Chapter 37: Wei Er, you just woke up!

"Miss Luosha, your sources are truly well-informed."

Lu Chen had just prepared to stand up, but upon hearing Luosha's words, the relaxed look on his face vanished; he cast a surprised glance at the still-composed Luosha.

He sat back down on the sofa all at once.

"That's right, both were issued under Director Wei Er's name, exchanged for 2% of the shares."

Lu Chen turned his head to look at Wei Er, a hint of a smile in his eyes.

He picked up his coffee cup again to take a sip of the now-cooled coffee, took a cigar from the cigar box, and began to preheat it once more.

The air in the Guibingshi seemed to drop by a degree or two all of a sudden.

Luosha cast a nonchalant glance at Wei Er before turning her head to look at Lu Chen.

A charming smile appeared on her face once again.

"Director Lu, I am a girl too, so naturally I am interested in Rainbow; I wonder if..."

Luosha uncrossed her legs, her entire demeanor appearing much more ladylike.

"Could you manage to bring over another one?"

"Director Wei Er, why not let Miss Luosha have yours?"

Lu Chen paused, crossed his legs, and looked directly at Luosha, while his peripheral vision remained fixed on the silent Wei Er.

He stopped his hand movements and placed the cigar on the ashtray.

"Director Lu, you mustn't speak nonsense; not a single one of those two Rainbows remained in my hands."

Wei Er's eyes widened, a fine layer of sweat appearing on his forehead; he wiped it with a handkerchief before speaking in a cold voice.

He uncrossed his legs, though his toes were trembling slightly.

"Then I wouldn't know, after all, the contract was signed with you; as for how those two Rainbows were circulated..."

Lu Chen's gaze shifted from Luosha to Wei Er, though he never let Luosha out of his sight.

He picked up the cigar again to preheat it.

"Oh? A contract? May I see it?"

The smile on Luosha's face vanished, and she crossed her legs again, her red high heels swaying slightly.

She picked up a lady's cigarette again and lit it.

She shifted her gaze away from Lu Chen, which made Lu Chen instantly feel that the pressure was not as intense as before.

"Fine..."

Wei Er looked as if he had been deflated; he stood up and took a brocade box from the office safe.

He returned to the coffee table before continuing to speak.

"Miss Luosha, this was exchanged for 1% of Huangguan shares, worth 100 million USD; please take a look..."

"How could I deprive someone of what they love?"

Luosha took the brocade box from the coffee table, opened it to take a light look, and closed it again.

She placed the brocade box back onto the coffee table.

"Director Wei Er, your plan has been approved, but this diamond will be my capital contribution."

"No, you cannot do this; the higher-ups will not let you act so recklessly."

Wei Er, who had just let out a sigh of relief, had his eyes suddenly widen, looking just like a lion that had been provoked!

He braced his hands on the coffee table, staring fixedly at Luosha!

"Mr. Lu, excuse me."

Luosha did not pay any attention to Wei Er, instead making a gesture of invitation toward Lu Chen.

Lu Chen glanced at Wei Er, a flash of pity appearing in his eyes.

He stood up, picked up his leather case, and turned to leave.

Not until the heavy wooden door closed did he feel that slight sultriness in the air.

"You..."

Wang Jingli had been standing in the distance the whole time; seeing Lu Chen come out, he immediately walked over and took the leather case from Lu Chen's hand.

His eyes held a hint of worry.

It seemed he could still hear the roaring from behind the door...

Lu Chen was in no mood to say anything else; he only told Wang Jingli to get him out of the Huangguan Yinhang quickly, though he whispered a word of instruction as they were leaving.

Not until he was back in the car did he let out a sigh of relief.

"Butler Wang, back to the Zhuangyuan."

He closed his eyes and began to recall the scene from just moments ago.

It was simply...

However, something seemed a bit off!

Even if Luosha were powerful, it would be impossible for her to treat a director of Huangguan like that...

Lu Chen couldn't figure it out for the moment.

But what was most important right now was not to delve into the negotiation that had just taken place in the Huangguan Guibingshi, but the issue of that Nitan.

Lu Chen shook off the image of Luosha that was still in his mind, and he drifted off into a drowsy sleep.

When he woke up, it was already night; the dim streetlights shone through the car window onto Lu Chen's face.

Lu Chen looked at Butler Wang with some surprise.

Butler Wang was still sitting upright in the car.

The main roads in Xianggang were actually not that easy to navigate; he hadn't expected Butler Wang to be able to drive so smoothly.

In the parking lot, several Buicks had already returned.

"Wake up, let's go back."

Lu Chen said in a somewhat hoarse voice, and without waiting for Butler Wang to get out of the car, he stepped out first.

A gust of sea breeze blew by, making Lu Chen feel a little cold.

This was a feeling he had never experienced before.

"Sir, dinner is already prepared."

Butler Wang got out of the car, draped a thin trench coat over Lu Chen, and spoke softly.

After drinking some hot soup, Lu Chen finally felt that he had completely recovered.

Returning to the study, Lu Chen sat on the sofa and crossed his legs.

He slowly preheated his Cigar, his mind still constantly recalling the scene in the Crown Guibingshi this afternoon.

He always felt something was not quite right, but he truly could not analyze it.

However, the details of when Wei Er lost control were something Lu Chen found quite concerning.

The higher-ups...

"Bang, bang, bang."

A few knocks on the door interrupted Lu Chen's train of thought; he looked up, and it was Li Xuanhua.

"BOSS, I've come to report to you on the situation regarding the company's formation."

Li Xuanhua stood straight at the doorway of the study, a trace of embarrassment on his face.

It seemed he had knocked too hurriedly and hadn't noticed Lu Chen's state.

"Come over and talk slowly, have a Cigar first."

Lu Chen nodded slightly, reached out to tap the cigar box, then took a puff of his Cigar and slowly exhaled the smoke.

He wanted to make his mind a bit clearer.

"The company is now roughly formed, and all departments have started operating; twelve people have been hired, but what are your arrangements for the next step?"

Li Xuanhua sat beside Lu Chen, and after taking a puff of his Cigar, he began to report.

"Have them conduct a business investigation; I need to know how many Textile Factorys there are in all of Xianggang, and where their sales channels are."

Lu Chen paused, and after being silent for a while, he spoke.

A flash of sharp light flickered in his eyes!

No matter what Wei Er and Luosha were up to, his industrial plan must absolutely not fall behind!

Only by using the most solid industry could he resist all kinds of unknown risks!

Li Xuanhua reported some other trivial matters to Lu Chen, and the night grew deeper.

The topic between the two also slowly expanded from the company to casual chat.

"Boss, recently, the Textile Factory side has been unusually quiet; it's not the kind of quiet when a meeting is starting, it's as if they are preparing for something."

Li Xuanhua casually brought up the performance of Xiao Huangmao...

"Hmm, I will have Liu Xiaofeng go over to investigate and see what exactly is going on."

"Boss, Li Ge, are you both here?"

Liu Xiaofeng knocked on the door, interrupting their casual chat, and looked at Li Xuanhua, then at Lu Chen.

He hesitated, as if there was something he wanted to say, but...
