Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

The hotel was indeed very noisy, with tables filling the s.p.a.ce, and many people engaged in conversations. This was a common scene. A few wealthy young men sat on the side, accompanied by beautiful women. There were also a few stacks of cash on the table.

These were props for the show, a chance to display social skills and connections.

If Lu An wanted his company to enter the domestic market, he still had to see if these tyc.o.o.ns would give him a face.

This was also the reason why he did not like the domestic market. It was a roundabout way of doing things. Most of the time, he did not do much and only focused on building relations.h.i.+ps.

But such was the world, he had to play along.

Lu An sat in his seat, lit a cigarette, and pondered how he had to make a trip tonight, as he had promised earlier.

All!

A scream shattered the atmosphere.

What kind of person are you? Taking advantage and acting all high and mighty? Pretending to be superior here? A chubby middle-aged man slapped the girls face.

Lu An stood up, and addressing a fellow attendee, he asked, Whats going on?

Well, what else? This woman is serving drinks and wont let him touch her, acting like this.

Lu An chuckled and approached the man.

The man raised his hand to slap again, but Lu An caught his wrist.

Its not a big deal. Why resort to violence?

The man turned around and saw Lu An with a cigarette in his mouth. He didnt seem to be a good person.

The situation eased a bit. The girl sought refuge behind Lu An.

Do you know who I am? The man sneered. Is this insignificant girl worth ruining my mood for?

What do you mean by insignificant? Were all human. Just because you have some money, you think youre superior?

You! The man was silenced by Lu Ans words, and many people around chuckled at him.

Lu An, whats your point? We have a partners.h.i.+p. Are you thinking of ending it?

Lu An was unaffected. He said calmly, Cooperation is one thing, this situation is another. If my partners character is limited to this, Id rather not have it.

Lu Ans words were casual. He had plenty of money, so the partners.h.i.+p was optional.

You! Fine, you said it. Now its impossible for you to enter the domestic market!

As he finished, the man turned and left. No one in the hotel dared to speak.

Lu An didnt bother to stop him. He didnt say anything. He let him leave and took a drag on his cigarette. Smoke filled the air, and people nearby distanced themselves. No one wanted to mess with the tyc.o.o.n Lu An had just offended.

The girl slowly stood, tidied her disheveled clothes, and approached Lu An.

Mr. Lu, thank you.

Lu An simply nodded. He wasnt one to meddle, but he couldnt stand what the man did.

They were all people earning a living. Who were they to claim superiority?

His friend Qin Yu approached. He had witnessed Lu Ans dispute with the man.

How did it escalate to this?

Lu An seemed indifferent. He said, I just didnt like it. I have something to attend to now, so Ill leave.

After a moments thought, Qin Yu understood it was for the sake of Lu Ans wife, so he didnt stop him.

Alright, 111 arrange a car for you.

The car drove out of the underground parking lot. Because they could tell that it was Lu Ans car, no one did not stop it along the way.

Just then, a figure appeared and halted his car.

Lu An lowered the window and looked at the person.

It was the girl he had helped earlier.

The girl seemed to have mustered up a great deal of courage to stop Lu Ans car. She unb.u.t.toned her s.h.i.+rt, revealing her fair neck, looking fragrant and soft.

Is there anything else? Lu An showed no expression, gazing at the girl.

When the girl saw Lu An roll down the window, a hint of excitement appeared in her eyes. Lu An saw all of this.

I wanted to thank you, Mr. Lu, for helping me earlier.

Lu An nodded, and the girl still didnt move away. Lu An raised an eyebrow and said calmly, Is there anything else?

The girl twisted her fingers nervously and stammered, Mr. Lu, would you like me to accompany you tonight?

In an instant, Lu Ans gaze sharpened. He looked at the girl, his eyes like a keen blade, devoid of any extra expression.

Initially, he had no ulterior motives for helping the girl. He merely looked down on the mans behavior..
