Chapter 21 - … (1)
In the gathering darkness of evening, Lu Shaoren finally returned home from work .
Old Master Lu had called him at 11 AM to tell him that Lu Beichuan had woken up . He had been caught completely off guard by the sudden unexpected news .
As Old Master Lu's only son, Lu Shaoren had lived an unsatisfactory life in the Lu Family . When he was young, the person in power wasn't willing to give up his authority, and he had a father that didn't trust him . He held an empty title of Vice Director in the company .
During those years, Lu Shaoren had lived uncomfortably . Whenever he suggested an investment idea and associated plan for it, it was always rejected . In his social circle, he had been a laughingstock for many years .
After enduring this for a long time, his father finally retired . However, Old Master Lu had chosen to promote the promising youth, Lu Beichuan, to a position of power .
On the day that Lu Beichuan was ushered into his new position, the grievances that Lu Shaoren had silently endured for many years suddenly erupted .
Lu Shaoren clearly understood that with Lu Beichuan's abilities, he would never have another opportunity to advance as long as his son was around .
He had plenty of sons, but there was only one Lu Family .
It was regrettable that the car accident hadn't been able to get rid of Lu Beichuan, but a comatose Lu Beichuan wasn't a threat to him . Since that time, Lu Shaoren had been thoroughly free of worries .
However, he would have never expected that Lu Beichuan would wake up one day!
Lu Shaoren accelerated the transfer of assets . After busily toiling away for long hours at the company, he finally returned home .
In the dining room, Lu Beichuan was sitting in a wheelchair . Ye Zhen had pushed the wheelchair over here until he was facing the dining table .
Old Master Lu had been waiting in the head seat for a while . It was inevitable that his face would show unhappiness when he saw Lu Shaoren coming here late . "I called you before noon and told you to come home early today . Why did you only return home now?"
"I was busy at work, so I came home late . " Lu Shaoren took off his coat and handed it off to a servant that was standing by the side . He sat down next to Old Master Lu and looked at Lu Beichuan, who was across the table . In a solemn voice, he said, "You finally woke up . Work on getting better first . Everything else can be discussed later . "
Lu Beichuan nodded . His attitude was neither cold nor mild . "I understand . "
The relationship between this father and son par had always been like this . Everyone here was already used to it .
With a happy face, Mother Lu kept adding food to Lu Beichuan's bowl and urging him, "You just woke up . Eat light foods . It'll be better for your body . "
On the side, Old Master Lu said, "I've asked the doctor . Although Beichuan can't stand up right now, he's more than able to deal with the company's affairs . If you can't handle the work, you can share some of the burden with Beichuan . "
Lu Shaoren was silent for a while before saying in a low voice, "Beichuan should work on getting better for now . Let's talk about this after he's recovered . "
Old Master Lu's intentions were too obvious . He would rather a handicapped person be in charge than hand the Lu Family's company to him!
"Oh, about that profile you gave me a few days ago, I found that person . " Lu Shaoren was talking about the profile of Lin Zhan that Old Master Lu had previously given him .
He had investigated the matter . In his group of illegitimate offspring, Lin Zhan could be considered the most capable one . He was sure that Old Master Lu had also investigate this matter too .
Lu Shaoren had gained new understanding . As long as Lu Beichuan wasn't dead, he would be returning to the company . However, if a new potential successor appeared and that person was as capable of Lu Beichuan and had a sound body, how would Old Master Lu choose?
Sure enough, Old Master Lu paused after hearing Lu Shaoren's words . In no time at all, this astute and circumspect person calculated the pros and cons .
"Let's talk about this matter later . "
By not vetoing on the spot, it indicated that Old Master Lu was tempted .
Although he had no confidence in controlling Lu Beichuan, how hard could it be to control a wet behind the ears youngster?
