Zhao Yuan had helped Zhao Zhanhuai, so she was more or less proud of herself. She also wanted to use this opportunity to restore her relationship with Zhao Zhanhuai.

Therefore, when she returned home from school, she didn't go upstairs after dinner. She just sat on the sofa and watched TV absent-mindedly, waiting for Zhao Zhanhuai to come back.

Zhao Zhanhuai had been very busy with work recently, and it usually ended after ten o 'clock at night.

Because the atmosphere at home had been gloomy during this period of time, he couldn't bear it emotionally. He even deliberately stayed at the company until after eleven o 'clock at night before returning.

Today, he didn't want to go back even more.

Zhao Yuan had really helped him with the Lu Corporation's land. However, Zhao Zhanhuai was a 25-year-old adult man after all. How could he not see that Zhao Yuan wanted to use this opportunity to get closer to him?

She was so excited when she called him. When he returned, she would probably take credit in front of him.

It was just the mentality of a little girl.

Zhao Zhanhuai didn't think much of it.

It was just that he was under a lot of pressure.

He was very clear that he couldn't give Zhao Yuan the praise, care, and warmth that she wanted.

Whether it was because he sympathized with his biological sister, Zhao Mingxi, or because he had sensed Zhao Yuan's thoughts earlier, he couldn't look directly at Zhao Yuan like before.

On one hand, he did need the Lu Corporation to give up the profits.

But on the other hand, he couldn't get closer to Zhao Yuan against his will.

Therefore, on the way back, Zhao Zhanhuai's thoughts were heavy. He wished that there were a few more red lights on the road so that he could get home later.

It would be best if Zhao Yuan was already asleep when he got home. That way, he wouldn't have to face her.

However, he didn't expect that when he got home, it was almost midnight. The car had just stopped outside the Zhao Family's villa when he could see Zhao Yuan waiting in the living room with a book and looking out from time to time through the floor-to-ceiling glass.

Zhao Zhanhuai's scalp went numb.

He hesitated for a long time in the car and had the urge to drive back to the company immediately.

But before he started the car again, Zhao Yuan saw his car. She was pleasantly surprised and hurried out in her slippers to greet him. "Brother."

Zhao Zhanhuai: "…"

Tonight.

Lu Ye's father was woken up by his assistant in the middle of the night. The assistant panicked and said, "President Lu, bad news. Mr. Jiang suddenly returned to the country and asked to see you. His flight is about to land. Do you want me to pick him up or —"

Lu Xu was still drowsy as he held the phone. When he heard the name "Mr. Jiang," he felt as if he had been whipped awake.

He jumped up and hurriedly put on his clothes. "Why did Mr. Jiang suddenly return to China?

Was something wrong with the company or something else?

Hurry up and tell me the flight number. I'll pick it up myself! "

Mr. Jiang was the CEO and the largest shareholder of Lu Xu's company. It could be said that the company was supported by Mr. Jiang's funds!

A little of that group of rich people's money was enough for Lu Xu's company to earn a lot of money!

In the past, Mr. Jiang had always stayed abroad and occasionally had remote meetings. Now, he actually returned to China without saying anything?

Could it be that something big had happened to the company?

Lu Xu was sweating profusely as he hurriedly drove to the airport.

After receiving Mr. Jiang, Mr. Jiang's expression was very ugly. He didn't bring any luggage and was travel-worn. It was obvious that he had specially come back to solve the problem.

Lu Xu's heart skipped a beat. Although he didn't know what had happened, he already felt that something was wrong. He couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Jiang, w-what happened?"

"How would I know what happened?!"

Mr. Jiang was flustered and exasperated. He yelled, "I was abroad for 15 hours. Just an hour ago, I suddenly received news that the investors under the Fu Corporation suddenly withdrew their shares from my main company. I don't even know what happened!

I was so anxious that I called them to ask, but they only gave me a hint!

So I want to ask you what you've done! "

Lu Xu's whole body tensed up from being scolded, but he was still confused. "But I haven't done anything recently. All the projects are progressing according to your requirements. Everything is going very smoothly."

"Are you preparing to sell a piece of land for the golf course?" Mr. Jiang said angrily. "If you haven't signed the contract, then don't sign it. This project will be terminated immediately."

Lu Xu was shocked. "Why are you suddenly terminating it? Although this project won't make a lot of money, the partner is Zhao Zhanhuai, a subsidiary of the Zhao Corporation. He's a rising star and very capable. He's just one step away from the final step.

If we terminate it now, won't we have to pay a loss? "

Mr. Jiang's attitude was very firm. "Fine, we'll pay!

Do you think that small amount of money you have is enough for me to pay? "

…

Although Lu Xu was confused, seeing Mr. Jiang's flustered and exasperated attitude, he knew that it wasn't a small matter. He guessed that this matter had offended some higher-ups, and the other party had directly put pressure on Mr. Jiang, and then layer upon layer of pressure on him!

Lu Xu didn't dare to be negligent at all. He was so scared that he immediately went back to the company and adjusted the candidates for the bidding. He directly crossed out Zhao Zhanhuai's company, which was about to sign the contract, from the list of partners.
