Chapter 508: There’s a Group Date at Night
The next morning, Mu Qiqi carried her luggage out of the bedroom. Sheng Xiao followed behind her. He planned to send her to the campus where the students would meet up. Strangely enough, the man did not respond to her when she was clinging onto him. He was still anxious about getting married two days ago, but now he was not even giving her a hug when she was about to leave. Mu Qiqi suddenly felt that the man must be doing it on purpose.
He was making her miss him even more.
Feng Shanshan saw Mu Qiqi was distressed. So she mocked at her. “Do you really have to act this way? It’s just a couple of minutes.”
Feng Shanshan did not understand, and Mu Qiqi could be bothered to explain it to her. Sometimes, she just could not understand. Why could they just carry out the exchange program in Jianchuan? Must they go so far to Y City?
“Since you’re out, you should enjoy it. There’s a group date at night.”
Mu Qiqi was speechless.
Could she say that she did not want to go?
“You all should get fired up tonight. You should show your energy as university students. n.o.body is allowed to find an excuse to leave.” Once they got into the bus, the lecturer reminded them. “Especially you, Qiqi. You always refuse to take part in the events. We know your situation is a bit different, but you still need to try to blend in.”
“Okay.” Mu Qiqi was helpless.
If she was not with Sheng Xiao, she would find any event, apart from work, boring. When she thought about not being with him for days, she would feel listless.
On the other hand, Xu Che had prepared the doc.u.ments. “Chief Sheng, we can depart now.”
Sheng Xiao was wearing a camel coat. He went to the parking lot in Zhongteng and headed to Y City.
Thinking of the little one’s face when she left, he smirked. It was rather interesting…
…
At the same time, it was crowded in Lu Holdings. Because the young lady of the Lu family was holding an inauguration conference.
The uncles of the Lu family expressed strong dissatisfaction with Lu Qianqian. But with the representative of Zhongteng and Lin Mu’an there, they could not stop her from taking office.
As Lin Mu’an was on vacation, he could attend the inauguration conference.
The youngest Uncle Lu did not know how Lin Mu’an had made the Lin family comply and caused him to lose the chance to form an alliance with Old Lin. In this way, he could not stop Lu Qianqian from becoming the chairperson even if he used up all his energy.
This grand event was held in one of the hotels owned by Lu Holdings. At the moment, Lu Qianqian was wearing a black professional suit. She looked clean and smart.
To prevent any unwanted incident from happening during the inauguration conference, Lin Mu’an ordered the female bodyguard to stay by Lu Qianqian’s side all the time. He also arranged some men to restrict the movement of her uncles.
At nine o’clock in the morning, the inauguration conference began officially.
“Look at the girl standing on the stage. It’s such a joke. But there are so many people supporting her.”
“She is the only child of the late Chairman Lu. Of course she should inherit Lu Holdings.”
“The uncles of the Lu family will definitely devour her. Just wait and see.”
Some people down the stage did not have high hopes for Lu Qianqian. After all, she was just a twenty years old girl who lacked experience.
However, Lu Qianqian walked steadily onto the stage in response to the applause. She looked at the hundreds of shareholders and employees of Lu Holdings calmly.
“I know many of you do not have high hopes for me. You may think that there is no hope for Lu Holdings anymore. You may also think that I am just a young girl and I will not be able to run such a big corporation. But, I am the only child of my late father. If I don’t have the right to stand here, who will have it? By the way, who has never been young before? If you don’t give me the chance and decide that I am incapable right away, I will say that that is pure prejudice. Today, I announce that I will be the new chairman of Lu Holdings. And I need your help. I will expand the business of Lu Holdings based on the branch offices we have now and continue building the empire of Lu Holdings. Secondly, I will hold a meeting with the board of directors to discuss the big projects my father had been working on in these few days. We will meet to reach an agreement and resume the projects. Thirdly, I shall clear all the pests in the company. I have a name list already. I will meet with you one by one. At the same time, I shall give each department a week’s time to improve. If I see an improvement in the department, I will forgive you for your low performance in the past. And I hope to work with all of you to create a better future for the company. We will be like a family in private. So please, you can be casual with me. But when we are in the office, I am our chairman. So, regardless of my age, I am in this position which I hope I will get the respect I deserve.”
The little girl impressed the shareholders. They did not expect to see this in her. They were somehow intrigued by her.
She increased the benefits of the employees once she got on stage. Perhaps she was feeding sweet dates to the employees to a.s.sure them.
But then she announced that she wanted to rectify the issues of the company. She was giving them a warning, to remind them who the boss was. She had wisely used the reward and punishment system to show her power. It was beautiful. At least, the little girl was way better than they thought. She was not the cowardly girl who they expected would stammer and panicked when she got onto the stage.
It looked like Lu Holdings was still having a bright future ahead with a lot of possibilities.
The audience gave her an applause. Mama Sheng and Lin Mu’an were especially glad to see her on the stage.
However, right then, the door was pushed open by a tall man wearing spectacles. He walked into the hall and said, “Since it is the inauguration conference of the new chairman of Lu Holdings, then can you give me a final word in this?”
“Who are you?”
“I am the person in charge of Qiheng Electronics. I want to withdraw our contract with your company. But your board of directors keeps on delaying the matter. When your late chairman was still alive, I trusted him very much. But since he is not around anymore, I think there is no need for us to continue our collaboration. After all, you take office as the chairman of your company is a risk to my company. I am sorry. I don’t want to look for troubles with you on such a day. But my company had been trying to reach your company but failed. So, I am forced to meet you here.”
What was he doing if he was not looking for trouble?
If Lu Qianqian could not handle the matter perfectly, her words just now would become a joke.
Everyone was looking at Lu Qianqian anxiously. But Lu Qianqian was still very calm. “Apart from me, is there any other reason for you to terminate the contract?
“We have been working with each other so many times. So I think there should not be any other reason.”
