Chapter 95: Luosha's Intentions

"No rush. Developing the Nitan is primarily up to you; in Xianggang, you are the only one with the courage to develop it."

Wei Er narrowed his eyes and sighed softly.

"If any other faction had come to develop it, everything would have been ruined long ago."

"Your courage is still greater. If I didn't have so many constraints on my end, I would have truly wanted to accept on the spot."

The corners of Lu Chen's mouth curled up slightly, a flash of sharp light in his eyes, and he took a deep look at Wei Er.

"Director Lu, the time is about right. I'll go over and chat with the bank directors about our cause."

Wei Er stood up, straightened his suit, and nodded at Lu Chen with a smile.

"You can take your time to consider it, or even hold a meeting to decide. I hope to hear your good news in 3 days; these funds won't stay in my hands for too long."

"Please go ahead. Once there is a result, I will notify you immediately."

Lu Chen stood up and shook hands with Wei Er lightly.

He spoke with a smile.

Watching Wei Er's retreating back, Lu Chen sat down slowly, frowned, and lit another Cigar.

His fingers tapped lightly on the tabletop.

Wei Er had given him a huge problem!

After a good while, Luosha finally walked to Lu Chen's side, holding a wine glass.

The unique fragrance on her body startled Lu Chen out of his deep thoughts.

"Miss Luosha, why have you come over?"

Lu Chen stood up and shook hands with Luosha, a hint of confusion in his eyes.

"Wei Er told me his thoughts earlier. In principle, I agree. After all, such a large sum of funds—if it runs, it really runs."

A trace of fatigue appeared on Luosha's face. She waved her hand slightly, and the nearby waiters moved further away before she spoke softly.

Her cold voice carried a hint of fatigue, and it seemed just a little hoarse.

She sat directly on the chair Wei Er had just vacated, crossed her legs, pulled out a lady's cigarette, and lit it.

After several minutes, she glanced at Lu Chen.

"With such a large amount of capital being withdrawn from Xianggang, the entire Xianggang system will face instability."

Luosha did not wait for Lu Chen to answer, but instead reached out and waved her hand gently.

"The funds for this project have now reached ten billion. Even without Rainbow, it needs an entity to house these funds. If they don't flow into Xianggang, then Xianggang will be the one being bled dry."

After finishing, Luosha silently watched the cigarette until it was finished, then lit another one.

"I understand your position, and I support it, but I cannot tolerate this money leaving Xianggang."

Lu Chen looked at Luosha with a complex expression, silently crushed the Cigar, and switched to a 555.

His gaze looked toward the distance.

"Wei Er gave 3 days. I need to consider it in detail. If Miss Luosha has time, I hope we can hold a meeting tomorrow. The core stakeholders of the Nitan should be there; as for those scattered landlords, forget it."

Lu Chen paused, then continued speaking.

"The location will be the Zhuangyuan next to your Zhuangyuan. That is my secret base; tell the big bosses to keep a low profile."

A bitter smile appeared on Lu Chen's face.

Luosha looked at Lu Chen with some surprise and nodded slightly.

"Regardless of your decision, if Wei Er wants to withdraw this money in a scattered manner, I will take action."

Luosha paused slightly.

"At that time, I'm afraid I won't be able to support you."

"I will find a way."

Lu Chen nodded slightly, though the expression on his face was not good.

However, he was in no mood to pay attention to the presentation on Wei Er's side.

After all, Lu Chen had actually heard that set of rhetoric more than once.

After returning to the Zhuangyuan, Lu Chen did not immediately summon his subordinates to discuss, but sat quietly in the study.

The time it took to smoke a Cigar finally allowed him to relax quite a bit.

"Steward Wang, send a telegram to Xuan Hua."

Lu Chen wrote a paragraph on a slip of paper, then spoke softly.

"Notify Xuan Hua that the progress over there needs to be accelerated, and in a few days, a large sum of funds will arrive in the account over there."

After handing the slip of paper to Steward Wang, Lu Chen sighed softly.

It seemed Wei Er and Luosha had given him a choice, but in reality, there was no choice at all.

Lu Chen had to accept these funds.

However, Lu Chen still had room to choose how to accept them; he did not need to forcibly inject the funds into the Mud Pit Project.

This actually provided Lu Chen with a gap, which could satisfy the needs of both of them while providing himself with enough ammunition.

After a long time, Steward Wang knocked on the door gently.

"Sir, Manager Li's reply, using code number 3."

Steward Wang gently placed the telegram in front of Lu Chen.

Lu Chen nodded slightly, stood up, and took a book from the bookshelf.

He began to translate it by comparing it to the code.

After seeing the full text, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

He said a sentence to Steward Wang outside the door.

"Tell Xuan Hua to come back when he has time. Also, you personally deliver the invitations; tomorrow, invite all the big bosses to gather at the Zhuangyuan near Luosha's."

"Very well."

Steward Wang did not come in, but instead walked away directly.

Only then did Lu Chen toss the telegram into his portable space.

He picked up the newspaper on the table and began to read.

There was no real news, just some trivial matters and international events that had occurred a few days prior.

One report in particular made Lu Chen's pupils constrict.

"A certain research and testing facility in Piaoliang Guo has been attacked..."

It happened 3 days ago...

Lu Chen paused slightly, then continued flipping through it as normal.

After a good while, Lu Chen stood up, walked over to the telephone, and dialed a string of numbers.

"Director Zhang, it's little Lu; regarding that matter you mentioned, the other party has agreed."

There was a hint of both exhaustion and relief in Lu Chen's tone.

"However, I'm afraid we won't have time for our appointment tomorrow; how about we grab a meal together in the evening instead?"

After chatting for a while on the phone, Lu Chen finally let out a sigh of relief.

"Bang, bang, bang."

"Boss."

Seeing Lu Chen hang up the phone in the study, Chen Mo knocked lightly on the door.

"Come, sit."

Lu Chen nodded slightly, sat in the main seat, and gestured lightly to the seat beside him.

"Have all the matters been handled?"

"Everything has already been sent to Piaoliang Guo, and the new batch of security personnel is already in training."

Chen Mo spoke softly, picked up a 555 cigarette from the table, lit it, took a deep drag, and wore a look of exhaustion on his face.

"They just arrived over there, and President Li already arranged work for them; it's unclear..."

Lu Chen reached out slightly, cutting the topic short.

"Since they have gone overseas, then trust that Xuan Hua can take good care of them."

Lu Chen sighed slightly and lit a 555 cigarette.

"I have a dinner meeting with Director Zhang tonight; we'll eat at our Zhuangyuan. Steward Wang is busy, so you make the arrangements."

"Very well, then I will arrange for them to eat outside in the evening before returning."

A look of relief appeared on Chen Mo's face; he stood up, stretched, and then walked out the door.

Lu Chen glanced at Chen Mo's back, then looked out the window at the bustling Victoria Harbour in the distance.

He took a sip of coffee.
