Grandma frowned and looked at her: "Why are you wandering around?"
Lu Shuying said, "I wanted to go listen to what Gu Yuqing and the others were talking about, but they didn't like me, so I stopped talking once I got there. Oh, and they were also talking about Chen Ya."
"Take Mr. and Mrs. Liu to their seats." Grandma checked the time. "It's almost time."
As he was speaking, another couple appeared at the elevator entrance behind Liu Debing. The man was tall and handsome, and the woman was quite elegant.
Grandma smiled and said, "Mr. Xia, Teacher Fang, you are here too."
Xia Zhijian said in a loud voice: "Old lady, how are you these days?"
"Thanks to you, I'm in good health."
Liu Debing looked at Xia Zhijian for a while and nodded as a greeting.
Soldiers like Xia Zhijian are far from his world, and he has always kept his distance from them.
Grandma turned around and said to Lu Shuying, "Then take them in with you."
Lu Shuying smiled and led the two couples into the main hall. She turned around and asked Liu Debing, "Uncle Liu, have you found Ruyan?"
Hearing about Liu Ruyan, Liu Debing was filled with anger. Liu's mother quickly said, "We did look for her. Her father also called her many times, but they always ended up arguing. The child just wouldn't come back."
"Well, what a pity," Lu Shuying said, "I heard that this time, Old Master Lu might officially announce the engagement between the two families at the banquet."
Mother Liu looked back at her husband and said, "This way, we can strengthen our relationship, which is also quite good."
Liu Debing didn't say anything.
The origin of the Liu and Lu families can be traced back to the previous generation of the two families. Liu Debing's father was also a worker in Old Master Lu's mine.
In a production accident, Liu Debing's father was trapped under rocks, and it was Old Master Lu who dug him out with his own hands.
After that, he lost one eye, and then Old Master Lu took special care of the Liu family. Later, when the Liu family wanted to go into business, it was Old Master Lu who provided the money.
The Lu family's subsequent prosperity after the millennium was also due to the Liu family. It was Liu Debing who led the Lu family's children in stock trading and business, which enabled the Lu family's business to grow.
Later, the Lu family, with its connections all over the world, had a business scale far exceeding that of the Liu family, and the relationship between the two families remained intact. This is how the marriage arrangement by Old Master Lu came about.
Old Master Lu was impressed by Liu Debing's business talent and insisted on this marriage. Times have changed. So many years have passed, and Liu Debing has retreated to the second line, but the Lu family is still strong.
If he had a choice, Liu Debing would certainly hope to let his daughter arrange this marriage.
Mother Liu muttered, "Chen Ya, Chen Ya, why do I feel like I've heard this name somewhere before?"
"Chen Ya?" Xia Zhijian, who was following the three people, heard the name and looked at Fang Bai beside him. Both of them thought of something.
"Ms. Lu, where is Chen Ya? We want to see him." Xia Zhijian said to Lu Shuying.
This time, Lu Shuying was really surprised: "You also know Chen Ya? This time I'm really curious about who Chen Ya is. It's a pity that he is not here now."
"He didn't come?" Xia Zhijian and Fang Bo could not hide their disappointment.
"He said he had something to do. By the way, Teacher Fang, guess who just came?" Lu Shuying didn't keep the secret and said with a smile, "Principal Yang is here too."
"Mr. Yang?" Fang Bai was a little surprised.
She is a professor at Kyoto University, and since the president is here, of course she must be surprised.
"He was sitting over there, and Director Cao Kun was sitting next to him."
Xia Zhijian glanced at Fang Bai and said, "Let's go say hello."
Fang Bai nodded, and Liu Debing said, "Then let's go and say hello too."
The group walked to the main hall, where Liu Ruying and Lu Qingxuan were sitting. Liu Debing happened to meet Liu Ruying's eyes, and Liu Ruying also saw him.
"Dad..." Liu Ruying stood up immediately.
Liu Debing paused, then looked away and said with a smile, "Principal Yang, Director Cao, how are you?"
Liu Ruying's expression did not change, but a layer of disappointment still covered her heart.
She actually knew in her heart that her uncle never treated her as a real daughter.
Perhaps his gamble was really a joke, just as his parents and brother thought.
Yang Changshuo saw Liu Debing, and then saw Xia Zhijian behind Liu Debing. He immediately grabbed a life-saving straw and waved his hand, saying:
"Xia Zhijian, come here."
"What's wrong?" Xia Zhijian strode over, saw Xia You beside him, and nodded at her with a smile.
"You've arrived just in time," Yang Changshuo introduced him. "Look at these people over here. This is President Qin Yunchu, this is President Gu Yuqing, this is Young Master Wang, this is Young Master Li Jiayi from the Xuanyuan Chamber of Commerce, and this is Cao Kunguan... You should all be familiar with them, right?"
Xia Zhijian said, "Some of them look familiar, some are unfamiliar, but I know they are all talented and capable people."
"I can't take it, I can't take it," Qin Yunchu smiled and waved his hands, "You are the pillar of the country."
Although Xia Zhijian's reputation is not in the business world, it is well-known to them.
Such a young and powerful figure, as children of aristocratic families, is often mentioned by their families.
After Xia Zhijian greeted them one by one, Yang Changshuo said leisurely:
"We were just talking about Chen Ya, but we came to a crucial point..."
"Chen Ya?" Xia Zhijian was stunned when he heard the name. "We were just wondering if Chen Ya was here."
"Well, they wanted to know about Chen Ya's academic achievements. I gave them a brief account of his status, but they didn't believe me. The main reason was that I didn't know which of his achievements could be made public and which couldn't. Since you're a professional, why don't you check it out?"
