Chapter 842 Invitation
New bank president?
Noticing these words, Lu Jinan narrowed his eyes: "Nan Chu, are you planning to inherit the family business? Are you sure you're ready?"
The people on the board of directors are not the friends she usually makes, who would indulge her and pamper her. They are ruthless and only care about their own interests.
Even he had to be careful dealing with this group of people. Was she sure that at her age, she could handle so many old foxes?
He couldn't help but feel doubtful.
“Dad, I’m really ready. I’ve already graduated from university, it’s time for me to gain some experience in a company.” Lu Nanchu was determined this time. “Dad, you’re getting older, and you don’t want to travel back and forth between China and the US every year, do you? I want to share your burdens, is that wrong?”
Xu Chen has now returned to the Xu family, and barring any unforeseen circumstances, he will be the next heir of the entire Xu family.
Even Xu Chen has already started preparing for these things, how can she fall behind?
She wanted Xu Chen to see whether Wen Qingyi's influence through her pillow talk was more powerful, or her own methods were more effective!
Seeing that she was serious, Lu Jinan didn't stop her: "Alright, since you've made up your mind, then let's put your marriage with Xu Chen on the agenda. But I hope that you won't regret this decision."
He had already given her all the advice he could and said everything he needed to say. If she wanted to regret it after the wedding, it would be too late.
So he was giving her a heads-up.
"Don't worry, Dad." This was a decision and choice that Lu Nanchu made herself: "Now that I've brought it up, I will absolutely not regret it."
She also hopes that her father won't regret it and won't stop her from inheriting the family business.
But she didn't say those words aloud.
...
One month later, Qinyuan Bay.
After such a long period of recuperation, Sang Ruo's health has improved a lot. The clinic is still under construction, and the traditional Chinese culture studio hasn't caused any trouble since she brought Song Sui back. The only problem is that the newly produced jade carvings are not selling well.
Sang Ruo could only speed up the process and continue designing new jade carvings, but after she got off work, a distinguished guest suddenly arrived at her door.
"Nan Chu?" Sang Ruo was pleasantly surprised to see her. "I haven't seen you in so long. What brings you here?"
Lu Nanchu was sitting on the sofa next to Bo Jinyan, sipping fine English black tea, and the two were chatting happily.
Upon hearing this, Lu Nanchu took a sip of black tea and parted her pink lips slightly: "Sister-in-law, I'm sorry I haven't been able to see you for so long. I've been really busy. But I'm here today to deliver an invitation to you and my cousin."
Invitation?
"What invitation?" Sang Ruo had barely uttered the question when Bo Jinyan stood up and handed her the invitation she had given him: "Take a look for yourself."
After saying that, he didn't say anything else, but simply pulled Sang Ruo to sit down next to him.
The invitation was bright red with gold lettering that exuded luxury, and the guests' names on it were small and delicate, clearly written by a girl.
Sang Ruo knew at a glance that the bright red invitation was handwritten by Lu Nanchu, but she didn't know the contents. However, when she opened the invitation and saw the names of the bride and groom, she still raised her eyebrows in surprise.
"Nan Chu?" Sang Ruo's eyes showed a hint of surprise: "You're getting married?"
And good news is on the horizon, coming next week.
So that's why she disappeared for a month?
Lu Nanchu nodded slightly: "Yes, I'm going to marry Xu Chen. After the wedding, I will still pay my respects to you, cousin and cousin-in-law."
No matter what she becomes, her respect for Bo Jinyan and Sang Ruo will never change.
Her cousins treated her so well, how could she let them down?
"Nan Chu, if you want to get married, you should at least consider the person you're marrying!" Sang Ruo didn't understand why she wanted to marry Xu Chen: "Xu Chen has already disregarded your feelings for Wen Qingyi, and now you want to marry him? Do you think this decision is wise?"
It's obvious to everyone that Xu Chen's feelings for Lu Nanchu are no longer as strong as before; he already has another woman in his heart.
She thought that after everything Lu Nanchu and Xu Chen had been through, the best they could hope for was to treat each other with respect and live their own lives. But Nanchu's choice was truly surprising.
Lu Nanchu knew what she was wondering about and explained calmly, "Sister-in-law, I know what you want to say, but this engagement has lasted for more than a year. As long as I don't break off the engagement with him, I will still be Xu Chen's fiancée, and I will marry him one day. I just brought that day forward."
There's no need to be so surprised.
Their engagement lasted for more than a year, which was common knowledge in investment circles both at home and abroad. Even if she hadn't proposed, they would have gotten married sooner or later anyway.
So, you were the one who proposed marriage?
Bo Jinyan seemed to understand her implication and frowned.
Lu Nanchu nodded emphatically: "Yes, it was my suggestion. I'm sure you, cousin, already know that Xu Chen has returned to the Xu family. If I don't marry him, I won't be able to inherit the family business. In that case, I'll be at the mercy of others. I can't let myself fall into such a passive position."
Taking the initiative is Lu Nanchu's consistent style.
Being put in a passive position was an outcome she absolutely did not want to see.
The board of directors is also eyeing her engagement with Xu Chen, and they're watching her closely. If she doesn't do this, how can she get into the company?
“Even so, you don’t need to gamble with your marriage contract.” Sang Ruo felt that what she was doing was too low a return: “Is it worth it to risk almost your entire future just to get revenge on a man?”
Although she was wealthy, she wasn't an investment banker and didn't understand their industry. However, she could clearly see that Lu Nanchu no longer had any love for Xu Chen; all that remained was disgust.
Is this kind of relationship really suitable for marriage?
Nan Chu is also a businesswoman; she probably knows whether it's worth it or not.
Upon hearing this, Lu Nanchu's lips curled into a bitter smile: "Sister-in-law, I'm doing this not only for myself, but also to live up to your expectations of me, especially my cousin. I've seen and remembered everything he's done for me, and I don't want to disappoint you."
So she could only work hard to earn money in order to repay them for their nurturing.
She didn't want to disappoint them.
So even though she lost a little money by doing this, she gained the right to inherit the entire family business.
Once she climbs to the position of president of Lu's Bank, wouldn't it be a piece of cake for her to control a man?
