Chapter 76 - Lu Jin

Guan Gao Huan loosens his tie.

He was in the car and the class had just ended.

Today he would meet his friend that he had not seen in the past years.

"To LG's Club." He ordered the driver.

He just came to China a week ago. The Old man enrolled him to TIHS the moment he came.

Because of parties and socializing he did not have enough time to take care of his business. Now would be the start. Of course, he needed to visit his business partner.

The car arrived at the parking lot of LG's Club.

This club was big and luxurious made only for the wealthy. He and his business partner built this club so that they could have their dealings safely here. Aside from that, this club was their eyes and ears. It did just not give enormous income but great information that did not amount to any money.

He gets out of the car and went to the top floor. The VIP room among the VIPs.

The elevator opened and reveal an overlooking view.  The windows,  walls, and roof were glasses allowing them to gaze at the stars. If morning came, they could just press the button, and a roof would automatically appear covering the glasses. Same with the walls and windows.

The entire top floor was for them. The creators of LG's club.

Guan Gao Huan walked to the corner.

There was a couch that worth a million. And sitting on it was a handsome man from a prestigious family. Who else could it be that could have the same sit with Guans? Other than the Xiongs and Tangs, it was Lu's.

Lu Jin was drinking his wine as he waited for Gao Huan. Like his dark hair and dark eyes, he preferred darkness. There was only a lamp at the side that gave them a little light. His skin was translucent pale like he had not come out to meet the sun. Nevertheless, he had this s.e.xiness and cold handsomeness in his being.

In front of him, on the center table was a file.

Gao Huan took a sit in one of the couch.

"You're early as usual."

Lu Jin just looked at him and did not say anything.

Gao Huan was not offended. His friend was like this since they were young.

He gets the file from the table and scanned it.

After two minutes he praised Lu Jin.

"In just a few days you managed to get this info from them. I applaud for you."

"They are still a Xiong, your praises is not enough." A cold husky voice answered Gao Huan.

Gao Huan just laughed it out.

"Of course. In our last project, you'll have a two percent increase-" Lu Jin used his cold eyes to disagreed. Even that was only two percent, it costs millions. However, it was too little for him.

"Unless you speak to me, I will not increase it." Guan Gao Huan added. He loved to tease this friend of his and changed his unshakable expression.

Lu Jin just raised his hand.

A man in a black suit passed him another file.

"I think you don't want this anymore. What I give you is only the surface of the daughter-father duo. " Lu Jin raised his fingers and the man in the black suit handed him a lighter.

Guan Gao Huan's smile faltered.

As the fire started to burn the corner of the file, Gao Huan finally gave in.

"Fine. You got your twenty percent. " As he said that, he stands up and snatch the file.

Geez! This friend of his could not even take a joke!

He was not funny.

With a sullen expression, Gao Huan scanned the second file.

If the first file was about the business and investments of daughter-father duo throughout the years. The second file consists of the dealings of the daughter-father duo in the black market and the people they have connections with. It was expensive information as the bitterness for that twenty percent was gone instantly.

Guan Gao Huan was glad. He was sure that if they meet now, ([1]: he was talking about Xiong De and Xiong Wuyue) he would not be at a disadvantage. He could use this to threaten them and played them in his hands. Maybe he could start on them to put the Xiong to his side. And if he was lucky, he could monopolize the Xiong.

"Great! Great!"

After reading it. Gao Huan smile at Lu Jin warmly.

"How about the other one?"

Lu Jin sipped on his wine first. Savoring the magnificent taste before he looked at the man in a black suit.

The man handed him another file.

"This is not free." Lu Jin said as he opened the file and scanned it. He was reading it with seriousness. Like he was immersed with it.

Gao Huan's eyebrow raised. Maybe the Young Miss of Xiong was not timid and shy as everyone said.

He remembered then the beautiful girl in a white-blue hanfu. And also, her terrified eyes.

'Did she know something?'

He was more curious about her.

"What do you want?" Gao Huan knew his friend very well. Lu Jin would not give it without a huge price.

"The truth. I wanted to know what happened ten years ago."

Gao Huan was taken aback.

Then his smile faded.

"We already talk about it many times, Jin. If you want to know the truth, ask your father." He said grimly.

Lu Jin's cold eyes stared at him. Lu Jin's eyes were usually cold so he could not see what the difference is. But he knew his friend was stubborn. So he was too.

This talk won't go anywhere.

Lu Jin averted his eyes. Gao Huan took a glass of wine and drank from it. This was what he did not like about his friend. He can't see through him. Like now, he did not know what those cold eyes were thinking. Gao Huan sometimes had this feeling like he did not know his friend at all. Nevertheless, both of their existence was a great help to each other. So they both compromise.

However, there was one talk that Gao Huan could not entertain. Lu Jin knew that. But he still persisted, like now.

"I can offer you 30% in my next project in Europe. It's a big project. You'll just provide the advertis.e.m.e.nt and I 'll handle the rest. It's a big benefit. Take it." Gao Huan offered. It's a big offer.

Since Lu Jin asked for that info for this file, this means that it contains a lot of secrets of the Young Miss. And a secret of a first descendant of Xiong was priceless.

Lu Jin's eyes were hiding behind his hair's shadow.

"Okay  "  He then handed the file.

But before Gao Huan could touch it, Lu Jin takes it back again.

"Call your secretary now. Tell him to prepare for an oral contract."

Gao Huan impatiently called his assistant and secretary. They made two oral contracts on this certain couch.

"Good. " Lu Jin was slightly pleased and handed the file. At the same time, he stands up.

"Just call me if you have any questions.  I have meetings to attend. And by the way, I will deal with my brother. Don't butt in." Lu Jin said as he walked away. 

Gao Huan just looked at Lu Jin who was walking away. For the second time, he could not really understand him well. Sometimes he felt that he hate his brother, to the point of wanting to kill him, but sometimes he felt that Lu Jin was protecting his brother. It was contradicting, but that's what he felt when Lu Jin talked about his brother.

He opened the files to cut his thoughts. The Lu's matter was not of his concern.

However, when he browse the file for the second time, he felt like screaming.

For the third time, he could NOT REALLY understand his friend at all!

'Lu Jin, damn you !!!'
