At the South sector;
A Boeing Business Jet landed on the runway.
A tall and lean figure attired in a white business suit appeared at the plug door, his mischevious eyes scanned the surroundings. Under the sunlight, the pair of diamond platinum rings glitter in his ears.
"The Grand Versailles Manor," he whispered lowly before ascending the stairs.
Versailles Manor wasn"t just a mansion, it could be considered as a small and private city owned by the Lu family.
Lu Junhui welcomed the personal guest, Mr Louis Blanc. He took him to south block for a tour before Ethan informed him to bring the guest to the conference room of the East Wing"s top floor.
Meanwhile, Li Na was in H-room with her innocent therapist Mr Trevor, who was clearly sweating in an air-conditioned room. The angry beauty in front of him was cursing somebody. He just hoped she wasn"t angry at him.
At the top floor:
"Lu Jianjun, I"m honoured to meet you!" Mr Blanc greeted the person sitting on the head chair of the long table.
In response, Lu Jianjun nodded without looking up before signing the doc.u.ment.
"Louis, please. Take a seat." Lu Jun-hui offered the seat to the handsome man.
Louis smiled at him and said, "Looks like, only you"re happy to see your cousin." Lu Jun-hui gave a pleasing smile whereas Lu Jianjun shot a glance at him and resumed his work without bothering himself.
Noticing something, Louis knitted his brows, "Does he always work on holidays?"
Lu Jun-hui pouted sadly and nodded.
After a while, Lu Jianjun closed the file and said, "Come straight to the business."
A known smirk appeared on Louis" face, "You haven"t changed, huh! Explicit as always and straight to the point. I thought you"ll be happy to see me and ask about your mother" Louis then turned to Lu Jun-hui. "Don"t you?" as Lu Jun-hui"s eyes shone with antic.i.p.ation.
Ethan gave another file to Lu Jianjun before leaving to arrange for refreshments.
On the boss chair, Lu Jianjun leaned back still holding a black pen and lifted his eyes to meet Louis"s. "If there"s something I should know, I wouldn"t need that from you."
Louis chuckled lightly. "...Obviously. You don"t need me but we do need you."
"Just spit it out, "Lu Jianjun said faintly as his chair swirl slightly towards the right side gla.s.s wall and he began to play with ink pen between his fingers.
"Don"t be harsh, I personally came to congratulate you." hearing the change in topic Lu Jun-hui was disappointed.
He sighed. Now, they are back to the business!
A thought appeared in his mind as Lu Jun-hui smirked at Louis, "You continue your business. I have mine...", a dream project to work on. "See you later," And he left.
Louis applauded Lu Jianjun, " With 240 billion dollars revenue this year, you surpa.s.sed the Zhang Corporation. Congratulation! Now, Lu Corporation entered the list of the top five richest empires in the world and first in China. You"re Mother"s very proud of you."
Thinking about something, Lu Jianjun looked out the transparent wall with a slightly absent-minded expression and said, "That"s just mid-year estimation, not an annual revenue."
Louis was surprised yet impressed. "Wow... you strived for more. Man, you gotta be kidding me. If you want to surpa.s.s the Warren Empire. That"s impossible to achieve for another one or two decades."
"Besides...I heard and you"re well aware, the Heir of Zhang Corporation, Zhang Han got married yesterday. They didn"t publically announce it, but rumoured said that his wife is the daughter of Warren Smith."
Just then, the swirling pen between Lu Jianjun"s finger came to halt.
Louis continues, "And if that"s right I don"t think you"ll be able to outbreak their collaboration. Warren Empire was the leading company for many decades. People say Warren Smith"s both the daughters are extremely talented, although their ident.i.ties were concealed. And if Zhang Han married anyone of his daughter then he"ll be the next President of the Warren and the Zhang Empire. He"ll be invincible! I"m sure you know more than me, after all, I"m an outsider." Smirking, Louise scanned Lu Jianjun"s face, encoded with void expression but he couldn"t decode him.
What"s in his mind?
Suddenly, Louis chuckled. " That lucky b.a.s.t.a.r.d, Zhang Han enjoying his honeymoon and here you"re working on holidays. You should get married too. Maybe you"ll meet your lady luck just like him."
Uninterested, Lu jianjun began to play with his pen. And changed the topic. "You made a close visit last month. What for?"
Louis was shocked. His expressions turned frosty as if the mask he was wearing were taken off. "Y-You knew!"
Turning his head toward Louis, Lu Jianjun caught him off guard, his cold and sharp eyes glaring at him. "Don"t a.s.sume you can invade my territory and I don"t know it."
