Chapter 93: A Gathering, and a Step Closer in the Relationship with Luosha?

For Lu Chen, this company is just right!

It is as if it were tailor-made for him.

"BOSS."

Hu Yaqin knocked on the study door.

"Ya Qin, come, sit."

Lu Chen pointed to the sofa beside him.

"Send the approval documents to Manager Zhao. For these two files, put the one with the 1% stake into an unused shell company, and put this newly established offshore company together with the one that took the loan, all deposited into the United Neutral Bank."

Lu Chen paused, a flash of sharp light appearing in his eyes.

He tapped the armrest slowly and spoke softly once more.

"Bring the information for the shell company back to me. And continue with the complex structure for the offshore company."

"Understood."

Hu Yaqin nodded, stood up, and left the room.

Only then did Lu Chen let out a sigh of relief.

Things were finally mostly handled for the time being.

However, the matter Bureau Chief Zhang mentioned was like a thorn, deeply embedded in Lu Chen's heart.

An eventful autumn indeed!

But it was not something a small fry like him could handle.

Since things had come to this, he might as well eat.

After having a meal that children liked with Tingting, Lu Chen returned to the study.

He flipped through the newspaper with some boredom, his eyes even carrying a hint of emptiness.

"Sir, a telegram from Manager Li."

Housekeeper Wang knocked on the door lightly, then bowed slightly, walked into the study, and placed the telegram in front of Lu Chen.

Lu Chen paused, tossed a 555 to Housekeeper Wang, and lit one for himself as well.

After taking a few puffs, he finally came back to his senses.

Only then did he pick up the telegram.

He flipped through it, his brows furrowing slightly. After a good while, he stood up, returned behind the desk, picked up a pen to write a passage, and handed it to Housekeeper Wang.

"Follow this plan, let Xuan Hua handle it, and keep an eye on the movements over at Crown at all times."

"Understood."

Housekeeper Wang bowed slightly, put the telegram away, and walked straight out of the study.

Lu Chen had also basically finished his day's work.

Early morning.

After Lu Chen went downstairs, he greeted them and sat in the main seat of the reception hall.

Newspaper, coffee, Cigar.

It was still the standard three-piece set.

As he flipped through the newspaper, Lu Chen's pupils constricted.

"Shocking Inside Information on the Hong Kong Advanced Hospital Attack Case"

However, after Lu Chen finished reading it, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Although the wild guesses were somewhat close to the truth, they were guesses after all, without any evidence.

However, any overreaction would make this report a reality.

This actually gave Lu Chen a slight headache.

Forget it, he couldn't control it; anyway, it didn't write his name, Lu Sanbao, so who knows if someone might jump out on their own?

"Bang, bang, bang."

Housekeeper Wang knocked on the wooden door twice, caught Lu Chen's attention, and then walked over.

"Sir, there is one hour left until the gathering time agreed upon with Director Wei Er of Crown."

"Alright, I'll get ready, prepare the car."

Lu Chen put down the newspaper, nodded slightly, stood up, went upstairs to the bedroom, changed into a suit, and then went back downstairs.

The location for this gathering was not the Banshan Jiudian, but a golf course not far from Luochas Manor.

Lu Chen was stunned for a moment, the corners of his mouth lifted slightly, and he got out of the car.

Wei Er was not wearing a suit, but casual wear. Seeing Lu Chen, he was stunned for a moment, and the corners of his mouth lifted slightly.

"Has Director Lu been a bit busy lately?"

He stepped forward two paces and shook hands with Lu Chen slightly.

"I have indeed been quite busy these past few days. Does Director Wei Er need me to change my clothes?"

Lu Chen wore a smile on his face, not showing the slightest bit of awkwardness.

"Today is mainly for relaxation, changing into sportswear is also quite good."

The smile on Wei Er's face did not diminish; he just nodded slightly.

"Of course, if Director Lu doesn't mind, there is a changing room in the clubhouse; I have already prepared it."

"No need, I will just go to Miss Luosha's manor to change; she should have suitable clothes there."

Lu Chen nodded slightly, having no intention of walking in, but after exchanging pleasantries with Wei Er, he walked straight toward Luochas Manor.

Lu Chen walked to the gate of Luochas Manor, a servant hurriedly opened the door, and Lu Chen nodded slightly.

Old Hou also arrived at the gatehouse in just a few minutes.

"Mr. Lu, are you here to see the young lady? She is still dining in the restaurant."

"It's just that Director Wei Er invited me for golf today, and I forgot to change my clothes, so I just came over to borrow a place to change."

Lu Chen shrugged his shoulders, tilted his head slightly, and looked at Butler Wang, who was holding the clothes.

Butler Wang bowed slightly.

"Please follow me."

Old Hou nodded slightly and reached out his hand.

He guided Lu Chen toward a room in the side hall.

Butler Wang handed the clothes to Lu Chen, then waited outside the door.

After a short while, Lu Chen finished changing his clothes and walked out.

"Mr. Lu, you can leave the clothes here for now; the young lady invites you to join her for breakfast."

Old Hou took a step forward and gestured with his hand to lead the way.

Lu Chen nodded slightly and did not object.

"I've had it prepared for you, though I didn't know if you had eaten yet."

Luosha was dressed in sportswear; upon seeing Lu Chen, she waved her hand.

"Wei Er invited me to this gathering as well; let's head over together later."

Lu Chen nodded slightly, a hint of a smile in his eyes; two slices of bread and a glass of milk were enough.

After finishing the meal, Luosha took Lu Chen's arm and went straight out of the Zhuangyuan.

This caused Wei Er, who was greeting guests, to pause slightly.

As they walked in, they chatted briefly with other guests.

He walked over to Lu Chen and Luosha's side.

"Chairman Lu, Miss Luosha, we meet again."

Wei Er said with a beaming smile, appearing to size the two of them up.

"Chairman Lu, I still have some matters to discuss with Director Wei Er."

Luosha spoke softly, nodded slightly toward Lu Chen, a hint of a smile in her eyes.

Lu Chen nodded lightly, greeted Wei Er, and walked in the direction of Wang Jingli.

Seeing Lu Chen walking toward him, Wang Jingli hurried forward.

There was a trace of shock in his eyes, and he could barely control the expression on his face.

"You and Miss Luosha..."

Butler Wang glanced in the direction of Luosha, then looked at Lu Chen.

His face wore a look of shock and confusion.

It was as if his worldview had been shattered.

"I just happened to run into Miss Luosha."

Lu Chen frowned, a flash of sharp light passing through his eyes.

"Is there anything I need to pay attention to today?"

"Ah, there isn't anything particularly special to note today, but most of the people Wei Er invited are directors of various banks; it's considered an industry gathering."

It took several seconds for Butler Wang to react; he hurriedly shut his mouth and looked around.

Only then did he explain to Lu Chen in a low, rapid voice.

"The theme of this gathering should be about financial innovation; most banks will likely underwrite some of our Crown products later on."

Lu Chen was stunned for a moment, then nodded slightly.

He found a seat at random, frowned as he smoked a cigarette, and then stood up.

"Wang Jingli, introduce the directors of the various banks to me."
