Yue Chuan stood at the entrance of Hanjiangdong Grand Hotel, looking at the low-key yet luxurious sign, a playful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
When Lu Xiaowei, Lu Tao and two sexy public relations women saw Yue Chuan getting off the car, they hurried to greet him.
"Mr. Yue, you have worked hard on the journey..." Lu Xiaowei walked forward and held Yue Chuan's hand.
Yue Chuan glanced at the crowd behind Lu Xiaowei, smiled and nodded to everyone, then said to Lu Xiaowei, "Mr. Lu is too polite."
To show his enthusiasm and respect for Yue Chuan, Lu Xiaowei said excitedly, "Mr. Yue, it's not easy for you to come to Hanjiang. I can't wait to bring out the best things in Hanjiang and present them to you... This Dongsheng Hotel is the best hotel in Hanjiang. Of course... it may not be comparable to Yanjing. Please make do with it and stay here tonight."
Yue Chuan smiled calmly and said, "Dongsheng is quite famous... It seems to be Sun Huaide's business... Well, it's pretty good."
Sun Huaide?
Lu Xiaowei was stunned for a moment. With his level, he naturally didn't know who Sun Huaide was. But when he heard Yue Chuan mention Sun Huaide in such a calm tone, he thought that the boss behind the Dongsheng Hotel might be just an ordinary businessman. In front of Yue Chuan, a red-topped Confucian businessman, he should not be considered a big shot, so he didn't take it seriously.
The reason why Yue Chuan revealed the name of Dongsheng's boss to Lu Xiaowei was simply to show off his connections. He even recognized Sun Huaide, a young man from a wealthy family!
But he was showing off to the wrong person. He didn't expect that Lu Xiaowei had never heard of Sun Huaide, let alone knew how powerful Sun Huaide was.
Helpless, Yue Chuan smiled bitterly in his heart, thinking that Hanjiang really can't compare to Yanjing. The people here are frogs in the well and have never seen the world!
"As long as Mr. Yue likes it, it's worth my effort to book the luxurious suite here... The rooms here are very scarce! Come on, shall we go upstairs and talk?" Lu Xiaowei led the way enthusiastically.
Lu Tao followed closely behind the two, smiling and silent. Because wherever his father was, he was just a foil, just doing a good job of serving, no need to say much.
When they arrived at the box, Lu Xiaowei waited until Yue Chuan sat down in the main seat before he introduced his son to him with a smile.
He waved for Lu Tao to come over, then smiled and said to Yue Chuan, "Boss Yue, this is my son Lu Tao. He has handled a few decent cases in the past few years, but he still needs more experience. You have to take good care of him in the future."
Lu Tao walked forward with a smile, shook hands with Yue Chuan, and said, "Hello, Mr. Yue..."
With the help of the bright light in the room, Lu Tao took a closer look at the man in front of him. He was about thirty years old, well-proportioned and handsome... He was wearing a well-fitting suit and his hair was combed neatly to the side, which made him look even more outstanding.
However, Yue Chuan did not stand up when shaking hands with Lu Tao, which made people feel that this person was very arrogant and difficult to get along with.
Yue Chuan turned sideways and asked Lu Tao with a smile, "Lu Tao, right? I'll remember that you can come to me anytime. I'll give you the same treatment as your father, and I'll give you full support. Judging from your age, you must have just graduated? Which university did you graduate from? What's your education level?"
Lu Tao didn't expect Yue Chuan to ask him so many questions. He smiled innocently and answered, "I graduated three or four years ago. I have a bachelor's degree in law from Hanjiang University."
"Bachelor's degree? Not bad..." Yue Chuan showed a barely perceptible sneer on his face. Ten years ago, if someone had a bachelor's degree, they would be considered a high-end talent. But in today's society, a bachelor's degree graduate has little competitiveness... If Lu Tao didn't have a good father, he would probably be the same as those "oxen and horses" now.
Lu Tao was about to retreat.
Yue Chuan suddenly spoke again, "What a coincidence, I also graduated from Hanjiang University, also an undergraduate... But that was more than ten years ago."
oh?
It’s actually my senior brother?
Lu Tao was a little surprised. He didn't expect that Yue Chuan went to the same school as him...
"Boss Yue, what a coincidence? So I can call you Senior Brother?... Senior Brother, have you been back to Handan University recently? Handan University has undergone tremendous changes in the past two years... How about I take you around tomorrow?"
For some reason, when Lu Tao heard that Yue Chuan was an alumnus, he couldn't help but get excited, and felt that the relationship between them had suddenly become much closer... Of course, it was only his unilateral thought that the relationship had become much closer. To Yue Chuan, it didn't seem like a big deal.
After all, there are so many students graduating from Handan University, so it's not strange to meet one or two alumni from the same school. Moreover, as far as we know, none of the students who graduated from Handan University in the past ten years have done better than him. There is no point in being friends with someone who is not as good as you.
But seeing how warmly Lu Xiaowei had received him, Yue Chuan rarely showed a warm smile. He nodded to Lu Tao and said, "I am honored to be your senior. If you can finish your work in the next two days, I would like you to accompany me to visit Handan University. I will also visit my former teachers. I am very grateful for their care for me over the years."
Yue Chuan deliberately emphasized the word "grateful". He was a poor student from the countryside at that time, and no one had ever taken special care of him... He wanted to go back and take a look, simply because he wanted to show his current identity and status in front of those teachers who looked down on him in the past, to make them regret and feel ashamed!
Seeing that Yue Chuan and Lu Tao were having a great conversation, Lu Xiaowei didn't want to disturb them, so he just stood aside and listened to them chatting with a smile.
Lu Tao talked about the changes in the school in recent years in front of Yue Chuan, and he was talking with great enthusiasm...
Yue Chuan lit up a cigarette, smiled, and listened... He was just showing his support and didn't take anything to heart.
When Lu Tao was about to finish his topic, Yue Chuan suddenly asked, "Among your classmates, are there any who are in the system? Who is doing the best?"
Yue Chuan asked casually out of interest. In the past two years, he had a bold idea to win over Lu Chengze's resources, absorb some fresh blood, and establish a "Handa Gang" to expand his business territory in the future.
Lu Tao didn't think too much about it. He counted on his fingers and said, "There are quite a few people in the system, but they have just started working. You also know that the system values seniority. It is estimated that they will have to endure another ten or eight years before they can succeed, but..."
Lu Tao had already thought of Li Lin, and deliberately emphasized his tone, wanting to show off to Yue Chuan how fast his classmate had been promoted. He smiled and said, "But I have a good brother who has only been in the system for three or four years, and now he is a deputy county-level cadre."
"Oh?" Yue Chuan was surprised. He estimated Lu Tao's age to be in his twenties. His classmates had been in the system for no more than five years... He had reached the deputy director level so quickly, which meant that his background was not simple. He asked curiously, "What's his name and where does he work? Maybe we'll have a chance to meet in the future."
Lu Tao was waiting for Yue Chuan to ask this question, and said with a smug smile, "His name is Li Lin, the deputy head of Shannan County."
Li Lin?!
The guy who sent Lu Yuanfeng in?
Oh shit...it’s him?
Yue Chuan was stunned. The cigarette between his fingers shook accidentally because of surprise, and the ash fell on his expensive trousers, but he was completely unaware of it.
