Chapter 759 - 759: It’s Just a Rumor

Even though she had a pleasant chat with President Wang today, once a project was on the negotiation table, it couldn’t be finalized just because of a pleasant discussion. If she didn’t investigate the company thoroughly, the Lu family wouldn’t pay a single cent.

It was impossible for President Wang to try his luck with her.

However, Guan Lei’s appearance saved her the trouble of investigating further.

President Wang was unhappy that Guan Lei had exposed his secret so rudely. He turned to Lu Shan and smiled inwardly. Lu Shan was still easier to fool.

President Wang looked at Guan Lei and pretended to be calm. “President

Guan, this is just a rumour. How can you believe it?”

Then, President Wang turned to Lu Shan and smiled. “An outstanding woman like President Lu wouldn’t believe such a rumour, right? We’ve talked so much just now. President Lu knows that our project will develop very well in the future. I believe that as long as the Lu Corporation dares to invest, we’ll definitely make a lot of money in the future.”

President Wang was puzzled. Since Guan Lei already knew about the problem with his project, why did he come here today to find out about his investment?

He couldn’t figure out this question no matter how hard he thought about it. However, he knew very well that Guan Lei wasn’t someone who could be easily fooled. Even if he was glib with his words today and got Guan Lei to agree to invest, Guan Lei would definitely investigate him thoroughly.

Instead of doing this, he might as well pull the Lu family in. A woman with long hair and a lack of knowledge would probably let down her guard after a few flattering words. At that time, she would still be fooled by him. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

At the thought of this, President Wang didn’t mention the name but said sarcastically, “Once some good projects come out, there will be more wolves than meat. It’s normal for some investors to want to occupy the majority of our projects and release some rumours to confuse their competitors.”

“Oh? When President Wang said that there were some companies, could it be that you are talking about our Guan Corporation?” Guan Lei asked with a sharp gaze.

President Wang quickly smiled. “Young Master Guan, you must be joking. I’m just referring to some companies with ulterior motives. Why would Young Master Guan say that? It seems that my words have caused Young Master Guan to misunderstand. I’m sorry for not explaining properly.” President Wang said apologetically.

He didn’t want to offend Guan Lei, but he also didn’t want to lose the Lu family’s investment.

President Wang looked at Lu Shan with a smile and said, “President Lu, I think we’ve almost finished our discussion just now. You’ve already understood what you need to know. If there’s no problem, why don’t you take a look at the contract now and sign it?”

Lu Shan looked at the calculating middle-aged man opposite her with a half-smile. It seemed that President Wang really took her for a fool.

Guan Lei’s heart skipped a beat when he saw the faint smile on Lu Shan’s face. Since he had already said so much, Lu Shan should have understood, right?

Guan Lei’s understanding of Lu Shan only stopped at Rong City back then. He remembered that Lu Shan was a very gentle woman who could cry at any time and needed her husband to coax her.

That was why Guan Lei was nervous.

Given the current situation, it was obvious that President Wang was focused on Lu Corporation. If Lu Shan insisted on investing, Guan Lei would have no choice.

Although investing in this project wouldn’t cost much, once the truth was revealed, the Lu Corporation might encounter a huge crisis of credibility.

If things really developed in this direction, Guan Lei could only get someone to ruin President Wangs project now. As long as the project was gone, Lu Shan would naturally not invest.

Lu Shan’s slender fingers tapped on the table twice before she said to President Wang, “President Wang, I’ve received your sincerity. I’ll give you an answer in the afternoon.’

Guan Lei heaved a sigh of relief when he heard Lu Shan’s words. There was still time.

“President Lu, you know…” President Wang wanted to say something, but Lu Shan suddenly stood up and stopped him.

“President Wang, I still have to go for a facial. There’s not enough time, so please go back.” Lu Shan smiled.

President Wang sneered in his heart. As expected of a woman. All her attention was on her face. The Lu family would be finished sooner or later.

Watching President Wang leave, Guan Lei couldn’t help but ask Lu Shan,

“Auntie, we really can’t invest in this project.”

Lu Shan raised her eyes and glanced at Guan Lei casually before saying, “You came here today to stop me from signing the contract with President Wang?”

Guan Lei nodded honestly. “The Lu Corporation is Xi’s home. I naturally don’t want anything to happen to the Lu Corporation. I will protect the things that

Xi cares about..
