Chapter 1001 - Why Does She Have To Look Good?
'What's the need of smiling?' Lu Lijun frowned inwardly.
He didn't know why but he was sure he didn't like it.
Jiang Yuyan hardly smiled at anyone from the business world, but she did for Wen Zac, which showed she was close to him.
Wen Zac turned to Lu Lijun to welcome them as he smiled and shook hands with Lu Lijun and Xiao Min.
Though Wen Zac was a good man, Lu Lijun felt hostility towards him, which he hid the best way possible.
For now, it was just Wen Zac, but soon so many people came to greet President Lu. Xiao Min was there to handle them as he knew his boss didn't like to talk much.
Xiao Min also introduced Lu Lijun to everyone who came to greet Jiang Yuyan. Though Lu Lijun didn't like it, he had to greet them back. He felt suffocated with so many unknown people around him, trying to get closer to him as he was the future of Lu Corporation.
Jiang Yuyan left him to talk to them and sided away. Though Lu Lijun spoke to others, his mind wandered to Jiang Yuyan, who was busy talking to every new person coming to her.
Completing the formality of accepting greetings, Lu Lijun excused himself and went away.
Suddenly Lu Lijun noticed so many men looking at Jiang Yuyan, willing to talk to her. Though those seemed normal stares, Lu Lijun didn't like it when they all wanted to talk to her and came to greet her. She was surrounded by so many of them, not talking much and nodding to most of the things they said.
"Why does she have to look good? Can't be a bit simple?" Lu Lijun frowned inwardly.
"To me, President Lu is the most simple-looking person here."
Someone said, and Lu Lijun recognized the voice.
It was Noah who came along with Jake.
When they entered the hall, they saw Lu Lijun surrounded by so many people and getting away from them. When the two joined him, they heard what he said.
"President Lu is impressive the way she is, so what can she do?" Noah added.
In reality, Jiang Yuyan did nothing, and she was simple as usual. But this pretty woman never needed anything special to make her look attractive that could make others stare at her without blinking. The way she carried herself and the image she had earned during all those years was enough of a jewel to her.
Lu Lijun frowned and mumbled again, "Those men, what's there to talk so much? Are they getting business lessons from her?"
Hearing these words from jealous Lu Lijun, Noah laughed a little, and Jake smiled, controlling his laughter.
"Should I say you are so cute like this?" Noah asked.
"Are you here to piss me off?" Lu Lijun glared at his friend.
"Okay, My bad," Noah stopped.
The two friends couldn't stop smiling, seeing the way Lu Lijun reacted and the way he was feeling annoyed looking at so many men surrounding Jiang Yuyan.
Just then, Lu Jinhai came with Lu Chen. Though Mr. Wen invited the entire family, the ladies in the family couldn't manage to be there because of grandma Xiao Shuang and pregnant Lu Bao.
Mr. Wen and his son went to greet Lu Jinhai and Lu Chen. They joined Jiang Yuyan and called for Lu Lijun, and the two present with them.
Everyone already knew Noah, but Jake was new there. Wen Zac had already welcomed Jake, and there were not so many people who knew him. Wen Zac introduced him to his father while Lu Jinhai was already aware of who Jake was.
It was the first time when Jake met Lu Lijun's father and greeted him.
"When I was in England, I didn't get a chance to meet you, but I'm glad we finally got to meet," said Lu Jinhai, looking at the tall, handsome and impressive British man.
"It's my pleasure," Jake said politely.
Because of his western looks, Jake was already a point of attraction for most people, and they inquired about who he was. The moment they got to know, everyone wanted to meet him.
"So Mr. Jake is Lu Lijun's friend," Mr. Wen asked, looking at Jake and Lu Lijun.
"Yes," Jake replied while Lu Lijun just nodded.
Mr. Wen looked at Lu Lijun, "One can guess the ability of a person by what kind of friends they have, and I'm happy that you know who to befriend with."
"Wrong choice of words," Noah mumbled that only Jake could hear and smiled lightly, agreeing to Noah. They knew Lu Lijun wouldn't like it.
"Mr. Wen added again, "Good to know you have such friends."
"I don't make friends based on their status," Lu Lijun countered.
The two friends smiled lightly as they expected the same from his friend.
Mr. Wen was taken aback by this reply, but he liked it, "Good to know you think like that." Wr Wen Looked at Lu Jinhai, "This is why I always liked Lu Qiang, and now Lu Lijun is the same. No wonder they are your sons, so straightforward."
Lu Jinhai just smiled, accepting what Mr. Wen said, and felt proud for his son.
The more Mr. Wen met Lu Lijun, the more he felt fond of him as Lu Lijun never acted coy. Lu Lijun always showed what he was. Mr. Wen was a nice person who had a good sight for the excellent character people.
Other than Mr. Wen, no one was surprised to get such a reply from Lu Lijun as they knew how Lu Lijun was. Jiang Yuyan was silent and let them talk.
Ming Rusheng arrived at the venue with Lu Lian. These two worked together on the project, and as the occasion was to celebrate the start of the project, Ming Rusheng offered Lu Lian to go with him.
Lu Lian was there as Ming Industries representative and not as a member of the Lu family.
Everyone looked at one more handsome man in a black suit, who came with one pretty woman in light beige colour, full length, perfectly fitted evening gown.
