Chapter 109 When he was a child
In order to make it easier to pick up Ji Huaiyu, Uncle Xu's car was parked at the door.
When Ji Chenxing went out, Ji Huaiyu was already sitting in the back seat. Uncle Xu thoughtfully opened the back door for Ji Chenxing and said, "Miss, get in the car."
Ji Chenxing also sat in the back seat.
Ji Huaiyu had not been back for a week and had a lot of things to deal with. In order to create good working conditions for Ji Huaiyu, Uncle Xu drove a Maybach with a very spacious back seat today.
This was not the first time that Ji Chenxing had ridden in a car, but it was the first time that he had sat in a vehicle with such a spacious back seat. Ji Chenxing had an indescribable sense of unreality, like a dream.
The car was not going very fast, and the city scenery passed by the car window. Commercial buildings and office buildings dozens or hundreds of stories high; blue glass that looked hot when reflecting the light; red lights, green lights, and glamorous urban men and women sitting in different cars.
It is similar to the ancient capital yet completely different.
Ji Chenxing was too obsessed with the scenery outside the car window. Ji Huaiyu stopped his work worriedly and asked, "Chenxing, are you nervous?"
Everyone in the capital knows Lu Yuzhou's character. He is polite to others, but his politeness is filled with indifference and alienation. He seems very gentle, but when he does things he is ruthless and cold-blooded, without a trace of mercy.
He is the kind of person who can only be admired from afar.
Even Ji Xueqing, who grew up in the Ji family, was a little afraid of him. This was why, although Ji Xueqing and Lu Yuzhou were childhood playmates, they did not have much of a childhood sweetheart friendship after growing up.
That's why Ji Huaiyu guessed that he was about to meet this person who was not easy to deal with. Ji Chenxing was a little nervous, so he kept looking out the window.
Ji Chenxing just shook his head and said calmly: "I'm not nervous, I'm just looking at the scenery outside the window."
Ji Huaiyu also looked out the window and briefly introduced these buildings. Then he suddenly said, "Don't worry, there will be a place for you here in the future."
Perhaps realizing that what he said revealed his ambition too much, Ji Huaiyu smiled and found another topic to cover up the issue.
"By the way, you just came to the imperial capital, so you don't know much about Lu Yuzhou. Even though this kid is so difficult to approach now, he was actually quite cute when he was a child."
The two old men had a good relationship, and Ji Huaiyu still had photos of Ji Xueqing and Lu Yuzhou playing together when they were young in his phone.
Ji Huaiyu flipped through the old photos and pointed them out to Ji Chenxing: "Look, this is Xue Qing, and the little boy next to her is Lu Yuzhou."
Ji Chenxing was intrigued by Ji Huaiyu's words and glanced at Ji Huaiyu's mobile phone.
But this glance can't be taken back.
It is true that the little boy in the photo is very cute. Ji Chenxing's pupils suddenly shrank when she saw him. Lu Yuzhou looked too much like a child she knew.
A few years ago, the prince of Beiliang was kidnapped by the Zhou State. The prince's mother was a princess from Daliang who married into the country. The prince's life or death actually affected the relationship between Daliang and Beiliang for nearly a hundred years.
Being at the border, Ji Chenxing knew that it would be too late if he waited for Jun Heng's order before setting out to rescue people.
However, Ji Zunxing was blindly loyal and did not understand the principle of "some orders from the king must be obeyed", so Ji Chenxing borrowed a sick horse from a nearby city and forged a "letter to the capital that was delivered by a horse that had died".
Because the wording and address were vague and the matter was urgent, the messenger had fainted when the horse delivered the letter. Ji Zunxing could not tell whether it was true or false, so he sent troops directly to rescue the Prince of Beiliang.
Ji Chenxing also went that day.
It should be said that Ji Chenxing went there earlier than Ji Zunxing. She had been snooping around the periphery. If Ji Zunxing refused to send troops in the end, she would find a chance to rescue the little prince herself. Fortunately, Ji Zunxing sent troops as she wished, and that was the first and last time Ji Chenxing saw that face in her life.
It looks exactly like Lu Yuzhou when he was a child!
For a moment, countless thoughts flooded into Ji Chenxing's mind.
Since I have come to this era, is it possible that the prince of Beiliang has also come?
Crown Prince is not a good title. Once you are given this name, you will become the target of criticism from other princes.
In addition, the mother of the Prince of Beiliang was from Daliang, and it was the people of Daliang who helped him when he was kidnapped. Although Daliang and Beiliang had a friendly relationship on the surface, privately speaking, there was no guarantee that he would not be regarded as a thorn in the eyes of the entire court.
Also, after rescuing the little prince, there were rumors that the Prince of Beiliang had not been in good health.
Although in recent years, the little prince became the emperor of Beiliang by accident, but Ji Chenxing thought of the comments of ancient people in his live broadcast room a few days ago. He seemed to be seriously ill, but not dead yet.
If the system stipulates that one can only come to this world after dying in that world, then Lu Yuzhou should not be the little prince.
Ji Huaiyu's hand kept sliding across the screen. The person in the photo grew up gradually, there were fewer and fewer photos of him, and the time span became longer and longer.
The last photo seemed to be taken at a press conference. Lu Yuzhou was wearing a burgundy suit and talking about something.
The flash light facing him added a gleam in his eyes, making him look like a young man full of vigor and vitality.
Ji Chenxing looked at his face and suddenly thought of a question, "How old is Lu Yuzhou this year?"
Ji Huaiyu hissed, raised his head slightly and thought for a moment, "Twenty-two? Or twenty-three? He skipped a few grades when he was in school, and although he has been in charge of the family for three or two years, he is only four or five years older than you and Xue Qing."
Ji Chenxing said "Oh". If the little emperor of Beiliang was still alive, he would be only fifteen years old this year. His age did not match that of Lu Yuzhou, so they should not be the same person.
After looking at Lu Yuzhou's photos, Ji Huaiyu breathed a sigh of relief. "Now that you know him a little better, you won't be so nervous, right? In fact, the reason I asked you to come with me this time is because you want to acquire Fengshi."
Ji Huaiyu put away his phone and said, "Fengshi is an entertainment company. Its business is quite different from ours. We cannot use ours as a model for development and reference."
Ji Chenxing understood, and the curve of his mouth corners widened a little.
"Because Lu Corporation is an entertainment company, so Dad, you said you were here to visit me, but you were actually here to teach me?"
Before Ji Huaiyu could say anything, his cell phone rang. He saw who was calling and answered the call, not forgetting to give Ji Chenxing a thumbs up.
Ji Chenxing continued to look out the window, but heard Ji Huaiyu suddenly say in a stern voice: "What? The contract has been signed, so why is that foreigner doing something weird? Aren't you afraid of losing money? Well, okay... wait for me, I'll be there in a while."
As soon as Ji Huaiyu finished speaking, Uncle Xu's car had already stopped downstairs of the Lu Group.
"Chen Xing, I'm sorry, I have something urgent to do." Ji Huaiyu's face was a little struggling, "I should have brought Xue Qing and Yun Fan with me earlier, how about I take you to a nearby coffee shop first and wait for them to come over before bringing you in?"
Ji Huaiyu's company affairs are no trivial matters, and Ji Chenxing will not make things difficult for Ji Huaiyu on such matters.
"No need, Dad. I'll go in by myself. You just do your thing." Ji Chenxing got out of the car carrying the gift prepared by Ji Huaiyu. "No need to ask Xueqing and the others to make another trip."
No matter what, the Ji and Lu families have a previous friendship, so Ji Huaiyu doesn't have to worry about Ji Chenxing going to Lu's group.
Ji Huaiyu waved to Ji Chenxing and shouted from a distance: "Then wait in their lobby for a while. I'll ask Lu Yuzhou to send someone to pick you up."
