The dawn break and the night sky began to lighten. The curtains with silver lining flew along with gentle breeze smoothly. As the mother and son duo sleeping quietly sharing the same blanket, there was pin-drop silence in the room other than there regular and soft breaths.
The entire room was dark apart from the cornered sofa"s above ceilings cool dusky light was falling on the man sitting on the couch languidly. After making the child and girl sleep and taking his shower, Lu Jianjun sat there with his legs crossed one over another his head t.i.tled downcast as the ends of his raven hair locks were still moist falling on his forehead. Without blinking, his eyes were focused on reading as his dark pupils were moving along the strings of words of Zhang"s records.
Reading the file thoroughly. He went into details of Zhang"s business because Lu Jianjun"s and Zhang"s domain of business is completely different sectors.
Zhang"s business relates to the health care sector like hospital services, manufacturing medical equipment, medicines, experimenting on new drugs, medical insurance, and many other health-related cares whereas Lu Enterprise belongs to the airline sector, though it was on a commercial level only in China"s within cities and a few other nearby countries gradually expanding as Lu Jianjun was doing it all from the scratch, aircraft manufacturing, designing, testing, and their maintenance, goods s.h.i.+pping, everything. Though with growing years both have invested in different sectors of branches still their main business remains rooted which restrained them from bothering and interfering with each other"s territory where they dominate as their brand is well-known for excellence.
As Lu Jianjun reads further with an expression filled with seriousness, his brows furrowed slightly.
Inside the file, there were also specific records from the two decades ago business and tradeoff between Li and Zhang Corporation before the downfall of Lis. Naturally, the main branch of both enterprises belongs to the health sector but they were still very separate.
During that era, Lis greatly dominated over Zhangs. Lis healthcare business was mainly focused on manufacturing and exporting medical products overseas earning higher revenue than Zhangs and additionally causing a huge loss to them. Since Li and Zhang"s family were close they signed a tradeoff between them as Zhangs didn"t wish to rival Lis nor Lis could afford to make a good friend into a tough compet.i.tor. At that time, It was Mei Xing"s mother, Li Jiazhi who became a mediator between two clas.h.i.+ng enterprises.
The tradeoff Li Jiazhi offered was simple, Zhang"s business will earn profit within-country including the medicinal supplies and products to military forces deals. The turn over of single military force medical expense was huge let alone all other forces too. If Zhangs got this they don"t have to worry about their business outside the military, they can earn huge profit by servicing the military"s requirement and that so without Lis bidding for deals. Thus the agreement was signed Zhangs will make a profit within the country and Lis will gain outside the country through exporting. It was a win-win situation for both families but there was also a huge risk at the same time. Well, who would have thought that later on, Li Jiazhi will make Zhangs to crush Lis into dust!
Quietly closing the file, Lu Jianjun looked at Li Na on the bed. Impossible and futile to fight for!
It is how he concluded to the girl"s high ambition and dream of rebuilding the fallen Li Empire. And for someone as inexperienced and young like Li Na, this goal is unattainable. Because it will be even challenging and extremely tough for someone who has a brain as smart and intelligent as Mei Xing herself. This isn"t a fun play at all. It"s useless to pull on a spineless dead body to make it stand on its own, it needs huge support and effort to make spineless standstill, however, it"s all waste as the dead body can"t walk on its own. Lis enterprise was exactly like that. When Lu Jianjun warned Li Na to be aware of her own words he was been genuinely serious with her.
Just then he was interrupted by a random thought before he brushes it off, he seems to be much more interested to see how would Mei Xing deals with this hard situation. It"s impossible to fix the damage already made. Is she even capable enough to deal with this...
"Mm!" a protesting hushed rumble came from the little beasty like a silent growl. Slumberous, Li Na"s brows contorted as she reached to embrace the baby placing an arm and snuggle her pillow. Lu Jianjun was disrupted as he raised his brows wondering what is she protesting in her sleep.
The sun was out in the sky, s.h.i.+ning bright and warm. The golden rays falling inside the room through the gla.s.s wall, slowly climbing up to the bed with each pa.s.sing second. Lu Jianjun got up and picked up the remote from the table and closed the curtain and s.h.i.+eld blocking the light and darkening the room before these sneaky sunrays could nudge and stir both mother and son from their graceful sleep.
Glimpsing at his lit phone screen with an upcoming message, Lu Jianjun walked into the closet and get dressed for the day.
Not a few minutes pa.s.sed when Li Na has embraced the boy and Little Tiger stirred up instantly.
Over the blanket, feeling something lightweight fell on his tummy Little Tiger opened his sleepy eyes as he absent-mindedly stared at the familiar ceiling for a while. His drowsy eyes have yet to adjust the darkness when he stretched out his little arms and hit someone right on the face.
Reflexively, Little Tiger froze as the grip around his tummy tighten in response. Startled, as he was never squeezed like this before as if someone has mistaken him for a doll to hug. But before the boy could completely wake up to reality, his little frame was easily pulled and drawn into a warm and gracious embrace. It was quite different from his father"s supporting and protectively strong arms, these soft arms felt comforting and soothing.
A soft kiss landed on his forehead before he heard a melodious voice, "Good Morning, Baby." basking him with love and care. Little Tiger c.o.c.ked his head and saw his mother smiling at him. His big chocolate eyes gradually closed when she looked him in the eyes before she kissed his forehead again. He buried his head into her nape as if wanting to sleep more.
"Get up both of you," a commanding voice reverberates from Li Na"s back as both the mother and son looked at each other wide-eyed and startled.
