Chapter 437: Unexpected

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

A few days later, after Lu Ming finished dealing with the matters at hand, he drove to the most famous teahouse in the capital. Apart from the unique taste of its tea, this place was very exclusive, so many high-ranking officials and eminent people liked to come here to discuss things. He opened the door of the third private room on the fourth floor familiarly, and a fragrance instantly assaulted his nose!

When he saw a tall person and another thin person, he smiled and raised his hand to greet them. “Chief Zhao, Chief Chen, good afternoon. This is our first time meeting, right? As expected, the two of you are as dignified and imposing as I imagined. I wonder if the pastries here are to your liking?”

When they heard this familiar yet unfamiliar voice, the two of them were shocked at first. Then they looked astonished. Wasn’t it the Tang family’s head who asked us out? Why is it Lu Ming who came?! Suddenly, they tacitly thought—Lu Ming is Tang Mingkun’s godson. It seems like it’s possible for him to use his godfather’s name to ask us out!

Immediately after, they subconsciously wanted to escape quickly. However, before they could leave their seats, Lu Ming sat opposite them and said, “Why? Are you surprised to see me? I thought you would be able to guess it. Godfather has been busy improving his chess skills recently and doesn’t care about anything else.

But I specially came from Shaping for the appointment. Are you sure you want to leave without talking?”

He’s actually focused on improving his chess skills?!

Chief Zhao and Chen Jianxin looked at each other. How could they possibly know about this?! They could not be sure if Lu Ming was playing with them. However, Lu Ming had already said so much. If they still didn’t know how to give him face, it would probably be bad for their reputation.

Thus, they had no choice but to give up on the idea of leaving.

Chen Jianxin forced a smile and said, “CEO Lu, what are you saying? The capital is our territory after all. Everyone who comes is a guest. Wouldn’t it be our fault for not entertaining you well if we leave first as the hosts? We were just a little nervous just now.”

Nervous?

If word got out, it would be a joke. Why would the two high-ranking chiefs of the Drug Administration be afraid of a young man in his early 20s? Wasn’t it because they subconsciously wanted to escape? If not for Lu Ming’s quick response just now, these two people would have found an excuse to run away.

However, he was very considerate and did not pursue the matter. He said, “Do you guys like the afternoon tea here?”

“Of course I do.”

Chief Zhao nodded slightly.

Could they say that they didn’t like it? The other party had set the venue at Baohua Restaurant right from the start, which made it difficult for them not to think that the other party had deliberately investigated them. This was because they both liked to come here for a few drinks in private. Whether it was the quality of the tea leaves or the exquisite technique of brewing tea, it was unforgettable.

If not for the fact that they couldn’t poach the tea master, otherwise, they would have hired him.

Moreover, due to recent work matters, it had been a long time since they came here to relax. If it was Tang Mingkun, they would probably make a favorable impression on him. However, the reality was the opposite. The nightmare that they feared had finally come true!

This was great. The originally fragrant tea was now very difficult to swallow. They had completely lost their appetite!

Chen Jianxin asked, “Then why did Chairman Lu go through so much trouble to ask us out? If it was just me, I might not be able to confirm it. But since you brought Chief Zhao along, I think there’s only one possibility left, right?”

This Place No. 1’s review progress!

This was also what gave the two of them the greatest headache. They had already used all the excuses they could, but Lu Ming did not seem to believe them at all and insisted on getting to the bottom of it. This made them feel as if they were being questioned by a teacher in class when they were young. Even their actions were awkward.

If only someone had called them at this time, they would have an excuse to sneak away.

Unfortunately, no matter how they prayed, it was useless. The private room was still quiet. Only the sound of tea being poured could be heard clearly. Seeing this, Lu Ming took a sip of tea and said, “The taste is indeed not bad. No wonder so many people like this place. Relax, don’t be so nervous.

Those who don’t know might think I kidnapped you.”

There was obvious teasing in his tone. “I know that you don’t want to see me very much, but the matter doesn’t allow me to delay any longer, so please forgive me. Moreover, it’s not like I haven’t gone through legitimate channels, but none of you answered my call. I had no choice but to do this.

I just want to ask a few questions today. If you’re unwilling to answer, I won’t force you. I promise that as long as I get the answers I want, I’ll let you go immediately. After all, I’m not a demon.”

As soon as he finished speaking, his smile looked even more like a demon’s! Which demon would admit that he was a demon?! It seemed that if they wanted to walk out of this private room today, they would lose half their lives. They could not imagine what they would encounter later. Before leaving, they should have investigated what Tang Mingkun was doing!

If they had known earlier, they might have avoided this big crisis.

If Lu Ming could hear their thoughts, he would definitely break their delusions. This meeting was inevitable. Even if they had something on at the last minute and couldn’t come, he would find an opportunity to ask them out again!

Chief Zhao glanced at one of the unlucky people who had yet to come back to his senses. After coughing a few times, he said, “That depends on what questions Mr. Lu asks. We can’t casually disclose confidential information. Moreover, even if you continue to pester us, I don’t think there will be a good outcome.”

“I’m not interested in your department’s secrets. If I’m not wrong, Fang Tiancheng asked you to block our drug review. As for the fact that the Xingwei Preventive Medicine was approved in a short time, I think it has something to do with him. Let me think. He must have taken money from those people?”

Lu Ming leaned back in his chair in an extremely relaxed manner. He seemed to be suppressing the two people opposite them! Those who didn’t know better would think that he was their boss! The latter didn’t answer such a sharp question. Instead, the air became thinner and thinner as time passed, making them feel a little breathless.

“No, Mr. Lu, I’ve said it on the phone. We represent the official position. The official position doesn’t allow any deception, and it’s even more impossible for Mr. Fang to take bribes! If it’s really as you say, then please show evidence. Otherwise, I think the boss of Lu Ming Corporation will only be slandering others for no reason.”

Chen Jianxin heaved a sigh of relief.
