"But I've grown it. Come with me to the press - conference venue, and you'll see for yourself."
Hearing Lu Chuanbai's words, Lu Fenglin couldn't help but scoff and gave Lu Chuanbai a cold look.
"Brother, just tell Mr. Smith the truth directly. There's no need to deceive him."
Ye Shao took the opportunity to throw an olive branch to Mr. Smith: "Mr. Smith, how about making a bet? Let's bet on whether Lu Chuanbai has grown the grass."
"If Lu Chuanbai hasn't grown the grass, then come and cooperate with my company."
Mr. Smith glanced at Ye Shao out of the corner of his eye.
He finally understood that Ye Shao wasn't really Lu Chuanbai's friend at all. He was clearly a business competitor seeking cooperation.
Mr. Smith looked at Lu Chuanbai. Based on his understanding of Lu Chuanbai, he immediately agreed: "Sure."
During their previous encounter, Mr. Smith found that Lu Chuanbai was a very sincere person.
If Lu Chuanbai really hadn't grown the grass, he would definitely have told him.
Lu Chuanbai looked up and met Mr. Smith's trusting eyes. A warm feeling welled up in his heart.
As the saying goes, the business world is like a battlefield. A big - shot like Mr. Smith should understand this better.
Unexpectedly, Mr. Smith was willing to trust him.
He was indeed the right business partner he had chosen. He was worth cooperating with.
The candid attitudes of these two men made Lu Fenglin and Ye Shao sense something was off. They glanced at each other and saw disbelief in each other's eyes.
Lu Chuanbai clearly hadn't prepared anything. Where did he get the confidence to regain Mr. Smith's trust?
Lu Chuanbai helped Mr. Smith carry his luggage and elegantly made a gesture of invitation: "Mr. Smith, let's go."
Seeing that Lu Chuanbai and Mr. Smith were about to leave, Lu Fenglin and Ye Shao quickly drove after them.
The press - conference venue had already been set up. The wheat seedlings buried in the soil had grown lush and green, looking extremely charming.
When Lu Fenglin and Ye Shao saw the expanse of green, they were completely stunned.
Lu Fenglin stepped on the green wheat seedlings, feeling a sense of unreality all over. He murmured to himself: "It's impossible. I clearly warned the nearby turf suppliers not to sell turf to Lu Chuanbai..."
"Where did Lu Chuanbai get the turf from..."
Ye Shao's face was extremely ugly. He glared at Lu Fenglin with a black face, full of anger at being betrayed.
"Lu Fenglin, how did you promise me back then!"
"You clearly said you would help me win Mr. Smith over, but now you've pushed Mr. Smith further away!"
Originally, they had planned to act as just messengers and talk to Mr. Smith. But now, seeing the green grass everywhere, Mr. Smith would only think they were lying.
After venting his anger, Ye Shao turned around and left, cursing in his heart and vowing never to trust Lu Fenglin again.
Lu Fenglin was so unreliable!
Lu Fenglin was too much. He had helped Lu Fenglin with so many things, but Lu Fenglin couldn't even handle this small matter well!
He was so disappointed!
"Ye Shao, please listen to my explanation. I really tried my best..."
Seeing his good friend leaving, Lu Fenglin quickly chased after him.
Seeing Lu Fenglin and Ye Shao quarreling, the corners of Lu Chuanbai's lips curled up in a confident and cunning smile.
Those who tried to fight against him would end up not knowing how they died.
Mr. Smith was very satisfied with the green grass. He said with a smile: "Lu Chuanbai, you've really done it."
"Only by protecting our earth well can we make our living environment more comfortable!"
"Your grassland is so beautiful. I was right to trust you!"
Hearing Mr. Smith's generous praise, Lu Chuanbai was modest: "Thank you for your trust, Mr. Smith. Let's start the press conference then."
Lu Chuanbai led Mr. Smith onto the stage to give a speech. The whole press conference went very smoothly.
At the gathering, several shareholders of the Lu Group also came.
The noble - lady shareholder, who was Huang Wenxin's grandma, didn't give Lu Chuanbai a good look. Her old face was pulled longer than a donkey's, looking as if Lu Chuanbai owed her money.
The noble lady rushed in front of Lu Chuanbai and impatiently questioned him.
"Lu Chuanbai, why did you fire my Huang Wenxin!"
"My Huang Wenxin has such an outstanding resume. You've lost a genius. Don't you understand!"
Sure enough, every family praises their own foolish children. Huang Wenxin's skills were so poor. The noble lady didn't know how she could praise her like that.
Hearing the noble lady shifting the blame, Lu Chuanbai smiled and explained: "Ms. Huang, Huang Wenxin wasn't fired by me. She voluntarily resigned and even gave me her resignation letter."
"Do you want me to show you the resignation letter?"
Lu Chuanbai kind of wanted to see the noble lady's face when she saw Huang Wenxin's resignation letter.
It was a pity that he had thrown away that resignation letter. He said this just to deceive the noble lady.
Hearing this, the noble lady looked at Lu Chuanbai suspiciously, not believing a word.
"You're not lying to me, are you!"
"My Wenxin never lies. She told me that you fired her."
Huang Wenxin was afraid that if she said she had voluntarily resigned, the noble lady would be angry, so she simply shifted all the blame to Lu Chuanbai.
Huang Wenxin was not good at work, but she was quite good at making up lies.
Lu Chuanbai wondered if his temper had become better since he was with Xu Qingqing, which made these people dare to refute him to his face.
"Ms. Huang, don't you believe what I say? With your niece's degree bought with money, if I kept her, I wouldn't fire her."
Although Lu Chuanbai was still smiling, he gave off a completely different feeling. There was a hint of evil and coldness that seeped behind the noble lady.
The noble lady shivered with cold but still stubbornly straightened her back and stared at Lu Chuanbai.
"My niece never lies..."
"Do you dare to call your niece here? I'll confront her face - to - face." Lu Chuanbai's tone gradually became impatient.
He had tried his best to suppress his emotions. Why did there always be some blind people who wanted to provoke him?
The noble lady came to cause trouble for Lu Chuanbai on purpose because her niece had given up a good job. She didn't expect Lu Chuanbai to completely lose his temper.
The noble lady definitely didn't dare to call Huang Wenxin here for confrontation. Her face was extremely ugly, and she said coldly.
"If you didn't fire her, just say so directly. Why do you have to belittle my Huang Wenxin!"
After realizing that she was in the wrong, the noble lady simply started to be unreasonable.
"I'm telling you, there are many companies vying for my Huang Wenxin!"
"Great. Then let your Huang Wenxin go to other companies quickly. Don't ruin the Lu Group anymore."
Lu Chuanbai didn't hold back and told the truth.
The other shareholders who originally wanted to question Lu Chuanbai saw him return to his usual sarcastic and tough - guy mode. They didn't dare to step forward and talk to him anymore.
