335 Finding Lu Chao
To President Liu, Shi Jun would be a more stable choice for the company compared to Chu Zhe. That would not be Chu Zhe’s final destination, but Shi Jun could continue to work in the company.
Once President Liu gave the position of branch manager to Chu Zhe, it would only result in Shi Jun’s dissatisfaction, and it would not be worth it.
“You guys still don’t understand President Liu,” Chu Zhe muttered softly to himself.
Everyone naturally thought that Chu Zhe would become the branch manager, but this was not the case. Chu Zhe understood this very well.
On the other hand, after finishing her lunch, Chu Ning called Lu Chao. After finding out his exact location, she left the place with Bai Hong without any hesitation.
“It’s so strange. Why would such a person appear in an internet café?” Following the address given by Lu Chao, Chu Ning turned on the navigation system and went there in a taxi.
However, the location shown by the navigation was very remote. They were almost at the edge of S City; additionally, it was an internet café.
Chu Ning found it difficult to understand. Could it be that the internet café’s environment and hardware were better? Chu Ning immediately rejected this idea. The main purpose of an internet café was to play games. Unless one had a unique hobby or some other reason, no one would be willing to work in an environment like that of an internet café.
The most important thing was that unless it was a private room, there was no personal space in the internet cafe.
“Looks like Second Brother was right. This Lu Chao’s personality is indeed a little weird,” Chu Ning thought to herself.
After more than 40 minutes, Chu Ning finally arrived at the destination shown on the navigation system.
What was before her seemed to be at the periphery of a small district. Chu Ning saw an inconspicuous internet cafe below the residential building.
“Are you sure you didn’t make a mistake? What kind of person are you looking for that will be here?” Bai Hong asked in confusion.
“Er… He shouldn’t have the need to lie to me.” Chu Ning was also somewhat embarrassed. When she walked in, she realized that there were many minors completely absorbed in playing computer games. Business was brisk and it was very lively.
There were many things that attracted these minors there. For example, the price was cheap, the location remote, and it was not easy to be discovered by parents or the police. More importantly, there was no need to show an ID card to use that internet cafe.
Lu Chao said that he was on the second floor of the internet café. Chu Ning and Bai Hong walked over and found that almost all the seats were taken. It was a weekend that day, and the internet café did not require an ID card to access the internet. It was very popular with minors.
“Hello, I’ve arrived at the second floor.” After Chu Ning went up to the second floor, she found that the place was filled with people sitting in front of the computers. The second floor was even bigger than the first floor. Chu Ning didn’t want to ask them one by one, so she had to make a phone call.
The call was disconnected after it connecting. However, in a corner not far away, an arm was suddenly raised.
“You’re Chu Jing’s sister? You’re quite pretty,” Lu Chao said casually, looking feebly at Chu Ning.
“You’re Lu Chao?” Chu Ning asked in disbelief.
The computer desk in front of Lu Chao was simply filthy. Chu Ning’s psychological endurance was not too bad, but even she was flabbergasted.
This was the first time she had seen such a sloppy and unkempt person.
Crumpled up cigarette boxes were scattered around him. Cigarette ash and instant noodle soup were mixed together and scattered on the computer desk. There were also empty drink bottles. What disgusted Chu Ning the most was that there were two stinky socks laying by the side… According to what Chu Ning speculated, this guy must have used his stinky socks as a rag. The tissue box on the computer desk had long been empty.
There was a peculiar and nauseating smell surrounding him, but the people near him didn’t seem to be affected and were still playing their games.
“Of course I am. Why are you here? But before that, can you consider treating me to something? I haven’t eaten for almost two days,” As Lu Chao spoke, he yawned and stretched lazily, stroking his greasy hair in satisfaction.
“Huh?” Chu Ning looked at Lu Chao in astonishment. She remembered Chu Yao telling her that Lu Chao’s family was quite well-off.
“What? You have the money to buy train tickets and get someone to follow you, it’s unlikely that you can’t afford a meal, right? I’m not saying we must go to a Michelin restaurant; as long as it can fill our stomachs,” Lu Chao continued, touching his shriveled stomach.
“Alright, then can you stand up and come with me now?” Chu Ning even suspected that Lu Chao had been living in the internet café for a long time. From his appearance, he probably hadn’t gone out for a long time.
