Chapter 535: Agreement
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Lu Jun never expected that not only was this girl not flustered in the face of danger, but she could also ask for an exorbitant price at this time and take the initiative to propose conditions.
He was stunned for a moment before his expression returned to calm. He said in a low voice, “Miss Shi, you should know the unpredictable principle of life. I can’t agree to it easily.”
Shi Man looked back at him expressionlessly. “Everything depends on the person. As long as you want it, what can’t be done? Or are you so sure that your proud student will lose to me easily?”
Lu Jun widened his eyes in surprise. To be honest, logically speaking, he did not think that Shi Man would beat Chu Yue, but for some reason, Lu Jun always had an inexplicable intuition.
This intuition told him that he could not easily agree to her offer, because he might very well have to pay for his rash promise.
However, even if he could still keep his composure, Chu Yue could not take it anymore.
As early as when Shi Man dared to make such a request and bargained with Lu Jun, she had already disliked Shi Man more and more.
She was so calm and composed. Did she not take her seriously at all?
Ever since she was young, she had been sought after everywhere she went. No one had ever looked down on her like this!
Chu Yue glared at her angrily. She could not care less about Lu Jun’s intentions and agreed on his behalf. “Alright, as long as you can beat me, the Shi family will be in charge of our orders for the next five years. But if you lose, not only will the Shi family not have the chance to obtain this easy order, but you can’t participate in the bidding in the future.”
Shi Man raised her eyebrows and said proudly, “Deal.”
Invisible smoke spread between them. The order of hundreds of millions was hurriedly finalized by the two of them.
Not only did Lu Jun frown, but even Shi Zhong, who had always put on a poker face, could not help but change his expression.
He couldn’t sit still anymore and stood up from the sofa. He looked at Lu Jun expressionlessly and said, “Leader, you must be tired from all the way here. Why don’t I get Butler Qi to bring you to rest and take a look at your rooms first? As for the competition, you have to consider it carefully.”
In Shi Zhong’s opinion, this competition was simply nonsense.
Without this incident, he was determined to get this year’s order. However, if it was really as the two of them had said just now, their family would forever miss the cooperation with the army and become the joke of the entire G City once Shi Man lost.
At that time, not only would he offend the leader, but he would also be suppressed by the Lin family. The future of the Shi family would probably be worrying.
He did not think that Shi Man could deal with the instructor of the capital with her skills!
However, in Chu Yue’s opinion, Shi Zhong’s words were no different from admitting defeat. She looked even more smug, and the disdain in her eyes was not concealed at all. “Miss Shi, you agreed so readily. So you’re relying on the fact that your father would always back you up? Miss Shi made it very clear just now. If you want to admit defeat, don’t blame us for leaving.”
“But…” Shi Zhong was angry, but he tried his best to smooth things over on the surface. “Chief Lu, I think we should forget about this competition. My daughter has never practiced martial arts, so this competition is meaningless. Why don’t we eat first and sit down to chat?”
No one responded to Shi Zhong.
Lu Jun stared at Chu Yue’s back with a dark expression.
His concerns were the opposite of Shi Zhong’s. The reason why he had not said anything until now was to figure out what the uneasiness in his heart was.
But now that things had come to this, things would probably develop in a worse direction if he didn’t speak.
Chu Yue was impatient and irritable. If he did not let her have her way this time, the matter would probably not be resolved.
Silence gradually spread in the living room. Everyone’s hearts were in their throats, waiting for an answer.
Lu Jun sighed deeply and slowly stood up with his walking stick. He walked to the two of them and stared at Shi Man with a deep gaze. “Little girl, I can agree to what you just said, but correspondingly, you have to keep your promise and not try a cheap shot behind our backs.”
His last sentence meant something.
Shi Zhong clenched his fists anxiously. Just as he was about to persuade him again, Lu Jun beat him to it and said, “Then let’s go to your courtyard. When I came, it looked very spacious. You can apply your skills there.”
“Teacher, you’re so considerate.” Chu Yue smiled smugly and took the lead to walk out.
Shi Zhong glared at Shi Man in anger at her willfulness. However, at this point, he was helpless to change anything. He could only snort coldly and turn to leave behind the army.
The reason why the Shi family took the risk to snatch the business from the Lin family this time was actually to avenge Shi He. However, all of this was clearly nothing compared to Shi Man’s safety.
The brothers of the Shi family regretted not protecting their sister well.
Shi Mu hugged Shi Man’s shoulder and looked determined to carry everything for her. “Don’t worry, I’ll beat her up later! At most, you’ll be beaten up.. It’s not embarrassing!”
