At this moment.
The entire top floor of the Four Seasons Hotel in Beijing had been booked. Even the hotel manager did not know the name of this mysterious guest who had booked the entire floor of their hotel.
In a room on the 48th floor.
The man in the wheelchair sat quietly in front of the French windows in the living room.
Below him was the entire city view.
Countless vehicles were woven on the city’s viaduct, like tiny ants running at high speed below.
“Mr. Lu, a person called Jiang Yao wants to see you. He said he’s from Tian Chen Corporation. Do you want to see him?”
The man in the wheelchair had a thin blanket draped over his legs. His shoulders and chest were perfectly straight. The light shone on him, but there was nothing wrong with him—except that he was a cripple!
“Jiang Yao?”
Lu Zhi’s fair hand was still holding his phone. The phone screen stopped at a chat box, and his fingers tapped on the phone case.
“Who is he?”
When combined, it was a frivolous sentence: Who is Jiang Yao?
His tone was not disdainful. It was just calm and straightforward, but it was like the sharpest slap in the face. Jiang Yao would definitely be so ashamed that he could not raise his head if he was standing in front of him at this moment.
The bodyguard did not dare to look up and whispered, “He said he’s from Tian Chen Corporation.”
“Heh.” A disdainful laugh came from the man’s throat. He seemed to be amused. His deep black eyes were like a bottomless lake. “So? Must I see him if he’s from Tian Chen Corporation?”
His tone was filled with teasing as if he was just joking. “Do you know how many people there are in the entire Tian Chen Corporation? Will I be able to rest if everyone wants to see me?”
The bodyguard, who was nearly 1.9 meters tall and looked like a moving iron tower, turned pale. His back was immediately drenched in a cold sweat.
He was so frightened that he did not dare to look up. He immediately said nervously, “Yes, Mr. Lu. I’ll reject him immediately.”
Lu Zhi did not even look up, as if he could not be bothered with him.
The bodyguard went out quietly and closed the door.
The suite fell silent again. Lu Zhi raised his wrist and picked up the glass beside him. The glass was filled with vodka.
He brought the rim of the glass to his lips and took a sip, draining half the glass in one gulp, then put it back.
He seemed to be casually talking to the person in the living room. “Nian Nian replied to me.”
“What did she say?”
There was someone else in the living room. It was a woman. She was young, very young. Her facial features were not outstanding. She was the kind of person who would be inconspicuous in a crowd.
She was wearing a small black tank top that revealed her trained and strong shoulders. Below was a pair of camouflage pants that were tucked into long leather boots.
She did not look outstanding, but her figure was extremely outstanding.
She exuded maturity and valiance that young girls did not possess.
Lu Zhi smiled. He had not seen the sun for a long time, and his skin was very fair. The light shone down from above his head, and it was as if he could see the purple veins under his cold white skin. The thousands of stars in front of the French window fell into his eyes, but he covered his thin lips as if he was joking. “Guess.”
“…”
Lu Zhi smiled and adjusted the blanket on his lap indifferently. His voice was soft and cold. “She said that the reason she participated in the competition was that she wanted to be number one in the world.”
He clicked his tongue again when he finished.
“She wants to be number one in the world, so ran to participate in this boring competition. That’s the funniest joke I’ve heard recently!”
