Black Lotus

Gu Family Corporation Building.

Tang Lunxuan stood at the elevator door, waiting for the elevator to come down. He lightly pushed up his glasses, and his eyes were filled with confusion. 

Yesterday he got a call from Zhou Yuanfeng saying that Mrs. Lu wanted to meet him, but only yesterday did Zhou Yuanfeng hand him the documents, so why do they have to meet again? Looks like it must be something aside from business matters.

Ding…

The elevator door opened, and just as Tang Lunxuan was about to enter, he saw that there was another person in there already.

“Zhou Yuanfeng? How come you’re here?” Just seeing this person made his head hurt, and he pushed his glasses again.

Zhou Yuanfeng glanced at him coldly and said, “Is it a surprise that I’m here? Come in, Mrs. Lu has been waiting for you in her office.”

“Sorry, it’s the traffic.”

Tang Lunxuan went into the elevator, and as the door closed, the person behind him took a step closer.

“What are you doing?”

Zhou Yuanfeng crossed his hand in front of his chest and said, “New glasses? Hm, quite nice.”

“What kind of person are you? Just then you are…”

“That’s for work. But now, there’s no one else.”

Tang Lunxuan took a step away and looked at him in alert, “Does Mrs. Lu want to meet me for something regarding the contract?”

Hearing this, Zhou Yuanfeng’s lazy attitude took a sharp turn, and his eyes became colder, “You’ll know soon, but… looks like you didn’t deliver my warning properly last time to Tang Shuo.”

Tang Lunxuan already could guess what he would be dealing with, but he still pretended to not understand, “Warning? What do you mean by that?”

“Tang Shuo and Mr. Gu got into a fight, and Mr. Gu was hurt badly. As for why… Mr. Tang, you are a smart person, you should know, right?”

Tang Lunxuan was stunned upon hearing about the fight, and he remembered that when he called his brother last night, his brother was a little different. 

Ding… The elevator door opened, Zhou Yuanfeng took a deep glance at the person behind him and exited, followed by Tang Lunxuan.

Zhou Yuanfeng gently knocked on a door, and a female voice came from inside.

“Come in.”

Zhou Yuanfeng went in and nodded respectfully, “Mrs. Lu, Qiyue Group’s representative is here.”

Lu Yun closed the documents in her hand and glanced at the person behind Zhou Yuanfeng. Her eyes flashed. 

Tang Lunxuan walked over and politely reached out his hand with a smile, “Hello, Mrs. Lu. It’s my pleasure to meet you. I often hear about you from my father, and I’m pleased to work with you in the future.”

Lu Yun looked at the hand silently and went back to flipping through the contracts on her desk.

Tang Lunxuan felt a little awkward and took his hand back.

“Mr. Tang, right? I like the way you talked. I hope that our cooperation will go great.”

Tang Lunxuan smiled politely, and said, “Yes, I hope so as well.”

Lu Yun didn’t speak anymore, just signaling Zhou Yuanfeng to fetch some more documents for her and started reading, didn’t invite Tang Lunxuan to sit nor to leave.

Zhou Yuanfeng handed the documents to Lu Yun while taking a glance at the frowning person standing there.

Tang Lunxuan knew that this was purposefully belittling him, but Mrs. Lu was both an elder as well as a powerful person, someone that the Qiyue Group couldn’t provoke.

After a long while, still, no one talked in the office. Tang Lunxuan sighed lightly and said, “What is it that Mrs. Lu wants me here? Is it for business or private matters? “

“Looks like Mr. Tang does have an idea of why you are called upon.”

Lu Yun’s fingers tapped on the desk and looked at the person, “Mr. Tang, do you know that your brother got into a fight with Gu Yansheng on the streets yesterday?”

Tang Lunxuan paused a little.

“Is it that Mr. Gu was hurt? Is it severe?”

“Not to mention the body, there were enough bruises on his face.”

Tang Lunxuan frowned as he heard this and said apologetically, “Mrs. Lu, I am sorry for what Tang Shuo had done. I hope that you can forgive him for what he has done.”

“What are you so worried about? I haven’t even said why they got into a fight yet. Or have you already guessed why? Then tell me why Tang Shuo and Gu Yansheng got into this fight.”

Lu Yun’s eyes became harsher, looking straight at the person.

“Yesterday afternoon, Tang Shuo suddenly came down from the same car with Nian Nian, holding hands. Gu Yansheng fought because he saw that.”

Lu Yun raised her eyebrows and threw a paper bag onto the table.

“Take a look at it yourself.”

Tang Lunxuan went over and flipped through the pictures, and he frowned even further. 

“This is your brother’s car, right?”

“Yes.” Tang Lunxuan could tell that this SUV was the one he gave Tang Shuo as a birthday gift.

“I don’t think this is the first time I got pictures handed to me of Tang Shuo and Nian Nian together. Last time, which you must have known, it got pretty big. Don’t you think that Tang Shuo is going a little too far?”

Tang Lunxuan still acted calm, but his eyes were in a daze.

“Yes, it is Tang Shuo’s fault for fighting this time. I’ll discipline him when I get back.”

“Mr. Tang is good at avoiding the main idea here. Am I talking about the fight right now? If Mr. Tang continues to act like a fool here, I’m doubting if Qiyue Group has the right to continue our cooperation. I might have to reconsider the contract.”

Lu Yun’s tone became colder, and her voice became sharper.
