Chapter 158 New York
Chapter 158 New York
Because Lu Shiyan had already picked up the phone.
It was Xu Anwan calling.
After Xu Anwan became pregnant, all her attention was on the child.
He didn't follow Lu Shiyan as closely as before.
However, if the two have not been in contact for a long time, Xu Anwan will still pretend to make a phone call to test the waters.
"Shi Yan." Xu Anwan's gentle voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Is there something?" Lu Shiyan's attitude seemed much colder.
"No. You just haven't been home these past two days. Are you on a business trip?" Xu Anwan asked. "I have a 12-week prenatal checkup tomorrow, and then I can announce the news to the public. I want you to accompany me."
Xu Anwan expressed his thoughts truthfully.
Xu Anwan is vain, and also enjoys having Lu Shiyan by her side and the envious looks from others.
After all, this is the man at the top of the Haicheng pyramid, and now he belongs to her alone.
"Let Xu Cheng go with you." Lu Shiyan said calmly, "I've been quite busy lately. As for making this public, let's hold off. I don't want Lu's to be in the headlines again. After all, Lu's company is trying to secure the Zhou family's contract. The Zhou family doesn't like to be high-profile."
Lu Shiyan refused directly.
Xu Anwan felt a little embarrassed. She didn't expect Lu Shiyan to refuse so completely.
Even Xu Anwan has made an appointment with reporters to wait outside the hospital tomorrow, so that she can show off her love.
But since Lu Shiyan had spoken, Xu Anwan didn't dare to say much. She was still shy about talking to Lu Shiyan.
"Then you go ahead and do your work. I'll let my aunt accompany me, and there's no need for Xu Cheng to follow." Xu Anwan was considerate and generous.
Lu Shiyan hummed.
Xu Anwan couldn't help but said, "When will you come back? The baby and I miss you."
"In a few days." Lu Shiyan's tone became colder.
……
Nan Sheng was sitting in the passenger seat and had no intention of eavesdropping on what Lu Shiyan said on the phone.
Plus, Lu Shiyan was wearing headphones, so Nan Sheng couldn't hear it either.
But from Lu Shiyan's attitude, Nan Sheng didn't know why, she intuitively thought that this was a woman.
Nan Sheng was quiet for a moment, and a confusing picture flashed through her mind.
But she missed the point.
Even when Nan Sheng calmed down, her mind was unexpectedly frozen with the image of the woman she saw that day.
Nan Sheng frowned slightly.
Lu Shiyan had already hung up the phone, started the engine, and looked at Nan Sheng: "It's a call from the company. I might be busy next time, so I can't stay with you like this."
"Okay." Nan Sheng was eager to do so.
"Do you really wish I wasn't here?" Lu Shiyan asked Nan Sheng indifferently.
"Ah... I just think that you should work hard. If you don't set a good example as a boss, how can you expect your employees to be convinced?" Nan Sheng said with certainty without changing his expression.
"They don't dare." Lu Shiyan told the truth.
Nan Sheng didn't want to continue discussing this topic with Lu Shiyan. "Aren't I going to study abroad? I've discovered that my English is still a little weak. I think I need to find a teacher to teach me spoken English at home."
"I'll arrange it." Lu Shiyan responded.
Nan Sheng didn't say anything.
This time, Lu Shiyan started the engine and drove towards the apartment.
Nan Sheng breathed a sigh of relief.
She quietly watched the receding tree shadows, without showing any emotion.
When the car stopped in the basement of the apartment, Lu Shiyan's phone vibrated again.
Nan Sheng ignored her and quickly jumped out of the car, with no intention of waiting for Lu Shiyan.
Lu Shiyan took a look but didn't stop him.
He picked up the phone, and Xu Cheng's voice came from the other end of the phone: "Mr. Lu, something happened in New York."
"What's going on?" Lu Shiyan's voice became deep.
"There was a design flaw in the property in New York, which has led to water leaks in the apartments. Many customers are involved and are now demanding compensation, causing a big uproar," Xu Cheng said quickly.
Many people are eyeing the Lu Group's luxury housing complex in New York.
There are partners waiting for Lu's results this time.
There are competitors waiting for Lu to have problems.
After all, in New York, it is difficult for outsiders to enter this market. Lu has invested more than one billion US dollars in this project and cannot afford any mistakes.
"And the apartments involved in the incident happened to be bought by the same person, using his company's name," Xu Cheng continued. "They've demanded $50 million in compensation and demanded you apologize in person. Otherwise, they'll make a big deal out of this. The media is already on the edge of their seats."
Fifty million is nothing to the Lu family, but if it is compensation, many butterfly effects will occur.
I'm afraid that by then it will really be out of control.
That's why Xu Cheng came to ask Lu Shiyan for instructions.
Xu Cheng has been in the business world for so long that he knows very well that the other party is not that simple.
"Who is it?" Lu Shiyan asked calmly.
"We can't find out anything at the moment, but we know it's a company registered in New York, ostensibly engaged in foreign trade." Xu Cheng responded, "The person in charge is also a little-known person. I don't think he's the one behind the scenes."
"Book a ticket, I'm going to New York." Lu Shiyan said directly.
"Yes." Xu Cheng responded.
This incident has made the entire team extremely anxious.
Because Lu Shiyan did not come, the other party completely refused any negotiations and insisted on taking legal action.
Taking legal action would be the worst option for the Lu family.
Even if they have the best team, once they enter the legal process, it will be announced to the public that there is something wrong with the Lu family.
Therefore, Lu Shiyan had to come forward.
When Xu Cheng was about to hang up, Lu Shiyan's voice suddenly came: "Also, book Nan Sheng's flight."
Xu Cheng was stunned: "Boss Lu, this..."
Lu Shiyan was too conspicuous with Nan Sheng by his side.
And there must be someone from the Xu family in the team. If it were to be known, it would be troublesome.
"Do as I say." Lu Shiyan remained strong.
"I understand." Xu Cheng hung up the phone.
Lu Shiyan looked at the hung up phone, sighed for a moment, and then got out of the car calmly.
Taking Nan Sheng with him was his selfish desire.
He wanted to keep an eye on Nan Sheng.
Nan Sheng is hiding from Lu Shiyan now, so he can't fail to notice it.
He was afraid something might happen if he left him alone in Haicheng.
To be precise, Lu Shiyan was afraid that Nan Sheng would leave silently. The events of the past six months had left Lu Shiyan with lingering fears.
As for the Xu family members in the team, Lu Shiyan didn't care at all.
Because he knew that Nan Sheng would never have the chance to come into contact with these people.
Lu Shiyan knew more clearly that Haicheng was full of people from the Xu and Lu families.
Only after leaving Haicheng could he hold Nan Sheng's hand openly.
His big lie will never be exposed.
But Lu Shiyan hid these thoughts very well.
Soon, Lu Shiyan calmed down and walked into the elevator calmly.
Nan Sheng has returned to the apartment.
