Chapter 909 Hidden Risks

If something happens to their in-laws, do you think the Lu family would just sit idly by?

Therefore, he cannot let his guard down until there is a definite result.

Bo Jinyan understood her implication: "Xiao Ruo, I know what you're worried about, but you also know that the president of Lu's Bank is Nan Chu. Now that Xu Chen's cheating scandal is making a huge fuss, how could Lu's Bank possibly lend him a loan?"

"Even if it really comes to a loan, given Lu Nanchu's personality, he'll definitely skin the Xu family alive!"

At that time, he can just watch from the sidelines.

He had everything planned out in advance, so why would he let her worry about something like this happen?

“That’s true.” Sang Ruo agreed with his point of view: “Nan Chu can’t tolerate betrayal from her partner. Xu Chen has crossed her bottom line. It won’t be easy for him to get past the Xu family.”

As she spoke, she gave him a bright and carefree smile: "But I still want to congratulate you! Congratulations on your successful acquisition! You've won against the Xu family again!"

"I've helped you so much, do I have any reward for me?" Bo Jinyan brought his face closer, deliberately hinting at it.

Sang Ruo kissed his handsome face with her pink lips: "Here's the reward you wanted."

"That's it?" Bo Jinyan said with some dissatisfaction, "Isn't this too perfunctory?"

His words made Sang Ruo's face instantly flush red: "You're so annoying! How about I give it to you tonight?"

"It's a deal, no backing out."

Sang Ruo nodded slightly: "But seriously, have you discussed the new project with Nan Chu? Didn't you agree to report to her? Why haven't we heard anything?"

“I also wanted to give you news, but there’s been no word from Nan Chu.” Bo Jinyan was quite worried: “I’m afraid this matter won’t be so easy to move forward.”

Of course, the specifics will depend on how the Lu family handles it.

If Lu's Bank chooses to ignore the situation or cannot sway the decisions of those old-timers, then their delayed return to China is likely a foregone conclusion.

His words cast a shadow over Sang Ruo's heart: "It seems we really have to postpone our return to China."

Given Nan Chu's personality, if there were a way to handle it, she would have done it long ago; she wouldn't have dragged it out until now.

The fact that it has dragged on until now shows that this matter is very tricky.

It was so difficult that even she, the bank manager, couldn't handle it.

...

7 PM, Lu Family Villa.

After finishing dinner at home, Lu Nanchu took the initiative to knock on the door of Lu Jinan's study.

"Come in."

Lu Nanchu pushed the door open and entered, not forgetting to close it behind him: "Dad, there's something I want to discuss with you about, it's about the new project."

Bo Jinyan asked her to tell her father, and she hesitated for an entire afternoon before finally mustering the courage to do so.

"A new project?" Lu Jinan put down the documents in his hand. "Hasn't the new project been progressing well all along?"

What's there to discuss about a project that's already underway?

So serious.

Upon hearing this, Lu Nanchu sighed: "Dad, actually the new project hasn't progressed. According to Bo Jinyan's feedback, several veteran figures in our bank have been secretly hindering the new project. He doesn't want to get involved in our family's internal strife, so I came to ask you if you have any solutions?"

"Or perhaps you could step in and explain it to them; maybe they'll change their mind about this new project?"

"You want me to step in?" Lu Jinan pointed to himself, seemingly a little surprised: "If I remember correctly, you are now the president of Lu's Bank. These tasks are within the scope of a bank president's job. Why do you want me to step in?"

"Could it be that you were instructed by Bo Jinyan? You come just because he tells you to? You listen to him so readily?"

Seeing that he had misunderstood, Lu Nanchu explained, "Dad, it's not like that. I also want to solve it, but my solution might offend those uncles and elders. After all, I'm a newly appointed bank president, and many directors may not respect me."

Although she made a lot of moves as a new leader, such as kicking the Xu family father and son out of the new project, it was all to protect the fundamental interests of the Lu family, which is why no one on the board of directors objected.

But this is like re-cutting the cake.

She really didn't want to do something that would offend people.

"If someone disagrees with you, that's where you need to hone your skills!" Lu Jinan said calmly. "As the president of Lu's Bank, if someone disagrees with you, you need to show them your abilities! Prove that you are capable!"

"If you get things done yourself, you will naturally gain everyone's recognition."

“Nan Chu, if all the presidents of our Lu's Bank were like you, doing all the easy things and leaving the difficult ones to me, how would our bank function? When it’s time to demonstrate your abilities, you must do so. Don’t be timid and hesitant, or you’ll never achieve anything great!”

Lu Nanchu knew he had a point, but said, "Dad, things aren't as you think. I actually want to redistribute the pie. Some of my uncles and elders should retire. I want Lu's Bank to embrace the market and use this project to get some of them to step down."

"What did you say? Embrace the market?" Lu Jinan couldn't believe what he had just heard. "Lu Nanchu, do you know what the foundation of our Lu Family Bank is? It's the clan! Without the clan, there would be no steady development of Lu Family Bank today!"

“I don’t object to your desire to embrace the market, but you can’t use this project to oust your uncles and elders from the board of directors! By doing this, you’re essentially severing the foundation of Lu’s Bank! Do you understand?”

This consequence is far more serious than any obstacle hindering the progress of a new project.

If Nan Chu really does this, Lu's Bank's position in the American financial world will one day be changed!

At that time, Lu's Bank will become just another ordinary bank, like those small and medium-sized banks, and will completely lose its current status!

This is no joke.

Nan Chu, why would she think that?

Lu Nanchu was stunned by his gloomy face, and after a while, she spoke again: "Dad, some of our uncles have been sitting in those positions for years. Our board of directors is full of old people, there's not a single fresh blood! Is this acceptable?"

"If you don't believe me, look back. Apart from me, Xu Chen, and Bo Jinyan, where is there any young, fresh blood?"

"Even if I don't do it, someone else will eventually! After all, the market evolves very quickly!"

She was also thinking about the future of Lu's Bank.

Why did Dad react so strongly?

Almost everyone, like Bo Jinyan, disapproved of her decision.

Was her decision really wrong?

“Nan Chu, you’re still too young.” Lu Jinan knew her intentions were good, but “your decision is too risky, too risky for you to bear!”
