Chapter 3: Heart Flutter

Zhang Qiyao glanced at the photo, her mood buoyant.

She was beautiful, and Qin Ruyan was beautiful too. They didn’t need any filters, their original photos would be the most stunning in the friend circle!

She opened WeChat, sent a copy of the photo to Qin Ruyan, then posted it on her Moments.

“Welcoming my bestie back from abroad, now I have someone to eat, drink, and shop with!”

After posting, she put down her phone, completely unaware of the turmoil her post would cause in the heart of her brother, who was on a business trip in Nancheng.

Nancheng, Lu Jingchen was in a suit and tie.

He was attending an economic forum conference today.

Lu Huaijin, his father, founded the Lu Group, which had grown rapidly in just twenty years, becoming a leading enterprise that controlled the economic lifeline of the nation.

Lu Jingchen took over the Lu Group three years ago, and in just three years, he had increased its performance fivefold. The profit reports of its subsidiaries were impressive every year.

Of course, he didn’t just focus on expanding the Lu Group.

As the head of a private enterprise, he wanted to help small and medium-sized businesses in the industry.

Money shouldn’t be hoarded by one company.

For the country to become wealthier, more businesses needed to step up.

At this moment, Lu Jingchen was sitting in the front row, in the middle, his legs crossed and his hands clasped.

He listened to the sharing experiences of representatives from various companies at the conference, occasionally tapping on his computer.

Suddenly, his phone vibrated.

He unlocked it, it was a short message.

A speeding ticket reminder from the traffic police?

He was here, not driving, how could his car be speeding?

He thought for a moment, it could only be his sister, who was not a good driver, who had secretly taken his car again.

He would have to lock the garage next time.

He pinched his brow, clicked on WeChat.

He scrolled down.

He hadn’t saved her contact, so he scrolled for a while before finding Zhang Qiyao’s WeChat.

He opened WeChat and saw a new post on his friend’s circle, but he didn’t intend to click on it.

His sister’s friend circle was all about food, nothing but food. There was no other nutritious content.

But out of the corner of his eye, he saw a familiar figure.

He tightened his grip on his phone.

He clicked on Zhang Qiyao’s friend circle.

It was three photos, he stared at the other person in the picture, and zoomed in on the photo.

The next second, his eyes were full of shock.

He closed his eyes, turned off his phone, and calmed himself down. The meeting wasn’t over yet, he couldn’t leave now.

But he couldn’t hear the rest of the speech clearly.

Chen Zhong was Lu Jingchen’s special assistant. To be in this position, besides his own strong abilities, it was even more important to be able to read people and understand the boss’s thoughts.

When he noticed Lu Jingchen’s unusual behavior and his distraction, he immediately pressed the record button on his recorder.

Two hours later, the meeting ended. Many business owners came up to him to greet him. Normally, Lu Jingchen would be happy to exchange some insights with them.

But today, he didn’t want to. He needed to go back to Beijing immediately to verify something.

He furrowed his brow, and Chen Zhong stepped forward in time.

“Excuse me everyone, Preisedent Lu has had a lot of meetings recently. He came here last night and hasn’t had any rest.”

Chen Zhong was being polite. Based on Lu’s status, they could have just turned around and left, and no one would dare say anything.

But since Lu Jingchen came, he came with good decisions.

Everyone was also tactful and said it was okay, after all, the CEO of such a large company was indeed busy.

Lu Jingchen nodded.

“I apologize everyone, I have to leave.”

As he walked out, he instructed Chen Zhong.

“Buy the earliest flight back to Beijing.”
