Chapter 113 - A target
Lu Yin Ze had not t so many people in his life. He was so overwheld by the people in front of him.
He got a little bit conscious as all those eyes surrounded him. He got used to admiring eyes ever since he was young. But this so many eyes staring at him made him uncomfortable. But he pushed down his uneasiness. If he wants to have a good impression on them he needs to persist. He would lead the Lu Empire. He is soone who would be exposed to so many people in the future.
With force confidence, he faced the crowd and bowed gracefully to them.
"Thank you for attending everyone. I'm so honored to have you all here." Lu Yin Ze said sincerely.
The guest couldn't take their eyes away from that beautiful face.
Old Lu laughed at the crowd.
"What? Are you all speechless by my grandson's presence? Look at you, old fools! Compose yourselves." Old Lu said jokingly to the guest.
So of the guests were close friends of Old Lu. They are the shareholders of the Lu Empire, directors, and the legendary leaders of different companies. There are people as well who got so lucky to be given an invitation from the Lu's close friends and relatives, the people such as Xiong De.
Those close 'friends' just laughed at Old Lu's actions. But they clearly took note that this Lion Lu who was so fierce in business could actually act like a real grandpa to his grandson. This shows how he clearly favored the second grandson.
These people initially thought the successor would be the first young master. Since the second young master was like a non-existent in the Lu family. They never t this second grandson before.? So they thought that they just keep the second young master in abroad so the first master could establish his position in the Lu empire. But now, it seems it's not the case.
The second young master celebrated his birthday as well before, but not as private and grand like this. Old Lu just stayed at the event for half an hour and left. He did not even prepare the said event.
These close friends were not aware of the struggles in the Lu family. Since the Lu family hide it well. But every one of them is a wealthy man after all. They knew how rich family works. So without even doubting it, they now knew that there were struggles as well in Lu family. And it was sohow connected to the siblings. Today, they saw who the old Lu bestowed his blessings too.
The shareholders and directors clearly understand it. They introduced themselves to Lu Yin Ze one by one. This is the boy that they would support in the future.
However, not all of the shareholders are inclined to support the second young master. There are so that already affiliate themselves to the exceptional first young master. But they did not let it shown. They would face the problem not at the present but in the future.
Lu Yin Ze beca so busy as he was surrounded by all-mighty figures. He felt overwheld.
In the distance, Xiong Wuyue was alone as Xiong De left and tried to associate with his 'friends'. Her eyes couldn't look away from that angelic face. Xiong Wuyue was still captivated. She was looking for a chance to et the second young master Lu and made known her beautiful figure to him.
A handso man approach Xiong Wuyue. He was quite young, probably in mid-twenties. Xiong Wuyue stands out for him since she looks so young and beautiful. Every person here has an exceptional background like him. Thinking that he would et such a fairy and with equal status to him, the handso man approach Xiong Wuyue and gently asked.
"Hi. I haven't t a beautiful lady like you. May I have a pleasure to have your na?" The handso young man was at the peak of his years. He was interested in pretty ladies. His grandfather dragged him to attend this event saying for him to support the second young master. But the handso young man only enjoys life. Why the heck would he curry favor to a man younger than him?
Xiong Wuyue just glanced at him. She doesn't find the man alluring enough. If there was a fancy main dish in front of her, would she still care about those puny side dishes?
Xiong Wuyue had her mindset on the main dish which was the second young master Lu.
The crowd around Lu Yin Ze got larger. He was getting dizzy so he excused himself to get so drink and fresh air.
He got out of the crowd and get one light drinks on the waiter. He gulped it down in one shot.
The event had already started but he does not see around the familiar faces that could give him a bit of comfort, that was his friends. He called one of the staff to look for his friends at his private lounge.
"Second Young Master Lu. " A sweet voice which could draw honey out of it sounded behind Lu Yin Ze. He turned around and a beautiful lady with phoenix eyes smiled shyly to him.
"Xiong Wuyue, from the second branch of Xiong family, wishes you blissful years to co." Xiong Wuyue said as she bowed gracefully.
Lu Yin Ze's attention was caught when he heard she was from the Xiong family. Thinking of his friend, Xiong Zhi from the Xiong family, he treated Xiong Wuyue politely and more sincerely.
"Thank you for coming. Did you find the party enjoyable so far?" Lu Yin Ze strikes a small conversation to her that made Xiong Wuyue happy and more confident.
"Yes. Everything is perfect. I find everything comfortable." Xiong Wuyue smiled sweetly. Having such a close look with this second young master, Xiong Wuyue agreed that his beauty could really rival the angels. And now, this man would be one of her suitors.
She was expecting more questions from Lu Yin Ze to continue the conversation but Lu Yin Ze did not ask more questions and said in a polite tone.
"That's great. If you find anything uncomfortable, don't be shy and let my staff know." He said in a polite but dismissive manner.
Lu Yin Ze then turns around to continue eting so guests.
Xiong Wuyue who just managed to speak two lines stood rooted on the ground.
It's already a good chance for the second master to talk to her. But the second young master just wasted it.
'Is he playing hard to get?'
Xiong Wuyue thought she needs to create more chances for them to talk tonight.
"Oh. You have a big appetite. I'm telling you, don't be too greedy. The second young master is not easy to catch. You will just get hurt by trapping him. Why not catch instead? My position was a bit lower compare to him but it's stable." The handso man earlier watched completely the exchange between Xiong Wuyue and Lu Yin Ze. Even he was mostly interested in pretty girls, he grew up in this industry and he knows a lot of won. What Xiong Wuyue did earlier was very familiar to him. The handso man saw right through her.
Xiong Wuyue was in a bad mood and got easily annoyed.
"I don't find you attractive. Get lost." Xiong Wuyue finds this man annoying that she did not even put her mask to dismiss him.
The handso man was not offended but got more intrigued.
'So feisty'
"I might not look like it, but my grandfather is a shareholder in Lu empire. I am his successor. I have handso looks. What more would you want?" The handso guy said teasingly. He now added his status to his introduction. He was patient with pretty girls so he gave Xiong Wuyue a chance to accompany him tonight.
Xiong Wuyue was from the legendary Xiong family. Even though she ca from the second branch, she was of a high status since she ca from the Xiong . She was not tempted by this kind of man. What she wants was to be the Young Miss of Xiong. Or to be in the main family of one of the legendary families.
She hated being in a second branch. Hearing that the man was 'just' a shareholder she wants to dump him but then she stopped.
She looked at the handso man.
"You are a shareholders of what?"
The handso young man thought Xiong Wuyue got tempted by his status. So he proudly said,
"I am the successor of one of the shareholders in the Lu empire. " He even used his hands to emphasize he was a part of Lu empire in the future. Not just a part, but he owned a bit of Lu empire in the future.
Xiong Wuyue suddenly thought of a plan. A plan to get closer with the second young master.
She looked at the man and smiled sweetly. She doesn't see him as annoying as before. She now sees him as a bridge towards the second young master.
"Alright. I'll be your muse for today."
The handso man was happy and let it pass how Xiong Wuyue treated him. He lends him his arm but Xiong Wuyue just looked at it.
For Xiong Wuyue, this man was not even worthy to hold her arm.
She walked ahead and planned to mingle with the shareholders with this man in tow.
Tonight, she would make sure to leave a long-lasting impression to the second young master of Lu.
