Chapter 482: Cooperation

ng effect. Coupled with Fu Xiaoyao's initial slight intoxication and then being teased by Lu Hanchuan like this, how could she withstand it She quickly lost her reason and reached up to grasp his neck..."Sure, sure." Qiao Mu only then remembered his purpose for coming out. He rubbed his temples in annoyance before parting the doorway and letting Fu Xiaoyao and her group enter.

Fu Xiaoyao politely nodded to him and then walked into the reception room.

Lu Hanchuan had been keeping an eye on the movements at the door. When he saw her enter, for some unknown reason, he put down the wine glass in his hand and stood up from the sofa.

"Eh" Upon seeing Lu Hanchuan, Fu Xiaoyao feigned surprise and opened her mouth, "Are you the mister from last night"

"Hello, Miss Shi!" Lu Hanchuan walked over and extended his hand to her.

Fu Xiaoyao retracted the surprise from her face and smiled, shaking his hand. "So you're the president of Lu Group, hello."

Lu Hánchuan nodded, relaxed his hand to the back, gently rubbed it, then pointed with another finger towards the sofa, "Ms. Shi, please sit down."

"Thank you." Fu Xiaoyao smoothed her skirt and sat down on the sofa.

"Want to drink" Lu Hanchuan asked.

Fu Xiaoyao smiled and refused, "I'm sorry, Lu總, I haven't been feeling well lately, so I won't be drinking."

"May I have some tea" Lu Hánchuan asked her.

Fu Xiaoyao had no objection this time.

"Go brew a pot of tea," Lu Hanchuan instructed his secretary.

The secretary responded with a sound and then turned to leave the reception room.

On the side, Qiao Mu watched Lu Hanchuan show no surprise when he saw Fu Xiaoyao, feeling very confused.

Why isn't President Lu surprised by Miss Shi's appearance

Even if Lu Zong forgot his feelings for his wife, he couldn't forget the memory of their wedding.

Could it be that Mr. Lu only remembers his wife's name but has forgotten what she looks like

" Qiao Mu!" Lu Hanchuan called out Qiao Mu's name twice in a row, but Qiao Mu showed no reaction. His voice involuntarily became much heavier.

Now Qiao Mu finally reacted, pushed his glasses and stood straight, "Lu Zong, what can I do for you"

"Go get Minister Chen."

"Okay." Qiao Mu nodded slightly.

After he left, Lu Hankan's face improved a little. He turned to Fu Xiaoyao and said: "I apologize, Miss Fu. Let's wait until everyone is here before proceeding with the cooperation."

"It's alright, I should be the one apologizing. I was supposed to be here before noon, but there was a traffic jam on the way and I ended up being almost two hours late. I'm really sorry." Fu Xiaoyao smiled sheepishly, but inside she was filled with sarcasm.

She wasn't late, she was on her way to Lu Group and took a detour to visit her biological mother, Ye Lan.

She said that, Lu Hankan couldn't compare to seeing Tang Yi, seeing her biological mother was the most important!

And she did this on purpose, deliberately making him wait, putting him down a peg.

"It's alright, I understand." Lu Hanchuan listened to Fu Xiaoyao's reason for being late and didn't react much. Apparently, he had already known.

Fu Xiaoyao picked up the tea that her secretary had just poured, “Although President Lu doesn’t mind my being late, I feel a little guilty. This cup of tea is like an apology, President Lu, I toast you!”

Having said that, she raised her teacup in a toast to Lu Hanchuan.

Lu Hankan glanced at her and raised his teacup to clink it against hers.

Fu Xiaoyao, seeing this, a glint appeared in her eyes. She took back the teacup and drank it all in one gulp.

Instead, Lu Hanchuan merely took a sip of his tea symbolically, then put it down. Then, his deep eyes kept staring at her face.

Fu Xiaoyao felt a little flustered by his gaze, so she casually touched her face and feigned ignorance, asking, "Lu Zong, is there something on my face Why are you staring at me"

"Miss Shi resembles an old acquaintance of mine." Lu Hanchuan crossed his fingers.

"Resemble an old acquaintance Which one, I wonder" Fu Xiaoyao asked softly, lowering her gaze.

Lu Hanchuan pursed his thin lips without answering.

Fu Xiaoyao's lips twitched with a hint of mockery, the expression fleeting.

Just when she thought he wouldn't answer and was about to skip over the topic, he suddenly spoke up, "My ex-wife!"

"Ex-wife" Fu Xiaoyao was surprised. "Just now your assistant mistook me for what kind of wife, so his meaning is, that I am your ex-wife"

"Yes, I'm sorry. Qiao Mu just mistook you for my ex-wife because you look so much like her. Don't mind it." Lu Hanchuan apologized for Qiao Mu.

Fu Xiaoyao waved her hand, "That's not true, but Mr. Lu, do I really look like your ex-wife"

"Yes, almost exactly the same!" Lu Hanchuan replied with an unreadable expression.

Fu Xiaoyao lifted the teacup, a refill from her secretary, and took a delicate sip. “So that’s how it is. What an honor! I never expected to look like your wife. Though, I don’t understand why your assistant gets so excited when they see me, but you remain so calm”

"When I saw you last night, I was already surprised, and after going back, I looked up your information." Lu Hanchuan explained.

Fu Xiaoyao used her teacup to block the cold curve at the corner of her mouth, "So that's how it is. Then Lu Zong probably wouldn't think like your assistant and believe that I am your ex-wife, would he"

Lu Hanchuan chuckled, "Of course not!"

"Well, that's good, after all, I'm a single person who has never been married. Suddenly becoming someone else's ex-wife is really hard for me too." Fu Xiaoyao rubbed the edge of her teacup and said meaningfully.

"It was my subordinate who was wrong. I will speak to him and make sure it won't happen again."

“I believe in Mr. Lu, but I heard that Mr. Lu's ex-wife passed away six years ago, but Mr. Lu remembers his ex-wife's appearance so clearly. It seems Mr. Lu cares a lot about his ex-wife, doesn't he” Fu Xiaoyao narrowed her peach blossom eyes at the man opposite her, her eyes filled with an unreadable expression.

"Do you care...” Lu Hanchuan murmured in a daze.

They all said that the person he loved was Fu Xiaoyao, but since he had forgotten his feelings for her, he naturally wouldn't care about her anymore.

But he didn't know why, when he saw this woman who looked almost exactly like Fu Xiaoyao, his emotions would fluctuate so greatly.

He can't describe this feeling!

"Lu Zong Lu Zong" Seeing Lu Hanchuan lost in thought, Fu Xiaoyao softly called out to him twice.

Lu Hanchuan's eyes flickered, then he sobered up, "I apologize, Miss Shi."

"It's okay." Fu Xiaoyao waved her hand, indicating that she didn't mind.

Lu Hanchuan rubbed his temples, feeling somewhat weary.

Fu Xiaoyao saw his state and casually asked, "Lu Zong didn't rest well last night"

Lù Hánchuan replied in a low voice, "A little, I apologize for the laughter."

He saw her last night and mistook her for Fu Xiaoyao. Although he confirmed it wasn't her in the end, he still felt a little uncomfortable.

That's why he couldn't sleep last night, only managing to fall asleep in the late hours. Even then, his sleep was restless, filled with many dreams. However, upon waking, he couldn't remember what they were about.

But intuition told him those dreams were important to him.

Maybe those weren't dreams, but memories he had lost.

"No, General Lu manages such a large group, it's normal not to get enough rest. Of course, I wouldn't laugh at that." Fu Xiaoyao said politely while sipping her tea.

At this moment, the door to the reception room opened and Qiao Mu led in a middle-aged man wearing a white lab coat.

"Lu Zong, Director Chen is here."

Lu Hanchuan nodded, then introduced to Chen, the department head: "Chen, this is Shi Yao, the holder of new energy."

Fu Xiaoyao stood up and extended her hand to Minister Chen. "Minister Chen, hello. I'm Fu Xiaoyao, the General Manager of Shi Energy Company."

"Hello, hello!" Director Chen shook hands with Fu Xiaoyao excitedly.

He had seen that new energy project, it was definitely ahead of any energy-related technology in the world, and this woman before him was the holder of this new energy technology, how could he not be excited.

Fu Xiaoyao looked at Chen, the department head, who was practically bursting with impatience, and couldn't help but smile wryly.

Then, she withdrew her hand and turned to Lu Hanchuan, "Mr. Lu, can we start discussing the cooperation now" front of him, waving incessantly as if warding off something. His little face was covered with fear, and his light brown eyes were dark and devoid of any sparkle.Anyone can tell that this little trea...
