It wasn't as if he hadn't done anything overboard to her, but if she angered this man, she reckoned that he would really … do anything. Moreover, there were only the two of them in the elevator. She stole a glance at the number on the elevator. Why did it stop at the second floor?
"… Why isn't the elevator moving?" She didn't answer his question but pointed at the number two on the side. "Is this your doing? Chu Weiye, I'm here today for something … "
"I know. Aren't you here to receive the award today?"
He finally turned around. His well-dressed appearance revealed the elegance and charm of a successful businessman. However, the light in his eyes was deep and dark. It wasn't the kind of person that Bai Lu liked. "Congratulations. Are you ready to receive the grand prize?"
It was impossible that Chu Weiye didn't know about Bai Lu's matter. Of course, he already knew that the winner of this competition would be recommended to study abroad. His words just now were obviously referring to the matter of going abroad. Bai Lu heard it and smiled. "President Chu, if you're sincerely congratulating me, then I'll thank you. I don't need to explain anything else to you."
She stepped forward to press the button to open the elevator door, but Chu Weiye reacted quickly and grabbed her wrist. Bai Lu frowned and flung his hand away forcefully. Of course, he didn't grab her wrist with much force, but her gaze towards him was tinged with vigilance again.
She … couldn't help but be wary of him.
Chu Weiye sneered in his heart. There was a hint of helplessness in his deep eyes as he looked at her. "Bai Lu, don't look at me like that. You'll anger me." He chuckled. "I'm sincerely congratulating you. I'm also sincerely asking you if you're ready to receive the grand prize."
"I won't go abroad." Didn't he just want to know if she would go abroad? Bai Lu told him the truth. "I've already discussed this with Feifan. I won't go abroad. So when I receive the award later, I'll tell you directly. Are you satisfied now? "
Chu Weiye's eyes flashed as he looked at her. After a while, he shook his head. There was no sharpness in his tone, nor was there any sarcasm in his expression. He paused after each word and said with incomparable seriousness, "No, I'm not satisfied."
Bai Lu was stunned.
He continued, "I want you to go abroad. Do you know how chaotic City A is now? I've already told you before that the Liang Clan has a lot of problems to solve. Liang Feifan can't even protect himself. If you continue to stay by his side, not only will you be giving him a stumbling block, it won't do you much good either. Actually, it's a good opportunity to go overseas. You have great design talent, and you can study hard overseas. 'SGA Architecture Design' is not something that you can enter just because you have money and power. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. "
SGA architectural design …
Of course, Bai Lu knew how difficult it was to get in.
Just as Chu Weiye said, it was indeed not something that could be entered with money and power. The school would only accept ten students every year, and all of them had to have excellent works. This time, it was City A's Conquest and the SGA overseas that had recommended her, the winner of the competition, to enter the SGA. It was indeed a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity …
But if she went in, she would be separated from Liang Feifan for a year and a half.
She had thought this through before, and she wouldn't regret it.
"This is my own business. Thank you for your concern, President Chu, but I've already made my decision." She paused for a moment, not intending to continue on this topic. She had a question in her mind, and since the two of them had already spoken, she couldn't help but ask, "President Chu, I saw on the news that Far East is going to collaborate with the Liang Clan. Is it true?"
Chu Weiye smiled. He was good-looking to begin with, and when he smiled, he was very charming. However, he could enter Bai Lu's eyes, but not her heart.
"Do you hope it's true, or not?"
Bai Lu knew that he wouldn't answer her so easily, but in her heart, she still hoped it was true.
She actually had some understanding of the Liang Clan's current situation. Apart from Far East, there were no other shortcuts that could help the Liang Clan avoid this disaster. But would Chu Weiye be willing to help Liang Feifan?
Bai Lu expressed her doubts.
"What I hope for, President Chu, you might not do it, right?"
Bai Lu's mind turned, and she spoke a little more tactfully. "Actually, I've been in EC for so many years, and I know that the Liang Clan has a very good foundation. Although the collaboration with the Ye Clan this time ended up like this, and there are more or less losses, I believe that President Chu must have studied the Liang Clan's current situation. If you really collaborate with Liang Feifan, it might not be a bad thing for you. Also, didn't you get scammed by Ye Zijie in the past? Compared to the Ye Clan, I believe that the Liang Clan should be more pleasing to your eyes, right? "
Chu Weiye knew that this woman was quite smart, but he didn't expect that when she really spoke to him, she would have such a little thought.
The corners of his mouth curled up even more. "Should I now think that you're doing this for my benefit?"
Bai Lu's expression stiffened slightly, but she still said nonchalantly, "Not really. How can there be eternal enemies in the business world? There's no such thing as eternal friends. No matter how much you and Ye Zijie don't get along, it's just that you're young and impetuous and can't see eye to eye with each other. But it's different with Ye Zijie. President Chu, there's no way you don't know how dirty Ye Zijie's business methods are. He never leaves a way out for others. The existence of such a company is actually a disgrace to the industry, isn't it? Although it's said that all businessmen are unscrupulous, if you're too unscrupulous, then you really can't be a businessman. "
Chu Weiye raised his hand and clapped. He raised his eyebrows and said, "Not bad, well said! You hit the nail on the head. You really are the woman that I, Chu Weiye, have taken a fancy to. "
He suddenly reached out, and his slender fingers quickly hooked the long hair on her shoulder. Bai Lu instinctively stepped back, and the soft black hair slipped through his fingers. His fingers moved slightly, wanting to grab it, but the black hair had already been pulled away.
"President Chu, if you want to talk, just talk. Please don't touch me again. I'm already a married woman."
Chu Weiye retracted his hand. "A married woman? If I, Chu Weiye, like something, I don't care if it's branded with someone else's trademark. "
"I'm a person, not a thing!"
"Of course, you're the woman that I've taken a fancy to."
Chu Weiye raised his eyebrows. His tone was gentle, but each word was firm and sharp. "Of course you're not a thing, but whether you're Liang Feifan's woman or not, I still won't give up on what I want. It's the same principle."
He said, "Bai Lu, I'll wait for you. You want me to help Liang Feifan, don't you? Sure, but I'm a businessman. I won't do anything that doesn't benefit me. So you know what I want. If you've thought it through, you can look for me at any time. "
He paused, then kindly reminded her, "I'll give you a free reminder. Liang Feifan gave the Liang Clan's top management five days. If you count it, two and a half days have already passed. There's still half of the time left. Do you think he can turn the tide?"
Bai Lu's heart skipped a beat. Chu Weiye had already pressed the button to open the door and walked out. When he reached the door, he seemed to have thought of something. He turned sideways and said, "… Finally, congratulations to you. My girl, you're amazing!" These were sincere words.
When they reached the floor where the awards were being presented, Bai Lu unexpectedly bumped into Buck.
He looked as dispirited as ever. He was a good-looking man sitting in the guest seats. Even though he looked dispirited, he still exuded a unique air of nobility.
Bai Lu thought of Liang Feifan and naturally went up to him to greet him. "… Buck."
"Huh? You're here so early? "
Buck looked at one of his legs and glanced at Bai Lu from the corner of his eyes. He was fiddling with his phone, which was a newly downloaded game software. He was fiddling with it as he spoke intermittently. "Have you found your seat? Did you come up alone? "
"… Well, Buck, did Feifan look for you last night?"
"Oh, he came to the Ghost Path of All Lives."
"Then … when did he leave?"
"He left not long after he arrived last night." Buck's hands paused. He suddenly thought of something and looked up. He glanced at Bai Lu's hand and asked, "He didn't come?"
Bai Lu frowned. At this moment, she couldn't help but worry. Did something really happen to Liang Feifan?
He wouldn't be like this, not giving her any news at all. Not to mention turning off his phone, even if there was no battery, he would have called to inform her in advance. Even if he was in a meeting, he would have asked Guan Chao to contact her …
Right, Guan Chao?!
How could she forget about Guan Chao?!
"I'm going to make a call." She turned around and took out her phone. She found Guan Chao's number and dialed it. Fortunately, Guan Chao's phone was connected. It rang three times before it was picked up. Bai Lu felt her heart relax a little. "Assistant Guan, this is Bai Lu."
"Mrs. Liang."
Apart from her own family, Guan Chao was the only person who knew that she was married to Liang Feifan. Although they used to be colleagues, they were no longer on the same level. Guan Chao was a law-abiding person. He was very well-behaved when he spoke and did things. He respectfully addressed her as Mrs. Liang. "What's the matter?"
Bai Lu was too lazy to correct him. She asked anxiously, "Is Feifan in the office?"
"No. Mr. Liang called me last night and asked me to host today's meeting. He sounded a little tired, so I thought he wasn't feeling well. That's why he didn't come to the office today."
Bai Lu had just breathed a sigh of relief, but it got stuck in her throat again. She was anxious. "He didn't go to the office?"
…
"… I got it. If you hear anything about him, please call me back immediately."
After she hung up on Guan Chao, she hurriedly dialed Liang Feifan's number. However, his phone was still turned off. She was anxious. She waited until everyone had arrived. When it was time for the award ceremony, she was still holding her phone in a daze.
