If u use your eye dropper in photoshop and click on the whitish parts within each pic, you can then see the color tint that was applied,and which u like.

And now u can use whatever tool you prefer to adjust towards that.eg color balance, hue/saturation,etc. It was also de-saturated and rather heavy with black?

Yours quite off that standard.

in simple sense, its abit of desaturation, underexposure. more blacks.

Do I need to use greenish colour tint in Lightroom as well? Thanks.

The tint slider is part of the White Balance settings. So in case you get some greenish tint due to fluorescent light you can remove it here. There are much more precise sliders in the box for colour adjustments (Hue / Saturation / Luminescence).
