"Don't be so smug. Although I didn't say much to her this time, it's because I didn't have much time to spend alone with her. But don't worry, from now on, I'll be spending more and more time with her."
"What do you mean?" Chu Yuelin had a bad feeling, and the next second she heard the other party speak.
"We plan to establish a long-term partnership with the Lu family. We are currently in the negotiation stage, and we expect that our cooperation will be finalized soon."
I will personally talk to them and implement it myself. In that case, I imagine Wan Ge will also personally help me with these things, giving us more time together. And because we have similar careers, we'll have more to talk about.
It has to be said that Chu Junlin hit a nerve with Chu Yuelin. He was indeed inferior to Chu Junlin in this regard. He had only a superficial understanding of business matters and often couldn't bring himself to discuss the topic, so he could only be a listener.
Seeing his younger brother suffer a rare setback, Chu Junlin left him in a good mood.
…
The next morning, just as Wan Ge was about to go to the company, she saw Chu Yuelin coming down from upstairs.
Chu Yuelin's cheek was visibly swollen and red at that moment. Wan Ge immediately spoke into the phone, "You go and discuss today's collaboration. I have some urgent business to attend to."
"Ah? I'm here today to discuss a collaboration with... the Chu family..."
Before the vice president could finish speaking, the phone rang and the call ended.
Wan Ge immediately put her phone aside, walked over to Chu Yuelin's side, and reached out her hand, but was afraid of touching him and hurting him.
"What happened to your face? Why is it swollen? Does it hurt? Were you hit?"
Chu Yuelin said softly, "I...I'm fine, don't worry."
"Your voice has changed, how can you say you're alright? Who hit you? Was it Chu Junlin? Your painting is about to be exhibited, isn't it? Why would they hit you at this time?"
When Chu Yuelin heard her brother's name, she lowered her eyes slightly, as if she had been wronged but did not want to say anything.
"Should we call our family doctor to come and take a look? I don't think this situation is good."
"But what about the studio..."
"The studio isn't important. What could be more important than your health?"
"Okay." Chu Yuelin also called her assistant and asked her to handle it first.
At the same time, the housekeeper quickly called the family doctor.
…
Chu Junlin arrived at the Lu family's office early to sign the contract, only to find that the person who appeared was the vice president.
Chu Junlin's expression darkened slightly as he looked at the vice president in front of him and asked directly, "Where is your president?"
The vice president knew to some extent that Wan Ge was going on blind dates with the Chu brothers, but he didn't know the exact situation. Seeing the current state of President Chu, did the president and President Chu get together? But this tone seems a bit off.
Although the Lu family is still somewhat inferior to the Chu family, President Chu has never been like this before. The vice president has also had contact with Chu Junlin before, but he wasn't like this before.
Chu Junlin seemed to realize his slip of the tongue and immediately apologized: "I'm sorry, it's because I'm currently building a relationship with your CEO Lu, so I'd like to see her more."
The vice president immediately understood. He wondered why such a huge windfall had suddenly fallen into his lap. It turned out that it was all for their CEO, who was just away at the moment.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Chu, but Mr. Lu said there was an emergency and he couldn't come, so he sent me as his representative."
"Has something happened?"
"This... must be President Lu's private matter; she didn't tell me either."
"Okay, let's talk about the cooperation first." As for the situation, Chu Junlin might find out by making a phone call home later.
But what exactly is the reason? What could have caused the other person to abandon them?
…
When Chu Junlin called the housekeeper, it was right after the family doctor had finished examining Chu Yuelin.
The butler was quite surprised when he first saw that the young master had called him, because the young master rarely called him before.
"What are your orders, young master?"
"Uncle Liu, has Miss Lu gone out?"
The person glanced at Wan Ge, who was sitting on the sofa listening attentively to the doctor's orders, and replied to the voice on the other end of the phone: "No, Miss Lu did not go out."
"What is Miss Lu doing now?" Chu Junlin was very curious about what she was doing. Since she hadn't left the Chu family, what emergency could she be doing without leaving the Chu family?
"It's because the second young master was injured that Miss Lu didn't go to the company and stayed at home with him."
"What happened to A-Yue?" Was his younger brother injured? What happened? Why didn't anyone tell his older brother?
The butler's voice came immediately: "I don't know who it was, but they beat up the second young master. His face is quite swollen."
"His face is badly swollen?" When Chu Junlin heard the butler say that the second young master had been beaten, he was still wondering who was so audacious as to dare to hit his brother!
Upon hearing that his brother's face was swollen, Chu Junlin knew who had hit him—it was himself.
That's not right! The injury I inflicted wasn't that serious.
"Yes, it looks pretty serious," he answered honestly.
"I understand," the other person replied and then hung up the phone.
The butler didn't realize it at first, and it took him a while after the call ended for him to suddenly come to his senses.
