Lu Group.
President Lu (Lu Heng) stood in front of the French window in his office, smoking a cigarette in his right hand from time to time.
He frowned slightly, with a hint of sadness on his face.
At this time, his assistant (Xiao Qidong) came in with a stack of documents and knocked on the door.
"Mr. Lu, I've found the information you wanted. Please take a look." Xiao Qidong placed the document on Lu Heng's desk.
Lu Heng turned around. He had an ordinary appearance but deep eyes. His dark eyes always revealed a calculating light and a hint of viciousness.
He was wearing a well-tailored dark suit and a neatly tied tie. His overall look was calm and dignified.
Xiao Qidong had been by his side for several years and had a good understanding of his temperament. "Mr. Lu, Fu's company has been closely scrutinizing you lately. Are you sure your cooperation with that person will successfully win this bid?"
Lu Heng sat down casually on the chair, "At least there's a 50% chance.
We've suffered so many losses at the hands of the Fu family. Given the caution of Fu Nanting and his nephew, they must have a backup plan. But this time, they didn't reveal it, so they must have had doubts.
Xiao Qidong, "Do we need to change our data?
In case their backup plan data is lower,..."
Lu Heng sneered, "Lower it by two points,
I don't believe their backup plan is lower than two points.
Besides, the cooperation with that person is just a guarantee. The most important thing is the cooperation with Jones.
I believe that as long as he is not stupid, he will accept my conditions.
He knows exactly what is more important, a group or a partnership."
Xiao Qidong was a little worried. "But the bidding meeting is the day after tomorrow, and Jones hasn't replied to you yet. Will there be any changes on the M Group side?"
Lu Heng narrowed his eyes, “This is what I’m confused about.
They delayed for no reason.
Jones didn't reply nor refused, and I didn't know what he was up to.
The conditions I offered were so tempting that I didn't believe he would remain indifferent.
But there are still two days left, let's see how the situation goes.
If Jones ultimately refuses to cooperate, the worst-case scenario would be that Fu's people wouldn't be able to show up at the bidding meeting."
Lu Heng looked through the information Xiao Qidong had sent him. After he finished reading it, he said, "That's all. Haven't you found the person who did it?"
Xiao Qidong shook his head, "No.
However, I suspect that the two groups of people who assassinated Fu Yanli were probably the work of the same person."
Lu Heng closed the file and said, "Keep investigating. The enemy of my enemy is my friend. If we can find out the other party's identity, it will only benefit us.
The Fu family has been prosperous in the imperial capital for too long, and the Lu family alone cannot pry them apart.
We need to find a few more like-minded people to share them."
…
evening.
Wanda Plaza was bustling with people.
The towering buildings and the bright lights complement each other.
There are many shops in the mall, ranging from high-end fashion to trendy brands, from exquisite food to leisure and entertainment.
A new hot pot restaurant opened in a store outside the mall, and business was booming. Huo Zi was greedy and dragged Tong Miaomiao to join in the fun.
The two came to the store, which was crowded with people. The air was filled with the spicy and fragrant smell, which stimulated their taste buds.
"Wow, that smells good, is there any room left?
If I had known earlier, I would have made a reservation." Huo Zi was wearing a casual off-white sportswear and a pair of white sneakers, simple yet fashionable.
Tong Miaomiao was wearing a black sportswear, and the two people's outfits, one black and one white, formed a sharp contrast.
The store was bustling with people, all the tables in the hall were occupied, the soup in the hot pot was boiling, and the customers were sweating profusely while eating.
Tong Miaomiao took Huo Zi's hand and said, "Looking at this situation, the seat must be sold out. Why don't we come back another day? There are too many people in the past two days since the opening."
Huo Zi thought that since they were already here, it would be a waste of time if they didn't eat. "Let's go ask the waiter if there are any seats left, or if there are any customers who are almost finished eating. It's okay for us to wait a while.
I’m craving this flavor today.”
Tong Miaomiao had never refused Huo Zi's request. She pinched Huo Zi's face and said, "Okay, since you want to eat it so much, I will accompany you to eat this hot pot even if it takes until closing time today."
Huo Zi smiled and kissed Tong Miaomiao on the face, "I knew that Bao loves me the most." The intimate actions of the two attracted a lot of people's attention, and some people with poor eyesight thought they were lesbians.
Some women were jealous of their looks and said, "What a waste of money to have such a good face! I didn't expect it to be crooked."
One of them was the woman who had once bullied Huo Zi.
The woman's parents were powerful figures in the imperial capital. When they saw Huo Zi, they thought of the scene where Huo Zi was stepped on by her a few years ago.
She came here today with her younger sister, and when they met, the atmosphere instantly became subtle.
The woman's name is Zhang Jiayi. She has a seductive face, wears heavy makeup, and wears 8cm high heels.
Dressed like a little gangster.
Even so, she was still outshined by Huo Zi who was wearing flat shoes.
Although Huo Zi has the original owner's memories, the original owner and Zhang Jiayi have not met for several years.
When they met now, she just thought Zhang Jiayi was a stranger who also came to this restaurant to eat, and her eyes did not linger on her.
Because of her indifferent gaze, Zhang Jiayi instantly became unhappy.
Because of her parents, she has always been a domineering figure in the imperial capital. Everyone who sees her must be polite to her and try to curry favor with her.
But Huo Zi dared to ignore her.
