"You're right, Mr. Lu." Xu Shaohua hurriedly responded and handed him the menu. "But you still have to take care of your stomach. See if there's anything you like. Feel free to order anything. This meal is on me."
"Then I won't stand on ceremony." Lu Luan took the menu and looked at it seriously. "Manager Xu, you don't have to be so polite. We're just chatting casually. This makes me feel a little embarrassed."
"Okay, okay." Xu Shaohua nodded and smiled even more brightly. "It's my honor to be able to meet with someone like you. I'm a little nervous. Please don't mind."
Lu Luan smiled meaningfully. "Speaking of people, Lin Yi is considered a big shot. Manager Xu, you've already worked with him. If you say something like this to me, you're treating me like an outsider."
At the mention of this, Xu Shaohua's face darkened a little. "You're talking about Mr. Lin? He's not someone I can associate with. As for why he's looking for me, I think you're smart enough to guess it. I won't beat around the bush."
"Manager Xu is very direct." Lu Luan finished ordering and handed the menu back to Xu Shaohua. "Since you've said it directly, I won't beat around the bush."
"Of course," Xu Shaohua said with a face full of pride. He took the menu and glanced at it. Suddenly, his heart ached so much that his flesh trembled.
This little devil had specifically chosen the most expensive dishes. Xu Shaohua, who had always been stingy, couldn't help but feel that he was doing it on purpose.
However, Lu Luan's eyes were calm and his smile was gentle. He looked harmless and didn't seem like such a person.
Although he was a little suspicious, Xu Shaohua knew that now wasn't the time to be calculative. He casually ordered two cheap dishes and added them. She handed the menu to the waiter and said, "Whatever you want to say, Mr. Lu, please say it. I've specially booked a private room for us to talk."
"Okay, then I'll ask directly. What kind of treatment did Lin Yi give you?"
Xu Shaohua was startled. He didn't expect this to be the first thing he asked. Could it be that he wanted to snatch her away from Lin Yi?
As soon as this thought appeared, Xu Shaohua felt a little excited.
However, she had signed a confidentiality agreement with Lin Yi. Thinking of that man's methods, she didn't dare to say it out loud.
Sensing her thoughts, Lu Luan said, "It doesn't matter. Just say it. There are only the two of us here. I promise that no one else will know."
Xu Shaohua's eyes darted around as if he was considering the risks and benefits involved.
In the end, she seemed to have thought it through. She gritted her teeth, closed her eyes, and said, "He promised to help me pay off my debt and give me a big project to make a lot of money. After that, as long as I stay with TK, I'll be able to get a lot of money every month."
"That does sound good." Lu Luan smiled, but the meaning in his eyes was unclear.
After Xu Shaohua said it out loud, she let out a sigh of relief. She stared at Lu Luan expectantly and asked, "Why are you asking this, Mr. Lu?"
The greed and desire in her eyes were obvious. Lu Luan could even guess that she wanted to raise the price. He couldn't help but feel a little disgusted. If this woman wasn't useful, he would have turned around and left.
However …
She had miscalculated this time.
Under Xu Shaohua's eager gaze, Lu Luan slowly took out his phone from his pocket and put it on the table.
The phone screen lit up and showed the recording interface.
Xu Shaohua's face suddenly changed. He asked in a sharp voice, "Mr. Lu, what are you doing?"
Lu Luan still had a gentle smile on his face. He tapped the table with his finger and said, "Spit out everything you know, and I can delete this recording. If you don't want to, I'll let Lin Yi listen to this recording."
Xu Shaohua stared at him as if he wanted to eat him alive. "Mr. Lu, aren't you going too far?"
"Do you think I'll use money to exchange for it?" Lu Luan smiled, but his tone was a little disdainful. "Do you think I'm a fool to give money to someone like you? You don't have to talk to me about other things. Just answer me directly. Are you going to tell me or not? "
Xu Shaohua gritted his teeth. It was rare for him to be so stubborn.
Lu Luan saved the recording and put away his phone. He nodded at her. "It seems that Lin Yi has done a good job of intimidating you. Since you don't want to tell me, I won't force you. I think you know what the consequences will be."
Xu Shaohua still didn't say anything. She only looked at him with resentment and anger.
No matter how stupid she was, she knew who she couldn't afford to offend. Although Lu Luan and Lin Yi were evenly matched, he had just returned to China. Other than the Shengshi Group, he had nothing to back him up. As for Lin Yi, his entire family had been rooted here for decades. He even had the help of someone like The Thirteenth Master. It was obvious who was more powerful.
Maybe Lin Yi would let her go since she didn't say anything.
Lu Luan knew that she wouldn't say anything more. He knew that this trip had failed.
He stood up and looked at Xu Shaohua. "Since the business talks have failed, I'll take my leave first. Manager Xu can enjoy those expensive delicacies alone."
He did it on purpose!
At this time, Xu Shaohua understood everything.
She gritted her teeth and only said two words, "You're ruthless."
"You flatter me," Lu Luan replied expressionlessly. He left his seat, opened the door, and left the private room.
After he came out, he immediately deleted the recording on his phone.
Since it didn't threaten Xu Shaohua, the recording was useless. Even if he released it to the public to slander Lin Yi, there was no evidence. Lin Yi would soon turn the situation around. Of course, he wouldn't do such a bad thing. So, he simply deleted it so that it wouldn't be dug out if it was left in his phone for too long.
In the private room, Xu Shaohua finally couldn't take it anymore. She kicked the chair over and fiercely slammed the table.
Originally, she didn't have to rely on these people. She could just stay in her small company and enjoy her life. However, everything changed when that wretched girl hooked up with Lin Yi. She had been captured and tortured by The Thirteenth Master. After she came back, she was used as a tool by these big shots.
She really had enough of this kind of life.
And all of this was that b * tch's fault.
Li Weixi, who had just woken up, suddenly sneezed and shivered for no reason.
She walked over to look at the window. Seeing that it was closed, she put on her clothes.
When Lin Yi walked in, he saw her putting on her jacket. He asked, "What's wrong? Are you cold? Do you have a fever? "
"No." Li Weixi touched her nose. "Maybe I just woke up. I'll be fine in a while."
"Then lie down first." Lin Yi pressed her back into the bed. "Xiao Bu has already left. If you like him, I'll ask Lin Yi to bring him over later."
