Chapter 10: Shield (1)

Before Shi Tu and Alice arrived at the front office to confirm the reservation, a man in his late 40s gets close to them, even though he looked younger like someone in the late 30s.

" Chairman Alice, you came a little early 15 min before the time."

Alice looked at him and immediately knew he was Lin Chengu.

Alice smiled politely and said, "Chairman Lin didn't meet for a while. I am glad that you saved some of your time for us."

Lin Chengu looked at Alice and then looked at the silent Shi Tu and said carefully.

"Oh, no, not at all. It's me who should feel proud."

Alice noticed Lin Chengu's looks so she pointed to Shi Tu and said, "Chairman Lin, introduces you to Young Master Shi Tu, owner of Shi Economic Group."

"Oh, then, it's Young Master Shi. l heard a lot about you and I wanted to meet you. Today, my wish is fulfilled, and I must say that you exceed my expectations a lot."

Lin Chengu spoke enthusiastically while reaching out to shake hands with Shi Tu, although he didn't dare try to shake hands with Alice because he knew that she would reject him, which would harm his reputation, but he didn't think that Shi Tu would refuse him either.

Shi Tu smiled lightly, ignoring Lin Chengu's outstretched hand.

"Chairman Lin is really wise, but this place is not good for talking. We have booked the royal suite so should we discuss there?"

Lin Chengu smiled bitterly, pulled his hand embarrassedly, and said, '' Of course.''

Lin Chengu realized that Shi Tu was more arrogant than he thought even his follower refused to shake his hand, so what if he accepts to shake his hand? Doesn't that mean that he is inferior to Alice?

After confirming the reservation, all three headed towards the royal suite.

The royal suite was luxurious on the highest standards and deserves to be the highest suite.

Of course, its cost is not low and even if you had money, without an identity you wouldn't be able to reserve it because this place is used by even the heads of the three families to gather and there are only five royal suites in the entire Huaxia.

Even the name of Alice was not enough, only with the name of Shi Tu they were able to reserve it and unless Shi Tu personally came it would never be opened.

The three of them sat around a table with the finest dishes.

The three of them were eating and drinking without talking about work, just common topics. Lin Chengu asked some questions about Shi Tu which he answered but no one knows if he is honest.

This was an unwritten rule in such situations where works are only discussed after being drunk.

Because of this rule, most businessmen have high alcohol resistance because if you were much weaker than the other side you would be in an unfavorable position.

After more than half an hour, Lin Chengu couldn't finally stand up because if he drank more, he wouldn't be able to think properly.

"Young Master Shi, I heard you're looking for a business partner, Is that true?"

Shi Tu smiled and answered. " That's right. In fact, we are suffering from some problems now because there are many projects that we cannot implement on our own so we are looking for a reliable partner to cooperate with on a large scale."

Some enthusiasm with a glance of contempt appeared in Lin Chengu's eyes because he was able to read the hints that Shi Tu said.

Lin Chengu thought a little and said, "Hmm, may I know the type and scope of projects? I will not be able to promise anything unless I get some information."

Lin Chengu knew very well that Shi Tu is in big trouble and that he is the one who needs him so he needs to loot some 'information' in advance.

'Shameless!! Greedy!! '

Alice Lin Chengu cursed in our mind.

Just cooperating with Shi Tu will give them many benefits and privileges but he really dares to ask for information? Is this not bare blackmail? If Shi Tu hadn't been here, she would have beaten him.

Shi Tu didn't care at all and said directly, "We currently have three major projects that the Lin family can help us with, which are the Black Jewelry chain project, Alpha Omega Labs, and the country's stadiums. What do you think?"

Alice "!!"

Lin Chengu "!!"

Not only Lin Chengu but even Alice was shocked by what she heard. Each of these three projects was worth billions, but he presented them like this?

Lin Chengu began to believe that he greatly overestimated Shi Tu and that he was just a stupid Young Master.

Perhaps all of Shi's achievements were because of Alice, not Shi Tu.

Lin Chengu couldn't hide the greed in his eyes and said, "Hmm, I think it's good enough. We'll do our best to help."

Lin Chengu didn't seek more negotiations. It would be bad to ask for a lot. It's not good to get offend Alice too much, she seems to be managing the Shi Group.

Shi Tu smiled more and said, '' Of course we will have a meeting tomorrow to discuss the details."

"Yes, yes, of course."

Lin Chengu didn't wear a watch on his wrist so he takes his phone out to see the time but he actually sent a message to Lin Chenshui to come.

Lin Chengu apologized for his behavior, but his happiness increased when he saw the blazing look in Shi Tu's eyes and he became more confident that Shi Tu is just a third-generation Young Master.

He didn't feel it is strange, as his daughter is known to be Songjiang's first beauty, and it's not strange for him to behave like this.

Although it's not comparable to Alice, does a woman like Alice care for a stupid man like Shi Tu? If he tries to do anything to her she will make him regret it.

Just, he felt uncomfortable with Alice's behavior that she didn't speak at all and left the decisions to Shi Tu and didn't even try to advise him while waiting for his daughter's arrival. They returned to the normal discussions and Lin Chengu didn't know the reason for the uneasiness. He is a businessman after all, and profit's their goal, but what Shi Tu did today was a great loss that might harm the foundation of Shi Group.

Suddenly the door opened and two people entered the place. One of them was Lin Chenshui who wore a red dress but surprisingly she was holding the arm of another man. He was a handsome man with a somewhat strong and tall body.

Lin Chengu immediately got upset when he saw this and he immediately realized what his daughter doing and began to curse her internally.

The first one to talk was Shi Tu who had a very wide smile, " Haven't seen you for less than a day but you are more beautiful"

Lin Chenshui froze in her place upon seeing Shi Tu and became immediately upset because the only explanation for him being here is that he is Young Master Shi.

Lin Chenshui realized what was happening now especially that they had the same name Shi Tu, even though Shi Tu had a record against her that she was not afraid because she brought support with her.

Lin Chenshui talked with a sweet voice she was used to because of the many parties she went to.

Although she was stupid, she was trained to act well.

"Fellow student Shi, no, Young Master Shi. I never expected this pleasant surprise. You have really hidden deeply."

Shi Tu laughed a little and said, "Haha, not a big deal."

Lin Chengu was able to gather clues knowing that Shi Tu is the classmate she used to bully on.

Lin Chengu looked at the young man who came up with Lin Chenshui and said with a strong tone.

"Shui'er who is this young man? Why did you bring him?"

" Dad, I introduce you to my boyfriend, Lu Si, from the great Lu family." 

Despite the threat in her father's tone, she didn't back down at all because she was confident in her support.

Lin Chengu "!!"

Lu's family from the new capital?

Lu Si gets close and reached out to Lin Chengu.

"Hello Uncle Lin, I am Lu Si, Shui Shui is my girlfriend."

Lu Si spoke quite politely as someone who met his father-in-law and there was no trace of the arrogance of a Young Master.

'Shui Shui? Are they at this point already? How did I not know this? '

This was a thorny situation, on one hand, the Lu family, on the other hand, Shi Tu. He couldn't easily offend either of them.

Although he had never heard of Lu Si, the fact that he holds the surname Lu only made dealing with him difficult, and on the other hand, the Su family's orders to acquire the Shi family.
