Chapter 416

After half an hour passed, the assistant kicked Lu Jinnian again . The man still stared unwavering at the contract without any reaction at all, treating everything around him like air .

The two partners before him had clearly grown restless .

Seeing as Lu Jinnian hadn’t said a word, the assistant coughed heavily . In the end, all he could do was smile at the two partners . “I’m so sorry . How about this . . . We’ll take this proposal back with us to have a good look . When we reach a decision, I’ll contact you both . What do you think?”

The two of them looked at each other, and one of them nodded their head, saying “All right . “

The assistant then hurriedly got up, politely seeing both of the partners out . When he came back, Lu Jinnian eyes had already pulled away from the proposal and he looked out the window with an intense expression .

In the past half a month, this was the fifth time he met partners to discuss a possible cooperation . In the end, after they met, Mr . Lu would keep his silence . No matter what the other person said, or how someone prompted him, he didn’t react at all .

To be more exact, ever since Qiao Anhao and Mr . Lu had broken all ties, Mr . Lu had become silent . Before, Mr . Lu didn’t speak much either, but now it was so to a frightening degree . Often during business meetings, he wouldn’t utter a word throughout . When he did speak, it would be two simple words, “Let’s begin”, or “Meeting adjourned” .

Mr . Lu had always been antisocial, but now, he was even more antisocial than before . Sometimes, he would attend mandatory events, but whenever he went, he would always find a quiet corner alone .

Qiao Anhao’s split with him seemed like it had little effect on him . His temper was normal, emotions were normal, but, he was very clearly even more distant and difficult to get close to .

Quite a few people at the company also noticed him acting strange . Some said that Mr . Lu had become even colder, others said that Mr . Lu was even more condescending, but only he knew that he’d lost someone who he could talk to, so he didn’t want to talk at all .

The assistant shook his head, walked forward, and looked at the same page and words in the proposal that had left Lu Jinnian in a trance . In the end, his eyes landed on the word “Hao” . If that was the case . . . It was something that appeared often, a most ordinary word, and yet, because the word was in that woman’s name, every time he saw it, he would end up like that . . .

The assistant gently sighed in relief, put the proposal away, and then said in low voice, “Mr . Lu, it’s getting late, shall we leave?”

Lu Jinnian stayed quiet for some time, but in the end, he nodded without a word . He then stood up, and the assistant hurriedly called the service staff for the bill . He followed Lu Jinnian out .

After he got in the car, Lu Jinnian still didn’t say a word . He sat there in the back on his own and pulled out his phone . Who knew what he saw, but he stared dazed for a long time . He abruptly raised his head and said in a cold, flat voice, “To Mian Xiu Garden . “

After Qiao Anhao moved out of Mian Xiu Garden, Lu Jinnian had never went back to there Madam Chen was originally hired for Qiao Anhao . Now, she had already been given a big sum of money to leave .

The assistant was in a daze for a moment . He didn’t say a word, but followed Lu Jinnian’s orders and changed the route in the navigation .
