Thinking of this, he gritted his teeth and said, “Are you blind? This is the new President of Justice Island!”
As soon as this information was released, everyone except the tour guide and Lu Ming looked stunned. The boss’s eyes widened.?D*mn! I received the new president? The person who I thought has a bad brain is the honorable president?! He is so young! If it were anyone else, he would definitely be skeptical. But now that the Chief Councilor said this, the authenticity is naturally self-evident.
Dude did not even have time to react to his uncle’s series of actions. He looked at Lu Ming in confusion. He was still wearing the same inexpensive clothes, but that face was more handsome than any celebrity he had ever seen.?This person is the new president? Am I still asleep??But the burning pain on his face reminded him that this was reality.
“The new president?”
Lu Ming crossed his arms in front of his chest and said with a faint smile, “Didn’t I tell you several times? If you don’t believe me, what else can I do?” He turned his gaze to Fred again. When he first came, he thought that the other party was specially here to support his nephew. He didn’t expect him to beat him up. It seemed that he had to thank the tour guide for secretly sending him a message not long ago.
Otherwise, it would be very difficult to settle today.
“Chief Councilor Fred?”
Fred nodded excitedly and said, “It’s a blessing that you remember my name! It’s my honor to breathe the same air as you! I’m sure you’ll lead Justice Island to a better future after you become the new president!”
He first praised him generously, then glanced at his nephew who was still in a daze from the corner of his eye. He said resentfully, “What are you waiting for!? Do you want to be a blockhead for the rest of your life?! I can’t be bothered with what you want to do. Come over and kowtow to the new president and apologize first!”
The situation had been reversed. Now the initiative was in Lu Ming’s hands! However, Dude, who had been pampered since he was young, had never suffered such grievances. He had never even apologized in his life, but now, he was asked to kowtow and apologize the moment he came. How could he do it? He stood rooted to the ground and even showed signs of blacking out.
If he had known that Lu Ming was the new president, he wouldn’t have been so arrogant earlier! Anyway, he didn’t plan to come here in the first place. It was his female companion who insisted on showing off to her friends that led to his tragedy! He subconsciously looked at his female companion who was trying to pretend to be invisible and was instantly furious! Why should he bear the consequences of her mistake?
What the hell today! I shouldn’t have gone out!
Just as he was sinking into his own world, Fred couldn’t wait any longer. He leaned in by his nephew’s ear and said, “Don’t you dare drag me down with you. If I’m finished, the family will be finished too! If this matter isn’t resolved properly, do you think the new president will let us off?”
He was quite perceptive. If not for the fact that the secretary had revealed that this was the boss of Lu Ming Corporation, he would never have believed that such a young person could pay for the next 20 years of the island’s economy in one go! How could such a person be simple? In terms of methods, the other party might be many times stronger than him!
If it was necessary, it was not impossible to sacrifice his nephew to protect the family.
But Dude’s pride wouldn’t allow him to kneel and apologize to a stranger he hadn’t known for long. And with so many people around, he couldn’t think of any benefits. All he could think of was, if he really did it, he wouldn’t be able to hold his head high in the future!
Having been in the bureaucracy for so many years, how could Fred not think of what his nephew was worried about? Just as he was about to force him to kneel… 𝐟𝗿𝚎𝐞𝓌e𝒃𝑛𝒐ѵ𝒆𝑙.c𝚘𝓶
Lu Ming suddenly said, “Forget it. I just took advantage of your words. Just bow and apologize to me. I just hope that you can stop in the future. Otherwise, it will only take a few words for me to make your family disappear.”
These words gave Fred and Dude an out. Their tense nerves were relieved for a moment. The latter looked at Lu Ming gratefully and immediately bowed. He said sincerely, “I was wrong just now. I won’t do this again. I’m sorry!”
“Thank you. Thank you for your kindness!”
Fred spoke next. This also solidified his desire to protect the new president. His gaze lingered on the bracelet for half a second before he quickly said, “As a token of our apology, my nephew will pay for the bracelet you chose. Dude, aren’t you going to pay for it?”
Dude took out his black card in a habitual manner and handed it to the boss. He said, “Quick, quick, quick, take this as my greeting gift to Big Brother! If you neglect him, don’t even think about opening a shop!”
Big brother?
When did I have a younger brother?
Lu Ming could not be bothered to correct him. Since someone was willing to treat him, why should he stop them? Just as the transaction was completed and he was about to leave, another group of people appeared at the door. Their leader looked very familiar. He raised his eyebrows slightly. This kind of perseverance was worthy of praise.
The tour guide’s legs immediately went weak. If it weren’t for the fact that there was something supporting him, he would have fainted! Who could tell him why all the rich and powerful young masters on Justice Island would run into the muzzle of a gun?! It was as if they were afraid that their lives would be too long! If this was reshuffled, the relationship between the forces here would probably be in chaos, right?
“Dude? Mr. Fred? Why are you here too?”
Guo Jiangjia did not expect to bump into these two people by chance. Dude was a good friend of his for many years, and Fred was an elder who was on good terms with his family. He had just thought that he had brought too few people, but now it seemed that the number was not bad!
Therefore, he said, “Perfect! Mr. Fred, you must help me get back at him. This kid spilled my drink not long ago, and my limited edition clothes suffered because of him. Not only did this guy not apologize, he even ordered the bodyguards to beat me and Zhang Er up in public. If I don’t vent my anger, I won’t be able to sleep well!”
Based on their understanding of Guo Jiangjia’s personality, he was probably the one who started it. On the other hand, Dude smelled the familiar formula and took the initiative to nitpick before being beaten up. He couldn’t help but give his good friend a pitying look. Without even thinking, he knew that what would happen next was none other than those few possibilities. Perhaps it would be even worse than him! He instantly felt that they were brothers in distress.
Lu Ming smiled and gave Fred a meaningful look, which made the latter tremble involuntarily. What did the new president mean? Did he think that he was a scourge because he realized that he had a deep relationship with his family? No, no, no! If he became a thorn in the new president’s side, would he still have a chance to climb back to his current position?
