The next day, early morning.
After getting up early and performing a simple wash-up, Andre changed into an exceedingly expensive suit. This handmade Armani suit was his favorite and he wore it only for the grandest of galas.
Today, however, he wore this suit to et Lu Yu.
Looking at himself, bloodshot eyes staring back in the mirror, Andre sighed helplessly, his face showing a trace of weariness and age. ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ NoveI[F]ire
Ever since leaving the VIP room of the Peace Restaurant yesterday, he had tossed and turned the whole night, unable to sleep. The words Lu Yu had said last night made him tremble all over!
Even now, the ancient syllables spoken by Lu Yu still echoed in his ears, along with those four simple words: Assassin Alliance!
These ancient syllables were like the whispers of a demon, constantly ringing in his ears, making him feel an indescribable dread, to the point of being so frightened that he couldn't sleep at night!
As the vice president of Newman Group, a company with a special background, Andre always had a ntal note of which organizations could be provoked and which could not, and this information was very clear in his mind.
And the Assassin Alliance was definitely sothing in his mind that he absolutely could not provoke!
Because, in his mory, there had never been an organization that survived unscathed after provoking the Assassin Alliance!
Recalling what Lu Yu said before leaving last night, Andre had now fully realized that today would be a day that would change his destiny!
Lu Yu had given him a whole night to think about it, just to make him co humbly today. If he still stubbornly held up his act, he would be on a path to utter ruin!
Just like how Lu Yu whispered to him last night, if Lu Yu doesn't hear the result he wants today, Andre and even the entire Newman Group would fall into crisis, just like every other enemy the Assassin Alliance has faced, with outcos always being incredibly tragic!
The more he thought about it, the more scared and uneasy Andre felt, and just at that mont, a crisp doorbell sounded from his room.
Ding Dong!
With the sound of the doorbell, Andre's body suddenly twitched. He turned to stare at the door behind him, dumbstruck for a full two seconds, and then, tried to test cautiously: "Who, who is it?"
In his current state of stretched nerves and inner fear, Andre was feeling quite jumpy. When he heard the doorbell, a trace of fear crept into his heart!
Could it be that soone was going to make a move on him?
"Mr. Andre, it's !"
Just when Andre was feeling paranoid, a voice from his assistant reached from outside the door: "The car and the contracts you requested have all been prepared. Should we head to Victory Group now?"
Hearing his assistant's voice, Andre relaxed a lot inside. He took a deep breath, then opened the door, looked at his assistant in a suit and said, "Let's go!"
At this mont, Andre's heart was extrely heavy and oppressive, as if a giant rock weighed heavily on his chest, making him feel stifled.
This feeling was like when he first went to negotiate his first business deal. That tension and oppression truly made breathing feel sowhat difficult!
Since Andre's rise to fa, combined with the support of the company, his manner was always very aggressive, always the one making others nervous, and he never thought he would feel nervous during this ti.
Fate often likes to mock others, and Andre never imagined that at the height of his success, he would again experience that initial nervous feeling!
However, now he didn't have the option to choose, because not only him, but even if his superior ca, they would have to comply at this mont!
Now, his anxiety and fear coexisted, though the latter possibility was greater!
Thinking of this, Andre shook his head and then, together with his assistant, walked into the elevator, heading down to drive towards Victory Group.
...
In the morning, during the rush hour, Lu Yu, along with a large number of employees from Victory Group, walked into the lobby, and couldn't help but show a slight smile on his face, looking rather relaxed.
He didn't know why, but seeing these white-collar workers coming and going daily, Lu Yu also felt a sense of fulfillnt.
"Boss!"
Seeing Lu Yu appear in the lobby, Wu Song imdiately ca up to him, looked at Lu Yu and said, his face full of flattery.
"What's up?"
Seeing Wu Song's expression, Lu Yu asked: "Is Leng Qingqiu asking for again?"
Seeing Wu Song so obsequiously approaching, Lu Yu's words showed so helplessness. Generally, when Wu Song approached in the morning, it was very likely that Leng Qingqiu was looking for him.
"Exactly."
Hearing Lu Yu's words, Wu Song scratched his head and said: "The president said that when you go over, just go directly to the eting room on the seventh floor to find her."
The eting room on the seventh floor?
Hearing Wu Song's words, Lu Yu asked with a hint of confusion: "What for at the eting room on the seventh floor?"
Hearing Wu Song's words, Lu Yu beca even more puzzled. He couldn't figure out what Leng Qingqiu was up to so early in the morning, calling him to the eting room.
"I don't know the specifics, but two foreigners were already standing at the entrance early this morning, looking quite imposing. When President Leng arrived, she took those two foreigners to the eting room on the seventh floor. I think it might be related to that, right?"
In response to Lu Yu's inquiry, Wu Song answered, frequently scratching his head and appearing rather deferential.
Foreigners?
Hearing Wu Song's words, Lu Yu's mind twitched slightly, and then he couldn't help but think of Andre from last night.
Thinking of this, Lu Yu shook his head, showing a slight smile.
It seems this Andre knows better than to put on airs; otherwise, Lu Yu would certainly make him understand what regret truly ans!
Thinking of this, Lu Yu patted Wu Song's shoulder, saying: "Alright, I got it. You get busy. I'll go to the eting room and take a look now."
Saying this, Lu Yu smiled slightly, and directly stepped forward, heading towards the elevator, appearing quite swift.
Even Lu Yu now wanted to see whether Andre had co to so realization after a night of consideration.
