At the dinner table.
Lu Nanzhong went on and on, against his conscience, boasting about how delicious his wife's cooking was, insisting that everyone finish the food and not leave until they did, and that he himself would eat it all...
Hearing this boastful talk, Lu Linglong, Lu Yanyan, and Lu An'an lowered their heads, trying hard not to laugh out loud, but their trembling shoulders betrayed them.
Even Lu Ruxue, who is usually aloof and cold, couldn't help but smile.
Zhuang Wen couldn't help but want to grin, but seeing Lu Nanzhong staring at him, he immediately lowered his head and focused on showing off his food.
Xu Honglian snorted coldly and said, "Fine, I'll see if you can finish all these dishes tonight. If you can't, I'll stuff them all into your stomach!"
"Giggle..."
At this, her daughters couldn't help but burst into melodious, clear laughter.
Watching Lu Linglong, Lu Yanyan, and Lu An'an laughing heartily, and Lu Ruxue's eyes crinkling with joy, Zhuang Wen's eyes lit up, and an indescribable emotion welled up inside him.
It was very warm, and he cherished it.
Dinner ended in a pleasant and relaxed atmosphere.
While Xu Honglian and her daughters were clearing the table, Lu Nanzhong stopped Zhuang Wen, who wanted to help, and asked him to come to the study with him.
Under the watchful eyes of the women, Zhuang Wen obediently followed Lu Nanzhong into the study.
The women then pressed Lu Ruxue about how Zhuang Wen had displayed such power.
Even though Lu Ruxue is aloof and mostly taciturn, she still can't remain silent when facing her mother and sisters.
As she recounted her story, the expressions on Xu Honglian's and Lu Linglong's faces became quite interesting.
...
The study is large, with bookshelves, bookcases, desks, sofas, beds, and plants.
"Please sit down."
Lu Nanzhong sat on the sofa and invited Zhuang Wen to sit down as well.
Zhuang Wen didn't know what Lu Nanzhong wanted to say to him, so he obediently sat down.
"Don't be nervous, let's just have a casual chat."
Lu Nanzhong smiled and began to take out unbranded tea leaves to brew tea.
But Zhuang Wen knew that this tea must be expensive, perhaps even custom-made.
With that thought in mind, he started boiling water.
Lu Nanzhong glanced at Zhuang Wen with satisfaction. The young man was young, but he was quite shrewd.
As he brewed tea, he casually asked, "When is your father coming?"
Zhuang Wen thought for a moment and said, "It will be in the next day or two."
"Okay, I'll book the hotel then."
Lu Nanzhong nodded; he also wanted to see what kind of father could raise such an outstanding child as Zhuang Wen.
To be honest, regarding Lu Ruxue's comment about Zhuang Wen's impressive performance in the hospital, although he only said "Well done" to Zhuang Wen at the dinner table, he was actually very satisfied and appreciative.
He's not completely ignorant.
Before Zhuang Wen left, Yuzhu Pharmaceutical must have exhausted all the resources of the company, but they still couldn't persuade him to stay.
When Zhuang Wen arrived, he persuaded the other party with just a few words and got them to admit it, thus resolving the matter smoothly.
What else could this be but Zhuang Wen's ability?
Therefore, Lu Nanzhong was very satisfied with Zhuang Wen as his son-in-law.
At least from this moment on, his attitude towards Zhuang Wen was no longer limited to satisfaction.
He believed that Zhuang Wen had great abilities, so he needed to make full use of them to manage the Lu Group, which he had built up over his entire life.
Therefore, he invited Zhuang Wen to his study not only to chat with him casually, but also to share some of his own experiences and the rules of the business world.
He wanted to personally teach Zhuang Wen and be Zhuang Wen's teacher.
As he slowly explained, Zhuang Wen understood his good intentions.
He wanted to refuse, but when he thought that Lu Ruxue was the only one supporting the Lu Group, he felt sorry for her.
"Now that you are my wife, I will do my best to help you. You won't be fighting alone anymore, because you still have me."
Thinking of Lu Ruxue's flawless, fair face, he made up his mind.
Therefore, he listened very carefully.
This lecture lasted for more than an hour.
During this time, neither of them went to the toilet. Instead, Lu Linglong came in with a plate of cut fruit to visit them.
Seeing that the two were having a heated discussion, she didn't dare to disturb them and quietly left the study.
But before leaving, she took a deep look at Zhuang Wen's sharp and resolute face with her beautiful eyes.
...
Zhuang Wen stretched and walked out of the study.
But his face showed no signs of fatigue; on the contrary, it looked somewhat unusual, with bright, piercing eyes.
What Lu Nanzhong just said was comprehensive, covering everything from his experience to the essence of business warfare. He spoke very deeply and Zhuang Wen benefited greatly from it.
But what impressed him most was what Lu Nanzhong said during their last casual conversation.
"Whether they are so-called business elites or upper-class people, they are essentially the same. Compared to ordinary people, they are simply different in terms of ability. For example, when it comes to marriage or love, only those who are capable can master their so-called methods."
"Some high-ranking people have several girlfriends, and they get along harmoniously; that takes ability. Some business elites party every night, but still go to work the next day full of energy and make a killing in the stock market; that also takes ability."
"But if you are very charming, but don't have the corresponding ability, you won't be able to keep a woman."
"But if you are capable enough, the whole world is yours."
"Your achievements will be directly proportional to your abilities, and attitude is also a part of your abilities."
