With the children's dance competition approaching, Shi Wan asked to move back to Ji Meng's apartment for a while on her first day back in Kyoto.
She thought that the apartment was in the city center and close to the school, and since the Lu Group was also in the city center, the two of them moved back to the apartment from Qingshan Yazhu.
At first, Lu Jingyan was unwilling. Ji Meng lived across the street from the apartment, Zhao Zhilin lived downstairs, and Chu Ningxuan would come up to "visit" from time to time.
Later, realizing that Qingshan Yazhu needed to be renovated and would take two months to complete, I moved all my clothes and personal belongings to the apartment.
During this time, Zhou Yuan called him crying and complained that Chairman Lu had started a strike again. In addition, Chu Ningxuan suggested that he keep his distance from Shi Wan at all times.
Lu Jingyan then assigned two more bodyguards to protect Shi Wan, so that he could go to work with peace of mind.
Lu Group
Downstairs in the lobby, a group of executives in black suits lined up in two rows, ready to welcome the president they hadn't seen for months.
Hearing that the president returned to the company today, Zhou Yuan, who was standing at the front of the line, shed two lines of tears.
As a qualified special assistant, having to go to the Lu family's old mansion every day to "invite" Chairman Lu is really too much of a burden for a working person.
A tall, slender figure appeared at the entrance of the Lu Corporation. Today, Lu Jingyan was dressed in a black suit, his expression as indifferent as ever. He glanced at the executives standing on both sides with a deep look in his eyes, his thin lips slightly pursed, and he remained silent.
Seeing that his boss was about to follow, Zhou Yuan quickly followed. Lu Jingyan had just stepped into the elevator when he said in his usual indifferent tone, "Have Zheng Bin from the marketing department come to my office."
Zheng Bin was downstairs just now, and when he received Zhou Zhu's call, he was slightly startled. Nothing had happened in the marketing department recently, and their performance was much better than last quarter.
Zheng Bin wiped the fine sweat from his forehead, following Zhou Yuan with trepidation. The president's methods were far more ruthless than the chairman's. He asked Zhou Yuan anxiously, "Assistant Zhou, the chairman knows about the marketing department's recent performance, but I wonder if the president..."
Zhou Yuan glanced at Zheng Bin, who was wiping his sweat, and said calmly, "Manager Zheng, don't worry, maybe the president isn't looking for trouble with your department."
He then opened the door to the president's office and let Zheng Bin in.
Lu Jingyan sat lazily in his chair, a cigarette dangling from his lips.
He narrowed his eyes as the person entered, his expression becoming inscrutable, though a smile still lingered on his lips. "Manager Zheng, please have a seat."
Zheng Bin nervously wiped his sweat and bowed slightly. "President Lu, I can stand, I can stand."
"Hmm, I heard the marketing department has been doing well lately. Having such a shrewd and capable manager is a blessing for the Lu family." Lu Jingyan's voice was lazy and nonchalant.
"No...no, Mr. Lu, you flatter me. The marketing department's performance is thanks to the wise leadership of Chairman Lu and Mr. Lu, which has enabled us to do our jobs well."
"Oh? Is that so?" Lu Jingyan raised an eyebrow, his gaze turning icy.
"Then tell me why those two air routes over Country Y were destroyed?"
“This… Mr. Lu, several companies in Country Y have been making waves in recent years, and the CEO of one of their rivals, Mr. Moore, is always trying to trip us up.” A hint of panic flashed in Zheng Bin’s eyes, but he quickly suppressed it.
"I heard your daughter is interning at the Feng Group in the capital. Is it in the public relations department? Or the planning department?" Lu Jingyan's lips curled into an ambiguous smile.
"If someone sells company secrets to the Feng family, how do you think I would deal with that person?"
Zheng Bin's body trembled uncontrollably, and he lowered his head, not daring to look at Lu Jingyan. "Mr. Lu... I have been with Lu's Group for so many years and I would never leak company secrets."
“Hmm… since it wasn’t you, then Manager Zheng should really teach his daughter a lesson.” Lu Jingyan tapped his fingers on the table idly.
Then Zhou Yuan tossed a tablet in front of Zheng Bin and stared at him coldly, saying, "Take a good look at what she's holding."
Zheng Bin quickly grabbed the tablet and opened the video. It showed a video from an underground parking garage. His daughter was kissing and hugging a handsome man in a car. Shortly after, his daughter handed the man a document with the Lu Group logo on it.
This document was one that I took home to process; it contained information about the branch offices in various countries of E continent, including country Y.
“This…” Zheng Bin’s face turned ugly. Looking at Lu Jingyan’s indifferent expression, he felt even more terrified.
"President Lu, I didn't mean it. My daughter is still young and misjudged people. It's my fault for not raising her properly. Please forgive us, President Lu." Zheng Bin knelt down on the ground, trembling, staring at the floor with a look of horror on his face.
President Lu's methods are even more ruthless than Chairman Lu's.
This is common knowledge in the company. Back then, when President Lu was young, he took over the company and purged a group of senior executives who were causing trouble, including those branch offices in E-Asia, which were all completely replaced by him.
This incident provoked dissatisfaction among many high-ranking officials. Faced with various questions from these officials, he calmly presented the various shady deals the other party had made during their tenure.
Some people, however, refused to believe in his power and deliberately challenged him. As a result, they were ruined by President Lu, their families were destroyed, and those who should have gone to jail have already done so, while those who should have been hospitalized are still lying in bed unable to get up.
Lu Jingyan chuckled lightly, his coldness becoming even more apparent. "Let them go?"
"Two shipping routes have been destroyed, and cargo ships from multiple countries are stuck in ports. Will you compensate for these losses?"
"President Lu, please, my daughter is still young and doesn't understand. It must have been that man who bewitched her. Please, please forgive us. From now on, our whole family will serve you like slaves." Zheng Bin swallowed hard and pleaded with Lu Jingyan.
"It's not impossible to atone for your sins." Lu Jingyan lowered his head and pinched the cigarette between his pale fingers.
Zheng Bin looked up at Lu Jingyan as if he had seen a lifeline, "I will do anything I can for President Lu!"
"There's no need to be treated like a slave; the Lu family doesn't have these peculiar habits."
"Take this document home and process it. Be sure to subtly tell your daughter that it is a confidential document." Lu Jingyan gestured for Zhou Yuan to hand the document to Zheng Bin.
Zheng Bin looked up at Lu Jingyan with a puzzled expression. "But Mr. Lu, I can't do this kind of wrong thing again."
“No, you should stick to your mistake. Your daughter will make a copy of this document for that person anyway. Just make sure she makes the copy, and don’t worry about anything else,” Lu Jingyan interrupted Zheng Bin.
"After this is done, Zhou Yuan will arrange for your family to leave the capital so that the Feng family won't be able to find you."
"Yes, yes, I will definitely do it well. Thank you, President Lu, for letting our family off the hook. We will never forget this kindness. I will go and do it!" Zheng Bin then retreated nervously.
Zhou Yuan looked at his boss with a puzzled expression. "Boss, why did you give him confidential documents? What if the Feng family makes another move? Those two shipping routes might be in jeopardy."
"Isn't all they want those two shipping routes? Let's make things as chaotic as possible and see if they can handle Lu's stuff."
Lu Jingyan threw the cigarette in his hand into the trash can, looked at the phone on the table, and his handsome brows furrowed.
It's been a whole morning and this heartless woman hasn't sent him a single message!
