Korean songs, I can’t understand them. However, songs that I can’t understand can generally be quite pleasing if they have a good rhythm and the singers have good vocal qualities. Moreover, they are like four flowers each with its own unique beauty in spring chrysanthemums and autumn orchids. When they saw the dry ice smoke swirling below the stage, they immediately gave Lu Liang a grateful look. Their work demeaned them, reduced them to playthings, but they also hoped for respect, even if just a little. Thus, they sang and danced with even more effort. Their impressive figures trembled along with the music, noticeably natural, at least not padded. "In such a long journey, there are far distances to be traversed.” Lu Liang expressed his admiration, and with crossed legs, he drank the beer imported from the East Country, sincerely feeling emotional. Having fun also requires a certain knowledge, how to have fun and enjoy oneself thoroughly, there are too many twists and turns involved. Becoming wealthy, just within two and a half years, compared to these wealthy conglomerates for decades, he was just a nouveau riche. Lu Liang thought of those in the Squid Clan in the West, they were the true financial behemoths, dominating globally following the rise of the United States. These Han City conglomerates were merely pawns, mutilated by military, economic, and even cultural castrations. They have ruled the global economy for over a century, and they must play the game even more extravagantly, even more perversely. Just at that moment, the door to the private room was suddenly pushed open, Li Xuanhong entered with a broad smile and in good spirits. Seeing the floating dry ice, he assumed Lu Liang might be uncomfortable and decisively picked up the remote to activate the ‘rainforest’ mode. Li Xuanhong slightly swayed his body and laughed, “Mr. Lu, please don’t hold back, a drenched dance has its own charm.” The sudden cold downpour, like a laser gun, sprayed from all directions of the stage. The four singing and dancing women were caught by surprise, and the lead dancer, Jisoo, unexpectedly slipped, falling with a loud thud. This caused the water to splash, most of it landing on Li Xuanhong, with a few droplets reaching further, splashing onto Lu Liang’s face. Lu Liang instinctively touched his cheek. Silence fell over the entire venue, the booming music was unable to revive the frozen atmosphere. Assistant Park, terrified, quickly took out a wet wipe to wipe it off, “Mr. Lu, I’m very sorry, extremely sorry.” Seeing this, Li Xuanhong could not suppress his anger, “Damn it A torrent of cursing ensued, as if scolding alone wasn’t enough to vent his frustration. Li Xuanhong was the host today only because the chairman was away. If Lu Liang said something about this to the chairman, his career would be over. Overcome with anger, Li Xuanhong suddenly grabbed a beer bottle from the table and threw it hard toward the stage. With a crash, the glass bottle shattered. Several screams ensued, all four women were variously injured, but Jisoo, who was lying on the ground, was injured the most severely, with several large glass shards cutting through her arm, blood seeping out bright red. "Li Xuanhong, what did Zheng Xuanyi say?” Lu Liang furrowed his brows and called out directly; he was starting to get angry, not at the girl group’s mistake, but at their dehumanizing attitude. "Don’t just stand there, kneel and apologize to Mr. Lu.” Li Xuanhong grinned, clearly misunderstanding. He thought Lu Liang was upset because of the girl group’s mistake spoiling his refined taste. The background music abruptly stopped, the women, terrified, did not care about the glass on the floor, they quickly kneeled and repeatedly apologized. With the ‘rainforest’ mode still active, the women kneeling on the ground had their hair and clothes completely wet, making the shirts cling tightly and visibly outlining their figures. Lowering one’s head to the ground, kneeling is considered a profound disgrace, a cultural aspect unique to East Country, but in Japan and South Korea, kneeling in apology, even within a company, if one commits a mistake, is quite normal. "Everyone stand up.” Lu Liang sighed, and asked again, “What exactly did Zheng Xuanyi say?” The incumbent chairman of Hyundai Group was Zheng Xuanyi, the eldest grandson of the founder Zheng Yongzhou. Li Xuanhong, with a smile plastered on his face, replied, “The chairman said to convey that he’s looking forward to working with you and Mitsui Sumitomo, he will be back in Han City by noon tomorrow and will meet with you in person to discuss in detail.” Lu Liang slightly nodded, “I too look forward to meeting Mr. Zheng tomorrow.” Afterward, they agreed to meet tomorrow at two in the afternoon, and he signaled Fang Shiyu to prepare the car as he was ready to take his leave. Li Xuanhong spoke up, trying to hold him back, “Mr. Lu, if you are not satisfied with them, let me bring a few others for you.” The chairman had given him a strict command to keep Lu Liang with Hyundai Group until his return and to not let him meet anyone else. Lu Liang’s international achievements were evident to all, and inviting them to join the project was simply to counterbalance Mitsui Sumitomo. This also meant that they were just one choice, not the only one, as Korea had at least five other groups that met the criteria. High stakes and fortunes, like a duck to water, if it still flew away, then his presidency would have come to an end. "I’m not dissatisfied, just a bit tired.” Lu Liang had been interested, but that interest vanished with the smashing of a wine bottle. Now, he just wanted to return to the hotel, take a bath, have a spa treatment, and then go to sleep. "Then let me take you.” Li Xuanhong hesitated, not daring to insist on detaining him, and looked at the women still kneeling on the stage with a fierce expression in his eyes. It was all due to these wretched women, whose actions filled his future with uncertainty. Should their sure thing fly away, they would undeniably be to blame. Their harsh glances made the women tremble, as if they could imagine the cruel punishments they would soon endure. Seeing Lu Liang about to leave, Jisoo, enduring the pain, almost pleaded in her broken Chinese, “Can you help us?” Due to her mistake, all this had happened. If she didn’t speak up now, her whole team would suffer. If Lu Liang agreed, Li Xuanhong wouldn’t dare do anything to them; if Lu Liang refused, she could still draw his attention away from her sisters. Lu Liang stopped in his tracks, realizing they were a girl group with East Country as their biggest market, so speaking a bit of Chinese wasn’t strange. Beside them, Li Xuanhong, who understood through a translator what Jisoo was saying, looked incredibly upset. In his presence, her pleading for help from a stranger clearly made Lu Liang misunderstand what he would do to them. Though he was that kind of person, he couldn’t appear so in front of Lu Liang, nor could he admit to it, as it would be slanderous. As Li Xuanhong started to explain, Lu Liang raised his hand to cut him off, looking at Jisoo, “Come with me.” Lisa, her face showing envy, quickly revealed her slight understanding of Chinese, “Mr. Lu, can I come with Suzy? She’s hurt and is having trouble walking.” She had just covertly checked Wikipedia and found out that Lu Liang was a corporate tycoon in the international arena. Unlike Suzy’s forced choice, she was eager to climb into Lu Liang’s bed and leap social classes. Without hesitation, Lu Liang said, “Then come along.” "Thank you, Mr. Lu.” Lisa, overjoyed, picked up her bag and jacket to cover the water stains on them. "Mr. Lu, have a fun night.” Under Li Xuanhong’s obsequious smile and respectful gaze, Lisa supported Jisoo as they left Ming Tower Hotel with Lu Liang. Passing a small hospital, the ever-silent Lu Liang suddenly said, “Stop the car.” Sёarch* The nôvel_Fire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Turning to the two women, “Get out.” He took them out only because of his kindness, especially to those unrelated to his interests, feeling a faint compassion. If he had pleaded for them, given Li Xuanhong’s exposed aggressiveness, it would certainly have been ignored. It was best to take them away directly, without any need for explanations. After all, Boss Lu’s fondness for women was an open secret within the circle; with so many lice, itchiness was no concern. The two women were stunned, especially Lisa, who had even been fantasizing about ruling over Korean Entertainment. Yet reality struck hard, now stepping out of the car without having climbed into Lu Liang’s bed, how could she ever become wildly successful? Gradually, realization dawned on Jisoo’s face; Lu Liang taking them was not out of affection but out of pity. In the confined space, she deeply bowed, sincerely saying “Thank you,” opened the car door, and led Lisa out. The two stood by the roadside, their hair still wet, resembling two drenched chickens, watching the black Mercedes drive away. Lisa, visibly unhappy, said, “Suzy, don’t you realize? This was our chance.” Being with one man is better than being with a group. Lu Liang in his thirties, refined and gentlemanly, must be quite a man. Unlike old lechers, lustful yet impotent, who satisfy their pathological psyche by constantly tormenting them. "Let’s go, he’s not interested in us.” Suzy said bitterly. It’s not just Lu Liang, sometimes, she even despised herself, living a life neither human nor ghostly. Occasionally standing by the window, she’d think, just one step forward could end this painful life. "Suzy, effort must be rewarded, otherwise what was the point of all these years?” said Lisa, her eyes firm. She was not afraid, nor did she regret, for she had chosen this path herself.
