After watching Lu Dongâs car leave, Yu Zhao raised her head and looked at Lu Kun. âWhat do we do now?â
âLetâs go and eat hotpot.â
Yu Zhao and Lu Kun walked into the hot pot restaurant.
The hot pot restaurant was filled with the smell of mala spicy and fresh meat, which whetted peopleâs appetites.
After ordering a few signature dishes, Yu Zhao picked up the kettle on the table and poured herself a full cup of tea.
Lu Kun glanced at her and said with a smile, âThe tea in this hot pot restaurant is very good. I heard that the owner imported the Longjing tea from Yunnan by air. His tea-making skills are first-class. Letâs try it.â
Yu Zhao picked up the teacup, brought it to her nose, and sniffed it. She nodded in agreement. âIt does smell good.â
âBy the way, why isnât it you whoâs going to the company, but ninth brother?â Yu Zhao couldnât help but be curious.
Lu Dong and Lu Kun were biological brothers. Due to some reasons, Lu Dong had retired from the army early and had set up a company in the capital. Now, the companyâs business development was doing very well.
But Yu Zhao didnât know much about the details.
Lu Kun rolled his eyes at her and said, âYou should know the ninth brotherâs personality. He doesnât like to go to the company. Do you think heâs willing to manage that pile of sh*t?â
Yu Zhao nodded, âYouâre right. Heâs not suitable to manage a company with his personality.â
âButâ¦â She paused. âSince he doesnât like companies, why did he start one? He has nothing better to do than to do a bunch of troublesome projects!â
âUhâ¦â Lu Kun was speechless for a moment before he smiled and said, âThatâs just how he is. He never considers the pros and cons of everything he does. He likes to pursue the results and does what he says. Heâs never afraid of anything!â
Yu Zhao shrugged his shoulders and changed the topic. âBut thereâs one more thing I forgot to tell you. Iâve almost done communicating with the Jiang familyâs young master.â
âAs expected my Sister Yu. Youâre ruthless and donât talk much.â Lu Kun gave her a thumbs-up.
âHe even wants me to join RZ.â Yu Zhao took a sip of hot tea and said, âHowever, Iâm sorry to have rejected it.â
âFrom what I know, RZ is a place that all young people dream of joining. But youâre not joining. Why?â Lu Kun could not understand.
In his opinion, Yu Zhao could have had a better future if she entered RZ rather than hiding in the base of Blue Star.
âWhy must I join? The main purpose of my return is to find the secret information that I lost,â said Yu Zhao lightly.
âBut RZ is also an important place. If you find out somethingâ¦â
âNo, no, no,â Yu Zhao interrupted Lu Kun, âTo me, all roads lead to Rome. Why should I join RZ?â
Lu Kun was convinced and no longer spoke.
After the meal, Lu Kun was about to send Yu Zhao back to school when a nanny van suddenly stopped in front of them. A small team of bodyguards alighted from the car and blocked their way.
âIâm sorry. The ninth brother would like to invite both of you,â said the bodyguard respectfully.
Yu Zhao didnât have any objections. She walked around the bodyguards and got into the car.
There were still many people waiting in line for food in front of the hot pot restaurant. When they saw this lineup, they couldnât help but be frightened. Some people even thought that something had happened.
After a while, the car stopped in front of an 88-story building. The bodyguards lined up in two rows to welcome Yu Zhao and Lu Kun.
This pomp made people feel the power of authority.
They took the elevator to the 66th floor. When the elevator door opened, they could not take their eyes off the expensive decorations.
âPlease.â The bodyguards stood on both sides and opened up a path for them.
Yu Zhao nodded and walked forward. Just as she passed by a female employee, she was grabbed by a slender and soft arm.
âGirl, please wait.â
Yu Zhao looked up at the person who had come.
The woman was about 30 years old and was wearing a professional dress. Her long, curly black hair fell to her waist. Her delicate and beautiful appearance made the bodyguards around her pale in comparison. There was a faint smile on her mouth, and there was a hint of charm between her brows.
âIs there anything?â
Yu Zhao looked at her and felt that he had seen this lady somewhere before.
âWhat is your relationship with Lu Dong?â The woman suddenly approached her. Her tone was light. But if one listened carefully, it was not difficult to hear a trace of danger in her tone.
Almost instantly, Yu Zhao reacted and quickly pulled away from her.
The woman also noticed that Yu Zhaoâs vigilance was extremely high, and her eyes turned from charming to fierce. âWho are you?â
Yu Zhao looked at her coldly and said in a deep voice, âIt doesnât matter who I am, but you better not touch me. Otherwise, I canât guarantee what Iâll do.â
