After stopping the playback, Lu Yin's face turned cold and he said that the recorder was sent to him by an anonymous person an hour before the meeting.
"This, this is a misunderstanding." The CEO's face turned pale. He glanced at the closed door of the private room and seemed to want to stand up and leave.
"Bang!" A steel fork stabbed straight into the table in front of him.
"I haven't finished talking yet. Sit still. If you move around, it will get stuck crooked."
Mr. Lu, with frost in his eyes, was very scary.
"I, I, I just want to find a way to survive. I don't want to die unclearly like Mr. Tang and Lawyer Zheng."
Lu Yin sneered, expressing his disdain for his words: "Do you think that someone like Gu Hui, who would give drugs to his own directors, would ignore the fact that you approached me about cooperation just because you voted for him?"
Indeed, with Gu Hui's evil nature, once he discovered the possibility of betrayal, Bu Si would also create some evidence that would make it difficult for the person to escape.
If Lu Yin leaked what they had discussed during their meeting, and Gu Hui knew about it...
Thinking of this, the CEO's face turned even uglier: "I'm sorry, I was wrong. I feel guilty about Mr. Lu's kindness. Please forgive me. I will definitely vote against it!"
Lu Yin stood up slightly, pulled out the steel fork, and then thrust it hard into the steak in front of the CEO, which he had never eaten.
"Let's end the meeting here. Just go back and think it over."
"Yes, yes, thank you for trusting me. I will definitely not make the wrong choice."
Qi Nuan glanced at the CEO, who was barely able to walk with his arm being dragged by Special Assistant Zhao, and sighed softly, "Do you really have to threaten me in this way?"
"When it comes to matters concerning one's life and property, there's definitely a possibility of betrayal. The guy has to give up the idea as soon as possible."
Imagine the possible suppression that might occur if Gu Hui became more powerful. Qi Nuan felt that this warning threat did not seem so excessive.
"If I lose, you'll suffer too."
yes.
Qi Nuan sighed again. We were all in the same boat and couldn’t escape.
In the following week, Lu Yin was extremely busy. The two of them didn't even have time to have a meal together. He even slept in the company a few times.
Qi Nuan would also be unable to sleep if the man who was always so affectionate and caring to her was suddenly not around.
She also knew that this was a critical period. She had already decided to follow Lu Yin, so she naturally hoped that he would win smoothly. To avoid overthinking, she kept busy in her own way, contacting the three independent directors from time to time.
Especially for Mr. Hu, Qi Nuan would give him extra encouragement every time she called him, hoping that her friendly attitude could touch the old man's heart more.
As usual, after interacting with Mr. Hu that day, Zhao Yu hung up the phone and came to ask for instructions. Gu Hui sent someone to invite her to a dinner party and said that Mr. Lu would be there too, so he said he could go.
Hearing that Lu Yin was present, Qi Nuan thought about it and did not refuse.
When she arrived at the restaurant, she saw that in addition to Lu Yin, Gu Hui had also invited Grandpa Lu and Lu Qianqian. There were also many Hongsheng Electronics executives sitting around the table.
"Director Qi is our external director. Now that she's here, our management meeting should come to an end."
Gu Hui took the opportunity to pretend to dismiss all the management members.
Qi Nuan had heard from Lu Yin before that the companies run by Lu's grandfather and Lu Qianqian were also investors in the companies under the Gu family's name. Although it was not surprising that they appeared here, at this critical juncture, they were gathered together by Gu Hui, so she still had to doubt his purpose.
She greeted Grandpa Lu, said hello to everyone else, and then sat down next to Lu Yin.
Gu Hui didn't beat around the bush and said directly that Grandpa Lu was still in good health and it was a pity that he had retired so early. Secondly, all the power of the Lu family was handed over to the eldest son Lu, so wouldn't the other young masters and young ladies have any opinions?
Grandpa Lu laughed heartily, lamenting that time is merciless. He said that he would rather retire early and enjoy a few years of leisure. He did not want to be like his elder brother Gu who devoted himself to the company until the last moment.
"Times have changed. The world belongs to you young people now. As an old guy, I'd better make room for you soon."
As for his other grandchildren, Qianqian himself said that he did not have any big ambitions. It was enough for him to have a job and raise his daughter without worries. The rest were uneducated and unskilled. Who would dare to have any objection to his eldest grandson inheriting the family business?
Everyone here knows that in order to prevent his son Gu Hui from inheriting the family business smoothly, Mr. Gu would rather take a lot of tonics to hold on and not retreat. In order to ensure that he has no competitors, his mother has spared no effort to deal with the old man's illegitimate son.
How could Gu Hui not understand what Mr. Lu meant? He could only nod and smile in agreement, and said nothing more.
He wanted to turn his attention to Lu Qianqian who was standing beside him.
From what Qi Nuan heard, he knew that he had been planning to marry into the Lu family, and his target was the only daughter of the Lu family.
There was no emotion in Lu Qianqian's eyes. She simply refused and said that having only her daughter in her future life was enough and she would not consider getting married anymore.
Seeing that Gu Hui was still trying to persuade him, Master Lu said that he only had this one precious granddaughter, and that the Lu family would have no problem supporting them for the rest of their lives. This helped to completely reject Gu Hui's idea of an arranged marriage.
Qi Nuan gave Grandpa Lu a thumbs up in her heart. Fortunately, he protected her. Otherwise, with Qianqian's parents' character, she really didn't know how they would use their daughter for their own immediate interests.
After chatting for a few more sentences, Gu Hui finally turned the topic to the upcoming board meeting.
"As you said, things are different from my father's time. We need to run the business more innovatively and efficiently, so I came up with this plan of splitting the business after careful consideration."
Innovative and effective. These two words, which best packaged what he was going to do, could not conceal his selfish intention to embezzle Hongsheng Electronics.
Grandpa Lu has been in the business world for half his life, so he is naturally very familiar with Gu Hui's little tricks.
However, Lu Yin had clearly stated that this was a battle he had sworn at his parents' grave, and that he must win it personally.
So Grandpa Lu just smiled and said that his idea was not wrong, but as a retired old man, he would not get involved. If there were any disagreements, it would be better for the young people to solve them themselves.
He said this was also Old Man Gu’s wish before his death, that the two cousins could live in harmony.
Qi Nuan didn't know whether it was Old Man Gu's wish, but she clearly saw a flash of resentment in Gu Hui's eyes when he heard this.
"Seek common ground while reserving differences, and the board will know the outcome. There's no need to be overly anxious."
The old man left this sentence and left with his granddaughter.
The elders left the stage, and Vice Chairman Gu, who had been pretending to be a normal person for a long time, also tore off his disguise.
"Is Mr. Lu unhappy? After all, your wife is also a director of my company. It's not a bad etiquette for me to ask her to come here, right?"
"Why should I be unhappy? It's Director Qi's choice whether to come or not, and I will respect it."
Lu Yin picked up the cup and took a sip. Qi Nuan noticed that he didn't drink alcohol like Gu Hui, but was drinking tea.
"Director Qi is so lucky. You have the right to choose what to do. So, when your term as a director ends, would you consider joining me and taking on management roles at one of my other companies?"
