177 The Next Dragon (2/2)

Iris stood at the side, amused at her financial manager's sudden subservient behaviour. It seemed that her new mentor was really someone impressive and respected by people of the business world.

After the greetings, Grandpa Lu led Iris and Qiao Yu to his home office. The place was almost bare and looked like it wasn't used often.

”I've had this place for years, but this is actually the first time that I'm staying here. I even forgot that I have this property! Ahahaha! But I still prefer the open fields and nature than the bustling city!” Grandpa Lu turned to Iris. ”Xiulan my girl, why don't you, Kalisha and Akio move to my mansion instead? It's pretty big. We'll all fit in there!”

Iris smiled before shaking her head. ”Thank you for the invitation, Grandpa Lu, but I can't. I'm currently living with my boyfriend.”

”What?! Aren't you progressing too fast in your relationship?! You have to think things through carefully first!”

She just smiled politely, not saying anything, but Grandpa Lu could feel her stubbornness.

While the two were talking, Qiao Yu sat in a daze. Was he dreaming? If he wasn't seeing the evidence with his own eyes, he would never believe that Iris' new business mentor was THE Lu Jianhong. How did this happen? And from hearing them talk, it seemed that they were quite close. She was calling him Grandpa, for goodness' sake! This was just unbelievable!

After the small talk and refreshments, they began to talk business.

The boisterous Grandpa Lu suddenly became serious, strict and focused. He carefully studied every detail of Iris' financial portfolio that Qiao Yu was currently managing. He questioned Qiao Yu several times.

At first, Qiao Yu felt very nervous (and honestly scared) in front of the business legend but as time went on, he calmed down and stopped hesitating in his answers. After all, this was his element and what he was good at.

Grandpa Lu stroked his mustache as he listened to the financial manager. He nodded, approving of him.

”From now on, you'll also meet me regularly,” he told Qiao Yu. ”The three of us will strategize on how to improve this girl's finances. We are going to raise the next dragon of the business world! Don't you find it exciting? Ahahaha!”

Qiao Yu was shocked but his head was already nodding on its own. Then he looked at the nonchalant Iris who was calmly sipping her tea, as if she wasn't the dragon the business legend was referring to.

This…what in the world was happening today?
