Black Lotus

Tang Lunxuan waited in the private room for a long time, but no one came. Feeling a little annoyed that Gu Yansheng was playing with him, he was about to get up and leave.

Suddenly a man opened the door and stepped inside. The person nodded toward him and said, “Hello, Mr. Tang. Sorry for waiting and nice to meet you. I am Secretary Xiao Li from the Gu Family Corporation. Mr. Zhou is waiting for you upstairs to discuss the contract.”

“Mr. Zhou? Isn’t the president of the company Mr. Gu?” And there’s a contact? I thought it’s just discussing Tang Shuo’s problems.

“Oh no, Mr. Zhou is not the president of the company; he is vice president Zhou Yuanfeng of our branch.”

“Zhou Yuanfeng?” Tang Lunxuan seemed to have heard of this name before. Zhou Yuanfeng was a good friend of Gu Yansheng, and he played a major role in the Gu Family Corp.

“Yes, please follow me.”

Tang Lunxuan followed Xiao Li to a room at the very end of a long hallway. Xiao Li nodded and then stepped away.

Although he was a little bit confused, he still walked in. As soon as he entered, he saw a man standing in front of the huge French windows. His legs looked long and slim in the black suit. While looking out the window, the person also had a glass of wine in his hand.

“Hello, Mr. Zhou, I am Tang Lunxuan, the president of Qiyue Group. Glad to meet you here. I am honored to be able to cooperate with your company.”

The person standing in front of him did not respond but only shook the glass and took a sip of the red wine, without turning around.

Tang Lunxuan felt that the other party was trying to show authority over him, so he gently pushed up his glasses and walked forward, asking, “Mr. Zhou?”

“Mr. Tang is a smart person. I don’t think that you will think our meeting here is just about a contract, right?”

This voice… 

The person standing beside the windows turned back slowly. Looking at the familiar face in front of him, Zhou Yuanfeng placed the wine goblet down in surprise. Both of them were taken back as their eyes met.

“It’s you?!”

“How come it is you…”

Tang Lunxuan did not expect that the person who invited him was the one who broke his glasses at Gu Yansheng’s birthday banquet. Now remembering how he aggressively stepped on this person’s foot the other day, he felt quite embraced.

“Uhh… yeah. What a coincidence. I didn’t expect that Mr. Zhou would be here in advance,” Tang Lunxuan wanted to pretend that he didn’t know the other person. After a long time, of waiting, this was all he could think of to say.

Zhou Yuanfeng walked to the sofa and sat down, raising his eyes to look at the person with a slightly embarrassed expression and said slowly, “What? Do you want to pretend that you don’t know me? I never thought that the CEO of the Qiyue Group would be such a coward that steps on other’s feet and leaves.”

“I don’t understand. I thought you were not working under Gu Yansheng’s branch. Why is it you who requested to meet me instead of Gu Yansheng?” Tang Lunxuan also walked to the sofa and sat down. His expression returned to his usual politeness.

“Do you think if he is here, he would still be sitting around and talking to you peacefully like this?”

“Good point. Then may I ask what’s your purpose for inviting me here if it isn’t for business?”

“Go back and tell your younger brother to stay as far away from Wen Niannan as possible,” The cold voice was filled with threat.

Sure enough, it is still for this problem. Tang Lunxuan didn’t support Tang Shuo’s decision either, but after seeing how much his brother loved Wen Niannan, he didn’t stop his brother further.

Only after accidentally hearing Shen Luoan’s words last time at the banquet did he truly found out what was going on. Now that he saw the viral video online, he could somewhat understand Wen Niannan’s hardships throughout these years.

“Gu Yansheng does not cherish the person, my brother will. I don’t think what my brother has done is wrong. He will love Mr. Wen with all his heart and protect him with all his might.”
