Chapter 2983 What do you want when you mention Xingluo Lake?
Xu Miaoming also stood up, his forehead covered in sweat: "Emperor—Master Huang!"
At this moment, it's about to happen.
The group of people outside had already rushed to the door. Zheng Qun even had one leg already stepped through the door. Suddenly, they heard Lu Taining tell them to stop. They froze there. Zheng Qun opened his eyes wide and asked, "Boss?"
Lu Taining was still staring at Zhu Feng.
It has come to this point. If Zheng Qun and the others rush in two or three more steps, they will be surrounded by swords and knives, and there will be no way for him and his cunning wife to survive. No one can remain indifferent at this time.
However, Huang Si was really indifferent.
Even Mrs. Huang beside him - although this woman showed a little surprise when he suddenly smashed the wine glass, obviously she did not expect her husband to do this, but after seeing Zheng Qun and others rushing up, she was not panicked at all.
Looking at these people and the shining swords in their hands, she snorted coldly again.
That cold snort, although not loud, was real, and it hit everyone's face with that kind of tangible contempt and disdain.
Not even a woman took them seriously.
Lu Taining's clenched fists were full of cold sweat.
He was a little unsure whether what he did was right or wrong.
I am not even sure what the consequences will be if I do this.
This guy surnamed Huang is so calm that it's scary.
Seeing that both sides were in a stalemate, Xu Miaoming broke out in a layer of cold sweat on her forehead. She stared at Zhu Feng, then looked at the imperial concubine Si Nanyan who was standing next to her without any fear. At this moment, she couldn't help but take a deep breath.
I secretly said in my heart: "No wonder, no wonder he..."
"Shopkeeper!"
Seeing that the situation was becoming tense, Zheng Qun had long wanted to take action, but when he rushed to the door, he was stopped by Lu Taining. Now everyone was crowded at the door, unable to go in or out, and unable to retreat. His eyes were a little red. What should he do?
But Lu Taining looked at the other party coldly again.
Zhu Feng still sat there indifferently, not even glancing at them again.
Lu Taining slowly raised his hand and gestured to the people at the door. Zheng Qun and the others frowned even more: "Boss!"
But Lu Taining was staring at Zhu Feng. The atmosphere in the entire private room was so oppressive that it seemed as if it was suffocating. Especially the pressure emanating from the person sitting there made it difficult for everyone at the door to breathe. When they saw Lu Taining's gesture, the people behind him immediately retreated.
Zheng Qun gritted his teeth. He had no choice but to lift the leg that had already stepped into the door and retract it.
Then, Lu Taining burst into laughter.
"Ha ha ha ha……"
Nan Yan raised her eyelids coldly and glanced at him.
After laughing a few times, the man said to Zhu Feng, "Don't be offended, Master Huang. I was just joking with you."
How shameless.
Although she knew that such things happened a lot in the scene, Nan Yan still snorted coldly again.
It was like a thin whip hitting Lu Taining's face, but it didn't wipe away the man's smile. To be able to change his face in such a situation is as easy as turning the pages of a book, which shows that this man is not an ordinary person.
Zhu Feng calmly turned around, looked at Lu Taining, and said, "Manager Lu, this joke is not timely."
“…”
"If you're joking now, how will I know which of your next words are about business and which are jokes?"
Lu Taining's heart was gripped.
This time, he completely understood that this Huang man was indeed not easy to deal with. Even at this time, he still had no fear at all - he was just afraid that although he was in control of the Jiuqu Tower, his people had already controlled the outside. Otherwise, no one would dare to act so recklessly at this time.
It seems that this time, I have really hit a wall.
At this moment, Xu Miaoming on the opposite side spoke up without missing a beat. She smiled and said, "Don't be offended, Mr. Huang. Shopkeeper Lu was just trying to lighten the mood with a joke because of a misunderstanding between the two sides. However, since Mr. Huang is only focused on business, Shopkeeper Lu, please stop joking and have your people leave."
Her words came at the perfect time.
Lu Taining looked up outside. Although Zheng Qun and the others had retreated to the door, they hadn't come downstairs yet, obviously waiting for his next instructions. Lu Taining immediately said, "Alright, enough joking around, everyone, go down."
“…”
Zheng Qun was still somewhat unwilling, but Tan Boyun, who was standing at the door, had already impatiently driven them away.
The second floor became quiet again.
Tan Boyun also closed the door from the outside, completely isolating the two sides.
Lu Taining looked at Zhu Feng, laughed twice more, and then said, "I'm truly impressed this time. Mr. Huang is so calm and composed, it seems he's no ordinary businessman. Since he's here this time, I'm sure he has something to ask for. Why don't we be frank? My Hengsheng Bank needs this batch of grain from Mr. Huang. Mr. Huang, name a price. If we can agree, we'll negotiate. If not, we'll talk about why we can't reach an agreement."
Zhu Feng then curled the corners of his lips.
He said slowly, "Since Shopkeeper Lu is so straightforward, I won't waste any more words. This batch of grain—Shopkeeper Lu guessed correctly, I was indeed transferred to Xiajiang Town specifically for the purpose of concluding this business with Shopkeeper Lu. However, the price I offer is not in silver."
"oh?"
Although Lu Taining had expected this, he couldn't help but frown at this moment: "If you don't want money, then what do you want?"
Zhu Feng said, "I don't want anything."
“…”
"I can offer this batch of food with both hands, without charging a penny."
“…”
At this moment, the entire private room suddenly became quiet.
Lu Taining looked at him in disbelief, and after a long time, he narrowed his eyes slightly.
Then he said, "Master Huang is so generous, I guess he has a reason for it."
"It's natural."
"So, what does Mr. Huang want?"
Zhu Feng said, "Manager Lu, please answer me first. If you want this batch of grain, where will it be sent?"
Upon hearing this, Lu Taining's face immediately darkened.
He looked at the other person warily.
Zhu Feng smiled and said, "Even if Shopkeeper Lu doesn't say it, I'm afraid you understand. I knew it a long time ago, which is why I came to you. After all, Xingluo Lake is not a place that anyone can enter."
A cold light flashed in Lu Taining's eyes.
"What do you want when you mention Xingluo Lake?"
