Chapter 379
"The thing is like this. For some reasons, the company temporarily contacted Hua Sheng and Lu Liang, and asked them to help the company complete a difficult matter. As for what it was, it was because of the need to protect confidentiality. I won't tell everyone.
Everyone also knows that the company treats all aliens equally, so even Lu Liang, who is all-natured, is the same.
Therefore, this matter was a misunderstanding from beginning to end, and the reason why Hua Sheng kept silent was only because I asked Hua Sheng to sign a non-disclosure agreement before leaving. "
After Zhao Fangxu finished speaking, all the guests present were suddenly enlightened.
It turned out that there was a relationship with the company, so it was no wonder that Hua Sheng, who was Lu Jin's direct disciple, would appear at the same time as Lu Liang.
After all, the times have changed now. As the official department of the country, the Human Company is dedicated to managing the Inhuman World and maintaining the stability of the Inhuman World. There are really few sects in the entire Inhuman World who dare to blatantly confront the company, and they even have to understand it. Do your best to cooperate with the company's actions.
Thinking about it this way, it's not so strange that Hua Sheng would appear in the same frame as Lu Liang.
"Is that so..."
Suspicion flashed across Lu Ci's eyes, but he didn't dare to question him directly in front of Zhao Fangxu.
"Then Zhao Dong, I don't know how you contacted that beast, can you tell me?"
"I'm sorry, Mr. Lu, I really can't answer you, everyone understands each other..."
A look of embarrassment flashed across Zhao Fangxu's face. If he helped you just now, you sold Lu Liang on the back. If things go on like this, how can anyone dare to cooperate with the company?
Moreover, when Zhang Chulan was attacked before, the company wanted to ask someone from the Lu family to help extract Chai Yan's memory, but Lu Ci directly refused at that time.
Now you want me to open the door for you, Lu Ci, regardless of the company's reputation?Do you think it fits?
"Understood, understood..." A flash of anger flashed in Lu Ci's eyes, but he still didn't dare to explode, and just nodded slowly.
"Old Wang, do you have any questions now?"
Zhao Fangxu narrowed his eyes, then turned his head to look at Wang Ai who was at the side.
"Since you have said so, Mr. Zhao, what else can I say with this old bone?"
Wang Ai clenched his fists, even though he was full of anger, he could only smash his teeth and swallow it in his stomach.
No way, Lu Ci didn't dare to offend the company, and neither did he, Wang Ai.
I thought that this time, in front of everyone, Hua Sheng, a little bastard, could be directly driven to a dead end, but after all the calculations, Zhao Fangxu would personally end up defending Hua Sheng, which really surprised Wang Ai. Not yet.
"Oh, it turned out to be such a thing, Mr. Zhao, you are really serious. You should tell me, my master, about this kind of thing. I almost blamed this brat by mistake."
Seeing that the two people in front of him calmed down and puffed up, Lu Jin's face was full of smiles at this moment.
Does he really not know?How can it be!Among other things, if Lu Jin hadn't contacted Zhao Fangxu in advance, how could Zhao Fangxu happen to show up at this time to help Hua Sheng resolve this crisis?
From Zhao Fangxu's standpoint, all he wants is the stability of the Inhuman World, so it is impossible for him to just watch the large-scale friction between the Lu family, the Wang family, and the Lu family.
Besides, before Hua Sheng took Lu Liang to the dark fort, he also helped the company get the magic trick. From this point of view, Zhao Fangxu also had to help Hua Sheng.
Of course, Lu Jin went to discuss the specific details with Zhao Fangxu. It can only be said that this centenarian's acting skills are really good. The appearance of wanting to kill relatives just now not only deceived all the guests present, but even Even Lu Linglong was tricked by him.
Behind her, Lu Linglong watched in a daze as this "big drama" suddenly started to reverse in two levels. She originally planned to fight it out, but she never expected that it would end like this.
"What are you thinking about?"
Hua Sheng stepped forward, stretched his arms around Lu Linglong's neck, and pressed his face against Lu Linglong's cheek.
"That's it, are you alright?" Lu Linglong asked blankly.
"Pfft, why not?"
Hua Sheng chuckled, and rubbed Lu Linglong's head with his cheek.
"Daidai, how could I really implicate you and make you suffer together?"
"So, you and my grandfather have already prepared everything?"
"Emm, almost." Hua Sheng nodded.
In fact, most of them are expected by myself, but the specific implementation details are up to my master. After all, he is still too soft-spoken now, and some words can only be truly valued by others if he speaks out as Lu Jin's tenth brother.
"So, you've been acting for a long time, and you just kept me in the dark?"
Lu Linglong widened her eyes and whispered.
"I didn't expect you to rush up suddenly..."
Hua Sheng pinched Lu Linglong's cheek, and the smile on the corner of his mouth became wider and wider.
"Stupid! Under such circumstances, how could I not rush forward? Do you want me to watch you being kicked out of the teacher by the grandfather?"
Lu Linglong rolled her eyes, she must be lying if she said she wasn't angry, but she cared more about Hua Sheng's safety than getting angry.
"I love you baby." Hua Sheng chuckled, and immediately pecked Lu Linglong lightly on the face.
"oops!"
Lu Linglong pushed Hua Sheng away. In front of so many friends, even though she was used to being in close contact with Hua Sheng, she couldn't help but blushed slightly at this moment.
Looking at Lu Linglong's running back, Hua Sheng couldn't help laughing for a moment.
Behind him, Zhuge Qing held his chin and looked at his immediate superior on the field with great interest.
"Oh, after a long time, it turned out that Lao Hua brought Dong Zhao in. No wonder this guy was so calm from the beginning to the end."
"Borrowing the power of the company to suppress the partnership between Wang and Lu's family is indeed a good way, but I'm also curious, how did Lao Hua think of this step in advance?
You want to say that Director Zhao of this company has not been greeted in advance, how could his timing be so coincidental? "
Wang also squinted his eyes. Although he knew in advance that this engagement banquet was destined to be full of twists and turns, Wang couldn't figure out the specific details of the game between Hua Sheng and these aristocratic families.
"It's actually not difficult to understand. After all, the company's responsibility has always been to maintain the stability of the Inhuman World, so it's normal for Director Zhao to be the peacemaker. However, this photo is very interesting. Old Wang, why don't you look?"
Zhuge Qing pushed the photo in front of Wang Ye and smiled mysteriously.
"I don't know what to see. I'm not from your company." Wang also rolled his eyes.
"Is this a downgraded photo from the surveillance camera?"
Suddenly, Zhang Chulan, who had been silent all this time, took a closer look at the photo.
"Well, if there is no accident, this photo should have been circulated from within us." Zhuge Qing nodded in agreement.
"Isn't it strange? Isn't it known to everyone that there are traitors in the company..."
Zhang Chulan laughed at herself, knowing that there was a traitor in the company, but she just couldn't find it out!
"No, no, that's not all. Since the company's spy leaked this photo, why did it end up in the hands of the Wang family?" Zhuge Qing narrowed his eyes, and his eyes gradually became dangerous.
"You mean to say..."
Zhang Chulan also nodded thoughtfully at this moment.
"If my guess is correct, either the so-called traitor was inserted by the Wang family, or they want to use the Wang family's help to get rid of Hua Sheng!"
"pretty close."
Zhang Chulan looked at Hua Sheng in front of him with complicated eyes, and suddenly realized that there are quite a few people who want this guy to die...
"If you look at it from a more complicated perspective, if Director Zhao knew about this in advance, then his appearance this time may not be just a simple matter of being a peacemaker and maintaining the stability of the alien world. I am afraid, He wanted to warn the traitor not to be too presumptuous..."
Wang also watched with great interest as the employees who knew both of these things talked to each other here, alas, so it is better not to go to work in the company.
Not to mention being so tired every day, and worrying about this and that all day long, it would be better to go home and lie down!
But speaking of it, didn't you say you were going to join the WTO?Then it's better to postpone the dream of lying flat for a while, and talk about it after rebirth!
--------------------------
Ahead, after dealing with Lu Ci and Wang Ai's sudden attack, Lu Jin also laughed happily, and quickly wanted to greet Zhao Fangxu to take a seat.
However, in the face of Lu Jin's kind invitation, Zhao Fangxu just shook his head with a smile, and then he dragged Lu Jin's hand and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Lu, look, the company really has something urgent today, and I need to go back and deal with it as soon as possible." , so, I really have no way to stay here any longer.
However, for the blessings of the two newcomers, I still want to bring..."
"Really... That's really a pity. It doesn't matter. Mr. Zhao is busy with your work, so I won't keep you anymore."
"Well, everyone, goodbye."
"Farewell."
As Zhao Fangxu's chubby figure walked out of everyone's sight, all the guests present couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief at the same time.
Without him, it's just because the sense of oppression Zhao Fangxu gave them is too strong!
In today's alien world, when it comes to "martial strategy", apart from Lao Tianshi's unique one, there are two heroes under it - Ding Zhang'an and Na Ruhu. After all, these two are in the alien world Recognized as the top!
However, if you want to talk about "Wen Tao" in the alien world, everyone will definitely think of a person involuntarily, the chairman of the company, Zhao Fangxu!
Although from the perspective of a foreigner, his strength is not considered strong, and it can even be said that he is not as good as an ordinary third-rate foreigner. In the world of foreigner, where the strong are respected and the weak prey on the strong, it stands to reason that this kind of It should be difficult for people to have the right to speak.
However, only relying on his third-rate level, Zhao Fangxu played "restriction and balance" miraculously. To put it bluntly, Zhao Fangxu is definitely responsible for such a stable situation in the world of aliens today. without!
If the old celestial master is the top "martial arts" in the alien world, then Zhao Fangxu can definitely be called the top "Wen Tao"!
Therefore, Zhao Fangxu just stood here, giving all the guests present a sense of oppression!
However, following Zhao Fangxu's departure, the atmosphere at the venue became active again.
In the beginning, making friends with martial arts seems to have really become just making friends with martial arts. From time to time, some people want to go on stage to show their strength, which indeed gave the scene a lot of lively atmosphere.
There are people from Wudang, people from Penglai Xiandao, and some folk lone strangers, and even people from the Tang Sect sent people to show their hands.
However, Hua Sheng was actually very surprised that the Tang Sect would send someone over.
You know, after he and Lu Linglong went to the Tang Sect last time, it can be said that they indirectly killed Tang Miaoxing, the head of the Tang Sect. The people of the Tang Sect didn't even think about sending someone to assassinate themselves. Will send someone to their engagement party.
But as Hua Sheng thought about it, he immediately understood the crux of the problem.
That's right, the head of the Tang Sect is now Xu Xin, one of the 36 thieves!
The reason why the Tang Sect sent people to congratulate them today is probably Xu Xin's idea!
Thinking of this, Hua Sheng's eyes couldn't help squinting slightly. This Xu Xin seems to be a little difficult. No wonder Tang Miaoxing would rather use his own life as the price to force Xu Xin to come out of the mountain and take charge of the Tang Sect instead of him...
Because my calculations just came to nothing, I don't know if I was holding back some new bad ideas, anyway, Wang Ai didn't stand up to make trouble for a while, so the atmosphere in the venue can be regarded as happy and harmonious.
As for Lu Ci, after knowing that there was probably no hope of getting information about Lu Liang's whereabouts from Hua Sheng, he immediately left the venue.
Originally, such a harmonious scene was quite good, and this is what a normal engagement banquet should be. Walking onto the ring, at the same time staring at Hua Sheng in the audience.
Just when Hua Sheng was still thinking in his heart that he shouldn't have offended this person before, the strong man hugged everyone.
"Seeking the truth, Huang Xiaole, wants to challenge Master Hua Sheng!"
"Seek the truth?"
Hua Sheng was slightly taken aback, and the information about the Seeking Truth Society gradually flooded into his mind.
This is a sect that brings together the natural sect, Yanwutang, Yiqiu, and Huangmen. Although these four are not big sects, the merger time is relatively short, and it seems that they are less than ten years old.
But the Truth-seeking Society after the merger is indeed a big faction that cannot be ignored, and more importantly, this Seeking-Truth Society is now competing with the Hua family for the qualification of "brother"!
