Therefore, although President Chen had been ruthlessly rejected by Lu Qingyu last time, he still came to the airport today and doggedly blocked Lu Qingyu.
“We already said everything that needed to be said last time.”
The man raised a hand and rubbed his brow. After Lu Qingyu finished speaking, he lifted his eyes and searched the main hall for his assistant.
President Chen hurriedly signaled for the people behind him to block the path behind Lu Qingyu.
He immediately began reprimanding his two subordinates.
“I told you that President Lu is our honored guest, yet you still haven’t arranged the reception properly. What use is there in keeping you at the company?”
His voice was loud, and the two subordinates completely blocked the path behind Lu Qingyu.
Lu Qingyu frowned and was just about to speak.
A clear female voice suddenly cut in at that moment.
“President Chen, what a coincidence. What brings you here?”
Su Jingsheng wore a faint smile as her high heels touched the ground, and she happened to stop beside Lu Qingyu.
Her slender figure blocked the man behind her, cutting off President Chen’s view of him.
The scene instantly fell utterly silent.
President Chen obviously recognized Su Jingsheng.
The greatest competitor was Su Corporation, so of course he knew her.
Although Miss Su was responsible for part of Su Corporation’s business, the two of them apparently had never actually spoken before.
President Chen glanced at Lu Qingyu behind her and almost immediately made the connection.
Could Su Corporation also be seeking a partnership with the Tianfeng Consortium, and was she actually trying to brazenly cut in and steal it from him?
At that thought, President Chen’s Expression turned icy, and he stared at Su Jingsheng with a furrowed brow.
Seeing this scene, Su Jingsheng became even more certain of her guess.
When she had seen Lu Qingyu over there just now, she had wondered whether he had caused some trouble and offended President Chen of Huarui.
Now that she saw President Chen’s expression, she felt even more certain that was the case.
Although she had not clearly heard what President Chen had been saying, she had plainly seen it—President Chen had been loudly cursing in Lu Qingyu’s direction.
So she had no time to bother with the man behind her. She tugged at the corners of her lips and smiled at President Chen.
In the business world, Su Jingsheng rarely smiled.
“President Chen, if he has offended you in any way, let me apologize on his behalf first. I hope you can be magnanimous and not take offense.”
…?!
President Chen froze. His mouth opened slightly against his will, and his gaze followed Su Jingsheng’s finger.
The “he” she mentioned, the one who had offended him—could she mean… Lu Qingyu?
“No—”
No, my ancestor, what are you saying?!
President Chen was about to speak when he suddenly received a look from Lu Qingyu.
The man’s eyes were long and narrow, gleaming with a cold light. As he stared at President Chen, they carried a clear warning.
President Chen abruptly shut his mouth.
But he still involuntarily raised a hand and wiped away a bead of cold sweat.
…What was going on now? Judging by the situation, it seemed that Su Jingsheng was earnestly pleading with him on Lu Qingyu’s behalf?
“Ah, yes.”
President Chen truly had no idea how he could respond beneath Lu Qingyu’s murderous gaze.
So he could only grunt twice.
Su Jingsheng naturally took that as perfunctory, clearly believing that the other party had not yet calmed down.
She frowned. Honestly, she really did not know why she had inexplicably rushed over to help this man out when she saw him just now.
It seemed that the trouble he had caused was no small matter.
“President Chen, please calm down for my sake.”
“After all, the two companies will still have business dealings in the future. There’s no need to damage our goodwill over a minor matter.”
Su Jingsheng carefully considered her wording before speaking with difficulty.
The cold sweat on President Chen’s face flowed even more heavily.
He raised his hand and wiped away more sweat.
“No, Miss Su, what is your relationship with Lu… Mr.?”
President Chen nearly stumbled over his words. “President Lu” had almost slipped out just now.
He had to understand the situation before speaking. Otherwise, in this atmosphere, his heart—which had undergone bypass surgery—might not hold out.
Su Jingsheng froze, gritted her teeth, and inexplicably turned to look at the man behind her.
When she turned her head, she happened to meet Lu Qingyu’s gaze.
The man’s brows and eyes were deep and striking. One look into them felt like falling into a frigid spring.
The intensely oppressive aura around him surged toward her.
Su Jingsheng was genuinely a little confused.
This man… if one called him an embroidered pillow, he truly did not look the part.
The aura radiating from his entire body was so powerful that it was impossible to look away.
She quickly shook her head and pressed her lips together.
Forget it… What use was a powerful aura? He had still caused trouble and been blocked here by someone.
Steeling herself, she turned back to meet President Chen’s gaze.
“He’s my boyfriend.”
…
President Chen fell silent.
Lu Qingyu’s indifferent to women reputation was well known, and so was his bad temper.
What was going on now?
Was this some new game young people played?
Su Jingsheng herself did not know how those words had slipped out.
The atmosphere became extremely awkward.
“Jingsheng!”
At last, a voice emerged and broke the stalemate.
Mia dragged her luggage along and waved at Su Jingsheng.
She must have heard what had just been said, because her delicate little face held a hint of bewilderment.
“When did you get a boyfriend—I didn’t know?”
Mia’s question was tactful. In reality, she wanted to ask: Wasn’t Su Jingsheng’s fiancé Shen Mingfeng? When had he been replaced by the man in front of them?
But the awkward situation had finally been broken, and Su Jingsheng suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.
“I’ll tell you later.”
She leaned close to Mia’s ear and gave her a brief explanation.
President Chen silently studied lu qingyu’s expression, thinking that today’s partnership would probably not happen.
The man nodded toward the outside of the airport, and President Chen understood at once.
He hurriedly slipped away.
Su Jingsheng was just about to say something when the other party’s figure had already vanished from her sight.
Helpless, she turned to look at Lu Qingyu, who was still standing there.
The man stood straight, still dressed simply in a shirt and trousers. There were dark circles beneath his eyes, making him look as though he had not rested well.
“I’ll let it go this time. Try to cause less trouble next time. I still have something to take care of; I’ll contact you this afternoon.”
Su Jingsheng finished speaking in one breath. Without caring that Mia was still staring blankly at Lu Qingyu, she directly dragged her outside.
…
Inside the airport, Lu Qingyu’s assistant hurried over to the proprietor while wiping away sweat.
“President Lu, all the meetings for this afternoon have been arranged.”
The man did not respond. His gaze remained fixed in one direction for several seconds, his expression indistinct.
He took his phone from his pocket and glanced at it before reaching out to take the several more important documents from his assistant.
His slender fingers flipped through several pages before he suddenly spoke.
“Did Huarui and Su Corporation submit Letters of Intent at the same time?”
The assistant froze, then nodded.
Only afterward did he remember that these were merely two small companies from Mainland China. Logically, he had only mentioned them once during his report. He had not expected the rumors that President Lu never forgot anything he heard to be true.
“What’s wrong, President Lu? …Is there some problem with these two Companies?”
“No.”
Lu Qingyu gripped the fountain pen and swiftly wrote two strokes, signed his name, and handed it to the assistant.
“Go back and find the Letters of Intent for me to look over.”
“Yes.”
The assistant answered as he followed Lu Qingyu’s footsteps, hurrying outside.
