Chapter 46 is luck
Lu Jinyuan changed into his sportswear, went downstairs to Gou Dan's little house, opened the door and saw it lying sprawled on the carpet, staring at him with its big, round eyes.
Its attitude wasn't as unfriendly as before, but seeing its own expression change from fierce to blank, it felt a little aggrieved.
It's probably because Jiang Qingying has taught it many times not to yell at it. Gou Dan is quite naughty, but it listens to Jiang Qingying very well, so it has become like this now, daring to be angry but not daring to speak out.
"Your mom said you want to go out for a while tonight. I'll take you. Do you want to come?"
Dog Egg just blinked.
"Alright, then you can stay here." Lu Jinyuan said and turned to leave, but before he could close the door, he heard a sharp bark from behind him.
Lu Jinyuan laughed and went back to fix the leash. "Is your stubbornness something you learned from your mother, huh?"
Dog Egg barked softly, as if to say: What, you're not happy about it?
"No, it's fine."
Lu Jinyuan took it outside and it ran around, holding the leash in one hand and Gou Dan running alongside him. After running for a while, the phone strapped to his arm made a sound, and he stopped to look at it.
It's information about Jiang Qingying.
Not lending money: [Did you take it out to play?]
Since typing was inconvenient for Lu Jinyuan, he took a close-up photo of Gou Dan's face and sent a voice message: "I'm taking it for a night run, but it doesn't seem too happy about it."
Dog Egg was unhappy, and it didn't like Lu Jinyuan, but it had no choice. All night long, its face was filled with the words "settling for second best".
The night was dark, and the photos Lu Jinyuan sent were not very clear. Jiang Qingying could only see Gou Dan's innocent big eyes. She smiled and replied to his message.
Refusing to lend money: [If you always treat it with a cold face, it definitely won't like you.]
Lu Jinyuan sneered: "Do you think I like using it?"
Jiang Qingying couldn't help but tease him with a voice message, saying, "Lu Jinyuan, I seriously suspect that you will be very unlovable when you get old."
"Cute is not a suitable word to describe a man."
Who says men can't be cute?
"I said it."
Here we go again, with this sudden and domineering outburst.
Jiang Qingying suppressed her speechlessness towards him, then suddenly remembered something she hadn't explained clearly, "Um... Gou Dan might take care of his bodily needs outside, so remember to clean him up."
Lu Jinyuan narrowed his eyes and sent six dots. As soon as he finished sending the message, he found that the dog leash he was holding was pulled tightly. He looked down and found that Gou Dan was taking care of his physiological needs.
That timing was perfect.
Lu Jinyuan, expressionless, watched the dog go to the toilet with surprise and remarked, "How can you eat so much?"
Gou Dan stared straight at him, indicating that he needed to understand.
Protecting the public environment is everyone's responsibility.
Lu Jinyuan sent a message to Jiang Qingying, "What should we do?"
From Jiang Qingying, a prophet on the other side of the world, came the instruction: "Once it's healed, just wrap it in a tissue and throw it in the trash."
"Doesn't it use the toilet at home?" Lu Jinyuan asked a thought-provoking question, since at least at home there are servants to clean it.
Jiang Qingying replied matter-of-factly, "Yes, it does, but it seems to be more enjoyable outside."
"......"
As Lu Jinyuan struggled internally, Gou Dan tugged at his trouser leg, signaling him to clean it up.
"I'm really fed up." Lu Jinyuan didn't bring any tissues, and all he had in his pocket was an expensive gold-embroidered handkerchief. When he bent down to clean it, he said in a very bad mood, "You poop dog are so precious."
Dog Egg: "Woof~"
Lu Jinyuan wrapped its excrement in a handkerchief, turned around, strode to the trash can, and threw the handkerchief, along with its gold lettering, into the bin. After cleaning up, Lu Jinyuan, who was a germaphobe, suddenly felt that his hand was out of place, and nowhere seemed quite right to put it.
"Are you tired?" he asked.
Dog Egg responded with a bark.
"Then let's go home."
-
Jiang Qingying stayed in Australia for three weeks. During that time, she kept in touch with Fu Mufan. She couldn't rush the matter with the Li family and also needed to coordinate with Lu Jinyuan.
She would only begin to act after Lu Yunsong was successfully removed from the management of Lu's Technology project.
Lu Yunsong's projects were repeatedly suppressed by Cheng Shen Technology, and several projects were snatched away by a newly emerging company in Nanzhou. The Lu family held a high-level meeting and voted to remove Lu Yunsong from his project management authority.
After the meeting, Lu Yunsong barged into Lu Jinyuan's office, rushing about, his usual feigned gentleness and friendliness as an elder completely exposed.
"Lu Jinyuan!" Lu Yunsong's furious voice roared, almost shattering the ceiling.
Lu Jinyuan sat in the CEO's seat, his gaze rising with a mixture of composure and disdain. "Second Uncle, what do you want with me?"
"Do you think I don't know that you're behind Cheng Shen Technology?"
"So what if you know?" Lu Jinyuan's eyes were deep and cold as he stared at the man's furious and raging appearance. His face remained unmoved, and his commanding presence as a person in a high position was enough to crush his opponent.
Seeing that he remained silent, Lu Jinyuan lowered his eyes to look at the wedding ring he was playing with on his finger and said casually, "If you had found even a trace of evidence that I leaked trade secrets, I wouldn't be sitting here now."
Lu Yunsong was so angry that his chest heaved uncontrollably. That's right, he couldn't find a single piece of evidence.
"Second Uncle, I told you long ago that your approach wouldn't work, but you didn't listen to me at all."
Lu Jinyuan mocked his elder’s abilities with an extremely sarcastic tone. In fact, he had never revealed any secrets about the Lu family because there was no need to take any risks. It was easy to distinguish between Lu Yunsong’s and Qin Shiming’s abilities.
Lu Yunsong currently has no management authority; he is merely a high-ranking executive in name only. After calming down, he analyzed the current situation. Although it was terrible, he still held 15% of the shares.
"The Lu family rules forbid colluding with outsiders against family members. How do you think the other elders in the family will handle this?"
"Oh? Is this a threat, Second Uncle?" Lu Jinyuan remained calm. "As Lu Yichuan's romantic history over the years, you should be quite aware of it, right? Do I need to remind you of something that happened recently?"
Upon hearing this, Lu Yunsong felt as if he had been doused with a bucket of ice water. No matter how secretive he had been, the matter had still been discovered. He gritted his teeth and asked, "Do you want to use this as a bargaining chip?"
Lu Jinyuan scoffed dismissively, his tone colder than the snowy weather outside, "You are not qualified to make a deal with me. I don't care about the Lu family rules at all. Besides, do you think Grandpa doesn't know what I did?"
Lu Jinyuan had been controlled by Lu Qicheng since childhood. Lu Qicheng needed to use him to achieve his goals, and everything he did was with Lu Qicheng's tacit approval. Therefore, in terms of both capital and confidence, Lu Yunsong was no match for him, and he didn't need to compromise and make deals with him.
Lu Jinyuan then threw out a stack of documents, all of which were evidence of Lu Yichuan embezzling public funds in the six months since he joined Lu's Group. "Second Uncle, your weakness is really too easy to exploit. I hadn't even finished drawing the trap before he obediently jumped into it."
Lu Yunsong picked up the thick stack of evidence and looked through it. His good-for-nothing son had embezzled public funds to speculate in futures abroad, and the hole he lost kept getting bigger and bigger, eventually becoming an astronomical figure.
This "achievement" was naturally accomplished under Lu Jinyuan's supervision.
Lu Jinyuan: "A weakness can be exploited by others to deliver a fatal blow."
Lu Yunsong forced a stiff smile, a rather unpleasant grin plastered on his face.
“As you know, Grandpa has always cared about the Lu family’s reputation. He said that if Lu Yichuan can make up for the embezzled public funds, then he will not be held accountable. The only question is how to fill this hole. As a junior, I am happy to help my second uncle solve this problem.”
"unnecessary!"
Lu Jinyuan didn't seem to care much about his bad attitude. "It's okay, you'll definitely come looking for me later anyway."
Looking at Lu Jinyuan, who sat confidently in the president's seat, Lu Yunsong met his gaze and felt a strange sense of fear rising from the bottom of his heart. He wondered what tricks Lu Jinyuan was up to, but he couldn't help but sigh, "You're very smart."
The Art of War states: "The strategy of warfare is to avoid the strong and attack the weak."
The key is to avoid the enemy's strength and strike at their weak points. For so long, he has been fighting against Lu Jinyuan within the group, but with little effect, because it is difficult to defeat the substantial things. He has been fighting a losing battle, stubbornly trying to deal with Lu Jinyuan's superior business acumen and his high position.
His weaknesses were naturally his useless son, who was willful and reckless all day long, and his wife, who endlessly indulged his son's evil deeds.
Lu Jinyuan had no weaknesses. He didn't care about anything in the Lu family or the position of the person in charge. He was just an assassin with a bounty on his head by Lu Qicheng.
To complete their missions, assassins are usually ruthless and decisive, disregarding all consequences.
Perhaps Lu Jinyuan also has a weakness. Lu Yunsong did consider targeting his weakness, but he dared not, and could not do it.
This weakness is Jiang Qingying.
Jiang Qingying is Lu Jinyuan's Achilles' heel, but also his powerful backer. He doesn't have enough confidence to confront Lu Jinyuan while also provoking the powerful and wealthy Jiang family.
So he said that Lu Jinyuan was very smart, and that he married Jiang Qingying.
Lu Jinyuan stroked the wedding ring on his ring finger, then chuckled unexpectedly, a genuine joy in his smile. He suppressed a smile and corrected the other person:
"It's lucky."
