A refreshing fragrance filled the study. Following the direction of the faint scent, one could see the orchid in the corner of Lu Hongfeng's father's desk.
Looking around, the study was arranged just as before.
Lu Xizhou went over and sat on the sofa.
"Your mother has such a bad temper, but when it comes to you, she can't do anything about it."
Lu Hongfeng closed the study door, came over and sat opposite Lu Xizhou, boiling water and washing teacups as he did so. "They say good relationships can help people grow. I have to say, you've really started to look like a normal person these past few months!"
In the past, I would go to the company during the day and leave early, arriving late.
As night fell, the intoxicating nightlife officially began.
A group of spoiled brats from wealthy families in Sicheng, who share the same wicked ways, gather together to eat, drink, and have fun; just listening to them is boring.
Lu Xizhou is the best among them.
You might not see your son for ten days or half a month, but if you randomly flip through an entertainment tabloid, you'll definitely see him every day.
I hired a young model today.
Tomorrow, I'll spend a fortune to gift a small-time celebrity an apartment.
In the vast city of Sicheng, when Lu Shao is mentioned, who doesn't give him a thumbs up and praise him for his "magnanimity"?
Because of this, Lu Hongfeng was so worried that he could hardly sleep.
But if you say that Lu Xizhou is a spendthrift, Lu Hongfeng can't agree.
Although he was somewhat unconventional in his dealings with others, Lu Xizhou never failed in his serious work at the company.
Not to mention that he also knew that Master Fu from the capital.
Lu Xizhou took over the land and projects that were previously a headache at the shareholders' meeting, and after a few business dinners and drinks, he came back and the deal was done.
But that's precisely why Lu Hongfeng has an even bigger headache.
If you have the ability, why can't you be more mature and serious?
In this way, when he hands over the company to him, the shareholders feel at ease, and the employees feel at ease too.
But he didn't.
So much so that at the shareholders' meeting, when the shareholders heard that he was going to step down, they all voted against it, as if the company would go bankrupt and be restructured the day after Lu Xizhou took over.
But in the past few months, Lu Xizhou seems to have become a different person.
We're not going to eat, drink, or have fun anymore.
It was as if he had awakened, and he took root in the office.
Some employees work 9 to 5 (996), while others work 8 to 8 (007), and sometimes they simply live in the office.
He had seen the company's third-quarter financial report, and the data was the highest it had been in many years.
The fourth quarter isn't over yet, but it's already visibly higher than the third quarter.
Everything was perfect.
Except for Qin and Chu.
The Lu family also has a partnership with the Qin family in the capital.
Once the company is handed over to Lu Xizhou, Lu Xizhou and Qin Yuchen, the eldest son of the Qin family, will be powerful partners.
In three to five years, the Lu family will be able to return to the capital and no longer need to occupy Sicheng.
But ironically, the woman Lu Xizhou fell in love with was the one Qin Yuchen had made a harsh statement about in the industry.
Qin Yuchen said that anyone who befriends Qin Chu is his enemy.
If things have come to this point and Lu Xizhou still maintains an ambiguous relationship with Qin Chu, then it's not just that he himself is confused, but that the entire Lu family is confused.
"I heard everything you just said. I won't interfere in your love life..."
Lu Xizhou looked up in surprise.
Lu Hongfeng glanced at him and said, "But I think, shouldn't you calm down a little? You're just young people in love, all you need is love, and you can throw everything else aside. But life can't be all about love, right? You two have only been together for less than half a year, and you're already talking about marriage, isn't that a bit too early?"
"Old Lu..."
His previously straight back gradually relaxed, and Lu Xizhou leaned back on the sofa, reverting to his usual carefree and lazy demeanor. "If you had said so earlier, none of this would have happened?"
He accepted the tea he offered, and the two clinked glasses as if drinking wine.
Lu Xizhou smiled broadly and gestured with his chin toward the living room, "Old Lu, whoever's woman it is, handles it! You take care of your wife's side."
"She's definitely my wife, isn't she your mother?"
Lu Hongfeng glanced at Lu Xizhou with annoyance, got up, took a document from the table, and handed it to Lu Xizhou. "Although you weren't involved in this GMT cooperation project, it's a major project for the company next year. I think it would be better for you, as the executive vice president, to go and keep an eye on it."
"Once this project is finished, I will smoothly step down and hand over the reins to a more capable person. You, as the vice president, can then naturally become the president."
Lu Xizhou took it and flipped through it rapidly, his expression gradually becoming serious.
The study remained quiet for more than ten minutes.
It wasn't until Lu Xizhou finished reading the entire document that this continued.
Seeing the approval at the end of the document, Lu Xizhou curled his lips and said, "Old Lu, that's how it is; experience really matters."
Lu Hongfeng was taken aback.
Lu Xizhou picked up his teacup and drank it all in one gulp. "Okay, I have no objection. I'll leave after the meeting on Monday."
Seemingly unsurprised that Lu Xizhou would nod, Lu Hongfeng's face lit up with joy.
Lu Xizhou stood up and faced outwards.
She stopped at the study door, turned around and looked at Lu Hongfeng. "Dad, I'm almost 30, I'm already 29. Don't you and Mom keep using the same tricks you used when I was little?"
Lu Hongfeng looked up.
Lu Xizhou sneered, "One plays the good cop, the other the bad cop. My mother finished scolding, and then you, the earnest and loving father, conveniently appeared. Dad, you don't actually think that sending me abroad for more than half a year means my relationship with Qin Chu is over, do you? Do you look down on your son, or on Qin Chu?"
"I……"
"Alright, Dad, stop explaining. I was just pretending to be stupid, I'm not really stupid!"
Lu Xizhou waved the documents in his hand. "Dad, let me tell you the truth! I agreed to your assignment abroad partly for the company, and partly to prove to you that I'm serious about Qin Chu! Even if I'm stuck in a rut for the rest of my life, unable to return to China or go to the capital, believe me or not, we can't break up!"
Lu Hongfeng's expression changed slightly.
The door opened, Lu Xizhou waved, and went straight outside.
"Mom, starting next week, you won't be seeing me for six months... You and Lao Lu should enjoy your time together and try to have another baby when I get back! Preferably a little brother. My main account is pretty much useless now, so you two should focus on building up your alternate account!"
"Lu Xizhou, you bastard, if you don't watch your mouth, I'll..."
Seeing Yu Wanqing chasing after him with an angry expression, Lu Xizhou decisively locked the door.
boom……
With a tap of the accelerator, the Ferrari roared out of the Lujia villa district.
A brightly lit street scene.
Brightly lit landmark buildings.
Lu Xizhou's face was grim, as if he couldn't see anything.
boom……
Boom! Boom!
It was as if they had flown an airplane all the way to my doorstep.
The engine was turned off, and the surroundings became quiet.
Lu Xizhou let go of his hand and leaned back in the seat as if all his strength had left him.
Look at this dark villa.
Let's take another look at the dispatch documents in the passenger seat.
Lu Xizhou remained silent for a long time before dialing Qin Chu's number.
