Meeting of the L.L.s
The World of Metropolis was a mini-series John Byrne wrote detailing the post-Crisis backstories of its famous citizens (Perry White, Jimmy Olsen, etc.)

From its pages, here is the first meeting between Lois Lane and Lex Luthor...

This was one of John Byrne's less remembered (thank goodness) alterations to the Superman mythos.

The problem, though, that you can't really accuse this version of Luthor of being "unrealistic," because he's based on the '80s corporate tycoons of the Donald Trump mold, and if you want to talk about people who play transparently obvious asshole games ... well, Trump makes Luthor look sedate. I mean, at least LexCorp turns a PROFIT - HOW many times has Trump declared bankruptcy, again, and people STILL do deals with him?

No, I'm afraid this is one of those cases where reality itself is an even worse writer than Byrne.

I don't know which version I'd prefer...

"Samuel, you're fired... Miss Jenkins, fetch my flamethrower"

or

"Samuel, you are devious, underhanded, would sell your own grandmother for the price of a pack of gum and have the morals of a rabid, sex-starved alley-cat. You remind me of myself at a young age... and that makes you dangerous. You're hired, until the first time you challenge me"
