Bai Zhang could see that.
<i>Gu Mang was rather patient towards Lu Chengzhou and she listened to him sometimes. </i>
<i>In the past, no one could keep the ‘Little Grandmaster’ under control.</i>
<i>It’s just that the Gu family and Huo Zhi...</i>
<i>Never mind.</i>
Both Lu Chengzhou and his niece hade pretty psychotic skills.
Bai Zhang raised his ss and clinked Lu Chengzhou’s. Then, he said with a smile, “If there’s an opportunity, both our families should meet for a meal.”
Lu Chengzhou smiled as he took a sip from his drink. “Sure.”
...
In the study.
Gu Mang crossed her legs and snuggled on the sofa without proper posture. “Yu Zhongjing is synthesizing the drugs. We don’t know the results yet.”
They had not tested out how different the effects of the synthesized drugs were from its natural form.
Old Master Bai sighed. “I still can’t stop worrying about it. Leng Xuan is able to have such a high status in Jijing Ind because of her medical skills and all her advanced research. This time, we have fully offended her. In the future...”
If Leng Xuan refused to provide Gu Mang with their annual supply of medicine, the Elders’ Association would shift their focus to Gu Si and give up on Gu Mang...
Gu Mang had an attitude that said ‘I don’t give a damn, no one can threaten me.’ This gave Old Master Bai a headache.
This granddaughter of his was like a wolf. She was cold, arrogant, and unruly.
There were a few seconds of silence in the study.
Old Master Bai asked, “Does Little Lu know?”
Gu Mang was still unustomed to Lu Chengzhou being called Little Lu. She tapped on the table nonchntly. “I don’t know. Don’t tell him about it. I’m afraid that something big might happen.”
When Old Master Bai heard this, he was stunned for a moment. He asked, “Does he really have no idea?”
Gu Mang didn’t quite understand what he meant by that. She furrowed her cold eyebrows and looked up at him.
Old Master Bai said, “In the past few months, Red me has upied most of the territory on the ck market. They were very quick. The way they dealt with things was more ruthless than expected based on the rumors. They seemed to be using violence to assert themselves and they did not fear losses.”
A ‘no man’snd’ in every ce. Bad and good people were mixed together, and the various major forces were intertwined.
Such a ce existed in Jijing Ind too, despite it being a ce where the world’s good and dark forces were afraid of.
Lu Chengzhou overpowered various major forces in the ck market to control ces that even Jijing Ind had no control over. He was swift and ruthless.
If it weren’t for him and Red me, the Elders’ Association wouldn’t have been dealing with such a major headache.
Gu Mang narrowed her eyes slightly.
“I thought he did that for you,” Old Master Bai said. But he felt that it was unlikely, so he shook his head and continued, “Maybe I think too much. Before, Huo Zhi brought so many elites from Jijing Ind to cause problems in Red me’s territory. It might be possible that Red me is taking this opportunity to teach the Elders’ Association a lesson.”
The ck market was small. It posed no threat to the Elders’ Association.
But with a hidden danger like this on Jijing Ind, there was no way the Elders’ Association could rx.
Gu Mang’s exquisite eyes were droopy and there was a cold look deep in her eyes. No one knew what she was thinking.
...
Old Master Bai and Gu Mang came out from the study.
Lu Chengzhou and Bai Zhang were ying chess in the living room. When Lu Chengzhou saw Gu Mang’s figure from the corner of his eyes, he looked over.
Gu Mang walked towards him with her hands in her pockets. Lu Chengzhou dropped a piece on the chessboard with one hand and handed Gu Mang a ss of warm water with the other.
The girl removed her hands from her pocket and sat down next to Lu Chengzhou naturally.
Everyone’s eyes focused on the two of them for a few seconds.
They stayed at the Bai’s until about 9pm.
Lu Yī and Lu Qi’s car arrived at the Bai’s.
Gu Mang and Lu Chengzhou left with a bunch of presents that Old Master Bai and the others had given to them.
...
In the car on the way back to the hotel.
Gu Mang was replying to some questions in Xingmuy International Corporation’s project group when Lu Chengzhou suddenly fell on her shoulder.
His breath tickled her neck and she felt as if something was scalding her neck. His breath was so warm that it was ticklish. He smelled faintly of alcohol.
She had never seen Lu Chengzhou like this before.
Gu Mang looked down at him and said in a rather calm tone, “How much did you drink?”
“Not a lot.” His voice was a little nasally and he soundedzy, and tired. He rested his hand on her shoulder. “I’m a little tired. Let me lean on you for a while.”
Gu Mang lifted an eyebrow at that.
She could see that Grandpa and Uncle were in a good mood today because they had dragged Lu Chengzhou along for a drink.
When she was in the study, Lu Chengzhou must have continued drinking quite a bit with her uncle.
Gu Mang only wrote half of her instructions and she sent it into the project group chat. Then, she sent another text before throwing her phone to the side. [I’m busy at the moment.]
The people in the group sent her a question mark one after another.
They were all screaming, [Big boss, at least finish your sentences before leaving! You can’t just leave us hanging like that] in their head but no one dared to express it in the group.
When Lu Chengzhou saw that Gu Mang had put down her phone, heughed softly and his chest shook a little.
He spoke into her ear with a flirtatious tone, “You’re making me feel like a demon who is ruining the country. While you’re dealing with important political issues, I’m seducing you.”
Gu Mang was silent.
Lu Chengzhou was stillughing. “I actually feel quite a sense of achievement.”
Gu Mang looked at him andughed too. Her eyes looked wicked and arrogant. “Young Master Lu, you are getting more seductive than ever. It’s like you no longer have any integrity.”
“Thanks for thepliment, my girlfriend.” Lu Chengzhou did not find it shameful at all.
Gu Mang was silent.
