Everyone looked at Lu Hongyong silently.

Lu Hongyong clenched his fists, took out his cell phone, and made a call.

“Butler, bring a chair to the meeting room.”

Lu Gan said calmly, “I thought my idea was pretty good.”

Lu Hongyong looked at his son. After a long while, he turned to Song Ci.

“Do you think so too?”

Song Ci was unhappy that Lu Hongyong had held the meeting upstairs. The Lu family did not care about Lu Gan. So, she smiled and said, “I agree. Don’t trouble yourself because of me. As your daughter-in-law, I should respect you. We’re all family. There’s no need to be courteous. Regardless, just do as you please.”

After saying that, she even deliberately looked at Lu Gan and added, “Look, father-in-law is so polite.”

Lu Hongyong gave her a fake smile. This woman made him speechless.

Lu Gan chuckled and held Song Ci’s hand. Then, he looked at his father and said, “Didn’t you say that we have something to discuss? We should hop on to the main topic. Don’t waste my time.”

Lu Hongyong could not help but grit his teeth.

Lu Jie’s father, Lu Hongchang, urged him impatiently, “Big brother, let’s get down to business.”

Lu Jingjing chimed in, “That’s right. Uncle, let’s not get distracted.”

Lu Hongyong took a few deep breaths and said, “I’ve received Lu Gan’s resignation letter. At present, the position of general manager in our family’s company is vacant. This meeting is to discuss who should take over.”

Lu Suying, who had previously discussed with Lu Hongchang, immediately said, “Lu Jie has worked hard in the company for many years. I think he’s a suitable candidate.”

Lu Suying’s son, daughter, and son-in-law agreed.

“Besides, Lu Jie is the oldest. We’re not qualified in terms of seniority.”

Lu Hongju twirled the sandalwood bracelet in his hand and said with a sullen face, “I think it’s better to hire a professional manager.”

“Lu Hongju, are you saying that Lu Jie is not qualified?”

Lu Hongchang asked as he turned to look at him.

Lu Hongju smiled and said, “I’m just thinking in the company’s best interest.”

“Who isn’t? That’s why our family members should be the general manager, not some outsider. In the future, are we replacing everyone with foreigners?”

Lu Hongchang and Lu Hongju started quarreling. Lu Jingjing and Lu Suying’s voices were also mixed in.

Song Ci was amused. Suddenly, Lu Gan pinched her hand.

He smiled and said, “Are you enjoying yourself?”

“It’s not bad,”

Song Ci commented.

In Lu Gan’s eyes, this was all just a farce.

Out of nowhere, Lu Hongju asked, “Lu Gan, what’s your opinion? Do you think Lu Jie is suitable?”

Lu Gan looked at his third uncle, then at Lu Jie. He was very nervous, but he pretended to be calm.

“I don’t care.”

“Pa!”

Lu Hongju put down the bracelet in his hand. He was very disappointed in Lu Gan. “How can you say that? Lu Heng had always wanted you to take over! You’re only crippled physically, not mentally!”

Lu Gan sneered, “Third uncle, maybe you should ask someone to break your legs. After that, come back and tell me about your mentality!”

Lu Hongju’s face turned gloomy. He did not say anything else.

Lu Gan looked at everyone mockingly.

“Talk is cheap. None of you will understand my feelings. In your eyes, I’m just a cripple. So why are you guys so bothered with me?”

Everyone silently lowered their heads.

It seemed like Lu Gan had really lost his fighting spirit.

Lu Jie pretended to be a good person and said, “Second brother is right. Some people talk as if they understand others’ struggles.”

Lu Hongju chuckled and crossed his fingers.

“Lu Jie, why don’t you be direct? What do you mean by some people?”

Lu Hongyong knocked on the table and said coldly, “Alright, let’s take a vote. Raise your hand if you think Lu Jie should be the general manager.”

More than half of the people raised their hands.

Lu Hongyong nodded.

“Then it’s decided.”

Lu Jie smiled and said, “I’ll do my best for the Lu family.”

Lu Hongju sneered and got up. He was about to leave, but Lu Hongyong stopped him.

“Sit.”

Lu Hongju reluctantly sat back down.
