Soon they reached Lu Corporation, and Lu Lijun thought to go to the president’s office, but Yu Fan informed that someone was waiting for Lu Jinhai and Lu Lijun in the Chairman’s office.
"Father, if there is nothing important, I would like to leave," said Lu Lijun before his father could ask him to join.
"Mr. Wen wished to meet the fourth young master too," Yu Fan informed, "He is an important person for Lu Corporation."
"It has nothing to do with me," Lu Lijun countered coldly, but Yu Fan remained affected as she was used to it.
"He is also my friend, so meet him for my sake," Lu Jinhai insisted.
Lu Lijun could have said no again, but he never liked to argue on something for long. He thought to meet for the formality and went with his father while his heart wanted to go elsewhere.
Yu Fan excused herself, "I need to attend president Lu."
Lu Jinhai permitted her and went to his office with Lu Lijun.
As they entered the office, a man around Lu Jinhai’s age was waiting for them.
"Glad to see you here, Chairman Wen," Lu Jinhai greeted him, and the man stood up from the couch to greet him back.
"What’s this formality Lu Jinhai? Call me by my name. We are friends first, and then business comes."
"I was messing with you, Wen Chao." Lu Jinhai hugged his friend.
"My son, Lu Lijun," Lu Jinhai introduced.
"Handsome and talented young man as expected of your son," Wen Chao commented and shook hands with Lu Lijun, who silently witnessed the affection between two friends.
"Have a seat," Lu Jinhai instructed.
The other two sat while Lu Lijun accompanied them unwillingly, not letting it show on his face.
His expressions were always neutral in all the situations, as if nothing mattered to him and made it difficult for others to understand what goes in his mind. The change in him was only shown when he wished to show his anger to Jiang Yuyan, but he successfully hid the care and worry he had for her.
"I hope you remember, uncle Wen," Lu Jinhai asked.
"He was young and didn’t see me for so long. How can you expect him to remember me?" Wen Chao interrupted his friend.
"I remember. Mr. Wen and brother Qiang together started the business in country Z," Lu Lijun replied.
"Oh, you remember. Good, you know it. That’s a good sign of a future leader," Wen Chao commented, smiling pleasantly.
Lu Lijun didn’t wish to comment further.
"How are your kids?" Lu Jinhai asked.
"As you know, my son is busy looking after business, and daughter is finally returning to China," Wen Chao replied.
"Hmm." Nodding, Wen Chao looked at Lu Lijun, "If you remember me, then you must remember Liwei too as both of you were in the same school."
"I don’t," came the honest reply from the cold guy.
Lu Jinhai felt awkward and tried to handle the situation, "You know he didn’t like to make more friends, and he mostly studied from home."
"True. It’s okay; they can know each other once she is back. I think they will get along well," We Chao suggested, and Lu Jinhai nodded, smiling.
"I have some work to finish. I want to take a leave," Lu Lijun said.
Lu Jinhai knew there was no work, but Lu Jinhai didn’t hold him back if he wanted to leave.
"You should go. I will take some more time with my friend," Lu Jinhai permitted.
Bowing slightly to the guest, Lu Lijun left. The moment he stepped out of the Chairman’s office, Lu Lijun made it hurry towards the president’s office.
The receptionist greeted him when he entered the floor, but the guy in a hurry didn’t spare them a glance. Not even knocking on the door, Lu Lijun entered the office with the wish to see her if she was fine but happened otherwise.
He was welcomed by the backs of three people talking to Jiang Yuyan and blocked his view. The moment they turned, Lu Lijun’s eyes froze on one person, his friend Noah.
Xiao Min and Yu Fan bowed to him while Noah looked at his friend smiling pleasantly. Realizing, he was not his friend here, Noah bowed to him too.
"Noah," Lu Lijun spoke and went to him.
"Seems like fourth young master knows Mr. Noah, new assistant for Mr. Xiao Min," Yun Fan concluded while Xiao Min and Jiang Yuyan kept quiet.
Lu Lijun looked at Jiang, who looked at him too but her sight held no meaning.
To break the awkward silence, Xiao Min informed Yu fan, "Mr. Noah is the fourth young master’s friend."
Lu Lijun wished to ask Jiang Yuyan how she was, but this sudden and shocking surprise stopped him from asking. He looked at her for a while to check if she was not well, but she looked fine and felt relieved.
"Fourth young master must wish to talk to his friend," Xiao Min suggested.
Lu Lijun nodded and signaled Noah to follow him. Noah looked at the others, and Xiao Min permitted, "You can go."
Noah followed his friend. As Xiao Min was there, Yu Fan excused herself by leaving the two.
"Boss, we hired Noah, but someone might not like it," Xiao Min said.
"It’s for his own good. In the future, he will need trustable people around him and friends too," Jiang Yuyan concluded.
Xiao Min agreed, "I understand. He would be a strong support to the fourth young master."
Jiang Yuyan just nodded and resumed her work as she spoke, "You should go to someone as soon as possible."
Xiao Min understood what his boss meant and nodded slightly though he didn’t plan to go anywhere.
