“What’s going on?”
“What happened?”
“Why are the imperial guards suddenly here?”
The group of reporters looked at each other, but they couldn’t hide the excitement on their faces. They had a nagging feeling that something big was going to happen today. They quickly whispered to their cameramen to find the best angle.
The sheik’s face flashed with displeasure at being disturbed. When he saw the person who walked in, he was shocked for a moment before standing up and asking, “Qin, what’s the meaning of this?”
The people who came were Eldest Master Qin and Second Master Qin.
Eldest Master Qin was in politics, and the sheik knew him.
After Eldest Master Qin walked in, he quickly exuded the aura of a superior.
He originally wanted to use his aura to suppress Li Yan, but Li Yan merely sat there with a cold expression.
Eldest Master Qin sneered in his heart. ‘I want to see if you can still maintain this expression later.’
He looked at the sheik and walked to the top of the conference table. After sitting on a chair carried over by a guard, he asked casually, “The empire is preparing to cooperate with the sheik personally regarding this project. I wonder if the sheik is interested?”
A trace of surprise flashed across the sheik’s eyes. He subconsciously glanced at Li Yan. At first, he thought that Li Yan would be angry, but he didn’t see any other expression on his face besides coldness.
The sheik subconsciously considered this proposition.
Cooperating with Blazing Glory could indeed allow him to obtain the greatest benefits. However, since Eldest Master Qin had said that he was representing the empire, by cooperating with a country, the risk would be even lower.
Second Master Qin stood behind Eldest Master Qin. At this moment, he deliberately said in a meaningful tone, “Sheik, you’d better think carefully. If you cooperate with Blazing Glory, you might lose all your money.”
The sheik suddenly looked at Li Yan. He felt that Second Master Qin was implying something. Could it be…
At this moment, Li Yan suddenly stood up.
“Li, what are you doing?”
“Since you can’t make up your mind, I’ll help you choose.”
After Li Yan finished speaking, he gave up on the hundred-billion-yuan cooperation and walked out of the door.
Eldest Master Qin and Second Master Qin looked at each other and sneered at the same time.
Li Yan was still too inexperienced to fight them.
Eldest Master Qin looked at the sheik, who had a complicated expression, and said, “Sheik, can we talk about the details of this cooperation now?”
“Erm…” The sheik hesitated for two seconds before agreeing. “Alright.”
After Li Yan walked out of the conference room and entered the elevator, Secretary Tan, who was following behind him, said to him while holding an electronic notebook, “CEO, the Qin family wants to freeze Blazing Glory’s funds in the empire, but they’ve already been transferred away by our people. The manager of the finance department asks where you want to transfer this money to.”
Since the Qin family wanted to freeze all the funds in Blazing Glory’s empire so that they could take it for themselves, Li Yan got his men to put on a facade to deceive them.
Li Yan: “Transfer it to Luoluo’s account.”
Secretary Tan was stunned for a moment before nodding. “Okay.”
Secretary Tan swiped his laptop again and said, “The Qin family intends to cause trouble for all of Blazing Glory’s companies in the Empire from midnight tonight. The Duanmu family has already taken action.”
“Stop the Duanmu family and let them explode.”
“Yes.”
When they were about to reach the ground floor, Li Yan said, “Tell Manager Shang, who is negotiating with P Country, that I’ll be right there.”
“Yes.”
Li Yan left this financial building and took a car to another international trading building not far in the same street. He was going to discuss a 200-billion-yuan cooperation with the Earl of P Country. The cooperation with AL Country was just a scheme Li Yan had personally set up for the Qin family.
The international cooperation between the Qin family and the sheik went smoothly. After the two parties signed the contract, Second Master Qin even gestured to the reporters. “Report this matter properly.”
How could the reporters not know Second Master Qin’s thoughts? They hurriedly nodded and guaranteed that the headlines today would be about this huge contract between the Qin family and the sheik.
Second Master Qin was very satisfied and even asked his subordinate to give every reporter a big red packet.
The reporters left happily with their red packets.
The sheik said to Eldest Master Qin, “It’s our country’s honor to cooperate with the empire…”
After bootlicking, he said, “I hope our cooperation can start immediately. This way, we can gain benefits as soon as possible.”
Eldest Master Qin nodded. “We will get the funds and technicians in place within the next few days.”
The sheik smiled and stood up at the same time. “Okay, I’m looking forward to our cooperation.”
Eldest Master Qin didn’t stand up and merely shook his hand.
The sheik had something to attend to and left first.
Second Master Qin gestured for the guards to close the conference room door before saying to Eldest Master Qin, “Big Brother, we have already frozen all of Blazing Glory’s funds in the empire. When are we transferring the money away?”
“There’s no hurry. The money won’t run away even after another day or two.”
Eldest Master Qin’s expression was cold. “Get our men planted in Blazing Glory to take action immediately. I want to see all the scandals of the Blazing Glory Corporation exposed before tomorrow morning.”
“Okay.”
…
When Chu Luo and Nangong Yi came out of the Education Bureau, it was already 3:30 in the afternoon.
Chu Luo came out and quickly swiped her phone.
Nangong Yi looked at her tense face and asked, “Junior, you don’t seem happy?”
Chu Luo glanced at him and couldn’t be bothered to answer.
Nangong Yi smiled faintly and deliberately said, “Do you feel afraid after hearing that a group of foreign reporters will come tomorrow?”
“There’s nothing I’m afraid of.”
After saying that, Chu Luo called Yu Tong and said to her, “Go buy some gifts now. They’ll be useful tomorrow.”
With that, she hung up.
Nangong Yi gave her a thumbs up. “Junior, you’re so thoughtful.”
“Hmph!”
Chu Luo said, “Do you think you can stand at the side and watch the show? I’ve invited many judges tomorrow. Even if someone from the World Painting Association comes, they won’t be able to do anything to me.”
“Then why were you angry just now, Junior? Are you angry that the person from the Education Bureau asked you if you could do it alone?”
“Do you think that’s possible? Besides, which eye of yours saw that I was angry?”
It was merely that her expression had turned serious after seeing that she had received a huge sum of money in her bank card.
She didn’t need to think to know what was going on with the money.
At the thought of this, Chu Luo strode towards the car and said, “You can drive.”
Nangong Yi had come here in Chu Luo’s car. When Nangong Yi said earlier that he wanted to drive, Chu Luo didn’t let him. Now that Chu Luo had given him the key, he was a little surprised and deliberately teased, “You’re finally willing to let me drive your car.”
“If I didn’t have anything to do, I definitely wouldn’t let you drive.”
“…”
The two of them walked to the car. Chu Luo walked to the back door, opened it, and got in.
Nangong Yi: “…”
He suddenly had the illusion that he was being treated as a chauffeur.
Chu Luo ignored him. After sitting in the back seat, she took out her laptop and started typing rapidly.
She wanted to hide that huge sum of money so that no one could find any clues.
The car drove for nearly an hour before arriving at Imperial University.
Chu Luo also spent an hour hiding that money.
When they arrived at Imperial University, they realized that there was a group of people around the school gate, and it was a little chaotic.
The two of them quickly got off the car and walked over.
“What’s going on?”
The moment Chu Luo spoke, the group of people around her subconsciously turned around.
Coincidentally, the people in the middle were a few foreign reporters and photographers.
Surrounding them were Imperial University students. It seemed like they had had a dispute.
When everyone saw Chu Luo, a boy heaved a sigh of relief and said, “Chu Luo, President, you’re back. These few people say that they’re foreign reporters. They heard that our Imperial University has a National University Student Painting and Calligraphy Competition and insisted on entering to film. We asked them to register, but they refused to listen.”
Chu Luo nodded and walked over.
Nangong Yi reminded her, “Junior, ask what kind of reporters they are first. If they are entertainment gossip reporters, it’s best to reject them tactfully. Also… don’t let them catch something that can distort the situation.”
Chu Luo nodded and walked to a few reporters who were stunned to see her and Nangong Yi.
The cameraman began to move to film the two of them.
Nangong Yi said, “Sorry, please don’t film us.”
After saying that, he quietly shielded Chu Luo from the side. When the surrounding people saw Nangong Yi’s action, they subconsciously walked over to block the camera.
Chu Luo looked at the reporters and asked, “May I know which country you are from? Our Imperial University has a process. If you want to enter to film, you have to first go to the embassy to get proof and then get the approval of our school heads.”
A reporter said, “We are reporters from Korea’s Entertainment Weekly. We’re here to interview Mr. Ci Jing, who is working with our Heavenly Queen.”
“Entertainment Weekly.”
When Chu Luo heard this, the corners of her lips curled up, but the words she said were domineering. “Our Imperial University has its rules. Even the internationally famous Education Weekly and World Art Magazine will have to go through the process.”
Chu Luo was talking about the most famous educational magazines in the world. The reporters looked at each other and couldn’t say anything.
However, since they were here, they didn’t intend to return empty-handed. Especially since it was an international university event organized by Imperial University. If news were to leak, it would definitely attract a lot of attention to their company.
So they decided to show off the shamelessness of entertainment reporters.
“We’re international friends. Are you going to let us return empty-handed? That’s not good, right?”
“That’s right. We came in a hurry. If we go to the embassy at this time to get proof, they’re not open at this time anyway. Is this how your country’s universities treat their international friends?”
These words made the students of Imperial University displeased.
Chu Luo raised her hand to signal everyone to calm down. A cold smile flashed across her eyes. “How about this? As long as you can answer my question, I’ll make an exception for you.”
When the reporters heard that there was a chance, their eyes lit up.
“Sure, ask away..”
