This is what an immortal should be like

Chapter 104 The unexpected smell of incense
Liu Hongyu and Leng Zhiheng took a little longer than the former expected.

So when Leng Zhiheng's mobile phone rang, they were actually still on the edge of Jingzhou.

The two people who had just returned with a large bag of photos were now preparing to eat some late-night stir-fry at a roadside stall in downtown JZ.

However, the egg fried rice they ordered was not ready yet, and there was only a plate of refreshing kimchi on the table.

There were a few small tables and stools on the stir-fry stall, and all the seats were filled with people. All the lighting was mainly provided by a small battery and a 15-watt round-head incandescent lamp on the stall.

The boss was making egg fried rice over there using a gas stove. The rice mixed with the dishes flew up and down, bringing out the aroma and fragrance of the wok.

The diners around were either waiting or eating and chatting. There were also some other stalls nearby, and with the flow of people passing by, it was like a lively little night market was created on this small street on the edge of JZ City.

"Two servings of egg fried rice are ready, please come and get them!"

"Alas, here it comes!"

Leng Zhiheng stood up and walked over to the mobile display window to get two bowls of fried rice, then returned to the table and put them down.

Liu Hongyu sniffed the fried rice. Although it was not a precious ingredient, and it was even less likely to contain any spiritual energy, it was full of the flavor of home and well-seasoned, making people hungry just by smelling it.

"Eat, boss. If you find it troublesome at this time, you'll just have to make do with this!"

"Hahahaha, I'm not disgusted!"

As they spoke, they picked up their chopsticks and started eating.

"Drip, drip, drip."

The sound of the phone briefly broke the surrounding noise. Leng Zhiheng took out the phone from his bag, and many people nearby, even passers-by, subconsciously looked over here.

Pagers were just becoming popular in those days, and having a beeping machine that displayed text was enough to show off in front of some friends. This kind of personal mobile phone was too expensive for ordinary people, and only rich people could carry one with them when going out.

"Hey, yes, no, no, we are still in Jingzhou, we just came out not long ago."

While answering the phone, Leng Zhiheng glanced around. The people nearby subconsciously avoided his gaze and went back to their own business.

During this process, Liu Hongyu was concentrating on eating fried rice, but he could actually hear the voice on the other end of the phone clearly.

It was already 11 o'clock in the evening at the Liu Group headquarters in Zhonghai City, but there were still many lights on in many places on the top floor. Liu Lei was leaning back in a chair, talking on the phone in a leisurely manner.

"Got it, boss, are you available to answer the phone?"

Not long after Liu Lei asked the question, there was silence on the other end of the phone, and then Liu Hongyu's voice came from the receiver.

"Is there anything important?"

Liu Lei subconsciously sat up straighter.

"Boss, some of the board members have arrived early and want to meet with you privately. You know, when you were away, quite a few people wanted to see you too."

"You called me specifically for this matter. It seems you want me to meet them?"

Hearing the voice on the phone, Liu Lei looked at the paper on his desk, which listed the percentage of shares and the influence of some departments and branches of the group.

"Yes, boss. You know, our Liu Group is a large company with a complex network of relationships. Although you have the board's approval, my work pressure is much greater than before. If that's okay."

Liu Lei paused before continuing.

"I hope to win over some major shareholders, which will also facilitate the Liu Group to form a joint force."

At a roadside stall, Liu Hongyu was playing with a pickled cucumber with chopsticks. He thought for a few seconds and then gave his answer.

"Sure! But I can't meet everyone, and there are definitely people with ulterior motives among them!"

"Don't worry, boss. I've already screened them. I only need to meet with three or four major shareholders. If they can cooperate better with us in the future, a lot of work will be much more convenient, and you won't have to attend many meetings!"

Hearing this, Liu Hongyu smiled.

"Just bring them to see me anytime tomorrow morning. I'm hanging up now. I'm eating."

"Okay, boss, you are busy!"

Liu Hongyu then hung up the phone and returned it to Leng Zhiheng. Seeing the latter's curious eyes, he still said something with a smile.

"These rich and powerful guys really do become more superstitious as they get older! I guess the deep impression they made last time has been keeping them occupied for a while."

Leng Zhiheng grinned and couldn't help but reply.

"But boss, is this considered superstition?"

Liu Hongyu really thought about it seriously and wondered how his master would answer. Then he smiled and said.

"To me, to you, to those who have truly witnessed and understood it, the way of immortality isn't superstition. But they're just imagining things. Some might even think I was summoning a spirit. Speculating and believing in something is superstition!"

"Alright, let's eat quickly. We're not staying here tonight. Notify the airport crew and prepare for takeoff."

"okay!"

Leng Zhiheng immediately started making phone calls.

Liu Hongyu also had his own considerations. In fact, although he had successfully obtained the inheritance rights before, he was more unhappy about losing something that belonged to him. He did not have much feelings for the Liu Group itself, so his methods at the time seemed a bit rough.

But this is a different time. Regardless of what my master said or my own experience, there are still many "treasures" even in an era of exhausted spiritual energy, and the Liu Group is definitely a force that cannot be ignored.
-
At about eight o'clock the next morning, Liu Lei arrived at the downstairs of a hotel in person. Soon he met with several people from Tianjin, and then they took a car to Haizhongsen Villa, where the Liu family's villa was located.

On the way, several people kept talking to Liu Lei, mainly asking about Liu Hongyu's preferences and whether he had any taboos. It was obvious that he attached great importance to this trip. Liu Lei also answered every question. If it was really inconvenient, he would just ask them to ask the boss in person.

To be honest, even though Liu Lei personally participated in the meeting about inheritance rights before, he might still have some contempt for these three people in his heart.

Some people on the board of directors have a reverence for the boss that exceeds the level of the group's decision-makers, but the boss just broke the door that time. Although it may be a little beyond the comprehension of ordinary people, he didn't do anything else afterwards. For these outsiders, everything is just their own imagination.

But after what he saw that night, Liu Lei could understand the mentality of the three people in front of him.

The car stopped, but Liu Hongyu did not greet them at the door. When the people in the car got out, they only saw a woman in a dress standing there. Her long hair was tied behind her back, and two strands of hair hung down to her chest.

"Hello, the boss asked me to wait for you here. He's in the backyard. Please follow me!"

Seeing the person getting off the car, the woman folded her hands in front of her and bowed slightly while speaking.

The old man nodded slightly when he saw the woman, and the middle-aged man next to him seemed to stiffen for a moment, and even couldn't help but take a step back. The young man who got off the car last was stunned for a moment. What's going on with the uncle?
"Lu, Miss Lu, you are still here, do you still remember me?"

The middle-aged man asked this question again, and his body couldn't help but take two steps forward. Facing the woman, he felt like wanting to get closer but didn't dare.

The woman raised her head with a decent smile on her face. She looked very mature and bright. It was hard to tell her real age. Perhaps only by looking closely at the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes could one know that she was not actually young.

"I know all the members of the company's board of directors, Mr. Qi Guoliang! Okay, please follow me!"

After saying this, the woman turned around and walked away first. The middle-aged man opened his mouth but was hit on the leg with a crutch.

"You bastard, as if you don't think it's embarrassing enough, why don't you leave now!"

The young man on the side was already full of gossip. Judging from the situation, the uncle and this woman had a story. Who was this? Was she Liu Shihao's lover? Not quite, more like a maid?
Liu Lei smiled and said apologetically.

"Manager Lu had the same attitude towards the previous CEO, Liu. It wasn't intentional indifference, so he smiled more towards the current boss. Please don't mind!"

“Uh, no, no, I know.”

The middle-aged man hurriedly explained that the old man had already walked forward, so he hurried forward to support him.

The young man deliberately fell behind and asked in a low voice close to Liu Lei.

"Assistant Liu, who was that just now? Wasn't she a pretty maid?"

Hearing this, Liu Lei still looked at the young man with a smile.

"This is Ms. Lu Lijun, the boss's personal affairs manager. Mr. Qi, you'd better be more respectful. Your uncle suffered a loss in the past. Out of personal friendship, I will give you this much."

After saying that, Liu Lei walked forward quickly.

The young man did not give up, and trotted to catch up with the person in front, and walked to the side of the middle-aged man. Although he knew that the occasion was inappropriate, he was so curious that he couldn't help but ask in a low voice.

"Uncle, did you have a relationship with Manager Lu before?"

Before the young man could finish his words, Qi Guoliang covered his mouth, and the latter showed a rare panic expression on his face.

"You unlucky thing, keep talking nonsense"

The old man next to him looked back, and the middle-aged man let go of the young man, glared at him fiercely, and warned him again in a low voice.

"Mind the occasion!"

After saying this, he no longer paid attention to his nephew. The middle-aged man walked to the old man and continued to support him as he walked forward.

The Liu family villa was not small, and the yards in front and behind the villa were even bigger. The group walked slowly and it took them a while to reach the garden where Liu Hongyu was.

Liu Hongyu was sitting under the garden awning at a long table, studying a pile of papers. These were the sketches that the third group of the seventh institute had faxed over this morning.

I have to say that Liu Hongyu's eyes lit up when he saw the sketches sent by the design institute. After all, he is a person who makes a living in this field, and his skills are indeed not to be underestimated. He thought he would need to get in touch with it a few more times, but he didn't expect the sketches to be so outstanding.

Liu Hongyu even felt that some of the sketches were more emotional and charming than what he had imagined in his mind. This is the convenience of modern society!

"Boss, this design is even more daring. He directly modified your request for the Weapon Storage Pavilion into a sword pool blockade chain with a 'Demon Suppression Tower' standing in the middle."

Liu Hongyu also saw it. Although the style was incompatible with Yinxian Valley, the designer’s unrestrained thinking could be seen!

At this time, footsteps were approaching, and the nanny arrived first.

"Boss, the Qi family is here!"

"Ok!"

Liu Hongyu nodded and turned his gaze towards the nanny, while over there, Liu Lei and three members of the Qi family were also walking over.

Qi Guoliang's face showed some excitement, and he recalled the oppressive aura of Liu Hongyu in the headquarters conference room.

The elderly Qi Yucheng also saw the current Liu Hongyu. There was a bit of Liu Shihao's shadow between his eyebrows, and the calm and composed look he had sitting there seemed to have something that Liu Shihao didn't have.

Qi Chenfeng widened his eyes even more. Is this Mr. Liu so young?

No wonder he is called "Little" Mr. Liu, he is much younger than me, right?
Liu Hongyu now has fair and delicate skin, and with his casual attire, he looks incredibly young in the sun.
But at this moment, Liu Hongyu's eyes subconsciously focused on the old man.

This should be Mr. Qi Yucheng, right? Why is there a faint scent of sandalwood coming from him from so far away?

With a slight movement in his heart, Liu Hongyu recalled a book about scent written by his master. This was definitely not a perfume sprayed on him, because it was too light and too special.

Although it is very faint, it should be the smell of incense!
To be honest, Liu Hongyu was deeply surprised to smell this kind of scent here!
