Chapter 1207: In 1206, Liang Lu had connections.
After sending Tan Rou and Liang Lu to the hospital, Zhuang Liu left. He had promised Tan Rou to find Zhou Xing for Liang Lu, so he had to hurry to Huayuan Building to prevent Zhou Xing from escaping after hearing any rumors.
The doctor examined Liang Lu and initially diagnosed her with a slight concussion, so she needed to be hospitalized for observation for a few days. Tan Rou could not stay with Liang Lu as she had a lot of business to take care of and didn’t have the time to accompany her.
However, she couldn’t leave Liang Lu alone in the hospital and Lu Qing couldn’t get back in time, so Tan Rou had no choice but to find someone else to take care of Liang Lu. There were plenty of attendants in the hospital, so she hired one for Liang Lu.
Meanwhile, Zhuang Liu had already entered the Huayuan Building. As this was a task given to him by Tan Rou, he had to handle it personally.
Xiao Mo said, “Head of the Zhuang family, let us handle this matter. Our people have been around the building all the time, keeping an eye on things; they won’t let Zhou Xing get away. You should go back to Miss Rou.”
Zhuang Liu replied, “Since I promised Tan Rou to resolve this matter, I must see Zhou Xing in person. He’s a very cautious and intelligent man; we can’t give him time to react.”
“Then I’ll go with you,” Xiao Mo offered.
Zhuang Liu looked at him, “Of course you’re going in. If you don’t go in, who will communicate with the reception? It certainly can’t be me asking the reception, can it?”
With a smile, Xiao Mo said, “Good, I’ll go make the appointment right now.
He led the way, with Zhuang Liu following behind. They hadn’t even entered the building when the security guard stopped them.
“Who are you? Whom are you looking for? Do you have an appointment?” the security guard asked aggressively.
Xiao Mo straightened his attire and offered a gentle smile, “Hello, our boss would like to meet with Mr. Zhou Xing from the eighteenth floor, please let us through.”
The security guard looked them over, seeing that although they were cleanly dressed, they seemed like mere employees, so he responded arrogantly, “Mr. Zhou Xing is indeed on the eighteenth floor, but he’s very busy and doesn’t have the time to see you. It’s better if you make an appointment and then come back.”
Xiao Mo glanced at Zhuang Liu, who then said, “Tell him Zhuang Liu of the Zhuang family is looking for Zhou Xing.” The most foolish thing that Zhuang Liu had ever done was to actively seek someone without an appointment. If it wasn’t for Tan Rou, he would never have done such a thing.
“Zhuang Liu? Who is that? Never heard of him.” The security guard only cared about the affairs inside the building, not who was outside it.
Xiao Mo almost laughed – it was truly rare to find someone in the Capital who didn’t know their boss.
Zhuang Liu’s expression turned sour as he said to Xiao Mo, “Get Zhou Xing’s phone number and call him directly, let’s not waste any more time here.”
Suppressing his laughter, Xiao Mo started searching for Zhou Xing’s phone number. As Zhuang Liu’s most capable assistant, Xiao Mo had impressive business skills, especially in tracking people down. It didn’t take long before he found Zhou Xing’s number and contacted him using his work phone.
Zhou Xing came down quickly, looking somewhat haggard, but still managed to smile upon seeing Zhuang Liu, “What brings Mr. Zhuang to my place today?”
Though smiling, he was quite puzzled inside. Had he offended Zhuang Liu in some way? Why had he come here?
“Mr. Zhou, I have a business matter I’d like to discuss with you,” Zhuang Liu said with a smile. “I wonder if you still remember Liang Guo and Guo Xia?”
Zhou Xing’s face immediately changed color, but he maintained his composure, “Who Mr. Zhuang is referring to? I don’t seem to know them?”
Zhuang Liu continued, “You might not know now, but you will in a moment. Let me remind you, if you back off now, this matter might be resolved easily. But if you insist on continuing, don’t blame us for not being polite.”
Zhou Xing became nervous. He wasn’t afraid of Liang Lu alone, but if Zhuang Liu was backing her, then he needed to think carefully.
“It’s not convenient to talk here. Would Mr. Zhuang please come upstairs with me to discuss in detail?” Zhou Xing said with a smile.
Zhuang Liu made a signal to Xiao Mo, who immediately pressed his phone, then followed Zhuang Liu up to the eighteenth floor.
