With Xia Linyu's assurance in front of her father, the bosses and shareholders were immediately reassured.
Especially Mr. Zhu.
He was originally the representative who was closest to Xia Ruo, and now that Xia Linyu has brought him up and made the first guarantee, it is enough to prove her thoughts.
"Mr. Lu, let's go have dinner."
President Xia greatly admired Lu Zheng; the young man gave him a different feeling.
Actually, if he hadn't heard that Lu Zheng had a girlfriend, he would have wanted to marry his daughter to him right now.
Judging from his composure, meticulousness, tact, and politeness, President Xia felt that Lu Zheng was definitely a responsible and capable person.
Xia Ruo hadn't left yet. Seeing his father being so polite to Lu Zheng while excluding his son, he clenched his fists tightly.
At this moment, he truly harbored murderous intent.
As for those who were just on his side, they have now learned to assess the situation.
If Xia Linyu is vindictive, she will force them to rebel against her, and only then will they join forces with her. However, if Xia Ruo chooses to let them go and work together to protect the Xia family's foundation, and they still don't know what's good for them, then who can they blame for their own trouble?
So they all distanced themselves from Xia Ruo early on.
Seeing that everyone else had left, leaving him alone, Xia Ruo felt an unprecedented sense of desolation.
After everyone had left, he gasped for breath: "Xia Linyu, Lu Zheng, you two wait. I, Xia Ruo, will settle accounts with you for every humiliation I suffered today!"
Anyway, he still gets ten million in dividends every year. Although this amount isn't much for a rich kid like him, it's more than enough to do other things, like recruiting people to deal with Lu Zheng.
Moreover, someone like Lu Zheng must have offended quite a few people...
They can join forces, as long as Lu Zheng suffers a setback and Xia Ruo regains her lost dignity.
Lu Zheng didn't care what Xia Ruo was thinking; he followed President Xia to the restaurant.
Today, President Xia had the meals prepared for them made very specially and exquisitely.
After gesturing to Lu Zheng, President Xia said, "Mr. Lu, please try these dishes. They are incredibly delicious. These chefs are all our professional chefs. Please have a taste!"
He personally served food to Lu Zheng, leaving those who accompanied him speechless.
What does President Xia mean by this?
This attitude towards Lu Zheng is a bit too ambiguous.
He clearly had other intentions towards Lu Zheng.
Lu Zheng nodded with a smile.
How could someone as clever as him not see it?
He actually saw things very clearly, but he wasn't in a hurry to point it out. He just chatted casually with President Xia, knowing that the Xia Group's investment in them was indispensable.
Even if Lu Zheng hadn't won the match for Xia Linyu, according to their previous agreement, the Xia family would still have to invest in Lu's Business Company for at least two years.
Seeing that the conversation was drifting off to something else, President Xia didn't want to waste any more time and said directly to Lu Zheng, "Mr. Lu, I heard that your girlfriend is Ming Xiang, is that right?"
Lu Zheng had just considered that President Xia might make demands of him in other ways, but he did not expect that Ming Xiang would be involved.
However, he still smiled and nodded, saying, "Yes, my girlfriend is Ming Xiang."
"Hehe, although Miss Ming has a discerning eye, her status is still somewhat lower than Mr. Lu's, who is so shrewd..."
Before he could finish speaking, Lu Zheng frowned.
President Xia could talk to him about anything else, but he couldn't go too far when it came to Ming Xiang.
So Lu Zheng coldly said, "President Xia, no matter what Mingxiang's company is like, or what her taste is like, she is my girlfriend. I will not abandon her. Even if we have nothing, as long as we have each other, that's enough for this lifetime."
The people eating in the cafeteria looked at each other, and then their expressions became somewhat strange.
After all, this was an open defiance of President Xia, something they had never expected.
"He..."
"How dare he talk back to President Xia?"
"Don't say anything, let's see what President Xia has to say."
Everyone stared intently at the scene before them, eager to see what President Xia would say next.
President Xia paused for a moment, not expecting Lu Zheng to suddenly speak so forcefully.
However, his expression returned to normal after only a short while, and he laughed heartily: "Haha, good, Mr. Lu, to be honest, I really admire you. Well, since you've said so, it would be wrong of me to insist."
However, Lu Zheng's loyalty also made him very satisfied.
This kid is good; he's quick-witted and efficient.
What a pity.
Of course, it doesn't matter, he, as the father, has other plans.
Xia Linyu was a little embarrassed.
When her father said those words, she, as his daughter, naturally understood his intention. In fact, she also had some thoughts on the matter and hoped that Lu Zheng could accept them.
After all, Lu Zheng's performance gave Xia Linyu a very different feeling.
As soon as President Xia finished speaking, she actually wanted to listen in.
She couldn't help but sigh softly, turning to look at her father: "Dad, what nonsense are you talking about? I've seen with my own eyes how deep Mr. Lu and Miss Mingxiang's relationship is. Are you deliberately trying to make me lose face? I'm not eating anymore."
After saying that, Xia Linyu walked out.
Actually, she was in a somewhat bad mood.
She felt some resentment towards her father and also some resentment towards Lu Zheng's heartlessness.
You shouldn't say such unpleasant things in front of so many people.
However, Lu Zheng's expression did not change.
He was 100% loyal to Mingxiang.
He would give anything for Mingxiang.
He wasn't really in the mood to eat anymore, so he said, "Alright, that's enough for today. I'm full. President Xia, I'll be going now."
After Lu Zheng and Xia Linyu left, someone said to President Xia, "President Xia, Lu Zheng is really disrespectful. How could he do that? He really went too far!"
"Exactly, that's such a harsh thing to say. So what if they won the game? How could he not give President Xia any face at all?"
President Xia looked at this group of impatient people and smiled slightly, saying, "No, Lu Zheng is not bad. This kid is loyal and a good lad. Hehe, but my Lin Yu is not without hope."
