Liu Shang stood up and put all the documents he had brought back into his bag.
"We'll still be here in three days, and I'd like to hear your reply then."
Seeing that Liu Shang had packed everything up, Lu Fan knew that the negotiations for this matter would not be completed today.
The date can only be postponed to three days later.
"Okay, I'll go back and prepare. See you in three days."
Liu Shang took a deep breath and nodded to Lu Fan.
Ring ring ring—
"Hey, what's wrong?"
As Liu Shang was about to leave, his phone rang.
He glanced at the contact name on his phone; it was his younger brother, Liu Shuang, calling. He answered and spoke into the phone.
"Big brother, Zhang Tenglong has appeared."
Liu Shuang said anxiously to Liu Shang.
"What? What about your second brother?"
Upon hearing his younger brother mention that Zhang Tenglong had been beaten and driven away with Engineer Liu, Liu Shuang anxiously inquired about Engineer Liu's safety.
"There was only Zhang Tenglong. The people who took away my second brother and Zhang Tenglong wrote a letter to Zhang Tenglong's men, asking them to meet at a designated location. The other party demanded five million. Zhang Tenglong's family had some savings, so they quickly raised the money and brought Zhang Tenglong back. When they brought Zhang Tenglong back, he was barely alive and was being treated in the hospital."
Liu Shuang told Liu Shang the information she had learned from Zhang Tenglong.
"Spread the word through the underworld: whoever finds your second brother will get a million dollars in cash. Anyone who provides information will also get fifty thousand dollars."
Hearing that Zhang Tenglong, who had already been redeemed, was only half alive, I started to feel a little worried.
With his younger brother still in the hands of the other side, Liu Shang disregarded the presence of others around him.
Now that I'm the boss, I don't need to care about that little bit of money. Money can be earned back, but if a person is gone, they're gone forever.
Liu Shang recalled that there used to be informants in the underworld who would know some clues, and explained to Liu Shuang.
"I understand, but where should we take this money?"
Everyone knows that in the underworld, money talks, and there's nothing you can't buy with money.
However, upon hearing the large sum of one million, their company had just undergone restructuring.
Taking out such a large sum of money would be a huge financial strain.
Liu Shuang was a bit stumped on the money issue and asked Liu Shang.
"Money? This..."
Liu Shang hadn't thought of this when he spoke.
I never imagined that after becoming the boss, I would have to struggle with this little bit of money.
"If you need money, I can lend it to you?"
Lu Fan, who had been listening for a while, finally understood.
Liu Shang's younger brother has been kidnapped, and he wants to find him but lacks money.
In Lu Fan's eyes, anything that can be solved with money is not a problem. Looking at Liu Shang's troubled expression, Lu Fan asked with a smile.
"If President Lu is willing to lend a helping hand, I, Liu Shang, will repay you tenfold!"
While Liu Shang was still struggling with where the money would come from, he heard Lu Fan say something beside him. Liu Shang turned around and looked at Lu Fan excitedly.
“That’s right, Mr. Liu, just go ahead and do it. Although I, Zhou Wen, don’t have much money, I do have some connections. I can ask someone to inquire for you.”
Zhou Wen also saw Liu Shang's predicament. If she didn't offer help now, when would she?
This is the best time for me to get closer to Liu Shang.
"Thank you, Mr. Zhou. I'll have someone bring you the details of my brother's situation later. Once he's back, I'd like to invite you both to dinner. I'll get back to work now."
Liu Shang, deeply moved, clasped his hands in a fist salute to Lu Fan and Zhou Wen and said...
"Go ahead and get busy."
"I will let you know as soon as I have any news."
Seeing that Liu Shang was in a hurry to leave, Lu Fan and Zhou Wen did not try to stop him and said something to him.
Liu Shang quickly left Zhou Wen's office with his briefcase, got into his car, and drove towards the company.
"It's already noon, Mr. Lu probably hasn't eaten yet, right? I'll prepare a few side dishes later, and we can have lunch together."
Zhou Wen looked at Liu Shang, who had already left, and then at Lu Fan, who was still in the office, and asked with a smile.
"I haven't eaten either, so since you're going to eat now, I'll..."
Hearing Zhou Wen say that she was going to prepare lunch, Lu Fan rubbed his stomach and it started to rumble.
He smiled a little shyly at Zhou Wen and said.
"Sure, it's an honor for me to have dinner with Lu Fan!"
Upon hearing that she had agreed to stay, Zhou Wen was surprised for a moment, but then smiled and said to Lu Fan.
Zhou Wen felt a headache coming on as she looked at Lu Fan, who was really planning to eat here.
I was just being polite, who would have thought that a bigwig from a corporation would want to stay here for a regular lunch?
"Okay, wait a moment, I'll go and have them prepare."
Since Lu Fan is staying here for lunch, we can't make it like he usually eats.
She smiled, said something to Lu Fan, and then walked out.
Lu Fan sat quietly on the sofa. He was no longer as anxious as he had been when he arrived.
The detective agency that contacted me just sent me a text message telling me to arrive around 3 PM.
Otherwise, Lu Fan wouldn't have voluntarily stayed for lunch.
More than ten minutes passed.
"Mr. Lu, have you been waiting long?"
After a while, the door was opened.
Zhou Wen walked in carrying several bags and looked at Lu Fan, who was sitting on the sofa with his eyes closed, and said something.
"No.
Lu Fan saw Zhou Wen come in and quickly said something.
The two of them took out all the food and placed it on the table.
"Mmm, these dishes smell delicious and look very appetizing."
Lu Fan looked at the six or seven dishes on the table, smelled the aroma in the air, and said to Zhou Wen.
"I didn't know what you liked to eat, so I just bought some random things."
Seeing Lu Fan's satisfied expression, Zhou Wen's ordeal was worthwhile.
Their work meals remained the same: one meat dish, one vegetable dish, and one soup. Lu Fan stayed behind, and Zhou Wen could no longer serve those dishes.
They could only run to the nearby shop and order a few signature dishes to bring back and treat Lu Fan.
Otherwise, if Lu Fan feels that he doesn't value him, there will be a barrier in future business dealings.
Looking at the table full of dishes, Lu Fan couldn't wait any longer and picked up his chopsticks to start eating.
Seeing Lu Fan start eating, Zhou Wen's stomach began to rumble. She didn't care whether Lu Fan was there or not; she just wanted to eat her fill first.
He picked up his chopsticks and started eating.
"Ring ring ring ring—"
The two were eating heartily, with Lu Fan stuffing meat into his mouth.
He noticed the phone ringing in his pocket.
