Chapter 30 Wang Xue and Lin Yijia Begin to Suspect Lu Chen

"This brat has really lost it, keeping pretenses up even now." Everyone shook their heads at Lu Chen's question. They had never seen such ant incorrigible man before.

It was so disgraceful that Wang Xue and Lin Yijia wished that they could sink into a hole in the ground.

At this moment, Wang Xue stood up with a clatter, prepared to throw Lu Chen out herself to avoid getting her daughter and herself involved further in the embarrassing spectacle.

Lin Yijia followed Wang Xue as she strode toward Lu Chen, hoping to pull him away before Qiu Jian boiled over.

"Hmm?" Qiu Jian took a second look at Lu Chen upon hearing him speak. Just as he was about to snap, he finally recognized Lu Chen's face.

"Y-Young Master Lu!" Qiu Jian

stammered in shock when Lu Chen's face finally registered.

This was the true master of Jun Yue Group and one of the largest shareholders of Jadeite 36. Even their boss, the principal shareholder, had to address Lu Chen respectfully as "Young Master Lu'. He was merely a manager here, yet he had wanted to call the guards to throw this VIP out. He had almost gotten himself into deep trouble.

"Young Master Lu, I'm really sorry. I didn't realize that it was you!" Qiu Jian rushed to apologize, his face screwed up in remorse.

Young Master Lu?

Wang Xue and Lin Yijia, who had just reached Lu Chen's side and were about to start pulling him out, stopped in their tracks. Dumbfounded, they stared at Qiu Jian.

Within Qiu Jian's eyes, they saw fear and alarm.

What is going on?

Since when did this good-for-nothing. become Young Master Lu? Why is even the manager of Jadeite 36 cowering before him?

The other customers were also bewildered.

Isn't this guy just a common riff-raff? How did he become Young Master Lu all of a sudden?

"M-Manager Qiu, he's just a security guard. How can he be Young Master Lu? Could you be mistaken?" Wang Xue asked incredulously.

"That's right, Manager Qiu. We know him personally! He really is just a security guard," Di Fu stepped forward and said.

"And you are?" Hearing Di Fu say that he knew Lu Chen, Qiu Jian played it safe and turned toward Di Fu.

"My name is Di Fu. I'm the assistant director of sales at Yun Fei Group," Di Fu announced proudly, his eyes mocking as he looked toward Lu Chen.

Meanwhile, Lu Chen just smiled faintly and told Qiu Jian, "I don't know him. Just get me a private room."

Upon hearing Lu Chen's words, Qiu Jian brushed Di Fu aside. Let alone a member of the management, even the CEO of Yun Fei Group had to defer to Young Master Lu. A member of management was nothing compared to him.

"Young Master Lu, I'll show you to the Imperial Suite. The Imperial Suite was reserved for your exclusive use under the orders of Director Zhao. In your absence, we have only used it once to entertain an important guest from the city," Qiu Jian explained respectfully as he led the way.

The Director Zhao he spoke of was the principal shareholder of the restaurant, Zhao Chuanbing. Ever since Jun Yue Group had announced Lu Chen's identity during the management conference, Zhao Chuanbing had kept the Imperial Suite, one of their three largest private rooms, vacant. Other than the occasional use for entertaining important guests from the city, it was no longer open to the public.

Xu Jing followed behind Lu Chen, his face calm and composed though his heart pounded with excitement.

He just knew that Lu Chen wasn't the type of person that the company staff said he was.

In fact, he believed that the restaurant manager wouldn't be as respectful even if General Manager Xia was here.

What on earth is Chen's true identity?

Xu Jing puzzled over it.

Wang Xue and her companions finally came back to their senses as they watched the trio step into the elevator. However, the shock in their eyes lingered.

Is this really that useless son-in-law of mine? The confusion in Wang Xue's mind grew bigger.

Brother-in-law, who on earth are you?

Lin Yijia murmured to herself.

General Manager Xing from New Skylight gave you the Ultimate VIP card. Apart from that, Director Zhao from

 

Jadeite 36 reserved the Imperial Suite for your exclusive use.

Are you really just a security guard? On the other hand, Di Fu's face was ashen.

He had wanted to show off in front of Lu Chen, but he ended up having it thrown in his face. And the worst thing was that he had no choice but to swallow it. Qiu Jian was differentially respectful to him. Even Director Zhao from Jadeite 36 has reserved the Imperial Suite for his exclusive use.

What kind of major player is he to receive royal treatment like that?

Meanwhile, he was just a part of the upper management of a company. At this point, he was forced to swallow his own humiliation.

The waitress was out of it for even longer, only recovering after Lu Chen and his entourage had entered the elevator.

The instant she came to her senses, she chased after them with an ashen face.

She knew that she had offended some big shot and had to apologize immediately.

Wang Xue and Lin Yijia both excused themselves to go to the toilet, and the first thing they did was to make a call to Lin Yijun.

"Yijun, I need to ask you a question. Has

there been anything strange going on with Lu Chen lately?" Wang Xue asked the instant her daughter picked up the phone.

"Everything's normal. Why?" Lin Yijun asked curiously.

"What mother meant was, has brother- in-law been meeting up with anyone Important recently?" Lin Yijia snatched Wang Xue's phone and asked.

"Probably not. He's at the company most of the time nowadays," Lin Yijun replied.

"At the company, my foot! He's having lunch at Jadeite 36 right now, and the manager here is ridiculously deferential to him, even addressing him as Young Master Lu!" Lin Yijia exclaimed.

"Huh? That can't bel" Lin Yijun laughed it off after the initial shock.

"Why can't it be? The manager just led him to a private room. Call and ask him if you don't believe me," Lin Yijia declared.

"Oh, alright. I'll call and ask him then," Lin Yijun asserted before hanging up.

She found Lu Chen's number, but after hesitating for a bit, she decided not to make the call.

Just then, her phone chose that moment to ring again. When she saw the caller ID, Lin Yijun took the call immediately.

"Miss Lin, I'm so sorry. I was stuck in a jam for a good twenty minutes because of a car accident ahead. I may be a little late," the voice at the other end of the line told her apologetically.

"Manager Wang, it's not an issue at all. I've only just arrived. Whatever it is, please be careful while you're driving!" Lin Yijun reassured him, flattered that he even bothered to call ahead.

The person on the other end of the line was none other than Jun Yue Group's project manager, Wang Wei.

Earlier today, she had only been testing the waters when she called Wang Wei to ask about the possibility of Dong Jia Electronics putting a foot in the Dragon Lakeview Mansion Area Project. However, she hadn't expected Wang Wei to ask her to pick a place to discuss the project right after she introduced herself.

It was even more surprising that Wang Wei had called her just to apologize when he was only going to be slightly late.

Wang Wei's attitude thrilled her as it was an indication that Dong Jia Electronics had a very good chance of closing the sale on the Dragon Lakeview

Mansion Area Project!

Less than twenty minutes later, WangWei finally arrived.

The negotiations were so smooth that Lin Yijun found it hard to believe. Wang Wei had signed the contract without even enquiring about the price first.

A project that cost 27 million. Lin Yijun clutched the signed contract in her hands. It still felt like a dream to her when she walked out of the hotel.

Even though the contract had only been her initial draft, Wang Wei had placed his signature and Jun Yue Group's contract chop on it. It was completely valid.

Moreover, Wang Wei had promised to transfer the 5 million deposit into Dong Jia Electronics' bank account before office hours were up.

"I'll go back and tell General Manager Xia about it first. If they really transfer the deposit money later today, then it must be true." Lin Yijun still couldn't believe that she managed to close the deal on the Dragon Lakeview Mansion Area Project.

Wang Wei smiled wryly as he watched Lin Yijun left with a look of disbelief on her face.

Young Master Lu, Young Master Lu. What are you playing at now? It's clear that you love your wife dearly, so why don't you tell her your real identity?

Wang Wei smiled and shook his head, uncertain of what the Young Master had planned.
