Chapter 89 - Too Hefty of a Price?

Jiang Chong quickly made up some emergency to tell to the older director and expressed their most sincere apology before he quickly followed behind Lu JingYan.

Lights were on in this city, soaking the city in its own flourishing night lights.

The man in front was bulky and tall. His legs seemed even straighter and longer under the cold and dark dress pants.

He didn’t seem like he’d be swallowed up by the night but he had the pride and aura to rule over the lights from tens and thousands of houses.

It seemed like Lu JingYan was talking to someone over the phone.

With the wind blowing past him, Jiang Chong could only hear a word here and there.

“…. Okay… she….”

The call ended shortly afterward.

Jiang Chong caught up to Lu JingYan on his way to the parking lot.

“Boss Lu, do you need me to book ticket to City Z for you?” As he was walking quickly, Jiang Chong was panting a little bit and talked a little bit fast.

Lu JingYan said coldly, “No need. Let’s head back to the office.”

Jiang Chong was baffled but he acknowledged Lu JingYan anyway.

The chauffeur, waiting next to the Bentley, respectfully opened up the car door and Lu JingYan got into the right back seat.

He closed his eyes and leaned against the leather seat.

Even though he was napping, his back was still straight. His lips were shut tight and the corners of his mouth seemed pale and tired.

Jiang Chong looked at his boss from the rearview mirror quietly and finally let out a quiet sigh.

The black and aerodynamic car, cold and noble like its owner, drove through the flashing neon lights in the night.

The lights of the city travelled backward on both sides of them and finally stopped in front of the coldest and most magnificent office building in the center of the city.

The elevator quickly took them to the top floor of the building.

The spacious office was clean and neat and cold air came attacking their noses. There was no dusty smell in the air.

Mountainous stacks and stacks of documents were piled up on the desk.

A low humming of the computer could be heard inside the otherwise quiet room.

Reports after reports reflected in Lu JingYan’s pitch black eyes.

He was frowning.

Not too long after, 7 ~ 8 upper managements of the corporation in full suits walked inside, looking very solemn. They took their seats around the conference table inside the CEO’s office.

Most of these were middle-aged men in their 40s and 50s. Some of them already have white hair on their sides.

None of them, however, seemed disgruntled sitting in front of this young man. Quite the contrary, they looked to be very respectful.

Every since Boss Lu had taken over Oushi four years ago, the corporation that had been around for 100 years had reached its highest point.

Tens and thousands of employees in the organization and all of them were in awe of this CEO and nobody was jealous of him.

The tiredness that was observed in him while he was in the car was all gone.

Right now, he was exuding strong ferocity and pressure.

His look was cold but his words shocked everyone. “I want to ask you to analyze the possibility of terminating our partnership with Huanyu.”

There was a lot of information in his statement and decision behind it was very abrupt.

Even the very experienced upper management personnel changed color all of a sudden and looked at each other.

Jiang Chong, too, was startled.

Huanyu belonged to the Cheng’s and was Cheng Ye, Old Man Cheng’s, baby. The corporation was formed taking advantage of the reforming upsurge with the boost of the policy during that time period. One could imagine the status of this corporation.

It may not be one of its kind and did not measure up to a business empire such as Oushi. But Huanyu had been supplying Oushi with a sizeable amount of profit consistently.

Terminating their partnership would bring about sizeable rattling to a good portion of Huanyu Corporation’s estate.

But Oushi would suffer a sizeable loss at the same time.

If this was Boss Lu’s idea to punish Cheng Huan for stalking Miss Chi…

Was this too hefty of a price to pay?
