Luo Xiangshi had the typical mindset of a businessman. He had crossed swords with Ma Lu a few times and failed to gain any advantage, so he decided to simply make an offer to buy Hou De outright.
The proposal for Ma Lu to join the board of directors was an impromptu addition by Luo Xiangshi, which even Luo Yuxiang wasn't aware of, leaving him totally confused upon hearing it.
Luo Xiangshi genuinely admired the young man before him.
He was well past the age of youthful exuberance and did not place much emphasis on temporary wins or losses. In his opinion, the fact that Ma Lu had led the weak Hou De to defeat Heroic Concealment was sufficient proof of his talent.
Knowing that there would be no good outcomes from tonight's banquet, yet daring to attend, and showing no fear or restraint in his presence, also served to highlight his valor.
Such a person, both brave and strategic, was exactly what Hero Group needed.
