Chapter 830: Revenge On The Lu Family
In everyone’s opinion, Gu Zheng was suing Lu Corporation for copyright infringement and even removed Lu Corporation’s perfumes at the critical moment when the presales channel was opened. He was clearly provoking the Lu family.
Although this former illegitimate child had already recovered his ident.i.ty, the Lu family did not acknowledge him. Hence, he had to use this method to take revenge on the Lu family.
Ignoring the fact that his behavior was shameless, what right did he have to sue the Lu family? If he wanted to sue, Han Ye should have been the one to do it! Gu Zheng had no right!
Gu Zheng swirled the wine in his gla.s.s gently, his eyes were deep. They were filled with mockery and disdain.
Lu Xiang was instantly infuriated. “Gu Zheng, did you hear me?! I told you to withdraw the lawsuit immediately! Ah Yan wouldn’t have infringed the rights. Since he could put the products into production without worry, he must be confident. Even if there’s a possibility of infringement, it should be Mr. Han Ye suing the Lu family. What right do you have?!”
“Chairman!”
At this moment, the chairman’s secretary rushed in while panting. “Gu Yao is here!”
Old Master Lu had never liked Gu Yao. He was just a stupid hedonistic son. Huang Lilan only raised him to pave the way for Lu Yan. Although they had sent Gu Yao an invitation out of respect, they could not be bothered to interact with someone like Gu Yao. They did not expect Gu Yao to come.
However… what was he doing here?
Old Master Lu’s face was gloomy. He was about to send Gu Yao away when he heard his secretary say while trembling, “Y-Young Master Gu Yao said that he brought someone with him today. He’s also here to attend Lu Corporation’s annual meeting, but that person doesn’t have an invitation. If I’m not wrong, that person is Madam Carter, a famous figure in the oil painting world.”
Everyone present had heard of the name Carter. It could be said that this name resounded throughout the entire oil painting world. Everyone knew her.
Lu Yan suddenly recalled that Carter seemed to be very familiar with Qiao Xi. Moreover, Qiao Xi had the ident.i.ty of Han Yin. Perhaps Carter was here to help Gu Zheng.
At this moment, the secretary said again, “Chairman, Madam Carter said that she came here because she heard that Lu Corporation and Han Ye were working together, so she came to congratulate you.”
......
Carter was here to congratulate Lu Corporation?
Lu Corporation and Carter had nothing to do with each other. Of course, she was not here because of Lu Corporation. She probably admired Han Ye and specially came to show her face.
Lu Yan subconsciously looked at Gu Zheng. Since Carter already made her way over to congratulate him, what reason did Gu Zheng have to sue the Lu family?
He heard that Carter and Han Ye had known each other for many years. She definitely knew about Han Ye. If Han Ye really pa.s.sed away and Gu Zheng still wanted to sue the Lu family, then Gu Zheng would just be looking for trouble. At that time, Madam Carter would expose Gu Zheng and he would completely lose his reputation.
Lu Yan looked up at Old Master Lu. The two of them understood each other’s thoughts.
Lu Xiang could not suppress the excitement in her heart and hurriedly said, “Hurry up and invite Madam Carter in!”
Carter quickly entered the banquet hall and saw Gu Zheng and Qiao Xi not far away. She was about to greet them when Old Master Lu warmly came to welcome them. She could not refuse and could only nod politely.
“Madam Carter, it’s an honor for you to attend Lu Corporation’s annual meeting.”
Carter smiled indifferently. “I’m really sorry to have come so suddenly. I just heard that Lu Corporation and Han Ye are collaborating to release new perfumes. I happened to meet Mr. Gu Yao, so I congratulated him as well.
“Han Ye’s oil paintings are considered treasures in the world. I admire his talent very much. To be able to use his oil paintings as packaging for perfumes, Lu Corporation’s perfumes will definitely sell well.”
Old Master Lu and Lu Yan nodded, then revealed regretful expressions.
Carter sensed that something was wrong and asked in confusion, “Is there something wrong with what I said?”
Lu Yan replied respectfully, “No, it’s just a pity that the perfumes can’t be released for the time being.”
Carter continued to ask, “Why? Are the results of the presales not good? Young Master Lu, don’t be sad. There are many people who like Han Ye. When the perfumes are officially released, there’ll definitely be many people fighting to buy them.”
With that, Carter could not help but look at Gu Zheng. In the past, Han Ye never had any business cooperation. Now that he had suddenly agreed to collaborate with Lu Corporation, it meant that he had a deep relationship with Lu Corporation.
However, when she entered the banquet hall and saw Han Ye and Han Yin, she felt that something was wrong. The couple’s eyes were filled with ridicule.
She could not help but wonder if she had come to the wrong place. Why did she feel that Han Ye’s relationship with Lu Corporation was not good? Then why did he authorize the Lu family to use his works?
