The Lu family was preparing to eat that day when Lu Feng stood up and saw someone coming in. When he saw who it was, he became excited.

"Brother? Why didn't you tell us you were coming back? We could have come to pick you up."

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Zhang Junyi following behind Lu Anyang.

Song Lanzhi smiled and said, "It's good that you're back. It's time to eat. Let's go and have dinner."

Lin Wanwan looked at the two people opposite her and joked, "Big brother, why have you been abroad for so long this time? Did you have so much fun overseas that you don't want to come back?"

"That's impossible. My family is all in China. How could I not come back? It's just that some things at my overseas company have kept me from coming back."

"Oh, I thought my brother had abandoned his family."

Lu Anyang joked, "Then I'll have to sue you for defamation."

The atmosphere at home improved considerably after he returned.

"I heard from Junyi that Xiaoming was bullied recently?" Lu Anyang asked his nephew.

Lu Ming shook his head, "It's not so much being bullied, it's more like we're bullying each other."

Lu Anyang couldn't help but laugh. "I knew it. With your personality, how could you let someone bully you?"

Lu Ming laughed too, "I almost got expelled."

Lu Anyang raised an eyebrow, "That serious?"

Lu Jing immediately nodded in agreement and chattered on as he told Lu Anyang what had happened.

After listening, Lu Anyang shook his head and turned to ask Lin Wanwan, "Did you reject the Zhou family regarding the previous collaboration with the technology company?"

"They weren't the best partners to begin with. The Zhou family seems to live in the shadow of the previous generation. I wanted to give them face, but the head of the family doesn't seem to care much, so let's just leave it at that."

Lu Anyang sneered and looked at Lu Feng, saying, "If Zhou Ming wants to expand his business, you'd better remind him to break away from the Zhou family, otherwise he'll only end up declining along with the Zhou family."

Lu Feng paused for a moment. He didn't know much about business, but his brother had already said so...

Lin Wanwan thought he didn't believe her, so she spoke frankly.

"The management model within the Zhou family is too outdated. Business operations and finances are in a mess, and investments are also a mess. If this continues, problems will inevitably arise sooner or later."

"Your wife is being too tactful. The Zhou family is in complete chaos. They're relatives of this person and relatives of that person. When problems arise, no one knows where to start reforming. It was bound to cause problems sooner or later, and now they're already in trouble."

The reason the Zhou family wants to cooperate with our technology company is to use this opportunity to transform their business, implement internal reforms, and completely withdraw from the group.

This time, Lin Wanwan was surprised, "Withdrawal?"

"I just received the news. On the surface, it is the Zhou family that is negotiating with us, and the contract is to be signed by a subsidiary of the Zhou family. However, that subsidiary is currently negotiating an acquisition with another company, whose legal representative is Zhou Ming."

Lu Feng frowned as he looked at his brother. "Are you sure?"

Lu Anyang retorted, "When have I ever joked about something like this?"

Lu Anyang stared at him for a long time before slowly speaking.

"However, Zhou Ming is unaware of this matter; he probably doesn't even know that he owns such a company."

Lu Anyang still frowned.

Has the collaboration with the tech company been finalized?

Lu Anyang looked at Lin Wanwan.

Lin Wanwan thought for a moment before replying carefully, "We had already stopped cooperating with the Zhou family. Recently, we have been talking to another company that was established not long ago. This company is newly established, but it meets our requirements in all aspects."

Lu Anyang nodded, "I heard from Junyi that the company is not bad and we can continue to get in touch with them."

"That's what I think too. Cooperation can't be rushed; we can't be too hasty."

Lu Anyang turned to look at his younger brother and sighed, "You're working on getting along well with Zhou Ming. Remind him that his brother isn't doing anything wrong, but people's hearts are unpredictable. Be careful not to get caught up in his brother's trap in the future."

Lu Feng looked at his brother with an unfathomable gaze.

“You know nothing about business. There are too many twists and turns involved, much more complicated than what you do at work. The law is very comprehensive now. If his brother does this, it could easily get Zhou Ming locked up. I'm just reminding him because we're friends. Whether he listens or not is his own business. Don't interfere too much.”

Lu Feng nodded after a long while.

Lu Anyang checked the time. "It's too late. I'm going back to my courtyard."

After saying that, he left with Zhang Junyi.

Seeing that Lu Feng's expression was not good, Lin Wanwan reached out and hugged him.

"What's wrong? Although what my brother said was a bit direct, he's not wrong. If his brother has some bad intentions, or if he does something and doesn't want to take responsibility, and tries to pin it on Zhou Ming, Zhou Ming might end up in jail."

My brother didn't mean anything by it; he just wanted you to remind him. After all, he's a friend we grew up with, and we can't just stand by and watch him get taken advantage of.

Lu Feng sighed after a long while and hugged Lin Wanwan back.

“Zhou Ming’s relationship with his older brother is quite delicate. Although he also invests with us and has his own company, he never does business similar to Zhou’s. So his company has been stagnant for the past few years. But he has made a lot of money by investing with you and Jiang Dongsheng.”

Lin Wanwan sighed, "So there are too few families like ours. We need to treat our older brother and mother even better in the future."

Lu Feng couldn't help but laugh.

"You go back to sleep first, I'll call Zhou Ming."

Lin Wanwan nodded and returned to the courtyard without saying anything.

A few days later, Zhou Ming brought gifts to the door.

Seeing Lin Wanwan enter in a plain-colored cheongsam, Zhou Ming greeted her politely, "Sister-in-law, you get up so early on weekends?"
