Chapter 83: Spending It All, Simply Can’t Spend It All

Lu Chengze was sent to jail, and Mr. Lu’s health failing, had retired behind the scenes for many years. The mess in the company naturally fell to Lu Chengyuan to handle.

This was both a test and an opportunity to establish his authority.

With the financial support of Mr. Lu and Mrs. Lu, it shouldn’t have been a difficult task.

However, even this seemingly easy task hit a snag at a crucial moment.

Seeing Lu Chengyuan’s flustered appearance, Mr. Lu sighed in disappointment, his eyes closing slightly. “What’s so urgent that you’re in such a panic?”

Mrs. Lu, noticing the old man’s disappointment, glared at her son and softly soothed him, “Speak calmly.”

Lu Chengyuan, having been reprimanded, slowed his pace. “Dad, someone is buying up a large number of Lu’s scattered shares, and we can’t compete with them.”

Mr. Lu’s hand tightening on the back of his chair, asked, “Is it the Jian family?”

Lu Chengyuan shook his head. “No, the Jian family did compete with us, but they’ve stopped now.”

Jian Ning had been dissatisfied with Lu’s company for a long time because of Jian Yao’s incident, and they had been on guard against them from the start.

Moreover, although the Jian family was more powerful than the Lu family, they weren’t in a position to achieve a decisive victory.

This was the most frightening aspect for Lu Chengyuan.

The company capable of doing this must be a behemoth, capable of easily taking down Lu’s company.

And they still didn’t even know who the opponent was.

Mr. Lu’s face darkened, and he glared fiercely at Lu Chengze, who was standing on the floor. “I know about this. You go back to the company and do what you need to do. Wait for my instructions.”

After speaking, Mr. Lu turned and went upstairs.

He already had a hunch, but he needed to confirm it with those old guys.

With the company in turmoil, no one paid attention to Lu Chengze.

He stood like an invisible man, and when he saw the old man disappear on the second floor, he turned and left without looking at anyone else.

Lu Chengyuan watched him leave, his thin lips slightly pursed, his eyes complex.

When only Mrs. Lu and the others remained in the living room, Lu Jingyi couldn’t help but criticize her brother.

You came back at the wrong time. Just now, Lu Chengze had already fallen out with the old man and offered to quit the Lu family. If you had come back a little later, that little bastard might have already packed up and left.”

Lu Chengyuan turned to look at her, a sneer on his lips. “What is he without Lu’s company? It’s just a trick to retreat and advance.”

He wouldn’t leave.

Besides, he had made a series of mistakes, and the company’s shareholders were already dissatisfied. Even if he stayed, it would be pointless. By voluntarily leaving, he could at least save face.

Mrs. Lu waved her hand. “Alright, stop arguing. The old man won’t let him go.”

That old fox always acted out of self-interest. He had raised Lu Chengze for so many years, and he wouldn’t let him go easily without completely squeezing him dry and utilizing him.

Lu Chengyuan frowned, incredulous. “He’s already like this, how could Dad let him continue to manage the company?”

Lu Jingyi reacted faster than her brother.

She immediately thought of the look in the old man’s eyes when he looked at Lu Chengze’s face just now.

“Could it be…?”

She looked at her mother with a complex expression, seeking confirmation. After receiving confirmation, she suddenly felt a little sympathy for Lu Chengze.

She and her brother had been fighting with Lu Chengze for so many years, and at most, they just wanted to drive him out of Lu’s company.

The old man is even more cruel than her and her brother.

Although Lu Chengze was an illegitimate child, he was still his biological son!

…

Having entrusted the matter to Gu Zhiyan, Jian Yao felt very relieved.

She spent the entire afternoon in her study, translating with reference books.

When she saw Gu Zhiyan’s message, it was already past five in the afternoon.

“I’ve arrived at the company, I’m already working on what I promised you.”

“Today is also a day of ‘grading homework’. [Picture attached, company planning department proposal].”

The most recent one was just posted.

“I’m going to have to work late tonight, eating at the company. [Picture attached, Yao Guang work meal].”

He added at the end.

“It’s not as good as home.”

Jian Yao scrolled through them one by one.

When Gu Zhiyan said he would report his itinerary to her in the future, she thought he was joking.

She didn’t expect him to really report, and to report in such detail, he almost wanted to list out the timeline.

Especially when she saw him so brazenly sending her the company’s planning proposal, she couldn’t help but facepalm.

Is this something that can be casually shared with others?

Isn’t it a company secret?

When she saw him complaining about the company food being bad below, her heart stirred slightly.

Actually, Yao Guang’s benefits are very good, just looking at the picture Gu Zhiyan sent, the meat and vegetables are balanced, and the nutrition is balanced, it can’t be that bad.

But the chef makes a lot of food, sometimes the taste is a little lacking, it’s possible.

Lu Chengze never ate at the company cafeteria before, let alone Gu Zhiyan.

The ingredients he usually eats are produced by the Gu family’s own farm, delivered by a dedicated person every morning, with extremely high requirements for freshness.

Jian Yao rubbed her sore shoulders and replied to Gu Zhiyan.

“Actually, you don’t need to report it to me in such detail.”

After she sent it, she felt that this sentence couldn’t feel the tone through the screen, it was easy for people to misunderstand, so she added another sentence.

“What I mean is, you don’t need to send me your company’s documents, this kind of stuff is a business secret, it would be very troublesome if it leaked.”

Gu Zhiyan put down his chopsticks, stared at the message Jian Yao sent for two seconds, chuckled, picked up his phone and replied.

“Of course not for others, but you can.”

Jian Yao looked at Gu Zhiyan’s reply, a little confused.

“Why can I?”

This time, Gu Zhiyan replied almost instantly.

“Because when we’re together, you’re the boss of Yao Guang, and when we’re not together, according to the prenuptial agreement, the whole Yao Guang is yours.”

Jian Yao: …

Jian Yao never took that prenuptial agreement seriously.

She had seen many people online who had a strange desire to possess other people’s money, but this was the first time she had seen someone who wanted to stuff their own money into someone else’s pocket.

However, for Gu Zhiyan, money is probably just a string of numbers on his phone, it doesn’t matter if it’s longer or shorter.

Anyway, he can’t spend it all, he can’t spend it all…

Jian Yao looked at the phone screen, inexplicably feeling that Gu Zhiyan was a little… silly and cute.

At dinner time, Jian Yao specifically asked Wang Ma what Gu Zhiyan usually liked to eat, and told her not to come over to cook tomorrow at noon.

Fortunately, Gu Zhiyan’s taste is not picky, he likes to eat more home-style dishes.

It’s just that one dish needs to be stir-fried with caramel color, Jian Yao was afraid that she wouldn’t be able to fry it well, so she opened her phone to search for tutorials while eating.

As soon as she opened her phone, she saw Lu Shi on the hot search again.
