Chapter 765: Visit To The Museum. Do You Not Have Any Legs Or Any Eyes?
To Leng Xuan’s team, the impact of her actions was huge. The whole team couldn’t help but look over.
Leng Xuan came from a good background and she was pretty. She was also the eldest daughter of the respected Leng family. She was the youngest Elder to enter the Elders’ a.s.sociation and she was also one of few women honored with the t.i.tle.
They had never seen her offer anything to anyone. Even when she had met with Lu Zhan the day before, Leng Xuan’s att.i.tude had been lukewarm at best.
Why was she now…
Although Young Master Lu came from a prominent background, he was still inferior in rank compared to anyone from the Leng family of Jijing Island.
Only the Elders knew about matters regarding Red Flame so Leng Xuan’s team did not know. When they saw Leng Xuan extend her hand, they felt as if lightning had struck their brains. But everyone there was smart. They could easily tell that Leng Xuan clearly had reasons for intention behind her actions.
Leng Xuan did not intend to hide it either.
Lu Yī and Lu Wu exchanged glances. For some reason, they felt anxious.
It had better not be what they thought. It would be hard to explain to Ms. Gu.
Lu Chengzhou looked up at Leng Xuan. His expression was cold and distant.
After a few seconds, he said calmly, without lifting his hand. “Lu Chengzhou.”
Leng Xuan’s arm remained stiffly extended towards him.
Seeing that Lu Chengzhou did not show Leng Xuan any face, the team was shocked. They looked at Leng Xuan, then at Lu Chengzhou.
There was hard silence in the conference room.
After a while, Leng Xuan smiled and retracted her hand as if she did not care about his att.i.tude.
People from Jijing Island had come to Red Flame’s territory to cause problems. They had expected Lu Chengzhou to be unwelcoming.
Leng Xuan sat back down in a poised manner. Everything about her was graceful and alluring. When the person in charge in the team saw that Leng Xuan did not storm off in anger, he sighed in relief.
Then, he pushed a file towards Lu Zhan. “This is the contract that we have come up with. Have a look, Commander Lu and Young Master Lu. If there are any issues, we can discuss and amend it.”
Red Scorpion’s medical department had a big base which produced a great amount of medicine and equipment. It just so happened that they had exactly what Leng Xuan needed for her current research project.
Lu Chengzhou did not respond.
Lu Zhan took the doc.u.ment and pushed it to the person in charge at Red Scorpion. “Have a look.”
The medical department had always been under the direct jurisdiction of Lu Chengzhou, especially so now that almost the entire medical department had been transferred to the Blood Inst.i.tute.
Lu Chengzhou asked about everything, no matter big or small. Red Scorpion’s medical department would only dare to work with Jijing Island if he signed the contract.
When the person in charge finished looking, he pa.s.sed the doc.u.ment to Lu Chengzhou respectfully.
He took it and flipped the pages until he found the name of the medicinal herb.
Qing Su.
…
The signing went very smoothly.
When it was done, Lu Chengzhou got up and tried to leave.
Leng Xuan spoke all of a sudden. “Young Master Lu, the capital’s Ancient Architecture Museum is near the hotel. It is my first time in the capital, why don’t you take me to visit it?”
Lu Zhan was speechless.
For some reason, Lu Yī and Lu Wu felt the hair on their necks stand up.
Lu Chengzhou stopped in his tracks and turned slightly to the side. The corner of his lips curled up as if he were smiling. He said, “Do you not have any legs or any eyes? Can’t you go on your own?”
His words were filled with ridicule and mockery.
Leng Xuan couldn’t help but clench her fist. She almost could not maintain the smile on her face.
After Lu Chengzhou said that, he turned around and left with Lu Yī.
Leng Xuan’s team panicked and they did not even dare to look at Leng Xuan’s expression.
Young Master Lu was just like the way he was described to be. Difficult and obnoxious. He showed no face to anybody.
With such little effort, Elder Leng had been tactfully rebuked by him twice.
Leng Xuan sat still. She was tense and she glared in the direction that Lu Chengzhou had left in.
