It was impossible for Lu Qingyun not to be angry about what his son had done this time.
In front of his son, he wanted to show his stern side.
At least Lu Chunqiu should learn a lesson from his loss.
Lu Chunqiu came in, his face still swollen.
Lu Qingyun was about to speak when the phone in the office suddenly rang.
He went over and answered: "I'm Lu Qingyun, you are... ah, it's Mr. Li, I was just about to call you... Oh, nothing, I just want to invite you to play ball this weekend. It's been a while since we've been together. Let's take some time to sit down and have tea... What?"
Lu Qingyun's expression changed immediately: "Boss Xiang, are you kidding?"
Xiang Huawei's voice was neither cold nor indifferent, revealing a mixture of politeness and distance. "Boss Lu, I have no other choice. We've already invested a lot of money in this project. If I don't make a bold move now, this show will be completely ruined. We're not well-off and can't afford to go through this or pay the compensation."
Lu Qingyun was a little angry: "There are only a few actors. If they don't act, there are plenty of people who can. We in China don't have many actors. How about I recommend a few actors to you?"
"Mr. Lu, I'm really sorry. You probably don't understand the situation yet. Have you read the latest news? Or have you heard any gossip?" Xiang Huawei asked.
Lu Qingyun said, "What do you mean? We've known each other for many years, so you don't have to play dumb with me. If you have anything to say, just tell me directly. I've been in this circle for so many years, and I've experienced all kinds of ups and downs. Don't worry, I can handle it."
Xiang Huawei sighed and said, "Princess Alice of the Las Empire refused to attend the charity dinner and will come to Hong Kong soon to hold a party."
"Ah? What does this have to do with our cooperation?"
Lu Qingyun hasn't reacted yet.
Xiang Huawei said, "Of course it's related. She publicly stated that you don't want to see anyone from your Lu family at the dinner. Do you understand now?"
Lu Qingyun's face changed drastically: "Why? Ah, I understand, it's not that serious, Chunqiu's trivial matter is just jealousy between children, why is she so angry?"
"There's one more thing. Chen Mengyao will be visiting Hong Kong soon to investigate the market. I heard the government will give her a high-level reception. They'll invite some entrepreneurs to hold a symposium..."
Lu Qingyun's face had turned a little terrified, and he said in a lost voice, "That's not the case. What are they trying to do? Do they have to make such a big deal out of this? This is Hong Kong, not the mainland. If a fight really breaks out, our Lu family won't necessarily lose. Oh, are you going to end our cooperation with me just because of this? We've been friends for many years, and you're really chilling me."
"I'm sorry, Mr. Lu, I have an important meeting soon. Let's get together another day, after this is over. I'll treat you to a meal, and then I'll apologize and explain to you in person. Okay, that's it."
Beep, beep, beep...
The phone went dark...
Lu Qingyun hung up the phone, turned around, stared at Lu Chunqiu, and slapped him twice.
"Dad, what's wrong?"
"What's wrong? You've done something so good, and you still have the nerve to ask me?"
Lu Qingyun roared.
Lu Chunqiu covered his face and said aggrievedly, "I admit, I made a mistake this time. I didn't expect mainland netizens to be so crazy. Let them curse me. Anyway, my Weibo account has been closed. They can only vent their anger. They can't threaten me in any way. Once the storm dies down, this matter will be over. A gentleman's revenge is never too late. We still have a chance."
Any chance?
Lu Qingyun was so angry that he couldn't speak.
They've come to your door, what chance do you have?
Lu Chunqiu continued, "As for the police, you have such a good relationship with the inspector. We can hire the best lawyers. How could we possibly lose? Oh, at worst, I can pay for it myself."
snap
Another slap.
Lu Qingyun pointed at his son and trembled with anger.
"You bastard, you're going to drag our family down with you! Did it come easy to me to earn this fortune? Are you going to squander it all?!"
Lu Chunqiu's face was swollen again.
He covered his face and dared not speak anymore.
He could see that Lu Qingyun was really angry now.
So he was a little scared.
From childhood to adulthood, my father has always been gentle and calm. When has he ever been so excited and out of control?
"Dad, what happened?"
Lu Chunqiu asked cautiously.
"What's wrong?"
Lu Qingyun fell down on the sofa, covered his forehead with his hands, and sighed: "You've gotten into big trouble this time."
"Tell me, why did you bother with that bastard Tang Xiaobao for no reason?"
Lu Chunqiu said, "Dad, I didn't provoke him. He provoked me first. Who knew Chen Huimin was having an affair with him? Besides, Chen Huimin is single, and I'm single too. They're not married. What's wrong with me pursuing her? It's not illegal. Why did he hit me? Just because you're rich is great. Our family is not short of money!"
"So, you're planning to marry Chen Huimin?"
Suddenly, Lu Chunqiu stopped talking.
He really wanted to say yes, but he knew his father wouldn't believe his nonsense.
"It's all my fault. I doted on you too much back then, and I can't get enough of you. I knew it was only a matter of time before you'd stumble in relationships. You're playing around with women everywhere, but why are you so clueless? Even if you were playing, you should have wiped your ass clean. You just pulled up your pants and walked away. Don't you know how to tell them to shut up? Now so many women have gone to the police to report you. How is this going to end?"
Lu Qingyun calmed down and his tone was no longer as harsh as before.
After all, he is his only son, his only child. Even if Lu Chunqiu breaks the sky, he, as their father, can only help to bear the burden.
"Oh, I'll take care of it, don't worry."
Lu Chunqiu didn't seem to realize how serious the matter was.
"Can you handle it? Humph, you think too simply. Let me tell you the truth, Princess Alice has already made trouble for us, and Chen Mengyao will choose a day to come to Hong Kong."
Lu Chunqiu didn't react: "What can they do to us?"
"Humph, can't you see? They're coming for our Lu family. Is there shit in your brain? How can you be so stupid? Until now, you still haven't realized the seriousness of the problem?"
"Dad, this is Hong Kong, not the mainland. We've been operating this for so many years. What can they, outsiders, do? Who would buy into their business?"
"Really? Then let me tell you, Xiang Huawei just called, and our cooperation ends here. I guess some other people will call soon. Right now, they're avoiding us like the plague. Do you still think this isn't serious enough?!"
Lu Qingyun looked at his son coldly.
Lu Chunqiu's expression finally changed drastically.
He murmured, "Why is this happening? Why is this happening? Isn't this too fast?"
