Lu Yin raised his eyelids and drank the cup of tea in one gulp.
Before he could say anything, Han Rui, who was watching from the side, suddenly burst into laughter.
She took a new cup and poured Qi Nuan a cup of the same flower tea she was drinking.
"Thanks."
Qi Nuan did not refuse the beautiful woman's flower tea. He took it and took a sip. It was very fragrant.
"Haha, I'm sorry. Boss Lu and I have known each other since we were kids, and he's usually the one who rejects girls. This is the first time I've seen a girl be so disrespectful to him."
Qi Nuan glanced at Lu Yin and thought: Yes, he must take advantage of the favor and become arrogant.
Lu Yin seemed to be able to hear her thoughts and glanced at her with a smile in his eyes.
Qi Nuan quickly put away his smug thoughts and lowered his head, pretending to concentrate on drinking his tea.
Han Rui pursed her lips and laughed again.
Lu Yin knocked on the table: "It's time to continue."
She picked up the cup and took two sips of the scented tea before suppressing her smile.
"I heard that Tang Yinghai embezzled over 20% of Hongsheng Electronics' export profits to Southeast Asia. However, because he was Vice Chairman Gu Hui's subordinate, his suspension was only a temporary measure to show off to outsiders."
Ah... so it's this kind of topic.
Qi Nuan held the cup and rubbed it. She wanted to know the inside story, but she also felt conflicted as if she would get deeper and deeper into trouble after hearing it.
Han Rui heard the news from somewhere and seemed very confident.
"Since Mr. Gu's passing, the Gu Group has been plagued by bad news. Tang Yinghai was also implicated in the Hongsheng Electronics incident, where they deliberately falsified their asset inventory. He was sued by the general manager of Huaying Auto, your cousin, demanding repayment of 500 million yuan in debt."
She shrugged, feeling quite helpless.
"These are all circumstances that will worsen Hongsheng Electronics' operating performance, but from what I've heard from Mr. Gu's confidants, he doesn't seem to be affected at all and is desperately trying to cover up the corruption."
Lu Yin leaned back in his chair, stroking his chin thoughtfully.
"Where's Young Master Gu?"
"He wasn't Madam Gu's son in the first place, so he doesn't have much competitiveness. Mr. Gu wasn't very satisfied with him either, so he sent him abroad a long time ago and gave him a non-core branch to run. He doesn't seem to be dissatisfied and just muddles along."
Lu Yin nodded: "It seems that the will has nothing to do with him anymore."
Qi Nuan listened to their conversation quietly, feeling a little bored.
"But, I heard that Mr. Gu had a girl he loved deeply more than 20 years ago, and she gave birth to a daughter for him."
Han Rui put down the teacup and suddenly smiled at Qi Nuan.
"Even the senior executives at the Gu Corporation are saying that although this daughter couldn't be recognized due to Mrs. Gu's obstruction, Mr. Gu did leave her many things in his will."
Qi Nuan pursed her lips as she looked at Han Rui's seemingly unintentional smile.
I didn’t expect the news to spread so widely. I wonder if they have mentioned Qi Meng’s name.
"Okay, that's all for today. Thank you for your hard work."
Lu Yin smiled and nodded to Han Rui, indicating that she could leave.
Han Rui stood up.
Seeing that Lu Yin didn't move, Qi Nuan didn't move either. She still sat there, but prepared to watch him go.
Han Rui looked at her and said, "Mrs. Lu is indeed as beautiful and interesting as the rumors say. I'm sorry that we can't chat with you tonight due to limited time. I hope I can invite you alone next time."
Qi Nuan nodded and replied politely, "My pleasure."
Han Rui showed her perfect smile again and turned to leave.
Compared to her enchanting and gorgeous long dress that perfectly accentuated her body curves, Qi Nuan was dressed conservatively today to meet Grandpa Lu.
Feeling Lu Yin move closer, Qi Nuan looked at Han Rui's graceful back and asked, "Does she like you?"
The person next to him chuckled.
"No, she likes money and status."
Although it was not a happy thing to have someone thinking about your husband, Qi Nuan was not very happy when she heard his mocking tone of another woman after he denied it.
"Didn't you ask me to take you home? It's getting late, we should go."
Qi Nuan turned around and habitually raised her left hand to check the time. When she saw her empty wrist, she realized that her watch was gone.
She lowered her head to hide her embarrassment and muttered softly, "I'm not used to it yet."
Then she saw a big hand holding an exquisite gift box and stretched it in front of her.
Qi Nuan looked up at Lu Yin, and he signaled her to open it with his eyes.
When she opened the box, she was filled with surprise.
Inside was the Breguet watch she had always coveted.
No, hers had been completely crushed by Crazy Gu.
This Breguet is obviously a brand new one.
"Didn't they say you needed to make an appointment?"
Looking at Lu Yin, her eyes were full of surprise.
Lu Yin didn't answer. He smiled faintly, grabbed Qi Nuan's left hand, and placed it on his knee.
He picked up the Breguet watch of the same model and put it on her fair wrist.
"You can't wear something you got from someone else in such a close-fitting place. This one suits you best."
Although the corners of her mouth could no longer help but rise, Qi Nuan still stretched out her right hand in front of him.
"Although the watch Agou gave me is not good, the price is still enough to buy two of them. What about the remaining difference?"
Lu Yin raised his eyebrows and smiled frivolously, "Young Master Lu's hug is worth a million, so I'll give you one to replace it?"
"Hate."
Changing his palm into a fist, Qi Nuan lightly hit his chest, retracted his left hand, and habitually touched the watch dial.
Lu Yin didn't feel any pain at all. He stood up, took off his coat and put it on the back of the chair.
He unbuttoned his cuffs, rolled up both sleeves, and asked Xiang Qi Nuan, "Can you play baseball?"
Qi Nuan shook her head.
In the past, her father told her to be a lady from a wealthy family and not to study. Later, she was too exhausted to study.
However, when she saw the area in front of her that was surrounded by a high metal net, she was quite interested, so she stood up and walked over.
Lu Yin started the machine and entered the venue alone, while Qi Nuan watched from outside.
In front is an automatic pitching machine with a simulated real-life pitching image.
Following the broadcast instructions, Lu Yin got into position holding the bat.
After a series of "bang", "bang", "bang", and "bang" knocks and the sound of the ball colliding, Lu Yin pressed the stop button on the remote control.
Qi Nuan didn't understand the scoring rules, but from the fact that Lu Yin never missed the ball and the score given on the screen, she could tell that he must be a very good baseball player.
Seeing him waving in the venue, Qi Nuan opened the door and walked in.
"Try?"
She took the bat that Lu Yin handed over.
"Do you want to get out? I've never hit you once."
Qi Nuan looked back at Lu Yin who was standing behind her, and was a little worried that she might not be able to control the direction of the return ball and hit him.
Lu Yin waved his hand, signaling her not to worry, and then pressed the serve start button.
As it turned out, Qi Nuan's worries were completely unnecessary, because her bat didn't even touch the ball. It flew straight past her and hit the netting behind her.
Lu Yin paused serving again and walked over with a smile.
