After Lu Zheng returned, he made a video call to Ming Xiang.
He told Mingxiang everything that had happened there.
Mingxiang was also somewhat surprised, but she quickly burst into laughter.
Lu Zheng coughed lightly: "What are you laughing at?"
Actually, Mingxiang felt warm inside at this moment, but she pouted her cherry lips and said, "You, you're not polite to people at all, you old-fashioned straight man."
This is why Mingxiang trusts Lu Zheng so much.
She understood that no matter when or where, Lu Zheng would never betray her.
How powerful is the Xia family? They can decide a person's life with just a casual remark. Even Ming Xiang doesn't have that kind of power.
Furthermore, Lu Zheng is valued by the president of the Xia Group, which makes him even more remarkable.
Many people will weigh the pros and cons at such times, and it's normal for people to strive for better opportunities.
However, Lu Zheng did not do that; he still chose Ming Xiang.
This straightforwardness and purity is something that not every man possesses.
Speaking of this, Mingxiang asked again, "When are you coming back?"
Lu Zheng smiled and said, "After dawn."
He didn't want to stay here any longer.
This is so boring; these people are really going a bit too far.
Knowing full well that he has a girlfriend, he still does this to work for the Xia family. As a father, President Xia, Lu Zheng can understand, but is it acceptable for someone to betray his girlfriend and one day betray the Xia family?
It was clear that Lu Zheng didn't have much affection for the Xia family's president, which amused Ming Xiang so much that she kept giggling: "Look at you, all puffed up, aren't you silly? Alright, go to sleep now, I'll cook you something delicious when I get back tomorrow night."
Lu Zheng laughed heartily: "Okay, goodnight!"
Actually, it was already very late, past midnight. Mingxiang usually goes to bed very early.
Lu Zheng was also holding a grudge, and the more he thought about it, the more uncomfortable he felt, which is why he made the call to Ming Xiang.
If it were Jiang Li'er, she would definitely be furious by now. Her attitude would only be different if it were an urgent matter at the company or if Zhou Mobei disturbed her rest.
Lu Zheng's phone calls would infuriate her.
But Mingxiang wouldn't be like that. No matter when or where Lu Zheng called her, she would only be very happy, and even feel like she was enveloped in love.
This was something that Jiang Lier found incredibly incredible.
At least she wouldn't accept it.
Ding-dong!
As Lu Zheng was deep in thought, the doorbell rang.
Lu Zheng frowned.
Could it be that President Xia has come to see him again?
Although he respected President Xia's deep shrewdness, he disliked her behavior. Since he couldn't accept it, he naturally wouldn't be polite to her in the slightest.
However, since the other party had knocked on the door, even though Lu Zheng wasn't very happy about it, he still went to the door and opened it.
However, the person standing outside the door was not President Xia, but Xia Linyu.
Looking at Lu Zheng, Xia Linyu said apologetically, "Mr. Lu, I'm really sorry, I didn't expect my father to do that."
Lu Zheng shook his head: "It's nothing."
Lu Zheng didn't have any displeasure with Xia Linyu.
He felt much better about this woman than he did about the father and son.
"Please come in."
After opening the door, Lu Zheng let Xia Linyu in.
Then Lu Zheng said, "It's so late, why aren't you resting yet? Also, don't mind me, I'm just a straightforward person sometimes, and I offended your father, which made you lose face."
Of course, these are just polite words; people say them for show, but it's just for show.
Xia Linyu smiled slightly: "No, no, this is clearly something my father did wrong."
After exchanging pleasantries for a while, the atmosphere eased slightly, and then Xia Linyu gestured for her to sit down.
She went to the front to get a bottle of wine and then started chatting happily with Lu Zheng.
Besides President Xia, there's Xia Ruo.
She explained why she wanted to compete with Xia Ruo for the position.
In her early years, Xia Linyu had never thought of competing with Xia Ruo for the position, but as he made mistakes in some key company decisions, she gradually realized that her younger brother was too capricious.
He lacks a strong sense of the big picture; once the Xia family falls into his hands, even an ironclad empire will be swallowed up.
Therefore, Xia Linyu couldn't accept this and brought up the issue of inheritance with her father.
President Xia also vaguely felt that his son was lacking in this area, but he knew very well that if he were to directly strip him of his power, Xia Ruo would not let it go easily, given his personality. Therefore, he, as the father, had to do something.
That's how this match came about.
However, to everyone's surprise, even in this situation, Xia Ruo remained unrepentant and did not believe that she had done anything wrong.
Xia Linyu sighed softly and said, "Mr. Lu, I plan to go with you tomorrow, but please don't misunderstand, I'm not trying to take advantage of you or anything. Going with you will ensure your safety."
As long as she stays with him, Lu Zheng will be safe.
Even if her younger brother wanted to make a move against Lu Zheng, he would have to think twice.
She knew that given her brother's vengeful nature, this was extremely dangerous for Lu Zheng.
Of course, if Lu Zheng still felt uncomfortable or had other ideas, she could only accept his idea and let him leave on his own.
Lu Zheng thought for a moment, then said with a smile, "No problem, let's go together!"
"Alright, Mr. Lu, take a rest. We'll set off at six o'clock tomorrow afternoon."
Perfect timing, they can finally get some rest and a good night's sleep.
Although Lu Zheng was in good health, he had never stayed up all night before, so he really couldn't handle staying up like that.
He has a very good daily routine, so naturally he was extremely sleepy at the moment.
Xia Linyu, on the other hand, was already used to staying up late and didn't think anything of it.
After seeing Xia Linyu off, Lu Zheng fell into a deep sleep.
But at that very moment, downstairs in the hotel, a pair of eyes were watching them.
The man was also puzzled when he saw Xia Linyu come out. When Xia Linyu went in, he thought something was going to happen between her and Lu Zheng, but after he secretly followed her upstairs, nothing happened, and Xia Linyu came down so quickly.
The person thought for a moment, then edited a text message and sent it to Xia Ruo.
Yes, this is the person Xia Ruo found.
This man is a thug.
Xia Ruo wanted him to kill Lu Zheng.
But today is clearly not the right time.
Because this is a five-star hotel, unless he can actually scale walls like the protagonist in "The Mechanic," even if he is an assassin, he is just ruthless and doesn't actually have the kind of kung fu shown in the movies.
Even though it's impossible to climb up and down that hundred-meter-tall building.
