Lu Zheng had already anticipated that if they couldn't find him, those people would definitely come to the Lu Group to ambush him.
Because of the other person's status, the assistants and bodyguards dared not use force and could only surround the person like fools.
He didn't even glance at the person in front of him, and snapped his fingers.
The bodyguards, who had been helpless against the newcomer, suddenly felt reassured and grabbed his arms on either side, ready to drag him away.
"Hey, Lu Zheng, what do you mean? I'm your uncle!" The man's temples were already white, but he still roared with a strong voice.
His bodyguards were nearly deafened by the noise and were somewhat impressed by the old man's strength.
The visitor was Lu Zheng's uncle, Lu Jianhua.
He once held an important position in the Lu Group, but resigned a year ago and retired home.
Lu Jianhua was furious: "Don't think that just because the Lu Group has fallen into your hands, you can do whatever you want and disrespect your elders!"
The bodyguard still rudely pulled him aside, but Lu Zheng ignored him and walked forward. As he passed by him, he chuckled and said, "Why should I respect the lackeys of the Shen family?"
After a full ten seconds of silence, Lu Jianhua's face slowly flushed red. "You... what nonsense are you talking about..."
Lu Zheng continued walking forward, and his assistant pushed open the office door.
"Get out of my way." Lu Jianhua shook off the bodyguard, caught up with Lu Zheng, and kept talking like a machine gun, "An employee of your newly acquired company caused such a big scandal. His family has already heard about it and they've even come to the company gate to make a scene. Have you fired that employee yet?"
"Expelled?" Lu Zheng raised his eyebrows, his eyes full of sarcasm.
Lu Jianhua said in a commanding tone, "Yes, don't say anything else, fire her, immediately!"
Lu Zheng said coldly, "You have already left the Lu Group and do not hold any position. You only have two percent of the shares and have no right to inquire about or handle any internal matters of the company."
Lu Jianhua never expected that Lu Zheng would say something so embarrassing to him in front of so many people.
He clutched his chest, his face contorted in pain, "You...you...you..."
Lu Zheng, the carpenter, said coldly, "Please tell the person who sent you here that if the financing fails, how far is the declining Shen Group from bankruptcy?"
"I don't understand what you're saying!" Lu Jianhua shouted.
After nodding to Xie Yan, Lu Zheng ruthlessly closed the office door.
Lu Jianhua never expected to be treated so rudely. He was like a lit firecracker, and relying on the fact that he was Lu Zheng's uncle, he started to shout and make a scene.
"Lu Zheng, are you trying to ruin the Lu Group for the sake of a mere employee? Do you know how many competitors are sabotaging this, trying to take this opportunity to bring you down?"
"Do you know what people will say about you and the Lu family? Are you planning to break off your engagement with the Shen family? This is outrageous!"
"You should do whatever your elders tell you to do! If you kick me out today, I'll let everyone see what kind of scoundrel you are!"
Xie Yan said to the bodyguards, "Please get out of here immediately."
The bodyguards stopped being polite and dragged Lu Jianhua into the elevator.
Lu Jianhua was furious. "This little wolf has gone too far! How dare he treat me like this?!"
Neither Xie Yan nor his bodyguard said a word. When they arrived at the underground parking lot, they threw the person out, closed the door, and went upstairs.
Lu Jianhua nearly fell to the ground. He wiped his forehead haphazardly with his sleeve, pulled out his phone, and said, "...Lu Zheng is too disrespectful to his elders. I suggest we take this opportunity to remove him from his position as president of Lu's Group!"
Lu Zheng was sitting calmly in his office chair, handling his work.
"Ding ding ding," the phone notification sound rang.
Lu Zheng immediately picked up his phone, because it was a special notification sound set up just for Qiao Zhen.
Upon seeing the message, he immediately called Xie Yan and ordered, "Go investigate someone."
Xie Yan agreed, "President Lu, the old gentleman just called, and I told him you were in a meeting. He asked you to call him immediately after the meeting."
Lu Zheng was not surprised at all. The Shen family had a lot of influence and had managed to get one elder after another to put pressure on him.
Some elderly people are like that; relying on their age, they think the whole world has to obey their orders.
He has gone through countless hardships to get to where he is today, and he has no intention of letting them control his life anymore.
“The weather is getting hotter, and older people can’t handle it. Spring City is like spring all year round, so it’s the best place to escape the heat.” Lu Zheng slowly flipped through the documents. “Book plane tickets and hotels immediately and send them there.”
"Yes, Mr. Lu." Xie Yan sighed silently.
Mr. Lu's feelings for Ms. Qiao are genuine.
When lunchtime arrived, Qiao Zhen lingered at her workstation for a while before going to the break room for a meal.
After greeting a few colleagues, she pretended to have forgotten to bring her cutlery and was going back to get it. Sure enough, the same colleague who had stopped her yesterday called her back again.
"I have some here, don't bother."
The company is very large, and the break room is indeed a bit far from their workstations.
But it's not exactly troublesome.
Qiao Zhen smiled gently as she looked at the disposable tableware her colleague had taken out. "Okay, thank you."
This time, she paid extra attention and noticed that her colleague quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
She calmly heated up the food, ate with her colleagues while chatting and laughing, and returned to her workstation when she received several screenshots from Lu Zheng.
Qiao Zhen sighed, "As expected, you can know a person's face but not their heart."
Just then, a figure flashed into her peripheral vision. Looking up, she saw Ling Yiyi running out in a hurry.
Without thinking twice, she immediately chased after him.
From afar, they saw Ling Yiyi approach the front desk and berate her with a displeased expression.
The receptionist turned pale with fright and shakily rummaged through a pile of packages to find a small cardboard box, which she then handed to Ling Yiyi with both hands.
