Losing both the wife and the army
Old Madam Lu and Lu Qingshan looked towards the door together. When they saw Qin Siyan walking in, the expressions on their faces instantly relaxed.
Lu Qingshan subconsciously stood up from his seat.
"Mr. Qin." Lu Qingshan smiled and took the initiative to extend his hand to greet him. Worried that Qin Siyan didn't recognize him, he quickly introduced himself: "I am Lu Jin's uncle."
Qin Siyan politely but distantly extended his hand to shake hands with Lu Qingshan: "Hello, Mr. Lu."
Lu Qingshan smiled and took his hand back, then made an inviting gesture towards Qin Siyan: "Mr. Qin, please sit inside."
Qin Siyan nodded, but did not let go of Lu Jin's hand.
Arriving in the living room, Qin Siyan looked at Madam Lu, who was sitting on a chair with a smile on her face. The smile on her face was even more distant than before: "Madam Lu, sorry to bother you."
Madam Lu said gently, "Don't bother me. I'm so happy that Young Master Qin can come with Lu Jin."
Qin Siyan turned his head to look at Lu Jin beside him, but was caught off guard by her gaze. Qin Siyan's ears turned red, and he looked away uncomfortably. His voice was low but loud enough for people to hear clearly: "I'm worried about her coming back alone so late."
The two of them were inseparable, and Mrs. Lu saw it all with a smile on her face.
Lu Qingshan stood by and watched the interaction between the three people, his heart sinking little by little.
Originally, after seeing the video and photos, Mrs. Lu had already thought of taking things that Lu Jin did in the company today lightly.
Now that Qin Siyan has come here with her, and the two of them are even not shy about being intimate, I'm afraid that Madam Lu will no longer pursue the matter that Lu Jin did in the company!
After Qin Siyan took Lu Jin to sit down, he sat next to him.
Lu Jin watched the reactions of Old Madam Lu and Lu Qingshan without any expression.
It seems that she really doesn't know why Madam Lu asked her to come back today?
After sitting down, Lu Jin asked politely, "Grandma, is there something you want to talk to me about?"
Qin Siyan was sitting in the living room. The smile on Mrs. Lu's face never faded. At this moment, Lu Jin asked. Mrs. Lu asked with concern: "This is your first day at work today. I just want to ask if you have encountered any difficulties?"
Mrs. Lu’s words made Lu Qingshan’s face even uglier at this moment.
He sat in the chair, pursed his lips and clenched his back teeth tightly.
"Yes!" Lu Jin's clear voice rang out.
Qin Siyan beside her frowned slightly, her heart sank instantly. Someone actually bullied her in the company!
Lu Qingshan looked at the person almost subconsciously. He had already planned to give up on causing trouble for Lu Jin today, but he didn't expect that this girl would actually bring up this matter on her own initiative and seek her own death.
Mrs. Lu's expression remained unchanged. She looked at Lu Jin with a smile and motioned for her to speak out.
Lu Jin turned his head to look at Lu Qingshan.
Lu Qingshan: “…”
This look is definitely a provocation!
Lu Jin calmly withdrew his gaze and looked at Madam Lu again, asking curiously, "Grandma, has your uncle been managing the branch before?"
Madam Lu tilted her head and her eyes fell on Lu Qingshan. Lu Qingshan's heart sank and he quickly explained, "I had previously handed over the affairs of the Yucheng branch to Shaoyu."
Lu Jin asked back, "Uncle, do you mean that my cousin knows everything about the branch's current situation?"
Lu Qingshan looked serious, his eyes fixed sharply on Lu Jin. This girl couldn't possibly dare to throw dirty water on his son!
"Shao Yu has been busy at the head office for the past two years, and he's also had to take care of the branch office's affairs. It's already a rare opportunity. You want to discredit your cousin on your first day there?"
Lu Qingshan's attitude instantly chilled Qin Siyan's aura, and his already distant and indifferent eyes became icy cold at this moment.
Lu Jin paused for a moment, a look of sudden enlightenment on his face. "So that's why I was wondering why the branch office was in such a mess. It turns out it's because my cousin has so many responsibilities and can't manage it properly."
"What do you mean?" Lu Qingshan's tone suddenly darkened: "Lu Jin, don't try to put the blame on Shaoyu."
"You just went to the company today and you offended all the senior executives, even to the point of sending someone to the police station. Do you know how much of an impact this would have on the Lu Group if it became a big deal?"
The light in Qin Siyan's eyes turned completely cold. Just as he was about to stand up, his hand was held by Lu Jin beside him.
He tilted his head to look at people, but Lu Jin held her hand tightly, without looking at him, and squeezed it lightly with a hint of comfort.
Qin Siyan felt as if his heart was squeezed, and a tingling sensation spread throughout his body.
Facing Lu Qingshan's questioning, Lu Jin's smile deepened. She asked in return, "So, uncle thinks that their embezzlement and misappropriation of public funds should be tolerated?"
"That's not what I meant." Lu Qingshan retorted angrily, "I just think you should handle this matter in a more respectable way."
"Respectable?" Lu Jin raised an eyebrow and smiled deeply. "What uncle means respectable is just like my cousin. He doesn't care about anything. Even if he knows about it, he still condones it. He allowed the branch company to suffer losses for the past few years, and even needed a certain amount of support from the head office. He kept pampering them until he had whetted everyone's appetite."
"By then, they will no longer be satisfied with the interests of a small branch and will start to plot against the head office."
"Is this the dignity of an uncle?"
As Lu Jin questioned him again and again, Lu Qingshan's face turned as dark as the bottom of a pot. He opened his mouth to refute several times, but was interrupted by Lu Jin every time.
Lu Jin paused, very satisfied with Lu Qingshan's obviously angry expression. She turned her head to look at Mrs. Lu. The aggression in her body disappeared in an instant, and instead revealed a kind of melancholy: "Grandma, if you really want to do this according to what uncle said, I really can't do it."
"Since Grandma asked me to work at the head office, she wanted to give me a chance. I naturally cannot let Grandma down!"
"Even if I can't contribute to the company, I at least know that I can't let the company's interests be harmed."
"I was just weeding out some bad apples for the company, but in my uncle's eyes, these were unforgivable crimes."
"Furthermore, the woman who was arrested today wasn't a true talent or a key employee. She was simply the mistress of a senior executive in the company, parachuted into that position and even fired the original key employee."
"I just sent this person who was harmful to the company to the police station, but my uncle said I was wrong."
"Grandma, this is my first time at the company. I don't know much about the company culture and I don't know what I should do to benefit the company."
Lu Jin looked at Madam Lu sincerely and asked humbly: "Grandma, can you teach me?"
The smile on Mrs. Lu's face disappeared, and her intimidating gaze fell on Lu Qingshan.
Meeting Madam Lu's gaze, Lu Qingshan stood up from his chair and explained anxiously, "Mom, don't listen to her nonsense. That's definitely not what I meant."
Lu Qingshan was obviously so angry that he had lost his mind. His face was gloomy and he turned around to scold Lu Jin: "Lu Jin, you——"
"Shut up!" Mrs. Lu interrupted him in a deep voice.
These two words made Lu Qingshan silent instantly, but his face was full of unwillingness, and even his gaze at Lu Jin became gloomy.
Madam Lu pursed her lips, a hint of disappointment flashing across her eyes.
No matter how old I am, I still can't keep my composure.
Just a few words from a little girl can make him lose his mind. How can he accomplish anything in the future if he is so impulsive?
He didn't notice that Qin Siyan's face beside him was already very unhappy, and he was still thinking about scolding Lu Jin!
After all, Lu Jin's current identity is Qin Siyan's girlfriend. Even if they are Lu Jin's family, scolding Lu Jin in front of Qin Siyan is obviously embarrassing for Qin Siyan.
Moreover, from the conversation just now, Qin Siyan knew that letting Lu Jin take up the position in the branch was just a perfunctory measure. What would Qin Siyan think?
If Lu Jin really marries into the Qin family in the future, what will the Qin family think of them?
Old Madam Lu was in a very bad mood, and she looked at Lu Qingshan with a look of disappointment!
Sure enough, compared to the second brother, the eldest brother is always a little inferior to him!
Old Madam Lu's eyes slowly fell on Lu Jin, and the expression on her face became kind and gentle.
Even though she was a little unhappy about Lu Jin making a fuss about this matter in front of Qin Siyan, she would not show it in front of Qin Siyan.
On the contrary, she tried her best to show her care and preference for Lu Jin!
Let Qin Siyan feel that she cares about her granddaughter Lu Jin!
"You did nothing wrong in this matter. It's your uncle who is wrong!" Mrs. Lu said seriously, and did not hide her praise for Lu Jin.
When Lu Qingshan heard this, he clenched his fists even more, his whole body filled with unwillingness.
"Really?" Lu Jin looked at Mrs. Lu excitedly, as if he was so lucky to get the recognition from the elders.
Such a sincere look made Mrs. Lu's face look dazed for a rare moment, but such an emotion was fleeting and so fast that it was impossible to catch it.
"Well, you did a great job." Mrs. Lu smiled and nodded.
Then, Madam Lu looked at Lu Qingshan, who still looked unconvinced, and said coldly: "Since Shaoyu is too busy now, all matters of Yucheng Branch will be handed over to Lu Jin in the future."
Lu Qingshan suddenly looked up, but when he met Madam Lu's cold and majestic eyes, he couldn't say a word of rebuttal.
Ignoring Lu Qingshan, Madam Lu looked at Lu Jin again with a serious and earnest expression: "I will completely hand over the Yucheng branch to you. From today on, you have all the rights to manage the branch!"
Madam Lu paused, glanced at Lu Qingshan, and continued, "It's your uncle's fault for what happened today. I'll ask him to apologize to you."
After Madam Lu finished speaking, she looked at Lu Qingshan.
Under pressure, Lu Qingshan had no choice but to bite the bullet and say to Lu Jin: "This matter is my uncle's fault. I'm sorry."
Lu Jin smiled slightly: "It's good that you admit your mistake, uncle."
These words made Lu Qingshan so angry that he gritted his teeth and turned his head away angrily without looking at anyone!
The villain succeeds!!!
Madam Lu had been observing Qin Siyan. Seeing this, she said to Lu Jin, "To make up for it, I plan to give you the Guanzhou project. Can you complete it?"
"Mom?!" Lu Qingshan widened his eyes and looked at Madam Lu in disbelief.
He has been in charge of this project, and now he is handing it over to Lu Jin. What's the difference between this and slapping him in the face in public?
"Thank you, grandma." Lu Jin looked at Mrs. Lu with emotion.
Madam Lu smiled and noticed Qin Siyan, whose expression hadn't eased much. She smiled and said to Lu Jin, "If anyone dares to say anything bad about you again, come find me. I'll support you."
"Yeah, okay." Lu Jin nodded obediently.
Lu Qingshan stood aside, feeling unhappy.
He never thought that such a thing that would lose both the wife and the army would happen to him one day.
If Lu Jin hadn't come back today, this wouldn't have happened!
"It's getting late, and Mr. Qin still needs to rest. Do you want to rest at grandma's place tonight or go back to the apartment over there?" Mrs. Lu asked with concern.
"I'll go back to the apartment. It's close to the company, so Qin Siyan can pick me up a little later tomorrow morning."
Madam Lu had no objection and nodded: "Okay, you should go back and rest early."
Throughout the whole process, Qin Siyan was like a tool and didn't say much.
After saying goodbye to Madam Lu, the two left.
In the living room, Madam Lu did not stand up, but instead set her eyes on Lu Qingshan again, and said in a deep voice: "Qingshan, you disappoint me so much!"
Lu Qingshan subconsciously lowered his head: "Mom, the branch office's matter——"
"You thought I was talking about this?" Mrs. Lu interrupted Lu Qingshan and shook her head in disappointment. "Why is Lu Jin standing here today?"
Without waiting for Lu Qingshan to speak, Madam Lu said solemnly: "It's because of Qin Siyan!"
"And you, trying to criticize Lu Jin in front of Qin Siyan, do you even know what you're doing?"
"That little girl Lu Jin just said a few simple words and you lost your composure! You really haven't made any progress in all these years!"
"Mom, I..."
Before Lu Qingshan could finish his explanation, Madam Lu raised her hand to stop him: "Go back and think carefully about what happened today. If you act rashly like you did today again, I think I'll have to reconsider the issue of the heir!"
This sentence made Lu Qingshan happy and afraid.
However, when he met Madam Lu's tired eyes, he could only nod and leave resignedly.
Coming out of the old house, Lu Qingshan kicked the car angrily.
He was unwilling to give the Guanzhou project to Lu Jin.
She is just a young girl, but he will let her know that if you get something that does not belong to you, it will be fatal!
