Three days later.
During working hours, Lu Fan drove away from the company alone. Jiang Manyue didn't pay any attention, after all, it wasn't the first time Lu Fan had left work, and she didn't ask any questions.
Lu Fan drove to Shanggong Group. After the mediation by the Dongfang family last time, Lu Fan said he would come in person, but he did not bring anyone else with him.
The security guard at the entrance recognized Lu Fan and politely asked him to wait a moment while he called Liu Shang's office.
"Mr. Lu, our chairman is waiting for you in his office. Please come this way."
Soon Li Linlin arrived at the door and greeted Lu Fan with a smile.
Upon seeing Li Linlin, who came to greet him, he didn't say anything, just nodded and followed Li Linlin into the company.
After joining Shanggong Group, Lu Fan saw that the entire group was no longer what he had seen before; everything was developing towards becoming a listed company.
"President Lu."
Just as Lu Fan was following Li Linlin to Liu Shang's office, they passed through the office area and someone called out to Lu Fan.
Lu Fan turned his head and saw the person who had called out to him. He looked him up and down carefully, but couldn't recall who it was.
But she still smiled and nodded at him. Li Linlin, who was walking in front, turned around and saw that person, then looked at Lu Fan, and immediately knew what was going on.
"Get back to work! Mr. Lu is an important guest of the company, and the chairman is waiting for you!"
Li Linlin could tell that the person wanted to say something, so she spoke to him directly with a stern expression.
The man could only swallow his words, glanced at Lu Fan, and then returned to his post.
Lu Fan saw that the person clearly had something to say to him, but was scared away by a look.
"Mr. Lu, let's go quickly."
Seeing that Lu Fan had stopped and was staring at the office area, Li Linlin quickly blocked his view of the office area and said to him.
I came here today to talk to Liu Shang, and then continued walking towards Liu Shang's office.
"Mr. Lu, may I ask you something?"
Li Linlin, who had been leading the way, stopped a little embarrassed and asked Lu Fan.
"Ask me any questions you have, but I won't answer any questions that involve your privacy."
When Li Linlin asked him, Lu Fan had a feeling about what she wanted to ask, so he spoke to her.
Knock knock knock!
"Chairman, President Lu has arrived."
Hearing Lu Fan say that, Li Linlin didn't ask any further questions. Instead, she knocked on Liu Shang's office door and spoke to Liu Shang, who was sitting on the sofa.
"President Lu, please sit down. You can go down now. I'll call you if I need anything."
Liu Shang warmly invited Lu Fan to sit down, then looked at Li Linlin beside him, smiled, waved his hand, and said...
Before leaving, Li Linlin glanced at Lu Fan. From the first moment she saw him, she was captivated by his charm. She had given her heart to him, but it was like the moon shining on a ditch. She realized that Lu Fan had no feelings for her at all, and the seed of love in her heart died. Somewhat disappointed, she left the office.
Liu Shang noticed Li Linlin's unusual behavior, then glanced at Lu Fan sitting on the sofa, and immediately understood what was going on. Lu Fan smiled somewhat embarrassedly.
"Mr. Lu, my secretary has been wanting to have a meal with you for a while now. When would you have time?"
Liu Shang knew that Li Linlin liked Lu Fan. After thinking about it for a moment, he sat down next to Lu Fan and whispered to him.
"Mr. Liu, please don't joke around. I have a wife at home. If you have any other ideas, you'd better give up that thought as soon as possible."
When Liu Shang asked him about the time and wanted him to have dinner with Li Linlin, Lu Fan understood what Liu Shang was thinking and quickly expressed his stance.
"What are you talking about? I'm just inviting you to dinner. It's not like I'm asking you to eat alone with Li Linlin. Let's talk about dinner later, Mr. Lu."
Liu Shang had sent Li Linlin to approach Lu Fan, intending to help her as a pawn in Lu Fan's scheme. However, seeing Lu Fan's resistance, Liu Shang began to consider other plans, though he couldn't show it on the surface.
"I'm here today to reinvest in Shanggong Group. Let's wipe the slate clean of our past."
When Lu Fan heard that Liu Shang was no longer going to talk about this, he then revealed the purpose of his visit.
"Okay, Mr. Lu, we were also deceived by that Mr. Qu back then. I am very touched that you can forgive and forget like this."
Upon hearing that Lu Fan was no longer concerned about what had happened before, Liu Shang excitedly clasped his hands in a fist and said to Lin Ze.
"It's alright, I hope we are the strongest allies."
Seeing Liu Shang's excited expression, Lu Fan nodded and continued speaking to Liu Shang.
"Of course, you only need to say a word and Shanggong Group will be at your beck and call at any time."
Shanggong Group is currently in dire straits. It has no powerful backer and is surrounded by formidable enemies. If it cannot find a strong ally soon, it is very likely to be swallowed up by someone with ulterior motives.
The Oriental Group's offer of an olive branch was not without ulterior motives; they might stab him in the back. Liu Shang had thought about it for a long time and felt that Lu Fan was the best candidate for cooperation, but he was still afraid that Lu Fan would bring up past issues.
After making inquiries, she learned that Lu Fan had recently become very close to the Dongfang family, which was why she had gone to great lengths to ask the Dongfang family to mediate the previous issues between her and Lu Fan.
Now that Liu Shang heard Lu Fan agree, which meant he had forgiven the past, Liu Shang was very excited and said to Lu Fan.
"Recently I've wanted to..."
Lu Fan whispered close to Liu Shang's ear, and Liu Shang knew that he had something important to say.
I glanced in the direction of the door and leaned my ear forward.
After Lu Fan finished explaining his plans, Liu Shang stared at him in disbelief, his mouth agape.
"What's wrong? Didn't you just say you'd follow my orders? Why are you backing out so quickly?"
Lu Fan saw the fear in Liu Shang's eyes, smiled, crossed his legs, and looked at Liu Shang with a smile as he asked.
"Mr. Lu, are you testing me?"
What Lu Fan said did startle Liu Shang, but seeing Lu Fan's smiling face, he asked him in return with some doubt.
Do you think I'm joking?
"But you've told me such a confidential matter. If I don't cooperate with you, aren't you afraid I'll expose it?"
Seeing Lu Fan's nonchalant attitude, Liu Shang voiced his doubts to him.
"I came here because I knew you would cooperate with me. If you had other options, would you still have gone to such great lengths to have the Dongfang family mediate?"
Lu Fan had certainly thought about the question Liu Shang raised, but he had thought about it more deeply.
She smiled and explained to Liu Shang why she had wanted to tell him.
