Anping Mine.
A group of high-ranking officials, the mine director, key staff, and the reception team... stood lined up on both sides to welcome them.
The convoy slowly drove into the office compound. Firecrackers went off in the courtyard, the band began playing a welcoming tune, and all the officials present applauded to welcome CEO Lu on his inspection tour.
An extended business van shook violently.
Everyone applauded for ages, yet there was no movement. The band had finished playing, the firecrackers had all gone off, but the door remained closed, and the vehicle was still shaking.
The welcoming party was utterly baffled.
Old Ma was stunned too. He walked over to see what was going on, but Zhao Gang stopped him. "Old Ma, wait for CEO Lu."
"Why isn't CEO Lu getting out?"
Zhao Gang scratched his head. "He... still has something to finish."
Old Ma had an unpleasant suspicion, but surely Lu Chengwen, no matter how outrageous he was, would not be this outrageous, right!?
But the vehicle really was shaking...
Old Ma said, "Everyone's waiting. Could you have CEO Lu... hurry up?"
Zhao Gang said, "Sir, acquiring a mining operation is a major matter. You want to make CEO Lu's money, so you need to make him happy for things to go smoothly, right?"
"That makes sense, but..."
Just then, the car door opened.
Lu Chengwen got out, red-faced and straightening his shirt. He had not even caught his breath. "Oh, Old Ma!"
Lu Chengwen came over and shook his hand. "Sorry to keep you waiting."
Qi Meishao then crawled out of the vehicle, tugged her skirt down, and grabbed Lu Chengwen. "My lord... um..."
"Hm? What?"
Qi Meishao leaned close and whispered into Lu Chengwen's ear, "Sister Shi Yin tied it... and I can't untie it."
