President Fang also stood up with a look of surprise and panic. "There's no need to hurry, Mr. Lu, could we discuss this further?" As he said this, he squinted at the officials standing on the side.
One of the officials forced himself to step up. "Mr. Lu, President Fang is eager to build this library, not only as an achievement for A University, but also as a gift for all of our students!"
"Exactly!" The others chimed in and nodded in agreement, but didn't dare to raise their voices.
James Lu smiled and turned to look at the anxious President Fang. "Since President Fang mentioned that fifty million is not a small amount, shouldn't you give me a tour of the current library before I agree to invest in it?"
President Fang froze, and then broke into a smile. "Yes, yes, of course, I should. This way please, Mr. Lu!"
James nodded and glanced at the officals who were ready to go along with them. Fie said coolly, "We're just having a casual stroll. I don't believe that the rest of you need to come with us."
Right now President Fang was mastered by James. Therefore, he didn't dare to disobey Jame's roder.
"Go ahead and do whatever you need to!"
As soon as President Fang gave the order, the others trickled out of the room in great relief. "Please, Mr. Lu!"
They were out of the office and about to reach the stairs, when James suddenly halted his steadfast walk.
President Fang was puzzled. "Mr. Lu?"
James frowned slightly. "I think I left my phone at your office."
President Fang was an aged man, but he was quick to react. "I'll get it for you!"
"There's no need."
Samuel Lee was a little confused. Fie remembered not seeing his boss use his phone there at all!
That's what he thought to himself, but he still said, "I'll get it for you, boss."
James didn't look very pleased by that. Fie silently glared at Samuel and said in an icy voice, "No! I'll fetch it myself. Please wait here."
After that, James turned around and headed to the president's office.
FHis steady footsteps echoed in the spacious room. The armchair that he was sitting on was spotless, without a trace of a cellphone! Instead of going towards it, he walked straight to the photo wall.
The truth was, his cellphone was in his pant pocket this whole time. Fie was only here for one reason ...
Standing in front of the photo wall, James tilted his head slightly to make sure that no one was coming. Then he reached out - to tear off the photo of Elizabeth Liang on the wall!
James looked at the picture of Elizabeth smiling innocently and happily in his hand and curled his lips. He was annoyed, yet smugly snorted, "Elizabeth Liang!"
He wanted to rip up the photo and throw it into the trash, but abruptly stopped
He should preserve the evidence of his first theft!
James opened his suit jacket a little and put the photo inside his inner breast pocket.
As soon as he stuffed it in and before he could put down his hand, Samuel arrived at the office door. "Did you get it, boss?"
James paused. "What?"
God damn it Samuel, didn't he ask him to wait there? Why did he have to come? He freaked him out!
"Your phone!" Samuel looked at the sofa and then at where he was standing, with his face full of suspicion. "Boss, why are you standing there if you came to get your phone?"
