He was also a top student, fluent in three languages, but compared to the Lu Wushuang in front of him, he was utterly outclassed.
"What other tricks do you have?"
Shen Yiman, unconvinced, asked Lu Wushuang again.
"Anything you can think of, I've dabbled in!"
Lu Wushuang continued.
"Do you understand Chinese tea culture?"
Shen Yiman spotted the tea set on the table and posed a deliberately difficult question.
Lu Wushuang smiled slightly, stepped before the tea set, and with extremely skilled movements, prepared tea for Lu Yang and Shen Yiman. His speed was so fast, it was as if he had been immersed in the Way of Tea for over twenty years, once again astonishing Shen Yiman.
"Where did this woman come from? She's so capable, she's a true treasure!"
Shen Yiman couldn't help but exclaim.
"How is it? Are you satisfied?"
Lu Yang smiled slightly and looked at Shen Yiman.
"Satisfied, more than satisfied! You should be my assistant. I feel like I can entrust all my affairs to you from now on!"
Shen Yiman said excitedly.
"Of course, no problem. It's my honor to help you solve problems!"
Lu Wushuang replied with a smile.
Soon, Shen Yiman briefed Lu Wushuang on her recent workload, and Lu Wushuang immediately took charge, busying himself with helping Shen Yiman.
Seeing them get along so well, Lu Yang felt relieved.
"Huh? Why don't I see Bai Shumin?"
Lu Yang searched the company but couldn't find any trace of Bai Shumin, and felt puzzled.
"Shumin said she had something to attend to and returned to Yanjing. She wouldn't tell me what it was,"
Shen Yiman explained to Lu Yang.
"Returned to Yanjing?"
Hearing this, Lu Yang couldn't help but feel a little worried. After all, Bai Shumin was alone and lacked power. Her return to Yanjing was undoubtedly related to the affairs of the Bai family, but going back alone meant she was destined to suffer a disadvantage.
Lu Yang quickly picked up his phone and called Bai Shumin, but the call showed that Bai Shumin's phone was turned off, which made Lu Yang even more concerned.
"Lu Yang, don't worry. Before Shumin left, she said she had a matter to handle, and she'd be back after it's done. She told you not to worry, and definitely not to follow her to Yanjing!"
Shen Yiman continued.
"Alright then, I'll wait a few more days!"
Lu Yang pondered. Perhaps Bai Shumin had other matters to attend to. She was just his secretary, not his wife. He felt he was overstepping his bounds.
Leaving Black Dragon Capital, Lu Yang went directly to Haitong Group.
At that moment, in the conference room of Haitong Group, a group of people were in a heated meeting.
Lu Yang walked in directly, and everyone who saw him was stunned.
"Who is this? How can he just barge in?"
"Is your Haitong Group so disorganized and undisciplined?"
A young man looked at Lu Yang and shouted coldly in broken Chinese.
"Chairman Lu, you're back!"
Lin Guoxiong ignored the young man and walked up to Lu Yang very respectfully. The rest of the Haitong Group personnel also greeted Lu Yang.
"So the real person in charge is back. Then this matter can be easily resolved!"
"That piece of land you want to use for building new energy vehicles, I've taken a liking to it. Here is the land acquisition permit. Take a good look and hand it over quickly, otherwise, this matter won't end here!"
The young man glared at Lu Yang and yelled coldly.
"What's going on?"
Lu Yang, not understanding, turned his gaze to Lin Guoxiong.
"Chairman Lu, our new energy vehicle company's business license has been delayed, but I secured the land in advance. Unexpectedly, these people from the Korean nation suddenly appeared, holding a land acquisition permit and demanding that we hand over the land!"
Lin Guoxiong explained directly to Lu Yang.
"Hmm, it's been a whole week, and the business license still hasn't been issued?"
Hearing this, Lu Yang's expression instantly changed. He had thought that in the week he was away, Lin Guoxiong would have handled this matter. He hadn't expected that a business license would be so difficult to obtain.
"Hmph, if you want to get a business license, you have to ask if our Goryeo Consortium agrees. Haitong Group has been blacklisted by our Goryeo Consortium, so we will absolutely try our best to cripple Haitong Group in all commercial activities in Jiangbei City. We are determined to have this land. We'll give you half a day to hand it over, or don't blame us for forcibly occupying it!"
The young man shouted presumptuously, showing no regard for Lu Yang.
"Since this land was approved by us first, it belongs to us. Why should we give it to you to occupy?"
"Also, tell Han Cheng'en, I didn't want to deal with him, but he insisted on forcing me to. Then don't blame me!"
"Everything belonging to the Goryeo conglomerate in Jiangbei City, I will plunder!"
"This is not a threat!"
Lu Yang looked at the young man and said coldly.
"Presumptuous, who do you think you are? You want to plunder my Goryeo conglomerate's assets? My Goryeo conglomerate's assets are trillions, enough to buy the entire Jiangbei City. How dare you, a small company with a market value of three hundred billion, go head-to-head with our Goryeo conglomerate? You're tired of living! Since you're looking for death, don't blame us for not giving you face. We'll see!"
After the young man finished speaking, he directly led his people away from Haitong Group. The negotiation had completely broken down, and the real showdown was about to begin.
"Chairman, it seems the Goryeo Consortium has bribed people from above to delay our approval, intending to fight us to the death. I also heard that they have contacted the American Tesla Group and plan to build a Tesla branch factory in Jiangbei City, also a new energy vehicle company. The challenges our company will face will be very significant. I think we still need to consider this issue carefully!"
Lin Guoxiong continued looking at Lu Yang.
"Hm?"
"The Goryeo Consortium also wants to get into the new energy vehicle business? Good, let them do it. I don't even put a mere Tesla in my eyes. What I want to do is the best electric vehicles in the world. I want to pull Tesla down from its throne as the king of electric vehicle sales. Otherwise, I wouldn't have established a new energy vehicle company!"
"Old Lin, don't worry. Even if it costs money, I will do this. It's not about success or failure, but about national dignity!"
Lu Yang said coldly.
China was the first to research new energy vehicles, but due to technical issues, it was overtaken by the American Tesla Group, which became the largest exporter of new energy vehicles to China. Tesla had held the top spot in global new energy vehicle sales for several years, which had long displeased Lu Yang. Now that he had the opportunity to build his own new energy vehicles, Lu Yang wouldn't miss it. Since the Korean Goryeo Consortium wanted to interfere, they would deal with them together.
