Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

After watching Lu Dong’s car leave, Yu Zhao raised her head and looked at Lu Kun. “What do we do now?”

“Let’s go and eat hotpot.”

Yu Zhao and Lu Kun walked into the hot pot restaurant.

The hot pot restaurant was filled with the smell of mala spicy and fresh meat, which whetted people’s appetites.

After ordering a few signature dishes, Yu Zhao picked up the kettle on the table and poured herself a full cup of tea.

Lu Kun glanced at her and said with a smile, “The tea in this hot pot restaurant is very good. I heard that the owner imported the Longjing tea from Yunnan by air. His tea-making skills are first-class. Let’s try it.”

Yu Zhao picked up the teacup, brought it to her nose, and sniffed it. She nodded in agreement. “It does smell good.”

“By the way, why isn’t it you who’s going to the company, but ninth brother?” Yu Zhao couldn’t help but be curious.

Lu Dong and Lu Kun were biological brothers. Due to some reasons, Lu Dong had retired from the army early and had set up a company in the capital. Now, the company’s business development was doing very well.

But Yu Zhao didn’t know much about the details.

Lu Kun rolled his eyes at her and said, “You should know the ninth brother’s personality. He doesn’t like to go to the company. Do you think he’s willing to manage that pile of sh*t?”

Yu Zhao nodded, “You’re right. He’s not suitable to manage a company with his personality.”

“But…” She paused. “Since he doesn’t like companies, why did he start one? He has nothing better to do than to do a bunch of troublesome projects!”

“Uh…” Lu Kun was speechless for a moment before he smiled and said, “That’s just how he is. He never considers the pros and cons of everything he does. He likes to pursue the results and does what he says. He’s never afraid of anything!”

Yu Zhao shrugged his shoulders and changed the topic. “But there’s one more thing I forgot to tell you. I’ve almost done communicating with the Jiang family’s young master.”

“As expected my Sister Yu. You’re ruthless and don’t talk much.” Lu Kun gave her a thumbs-up.

“He even wants me to join RZ.” Yu Zhao took a sip of hot tea and said, “However, I’m sorry to have rejected it.”

“From what I know, RZ is a place that all young people dream of joining. But you’re not joining. Why?” Lu Kun could not understand.

In his opinion, Yu Zhao could have had a better future if she entered RZ rather than hiding in the base of Blue Star.

“Why must I join? The main purpose of my return is to find the secret information that I lost,” said Yu Zhao lightly.

“But RZ is also an important place. If you find out something…”

“No, no, no,” Yu Zhao interrupted Lu Kun, “To me, all roads lead to Rome. Why should I join RZ?”

Lu Kun was convinced and no longer spoke.

After the meal, Lu Kun was about to send Yu Zhao back to school when a nanny van suddenly stopped in front of them. A small team of bodyguards alighted from the car and blocked their way.

“I’m sorry. The ninth brother would like to invite both of you,” said the bodyguard respectfully.

Yu Zhao didn’t have any objections. She walked around the bodyguards and got into the car.

There were still many people waiting in line for food in front of the hot pot restaurant. When they saw this lineup, they couldn’t help but be frightened. Some people even thought that something had happened.

After a while, the car stopped in front of an 88-story building. The bodyguards lined up in two rows to welcome Yu Zhao and Lu Kun.

This pomp made people feel the power of authority.

They took the elevator to the 66th floor. When the elevator door opened, they could not take their eyes off the expensive decorations.

“Please.” The bodyguards stood on both sides and opened up a path for them.

Yu Zhao nodded and walked forward. Just as she passed by a female employee, she was grabbed by a slender and soft arm.

“Girl, please wait.”

Yu Zhao looked up at the person who had come.

The woman was about 30 years old and was wearing a professional dress. Her long, curly black hair fell to her waist. Her delicate and beautiful appearance made the bodyguards around her pale in comparison. There was a faint smile on her mouth, and there was a hint of charm between her brows.

“Is there anything?”

Yu Zhao looked at her and felt that he had seen this lady somewhere before.

“What is your relationship with Lu Dong?” The woman suddenly approached her. Her tone was light. But if one listened carefully, it was not difficult to hear a trace of danger in her tone.

Almost instantly, Yu Zhao reacted and quickly pulled away from her.

The woman also noticed that Yu Zhao’s vigilance was extremely high, and her eyes turned from charming to fierce. “Who are you?”

Yu Zhao looked at her coldly and said in a deep voice, “It doesn’t matter who I am, but you better not touch me. Otherwise, I can’t guarantee what I’ll do.”
