Chapter 64: Visiting Old Liu

"Boss, everything has been arranged."

Chen Mo walked in from outside, and upon seeing Lu Chen, his eyes lit up.

He walked quickly to Lu Chen's side.

"President Zhao is using my car for the time being. I've arranged for two brothers, one in the open and one in the shadows. The guns have also been transferred from the camp and should be delivered in about half an hour."

Lu Chen nodded slightly and looked back at Zhao Chenhui, who was still discussing something with Hu Yaqin.

"Is the force left to guard the Zhuangyuan sufficient? If not, you should go with them."

"Enough, I'll just follow you." This book is first published on Tian Tian Kan Novels, ttk. tw, providing you with an error-free and well-ordered reading experience.

Chen Mo did not hesitate and spoke directly, his body even straightening slightly without him realizing it.

"Alright, let's go then."

Lu Chen stepped forward again and headed toward the parking lot.

The motorcade slowly drove away from the Zhuangyuan and soon arrived at the Zhuangyuan of Old Liu.

What surprised Lu Chen slightly was that Old Liu was actually in the Mid-Levels villa area too!

However, Lu Chen did not pay too much attention to it.

After all, there are only a few places in Xianggang where true wealthy people gather, and the Mid-Levels where he is located is considered one of them.

It was reasonable for Old Liu to live here.

Lu Chen straightened his suit and then spoke to Butler Wang.

"Later, take a few boxes of Cigar from my back seat. Young Master Liu likes them; remember to have them delivered."

After saying this, he waited for Butler Wang to get out of the car.

The butler standing at the gate of the Zhuangyuan saw Butler Wang get out of the car, then stepped forward and opened Lu Chen's car door.

Lu Chen nodded slightly, a smile on his face, and got out of the car.

"Welcome, Mr. Lu. The master is already waiting for you in the reception hall."

The unfamiliar middle-aged butler held the car frame and spoke softly as Lu Chen stepped out.

Lu Chen nodded slightly and followed behind the butler.

"Chairman Lu! Oh my, I woke up late, I woke up late."

Liu Hengsheng walked to the gate of the Zhuangyuan at this moment, saw Lu Chen, took two steps forward, and reached out his hand.

"I am truly sorry. There was a cocktail party last night that went on quite late. I didn't expect you to arrive so early."

Lu Chen had a smile on his face, took a quick step forward, and reached out to shake Liu Hengsheng's hand.

"Not at all, this is just right. It's me who arrived early; there are still 10 minutes until the agreed time."

"Come, come, come. My father is already in the reception hall. Butler Zhang, help them take the gifts."

Liu Hengsheng smiled and shook Lu Chen's hand again before gesturing for him to enter.

He looked back at the butler and walked side-by-side with Lu Chen with a smile.

"By the way, regarding the Cigar you mentioned last time, I specifically brought two boxes when I came today. It's not much, so please don't mind."

After Lu Chen and Liu Hengsheng chatted for a bit, he spoke half-jokingly.

"Don't you mention this to your old man."

"Got it. Why would I let the old man have the good stuff?"

Liu Hengsheng gave a look that said 'I understand' and a mischievous smile appeared on his face.

"You wouldn't be giving my old man the inferior ones, would you?"

"Hahaha, they just haven't been aged as well as the ones I gave you. After all, you know, I've been visiting too many people lately, so how could I have that many well-aged Cigar to give away?"

Lu Chen tapped Liu Hengsheng lightly and then spoke softly.

"The Cigar for your old man still need at least two more weeks of aging; you'll have to handle that yourself."

"No, no, that's too much trouble. Better to let the butler handle the handover."

Liu Hengsheng shook his head and continued speaking.

"The flavor of the Cigar you age is really quite unique. Which whiskey did you use? I'll have the butler age them according to your method too."

"I'll have Butler Wang send it to you later. As for the recipe, I'm not sure either."

Lu Chen shrugged his shoulders, looked at Liu Hengsheng deeply, and smiled.

"Alright, but I'll need a large quantity. Just have the butler settle the bill later. I don't want to get involved in any troublesome matters at all; dealing with the old man's tasks every day is annoying enough."

Liu Hengsheng agreed with a laugh.

He reached out to guide him toward the other side of the garden.

"We're here."

Liu Hengsheng and Lu Chen stood in front of the wooden door, straightened their suits at the same time, and smiled at each other.

Then they pushed the door open and entered.

"Dad, Mr. Lu is here."

Lu Chen took a deep breath, and the smile on his face became more composed.

He followed Liu Hengsheng into the reception hall.

"Old Liu, I am truly sorry for coming to visit you so late. It is the fault of this junior."

"Not at all, isn't this the agreed-upon time?"

Old Liu glanced at Liu Hengsheng before speaking to Lu Chen.

"Little Lu, come and sit. You, kid, sit over here."

"This old fellow has been waiting for your visit for a long time. Come, come, come, where is that uniquely flavored Cigar of yours?"

Old Liu pointed to the sofa beside him.

"Those old guys have been showing off in front of me for quite a while lately."

"I had it prepared for you long ago, it's just that this batch of Cigars hasn't been aged for very long; I was just discussing it with your son, please take this box and smoke it first."

Lu Chen paused, glanced at Steward Wang who was arranging the gifts, and beckoned him over.

He took the Cigar box handed over by Steward Wang and placed it on the coffee table.

He then took out his own personal Cigar case from his pocket and opened it.

He handed one to Elder Liu and Liu Hengsheng each.

Only then did he take one out for himself and began to toast it.

"You're not bad, kid."

Elder Liu sniffed the Cigar, took a deep look at Lu Chen, and then began to toast his own.

"Lao Chen has already told me about your blueprint and cooperation proposal, and I agree with it in principle."

After taking a puff of the Cigar and exhaling the smoke, Elder Liu shifted into a more comfortable position.

Only then did he speak.

"Developing Nitan is no simple matter; you have done quite well to reach this stage, but..."

Lu Chen sat up slightly, his hand holding the Cigar pausing for a moment.

He glanced at Liu Hengsheng.

Only then did he look at Elder Liu with focus.

"If there are any shortcomings in what this kid has done, please enlighten me."

"Hahaha, you kid are exactly as those old guys described."

Elder Liu reached out and pointed at Lu Chen with a smile on his face, leaning back against the sofa cushion.

He crossed his legs, took a puff of his Cigar, and slowly exhaled the smoke.

"You've performed well, so just proceed according to your plan. The vision for our Liu Family's cooperation with you this time isn't limited to just Nitan."

Elder Liu paused before continuing to speak.

"I've heard everything from my boy; I didn't expect you to be a director at Crown."

"You must have inquired about our Liu Family through various channels; that's right, our Liu Family is a Comprador Family, but we don't want to be this way either."

Elder Liu took a deep look at Lu Chen.

Lu Chen did not speak, but nodded slightly, looking at Elder Liu with a serious expression.

He sat properly on the sofa, letting the Cigar burn on its own without taking a single puff.

"Then can you tell me, what exactly is it that Crown wants to do with this financial innovation?"

Elder Liu nodded slightly, his tone suddenly becoming low.

He glanced at the servants, and only after they had all exited the reception hall and closed the wooden door did he ask this question.
