âLu Ya had a decent eye for talent, probably the only use she had as an adopted daughter. I wonât be changing your positions, but itâs best you donât harbor any unnecessary thoughts. The incident with Jiang Ting will be deemed an accident, a pitiful accident.â
âDo any of you wish to become the next âaccidentâ?â
Lu Li spoke these words casually, even with a hint of a smile on his lips, but his words sent a shiver down the spine of everyone present.
As his words fell, the executives in the office felt a chill run down their backs. Who could have thought that the young master Lu Li, always seen as a wastrel and lapdog by the outside world, could possess such a terrifying side?
Exchanging glances again, their dissatisfaction had faded.
They werenât as foolish as Jiang Ting to get involved in the grudges of a grand family like the Lu family.
One misstep could lead to their demise.
Wasnât Jiang Ting the best demonstration?
âLu as the General Manager of the Lu Corporation is only natural. Weâre just employees; how could we have any objections?â The deputy general manager stood up and bowed respectfully to Lu Li, expressing his submission.
The rest hurriedly followed suit, today they truly understood what real family disputes were like.
âGood, thatâs settled then. As for todayâs matter, let it end here. If anything unfavorable leaks outside, none of you will be able to escape.â Smiling briefly, Lu Li rose from his chair and exited the room.
Not until Lu Li had left did the oppressive atmosphere in the room slightly ease.
âMy god, is this the power of a real familyâs young master? Werenât they saying Lu Li was just a wastrel?â
âBetter not say that anymore. Youâve seen the methods of Manager Lu Li. This likely also reflects the intentions of the Lu elders. After all, Lu Ya was just an adopted daughter.â
âYou changed your tune pretty quickly, huh?â someone mocked.
âYouâre welcome to keep your opinion, but if you want to die, donât drag me into it,â the previous speaker retorted without hesitation.
âEnough!â The deputy general manager suddenly slammed the table and called out in a low voice, surveying the room.
âRegardless, the situation is set now. Weâre just employees; letâs just focus on our jobs and not get distracted by other things.â
ââŠâŠâ
âAnd, let todayâs matter stay buried. Otherwise, weâll all go down together!â
Standing up: âThe young master of the Lu family, truly a scion of a grand family. Fires, car accidents, Iâm sure none of you wish to experience it firsthand!â
The room suddenly became solemn; honestly, who would seek death?
They all knew Jiang Ting, who could have thought such a beautiful and promising woman would suffer such a fate overnight.
With such a ârole modelâ at hand.
All from notable backgrounds, who would dare to provoke further?
âIn short, letâs just work hard from now on. Manager Lu has acknowledged our abilities,â the deputy general manager concluded.
He, for one, had no intention of rebelling.
After settling everything, Lu Li headed to his office, packing up everything related to Lu Ya and ordering it to be thrown out.
His hatred hadnât clouded his judgment, in fact, it made him exceptionally lucid. Whether it was killing Lu Ya or dealing with Jiang Ting, it wasnât a spur-of-the-moment decision.
Both of them, one the familyâs adopted daughter and the other Lu Yaâs assistant, were quietly taken care of without causing any ripples.
But the enemies that followed wouldnât be so simple.
Zhang Ziqin, the head of Zhang Corporation, Liu Menghan, the young mistress of the Liu familyâŠ
None were simple characters. He could kill them, but what would follow? Endless troubles. These women were ones he had to deal with, but with flexibility.
Lu Ya and Jiang Ting he could suppress, these few he couldnât.
âManager Lu Li, Miss Zhang Ziqin has come to visit, shall we let her up?â The front desk called, it seems the previous few had already been warned.
Very sensible.
âLet her come up!â He told the front desk.
Taking away what Zhang Ziqin cherished most and then disposing of her seemed quite interesting!
Mentally torturing a person is far crueler than physically harming them.
Silently picking up a document on the side, he began working, indifferent to the various voices within Lu Corporation. The people Lu Ya brought in had been dealt with.
A new king, new followers. They were Lu Yaâs supporters before, now with Lu Ya out, facing Lu Li, they needed to show full enthusiasm.
Otherwise, the next to be made an example of might be them.
Inadvertently, they too were drawn into the family struggle.
Probably cursing Lu Ya in their hearts by now.
Such an incapable person, easily dealt with, shouldnât have stirred trouble, damn it.
Zhang Ziqin also arrived at the door of Lu Liâs office, took a deep breath, and opened the office door.
âGet out, knock on the door.â
Before Zhang Ziqin could even step in, a cold voice came through, causing her heart to panic, she had never heard such a cold tone from Lu Li before.
âCalm down, calm down, nothing has happened yet, Lu Li hasnât been disappointed in me yet, everything can still be salvaged.â Biting her lip, Zhang Ziqin comforted herself internally.
Closing the door, she knocked again.
Only after receiving permission from inside did Zhang Ziqin breathe a sigh of relief and slowly opened the door to enter.
âLu Li, I went to the Lu family estate, and they told me youâve started taking over the company, why so suddenly, I had no idea.â A smile appeared on her face, trying her best to appear natural.
But upon seeing Lu Li again, Zhang Ziqin couldnât suppress the turmoil in her heart, wishing she could rush up and embrace him right now.
He was still alive, vividly appearing before her eyes.
Her gaze softened looking at Lu Li, as if admiring her most cherished treasure.
âMiss Zhang is here to manage the Lu family affairs?â Lu Liâs eyes slightly lifted, his smile ambiguous.
This was the first time this woman had come looking for him of her own accord, huh.
When I was tirelessly following you, you didnât care, and now that Iâve stopped being a lapdog, you come knocking on my door. Lu Li understood Zhang Ziqinâs mindset; it was just that her
always-following lapdog wasnât around, making her uncomfortable.
Truly⊠disgusting!
