I, the wanderer of the universe, love making friends

Chapter 409 Mr. Lu

Shen Lang's attitude is very clear.

It’s not that I don’t give you a chance. The opportunity is right in front of you now. It depends on whether you can seize it.

Wang Xueqin and Lu Mengping lowered their heads and remained silent, each thinking about their own things.

Lu Mengping bit her lower lip, her brows twisted into the shape of a "川" character, and her past experiences flashed through her mind like a kaleidoscope.

She desperately searched her memory for the value that Shen Lang could recognize, but after thinking about it, she seemed to have nothing to show for herself except her father Lu Zhenhua's power.

She felt a pang of bitterness in her heart and her eyes were slightly red.

I thought to myself, "All I do on a daily basis is eat, drink, and have fun. I've never thought about improving myself. Now that he's asking me this, I really can't come up with anything that would impress him. If I can't prove myself, I'm afraid he'll really throw me away."

She secretly glanced at Wang Xueqin and saw that her mother also had a serious expression on her face, which made her feel even more flustered.

"Mom has always been smart. Maybe she can come up with a solution. But if she can't, what should we do?" Lu Mengping's heart was in turmoil. She unconsciously clenched the corners of her clothes with her hands, and her fingers turned slightly white from the force.

Thinking of Shen Lang's condescending demeanor, she felt a surge of resentment. "I can't just give up like this. I must make him see my worth. But what can I do?"

She asked herself this question over and over in her heart, trying to find a glimmer of hope from the confusion.

Wang Xueqin was also lost in thought, her eyes filled with fatigue and helplessness.

"I always thought that my beauty and charm were enough to win a man's heart, but after he said that, I realized that in his eyes, these were just ordinary things."

She sighed softly, thinking back to the years she had spent in the Lu family. Apart from being jealous, she seemed to have not learned any skills to make a living.

"Business talent? I know nothing about business. Superb skills? What else can I show you?" She felt annoyed and regretted that she had only pursued pleasure in the past and did not make more plans for the future.

Seeing Lu Mengping's anxious and helpless look, Wang Xueqin felt a pang of pain in her heart.

"I can't let my daughter miss this opportunity that may change her destiny because of my mistake." She secretly made up her mind to find a way to prove the value of her and her daughter.

Suddenly, an idea flashed in her mind, the corners of her mouth rose slightly, and a hint of charm flashed in her eyes.

Then she slowly raised her head, her eyes full of determination and charm.

She licked her lips gently and twisted her waist slightly.

"Mr. Shen." Her voice was soft, with a hint of temptation. "Although I don't understand business, I know that women also have their own unique abilities."

As she spoke, she reached out her hand and gently stroked the hair by her ear, her eyes full of charm.

"What I can give you is not those cold connections. I will use my own way to make you feel what true tenderness is, and make you unable to leave me."

As she spoke, she took the reins from Lu Mengping and drove the horse slowly closer to Shen Lang's mount. Her fingers gently stroked Shen Lang's thigh, and the action seemed to be teasing Shen Lang's heartstrings.

Seeing this, Lu Mengping was stunned at first, but then she understood her mother's intention.

She felt a little uncomfortable, but in order to keep Shen Lang, she couldn't care less.

Trying hard to force a smile on her face, she said, "Mr. Shen, I will also work hard to learn. I will learn how to please you and make you feel that I am unique."

Her voice trembled slightly, filled with anticipation and uneasiness, and her eyes were full of dependence on Shen Lang.

Shen Lang raised his eyebrows slightly, a meaningful smile on his face.

"Oh? Really? Then prove it to me."

Hearing this, Wang Xueqin and Lu Mengping felt inexplicably happy.

I feel that as long as I work hard, I will definitely get his approval.

At this time.

A burst of hurried horse hoof sounds came from afar, and Lu Zhenhua came riding on the black horse, exhausted.

There were fine beads of sweat on his forehead, and his hair was soaked with sweat and stuck to his cheeks in a messy manner. It was obvious that he had been running all the way.

Seeing that his daughters Lu Mengping and Wang Xueqin were safe and sound, he felt relieved and a look of concern appeared on his face.

"Mr. Shen, Mengping, Xueqin, I finally found you. Are you okay?" Lu Zhenhua said as he looked back and forth at Wang Xueqin and Lu Mengping, trying to confirm whether they were unharmed.

Lu Mengping and Wang Xueqin looked at each other, a hint of panic flashed in their eyes, and then they returned to normal.

Wang Xueqin forced a smile and said, "Master, we are fine. It was you and Mengping's horses that got frightened just now, which scared us all. Fortunately, you are all fine."

Her voice trembled slightly, but fortunately Lu Zhenhua didn't notice anything unusual.

Lu Zhenhua turned around, looked at Shen Lang, and said with a smile: "Mr. Shen, I really made you laugh just now. I don't know what happened to this horse. It suddenly became manic."

Shen Lang smiled and replied, "Horses do behave like this sometimes. They might have seen something that scared them, or been bitten by mosquitoes. Fortunately, you're fine." Lu Zhenhua laughed and said, "To be honest, I've been a soldier for half my life, so this little thing didn't scare me. It's just that I searched a long way and couldn't find you."

Then the topic changed, "Since everything is fine, let's talk while walking. Horse racing doesn't necessarily mean we have to go to the racecourse."

Shen Lang nodded and said, "That's right, let's talk while we walk."

Although he had just done that to Wang Xueqin and Lu Mengping, there was no visible trace of it on the surface.

He boasted to Lu Zhenhua for another half an hour in the carriage.

Although Lu Zhenhua settled down in Shanghai, this is not Northeast China after all, so he doesn't have many friends.

I feel like I have made a new friend after getting to know Shen Lang.

Moreover, Shen Lang was very much to his liking in every aspect.

So he invited her, "Brother Shen, I really regret that we met too late. How about coming to my house tonight?"

Shen Lang thought about his invitation to meet President Zhao at the Grand Shanghai Ballroom in the evening and he really couldn't spare the time.

He politely declined, "I appreciate Commander Lu's kindness. However, I have something important to attend tonight and cannot keep you. I hope Commander Lu will understand."

Shen Lang spoke sincerely, with a hint of apology.

Lu Mengping and Wang Xueqin looked at Shen Lang, their eyes full of reluctance, but helplessness.

They knew that people like Shen Lang were always surrounded by various things, and if they wanted to keep him, they would have to work harder.

Lu Zhenhua was slightly stunned, then laughed heartily: "Haha, Brother Shen must be a very busy man, then we'll meet again some other day, some other day!"

Shen Lang added, "But if Madam and Miss Lu are bored at home, you can come to the Shen family. My wife doesn't have many friends, so I'm sure she can become good friends with you two."

Hearing this, Lu Zhenhua immediately said, "That's right, it's time to go for a walk and get closer to your wife."

He looked at Wang Xueqin and Lu Mengping, "If you have nothing to do at home, you can go to the Shen family. It's not a bad thing to get to know Mrs. Shen."

"Yes, Master." Wang Xueqin nodded and looked at Shen Lang again, "I hope Mr. Shen doesn't think we are too disturbing."

"Yes, Mr. Shen, I will definitely go there more often and learn from my sister-in-law." Lu Mengping also said.

I was still thinking about how to compete with Wang Xueqin.

Shen Lang smiled and said, "Learn from each other."

After riding for a while, he said goodbye and left.

Now that his goal has been achieved, he has no interest in continuing to chat with old man Lu Zhenhua.

As night falls and the lights come on, the Grand Shanghai Ballroom is brightly lit and bustling with activity.

In the dance floor, men and women danced to the melodious music, and laughter echoed throughout the hall.

President Zhao was wearing a long silk gown and was chatting and laughing with the people around him.

Suddenly seeing Shen Lang coming in, he quickly stood up to greet him, a smile on his face: "Mr. Shen, I've been waiting for you to come!"

Shen Lang smiled slightly and shook hands with President Zhao.

As the two were talking, a man in a white shirt slowly walked over.

This man has a stern face, deep eyes, and a sense of majesty in his every move.

Chairman Zhao saw this and quickly introduced, "Mr. Shen, let me introduce you to Mr. Lu from the Green Gang. He holds a very important position in Shanghai. He asked me to invite you here for a drink today."

Shen Lang cupped his fists, nodded, and smiled, "I've long heard of Mr. Lu's great name. It's a great honor to meet you today."

Mr. Lu nodded slightly, his eyes sizing up Shen Lang, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, revealing a barely perceptible smile: "Mr. Shen, you are too polite. It is my honor to meet you today."

"Mr. Shen, Mr. Lu, I have arranged the seats. Please come this way." President Zhao greeted them.

Then the three of them sat down on the sofa nearby.

As soon as he sat down, Mr. Lu said casually, "Mr. Shen's name is something I've heard of for a long time. It's a shame I only get to meet you today with the help of Chairman Zhao. Mr. Shen is truly a rare talent. I admire him for being able to build such a large business."

Shen Lang smiled and said, "I only know a little bit."

Mr. Lu also smiled and said, "But I have something to ask Mr. Shen."
