Chapter 73: Chapter 70 A Big DealZhang Lu entered the villa, she was here to discuss business. The last time she visited, Chu Mengyao was upset about Ye Fan leaving, so it wasn’t mentioned. Now there was finally this opportunity.

    The suggestion from Old Fu that she should sleep with the Terminator was completely disregarded. She was particularly attentive to those who associated with Chu Biyao, but sleeping with the Terminator was ridiculous. How could she have such skills? Besides, no one knew who the Terminator was, and going to bed with him was out of the question. If the Terminator turned out to be a complete pervert, how could she sacrifice herself?

    Despite the unimaginable value of the Terminator, sacrificing her dignity was not an option.

    "Chu Biyao, please step aside. I need to discuss some business with Chu Mengyao and Ye Fan." Zhang Lu got straight to the point.

    "Why so secretive and wanting me to leave?" Chu Biyao was displeased.

    "This is a confidential matter. Ye Fan and Chu Mengyao need to sign non-disclosure agreements. It’s better for you not to be curious." Zhang Lu reminded her.

    "Hmph, I’m not interested in knowing anyway." Chu Biyao stuck out her tongue, swaying as she walked away.

    She guessed that Zhang Lu had brought a big deal for her sister, so she didn’t interfere.

    Zhang Lu said, "Shen Yahut has already mentioned my requirements, right? The Chu Group wants to expand and grow, but it’s difficult. The business opportunity I’m bringing would make even a business tycoon envious. It depends on whether President Chu wants to cooperate. The research work of Zhao Shiyan’s father needs confidentiality. It’s better for you not to know about classified matters. The upper echelons have fully entrusted me with this task. The Chu Group just needs to build a factory and use the Chu Group’s name as a cover. The research work inside requires high confidentiality. I won’t interfere with the construction and site selection, which will be fully decided by the Chu Group. I will provide detailed blueprints of what the factory should look like. All costs will be borne by the Chu Group."

    "Once the factory is completed, secret personnel will take over. The Chu Group will receive five percent of the net profit, which will amount to at least several billion a year. The funds required to build the factory are insignificant. The Chu Group just needs to focus on confidentiality. Furthermore, if anything major happens, the safety of the factory will be entirely the responsibility of the Chu Group, which means handing it over to Ye Fan reassures me. Additionally, in a few days, I’ll need to borrow Ye Fan for three days to assist us in protecting Zhao Shiyan’s father."

    "This is a lucrative deal, and the relevant departments will give the Chu Group preferential treatment with endless benefits."

    Zhang Lu laid out all her conditions without reservation. Having witnessed Ye Fan’s capabilities, she believed this was the right course of action.

    In truth, she had used some influence to secure this deal for the Chu Group.

    Originally, the upper echelons had decided to privately hand this matter over to Meng Hao’s father, Meng Yinglong, but she intercepted it.

    The main purpose was to hide from prying eyes, so external forces seeking information would not find the factory’s location. The less involvement from the organization, the fewer troubles there would be.

    "Such a good opportunity, really makes me flattered that it’s given to me," Chu Mengyao was very surprised.

    She understood that taking this deal would offer long-term help for the Chu Group. The country’s support was an enormous benefit, something money couldn’t buy. More importantly, there were abundant profits, practically gifting benefits.

    The key point was to have Ye Fan assist in security work, which naturally involved considerable danger.

    "Zhang Lu, I’ve heard that you have a substantial background. Are you deliberately helping behind the scenes?" Chu Mengyao seriously inquired.

    "That’s right, I’ve contributed, but Zhao Shiyan also made efforts. After all, this is research done by Zhao Shiyan’s father. Considering that Ye Fan had once saved Zhao Shiyan, we managed to have this matter fall on the Chu Group’s shoulders," Zhang Lu disclosed without any reservations.

    In fact, she had exerted considerable effort behind the scenes. Zhao Shiyan and her father’s influence was much smaller compared to hers. During Zhao Shiyan’s birthday party, if Ye Fan hadn’t intervened in time, Zhao Shiyan would have died. The poison needle was highly toxic; once touched, it would be fatal. Moreover, when the needle flew out at that speed, Ye Fan managed to control the needle between his fingers. The display of strength left Zhang Lu increasingly impressed with Ye Fan, which was her main reason for striving so hard.

    Almost, Zhang Lu’s protection efforts would have failed. This was also a way to show her gratitude.

    Additionally, she had a good impression of Chu Mengyao, so she felt she should help without hesitation.

    "Ye Fan, what do you think?" Chu Mengyao looked at Ye Fan. She needed to consult him, as Ye Fan would face danger. She didn’t know how dangerous it might be, and despite her willingness to accept the deal, if Ye Fan was unwilling or if there was significant danger, she would never agree. To her, nothing was more important than Ye Fan.

    "Even if there’s danger, you’ll manage. I suppose you won’t refuse, right?" Zhang Lu said confidently.

    Ye Fan thought for a moment and agreed to Zhang Lu’s proposal. For the Chu Group, this indeed was a lucrative business deal; there was no reason to refuse. By putting in a little effort, he could help the Chu Group grow and prosper. He was pleased to see such results and wanted to do something for Chu Mengyao. He couldn’t just indulge in living with Chu Mengyao, using her resources, without doing anything in return.

    "I’ll be the man behind you. If there’s something you can’t handle, let me take care of it," Ye Fan looked at Chu Mengyao with gentle eyes.

    "You don’t need to worry about my feelings. If you don’t want to do it, we won’t force you." Chu Mengyao felt delighted in her heart.

    "Yes, of course we’ll do it. Such a good business opportunity should surely be taken." Ye Fan replied.

    "Alright, I’ll follow your lead." Chu Mengyao’s voice was soft.

    "The look and tone of you two... Are you having a romantic conversation? Why does it feel strange?" Zhang Lu glanced at the two again and again. "You, the dignified President of the Chu Group, Huaxia Country’s number one businesswoman, are actually such a pushover, listening to Ye Fan for everything. Where’s your decision-making?"

    Zhang Lu found Chu Mengyao’s reaction very peculiar, so different from what she knew. sea??h thё Novёl?ire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

    "Bring over the confidentiality agreement and we’ll sign it." Chu Mengyao maintained a stern expression, still as cold as a perpetual iceberg, showing no change of emotion. However, in her heart, there was immense happiness.

    Both Zhang Lu’s words and her interactions with Ye Fan filled her with joy.

    "Here." Zhang Lu took out the relevant documents and placed them in front of the two.

    After the job was done, Zhang Lu started with her personal affairs. She shouted loudly, "Chu Biyao, come out quickly, I want your autograph."
