nEveryone looked at Lu Hongyong silently.

n

nLu Hongyong clenched his fists, took out his cell phone, and made a call.

n

n“Butler, bring a chair to the meeting room.”

n

nLu Gan said calmly, “I thought my idea was pretty good.”

n

nLu Hongyong looked at his son. After a long while, he turned to Song Ci.

n

n“Do you think so too?”

n

nSong Ci was unhappy that Lu Hongyong had held the meeting upstairs. The Lu family did not care about Lu Gan. So, she smiled and said, “I agree. Don’t trouble yourself because of me. As your daughter-in-law, I should respect you. We’re all family. There’s no need to be courteous. Regardless, just do as you please.”

n

nAfter saying that, she even deliberately looked at Lu Gan and added, “Look, father-in-law is so polite.”

n

nLu Hongyong gave her a fake smile. This woman made him speechless.

n

nLu Gan chuckled and held Song Ci’s hand. Then, he looked at his father and said, “Didn’t you say that we have something to discuss? We should hop on to the main topic. Don’t waste my time.”

n

nLu Hongyong could not help but grit his teeth.

n

nLu Jie’s father, Lu Hongchang, urged him impatiently, “Big brother, let’s get down to business.”

n

nLu Jingjing chimed in, “That’s right. Uncle, let’s not get distracted.”

n

nLu Hongyong took a few deep breaths and said, “I’ve received Lu Gan’s resignation letter. At present, the position of general manager in our family’s company is vacant. This meeting is to discuss who should take over.”

n

nLu Suying, who had previously discussed with Lu Hongchang, immediately said, “Lu Jie has worked hard in the company for many years. I think he’s a suitable candidate.”

n

nLu Suying’s son, daughter, and son-in-law agreed.

n

n“Besides, Lu Jie is the oldest. We’re not qualified in terms of seniority.”

n

nLu Hongju twirled the sandalwood bracelet in his hand and said with a sullen face, “I think it’s better to hire a professional manager.”

n

n“Lu Hongju, are you saying that Lu Jie is not qualified?”

n

nLu Hongchang asked as he turned to look at him.

n

nLu Hongju smiled and said, “I’m just thinking in the company’s best interest.”

n

n“Who isn’t? That’s why our family members should be the general manager, not some outsider. In the future, are we replacing everyone with foreigners?”

n

nLu Hongchang and Lu Hongju started quarreling. Lu Jingjing and Lu Suying’s voices were also mixed in.

n

nSong Ci was amused. Suddenly, Lu Gan pinched her hand.

n

nHe smiled and said, “Are you enjoying yourself?”

n

n“It’s not bad,”

n

nSong Ci commented.

n

nIn Lu Gan’s eyes, this was all just a farce.

n

nOut of nowhere, Lu Hongju asked, “Lu Gan, what’s your opinion? Do you think Lu Jie is suitable?”

n

nLu Gan looked at his third uncle, then at Lu Jie. He was very nervous, but he pretended to be calm.

n

n“I don’t care.”

n

n“Pa!”

n

nLu Hongju put down the bracelet in his hand. He was very disappointed in Lu Gan. “How can you say that? Lu Heng had always wanted you to take over! You’re only crippled physically, not mentally!”

n

nLu Gan sneered, “Third uncle, maybe you should ask someone to break your legs. After that, come back and tell me about your mentality!”

n

nLu Hongju’s face turned gloomy. He did not say anything else.

n

nLu Gan looked at everyone mockingly.

n

n“Talk is cheap. None of you will understand my feelings. In your eyes, I’m just a cripple. So why are you guys so bothered with me?”

n

nEveryone silently lowered their heads.

n

nIt seemed like Lu Gan had really lost his fighting spirit.

n

nLu Jie pretended to be a good person and said, “Second brother is right. Some people talk as if they understand others’ struggles.”

n

nLu Hongju chuckled and crossed his fingers.

n

n“Lu Jie, why don’t you be direct? What do you mean by some people?”

n

nLu Hongyong knocked on the table and said coldly, “Alright, let’s take a vote. Raise your hand if you think Lu Jie should be the general manager.”

n

nMore than half of the people raised their hands.

n

nLu Hongyong nodded.

n

n“Then it’s decided.”

n

nLu Jie smiled and said, “I’ll do my best for the Lu family.”

n

nLu Hongju sneered and got up. He was about to leave, but Lu Hongyong stopped him.

n

n“Sit.”

n

nLu Hongju reluctantly sat back down.
