No matter how much the Lu family changed, it did not affect Lu Yi's plan to rise again after his rebirth.
It's true that the Fan family is his support, but he can't rely on them for the rest of his life.
To this day, neither Old Ma nor anyone else has uncovered the truth behind the Daniel incident.
There was always a thorn in Lu Yi's heart, which would suddenly pop up and stab him a few times whenever he achieved some success.
Even someone as spies as Gong Che, who had eyes and ears everywhere, didn't mention Daniel's death at all. The more Lu Yi thought about it, the more he felt that it was better to become independent sooner rather than later.
University courses were no challenge for him.
The foreigner, who had considerable insight into the machinery industry, was quite discouraged by Lu Yi's rapid progress and left a letter before returning to his country.
After finalizing Gu Keke's surgery arrangements, Lu Yi returned to his office from the experimental workshop.
As soon as I opened the door, my phone rang.
Gong Che's appearance at his company's ribbon-cutting ceremony was not a good thing.
A small temple cannot contain a great Buddha, and besides, only a few close people, such as Fan Shenglun and Fan Huijun, knew about his company.
Originally, the plan was to hold a small ceremony behind closed doors and that would be it.
With Gong Che's interference, the ceremony really can't be taken too lightly.
Fan Shenglun rarely comes to the company. When I opened the door, I saw him with a worried look on his face. He was writing inexplicable patterns on the paper with his pen, and the ink had seeped through the paper.
He cleared his throat and walked over to the sofa to sit down.
"Yi'er, it's rare for you to have your own ideas, so I'll take the liberty of arranging the ceremony for you!"
Fan Shenglun's voice was loud and clear, and his joy was visibly written on his face.
Even the secretary who brought in the documents for Lu Yi to review noticed it.
"Mr. Fan, is there any good news at the company today?"
The secretary was a recent college graduate who had been hired by Fan Shenglun. She was carefully selected by Fan Shenglun to help Lu Yi quickly familiarize herself with the company's business.
The young man was only a few years older than Lu Yi. Among the group of sponsored students, his grades were not the best, but he was very thoughtful.
On the day of the interview, Fan Shenglun chose the laboratory as the location.
There were no specific assessment criteria; Fan Shenglun let them do as they pleased.
Most other applicants chose equipment they were familiar with, explaining the working principles, structure, and application scenarios of these devices.
Only Liang Xu, who was at the very back, looked around, his eyebrows furrowed tightly, and remained silent.
Fan Shenglun called his name, and only then did he point to the most inconspicuous electrical box in the corner and say that there was a problem there.
Everyone thought he was taking a different approach to attract attention.
Even the other interviewers thought so.
Some even stated frankly that the Fan family was not a cutthroat arena of intrigue, but rather a place where true ability prevailed.
Fan Shenglun noticed that he kept glancing in that direction, so he casually beckoned an electrician over and asked him to go and take a look.
This glance was quite alarming; the electrician's expression instantly changed.
Immediately afterwards, smoke suddenly billowed out of the electrical box...
Afterwards, Fan Shenglun brought Liang Xu to Lu Yi and appointed Liang Xu as his special assistant and secretary.
When Lu Yi asked about his interview experience, Liang Xu humbly explained that because he was last in line, he had no choice after the other applicants had chosen their models.
So I racked my brains and, unexpectedly, I heard a faint electrical sound, accompanied by a faint burnt smell.
Liang Xu also said that it was all because he was lucky.
If other people are located close to the electrical box, then he has nothing to do.
Lu Yi smiled and found him a reliable old man to be his master. Now he can stand on his own.
When he asked, Fan Shenglun laughed even more heartily, looking at him teasingly.
"Xiao Liang, your boss Yi has started his own business. Are you staying with Fan's or following him?"
Liang Xu put down the document and looked cautiously at Lu Yi.
“I… If Mr. Yi doesn’t mind that I’m not smart, I would naturally be willing… Ah, but Mr. Fan, the Fan family has treated me well, and I’m willing to follow their arrangements.”
Lu Yi and Fan Shenglun both laughed.
Fan Shenglun stood up and patted him on the shoulder.
"Little Liang, a good bird chooses a good tree to perch on, and this is what I, this old piece of firewood, am like!"
"The Fan family will need you young people to take over sooner or later. Go and make sure you have a good job of arranging the ceremony for the new company. The procedures and details are with Lao Li. Go ask him for them!"
Liang Xu breathed a sigh of relief and nodded solemnly, "Yes, I'll go right away!"
When I ran out, my feet felt much lighter.
Fan Shenglun put his hands behind his back, shook his head and chuckled a few times, then slowly looked away, pursing his lips.
"Yi'er, you need to have your own people around you. Liang Xu is a trustworthy kid. As for the others who came in with him, take them with you too!"
"As for those old folks from the Fan family, let them stay here. They're a bunch of old fogies; they'd only be good for taking advantage of their age if they went there..."
Lu Yi dared not agree.
Those "things" picked out one by one certainly won't amount to much.
But when they unite as one, they become the backbone of the Fan family!
Previously, Fan Huijun was too busy to deal with everything, so he had to take over. Those old geezers were utterly unreasonable.
Even if the young managers and supervisors supported Lu Yi, as long as they kept a straight face, no one dared to say a word.
Some even tattled on Fan Huijun to his face.
Lu Yi couldn't help but chuckle as he thought of those veteran "artists" with their superb acting skills.
Fan Shenglun's face regained its serious expression, as if he were discussing serious business.
"They'll only behave here, so I won't pretend to give it to you. But Old Li is a good guy; he likes new things, and he knows a little about protons, nuclei, quantum neutrinos, and such!"
"Besides, young people are always impetuous. I worry that once they are under your command, they will all turn into wild horses. It will be beneficial to let Old Li, this old horse, guide them."
He looked at Lu Yi with great satisfaction, and was momentarily moved.
“Yi’er has grown up, but he hasn’t enjoyed many good days. He has to shoulder heavy responsibilities at a young age. I’m not a very good father!”
For a fleeting moment, Lu Yi seemed to see tears welling up in his eyes.
But in the blink of an eye, it disappeared again.
That look in his eyes was so unfamiliar to him that he would have to traverse mountains and valleys to unearth it from the dusty corners of his memory.
That was the look in his eyes the last time I saw my uncle.
Further ahead was my father.
The word "father" has multiple different meanings in his life's dictionary.
But the one who truly deserves this title is Lu Zhengming.
However, Lu Zhengming had never looked at him like that before.
That look, filled with scrutiny, doubt, and even disgust, left the deepest impression on Lu Yi's mind.
Seeing him lower his head and remain silent, Fan Shenglun lowered his voice.
"Yi'er, I've already put in a good word. Try to visit Lu Zhengming sometime, after all..."
The words were left unsaid, but they left the tongue feeling even more astringent than if they had been spoken.
Lu Yi looked up at him and immediately shook his head.
"And your mother, I heard she couldn't take the shock and fell ill. A mental hospital is no place to recover; why don't you take her out..."
Before he could finish speaking, Fan Shenglun suddenly turned around and hunched over.
