lu Chen, this is the divorce agreement prepared by General Manager Li. Sign it.”

In the president’s office of Qingcheng Group.

Secretary Zhang, wearing an OL uniform, put an A4 paper on the table.

Opposite him sat a man dressed simply and handsome.

“Divorce? What does that mean?” Lu Chen was slightly stunned.

“Lu Chen, don’t you understand? Your marriage with General Manager Li has come to an end. You two are no longer people from the same world. Your existence is a stumbling block for General Manager Li!” Secretary Zhang spoke mercilessly. “

Stumbling block?”

Lu Chen frowned slightly: “So, this is what she thinks of me?”

When the two got married, the Li family was in a low position and was heavily in debt.

It was him who helped the Li family through the difficult times.

Unexpectedly, now that they have wealth and glory, Li Qingyao is going to kick him away. “You can think so.” Secretary Zhang raised his chin and pointed to the magazine on the table. On the exquisite cover, there was a stunning beauty who was so beautiful that

she could overwhelm the whole country. “Lu Chen, look at the title of this magazine. In just three years, General Manager Li’s net worth has exceeded 1 billion. Not only has she created a miracle, but she has also become the most sought-after female CEO in the entire Jiangling! With her beauty and ability, she is destined to stand on the clouds and be admired by thousands of people! And you? You are just an ordinary person with nothing to offer, and you are not worthy of her at all, so I hope that you can have some self-knowledge!” Seeing that Lu Chen remained silent, Secretary Zhang frowned and said, “I know you are unwilling, but this is the fact. Maybe you have helped General Manager Li before, but in the past three years, she has paid back what she owed. Now, you owe her!” “Is marriage just a transaction?” Lu Chen took a deep breath and tried his best to suppress his emotions: “If you want to divorce, let Li Qingyao come and talk to me in person.” “General Manager Li is very busy, so there is no need to trouble her with such a small matter.” “It’s a small matter?” Lu Chen was stunned for a moment, then laughed at himself: “Really? In her eyes, divorce is just a small matter? She doesn’t even have time to meet me and say a few words? She is… really unattainable now!” “Lu Chen, now that things have come to this, let’s stop talking nonsense.” Secretary Zhang pushed the agreement forward: “As long as you sign it, you will not only have a car and a house, but also get a compensation of 8 million. You know, this is money you can’t earn in your lifetime!” “Eight million is indeed a lot, but unfortunately… I don’t need it. If you want a divorce, let her come in person, otherwise I won’t sign.” Lu Chen said coldly. “Lu Chen! Don’t push it too far!” Secretary Zhang slammed the table and shouted: “Don’t blame me for not warning you. With President Li’s current power and status, it’s easy to divorce you, but she misses the old times and wants to leave you some dignity. You’d better not challenge her bottom line!” “Dignity?” Lu Chen just felt a little funny. If she doesn’t even want to show up for a divorce, what dignity can she talk about? Besides, if she really misses the old times, how could she say such threatening words? “In my opinion, there is nothing more to talk about.” Lu Chen was too lazy to say anything more, so he stood up and prepared to leave. “Mr. Lu! You——” Secretary Zhang was about to explode. A stunning woman in a black long skirt, with a thin waist and a perky butt, pushed the door open and walked in. The woman’s skin was as white as cream, her facial features were exquisite and perfect, and her figure was even more graceful and perfect. Coupled with her cold temperament, the whole person seemed like a fairy walking out of a painting, which was particularly stunning! “You are finally willing to show up.” Looking at the peerless woman in front of him, Lu Chen had mixed feelings for a while. After three years of marriage, the two sides have always been respectful to each other. But in the end, it still came to this point. In fact, he didn’t even know what he had done wrong? “Sorry, I just had something to do and came late.” Li Qingyao took a seat automatically, with an expression as indifferent as ever. “Mr. Li is really a busy man, so busy…even the divorce needs someone to do it for him.” Lu Chen said. Hearing this, Li Qingyao couldn’t help but frown slightly. But she did not explain, but said: “Since you are here, let’s talk business. No more unnecessary words. This time, just consider it as my apology to you, let’s part ways in peace. After the divorce, the house and car will all belong to you, and I will give you 8 million as a breakup fee, how about it?” After that, she put a card on the table. “Do you think that feelings can be measured by money?” Lu Chen asked suddenly. “Too little? OK… You can ask whatever you want, as long as I can satisfy it.” Li Qingyao looked indifferent. “It seems that you don’t understand what I mean. Okay, then I’ll ask it another way. Are money and power really that important?” Lu Chen was puzzled. Li Qingyao walked to the French window, overlooking the entire steel city, and said with a firm look: “At least for me, it is very important!” “But the money you earn now is enough for you to have food and clothing for the rest of your life, is it that important?” “Lu Chen, this is the gap between you and me, you will never understand what I am thinking.” Li Qingyao shook her head in disappointment. The two have come to this day, not only because of the difference in status, but also the difference in spiritual level. The most important thing is that she doesn’t see any hope in the other person. “Yeah… How do I know what you are thinking?” Lu Chen smiled self-deprecatingly: “I will only cook for you when you are hungry, bring you clothes when you are cold, and carry you to the hospital when you are sick.” “It’s meaningless to talk about this now.” A complex flashed in Li Qingyao’s eyes, but it was soon replaced by determination. “That’s true.” Lu Chen nodded without comment, and then said: “I heard that you have been very close to the young master of the Yang family recently? Is it because of him?” Li Qingyao was about to say no, but after thinking about it, she finally nodded: “You can understand it this way.” “Okay, then I wish you happiness.” Lu Chen smiled faintly and signed the divorce agreement directly. There was no hesitation, no hesitation, only frustration. Ironically, today happened to be their wedding anniversary. Getting married and getting divorced on the same day, what a ridiculous thing. “I don’t need money or anything, but you have to return the jade pendant to me, because it is my mother’s relic and also the proof of being the daughter-in-law of the Lu family.” Lu Chen pointed at her collar. “Yes.” Li Qingyao nodded, took off the jade pendant and handed it over. “From today on, you and I owe each other nothing!” After Lu Chen hung up the jade pendant, he stood up and left. At this moment, his eyes were no longer gentle, but indifferent.

“Secretary Zhang, do you think I did the right thing?” Li Qingyao’s eyes were a little complicated.

Although she was the one who proposed the divorce, when it really came to this point, she found that she seemed to be unhappy at all.

“Of course!”

Secretary Zhang nodded heavily: “You have the right to pursue happiness. The current Lu Chen is not worthy of you at all. He will only affect your pace of progress. You are destined to be the woman standing at the top of Jiangling!”

Li Qingyao didn’t say anything, just looking at the lonely back, her heart inexplicably ached.

It seemed that something important was slowly passing away….
