In the dark wall office of Lu Corps. Lu Tian frowns as he looks at the black screen on his phone. He couldn’t remain patient anymore. He unlocks his phone screen and sends a text.
He’s been waiting and waiting. Everything that he had been receiving on his phone was either work related or from his family. He didn’t answer any of those calls because he was worried he’d miss his wife’s call but.... not once did his wife call or send him a text.
Looking at the time, he sighs. It was time for one of his boring meetings. Standing up from his chair, he buttons his suit jacket with his left hand and walks out of his office.
Seeing his boss leaving, Xu Long also leaves his desk and runs after his boss. He held countless documents and folders in his hands.
"Boss! Wait for me too! Don’t leave me behind! Aiyah! Boss... oss—"
However, he frown when he saw his boss’s bandage right hand. He couldn’t help but let his mind wonder.
’Did boss hurt himself during the unauthorized black operation? Or.... did he make the lady boss angry?’
Inside the conference room, Lu Tian was seated in the main center seat. On both sides of the long glossy black table were Lu Corps’ board of directors. Each one dare not to look at their cold and ruthless boss.
To them, every meeting had always been scary. No one dares to speak unless spoken to. Despite some of them being older than Lu Tian.
In their eyes, Lu Tian was like a god, but behind that handsome and perfect appearance was no different than King Yama.
Lu Tian scan the room with his dark eyes, then he looks at the wall clock; 10:00am. He needs to finish this meeting quick, before his wife gets here. Not only that, he still doesn’t know where to take her to eat.... He’s never been in a relationship, so... what is he supposed to do? He took her to dinner, but....
Thinking till there, he decided, he’ll let Yue Ling pick where they should eat for lunch. It’ll give him an idea of what she likes to eat.
Ending his thoughts, he looks back at the board of directors, his appearance remained the same. It was as if the man now, was not just thinking about a woman.
"It seems, when I returned from Korea, my words were not clear enough."
His words were like dark clouds had suddenly roamed inside and the temperature dropped. Even if he was speaking calmly, his words sent chills to each board of director’s hearts.
"CEO Lu, as a member of the board of directors and shareholder of Lu Corps. I recommend you as the CEO of Lu Corps reconsider the new contract with TB Corps."
Lu Tian glance to the middle aged man who just spoke, "Why do you propose I reconsider?"
The man heaved a sigh in relief inside. He clears his throat and straighten his posture in his chair.
"In the new contract, CEO Ning stated an increase of the shares to TB Corps. He also will be a shareholder at Lu Corps. If we can keep the contract from voiding, TB Corps’ shipping docks will be of great aspect to Lu Corps."
Another member of the board of directors follows after, "I agree with Director Qian. If we keep this new contract, it will be of great benefit to Lu Corps."
"CEO Lu, we cannot terminate the contract with TB Corps. It’ll cost too much loss for Lu Corps."
"Yes, I agree, especially now that the year is ending. If we end the contract, Lu Corps will fall from the chart."
"I disagree. TB Corps has always been under Lu Corps. This new contract is only so they can climb up in the business industry."
"That’s right, this new contract is their way to overthrow Lu Corps. I disagree in accepting this new contract."
Soon, the discussion amongst the board of directors turned into an argument. Some agrees to terminate the contract with TB Corps, while some wants to accept it.
As their argument continue, Lu Tian remained quiet. He looked at all the faces of the people inside the room. Ever since he took over the position of CEO, he knew who truly supported him and who was scheming against him.
Was he the type of person to let everything go? Of course not, if he wants to make something clear, he will do it.
"Those who are against my decision, is that really how you see?" He paused to look at the men, then he continue, "Or is there a hidden agenda?"
His cold and deep voice silenced the conference room. Everyone held in their breaths and no one made a sound.
"I am the CEO of Lu Corps, those who find my decision wrong, you can turn in your resignation letter after this meeting. I have no use for those who oppose my decisions."
Lu Tian spoke as if he was having a normal conversation drinking tea. His dark eyes scan all the men who disagreed with his decision. Until his eyes land on Director Qian.
"I’m sure, CEO Ning will double your salary."
Director Qian swallow no saliva as cold sweat form on his forehead. He lower his head nervously, avoiding any eye contact with the other members who were on his side. He never liked Lu Tian, but for now, he must bare everything patiently.
He forced a smile and chuckles, "If CEO Lu has decided to terminate the contract, this subordinate will agree."
As the room continued into a different topic, Xu Long who was quietly standing behind Lu Tian, clench his fists tightly. His eyes glaring murderously at Qian Chi Xue.
Xu Long had done a thorough investigation on the man and his evil vixen daughter, Qian Li Li. He found disgusting things about the father and daughter duo. All they want is wealth and power, nothing else. Also, they’d do anything to climb up the latter.
The only reason Xu Long hasn’t done anything is because his Boss is letting the duo enjoy their remaining days before their life crumbles.
