Itâs unclear when it started, but Lu Li, who was once just a somewhat gloomy big boy, began to harden his heart. Perhaps it was from that banquet, or perhaps from the moment he was reborn. For someone who has already died once, there really isnât much left to fear. Having gone through so much, thereâs also not much left to care about.
Dressed neatly, Lu Li walked out of his office. His handsome face, almost devoid of any emotion, silenced everyone in his path. Even a glance from Lu Li made people feel as if they were pricked by needles.
âDamn, who said Lu Li Gongzi is a wastrel? Stand out, Iâll show you, calling that a wastrel.â
âThe imposing manner is terrifying; it feels like Lu Li Gongzi has even more of a presence than General Manager Lu Ya.â
âCough cough, what General Manager Lu Ya, thatâs Miss Lu Ya.â
The person who spoke was suddenly shocked, quickly shutting his mouth. The company had already âchanged dynastiesâ, and they, the minor characters, though not understanding the ins and outs, knew that it was now Lu Li Gongziâs era.
At this time, still calling Lu Ya General Manager, isnât that asking for trouble?
âAlright, shut up, get back to your work. You all know the situation now; if you still want to work here, donât entertain any unnecessary thoughts.â The deputy general manager came out, stopping the quarrel, his expression stern.
Sometimes, ignorance truly is bliss. He knew the truth, and now he couldnât extricate himself.
The scene instantly fell silent, everyone swiftly returned to their seats. With a new official taking charge, who knows if Lu Liâs fire would burn onto their heads.
***
Now, Lu Li is the nominal general manager, but his parents have transferred all their shares to him, effectively making him the actual chairman.
âHa ha ha ha, my wise nephew, long time no see. I didnât expect that when we meet again, you would have taken up such a position, truly makes your uncle happy!â
An elderly man addressed Lu Li with a grin that was more of a grimace, while the five or six others also looked at Lu Li with doubtful eyes.
The notorious name of the wastrel young master Lu Li resounded throughout Hang City, but overnight, such a person had risen above them, and they felt the companyâs future had dimmed significantly.
âYou donât need to be insincere here. I am now the largest shareholder of Lu Corporation, owning more than fifty-one percent of the shares. Your shares combined donât amount to as much as mine. According to the rules, the operation of this company is entirely under my control.â
He scanned the crowd.
The first to speak was a man named Lin Tianhai, considered a business partner who had struggled alongside his father.
Calling Lu Li a wise nephew wasnât wrong.
Unfortunately, he was someone who was never satisfied, always eyeing and colluding with other companies over the years, ambitious to control Lu Corporation himself.
âIf you donât see a future for the company, I can buy your shares right now. Letâs keep things simple and not complicate them.â
Lu Li glanced at these shareholders. Taking control of the company wasnât easy. The executives promoted by Lu Ya were just the tip of the iceberg.
The real trouble was from these guys holding shares in Lu Corporation.
It seemed they were taken aback by Lu Liâs straightforwardness. Usually, talking to people like them involved a lot of pleasantries before getting to the point.
Lin Tianhaiâs face darkened momentarily. This kid came prepared, disrupting his rhythm in an instant.
Todayâs sudden board meeting was their attempt to challenge Lu Li.
âYou jest, nephew. Perhaps you are not aware of our Lu Corporationâs rules. Matters like shareholder meetings involve voting, majority rules, thatâs why Lu Corporation thrives.â
Lin Tianhai sneered.
This kid is too naive.
âI know what Lu Corporation used to be, but remember, the reason itâs called Lu Corporation is because the controllers bear the surname Lu.â
âMy dad was sentimental, knowing uncle, you struggled alongside him and chose some ways to keep you comfortable. But the real rule is that Lu Corporation belongs to the Lu family, itâs the dictatorship of the largest shareholder.â
âI donât want to give you face now, Uncle Lin, what can you do?â
Mocking the old man in front of him, Lu Li didnât hide the irony in his eyes.
âYouâŠâ
âAlright, I donât want to talk much with you. Iâm here to inform you, holding the shares you do, you all earn five or six billion a year from dividends. Donât do anything unnecessary, it would be unpleasant for everyone to lose face.â
Lu Li directly interrupted Lin Tianhaiâs words. He knew his words were harsh, but he didnât need these guys to feel good about it.
âAlso, some among us have been secretly involved with other groups. Donât think that can be hidden from everyone. I advise you all to behave yourselves.â
His gaze fixed on Lin Tianhai, clearly referring to him.
Immediately, all shareholders turned their gazes towards Lin Tianhai, their eyes filled with inquiry.
Lin Tianhaiâs expression fluctuated, turning pale, then blue, a hint of malice flashing in his eyes, thinking inwardly, does this kid really have something on him?
âNow, I will announce the future plans for the company. First, all projects in cooperation with Zhang Corporation will cease. Second, Director Lin Tianhai, your previously managed bidding for land with Zhao Corporation can also stop. Does anyone have questions?â
His gaze directly targeted Lin Tianhai.
âManager Lu, the cooperation with Zhang Corporation is currently our most profitable project. If we stop now, the short-term investments will be wasted!â
âYes! Manager Lu, and this was a cooperation confirmed by General Manager Lu Ya before, weâve already invested a significant amount of money, we canât let this investment go to waste.â
âAccording to the project departmentâs estimates, the land weâre auctioning off will be the focus of city development in the future. Getting it now is a surefire profitable deal.â
âPlease reconsider, Manager Lu!â
Several shareholders looked at each other, wasnât it said that this Lu Gongzi was Zhang Corporationâs Zhang Ziqinâs lapdog? Why did he cut ties with Zhang Corporation right away?
This is too strange.
Could it be that the lapdog turned back, no longer fawning?
