"not see!!!"
The butler's full-throated voice came from inside the door, "Our Eighth Master is ill and won't see anyone these days!"
"What do you mean you're not feeling well? You just met a few days ago..."
"Forget it, Sadie." Xinluo stopped Sadie, "This is obviously a lie. Mr. Lu doesn't care what others think, he just wants to tell us his position."
This Mr. Lu Ba is indeed the straightforward and stupid person that Lu Qi mentioned.
To deal with cunning and deceitful people, you can also use temptation of benefits.
But it is extremely difficult to deal with such people and change their stubborn ideas.
"Let's go, it looks like we've come here for nothing today."
Xinluo's time is precious, and she still has to visit other Royal Court shareholders.
Since this Mr. Lu is a tough nut to crack, we'll have to leave it for last.
After they left, the middle-aged man standing behind the second-floor window turned around.
He looked at the butler who was waiting respectfully behind him and asked solemnly, "Did you just knock on the door once?"
"Yes, Master Eight, just once. I heard that this young lady has been visiting the heads of the families these past two days. I heard her say behind the door that she had to hurry up and visit other shareholders."
After hearing this, the middle-aged man raised his eyebrows slightly, "Just once... Haha, this young lady is really interesting."
Surprisingly, it turned out not to be what he expected, she started crying and making a fuss in front of him.
Instead, he knows how to save time and goes to lobby others first.
"The last time that bastard came over, how many times did he knock?"
The butler thought about it for two seconds before saying, "Eighteen times."
"Hahaha, eighteen times. This illegitimate child Lu Yishen is really patient. I let you be rejected eighteen times, but he can still endure it. Haha, hahaha..."
“Eighth, Eighth Master…?” The butler saw the middle-aged man laughing, so he should be happy. However, he couldn’t guess what the Eighth Master was laughing at.
Mr. Lu laughed several times in succession, and the smile in his eyes suddenly turned into a cold look.
"Humph, what do they think of this place of mine, a thatched cottage? He, Lu Yishen, wants to be like Liu Bei, but I am not Zhuge Liang. Tell Lu Huanting that I accept his offer."
"Eighth Master, you don't look down on Lu Yishen, that private person..."
Before the housekeeper could finish the word "illegitimate child", he was frightened into shutting up by the cold light that flashed across Mr. Lu's eyes.
This kind of Mr. Lu is completely different from the straightforward and simple-minded description in the rumors.
"Just go if you're told to. Why are you talking so much nonsense? I know how to behave. I won't forget the illegitimate child that my Yu'er hates!"
His Yuer, his only son who died young.
Even though the child was gone, Mr. Lu still hadn't forgotten Lu Yu's disdain for Lu Yishen.
Naturally, he would not care about the people and things that his son hated.
But this time...
In order to accomplish something big, he could only stand on the side of the person Yu'er hated.

After Xinluo visited several branch family heads and other shareholders of the Royal Court in succession, he still couldn't find any clues to the so-called "handle" that Lu Huanting mentioned.
"Those family heads are very tight-lipped. No one is willing to reveal anything." After returning home in the evening, Xinluo said to Lu Yuchen on the phone.
"The shareholders were easier to convince than I expected. After I promised them that I could facilitate their business in Europe, their attitudes all leaned towards us."
"But Yuchen... I'm sorry... I'm still useless."
Xinluo's voice was muffled, with a hint of self-blame. (To be continued)
