Chapter 18
Zhao Ruoshuang looked at everyone and said, “Most of the companies we invested in this time are new. Try your best to be patient when communicating with the other party and let them state their actual requests.”
“Got it!”
The executives nodded and began to organize the documents on the table.
“Alright, everyone, return to your posts and work.”
Seeing that no one had any questions, the meeting ended.
Everyone left the meeting room one after another.
Ye Bei stared blankly at Zhao Ruoshuang’s departing figure.
“What are you looking at? Your soul will be stolen away later.”
Luo Chen waved his hand in front of Ye Bei’s eyes.
“Nothing.”
Facing Luo Chen, Ye Bei’s attitude returned to being cold.
The two of them also left the conference room.
Because it was his first day on the job, other than familiarizing himself with the environment, he had nothing else to do.
Hence, Luo Chen planned to ask Shen Shuyi out for a meal later.
After the incident with the real estate company, Shen Shuyi had always wanted to treat him to a meal, but he had rejected her with various reasons.
Because he was busy familiarizing himself with the Taiyi Divine Needle technique at that time, he had no time. Now, he finally had some time today.
As soon as the two of them left the meeting room, a figure walked over.
“Young Master Luo, I heard that you have a bet with President Zhao?”
Zheng Zeqiang had been waiting for Luo Chen outside the conference room.
He also heard the discussion in the room.
Luo Chen nodded. “Yes, what’s wrong?”
“Young Master Luo, that’s a billion yuan. Why didn’t you consider it carefully?”
Zheng Zeqiang sighed.
“There’s nothing to consider. If I hadn’t agreed at that time, Ye Bei would have lost face.”
After saying that, Luo Chen glanced at Ye Bei.
Behind him, Ye Bei was stunned when he heard this.
Could it be that Luo Chen had agreed to this bet not because he was arrogant, but to give him face?
He never expected Luo Chen to be so loyal even though they had just met!
Ye Bei suddenly couldn’t bear to trick Luo Chen anymore.
No! I can’t be soft-hearted!
Even if Luo Chen did not have any bad intentions, his parents had indeed died because of the Luo Family.
He had to continue taking revenge!
After calming down, the guilt in Ye Bei’s heart lessened by more than half.
Zheng Zeqiang could not say anything. After all, the bet had already been established. The entire company would probably know about this soon.
“Manager Zheng, go ahead. I’ll come to the company tomorrow.”
After Luo Chen patted Zheng Zeqiang’s shoulder, he took the elevator to the first floor with Ye Bei.
As they walked out of the company, the two of them did not notice a pair of eyes watching them from behind the flower bed at the entrance of the company.
“Ye Bei!?”
“Why is he hanging out with Luo Chen?”
Lin Tian, who was dressed in black, was in disbelief.
After learning that Ye Bei had returned from overseas, he immediately began to search for his location.
After learning that Ye Bei was at the Luo Corporation’s Strategic Investment Company, Lin Tian came looking for him.
The purpose of his visit this time was to rope Ye Bei in to deal with Luo Chen with him.
However, as soon as Lin Tian arrived, he saw Ye Bei and Luo Chen chatting and laughing together.
Moreover, when they arrived next to the Ferrari, Ye Bei even acted as the driver!
Lin Tian never expected Ye Bei, who was known as the Asura, to drive for someone!
He and Ye Bei were old friends.
They both worked for the Dragon Emperor in the past and were part of the Five Tiger Generals.
Other than the other three, the two of them were Dragon King Lin Tian and Asura Ye Bei.
This was also the reason why Lin Tian wanted to ask Ye Bei for help.
This was because the two of them were comrades previously and had once killed countless enemies together!
“No, I have to ask Ye Bei personally what’s going on.”
Lin Tian’s expression was extremely serious.
...
He knew very well how terrifying Ye Bei was.
If such a person stood opposite him, it would definitely be a huge problem.
It was fine if it was a misunderstanding, but if it wasn’t, he had to strike first and eliminate Ye Bei!
At this moment, the Ferrari had already started. Lin Tian hurriedly went to the roadside to hail a taxi and followed.
On the way, Ye Bei asked, “Where are we going?”
Luo Chen looked at his phone and said, “Go to June Residence.”
He had just sent a message to Shen Shuyi.
This place was chosen by Shen Shuyi. Previously, she had heard from Er Hu that Luo Chen liked to eat Sichuan cuisine, and June Residence was famous for making Sichuan cuisine.
Twenty minutes later, the car stopped at the entrance of the restaurant.
After the two of them walked in, Lin Tian followed quietly.
With his tracking technique, he would not be discovered so easily.
...
When he arrived at the restaurant, Lin Tian was completely dumbfounded.
He saw Shen Shuyi and Luo Chen sitting together to eat. The two of them even clinked glasses from time to time.
What was worse was that Shen Shuyi did not refuse the food that Luo Chen picked up with his chopsticks!
As for Ye Bei, he stood at the back like a bodyguard.
“This b*tch! She said she was going to the company, but she actually secretly went on a date with Luo Chen!”
Lin Tian gritted his teeth.
This made him feel betrayed.
However, Shen Shuyi had said that because she could not be bothered with him and casually mentioned a place.
“And this Ye Bei! The dignified Asura is actually willing to become a bodyguard for money!”
Lin Tian now felt that everyone in this world was against him!
Seeing how harmonious Luo Chen and Shen Shuyi were, Lin Tian’s killing intent rose again.
He walked to the kitchen and poisoned the dishes carried by the waiter without anyone noticing.
This poison would have a special fragrance that would be very well hidden in the vegetables.
Lin Tian watched as the waiter placed the dishes on Luo Chen’s table, feeling the pleasure of revenge.
He had the antidote with him and was not afraid that something would happen to Shen Shuyi.
“Shuyi, why are all the dishes today my favorite?”
Luo Chen looked at the spicy squid that had just been served and asked with a smile.
Shen Shuyi replied shyly, “I ordered it casually. Who knows what you like to eat?”
“Hahahaha, try this squid while it’s hot. It won’t taste good when it’s cold.”
After saying that, Luo Chen picked up a piece of squid.
Behind him, Ye Bei smelled something wrong.
Why was the smell of this squid so familiar?
And the color was also slightly yellow. Wasn’t this the characteristic of the “half-day powder”?
When Ye Bei realized that there was something wrong with the squid, he hesitated for a moment. Then, before Luo Chen could pick up any food, he slapped the entire plate to the ground!
Clack!
The plate was shattered on the ground, and the food could no longer be eaten.
Luo Chen should die, but not now.
Moreover, even if Luo Chen’s death had nothing to do with him, the Luo Family would still notice him.
It would then be very difficult to infiltrate the Luo Family in the future.
Therefore, after weighing the pros and cons, Ye Bei could only save him. Otherwise, his plan would be ruined.
“Ye Bei, what are you doing?”
Luo Chen asked in confusion.
“There are flies in this dish. Didn’t you see them?”
Ye Bei said pretentiously.
When Shen Shuyi, who was opposite her, heard this, she immediately felt a little disgusted and decided to call the manager over.
Seeing this, Luo Chen was no longer in the mood to eat. He asked Ye Bei to go downstairs and start the car first. He would go downstairs later.
When Lin Tian saw this scene from the corner of the dining room, he stared fixedly at Ye Bei. “The Dragon Emperor taught you all your skills, but you actually became Luo Chen’s dog! I won’t let you off!”
