Ten minutes later, back in his room, Lu Zhengjing's phone rang. It was Yang Shaoyan, the general manager of Jingsheng Company.
"Mr. Lu, Liu Wenqing, the eldest son of the Liu family, seems to have his eye on Lehu, which the Chen family bought in advance, and wants to buy it from the Chen family."
Lu Zhengjing's usually deep eyes, as calm as an ancient well, flickered slightly at this moment.
He pondered for a moment and said, "You should talk to the local person in charge in Huanshan City and ask him for a favor. Just say that the Lu family is doing business and doesn't want the Liu family to get involved."
Let him hint that it was someone from our company who bought it in advance, and that there's no need to say anything else.
As the largest investor, Jingsheng Company should agree to help out with a small favor.
“Yes, Mr. Lu. I think so too. Liu Wenqing definitely has ill intentions!” Yang Shaoyan didn’t actually fully understand Mr. Lu’s true meaning.
"Hmm." Lu Zhengjing didn't explain. The feud between the Lu family and the Liu family shouldn't involve others.
Just after hanging up the phone, Lu Zhengjing's phone rang again.
He glanced down and saw it was an unfamiliar number. Suddenly, he thought of something and instantly switched to his best state.
After the phone rang for about ten seconds, Lu Zhengjing calmly pressed the answer button with his long, slender index finger and uttered a single word in a deep voice: "Who is it?"
"Seventh Master Lu, I have received your sincerity and invitation." The man wearing gold-rimmed glasses sounded quite smug on the phone.
"Sir, who are you? You've dialed the wrong number!" Lu Zhengjing's voice was slightly cold.
"Seventh Master Lu, we're all smart people, you know who I am..."
Lu Zhengjing hung up the phone before the other party could finish speaking.
Then, he casually tossed his phone onto the bed, raised his right hand, rubbed his temples, and gave a sharp look.
He's waiting!
Sure enough, three minutes later, the phone rang again; it was the same number.
He waited patiently for a full half minute before answering, his voice flat and emotionless, "Speak!"
"Hehe... Seventh Master Lu, we are the same kind of people, aren't we?"
"You're not worthy!" Lu Zhengjing scoffed, his voice filled with disdain.
"Hahaha...you really do have ideas and interests!" The man laughed heartily on the phone, thoroughly enjoying himself.
Lu Zhengjing raised his voice: "Of course I'm interested, that is, to assist the military in capturing you."
"No, no, no... Seventh Master Lu, you can openly admit your desires in front of me, and I will absolutely not report you."
Indeed, in the past, you may have been like the military, or assisted them, in having the idea of capturing me.
But everyone has desires, and your desire, Master Lu, is the pleasure of making money.
Right, just admit it! Master Lu.
Because you gradually realize that you can't control yourself, you can't control the feeling of making money.
Isn't the feeling of being out of control particularly exhilarating and exciting?
Moreover, this feeling is getting stronger and more addictive, with no upper limit?
On the phone, the man wearing gold-rimmed glasses gave a very insightful analysis, and his tone was very certain.
Through years of comprehensive analysis of Lu Zhengjing's various behaviors, the man concluded that Lu Zhengjing was just like him, a kindred spirit.
Then, the man solemnly began to analyze his understanding of Lu Zhengjing, point by point.
For example, having an extreme, even abnormal, obsession with certain things.
Originally, the Lu family was powerful and influential, and Lu Zhengjing, who was born with a silver spoon in his mouth, was destined for greatness from the start. It was indeed unlikely that he would end up like this.
After all, this is a life that many people envy but can only dream of, a life with a bright future ahead.
However, why would Lu Zhengjing bother with business? And more importantly, the money Jingsheng Company earns is all used for various investments.
Lu Zhengjing kept not a single penny; he used it all for other purposes, and the Lu family had no intention of using it either. But where the money went remains unknown.
It's like the money only circulates within Jingxing Company once.
Could it be that Lu Zhengjing was driven by ideals, beliefs, patriotism, and a strong sense of justice?
Of course, that's not to say there aren't such people. Those military personnel who frantically chased after Black Hawk Hall, trying to capture him, were exactly like that.
But, is Lu Zhengjing one? No.
With the Lu family around, whether it's joining the military or politics, which path isn't better than being a businessman?
Or perhaps Lu Zhengjing really is 'Falcon', but would it be necessary for a 'crown prince' of the Lu family to go undercover?
It's still such a huge undertaking, all for nothing, and in the end, whether it succeeds or not, it won't be made public; it will just remain unknown.
Furthermore, I ask you, if someone were in control of such a profitable conglomerate, could they truly be without desires or ambitions?
That's impossible, and people's thoughts are not static.
It's common knowledge that Jingsheng Company is currently the fastest-growing conglomerate in China, with its assets skyrocketing and already exceeding 10 billion yuan.
Therefore, how could Lu Zhengjing really act as if he were as selfless as the outside world described him?
There's only one conclusion: Lu Zhengjing is most likely faking it.
It is highly likely that money or some other desire has already affected Lu Zhengjing, and may even have become uncontrollable.
Just like with drugs, who says that something addictive is necessarily a drug or something similar?
In fact, there are all sorts of addictive things.
It all depends on whether you can control it, or rather, whether you want to control it.
Lu Zhengjing is the same; he probably deliberately indulges himself and doesn't want to control himself, just like him.
On the other end of the phone, the man with the gold-rimmed glasses firmly believed that Lu Zhengjing's behavior was full of contradictions and very unreasonable.
It is precisely because of this that his true nature has been exposed.
Because the man with the gold-rimmed glasses had been in Beijing for a week. He was staying at a hotel opposite the Fengting Club and had been observing the city with binoculars for several days, discovering something interesting.
Lu Zhengjing was indeed not the righteous person he appeared to be.
The first time: A waiter at Fengting Club accidentally bumped into Lu Zhengjing at the entrance.
At the time, Lu Zhengjing remained expressionless and casually said that he was fine, which seemed to be in line with his status.
Indeed, Lu Zhengjing didn't need to take a waiter seriously.
But in that instant when no one saw it, Lu Zhengjing's eyes subtly flashed with disdain; it was blatant contempt for others.
Another time was the night before last, when Lu Zhengjing came out of Fengting Club and wanted to drive away.
Someone else's car was parked right next to his car, blocking it, so Lu Zhengjing's car couldn't move out for a while.
He walked straight to someone else's car, and when no one was looking, Lu Zhengjing kicked the car hard.
When he looked up, Lu Zhengjing seemed nonchalant, but his lowered eyes revealed impatience and ruthlessness.
It was also caught by the man with the gold-rimmed glasses; he saw it clearly.
Therefore, the man with the gold-rimmed glasses had reason to believe that Lu Zhengjing was not a person who followed the rules.
At this moment, in the room, listening quietly to the man speak, Lu Zhengjing seemed to have been exposed, and his voice showed a moment of panic.
Then she got very angry, but pretended to be calm and rebuked, "You're wrong, this is you, not me!"
"What's wrong, Seventh Master Lu? Are you getting angry because I hit the nail on the head? Actually, you don't need to hold it in like this."
The fact that I called you directly today shows my sincerity; let's cooperate.
Master Lu, you won't lose out. I'll reveal a little more: I can make that thing.
When the time comes, your Jingxing Company will help with the sales, and we'll split the profits 50/50, how about that?
"By joining forces, we can keep everyone in the dark and make a fortune!" The man used persuasion and enticement.
After waiting for a while, there was still no response from Lu Zhengjing.
The man with the gold-rimmed glasses thought Lu Zhengjing was still trying to pretend, so he lost patience and directly exposed him, demanding an explanation.
"What, Seventh Master Lu? All the things you did before, trying to get my attention and attract me, weren't they just to try and cooperate with me?"
This time, they even deliberately revealed that your company's next plan, a tourism investment project, is located in my hometown, Dianchi Town in Guizhou Province. Aren't they trying to send me a message?
After a moment, Lu Zhengjing slowly spoke, lowering his voice: "Why should I believe you, someone who doesn't even dare to show his true face?"
