wrong, have I Mr. Lu is my boss, and he's also my husband's friend, so of course I should look after him a little more.""That's what they say, but I just always feel something is off, but I can't put...If he is a friend, of course that's good. If he is an enemy, he will have to find a way to get these shares back.
Otherwise, it would remain in the hands of that shareholder, constantly posing a fatal blow to the Lu Group.
Never mind, Lu Hanchuan irritably pinched the bridge of his nose.
At this moment, Qiao Mu's phone suddenly rang.
He glanced at Lu Hánchuan. Lu Hánchuan nodded slightly, after which he took out his phone and answered the call.
A few minutes later, the call ended.
Lu Hanchuan glanced at him, "Whose phone call"
"It was the auction house. They said there will be an antique auction in three days and asked if Mr. Lu is interested" Qiao Mu replied truthfully.
Lu Hanchuan was just about to say he wasn't interested when he suddenly thought of something, his eyes flashed. "Who did this auction invite"
"I heard that this batch of cultural relics was hard-won from abroad. Ordinary people wouldn't be able to afford them, so only real bigwigs were invited. The prominent figures in City C should all have been invited, right" Qiao Mu pondered for a moment and said.
Lu Hanchuan tapped the tea table lightly with his fingers, "So that means Shi Yao will also be going"
"Eh" Qiao Mu was stunned, not understanding why he suddenly brought up Shi Yao.
"General Lu, wouldn't it be that you would go only if Director-General went" Qiao Mu tentatively asked.
Lu Hanchuan didn't hide anything and generously admitted his thoughts.
Joe's jaw dropped as he swallowed nervously. "Mr. Lu, you wouldn't... be interested in Director Shi..."
"What" Lu Hanchuan frowned.
Qiao Mu gritted her teeth, "Have you fallen for the director"
Lu Hanchuan's expression was slightly startled, the next moment his eyes flashed once, then returned to normal, "No, I just wanted to confirm if she was really Fu Xiaoyao."
"Really" Qiao Mu sounded skeptical. "I can just confirm if she's Fu Xiaoyao by checking her overseas records. Why would I need Mr. Lu to go personally"
"That's enough!" Lu Hanchuan impatiently interrupted him, "Just ask her if she's going to the auction."
"Yes!" Qiao Mu replied, then picked up his phone and called the assistant beside Fu Xiaoyao.
In the car, Fu Xiaoyao heard Lisa say that the call was from Qiao Mu. Her eyebrows furrowed slightly, “He wouldn't call me out of the blue, it must be Lu Hanchuan who told him to. Answer it and find out what's going on.”
"Okay." Lisa nodded slightly and answered the phone.
A moment later, she put down her phone, "Jo the assistant said that there will be an auction in three days. Would you like to go"
"An auction" Fu Xiaoyao was a little confused. "What kind of auction"
"It's an auction of antiquities," Lisa replied.
To be specific, she didn't know much either.
"A cultural relic auction" Fu Xiaoyao touched her chin and pondered for a moment, then suddenly remembered, "My brother mentioned last time that a batch of domestic cultural relics were seized from a foreign antique dealer. Could this be it"
Yes.
"So that's how it is, I didn't expect it to be auctioned in City C. But why did Lu Hanchuan ask me this" Fu Xiaoyao lowered her eyelids, and couldn't help but think of some conspiracy theories in her heart.
Lisa shook her head. "I don't know, George didn't say anything, he just asked if you were going later on, Mr. Director, are you going"
"Go, of course!" Fu Xiaoyao's peach blossom eyes narrowed. "He asked like that, why wouldn't I go I also want to know what he, Lu Hanchuan, really wants."
"Okay, then I'll get back to you." Lisa smiled and nodded, giving Joom the reply.
After about ten minutes, we arrived at the company.
As soon as Fu Xiaoyao got out of the car, the front desk staff handed her an invitation. Upon opening it, she immediately realized it was an invitation to an auction.
It seems like there's no other choice but to go!
Fu Xiaoyao curled the corner of her lips, closed the invitation and handed it to Lisa behind her, then walked towards the elevator.
Soon, three days passed.
Fu Xiaoyao arrived at the auction scene wearing a black sleeveless floor-length gown.
There were already many people on the scene, and at a glance, they were all prominent figures from City C.
"Miss Shi!" a low male voice sounded behind her.
Fu Xiaoyao reined in her thoughts, slowly turned around, and greeted with a smile, "Mr. Lu!"
"Miss Shi has been here for a long time, hasn't she" Lu Hanchuan asked.
Fu Xiaoyao waved her hand, "No, I just arrived."
"Then, may I invite Miss Shi to accompany me" Lu Hanchuan's deep eyes gazed at her.
Fu Xiaoyao was surprised by his words at first, then covered her mouth and smiled, "Mr. Lu is really amazing! I'm fine, but I heard that Mr. Lu's wife seems to be someone who isn't easy to get along with. In the past, any woman who came close to Mr. Lu was driven away by her. If I partner with you, what if it gets to your wife's ears..."
"Just ignore her!" Lu Hanchuan pursed his thin lips, his tone slightly displeased.
Fu Xiaoyao's eyes flickered, "Listening to President Lu's tone, it seems like his relationship with his wife isn't very good, is it"
Lu Hanchuan lowered his eyes, “There are some special reasons.”
"Oh Then I have the honor of knowing" Fu Xiaoyao looked at him.
Lu Hanchuan didn't respond.
Fu Xiaoyao shrugged. "Well, it seems I don't have that honor. But I agreed to Mr. Lu's invitation just now, but I have a request."
She playfully smiled at him.
Lu Hanchuan frowned. "What are your demands"
"My demands are simple," Fu Xiaoyao stepped forward, tiptoed closer to him, her voice alluring, "Just in case Madam Lu finds out later and misunderstands our relationship, Mr. Lu, you must definitely come forward to explain for me, otherwise if I'm labeled a mistress, I won't accept it!"
Having said that, she extended her finger and drew two circles on the man's chest, her movements were extremely ambiguous, with a hint of seduction.
Lu Hanchuan's brows furrowed even tighter, and he instinctively wanted to take a step back, but for some reason, his feet wouldn't obey, leaving him rooted to the spot.
Not only that, but the woman's behavior was clearly flirting with him. He should have felt repulsed, yet he didn't.
He wasn't repulsed, in fact, he felt a certain pleasure, especially the scent of her perfume and the warm breath she exhaled when she spoke, which made his body feel hot.
He actually reacted!
Realizing this, Lu Hanchuan's face suddenly became extremely ugly, his thin lips pressed into a straight line.
He actually reacted to a woman who looked like Fu Xiaoyao, and he had only met her two or three times!
This is ridiculous!
Thinking about this, Lu Hanchuan's face darkened. He stepped back forcefully, creating distance between himself and Fu Xiaoyao.
Fu Xiaoyao noticed his strangeness, a hint of confusion flashing in her eyes, "Lu Zong, what's wrong with you"
Lu Hanchuan angrily didn't look at her, "It's nothing!"
He now regretted it deeply, regretting why he had to personally verify her identity and regretting why he had come to provoke her just now.
"Are you really okay Because I don't think you look so good!" Fu Xiaoyao calmly put her hand down and sized up Lu Hanchuan's cold features.
Lu Hanchuan took a breath, forcing down the emotions in his heart, and said in a calm voice: "It's nothing!"
"Well then, that's good to hear." Fu Xiaoyao seemed to believe it and nodded slightly. She didn't ask any more questions.
Lu Hanchuan let out a breath, raised his hand to press his forehead, and after calming himself down completely, he put his hand down. "The auction is about to start, let's go."
"Just leaving" Fu Xiaoyao stood still, looking at him with a half-smile. "President Lu hasn't agreed to my request just now. What if your wife really comes to me and scolds me as a mistress What should I do then"tended his hand toward Lü Hánchuan.Lu Hchuan glanced at him and extended his hand to shake. "Hello, Mr. Wang.""Mr. Lu, how come you suddenly have time to find me" Mr. Wang raised two glasses of wine a...
