After leaving the cemetery, Lu Yu hailed a cab and arrived in front of the Victory Group building located in the bustling area of LA City.
Victory Group, one of the well-known enterprises in LA City, is quite famous and represents a cornerstone of the local economy. Standing in front of the Victory Group, looking up at the towering modern structure, Lu Yu's face showed a hint of reminiscence.
Once upon a time, this building, which he used to detest, now felt unexpectedly familiar.
Thinking of this, he shook his head helplessly and slowly stepped forward to the entrance of the Victory Group.
"Hello sir, is there anything we can help you with?"
Having no identification, Lu Yu was immediately greeted by two pretty receptionist ladies at the entrance of the Shengtian Group Building, who smiled and asked him.
"I'm looking for Leng Qingqiu," Lu Yu glanced at the ladies in front and said calmly.
"Leng Qingqiu?"
The receptionist, hearing Lu Yu's words, thought for a moment. The name felt familiar, but she couldn't recall who it was.
At this time, a man in a suit walked over, sized up Lu Yu, and asked the receptionist, "What's going on? Who is this?"
"Manager Qi, we're not sure either, but he said he's looking for Leng Qingqiu!" the receptionist responded.
"Leng Qingqiu?" Manager Qi was slightly taken aback by the receptionist's words.
Leng Qingqiu was indeed the president of Victory Group.
Thinking of this, not a trace of contempt appeared in Manager Qi's eyes as he impatiently said to Lu Yu, "There's no such person here, you should leave."
Hearing Manager Qi's words, Lu Yu shook his head. In five years, this city truly had changed, even the managers at the door had become these clothes-seeing, people-ignoring gatekeepers.
Lu Yu was dressed in ordinary jeans and casual wear, looking extremely laid-back. This nonchalance was precisely the source of Manager Qi's disdain.
Thinking of this, Lu Yu had no desire to talk to Manager Qi. He just turned around and walked directly into the lobby of Victory Group.
"Hey, you lousy beggar, you sure are impolite," seeing Lu Yu, Manager Qi became furious, directly blocking Lu Yu's path and said, "Look at your status, you think you can just waltz into Victory Group in those rags? Go take a good look at yourself!"
Hearing this, Lu Yu's eyes flashed with a hint of coldness. He took a deep breath, shrugged, relaxed his expression, and said to Manager Qi, "I like using mirrors, unlike you, acting like a person but checking yourself out in puddles every day."
Pfft!
As soon as Lu Yu said this, the receptionist ladies couldn't help but burst into laughter. Lu Yu's retort was spot on, returning Manager Qi's sarcasm right back at him.
Hearing Lu Yu's words, anger flashed across Manager Qi's face as he shouted, "Security, throw this ugly beggar out for me!"
At his words, several burly security guards stood up and approached Lu Yu.
Looking at the security guards in front of him, Lu Yu remained calm, as if the guards were no match for him at all.
"Brother, please, don't make this hard for us," one of the security guards said to Lu Yu.
"I said I want to see Leng Qingqiu."
Lu Yu's eyes darkened, scanning the security personnel, "I won't leave until I see her."
"Hey, you lousy beggar, you've got some nerve, huh? Security, stop talking and just throw him out!" Manager Qi sneered coldly.
"Sorry, brother!"
At Manager Qi's words, a security guard reached for Lu Yu's shoulder with a big hand.
In that instant, Lu Yu's eyes flashed with a cold, alert look, one that only a beast in defense mode would show.
In a flash, Lu Yu nimbly caught the guard's hand and abruptly flipped him, pinning the guard to the ground.
Witnessing this, everyone present was taken aback. Victory Group's security guards were all former military service members, reputed for their skills. Yet, the seemingly frail Lu Yu had pinned one down effortlessly, shocking everyone.
"I don't want to use force, don't push me," Lu Yu stated, pressing the guard to the ground. "Especially the one who looks in puddles every day."
Pfft!
His words made the receptionists laugh again.
"Bastard!" Manager Qi fumed and shouted to the surrounding guards, "What are you standing there for? Use the stun batons, knock him out, and throw him out!"
Hearing Manager Qi's orders, two guards picked up stun batons, pointed them at Lu Yu's back, and warned, "Let him go, or we'll use them!"
The guards were ready to press the stun baton buttons.
"What are you doing!?"
Suddenly, a clear voice rang out. Not far away, a beautiful woman in white stood at the Victory Group entrance, frowning at the crowd.
The woman had a stern expression, a lovely visage, especially her ample bosom, giving off a seductive allure. And her pair of long, straight legs highlighted her graceful figure.
This woman was none other than Leng Qingqiu, the president of Victory Group.
"President Leng!"
Seeing Leng Qingqiu, Manager Qi hurriedly ran over and said, "There's a filthy beggar here, claiming he wants to see you!"
"A beggar?"
Leng Qingqiu frowned at Manager Qi's words, then approached Lu Yu and instructed the guards, "Release him."
Upon Leng Qingqiu's words, the guard slowly withdrew the stun baton, and Lu Yu released the guard on the ground, rising to meet her gaze.
"You came to see me because…"
Leng Qingqiu started, but then stopped mid-sentence, shocked. She stared at Lu Yu for a moment, exclaimed in surprise, "Are you Lu Yu!? You're alive?!"
Her words were full of shock, her face displaying incredulity.
Leng Qingqiu could hardly believe her eyes; her fiancé, missing for five years, was somehow standing before her!
More astonished was the nearby receptionist and guards, who never expected this seemingly poor beggar actually knew the president!
