Chapter 319: Chapter 319: Ill Intentions

Shen Weiyi responded calmly, "My dad is still abroad due to some matters, but he will be back soon. Once he’s back, I’ll ask him to invite President Lu for tea immediately."

"Really? That’s quite unfortunate," the latter remarked with a smile that wasn’t quite a smile, looking at Shen Weiyi, "Since we can’t meet Mr. Shen in person, I wonder if Miss Shen could trouble herself to call Mr. Shen for me? I’d like to personally say hello."

"This..." Shen Weiyi hesitated, "It should be night time overseas right now, which might not be convenient."

President Lu smiled and said, "Miss Shen, you don’t seem to know Younger Mr. Shen well enough. Given his habits, he might just be at a bar right now enjoying himself."

"Okay, then please give me a moment, Mr. Shen," Knowing that the other party wouldn’t be satisfied without making the call, Shen Weiyi immediately picked up her phone and dialed Shen Juanzhi’s number.

After a while, she turned apologetically towards President Lu and said, "I’m truly sorry, no one answered my dad’s phone. I’ll call Secretary Jiang!"

With that, she dialed Secretary Jiang’s number, this time on speakerphone.

The phone was answered after a few rings.

A noisy background, akin to a bar, echoed through the phone.

"Hello, Secretary Jiang, this is Shen Weiyi. Are you with my dad? I tried calling his phone and no one answered. President Lu from Yunxin Technology is here and would like to have a chat with my dad."

Secretary Jiang’s voice came through soon after, "Mr. Shen is drunk at a bar; I’m about to take him back to the hotel. Please convey my greetings to President Lu, and when Mr. Shen wakes up tomorrow morning, I’ll have him return the call."

"Okay, please take good care of my dad."

After hanging up, Shen Weiyi looked at the person across from her and said, "I’m really sorry, President Lu, as you heard, my dad is currently unavailable to take calls. But don’t worry, once he wakes up from his hangover tomorrow, he will definitely contact you."

Unable to help it, President Lu and Second Uncle Shen exchanged a glance, both seeing suspicion in each other’s eyes, and then they heard President Lu say with a smile, "Alright then, I’ll be waiting for Younger Mr. Shen’s call tomorrow."

Shen Weiyi replied, "I will remind Secretary Jiang to notify my dad."

With no discernible emotion on his face, President Lu said, "Since that’s the case, I’ll take my leave." He stood up but stopped after a few steps, looking back toward Shen Weiyi, "Miss Shen is smarter than I thought. I believe that even without Mr. Shen, Shen Technology would still thrive under Miss Shen’s leadership."

Shen Weiyi didn’t understand the true intent behind his words, whether they were genuine or still probing, and finally responded unyieldingly, "President Lu flatters me. Take care, I won’t see you out."

President Lu squinted slightly, then strode away.

Second Uncle Shen didn’t leave; he looked at Shen Weiyi with suspicion and asked, "Is it true that your dad didn’t board the plane?"

Shen Weiyi frowned, displeased, and countered, "What do you mean, Second Uncle? Are you hoping that my dad did get on that plane?"

"It’s not that," Second Uncle Shen retorted somewhat agitatedly, "I’m asking why you didn’t mention it last time that he hadn’t been on the plane?"

Shen Weiyi replied, "I only received the news recently as well."

"Humph, I think you did it on purpose," Second Uncle Shen said before hastily leaving.

Watching his departing figure, Shen Weiyi’s gaze grew colder.

It was clear that he was colluding with the people from Yunxin Electronics, and it was evident he had no good intentions.
