After the old man paced back and forth in his office several times, the secretary standing to the side finally couldn't hold back any longer.
"Chairman, why don't you sit down and rest for a while?"
After listening, the old man turned to look at his secretary behind him, but ultimately chose to sit down in his office chair.
The large sofa chair made him feel somewhat uncomfortable.
After sitting in his chair and pondering for a while, the old man casually fiddled with the documents on the table.
The files on the desktop are all documents that Lu Yuan needs to review and approve on a daily basis.
These documents were simply things he had to deal with every day in his daily life.
But the old man couldn't handle such a scene; after seeing these documents, he felt a headache coming on.
He casually flipped to a page of a document, which was covered with dense numbers and various things that needed to be adjusted. After reading it, the old man immediately closed the book.
He had never felt that he had experienced such a difficult time in his more than seventy years of life.
"Why don't you go out first? Leave this to me, I'll take care of it in a bit."
The old man felt a little embarrassed when he noticed someone staring at him, and waved his hand to let his secretary leave the room.
The secretary could only nod, and after leaving the room, she couldn't help but peek through the crack in the window.
The old man sat in his chair and carefully arranged the documents on the table one by one, lining them up in a row.
The dozen or so documents in total gave the old man an even bigger headache.
"I didn't expect Lu Yuan to have to review so many documents every day. That's way too many! How does he usually work?"
Thinking of this, the old man casually opened and read through each of the documents.
Some documents concern inventory issues within the company and their solutions.
There are also issues regarding the consumption of some of the company's daily necessities.
More importantly, it involves reporting on matters large and small within the company.
Lu Yuan needed to personally approve some of these reports, while others did not require his approval; he only needed to tick a box to complete the process.
But the old man was unaware of this method; he felt that someone should help him.
But having lived for over seventy years, I value face quite a bit.
Just then, footsteps sounded outside. The old man quickly arranged the things back in their original places and sat quietly in his chair.
He picked up a document and started flipping through it; those few minutes were pure torture for him.
"Why am I feeling so bad? Maybe I should talk to Xiaoyuan another day. This job really isn't right for me. I could manage a farm or a canteen, but how could I handle something this big?"
After looking through it for a while, the old man felt a headache coming on.
The footsteps outside the door grew closer and closer. Old Ye looked up and could only hear Lu Yuan and his secretary talking outside.
The secretary seemed to be whispering something to Lu Yuan.
Lu Yuan simply responded with "uh-huh" without any apparent concern. Finally, the secretary finished speaking.
Lu Yuan gestured for his secretary to go back and rest, then opened the office door himself.
Upon seeing Lu Yuan enter, the old man immediately breathed a sigh of relief and quickly stood up from his chair.
Seeing the old man's reaction, Lu Yuan's eyes widened in surprise.
"Grandpa, is this chair too hot? Or what's wrong with it? Please sit down!"
But the old man refused no matter what, and reluctantly went to Lu Yuan and cried out.
"Xiao Yuan, I didn't know your position was so difficult. Now, you might as well not make me do this job anymore. I'd rather work in the cafeteria than do this. You've really put me in a very difficult position!"
After hearing this, Lu Yuan burst into laughter.
"Grandpa, don't worry, I'm here today to handle this matter. From now on, you can stay in this office without worry. If you have nothing to do, you can read books, practice calligraphy, or do anything else."
"When we need to promote something, you step forward and explain it to everyone. I'll go over the details with you beforehand for meetings, so you don't have to worry about company matters!"
The old man was still very embarrassed after hearing this.
"Forget it, why don't you just find someone else? You could even ask your dad. He's a natural scapegoat; he'd be much better suited to take the blame than me!"
Lu Yuan shook his head with a wry smile.
"No, I did consider my dad, but he's the kind of person who's very straightforward. If he saw me doing this kind of scheming, he'd definitely scold me. I still don't want to ask him. Grandpa, you're my own grandpa, please say yes!"
After listening, Lu Zhenguo couldn't help but sigh for a while.
"Sigh, what can I say to you? Since you've already agreed, then go ahead and do it. But let me make this clear first, I really can't handle these things!"
If anything goes wrong, if anything goes wrong, I can't afford the responsibility! You should do it, or that young man at the door is also quite nice, you could have him help handle it. I can come over only when I'm needed; I really can't stand staying here!"
Seeing the old man's terrified expression, it was as if there was something in the office that he desperately wanted to avoid.
Lu Yuan could only nod in the end.
"Fine, if that's how you feel, then you can just go home and stay here for two hours every day from now on, okay?"
The old man nodded after listening.
"Two hours is fine, of course two hours is fine, even three hours, a morning or an afternoon is fine, but I really can't get used to staying in this place all day long!"
After saying that, the old man breathed a sigh of relief, but then turned to look at what Lu Yuan was holding and couldn't help but ask.
"You're not here to see me again today for something, are you? By the way, how exactly do you want me to help you with that? How can I get those lands?"
Lu Yuan pointed to the sofa next to him and sat down with the old man.
Lu Yuan then opened the box he was holding, took out an envelope he had prepared at home, and handed it over.
"This is a speech draft. I hope you can promote it at the national mobilization meeting, Grandpa. This matter is especially important to us. It concerns whether I can successfully gain the trust of these people and whether I can acquire more land!"
Upon hearing Lu Yuan's words, the old man couldn't help but show a look of astonishment.
He took the envelope, opened it, and immediately understood why Lu Yuan had said that.
