Chapter 558: Chapter 558: I Do Not Shake Hands with Others
Seeing this, Chen Feng followed Zhou Zheng and walked over.
"Mr. Lu, Miss Qiao, it’s been a long time since we’ve seen each other!"
Zhou Zheng stepped forward, looked at Lu Xiaoyun and that woman, and said with a smile on his face.
The woman, upon seeing Zhou Zheng, waved at the bodyguards, signaling for them to disperse.
Then, she and Lu Xiaoyun walked out from the midst of the bodyguards’ circle.
The woman glanced at Chen Feng beside Zhou Zheng, then turned her head, looked at Zhou Zheng, and smiled, "Yes, it’s been almost two years since we last parted, hasn’t it?"
"Yes! It has been almost two years. Mr. Lu, you’ve been getting increasingly popular in the country!"
Zhou Zheng nodded and said with a smile.
Hearing this, the corners of Lu Xiaoyun’s mouth twitched slightly, but he didn’t speak.
Zhou Zheng turned his head towards Chen Feng, pointed at the woman, and introduced her to Chen Feng, "Director Chen, Mr. Lu needs no introduction from me. This Miss Qiao Yue is Mr. Lu’s agent. The smooth development of Mr. Lu’s career in the domestic entertainment industry is not only due to his acting and martial arts skills but half of the credit goes to Miss Qiao!"
After speaking, he turned to look at Qiao Yue and Lu Xiaoyun, pointing at Chen Feng and introduced him to the two, "Mr. Lu, Miss Qiao, let me formally introduce to you, this is the real boss of Tianfeng Security Company, Chen Feng! And I’m just working for him!"
"This time, our boss takes the matter of having Mr. Lu as an endorser very seriously, so he has personally come to talk about the collaboration to express our sincerity!"
"Miss Qiao, hello!"
Chen Feng smiled and reached out his right hand towards Qiao Yue.
Seeing this, Qiao Yue also quickly extended her right hand and shook hands with Chen Feng, then she said with a smile on her face, "Director Chen is truly talented and promising. To establish such a large company at such a young age, the future is boundless!"
"You flatter me, Miss Qiao!"
Chen Feng waved his hand and said modestly.
Then, he turned his head towards Lu Xiaoyun, smiled, and said, "Mr. Lu, I’ve seen a few of your movies, and they’re quite good. I’m very pleased about the collaboration between our company and you!"
After speaking, Chen Feng extended his right hand towards Lu Xiaoyun.
However, Lu Xiaoyun merely glanced at Chen Feng indifferently, then shifted his gaze away and said arrogantly, "I’m sorry, I never shake hands with anyone!"
The atmosphere, which had been amiable, suddenly stiffened with Lu Xiaoyun’s comment, becoming incredibly awkward.
Expressions froze on everyone’s faces present, including agent Qiao Yue, who frowned.
But Qiao Yue was ultimately a professional agent.
She quickly stepped forward, took Chen Feng’s right hand again, and looking at Chen Feng, she said apologetically, "I’m so sorry, Director Chen. Our Xiaoyun is not feeling well today; he has a cold. Please be understanding. I’ll shake your hand on his behalf!"
"Oh, it’s all right,"
Chen Feng nodded and withdrew his hand, saying indifferently.
As for Qiao Yue’s explanation, Chen Feng didn’t believe it at all.
Because anyone who wasn’t blind could see.
Lu Xiaoyun, with a ruddy complexion and looking healthier than ever, how could he possibly have a cold?
To put it bluntly, he was just being a prima donna!
For this, Chen Feng didn’t want to delve too much into it.
His purpose today was to facilitate the cooperation; there was no need to make things unpleasant.
After all, the man was a national kung fu superstar, a best actor; it was normal for him to have some star temperament, as long as it wasn’t too excessive.
Seeing that Chen Feng wasn’t angry, Qiao Yue also slightly relaxed and looked at Chen Feng, smiling, "Mr. Lu is really magnanimous. I believe our collaboration will be very pleasant!"
"Haha, of course!"
Zhou Zheng also helped smooth the situation.
Then he looked at Qiao Yue and Lu Xiaoyun and continued, "Miss Qiao, Mr. Lu, let’s not stand here; let’s go to the conference room. We can sit down and talk slowly!"
"Alright, let’s go then!"
Qiao Yue said with a smile.
Then, Chen Feng and Zhou Zheng led the way, with Qiao Yue, Lu Xiaoyun, and others following behind, as they all headed towards the company’s conference room in a grand procession.
Upon arriving at the conference room door, all of Lu Xiaoyun’s bodyguards stayed outside.
Only Chen Feng, Zhou Zheng, Lu Xiaoyun, and Qiao Yue entered the conference room.
"Mr. Lu, Miss Qiao, we’re all not strangers here, feel free to sit anywhere!"
Upon reaching the conference table, Zhou Zheng pointed at the empty seats around the table and said to Lu Xiaoyun and Qiao Yue.
By saying this, he was actually trying to be polite.
Hearing this, Qiao Yue smiled slightly but didn’t hurry to sit down.
Instead, it was Lu Xiaoyun who, without a word, strode towards the head of the conference table and then sat down on the prime seat.
And that seat should have belonged to Chen Feng, the company’s boss!
Lu Xiaoyun, as a guest, had taken the host’s seat.
This was a major faux pas anywhere!
The atmosphere turned awkward once again.
Zhou Zheng and Qiao Yue both had a change in expression.
And Chen Feng furrowed his brows.
Because from the handshake earlier to this incident.
This Lu Xiaoyun really lacked manners and did not resemble the scandal-free and positive image of the good man, Lu Xiaoyun, as portrayed by the media!
On the contrary, this Lu Xiaoyun was particularly arrogant, especially with that look in his eyes, completely disregarding everyone else.
Could this person really be as virtuous as the news described?
Chen Feng now had his doubts.
"Cough cough, Xiaoyun, get up quickly!"
Qiao Yue coughed twice, looked at Lu Xiaoyun, and reminded him softly.
"Why?"
Lu Xiaoyun asked, puzzled.
"This isn’t the seat you should take!"
Qiao Yue said quietly.
"But didn’t Mr. Zhou just say to sit anywhere? I chose a seat at random; what’s wrong with that?"
Lu Xiaoyun said righteously, in a loud voice, showing no awareness of his mistake.
At this, Qiao Yue was left speechless.
Seeing this, Zhou Zheng quickly stepped in to smooth things over, "Hehe, indeed I said that, so let’s sit anywhere; it’s fine!"
After speaking, Zhou Zheng looked at Chen Feng and winked at him, smiling, "Director Chen, you don’t mind, do you?"
Chen Feng, of course, knew what Zhou Zheng’s wink meant; he was suggesting that Chen Feng should be patient and accommodating.
And Chen Feng understood that being too particular at this point was extremely detrimental to the cooperation!
For the sake of the company, it was fine to let such a small issue slide!
So, Chen Feng nodded and said, "Then let’s sit wherever!"
