Chapter 22: Encountering a Conspiracy
The door of the box slowly opened under Lu Shinian's gaze.
What caught my eye were four young men with different looks. The leader was Xiao Jing, whom I had met yesterday. Today, he was wearing a deep blue shirt and a Denton watch on his hand, and he looked even more calm and steady.
On the left hand side was a handsome boy with fair skin that looked rosy. He was wearing a white cartoon T-shirt and looked a little younger than Lu Shinian.
A sharp gaze shot from behind Xiao Jing. Lu Shinian moved his gaze to the side and saw a boy wearing a baseball cap. No, he should be called a man. He had a tall hooked nose under the brim of the hat, deep eye sockets, thin lips pursed into a straight line, a handsome face with clear edges and corners, and a cold temperament.
"Why did you stop?" A slightly hoarse and magnetic voice came into Lu Shinian's ears.
He looked in the direction of the sound.
This is a young man wearing black-framed glasses. The frames cover most of his face, revealing his angular chin. He is wearing a white shirt with the top button buttoned and his cuffs rolled up to his elbows. He exudes rigor. It’s like you can just put on a white coat and go straight into the laboratory.
Look at each other through the glasses for two seconds.
Lu Shinian smiled.
"Hello, nice to meet you. I'm Lu Shinian."
The three people on the opposite side were stunned.
"We meet again."
Xiao Jing was the first to break the silence and nodded at him.
"This is Gu Yanxi, our fourth child, your little fanboy."
He tugged at the boy in a white T-shirt next to him.
Gu Yanxi suddenly came back to his senses.
Realized that I had been staring at Lu Shinian's face for too long.
I couldn't help but blushing.
"Hello..Hello, I'm Gu Yanxi."
This voice was obviously the cheerful voice that Lu Shinian heard in the box.
I couldn't help but laugh.
"Hello, nice to meet you."
As he said this, he stretched out his hand to shake hands with him.
Gu Yanxi's face turned even redder, even the base of her neck was red.
He nervously stretched out his hand, and just as he was about to shake it, he was interrupted by the boy in the hat next to him.
"Come in first. It's not right to stand here."
Lu Shinian put down his hand and said to them, "Come in first and talk."
He walked to one side of the dining table first.
Gu Yanxi lowered his head in visibly disappointed expression and grabbed the hem of his clothes.
Xiao Jing glanced at Cheng Shuoqiu behind him and patted his head.
"Come in first. Shi Nian has been waiting for a long time."
Hearing this, Gu Yanxi raised his head and walked quickly towards the box, stopping not far from Lu Shinian.
"Be more restrained." Xiao Jing warned the person behind him and stepped into the box.
"Let's go." The young man in the shirt spoke calmly, as if he was used to it, and followed Xiao Jing slowly.
Looking at the backs of several people, Cheng Shuoqiu couldn't help but curse in a low voice with the tip of his tongue against the side of his cheek, and followed behind.
"This is Li Ze, our third brother." Xiao Jing continued to introduce him to Lu Shinian.
"Hello."
The young man in the white shirt spoke and stretched out a bony hand.
"Hello."
Lu Shinian stretched out his hand and shook it lightly before letting go in less than a second. Because of what happened in his past life, he was really not used to having contact with others, even if it was just a simple handshake.
Seeing this, Li Ze just put down his hand without saying anything more.
"The last one is our second-year student Cheng Shuoqiu." Xiao Jing introduced the last boy wearing a baseball cap.
When Lu Shinian raised his eyes, he met those eyes that were somewhat hostile. He was very confused. He thought about how everything had been normal since they met until now. He didn't understand where he had offended him.
But he still extended his hand politely.
"Hello, I'm Lu Shinian."
"Cheng Shuoqiu."
Cheng Shuoqiu raised his hand perfunctorily and touched it with his.
Xiao Jing on the side frowned. Just as he was about to speak, he saw Lu Shinian smiling at him. It was obvious that he didn't care.
What was important to him was whether this project could allow him to gain a foothold in Beijing. He had also stated the conditions. At worst, he could open his own studio in the future. Although he didn't know how he had offended him, Lu Shinian was not someone who liked to put his efforts into something that was not accepted by the public.
"You guys take your seats first, I'm going to the bathroom."
Although it was not very polite, the body temperature remaining in the palm of his hand made him feel very uncomfortable.
Wait until Lu Shinian came out of the box.
Cheng Shuoqiu couldn't wait to speak: "Let's just say this guy is a liar. He went to the bathroom as an excuse. He must have run away. Li Ze, don't you think so?"
He determined that this person was a liar, and did not forget to bring Li Ze as an ally.
Hearing this, Li Ze simply said, "Let's take another look. We'll know when he comes back and tries it."
He did not draw a conclusion immediately, although he had his doubts, after all, Lu Shinian looked too young.
"How could the God of Road be such a liar when he is so powerful?"
Gu Yanxi argued for Lu Shinian.
"You traitor."
Cheng Shuoqiu became even more annoyed.
Seeing that the two were about to quarrel, Xiao Jing interrupted them.
"Okay, listen to Li Ze. If you don't believe me, just try it yourself and you'll know."
"How can they be the same? I'm not a coder." Cheng Shuoqiu was still unhappy.
Xiao Jing: "Then let Li Ze try. You don't think he will let you go, do you?"
"All right."
Cheng Shuoqiu pursed his lips and uttered two words unwillingly.
The other side.
Lu Shinian went to the bathroom and washed his hands carefully several times. When he finally felt they were clean, his hands were already slightly red.
He took out a tissue from the side and wiped it.
He turned and walked towards the box where Xiao Jing and the others were.
When I was about to reach the destination with two more private rooms, I heard a voice that was particularly familiar from my previous life when I passed the door of a private room.
"Mr. Huang, Mr. Zhou, we have a pleasant cooperation. We at Zhiyuan Technology will not let you down. I will drink this cup first."
--This person's voice is definitely Xu Zhiyuan. Cooperation? Zhiyuan Technology? Did the funds come from them in the previous life?
Lu Shinian approached the box door.
"Boss Xu is a straightforward person."
Then another voice was heard in the box.
--Zhou Ming's father?
Think for two seconds.
Lu Shinian directly pushed open the door of the box.
As soon as he came into view, he saw several people sitting at a dining table. Three of them were familiar faces from his previous life, Xu Zhiyuan, Zhou Ming's father Zhou Xingsen, and Huang Jianlin, a senior veteran who took advantage of his seniority in Zhiyuan Technology in his previous life.
--It turns out that they got involved with each other so early.
But in a flash, Lu Shinian lowered his head.
"Oh... I'm sorry, I went to the wrong box." He said this and was about to leave the box.
"Stop." Xu Zhiyuan said.
I don't know why the person in front of him always gives him a very familiar feeling.
In just a short time.
No one would believe the changes in Lu Shinian unless they saw it with their own eyes.
He was not as thin as before. His back was straight and he looked a little taller than before. He also had a pair of gold-rimmed glasses on his face, which mostly concealed his scheming expression.
