Chapter 742: Feelings

Shen Ruojing immediately looked towards the door and saw that there was no one else in the private room, only a man sitting on the sofa.

The man wore a black mask that completely covered his face.

However, this didn’t hinder Shen Ruojing from noticing that the man had yellow skin and black hair.

Shen Ruojing’s eyes became even brighter, and her gaze toward King became more intense. n0velusb.C0m

Chu Cichen couldn’t help but cough, interrupting Shen Ruojing’s heated gaze. He then spoke, “Mr. King.”

King stood up and extended his hand to Chu Cichen, saying, “Mr. Chu, nice to meet you.”

He spoke standard Mandarin.

Shen Ruojing’s eyes sparkled even more.

Just as King was about to shake hands with Chu Cichen, another hand suddenly appeared in front of him. King was slightly surprised and followed that hand’s direction, only to see Shen Ruojing staring at him with peach blossom eyes, looking at him passionately.

That gaze made even this big man feel a bit flattered.

King couldn’t help but cough and then tentatively spoke, “Miss Shen?”

Shen Ruojing immediately nodded and said, “Yes, that’s me.”

She was about to hold King’s hand, but Chu Cichen reached out and pulled her hand away, then looked at King and said with a dominant tone, “My wife was very excited to see another compatriot, so she lost her composure.”

There was a strong sense of asserting sovereignty in his words.

Shen Ruojing,”...”

King, however, didn’t mind and just smiled, saying, “So that’s the case, but I’m afraid Miss Shen... 1 mean Mrs. Chu will be disappointed.”

As soon as the words “Mrs. Chu” were spoken, Chu Cichen’s smile grew wider, and his impression of King improved. They even had a feeling of having met each other too late.

Shen Ruojing, on the other hand, didn’t understand the back-and-forth between the two men and asked directly, “Why?”

“Because King never interferes in political affairs.”

King’s voice was likely processed during puberty to keep his identity highly confidential.

Upon hearing this, Shen Ruojing wrinkled her brow in disappointment and said, “1 see!”

King nodded and said, “Business knows no nationality.”

But Shen Ruojing subconsciously replied, “But businessmen do have nationalities.”

King,”??”

Chu Cichen immediately tugged Shen Ruojing’s arm, his tone was serious as he said, “Jingjing, don’t talk nonsense.”

Shen Ruojing wanted to say something else, but Chu Cichen spoke first, “Mr. King is a patriotic person, of course, he understands this principle. There’s no need for us to teach him.”

Shen Ruojing was slightly stunned.

King then laughed and said, “Mr. Chu, you’re advising me in every word!”

Chu Cichen replied, “I dare not, 1 dare not.”

King sat directly on the sofa and pointed to the opposite side, saying to both of them, “Please have a seat.”

After the three of them sat down, Shen Ruojing finally realized that she had been too radical.

She didn’t have the right to interfere with other people’s freedom, so she spoke, “Mr. King, 1 was presumptuous earlier.”

King waved his hand and said, “It’s alright. I’ve encountered many patriotic individuals like Mrs. Chu before. I’m already used to it.”

King doesn’t interfere in internal affairs, so he has never been involved in the development of China. He has been criticized by many people over the years, but it’s already good enough that Shen Ruojing apologized.

While King was thinking this, Shen Ruojing sighed and said, “1 was being biased just now.”

King was slightly taken aback.

Shen Ruojing continued, “If you truly don’t interfere, then compared to dealing with the Loong Corporation back then, you would have been even more ruthless. I presume you held back at that time as well?”

King pursed his lips and remained silent.

However, Chu Cichen nodded and said, “King indeed held back.”

As an economic heavyweight empire that has survived for hundreds, or even thousands of years, how could the person in charge, King, not handle a rising star? He simply showed mercy back then. Otherwise, the Loong Corporation would not have been able to retreat completely and then rise again after lying dormant for six years.

A faint smile flashed in King’s eyes behind the mask, and he looked at Chu Cichen, saying, “So, did ATr. Eastern Dragon ever blame us? I just felt that your rapid rise wasn’t necessarily a good thing.”

Thus, the apparent suppression was actually an act of goodwill and fairness.

Chu Cichen, being young and ambitious, had risen before the Loong Corporation had fully developed and lacked absolute strength to contend with them. He couldn’t wait to make his mark and was suppressed for six years. Now, he had finally grown into his own.

Chu Cichen expressed his gratitude, saying, “Thank you.”

Both of them were rare talents in the business world, so they couldn’t help but exchange a few more words. They also felt a sense of mutual understanding.

While Chu Cichen was deep in thought, Shen Ruojing directly asked, “If that’s the case, why did King help the Karl family? Don’t you know that you’re aiding and abetting wrongdoing?”

As soon as these words were spoken, the air in the room suddenly turned cold..
