Chapter 479: My Girl Is So Capable!
“Let me remind you of this. If any of you want to pick on me, say it now. Otherwise, when I take office officially, I will not let you do it anymore.”
“I have never expected my niece to turn out to be someone so powerful. Is it Chief Sheng from Zhongteng who taught you this?” The second uncle of the Lu family shrugged. “But you are willing to trust an outsider rather than your own uncles. I would not believe that Zhongteng does not have a motive behind this. You could only cry by then when anything happens.”
“You will see if I am taught by the people from Zhongteng after I take office. One thing that I can guarantee you is that I will not be able to perform very well in a short time. But I will work hard to maintain the business just as before the pa.s.sing of my father.”
“I shall give you three months to familiarize with the businesses of Lu Holdings. If you cannot achieve the minimum target and show your ability in the industry, I will divest my capital.” Some rational shareholders were willing to give Lu Qianqian a chance.
Of course, some of Papa Lu’s old friends would still hope that Lu Qianqian could carry the burden of her family business.
“Three months is it then. In these three months, we shall not object to your decisions in any way. But you will have to take full responsibility for your decisions. Don’t blame us for not reminding you, the business field is just like a battlefield. Everyone’s money is his hard work of a lifetime. n.o.body is willing to burn their money for a little girl like you. Can you understand this?”
Lu Qianqian nodded. “I accept your challenge. But, uncles, if I discover that you do something that will harm Lu Holdings behind my back just to embarra.s.s me, you should know what I will do.”
Lu Qianqian said this frankly in advance to prevent her uncles from playing dirty tricks.
“Rest a.s.sure, Eldest Young Mistress. If the uncles of Lu Holdings do that, we, the shareholders shall not agree on it.
“Great. Then, I shall take office in five days.”
The shareholders thought that they must be crazy to put their trust in such a young girl. However, they could see the determination of Papa Lu in Lu Qianqian. Maybe she inherited his father’s fine quality. It urged them to want to believe her.
After the shareholders left, the shareholders of Zhongteng stood up and said, “I hope Chairman Lu will not disappoint CEO Sheng.”
“Please tell him that I will hand over him an exam paper that will satisfy him.” Lu Qianqian shook hands with them.
Lu Qianqian might look very young and tender. But she showed the caliber of a leader from her tone and posture.
The representatives from Zhongteng were pleased. They turned around and left. Lu Qianqian took a deep breath of relief. At least she had pa.s.sed the first round.
But there were still a lot of obstacles ahead if she wanted to be a good chairman for Lu Holdings.
Grandpa Lin was waiting at the lobby of the building of Lu Holdings. Because he wanted to know who his grandson had asked to help him to get rid of the girl he had sent to the police academy. And it was only today that he knew about this.
And it seemed to be getting more difficult for him to get any news about Lin Mu’an from the police academy.
It was a fact that Lu Qianqian was becoming the chairman. But Lu Qianqian had just lost her father. It was impossible for her to get involved with the matter of Lin Mu’an in the police academy. So, how did Lin Mu’an manage that?
Grandpa Lin stared at the building of Lu Holdings. His grudge got more intense as he was standing there.
He thought Lin Mu’an was just kidding about joining the police academy in the beginning. When he could not bear it anymore, he would return to the Lin family naturally without him playing any tricks to force him to do so. But after so long, Lin Mu’an seemed to be able to perform even without the support of the Lin family.
More importantly, with the relations.h.i.+p between him and Lu Qianqian becoming so close and intimate already, they would become even more inseparable now, wouldn’t they?
“Go.” Grandpa Lin looked at the entrance of Lu Holdings once more before ordering his chauffeur.
Was this girl forcing him to take the deadliest path?
…
Lu Qianqian was glad for pa.s.sing the first round with the shareholders. Once she got home, she immediately texted Lin Mu’an.
Lin Mu’an was pleased when he read the message. He trained harder than ever. “My girl is so capable!”
“Mu’an, let’s go for it together!”
“Wait for me.” He had the urge to go to the frontline and fight for a medal of meritorious service. Of course, he needed help. And for Sheng Xiao, his utmost mission was to pave the wide path for him.
…
At night, in the Sheng residence.
When Sheng Kai returned home from Huang Yao, he saw Gu Ziling sitting at the dressing table, looking moody.
To comfort his wife, Sheng Kai went to her and embraced her. “I knew about the incident in the morning already.”
“What’s the use of you knowing about it? You can’t help me either.” Gu Ziling broke free from Sheng Kai’s hug subtly. “You know only to obey Grandfather and nothing else.
“We can just ignore Third Brother and only take care of us in the future,” said Sheng Kai to comfort his wife. “As for that sister-in-law, you will get another chance to screw her up. She is just mentally challenged and you are the caretaker of this family, aren’t you? Why make yourself so unhappy for such a thing?”
“Kai, I am doing this for you, for us. You know, Grandfather’s temper is getting more and more unpredictable. Now he might seem to like you, but he can destroy you the next day. If I let Third Brother get close to Grandfather, your career will be threatened. On top of that, he married the daughter of the Hu family. Grandfather is feeling guilty toward him, he even gave him the position as deputy CEO. I’m worried.”
Sheng Kai couldn’t help but laugh upon hearing this. “I didn’t expect you to worry so much about me.”
“Come on.”
“Third Brother is not capable enough to be my rival. Don’t worry.”
“Don’t forget he has Sheng Xiao.” Gu Ziling sighed anxiously. “If Sheng Xiao gets involved with this, or Sheng Xiao uses him to go against you, will you be able to handle it? Look at how powerful Sheng Xiao is now. His status is higher now compared to what he used to be. He could easily make you drown under the work in Huang Yao for months just by flicking his finger.”
Sheng Kai had never thought of this before.
“Don’t worry, I will retain my control over Huang Yao. Although I pity Third Brother, it is his choice to marry that child.” Sheng Kai a.s.sured Gu Ziling. “I will not let anyone change the status we have in the Sheng family.”
“I will screw that touched-in-the-head for sure tomorrow. Otherwise, I can’t get my peace of mind.”
“Alright, suit yourself!” Sheng Kai quickly agreed with his wife.
