Chapter 837: The Invincible Pair, Both Invited by Si Fuqing (2)
Lu Xingci, a prodigy, was a rare sight even in several years.
Intercontinental Research Institute held him in high regard, with everything centered around him.
How could Florent not recognize him?
“Who are you?” Lu Xingci’s natural arrogance made him accustomed to looking down on people.
Florent was extremely respectful. “I had the honor of attending a banquet held by the Lu family and meeting Young Master Xingci.”
“Oh.” Lu Xingci folded his hands behind his back. “I don’t remember.”
Florent wasn’t offended. “It’s only right that Young Master Xingci doesn’t remember me. I’m just a minor figure, unworthy of your attention.”
Lu Xingci waved dismissively. “Exactly.”
The LI family was stunned.
Even more incredulous were LI Yanchen and Second Master LI.
When had they ever seen Florent behave so obsequiously towards anyone?
Who on earth was this seemingly underage boy?
Ji Yun couldn’t hold back any longer. He gritted his teeth. “...Stop pretending to be high and mighty.”
He couldn’t stand it any longer.
The LI family might not know Lu Xingci, but they certainly recognized Ji Yun.
Old Master LI stood up abruptly, stuttering, he said, “Mr. Ji, how... how is it that...”
The elite families of Sijiu City had identified two ways to connect with Ji Yun.
One was to form a team that could win the championship in the OPL.
The other was to break into the top fifty of the international joint examination.
Unfortunately, the LI family had no achievements in either of these areas.
No one expected Su Yang to actually bring people, and such an invincible pair.
LI Yanchen sat in his chair, his hands clenched, veins bulging.
For the first time, his expression was one of confusion.
He lost?
He actually lost?
How could this be?
Su Yang was just a singer; how did he connect with Ji Yun and Lu Xingci?
It felt like a thousand ants were slowly eating away at his heart and lungs. LI Yanchen’s eyes turned red.
In the LI family, the victor was the king, and the loser was the villain.
Now that the power had shifted back to LI Yuzhi, he certainly wouldn’t spare LI Yanchen.
What now?
LI Yanchen was so arrogant that he had never considered losing, and thus hadn’t left himself a way out.
Second Madam LI was also panicking, her hands and feet cold. “Yanchen, what do we do now? What do we do...”
LI Yanchen was sweating profusely, his lips tightly sealed, saying nothing.
“Alright, meeting adjourned,” Old Master Lian said with satisfaction. “Tomorrow is Su Yang’s banquet, so let’s prepare well.”
The shareholders didn’t leave; they wanted to chat with Ji Yun and Lu Xingci.
But the two didn’t stay long and left first.
“Hey, what are you planning to do? I want to find the freak to play with,” Lu Xingci complained. “I rushed over right after landing and haven’t had a proper rest.”
Ji Yun coldly said, “I’ll tell her you called her a freak.”
Lu Xingci: “...”
That joke was too much.
“Just kidding,” Ji Yun sneered. “The OPL finals are coming up. I’m busy, so I have to go.”
