“He has a will!” the director said with a sigh. “Third Young Master, this is not a personal dispute. The interests of the group are the most important. The recent turmoil has caused many projects to halt, resulting in heavy losses for the group, and we have suffered greatly as well.”

“So what?” Lu Zhiyuan shrugged arrogantly. “I have money, I can afford the losses!”

His wolf head necklace was displayed proudly on his chest, exuding dominance, just like himself.

Several shareholders were furious.

“Third Young Master, you don’t understand business. If you are entrusted with such a large company like Lu Corporation, how can you guarantee its operations?”

“Hire a manager!” Lu Zhiyuan said indifferently. “I have a candidate in mind, no need to worry.”

“Third Young Master, if you continue like this, no one will be able to bear the consequences. We can’t afford any more losses.”

“Third Young Master, the eldest young master has been working in the group for a long time and has outstanding abilities. It was your father’s wish for him to take over the Lu Family’s business empire. Why don’t you have a frank discussion with the eldest young master? After all, you are brothers. There’s no need to bring this to court.”

Lu Zhiyuan’s brows furrowed with a touch of frost, emanating an oppressive aura when angered. The faces of the directors turned embarrassed, and they felt a hint of fear. They couldn’t understand why they were afraid of Lu Zhiyuan.

He was just a race car driver!

“I understand,” Lu Zhiyuan nodded knowingly. “All of you uncles and my father worked together for many years, and the relationship was good, right? If the relationship is really good, you should know what my father’s intentions were. If you truly believe that there’s nothing wrong with the will, then you wouldn’t need to act as mediators. In the end, you’re afraid of your own interests being affected. What does relationship matter? It’s not worth mentioning. My wallet has shrunk, and that’s the top priority.”

Several people were mocked by Lu Zhiyuan, their faces turning red and white. They were all big shots in the investment industry and had seen a lot. They would give some face to anyone they met.

It was the first time they encountered such an arrogant Lu Zhiyuan.

He spoke candidly.

On the other hand, Lu Shijie was courteous and respectful to them.

Lu Zhiyuan scanned them with his eyes. “I will fight this lawsuit to the end. Since all of you uncles are afraid of losing money, you can transfer your shares to me at double the price. I will acquire them.”

He sipped his tea with an arrogant and domineering attitude, as if he was an extravagant fool, exuding an air of superiority. The shareholders were so angered that their hearts were about to give out.

Lu Corporation was a rare high-quality company. In the ups and downs of the stock market for decades, it had experienced several stock market crashes, but it always withstood the pressure and continuously increased its value. No one was willing to give up their chips.

“Third Young Master, besides racing, what else do you know? Do you understand how to run a company? Do you know about the company’s personnel structure? Can you negotiate business deals with such an attitude? Can you succeed in business?” They were also getting angry and displeased. “Your elder brother has been managing the company for many years. He understands Lu Corporation better and knows how to run it.”

Lu Zhiyuan felt insulted, and his desire to win or lose surged.

“Get lost!” Lu Zhiyuan’s temper flared up. He wasn’t as patient as Third Master. “I have made up my mind about this lawsuit, and no one can persuade me otherwise.”

“Third Young Master, don’t regret it!”

The shareholders made harsh remarks and left angrily. Gu Ci, who had been watching the whole scene, felt a bit sorry for these uncles and relatives. “Businessmen pursue profit, it’s human nature.”

Lu Zhiyuan sneered. “Lu Corporation has never lacked investments. Every time my father had good news, he would share it with his brothers. Gradually, they accumulated a good hand. Over the years, they made a lot of money, but they forgot about any gratitude toward the old man. They even called me a fool. Why should I give them face?”

Li Jiang secretly thought, Third Young Master, you really don’t know anything except racing.

Gu Ci tried to comfort him. “Do you have any plans?”

“The court proceedings are slow, what does it have to do with me?” Lu Zhiyuan shrugged. “I’ll wait for the court summons and the trial.”

Gu Ci reminded him, “The temporary shareholders’ meeting is the day after tomorrow.”

“I have a plan in mind, don’t worry.”

Seeing his determined appearance, Gu Ci looked at Li Jiang. Li Jiang smiled discreetly and said, “Miss Gu Ci, Third Young Master will handle it.”

Gu Ci understood immediately. That look in Li Jiang’s eyes, like needles piercing Lu Zhiyuan’s heart, was both sour and dangerous. “Gu Ci, do you also think I’m a fool?”

“World champion, the one and only, the strongest on the surface. Who would dare say you’re a fool?” Gu Ci spoke sincerely, offering flattery. “I won’t allow you to belittle yourself like that!”

Lu Zhiyuan was speechless.

For a moment, he couldn’t tell if Gu Ci was being sincere or sarcastic.

Gu Ziyu was sitting beside them, doing his homework and smiling. “It’s my birthday next month, I’ll be seven years old, and I have two doctorate degrees.”

Lu Zhiyuan was speechless.

He felt like the little brat was mocking him.

Gu Ci originally wanted to talk to Third Master, but Third Master had been in a strange mood lately and hadn’t seen her. Gu Ci played her trump card and made his favorite braised pork.

After eating the braised pork, she received a comment that there was too much sugar.

Li Jiang had a bitter face. “Miss Gu Ci, I’m just a messenger. Don’t make things difficult for me.”

Gu Ci had consulted with Doctor North. Lu Ze’s condition was unstable, and he couldn’t wake up on Monday. Gu Ci was afraid that Lu Zhiyuan would suffer at the shareholders’ meeting, so she found Jiang Junlin.

Seeing him for the first time, she was startled. Well-dressed, dignified, and handsome, Jiang Junlin had lost weight and looked a bit haggard. Gu Ci was shocked. “Brother, 1 haven’t seen you in just a week, and you… Do you have cancer?”

Why did he look so haggard? Suddenly so thin!

Jiang Junlin looked at her silently. “You’re really a good sister.”

Gu Ci pursed her lips, pretending to be obedient. “I’m sorry, I was wrong.”

Jiang Junlin rubbed his forehead. “I went on a business trip to Africa, didn’t sleep well… didn’t eat well.”

“Oh, 1 understand!” Gu Ci knew what was going on. Not eating well was the key. Jiang Junlin was a picky eater. He could list two sheets of things he didn’t eat. Going on a trip to Xinjiang could make him lose ten kilograms.

He didn’t eat lamb or pork, he only ate boiled chicken, and beef cooked too roughly was also off-limits. He didn’t touch raw seafood, and even cooked food had to be prepared in a specific way. He avoided most vegetables except leafy greens. He didn’t eat soy products, only specific brands of dairy products, no noodles, and he had never had buns, pan-fried dumplings, or jiaozi.

Before the age of ten, Lin Chunli was so worried about his pickiness that she almost lost all her hair. She used various means of coercion and enticement, and under pressure, Jiang Junlin could still compromise.

But when he entered junior high school, he became even more picky.

Therefore, it wasn’t easy to arrange a meal with President Jiang of Hualan Bank. His assistants couldn’t handle it, and each assistant couldn’t stay long. They would forget about President Jiang’s pickiness and step on a landmine and get fired.

Going to Africa, of course, it wouldn’t be easy.

Today, she had made an appointment at one of the restaurants Jiang Junlin frequented.

“Brother, as a doctor, I’m really curious.” Gu Ci asked a soul-searching question.. “Are you really not malnourished?”
