During the day she was gentle, and at night she was passionate; that was Lu Yanzhi's evaluation of her.
However, when Han Wei said she had less than six months to live, Lu Yanzhi did not ...
Chapter 96 The Chinese name of that wine is: Nian
"Ding ding..."
Just then, a crisp knocking sound came, the lights dimmed, and then a beam of light focused on the stage.
Lu Xinyi, wearing a strapless dress, appeared in everyone's sight.
"Everyone!"
Lu Xinyi smiled brightly and said, "Welcome everyone to my return-to-China introductory meeting. From today onwards, I, Lu Xinyi, officially announce my return to work in China. I hope that everyone will..."
Lu Yanzhi is the only son of his lineage, but the Lu family also has a Miss Lu, which refers to Lu Xinyi.
Lu Xinyi is Lu Yanzhi's cousin and the apple of Lu Qiansheng's eye. She is also very capable. During her studies, she handled some overseas-related company affairs. Now, she has returned from studying at an Ivy League university in France and is a bright new star in the Lu family. She has enough pride to deserve the title of Miss Lu.
Lu Xinyi's speech certainly didn't stop there; she spoke eloquently on stage, and Shi Nian overheard people whispering among themselves.
"A master's degree in finance, and the kind that gets scholarships, graduating with straight A's, this Miss Lu is truly remarkable."
"Yes, two years ago when she was 23, she handled an extremely dangerous overseas matter in Country F. I heard there was even a shootout there. She personally took part in it. Country F doesn't have gun control like we do here. She really dared to do it."
"That's right, otherwise how could she be worthy of being called Miss Lu? She's not the only girl in the Lu family this generation."
"I heard that she handled most of the liaison work in Country F and has accumulated a lot of resources over the years. I wonder which department she will join this time she comes back."
...
Amidst the discussions, Lu Yanzhi's phone vibrated once again.
He frowned slightly, took out his phone and glanced at it; it was a call from Secretary Zhou.
Secretary Zhou?
After thinking for a moment, Lu Yanzhi got up and went to a quieter place to answer the phone.
"What is it?" Lu Yanzhi asked.
Secretary Zhou sounded a little anxious: "President Lu, these past few days, strangers have been staking out the company and asking around. I had my people investigate, and we just got accurate information that they are police officers."
police?
Lu Yanzhi frowned even more.
"What were the police investigating at the Lu family's place? Have they found out?"
A behemoth like the Lu family has no shortage of dealings with the police, but most of these are related to disputes or specific matters. Private investigations like this are relatively rare.
There are usually some details that are not convenient for them to know at the moment, and they need to be investigated.
“The police are very cautious. They ask all sorts of questions, including about your relationship with your wife, Mr. Lu, and about Ms. Han Wei. Most of their questions are in the form of gossip,” Secretary Zhou replied immediately. “But after filtering, the questions they ask most frequently, or rather, their ultimate target, is Li Yanqing.”
Li Yanqing!
Lu Yanzhi narrowed his eyes dangerously.
Why did the police take notice of Li Yanqing?
Could it be that matter...?
"Is there any current location for Li Yanqing?" Lu Yanzhi's voice was slightly cold.
"We still haven't found it, Mr. Lu. The cover-up by the lower levels has dragged on for too long, and many clues have long since disappeared." Secretary Zhou was somewhat panicked again.
If that matter were to be exposed... it would truly trigger a series of consequences.
That was a terrible incident.
Since the initial choice was made to suppress it, actively stirring it up now would have little effect, not to mention...
"Keep searching, send more people, we must find Li Yanqing!" Lu Yanzhi's voice was cold. "The police should observe the situation and see what's going on."
Lu Yanzhi knew that since the police had kept it secret from the beginning, they probably wouldn't be able to get anything out of him, so he could only wait.
"Yes!" Secretary Zhou immediately went to do it.
After hanging up the phone, Lu Yanzhi glanced at Shi Nian sitting in her seat.
Should we tell Shi Nian about that?
He wasn't sure.
As he was thinking, he checked his phone and found a message from Han Wei after she didn't answer his call.
[Brother Yanzhi, the police contacted me about Li Yanqing. What should I do?]
After a short interval, another message appeared.
I made a rough excuse, saying I wasn't feeling well and declined, but I figured they'd come back later. So I'm coming to find you now so we can discuss what to say. It'll only be a little while, about ten minutes, and won't interfere with your wine tasting.
Just as he finished reading, Lu Yanzhi's phone vibrated again; it was Han Wei calling.
As if sensing something, Shi Nian, who was sitting in her seat, raised her head and looked at Lu Yanzhi in the aisle to the side.
Then I saw him frowning, holding his phone and saying something, before quickly leaving.
What happened?
She couldn't quite make it out, but she didn't want to delve into it any further.
She came here mainly to resolve two issues.
The first thing was Lu Yanzhi's inquiry, which resolved the trouble Lu Yanzhi had caused by going to find Sisi.
Now that we've given him enough time to discuss this in detail, we can consider this matter closed.
The second thing is Lu Xinyi.
What exactly is Lu Xinyi trying to do?
And for what reason?
Shi Nian looked at Lu Xinyi over there.
At this moment, Lu Xinyi's speech was coming to an end.
She gently raised her hand.
Then, several waiters pushed in a long table.
The long table was piled high with countless cups and goblets, each filled with glistening liquid that shone exceptionally brightly under the light.
"This is something I specially brought from a privately owned winery in Country F. It contains many wines that are hard to find on the market now, and even some of the winery's own wines."
Lu Xinyi spoke softly, but her eyes swept towards Shi Nian's direction.
The smile on her face carried a hint of emotion.
"And among these homemade wines, there is one that is even more precious."
She said, "That wine was made by the winery owner himself, and he named it Miss."
Miss?
Does it have any special significance?
Shi Nian picked up the introduction on the table and glanced at it.
The description of this wine appeared before her eyes with ease.
Miss, the winery owner's homemade wine, was made 4 years ago; it's a red wine.
"Four years, that sounds ordinary, what's so special about it?"
"Yes, the other wines on this wine list are much more expensive, like La Romanee Conti, which is more befitting of Miss Lu's status, isn't it?"
"Didn't we just say that Miss is made by the winery owner himself? Doesn't that mean the winery owner is someone special?"
"Possibly, but who could it be?"
...
While everyone was discussing it, Shi Nian noticed the Chinese name of the wine.
read.
Just one word: read.
It was made and named by the winery owner himself.
In Country F, four years ago, Shi Nian raised her head and looked at Lu Xinyi on the stage.
Lu Xinyi was also looking at her.
Not far away, Lu Yanzhi, who was discussing things with Han Wei at the side door, also looked at Shi Nian as if he had sensed something.
