Chapter 54 Chapter 54 Mr. Lu
Early winter has arrived, and all things are asleep. The originally sunny weather was suddenly covered with dark clouds in the afternoon, and heavy rain came in an instant. The north wind was howling, the branches outside the window were shaking, and the pedestrians on the road could not help but tremble with fear.
In the Lu Group's building, Lu Mingzhou's stepmother Li Huijun exuded anger, making people stay away. She quickly walked to the office door and pushed it open.
Lu Junyi was playing with his mobile phone with a smile on his face. He was startled by the sudden noise. After seeing the person coming, he looked obviously unhappy.
Lu Junyi just looked up at Li Huijun, then lowered his head again and said impatiently, "Didn't I tell you to knock before entering my office?"
After hearing this, Li Huijun remained indifferent. She walked up to Lu Junyi and asked, "Have you solved the company's funding problem?"
Lu Junyi still didn't look up and said, "Didn't we agree with Mingzhou?"
Li Huijun glared at him, pulled out a document Lu Junyi had just produced, forced him to look up at her, and said, "That's a solution! I don't agree with his request!"
Lu Junyi: "I don't think Mingzhou's request is excessive. Besides, the company will belong to the two brothers in the future."
Lu Mingzhou's request was for 25% of the Lu Group's shares. Lu Junyi held about 50% of the shares, Li Huijun held 30%, and the remaining 20% was held by some of the company's veteran employees.
Lu Mingzhou asked for nearly 30% of the shares right from the start. How could Li Huijun agree?
Li Huijun asked, "If you give Lu Mingzhou 25% of the shares now, will you give the rest to Xingzhi in the future?"
Lu Junyi frowned and said, "Don't you still hold 30% of the shares?"
When Li Huijun heard that Lu Junyi had set his sights on her, she immediately flew into a rage. Her brows furrowed, her eyes widened, and she said, "My shares are my shares."
Hearing Li Huijun say this, Lu Junyi finally couldn't help but burst out, saying: "I gave you your shares, don't you think it's necessary to divide them so clearly between the two of us?"
Lu Junyi: "Xingzhi and Mingzhou are both our sons. What's wrong with giving them equal shares in the company in the future?"
Li Huijun said sarcastically with a stern face, "Xingzhi is my only son. Lu Mingzhou is your son, but not mine."
Considering that this is the company, it’s not the first time Lu Junyi has heard this. He said, “Whatever you say, it’s fine.”
Unexpectedly, Li Huijun became even angrier after hearing this and said, "You're saying this again. Fine, I'll do as you say. I don't agree with Lu Mingzhou's request."
Lu Junyi stepped towards Li Huijun and said, "You are being unreasonable. If you don't agree, how can you come up with so much money?"
Li Huijun said: "Of course!"
Lu Junyi was obviously surprised to hear the affirmative answer. After thinking carefully about it, he realized that he had tried everything before and still couldn't find a solution. He questioned, "You didn't say you had the shares because you wanted to stop me from giving them to Mingzhou, did you?"
Li Huijun crossed her arms and said disdainfully, "You don't have the ability yourself, so you think others can't do it either."
Seeing Li Huijun's confident look, Lu Junyi instantly changed his previous tense attitude, forced a big smile on his face, and said, "Wife, what can you do?"
If he hadn't been left with no other options, Lu Junyi actually wouldn't want to give his shares to someone else so early, even to his own son.
Seeing Lu Junyi's expression change so quickly, Li Huijun looked disgusted. She said, "I found another company. They are willing to cooperate with our company, but the conditions are not as excessive as your son's." Li Huijun said the word "excessive" viciously while gritting her teeth.
Lu Junyi was overjoyed: "Really?"
Li Huijun said proudly, "Of course it's true. We've already negotiated, and all that's left is signing the contract. I've made an appointment with President Mu to sign the contract in two days."
Lu Junyi: "Mr. Mu? Is that Mr. Mu from Mutian Department Store?"
Li Huijun: "I'm meeting Mr. Mu's son, Mr. Mu."
Lu Junyi: "Mr. Mu? Is that Mu Tianhe?"
Li Huijun nodded.
Lu Junyi: "Mu Tianhe and Mingzhou are good friends. He still has shares in Ming'an Technology. Are you sure he is willing to cooperate with us?"
Li Huijun: "Why wouldn't he be happy? He and Lu Mingzhou co-founded Ming'an Technology, but now everyone only remembers Lu Mingzhou's name, which makes everyone feel uncomfortable. This is a good opportunity for him to surpass Lu Mingzhou, so of course he's very happy."
Lu Junyi nodded unconsciously. Li Huijun was right. If this happened to him, he would definitely feel uncomfortable.
Lu Junyi still had some doubts and asked, "Have the contract terms been drafted?"
Li Huijun opened her phone and forwarded an electronic document. "All these terms are written in the contract. I've asked the company's legal department to review them," she said.
Hearing Li Huijun say this, Lu Junyi felt relieved. He stood up, put his arms around Li Huijun from behind, and said with a smile, "My wife is still amazing!"
Li Huijun was very pleased with Lu Junyi's flattery, and her anger was mostly gone.
After Li Huijun left, a young girl poked her head out of the bathroom, looked at her back with a disdainful laugh, and walked straight to Lu Junyi's office.
The girl walked into the office with ease and locked the door. It looked like she had been here many times. When Lu Junyi saw her, he felt a little panicked. He subconsciously glanced outside and said, "Manman, why are you here?"
Manman doesn't look old, about twenty-five or twenty-six, tall, with a gentle temperament, and her deep eyebrows and eyes make her look a little sharp.
Manman pouted, looking a little unhappy, and said, "Boss Lu, if she can come, why can't I?"
Lu Junyi stood up, walked to Manman with a smile, took her hand with his left hand, touched her face with his right hand, and coaxed her with a smile: "Of course not, you are my sweetheart."
Hearing this, Manman snorted, looking like she was still not satisfied, and said, "I don't believe it!"
Lu Junyi kept calling her "dear" and "sweetheart" for a long time before Manman finally calmed down. She sat in Lu Junyi's arms and said, "Boss Lu, that old woman is so mean. How could you tolerate her?"
Lu Junyi tightened his arms, skipped the topic, and said, "It's because of Manman."
Manman didn't let the excuse get her way, and continued to complain, "Don't try to fool me."
"How dare I?"
"I think you are very brave."
…
Ye Anyu got off work early today. Lu Mingzhou had a meeting to attend just like yesterday. On the way home, Ye Anyu looked at the date on her phone and realized that today was the last day of their three-year engagement.
After returning home, Ye Anyu found the contract she had signed. She looked at the contract and thought for a moment, then took out a piece of white paper.
Lu Mingzhou was wearing a suit and gold-rimmed glasses. He had an expressionless face and deep eyes. He held a pen in his right hand and sat on a chair in the meeting.
"...This is the whole situation of this project. Mr. Lu, do you have any suggestions?"
Everyone's eyes were focused on Lu Mingzhou, but Lu Mingzhou's attention was not on the meeting at the moment.
There was silence in the conference room for a few seconds. Everyone's breathing froze and they looked at each other. Cold sweat had already appeared on the speaker's forehead. Mr. Lu had been silent the whole time. Was there something wrong with his report?
As we all know, Lu Mingzhou is not only extremely demanding of himself, but also of the projects in the company. Ever since everyone first witnessed Lu Mingzhou's deadly series of questions, everyone will consider all the possibilities of the project in detail before reporting, and list them out to find ways to solve them.
The speaker this time was no exception. Before he started, he was full of confidence and felt that he would definitely satisfy President Lu this time. During the speech, although Lu Mingzhou had a blank expression on his face, he was always like this, so he didn't care. But he had already finished, and Lu Mingzhou still didn't say a word.
"Mr. Lu, do you have any suggestions?" The speaker held onto the conference table and tried to stop himself from shaking.
The office was still quiet.
Mu Tianhe rarely attended a meeting and encountered this situation. He didn't see any problems with the project, and he didn't intend to let the situation remain deadlocked.
Mu Tianhe stretched out his arm and patted Lu Mingzhou's right shoulder, saying, "Mr. Lu."
The speaker waited for Lu Mingzhou to speak.
Lu Mingzhou was distracted just now. He remembered that today was the day their three-year contract expired. He was regretting that he should not have come to the meeting. He didn't hear what the speaker said at all, and he didn't know when he finished speaking.
When he looked up, he saw everyone's eyes on him, and he asked, "What's wrong?"
So, was Mr. Lu distracted? The speaker breathed a sigh of relief, the tension in his heart relaxing.
Mu Tianhe was glad that he came to attend the meeting today, otherwise he would not have seen Lu Mingzhou's embarrassing state of distraction. In the past, he was always caught by Lu Mingzhou, but today he finally caught Lu Mingzhou's handle.
He jokingly said, "Boss Lu, the meeting is adjourned."
As soon as these words were spoken, Lu Mingzhou stood up immediately. Because he stood up too hard, the chair slid and hit the wall behind him. He said "adjourn the meeting", picked up the documents on the table and rushed out in a hurry, leaving the meeting room in a mess.
Written on their faces at this moment were several words: What's wrong with Mr. Lu? This included Mu Tianhe. He didn't expect that Lu Mingzhou would take his casual joke seriously, which further confirmed that he was distracted.
And what happened to him in such a hurry? Mu Tianhe had never seen this in him before, and he was a little worried.
Mu Tianhe dismissed the meeting and then made a phone call, but no one answered. He called again, but still no one answered. Mu Tianhe then called Assistant Liao, who quickly picked up the call.
Assistant Liao: "Mr. Mu, what do you want to talk to me about?"
Mu Tianhe: "Does Mingzhou have any other plans today?"
Assistant Liao was a little confused, but after thinking carefully, he said, "No more."
Mu Tianhe was puzzled and murmured, "Strange."
Assistant Liao: "What's strange?"
Mu Tianhe: "Nothing, is Mingzhou with you now?"
Assistant Liao: "He was here just now, but he's gone now." He was also very puzzled just now. He rarely saw Mr. Lu looking so anxious and hurried.
Mu Tianhe: "Do you know where he went?"
Assistant Liao: "Boss Lu told me to go home after get off work, and said he was going home after get off work too."
That's strange.
Lu Mingzhou got in the car and asked the driver Xiao Li to take him home quickly. Xiao Li thought that Mr. Lu had something important to do and did not dare to delay.
