"Haha, alright, alright! Uncle Zhou was being presumptuous. It's alright, I just came here to see you today." Zhou Heng suppressed the feeling of tightness in his chest and then burst into laughter.
Mingxiang walked over with a smile and said, "Uncle Zhou, please sit down."
Zhou Heng agreed and sat down opposite Lu Zheng.
Mingxiang and Lu Zheng then sat down.
However, after sitting down, Mingxiang deliberately reached out and took Lu Zheng's hand, while smiling and looking at Zhou Heng, she said, "Uncle Zhou, what kind of tea would you like to drink? I remember you like to drink pre-rain Longjing tea the most, right?"
Seeing Lu Zheng and Ming Xiang holding hands, Zhou Heng's heart couldn't help but beat faster.
That simmering displeasure almost made him lose his temper.
However, he managed to hold his breath.
He can't lose his temper now; he has to swallow this anger for now.
Lu Zheng and Ming Xiang are still useful to him.
It's still useful for now, at least.
Thinking of this, he laughed and said, "It really is! I really like drinking this. Haha, since you still remember, it warms my heart. This is the one."
Mingxiang smiled and turned to her secretary, saying, "Go make Uncle Zhou a cup of tea."
The secretary nodded slightly, then turned and left.
Zhou Heng then looked Lu Zheng up and down and asked, "Mr. Lu, how's business lately?"
He had just learned some things about Lu Zheng from his secretary, and Lu Zheng hadn't given him any face when he came in. So this old fox had already gained a basic understanding of Lu Zheng.
However, now that we're acting, we have to go all the way.
He looked as if he was very curious about Lu Zheng.
Lu Zheng smiled slightly and said, "Fortunately, our business has been booming. There is still a great demand for robots in various places. The robots we have developed have multiple functions, so naturally there are more people who need them."
"Hahaha! Excellent, excellent! Truly, heroes emerge from among the young, and talented individuals emerge from among the youth."
When the tea was served, Zhou Heng gently picked up the teacup and took a sip before continuing, "Oh, by the way, Uncle actually has an idea, but I don't know if I should say it!"
Lu Zheng chuckled and said, "Please go ahead!"
Ming Xiang remained silent, which was a subtle hint to Zhou Heng that Lu Zheng was extremely important to her, to the point of being irreplaceable.
Zhou Heng laughed and said, "Alright, then I'll say it. Your robotics industry is booming right now. Uncle Zhou didn't have this vision before and didn't get involved in this industry, but today, Uncle Zhou wants to invest in you. What do you think?"
Zhou Heng had ulterior motives.
As long as he gets involved in Lu Zheng's business, with Zhou Heng's years of experience in the business world, it shouldn't be a problem for him to slowly erode Lu Zheng's business.
Besides, even if he doesn't gradually erode Lu Zheng's voice, it wouldn't be a problem to slowly threaten Lu Zheng's current businesses and bring him under his control.
At that time, Lu Zheng will be nothing more than an ant in my hand.
He told Lu Zheng to go east, so Lu Zheng dared not go west; he told Lu Zheng to go south, so Lu Zheng dared not go north!
That's why Zhou Heng said those words at this time.
He wanted to see how Lu Zheng would choose!
They've already embarrassed him several times. What, are they going to do it again?
The words he spoke earlier were just a minor tactic, but this time was different. This time, he was forcing Lu Zheng to make a choice: either become someone he could use, or he would be truly ruthless.
Surely Lu Zheng wouldn't let himself cause a falling out between the two of them?
This presented Lu Zheng with a huge problem.
That old fox is indeed much smarter than his son.
However, he underestimated Lu Zheng.
Seeing the old fox's expression, Lu Zheng chuckled and said, "Actually, we don't plan to raise funds for the time being, because we are already too big. If we raise funds again, it will cause some losses to the company."
"After all, investment exceeding production capacity is not a good thing, Uncle Zhou. Please forgive us, we don't want you to lose money right after investing."
Zhou Heng's heart clenched painfully.
He thought Lu Zheng would be manipulated by him, or at least that Lu Zheng would not refuse after he said those words.
But despite all his calculations, he hadn't anticipated that Lu Zheng wouldn't even acknowledge him.
She immediately shut him down as soon as she opened her mouth.
In just a moment, his expression changed, and he stared at Lu Zheng before coldly saying, "Mr. Lu, is it necessary to embarrass me like this?"
Lu Zheng smiled slightly, showing no fear, and his attitude remained firm. He said, "Uncle Zhou, you misunderstand. Lu Zheng had no such intention at all. Lu Zheng made this decision based on the current situation, for the good of all of us. There was no other meaning behind it."
"Is that so? Hehe! I didn't mean anything by it! It seems I spoke too hastily and thought too hastily, didn't I? Well, since Mr. Lu has said so, if I were to shamelessly ask to cooperate with you, wouldn't you just laugh at me?"
He waved his hand, stood up and said, "Alright, I see you're all quite busy. My presence here would only spoil your fun. I won't bother you any longer. You guys keep going."
He's deliberately giving Mingxiang a hard time now, just to make her feel uncomfortable too.
He refused to believe that Mingxiang wouldn't react at all!
Mingxiang's grandfather and Zhou Heng were old acquaintances. How could Mingxiang not give Zhou Heng any face at all?
At least for Zhou Heng, he felt that Ming Xiang must be in a very awkward position at this moment.
He's using this attitude to pressure Mingxiang. Doesn't Mingxiang have any reaction?
But he soon realized he was wrong.
After he stood up, Ming Xiang did not show any embarrassment or nervousness. She just smiled slightly and said, "Uncle Zhou, that's not what we meant. Lu Zheng was just considering the current situation."
"Hehehe... Considering the current situation, is that right?"
As he spoke, a hint of sarcasm crept into his tone: "Is this due to the current situation, or are you simply trying to refuse me? I've practically never asked anyone for a favor before, this is the first time, and you really haven't given me any face at all!"
With a wave of his hand, he said coldly, "Alright, whatever you want. I have other things to do, so I won't waste my time here with you."
After saying that, he waved his hand and walked out coldly.
After he left, Mingxiang and Lu Zheng exchanged a glance and then suddenly burst into laughter.
The two of them were completely unconcerned about the guy's anger.
