Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
At an exclusive leisure center.
Chu Yichen parked the sports car and got out with Li An’an. At the courts, a few wealthy people were seated on the chairs resting. They got onto their feet when they saw Chu Yichen.
“CEO Chu, you’re finally here”
“CEO Chu’s presence brings glory to our humble venue.”
The few middle-aged men were much older than Chu Yichen, but they were eager to please him.
Chu Yichen nodded.
Li An’an didn’t expect this. It seemed bringing her to play tennis was considered a surprise.She tugged at Chu Yichen’s sleeve.
Chu Yichen was unbuttoning his suit jacket when he felt her pulling at his garment. He looked sideways at Li An’an.
“This is the surprise? But I don’t know how to play tennis.” It was the sport of the rich, and she didn’t have a chance to learn it, nor did she want to.
Chu Yichen tossed the suit jacket on her head. It covered her from head to neck. Li An’an felt her vision go dark and she could not see anything. She could smell the faint scent of perfume. She quickly pulled the jacket off and held it in her hands. She looked at Chu Yichen angrily. “What’s the hurry?”
Chu Yichen sneered and unbuttoned his sleeves. He rolled them up to his arms and walked towards the group of people who were waiting.
“CEO Chu, let’s have a game later. I haven’t had a game in a long time. Speaking of which, we had a game the last time we worked together.”
“Old Zhang, you want to continue working with CEO Chu, right? That’s what you’re saying. Haha, speaking of which, when I worked with CEO Chu last time, we had a game together. CEO Chu’s skills are really impressive.”
Chu Yichen smiled at the flattery around him.
Lu Ming took a sip of water and looked furious. A few days ago, Chu Yichen had expressed refusal to work with him, for no good reason. Recently, the man had also been making things difficult for his pany, but everyone was still trying to please him. It made him nauseous.
He walked up to Chu Yichen and said in an unfriendly tone, “CEO Chu, may I ask why you canceled our collaboration?”
The harmonious atmosphere was interrupted. Everyone looked at Lu Ming in surprise. Lu Ming must have gone insane today, to criticize Chu Yichen in front of everyone.
Everyone took a step back. They didn’t want to be involved. They had invited Chu Yichen for a game, to build a good relationship, not to bee enemies. They shouldn’t get involved in this kind of thing.
Chu Yichen said mockingly, “I’m not interested in collaborating. Do I need a reason for that? Is the Lu Enterprise so eager to cooperate with Chu
Enterprise? Will your pany go bankrupt without the collaboration?”
Lu Ming was so humiliated that he almost crushed the mineral water bottle. “CEO Chu, you must be joking. The Lu Corporation is also a powerful and big pany. We haven’t fallen to the point of having to secure a collaboration. Since that’s the case, there’s no need for the two families to cooperate in the future.’
Chu Yichen said disdainfully, “You haven’t been notified yet? I issued the documents in the office this morning.”
Lu Ming’s face turned pale. Chu Yichen was ruthless. He had almost dealt a heavy blow to the Lu family.
Li An’an watched in disbelief as Chu Yichen and Lu Ming confronted each other. Chu Yichen’s aura was cold and domineering, and Lu Ming was defenseless.
Li An’an had been in the pany for a few days now, and she had never heard of any conflicts between the two families. Suddenly, she thought of her meeting with Lu Ming. This was the reason. She thought that she had dispelled Chu Yichen’s suspicion. It turned out that she had not. He had already planned to take drastic measures. She did not know what to do. Her eyes met Chu Yichen’s cold gaze that was filled with warning and ruthlessness.
Lu Ming watched the interaction between the two of them and suddenly understood. Chu Yichen must have known that he had met her and was trying to intimidate him.
But he was not going to give in. “An’an, I have something to attend to today.
See you the next time.”
Lu Ming deliberately addressed Li An’an and then left. The people here only supported Chu Yichen, so there was no need for him to stay for the game.
Moreover, if Chu Yichen had issued those documents, the Lu Group could be in a lot of trouble and would need time to resolve it.
Li An’an turned around and looked at Lu Ming’s back view. She suddenly felt sorry that she had put him in such a spot.
Chu Yichen leaned towards her. “Did you enjoy today’s surprise?” His tone was
icy.
Li An’an said, “I told you that we knew each other from before. Do you believe him now? If there was anything between us, he wouldn’t have reacted this way. When he saw me by your side, he would have been in extreme pain. Obviously, his pany was foremost in his mind. There is nothing going on between us.”
Chu Yichen was silent for a few seconds before he glanced at her and walked arrogantly towards the group of nervous wealthy men..
