Chapter 91 - Asking for Help (1)

Lu JingYan nodded. His pen quickly left forceful words on the paper in front of him.

Most if what they were saying now were more or less what he had anticipated.

His intention was not to halt all investment but for sure he wanted Huanyu to feel the pain when Oushi drew back.

That’d provide the best result.

Granted, that would only work if only Oushi has the ability to absorb the kind of loss he was talking about.

They must have the ability to recover should they halt all partnerships with Huanyu.

And he was right that they did have that kind of capital. And the price to pay was spending two years in recovery.

Lu JingYan’s brows unfurrowed. “Thank you all. Meeting adjourned. Take a day off tomorrow.”

All of the upper level managers stood up and nodded at him respectfully. Only after the intense discussion did they feel the attack of the intense tiredness.

Most of those who attended the meeting had their own chauffeurs. Only one or two of them went by themselves and Lu JingYan arranged for chauffeurs to take them back.

City Nan had a lot of constructions going on lately and the air was very hazy. The sky was grey and it was difficult to see the stars and the moon.

It was past midnight and the lights in the city were starting to go down. Only a few street lights remained.

Looking out from the gigantic floor-to-ceiling window, the night scene of the city looked a little bit of chilled and desolate.

Looking at the back of Lu JingYan, Jiang Chong felt very moved.

There were questions that were lingering around his throat but he dared not ask them out loud.

Right when he had all sorts of thoughts going through his mind, Lu JingYan looked over at him.

“Boss Lu,” said Jiang Chong as he walked over to Lu JingYan.

Lu JingYan rubbed between his brows with one hand. His pitched black eyes were unfocused. “Jiang Chong, under what situations would I ask other for help?”

Chi Ying said she’d do everything within her ability to help him if he ever needed her help.

Otherwise, she asked him to stay as far away from her as possible.

Jiang Chong almost busted out laughing. What kind of question was that?

Nevertheless, Jiang Chong searched through his memories and he really couldn’t think of a time when Boss Lu needed to ask others for help.

As the heir of the Lu’s, Boss Lu had always been arrogant and noble. He has always had the upper hand in any negotiations. There were always others who’d throw resources at him… he didn’t seem to be in need of anything.

As such, Jiang Chong started making stuff up with his eyes closed and in a serious tone.

“When you ask for direction. Assuming that you have no signals to use your app and that the party whom you asked is a local who knows the area very well.”

“When you are sick and ask for medicines. Assuming that you are seriously ill, on your deathbed and the other party as a good Samaritan who happened to walk past or a doctor.”

“Begging for your life when you are robbed. Assuming that the other party is stronger than you, your bodyguards are not around, there is nobody else there who can help you out, and the other party is also Somalian pirates.”

Lu JingYan went silent for a while before he said in a low voice, “Why don’t you go and get some rest.”

Jiang Chong frowned and gave him a look. “You need to take care of your health.”

“As do you.”

Chi Ying, after posted her own 3x3 collage, quickly earned herself a bunch of fans.

She has yet to have an official work and didn’t have a lot of ability to attract fans to speak of. Most of those in the comment area were those who liked her look. Those who were at the scenes said that her acting was amazing and that she had just debuted and didn’t have any dirt, so everybody was giving her the benefits of the doubt.
