Chapter 145 - 145: Lord Had Taken a Fancy to Your Bracelet
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Shen Qian had barely settled back into his office when the secretary informed him of an incident.
“…I asked him if he had an appointment, which company he represented, and what his purpose or demands were. He refused to answer and kept insisting on one thing—asking for Shen Qian to come out and see him.”
It wasn’t “let me in”, but “ask Shen Qian to come out”. Seeing that he was well-dressed and imposing, Tan Yao promptly invited him into the conference room. As soon as Shen Qian returned, he reported the situation.
“Director Shen, what should we do about this?”
Daring to come and make a scene directly could either be due to a mental problem or extreme confidence. Handling these two situations would be entirely different, and Tan Yao’s quick decision to stabilize the situation was the wisest course of action.
“Is he in the conference room?”
“Yes.”
“Let’s go and see.”
Tan Yao followed behind, informing Shen Qian of the more specific situation: “…It’s roughly like this.”
Shen Qian asked, “His name?”
“He didn’t say, but he kept emphasizing his position.”
“Position?”
“Yes.” Tan Yao nodded, “He said he’s the seventh among his brothers and asked me to call him Seventh Lord.”
Shen Qian stopped in front of the conference room door.
Seventh Lord?
Lushen?
If he remembered correctly, there was no connection between them.
Shen Qian raised his hand to the door handle, and the next moment, the door opened with a sound. The man standing by the floor-to-ceiling window slowly turned around, revealing a smiling handsome face.
“Shen Qian?” He took the initiative.
“Seventh Lord, welcome. May 1 ask what brings you here?”
Lushen checked his watch and said, “I’ve been waiting here for a full forty minutes. You’re the first one to make me wait so long.”
“Seventh Lord’s visit was quite sudden, and you didn’t give any prior notice. I thought ignorance was excusable.”
Lushen’s smile faded slowly. “You’re quite good at finding excuses for yourself. Your will to live must be strong.”
The phrase “will to live” inherently carried a connotation of being in a weak position, which also implied that he could easily deal with him.
Shen Qian didn’t like taking cheap shots verbally, so he just smiled and let it slide, looking at him as if he was dealing with a child throwing a tantrum.
Lushen’s brow furrowed. Despite having the upper hand, the other party showed no signs of being the weaker party, which frustrated him.
“I heard you bought a bracelet at the Christie auction?”
Shen Qian raised an eyebrow. “Since the Seventh Lord already knows, why ask again?”
“I’m interested. Tell me, how much?” With a superior attitude, he asked straightforwardly.
“Sorry, I have no intention of selling.”
“Don’t be so hasty. 1’11 give you two days to think it over. I’m determined to get that bracelet.” With a self-assured statement, Lushen left.
He didn’t believe Shen Qian would dare to refuse!
Not to mention his relationship with Sixth Brother, just the weight of the Lushen family itself was enough to make him yield.
“Mr. Shen?” Tan Yao hesitated, “Who is this… Seventh Lord?”
Shen Qian’s voice remained steady. “He’s Quan Hanting’s buddy and the future heir of the Jingping Lu family.”
Tan Yao wiped his brow, relieved that he didn’t mistake this person for a lunatic and have the security guards escort him out. Otherwise…
The Sixth Lord was already an insurmountable mountain, and now there was the Jingping Lu family, an even more formidable force. Not to mention offending Shen Qian, even the Shen family had to avoid his edge.
“So, what’s your plan?”
Shen Qian watched Lushen’s departing figure, his gaze slightly cold. “No need to pay it any mind.”
As soon as Lushen got into the car, he couldn’t help but call Quan Hanting to report his success. “Sixth Brother, let me tell you, I’m almost certain about the bracelet. You won’t be able to kick me out of the villa!”
After a brief pause on the other end, Quan Hanting asked, “…Shen Qian agreed?”
“Haha! Would he dare not to?”
“Let’s talk after you have it in your hands.”
“Hello? Hello?! Why did you hang up so quickly….”
