Jiang Lan was greatly surprised, never imagining He Zhi Zhou would find a new job so quickly.
"Director He, you're really fast at job hunting," she said.
He Zhi Zhou said coldly, "Of course! Since Manager Jiang looked down on me, Director Meng saw my value. Manager Jiang, I just want to show you whose suggestion is better, mine or Lu Ming's. You don't believe me but choose to trust a live-in son-in-law. Heh, I will make you pay a painful price!"
The so-called painful price was to prove He Zhi Zhou right in front of Jiang Lan.
It had to be said, this stubborn old man had quite the temper.
Meng Guang Yu said, "Xiao Lan, thank you for bringing such an excellent employee like Director He to me. Don't worry, once I secure the Dragon Warlord project, I will definitely share a piece of the pie with you. After all, you are my dearly beloved wife, hahahaha."
He walked away laughing heartily, looking like an annoying scoundrel.
Jiang Lan felt extremely distressed.
After a moment.
Jiang Lan whispered, "Lu Ming, was it worth it for me to trust you this time?"
Lu Ming replied calmly, "When have I ever disappointed you?"
Mm!
Jiang Lan nodded affirmatively.
If you trust someone, use them; if you doubt them, don't. Since she chose to believe Lu Ming, there was no need for further doubt, just persistence.
At the same time, Lu Ming secretly watched Meng Guang Yu's retreating back, a surge of anger erupting within him.
Provocation was one thing, but harassment was another.
Lu Ming could counter He Zhi Zhou's defiance and provocation with strong business tactics, but he wouldn't harm He Zhi Zhou's life. However, Meng Guang Yu was different. His actions had touched upon Lu Ming's unyielding core.
The dragon's unyielding core, touch it and die!
Lu Ming had already crossed Meng Guang Yu's name off the book of life and death. This disgusting, fat middle-aged man would absolutely not see tomorrow's sun.
Time ticked by, and more and more people arrived.
Once everyone was present, the organizers arranged for the guests to be seated, and the investment promotion conference officially began.
Lu Ming sat with Jiang Lan.
Not far away sat the Jiang family's main branch, Jiang Meng Xin had also arrived.
For a large commercial project like this, although Jiang Meng Xin held no hope, she still wanted to participate. Even if she couldn't secure the project, meeting some business tycoons would be beneficial.
However, when Jiang Meng Xin saw Lu Ming and Jiang Lan, she was truly startled.
Given Xuan Rong's capacity, it was impossible for them to obtain this project.
What were they doing here?
Were they here to be a laughingstock?
Jiang Meng Xin did not go to greet them; she even deliberately avoided them, fearing she would be implicated.
However.
When Jiang Meng Xin saw Lu Ming and Jiang Lan sitting close together, her heart felt a pang of jealousy. Lu Ming was her fiancé, yet he was so close to her sister.
This made her very uncomfortable.
Dong!!!
With the sound of a gong, the investment promotion conference officially began.
The host went on stage and chattered incessantly, to which no one paid much attention. Then, the key figure of the conference was invited: the Five-Star General Asura!
Amidst thunderous applause, Asura slowly walked to the center of the stage.
He stood before the microphone and bowed with a smile.
"Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for taking time out of your busy schedules to attend this investment promotion conference. This investment promotion was personally planned by the Dragon Warlord and handed over to me to organize."
At this point, someone in the audience called out, "Is the Dragon Warlord attending?"
Asura smiled and replied, "The Dragon Warlord is present and is watching everyone right now. However, the War God will not make a personal appearance."
Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up.
"The War God is right here, watching us! Wow, this is incredible! I must perform exceptionally well!"
"Even if I don't get the project, I want to leave a very good impression on the War God."
"Dragon Warlord, I want to show him my beauty and alluring figure, to make him fall in love with me!"
People were fired up, eager to showcase their best selves to the War God.
Many young women straightened their backs, displaying their most attractive figures, hoping that if the War God took notice, their future would be boundless.
Asura watched, almost wanting to laugh.
He paused.
Asura continued, "Without further ado, let's officially begin this investment promotion conference. As everyone knows, there are only two requirements for this investment promotion: one billion, and a gift. The one billion is the same for everyone; therefore, whether you win the project depends on the gift you offer."
As expected, everyone had anticipated this.
Asura continued, "I will display all the gifts you have presented on stage, one by one. Whichever gift touches the War God's heart will win the bid. I must inform you in advance that only one company can win. Therefore, it all depends on how outstanding your gift is. Without further ado, let's officially begin the gift presentation!"
The moment of excitement had finally arrived.
Everyone rubbed their hands, eagerly awaiting their gifts to be brought onto the stage.
"The first gift is a key, from Hejiang Enterprises." A staff member placed a gleaming key on the table at the center of the stage.
A key?
What was it for?
Amidst the audience's curiosity, the CEO of Hejiang Enterprises walked onto the stage and said with a smile, "This key may seem simple, but it is not. It is the key to a villa! This villa is located at the foot of Mount Zijin and is worth over a hundred million! I hope the esteemed War God will like my offering."
Hearing this, the people below became restless.
What a joke!
The first gift was a villa worth over a hundred million?
Who could compete with that?
Asura smiled and nodded, making a 'please' gesture, and the CEO stepped off the stage.
Everyone was praising that CEO. However, Meng Guang Yu, the executive director of Menghai Group, chuckled coldly and said disdainfully, "What a fool, what kind of trash gift is he offering?"
Others were confused and asked, "A villa worth over a hundred million is trash?"
Meng Guang Yu replied, "The Dragon Warlord is as wealthy as a nation; would he lack money? Furthermore, given the War God's status, he would surely reside on Celestial Island! The villas there are worth hundreds of millions, even billions. How could his shabby villa compare?"
Upon hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement.
It made sense!
While the villa was valuable, the gap was too great compared to the villas on Celestial Island.
The War God would surely not be interested.
Those who had been praising the gift now cast contemptuous glances at that CEO, summing it up in two words: trash.
"Next, the gift from Changyun Group, a custom-made supercar worth over a hundred million!"
"Next, a special gift from Wenyuan Enterprise, a war song composed for the War God: 'I Sing for the War God'!!!"
"Next, precious medicinal herbs from the Yaoxia Guan, a thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum!"
...
Gift after gift was brought onto the stage. Each one was incredibly valuable, astonishing the onlookers and dazzling their eyes.
Everyone was curious, which of these precious gifts would the War God favor?
