Chapter 1117: Chapter 1027: Investigating Personally
Lu Qing knew very well what was going on in his heart, and also knew that Lu Xing had many tricks up his sleeve, not as simple as they seemed. He carefully thought over many things and finally confirmed that Lu Xing was secretly wooing former employees of the company. Besides, his ambitions were not small, even extending his influence to other shareholders.
"Mr. Lu, here’s the trend analysis chart you requested."
The secretary handed the information she had gathered directly to Nanli Palace. She watched with her own eyes as he reviewed the trend chart, his expression changing from calm to thoughtful, all within just two or three seconds.
"Has it gone through anyone else’s hands?"
"No, I investigated it myself."
Lu Qing found the secretary’s personal investigation to be highly credible. Although the trend chart didn’t reveal much of note, it caused him to develop some degree of caution. He contemplated seriously, realizing that some matters indeed required time, and things seemed slightly more optimistic than he had anticipated.
"What is Lu Xing doing?"
The secretary thought for a moment and said, "When I left, Manager Lu was holding a meeting with his subordinates."
"What is the focus of the meeting?"
"The focus is on the profitability and business expansion for this quarter."
Lu Qing contemplated carefully: He never expected Lu Xing to imitate his meeting practices and focus. Could it be that Lu Xing really believes that by bearing the Lu name, it makes him a member of the Lu Family? I haven’t recognized him yet; his self-awareness and subconscious ambition have inflated on their own, truly absurd.
"Leave."
"Yes."
Lu Qing wanted some peace to think through matters.
Since Lu Xing now genuinely believes he has secured his footing in the company, Lu Qing decided to let him continue believing his position was growing more secure, waiting to see if he would eventually reveal a flaw.
"I do nothing but watch your actions, not knowing if you have any chance of winning in the end. Lu Xing, if you learn everything from your father, chances are you’ll learn nothing of use."
Until now, Lu Qing could not forgive his father, so he was particularly mindful of many matters. Regardless of his thoughts, every time he remembered visiting the grave during the Qingming Festival, he would feel particularly distressed.
"Mom, rest assured, no one can take away your rightful place. Since that man betrayed you, I cannot punish him, but I can certainly punish his son."
Lu Qing murmured to himself, feeling more and more upset as he thought of Lu Xing’s position, suddenly falling silent.
Lu Xing’s eyes never left the report in front of him, carefully scrutinizing every number on it. His heart was still quite shaken. He thought his actions were cautious enough, but things seemed somewhat unsatisfactory. Seriously considering that Lu Qing might have sensed something, he came up with some different ideas.
"It seems I need to consult Father’s opinion on this matter."
Lu Xing quickly contacted his father, saying that the plan he had previously proposed was now being implemented, but Lu Qing might have noticed something. The more he thought about it, the more it felt unsettling. Finally, after hearing his father’s comforting words, he felt somewhat reassured.
"I understand. I’ll contact President Zheng immediately."
The President Zheng Lu Xing referred to is the largest of all the minor shareholders, and sometimes Lu Qing paid heed to his opinions. Therefore, Lu Xing’s father was eager to win him over, having promised numerous benefits, which had long tempted him.
