Chapter 165 Lu Lin confronts her head-on, all for one person.
The people in the meeting room looked at each other.
Then came a burst of discussion—
"Who is this guy? Why does he look so arrogant?"
"I heard he's the head of a big conglomerate in Country F. When Lu's Group was transforming, they first broke through the technological blockade. Then, President Lu and his wife, along with Shi Nian, went to Country F to negotiate cooperation. The first contract they got was from their company. From then on, they used that as a stepping stone to start Lu's Group's real transformation."
"So it's his family! I heard they have a huge influence overseas!"
"That's right. It was because of their contract that many subsequent collaborations became much easier to negotiate."
"I see……"
The crowd buzzed with discussion, but the man simply looked at Lu Yanzhi, his eyes filled with a sharp, piercing light—a sharpness truly born from bloodshed.
Country F has a different national situation than ours. They don't ban guns there, so the path to becoming the head of a conglomerate is fraught with bloodshed.
"Aren't you going to invite me to sit down?" The man looked at Lu Yanzhi with a half-smile. "When you and Nian went to F country, I treated you very well."
The word "please" and the phrase "treat them well" are given special emphasis.
Lu Yanzhi narrowed his eyes dangerously and met his gaze coldly.
There seemed to be an invisible magnetic field between the two, and their eye contact was an invisible confrontation.
The entire conference room was filled with a strange atmosphere.
People started whispering among themselves.
"What's going on? What did he mean by what he just said? How did this contract come about? Wasn't it obtained through legitimate channels?"
"It must have been through legitimate channels. Back then, the Lu family and his conglomerate were no match for them. How could they have signed without the other party's approval? I just heard there were some strange things going on in between."
"What's up?"
“We don’t know the details, but we do know that after we came back from negotiating the contract, Shi Nian stayed in bed for more than a month.”
"Huh? Is that so?"
"That's right, haven't you realized it yet? The reason this place is in such chaos today is because Shi Nian has severed ties with the Lu family. Back when the Lu family was transforming, Shi Nian followed President Lu all the way to expand the territory, and the connection between them was extremely deep."
...
Lu Xinyi was the first to react. She smiled and walked over, leading the man to the side.
"This way, please," Lu Xinyi said with a smile, her smile elegant and radiant, her eyes particularly bright when she looked at the man.
But the man didn't move; he just looked at Lu Yanzhi.
The meaning was clear: he wanted Lu Yanzhi to come and invite him in person.
Lu Xinyi was a little embarrassed, but she quickly covered it up and looked at Lu Yanzhi over there.
"Brother Yanzhi?" Lu Xinyi asked in confusion.
Back in F country, she had heard far too many gossips about Lin and Lu Jia and Shi Nian, but she never knew the specifics of what had happened.
Even when she used the Shi family to interrogate Shi Nian, Shi Nian didn't say anything. Instead, she played a bullfighting song for them as a sarcastic remark.
So, she's very anxious now.
Thinking about it, she secretly turned around, intending to go to the corner to call Shi Nian.
However, Lu Yanzhi stopped her with a sharp look.
"So disrespectful?" The man noticed Lu Yanzhi's actions and smiled dangerously. "Don't you want to find Nian?"
The man took out his phone.
"It's okay, I'll make this call."
He smiled and looked at Lu Xinyi: "Thank you for bringing Nian the wine. I really like that wine, and I was just about to ask her what she thought of it."
Although he was smiling at Lu Xinyi, Lu Xinyi felt a chill run down her spine.
It felt like being targeted by a venomous snake.
However, that was all; the man immediately went to dial a number.
However, before he could press down, his hand was grabbed by another hand.
The man looked up and saw Lu Yanzhi's dark eyes.
"Trying to stop me?" the man sneered, putting his hand into his pocket.
The next moment, Lu Yanzhi felt something pressing against his abdomen.
He narrowed his eyes, ignored the other person's attempts to stop him, and pushed forward forcefully. The two stared at each other at very close range.
"Do you know that this place is different from France? Guns are prohibited here," Lu Yanzhi said, looking at the other person and lowering his voice.
But the other party just smiled and continued to look at Lu Yanzhi coldly.
And then he called Shi Nian.
"Beep beep..."
Lu Yanzhi reached into the other person's pocket, but the other person prevented him from succeeding and stepped back.
"Hello?" Shi Nian's voice came through.
The man smiled, noticing Lu Yanzhi's unwell expression, and said, "Hello, Nian, it's me. How have you been lately?"
Shi Nian on the other end of the phone remained silent.
Lu Yanzhi walked straight ahead and forcibly took the gun. The next moment, the other party no longer hesitated, pulled out the gun, and pointed it at Lu Yanzhi's forehead.
He looked at Lu Yanzhi, whose eyes were slightly narrowed, smiled sarcastically, and continued, "I heard you and Lu Yanzhi got divorced. I want to congratulate you first. Happy divorce."
Shi Nian still did not respond.
"And then," the man chuckled, "I'm at Lu's now, to discuss that contract from back then. Do you want to come over?"
Throughout the entire process, the two men stared at each other, neither showing any sign of aggression.
The previous chatter in the meeting room had also disappeared; everyone looked at each other nervously.
The meeting room was quiet, seemingly only the two of them and Shi Nian on the phone remained.
About three seconds passed.
Shi Nian's voice came through: "Okay."
The man smiled, looked at Lu Yanzhi, and said, "I knew you would..."
But before he could finish speaking, the call was disconnected, leaving only a busy tone.
The man paused, then instinctively looked at his phone.
Shi Nian hung up before he could finish speaking.
Looking up again, he saw that Lu Yanzhi had already gripped his gun.
He instinctively pulled the trigger.
Then, a small flower shot out of the gun barrel, causing Lu Yanzhi to be slightly stunned.
“Surprise!” he laughed.
It's a toy gun.
The strange and tense atmosphere was instantly disrupted.
Lu Yanzhi released the man's hand and looked at Lu Xinyi and Secretary Zhou.
"You can handle things here for now. If it doesn't work out, just put it off and say you'll hold a press conference later."
"Okay, Brother Yanzhi."
"Yes, Mr. Lu."
The two immediately responded.
Lu Yanzhi looked at the man with a gloomy expression: "Come with me."
Seeing that the other party seemed unwilling to listen to him, he sneered, "I think you don't want that matter to be publicized."
But the man just shrugged.
Honestly, I don't care.
Then, he glanced at his phone again.
But she might care.
So the man followed Lu Yanzhi as they walked out.
A group of onlookers remained in the conference room, including Secretary Zhou and Lu Xinyi.
The phones around them kept ringing, but everyone was filled with curiosity.
Lu Xinyi narrowed her eyes angrily and coldly glanced at the others present.
"Didn't you hear me? Get to work!" she snapped.
The others then quickly lowered their heads and got to work.
On the other side.
Shi Nian put down the phone.
They just came out of the place where the new products were hidden.
Shi Nian looked unwell.
She lost her first child back in country F.
That was a pain she could never forget.
For many years afterward, she never had any dealings with the F country and would deliberately ignore certain things.
Therefore, the affairs of F country will only be handled by Lu Xinyi, who is studying in F country, after they have matured.
In the beginning, Shi Nian personally handled all the relevant affairs and frameworks related to Country F.
When did Lin come to China?
He needs to find her now...
"What's wrong?" Huo Yanmo, who was beside Shi Nian, noticed that something was wrong and asked.
