Chapter 147: Do You Need Me to Accompany You

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

The hotel was indeed very noisy, with tables filling the space, and many people engaged in conversations. This was a common scene. A few wealthy young men sat on the side, accompanied by beautiful women. There were also a few stacks of cash on the table.

These were props for the show, a chance to display social skills and connections.

If Lu An wanted his company to enter the domestic market, he still had to see if these tycoons would give him a face.

This was also the reason why he did not like the domestic market. It was a roundabout way of doing things. Most of the time, he did not do much and only focused on building relationships.

But such was the world, he had to play along.

Lu An sat in his seat, lit a cigarette, and pondered how he had to make a trip tonight, as he had promised earlier.

“All!”

A scream shattered the atmosphere.

“What kind of person are you? Taking advantage and acting all high and mighty? Pretending to be superior here?” A chubby middle-aged man slapped the girl’s face.

Lu An stood up, and addressing a fellow attendee, he asked, “What’s going on?”

“Well, what else? This woman is serving drinks and won’t let him touch her, acting like this.”

Lu An chuckled and approached the man.

The man raised his hand to slap again, but Lu An caught his wrist.

“It’s not a big deal. Why resort to violence?”

The man turned around and saw Lu An with a cigarette in his mouth. He didn’t seem to be a good person.

The situation eased a bit. The girl sought refuge behind Lu An.

“Do you know who I am?” The man sneered. “Is this insignificant girl worth ruining my mood for?”

“What do you mean by ‘insignificant’? We’re all human. Just because you have some money, you think you’re superior?”

“You!” The man was silenced by Lu An’s words, and many people around chuckled at him.

“Lu An, what’s your point? We have a partnership. Are you thinking of ending it?”

Lu An was unaffected. He said calmly, “Cooperation is one thing, this situation is another. If my partner’s character is limited to this, I’d rather not have it.”

Lu An’s words were casual. He had plenty of money, so the partnership was optional.

“You! Fine, you said it. Now it’s impossible for you to enter the domestic market!”

As he finished, the man turned and left. No one in the hotel dared to speak.

Lu An didn’t bother to stop him. He didn’t say anything. He let him leave and took a drag on his cigarette. Smoke filled the air, and people nearby distanced themselves. No one wanted to mess with the tycoon Lu An had just offended.

The girl slowly stood, tidied her disheveled clothes, and approached Lu An.

“Mr. Lu, thank you.”

Lu An simply nodded. He wasn’t one to meddle, but he couldn’t stand what the man did.

They were all people earning a living. Who were they to claim superiority?

His friend Qin Yu approached. He had witnessed Lu An’s dispute with the man.

“How did it escalate to this?”

Lu An seemed indifferent. He said, “I just didn’t like it. I have something to attend to now, so I’ll leave.”

After a moment’s thought, Qin Yu understood it was for the sake of Lu An’s wife, so he didn’t stop him.

“Alright, 1’11 arrange a car for you.”

The car drove out of the underground parking lot. Because they could tell that it was Lu An’s car, no one did not stop it along the way.

Just then, a figure appeared and halted his car.

Lu An lowered the window and looked at the person.

It was the girl he had helped earlier.

The girl seemed to have mustered up a great deal of courage to stop Lu An’s car. She unbuttoned her shirt, revealing her fair neck, looking fragrant and soft.

“Is there anything else?” Lu An showed no expression, gazing at the girl.

When the girl saw Lu An roll down the window, a hint of excitement appeared in her eyes. Lu An saw all of this.

“I wanted to… thank you, Mr. Lu, for helping me earlier.”

Lu An nodded, and the girl still didn’t move away. Lu An raised an eyebrow and said calmly, “Is there anything else?”

The girl twisted her fingers nervously and stammered, “Mr. Lu, would you like me to accompany you tonight?”

In an instant, Lu An’s gaze sharpened. He looked at the girl, his eyes like a keen blade, devoid of any extra expression.

Initially, he had no ulterior motives for helping the girl. He merely looked down on the man’s behavior..
