Lin Shuwen's eyes followed the man's hand and landed on his father. He greeted him again. "Hello, Mr. Lu."
Lin Shuwen's father did not expect Lin Shuwen to be so young. He was at most 35 years old. Moreover, he looked gentle and polite and seemed easy to get along with.
He hurriedly nodded at Lin Shuwen and said in a fawning manner, "Hello, Secretary Lin. I've heard a lot about you. Thank you for taking the time to come today."
Lin Shuwen often mingled with all kinds of people, be they high-ranking officials, low-ranking officials, or even CEOs. He could tell what kind of person they were with just a glance.
To be honest, he was a little disgusted to see Huo Yao's adoptive father trying to please him the moment he arrived.
He had visited the Huo family before, but the Huo couple seemed rather comfortable and well-mannered.
Lin Shuwen coughed. Although he was a little disappointed, he did not show it on his face. He pursed his lips and said, "You're welcome."
Lin Shuwen's father was unaware of Secretary Lin's inner thoughts. He gestured for him to eat and said, "Secretary Lin, let's talk over dinner."
When Lin Shuwen walked in, He Xiaoman pressed the service bell and asked the staff of the club to serve the dishes.
Lin Shuwen wasn't there to eat, so he stood where he was and did not follow Father Lu. Instead, he simply said, "Mr. Lu, why did you ask to meet me? Just tell me. I have something to attend to."
It was obvious that he was declining the invitation.
Lin Shuwen's father had already taken two steps away. When he heard this, he halted and turned back. He glanced at Liang Jun and recalled the latter's reminder to get straight to the point.
Hence, Lin Shuwen's father assumed that Lin Shuwen was really busy, so he went straight to the point. "Actually, I asked you out to discuss the bidding for the old town area. Lu Corporation has come up with a complete proposal..."
As Papa Lu spoke, he signaled He Xiaoman with his eyes to bring the proposal over.
Lin Shuwen had actually guessed why the other party had invited him to dinner. Looking at the proposal in front of him, he did not reach out to take it. Instead, he said directly, "Mr. Lu, the bidding for the old city will go according to the normal process. I am only responsible for following up. The final selection is not up to me."
Lin Shuwen tended to curry favor with those in power at times, but he was the same as Fang Chen when it came to work. He would never abuse his power for personal gain, so he resisted the urge to walk away.
The man in front of her was Fang Chen's adoptive father, Huo Yao, who had saved Fang Chen.
If it weren't for Miss Huo, he wouldn't have agreed to meet her today.
Mr. Lu's hand froze in midair as he stared at Lin Shuwen. He had thought that Lin Shuwen's decision to show up was a sign of approval for Lu Corporation. Little did he expect that Lin Shuwen would reject him without even looking at the proposal.
Papa Lu froze for a while until He Xiaoman nudged his arm gently. He snapped out of his daze and turned to look at her.
He Xiaoman signaled him with her eyes before she retrieved a card from her designer handbag. She hurriedly stuffed it into Papa Lu's hand and gestured for him to give it to Lin Shuwen.
He Xiaoman's understanding was simple. There was only one reason why Lin Shuwen had rejected her outright. He did not give him any money.
In her opinion, there was no problem in the world that money could not solve. Even if there was, it was because he did not have enough money.
