Chapter 197 – How much does he know?
Asher still took the gift very sensitively, then casually flung it.NôvelDrama.Org owns this.
“Ah!” Did it finally hit this time? Asher put down the coffee in his hand and lifted his eyes to look across at Claude, trying to see if he was still in one piece.
How to come Oh Asher looked up when he saw a side originally sitting in a chair to take a nap on the face of Bing a goose feather, heart a shock, the original or miss. So he continued to silently lower his head to drink his own coffee.
The two bouncers outside heard a scream coming from the person inside the door, thinking there was some sort of emergency, and immediately pushed their way in.
“Mr. Jun, Mr. Xiang, what’s happening?”
How could it be that their panicked faces were replaced by an unbelievable picture.
Claude and Bing chased Asher around carrying two torn velvet pillows, while Asher was calmly walking and drinking coffee, but managing to deftly avoid their various pursuits.
Claude and Bing had goose feathers all over their heads and bodies, and sat with depressed faces slumped over the couch, panting.
Seeing that the two were running out of energy from the chase, Asher also sat down calmly on the couch and said calmly, “Hey, well, since you guys are tired, let’s rest and rest, it seems to have overestimated your strength.”
With such a blow from Asher, Claude and Bing simultaneously stood up and grabbed the pillow in their hands and threw it at Asher as the melee continued.
The two guards standing at the door were still muttering in their minds, this was neither helping nor not helping. Neither did they help Asher, nor did they help Claude, and now they regretted coming in.
The two men looked at each other, then closed the door behind them and went out, silently thinking to themselves, “Just think of this as a hallucination.
The next day Asher got up early and left the hotel with two other bodyguards to visit the Shengshi Group. Claude, on the other hand, pretended he was the new president of Lai’s company as promised and took Bing to Leng Tianming.
As expected by Asher and Claude, although these directors are all highly educated industry elites, they do not know the Chinese market very well. They only know that a company called Lai was acquired some time ago, but they do not know that the one who acquired Lai is the Jun Group, so they are very attracted to Claude, the fake president.
Especially when Bruce was delighted to hear Claude say what he came for, he wanted to personally introduce himself to Leng Tianming.
So the matter of making an appointment to see Leng Tianming was so very much on the board.
“You just got Leng Tianming on a date?” The reason why Asher asked this was not to doubt Claude’s ability to do the job, but just to wonder why someone who wanted to be as unqualified as Bruce would become a director of Shengshi Group. And yet the other directors didn’t have the slightest doubt, it seemed ridiculous.
“Yeah, I’ll do the job, don’t worry, just wait to see Leng Tianming. The time is 6 o’clock tonight, and the place is at our hotel’s restaurant. How’s that, is that a condescending comment on my efficiency?”
Although Asher fought the urge to kill the man at the sight of Claude’s smug face, Asher gave him a serious thumbs up for the sake of doing his job.
With Asher’s affirmation, Claude sat smugly on his couch crossing his legs. Asher, on the other hand, shook his head helplessly.
“Well, great, looks like things are going a lot smoother than expected.” Asher thought about Mia in his mind, but his mouth was a serious business.
To such an Asher, Claude also gave a polite finger, only instead of a thumb, it was a middle finger.
“Well, I think it’s about time, so I should pack up and get ready to meet my wife’s grandfather.”
“Che, really narcissistic, when you have a full wedding, is someone Leng Tian Ming’s granddaughter-in-law, you still owe someone Mia a wedding!” Claude sneered at Asher while a year was also as well as its fast speed to pack up himself.
“Hardly would I let my child take another man’s surname? Just kidding, as for the wedding, I’ll return Mia a grand wedding when this matter has a happy ending.”
Asher tugged at his tie and looked in the mirror to see that he was already well-packed before he turned to Claude and said, “Come on, don’t keep the elders waiting for us.”
Claude, in a rare instance of not opening his mouth to squeeze Asher, nodded cautiously and walked to the door.
Success or failure is at stake.
Most of the tables in the dining room here were in the hall, with only a few cubicles separated by fence vines. Upon arriving at the restaurant, Asher picked one of the cubicles that backed up to Claude’s cubicle, the only difference between here and Claude’s cubicle was that this one had a window for a couple’s date, while Claude’s one had no window for a business date.
The reason why Asher made such a decision was that on the one hand, he wanted to be able to see Leng Tianming and hear the conversation clearly, and on the other hand, he did not want to be discovered by Bruce and other directors with ulterior motives and cause unnecessary trouble.
The sky outside the window was getting dark, Claude glanced at her watch, it was already 6:05, but there was still no sign of anyone. claude complained in her heart about how big this Leng Tian Ming’s frame was. So a little anxious Claude ordered a cup of coffee and slowly tasted it.
Suddenly Asher saw a black stretch Lincoln parked in front of the door through the curtains that separated them from the screen. Getting out of the car was a line of American men in black suits and black sunglasses. They stood on either side of the car’s doorway, respectfully waiting for the people who got out of the car.
Asher was sure in his heart that these burly Americans weren’t the ones who had attacked him last time, but how many of them had come in such a loud and powerful manner?
As Asher’s mind was chattering, an old man in a black tweed coat got out of the car. The old man was wearing a brown beret and was holding a cane, his face was not clear through the window screen, but it looked like the old man was at peace.
After the old man got out of the car, the car closed its doors, and Asher wondered in his mind, did that mean Bruce didn’t come along? How could Greenes Bruce not be there in person if he wanted to make this happen so badly?
Asher was still in doubt, but the car hadn’t moved since it was parked there. Now Asher was sure, it seemed that only Leng Tianming had come alone, and none of the other directors had come.
“Mr. Leng is here, please sit down, please sit down.”
Claude’s voice from the next room brought Asher back to reality from his imagination. Asher sat down and settled down to listen to the conversation in the next room.
“Looks like the lad is really punctual, I wonder how long he’s been here, did I keep you waiting old man?” An aged, pale voice came next to Claude’s.
According to Asher’s impression, there was only one old man down in the car, and it looked like this voice was mostly Leng Tianming’s.
“Leng Lao overstates the case, it hasn’t really been that long, but it is true that you are late.” Claude said something that belittled himself and also had a reproachful tone to it.
“Haha, you’re a pretty funny kid.”
How could it be that Leng Tianming laughed instead of being angry, and his pale and masculine voice was so bright that Asher could not help but increase some good feelings towards the old man.
Asher suddenly remembered what Mia had said to herself about her grandfather Leng Tianming, and smiled slightly, it seemed that it was true that Mia hadn’t suffered much even after following her grandfather, this late affection, still gave Mia some comfort ah.
“But fun is fun, lying to old people is bad behavior, isn’t it Claude kid?”
Leng Tianming’s words made Bing and Claude who were present tremble, so Leng Tianming already knew about this matter! They thought that this matter was seamless, it seemed that they had thought of Leng Tianming too easily, thinking that they could hide it from the world. However, since Leng Tianming knew about them, what did he come here for?
“Oh, it’s true that nothing can be hidden from Elder Leng’s eyes, these individual moves of our juniors seem to be carvings, making you laugh, Elder Leng.”
Claude looked at the seemingly amiable old man in front of him, as if he was looking at a master. A master was bound to be deeply hidden, and once revealed then he was bound to achieve something, so what was the purpose of this old man in front of him now?
Asher, who had been listening to the commotion next door, suddenly clenched the teacup in his hand as he wondered what this Leng Tianming was up to.
If he was here to poke Claude, then he should have brought Bruce and those people along, in that case, not only would Claude be poked in public for his true colors, but he might even be found out here himself. But Leng Tianming didn’t do that, so what was he going to do?
“You’re welcome, I always like to play games with young people, and since my old man guessed the answer to classmate Claude’s riddle, is it time for the protagonist to come out and meet me?”
“Buzz-” Asher next door frowned, and his ears instantly felt like something had pricked them, and he couldn’t really hear anything.
Leng Tianming actually knew he was here!
It wasn’t just Asher next door who was surprised, but also Claude across from Leng Tianming, just how much more did the old man know?
Looking at the surprised Claude, Leng Tianming smiled and then explained, “If you are Claude, then you are the vice president of the Jun Group, so in that case, the thing you said about buying out Jun’s material source must be a lie. If that is true, then this matter must have been planned by your president, so I guess he must have come here just to meet me for a while?”
Leng Tianming stroked the scruff on his chin, gave a big laugh, and then said, “Since he went to such great lengths to see me, then I think he must not want anyone to know about this, then my old man will not bring anyone as he wishes, how about that, you’re not going to tell me that he has no intention of seeing me, are you?”
