Chapter 836: Chapter 836: The Invincible Pair, Both Invited by Si Fuqing (1)

Su Yang truly admired Si Fuqing.

Apart from the numerous times she had saved him, her foresight in many aspects was remarkable.

Initially, Su Yang thought it was overkill for Si Fuqing to specifically invite people from the Ji and Lu families of the Free State.

But unexpectedly, LI Yanchen did indeed seek Florent’s help at the critical moment of the LI Group chairman election.

In theory, this was a matter internal to the LI family, and outsiders had no right to interfere.

Comparing connections in the Free State?

Then let’s compare.

As soon as Su Yang spoke, the entire conference room fell silent.

Old Master LI’s expression became serious. “Fine, then let’s wait for five minutes.”

Su Yang’s return genuinely made him happy.

After all, Su Yang, as a top celebrity, had an exceptionally strong influence in the Great Xia Empire and was about to enter the international stage. This would undoubtedly bring more benefits to the LI Group.

No one else could achieve this except Su Yang.

Even if LI Yanchen were elected as the chairman of the LI Group, he would ensure Su Yang had ample assets and shadow guards to secure his identity and status.

Those five minutes felt like an eternity to everyone in the room.

LI Yanchen was unconcerned.

Just five minutes? What could be done in such a short time?

Even for residents of the Free State to come over, they would need to go through many procedures, and including travel time, it would take at least three or four days.

Could Su Yang invite people from the Free State in five minutes?

No one believed it.

He did indeed fear LI Yuzhi, but he never took Su Yang seriously.

“Old Master, the five minutes are up. If anyone were coming, they would have arrived by now,” Second Madam LI said, watching the second hand. “It’s fine if we wait, but we shouldn’t keep Mr. Florent waiting. It would damage our family’s reputation.”

Just as if to slap her in the face, there was a knock on the conference room door right after she finished speaking.

Su Yang was about to get up to open the door.

LI Yanchen’s expression held a hint of sarcasm and disdain.

The Free State had little interaction with the other states, and it had taken him five years to establish a connection with Florent.

He was curious to see whom Su Yang had invited.

Su Yang had just stood up when there was a commotion outside the door.

“Stop knocking, you’re too slow. The freak said we’re already late, so why are you still knocking?” a voice impatiently called out. “Watch me.”

“…No, don’t mess around. This is the Great Xia Empire, keep it down, hey!”

“Bang!”

The door was blasted open.

To be precise, it was blown open.

The area where the lock had been was now a black hole.

Yet, the rest of the door was untouched.

The control over the force was impressively precise.

Lu Xingci nonchalantly put away his customized mini bomb. “See? That was easy. I didn’t do anything, right?”

Ji Yun: “…”

You blasted the door with a bomb and called it nothing?

Could you be a bit more restrained?

As a thirty-year-old man, he felt like he found his true peer when it comes to academic with this fifteen-year-old genius.

However, their everyday interactions revealed a generational gap that was insurmountable.

He didn’t even want to acknowledge knowing Lu Xingci.

“The freak said the best-looking one, let me see.” Lu Xingci walked in with his hands in his pockets and immediately spotted Su Yang. “Yes, it’s you.”

Su Yang: “…”

Is this Si Fuqing’s method of identifying people?

“It’s me.” Su Yang shook hands with Lu Xingci. “Mr. Lu.”

The title “Mr. Lu” pleased Lu Xingci greatly.

He was usually called “young master,” which made him feel childish.

At once, he found Su Yang even more likeable.

“Su Yang, what do you think this place is?” LI Yanchen was annoyed. “Is this a place for children? Don’t tell me this kid is who you invited?”

A child could give the LI family access to the Free State?

Utterly preposterous.

Old Master LI also frowned.

Second Madam LI seized the opportunity to add fuel to the fire. “Old Master, how can a child attend our board meeting? Isn’t that against the rules?”

“Why can’t I enter?” Lu Xingci was displeased. “Explain why I can’t enter. What’s so special about this place?”

Florent, who had been shocked speechless since Lu Xingci’s entry, finally found his voice. “Young-Young Master Xingci?!”

Lu Xingci was the cherished treasure of the Lu family. How could he possibly come to the Great Xia Empire alone?

Even if the Free State was a land of gold and talent…
