Chapter 880 Testing the Southern Beginning
Fortunately, they didn't discover that Nan Chu and he were collaborating.
Otherwise, things would be much more complicated than just sowing discord.
Upon hearing this, Sang Ruo frowned, somewhat disbelieving: "Is Uncle really only so disgusted with me for this reason? I feel like there's another reason involved?"
Since her uncle knows that she and Ayan were the ones sowing discord behind the scenes, he should know everything.
For example, she used Lu Nanchu to cause Wen Qingyi's miscarriage, and it was Ayan who leaked the rumors about Wen Qingyi and Xu Chen, which made Lu Nanchu rush back to China from New York overnight.
All of these things combined are what explain why her uncle hates her so much.
"You think your uncle already knows everything?" Bo Jinyan understood her implication: "What you said isn't impossible, but is it worth risking your life again and again for these things? That's too cruel."
Xiao Ru is, after all, her uncle's niece-in-law.
If the uncle truly regarded him as his nephew, then he shouldn't have repeatedly tried to kill Xiaoruo for such a reason!
No matter the reason or cause, he will never forgive his uncle's actions.
Sang Ruo held a water glass in her hand, a trace of sorrow appearing between her beautiful and bright eyes: "If Uncle knows everything, then since he failed to harm me twice, he will definitely have another move."
"Uncle won't let this matter rest so easily."
Moreover, Ayan had shot him in the arm today, so he was even less likely to let them go.
Although Ayan's actions were an act of revenge, they also pushed the situation into a more complicated state.
“I will take precautions and won’t give him another chance.” Bo Jinyan assured her, “Xiao Ruo, I have already broken ties with the Xu family. Don’t mention this to my dad. He’s getting old and can’t handle such a shock.”
Not to mention that he already has a chest problem; if we told him, who knows what might happen.
For the sake of my father's health, it's best to keep it a secret.
Although this was contrary to his original intention, there was nothing he could do about it.
He had always wanted to follow the old man's wishes and carefully maintain his relationship with the Xu family, but since his uncle had already made a move against Xiao Ruo, he could not sit idly by and wait for his doom.
Upon hearing this, Sang Ruo nodded gently: "I know what you're thinking. Don't worry, I won't tell Dad about this. But just because I don't say anything doesn't mean others will help us keep it a secret."
Her implication was that Xu Chen and his uncle might tell Old Master Bo about this.
Even if she tries to hide it, Old Master Bo will eventually find out.
"Let's keep it a secret for as long as we can." Bo Jinyan didn't expect this matter to be hidden forever: "There are no secrets that last forever in this world, it's just a matter of time."
He just hoped that this process could drag on a little longer and not be revealed in the next few days.
He'll be too busy.
Sang Ruo lightly tapped the cup with her fingertips, and said thoughtfully, "Now that we've completely broken off relations, how do you plan to deal with the Xu family?"
Passive defense is not his style; taking the initiative is.
"I will make Xu Chen lose everything he has now," Bo Jinyan said through gritted teeth, a dark glint flashing in his eyes that was hard to decipher. "How about I start with his shares?"
Although most of the shares of Lu's Bank held by Xu Chen were taken back by Lu Nanchu, a portion of them were still in Xu Chen's name. The original shareholding agreement stipulated that Xu Chen would own half of the majority of the dividends from the shares received by Lu Nanchu.
This means he already has one foot in the board of directors of Lu's Bank.
Furthermore, with the new project just launched and him in charge of it, he is confident that he can leverage his advantages to completely devour the Xu family's business.
He wanted to make Xu Yi and his son Xu Chen regret hurting Xiao Ruo!
At this moment, even Sang Ruo was unaware of the unwavering determination that Bo Jinyan concealed beneath his words.
...
Lu's Bank headquarters.
After finishing the last round of project meetings, Bo Jinyan knocked on the door of Lu Nanchu's office.
"Come in."
The moment Lu Nanchu looked up and saw Bo Jinyan, a faint smile curved her lips: "Cousin? Are you done with your work? What brings you here to see me?"
"I've come to see you for two things." Seeing that she was one of his own, Bo Jinyan didn't stand on ceremony and pulled up a chair to sit down in front of her desk.
"One is about a new project, a payment and settlement system. I have a development team working on it, and if you have the funds, development can begin next week."
Lu Nanchu nodded slightly: "Then, what about the second thing?"
Given Bo Jinyan's personality, if it were merely for official business, a text message or a phone call would suffice.
For him to come to her in person, it must be a very important private matter.
"The second thing I want to ask you is whether you have any capable investigators under your command? I'd like to borrow one."
To be precise, Bo Jinyan came to borrow someone from her today: "As you know, Acheng and I just arrived in New York and are not very familiar with the city, so we need someone who is relatively familiar with the local area to help us."
Borrowing a skilled investigator?
Upon hearing this, Lu Nanchu seemed to understand something: "I can lend you my secretary John. Don't let his white appearance fool you; he's very familiar with New York and has been with my father for many years."
“Nan Chu, the secretary is a very important position. With this arrangement, will John be able to handle it?” Bo Jinyan was a little reluctant to use him: “How about we replace him with a Chinese person?”
Lu Nanchu advised, "President Bo, if you want to trust the people you use, you'd better not question my decision."
"Although Chinese people are good, they are not people you know well. The Chinese people here come from all over the world. They can do things for you, but one day they can also betray you."
She had seen far too many examples like this in Manhattan.
New York has all kinds of people.
After going abroad, Chinese people are actually the least trustworthy; there are very few trustworthy ones.
Bo Jinyan nodded slightly: "Alright, then I'll do as Nan Chu says."
"By the way, I wanted to ask about your bank's board of directors." Bo Jinyan asked with some confusion, "Does your bank absolutely prohibit outsiders from joining the board? Why have I noticed that quite a few people with different surnames wield considerable power on the board?"
For example, Han Ming.
Although he had only met him once, he could tell at a glance that Han Ming held a high position and wielded great power, holding a position in Lu's Bank that was no less than that of the bank president, Lu Jinan.
Lu Nanchu found it strange: "Why are you so interested in our bank's board of directors out of the blue? Could it be that you also want to invest?"
