Chapter 1276 Fighting for favor
Chapter 1276 Fighting for favor
Cheng Huan was accustomed to using the subtle and euphemistic style of writing.
In just a few words, Lin Jiutian was misled into thinking that the other party had suddenly changed their mind.
As for things like bullying children and He Lingchuan supporting July, he naturally suppressed them all.
Cheng Huan looked at Lu Mingzhu provocatively.
This time, let's see how you win!
He was determined to win!
Lu Mingzhu remained calm and composed, as if her words had no effect whatsoever.
Seeing that she wasn't taking the bait, Lin Jiutian's shrewd eyes darted around, and he said with a smile, "I've already informed headquarters about this..."
In other words, you, Lu Mingzhu, want to complain? No way!
In this Asia-Pacific region, Lin Jiutian is the one who calls the shots!
Lin Jiutian: "I wonder what Miss Lu's opinion is?"
Lu Mingzhu smiled, her beautiful face radiant with a dazzling smile. She casually tossed her long hair behind her ear and said in a light, melodious voice, "Of course I have no objections."
"After all, positions... are always filled by the most capable."
Lu Mingzhu smiled gently, a faint smile playing on her lips: "Since you all say that many people think I'm not suitable, then I'd like to see just how unsuitable I really am."
Anyone familiar with Lu Mingzhu would know that she is deliberately being sarcastic.
However, Cheng Huan was unaware of this.
Cheng Huan thought Lu Mingzhu had given up in advance, and almost couldn't help but smile.
Cheng Huan sighed, "Wouldn't it have been better if you had done this sooner?"
I hope you don't end up losing face and having to resign.
Cheng Huan gloated, and the others weren't much better off.
A dark glint flashed in Lin Jiutian's eyes: "Then... I'll await good news."
Regardless of who wins or loses, Lin Jiutian will not lose out; the credit for this project will be attributed to him.
As for Lu Mingzhu...
If she were more obedient, Lin Jiutian wouldn't mind.
Xiao Liu looked at Lu Mingzhu with a slightly conflicted expression. These projects were all big projects. What would happen to Sister Mingzhu if they failed?
Even after the meeting ended, Xiao Liu was still struggling with her feelings.
After a long while, she caught up with Lu Mingzhu.
Xiao Liu'er: "Sister Mingzhu, do you know about the Lu Group and the He Group?"
Lu Mingzhu tilted her head and smiled: "Why don't you tell me?"
She really didn't know much about the Lu Group now.
Thinking of the girl who was with Madam Lu that day, Lu Mingzhu paused, her fingers still moving, and remained silent.
I wonder where that girl came from, whether she's good to Mrs. Lu, or if it's just familial affection or for money.
A hint of melancholy flickered across Lu Mingzhu's eyes.
Little Willow didn't notice, but she had already figured it out. Since Sister Mingzhu couldn't lose, she would do her best to help!
Tell Lu Mingzhu everything you know!
Xiao Liu'er: "Sister Mingzhu, when you first came here, I said that you have the same name as the sister of the Lu Group, so it's this company."
Lu Mingzhu smiled but didn't say anything.
Xiao Liu continued speaking to herself: "The Lu Group is currently managed by President Lu Shenxing and Mrs. Lu Mingyi. However, if you go there, it's best not to say your real name."
Lu Mingzhu paused, "Why?"
Xiao Liu'er: "The matter of the young lady from the Lu family caused a huge uproar back then. The Lu family still hasn't gotten over it. Because the body hasn't been found, the Lu family unilaterally declared her missing and refuses to accept the claim that she was dead after three years of being missing."
"Moreover, the Lu family is very protective of their own, so now almost no one dares to mention the former eldest daughter of the Lu family in front of them. Also, in the past, many people have impersonated the eldest daughter of the Lu family, or claimed to have clues about her, etc., to swindle money. Anyway... don't get into trouble."
Lu Mingzhu was lost in thought, wondering if her mother and older brother and sister-in-law were very sad when they found out that the news was fake.
It's her fault.
Although she didn't regret having such a lovely baby as Niannian, Lu Mingzhu also didn't want her family to be sad and heartbroken for her.
Her choices were different from her mother's.
She also knew that her family was doing it for her own good.
Lu Mingzhu murmured silently in her heart, "I'm sorry."
It's all her fault...
Xiao Liu'er said, "The He Group is a bit complicated. It used to be run by the old man, but he was hospitalized recently. His grandson came back from abroad and took over the company. However, the family members seem very dissatisfied and are still fighting over it. So before you go, you should investigate who has more say before considering who to cooperate with."
Lu Mingzhu smiled, "Little Liu'er has really gone to great lengths."
Lu Mingzhu: "Okay, I'll check it out now. Thank you for telling me all this."
Xiao Liu smiled sweetly and quickly waved her hand: "It's okay, Sister Mingzhu, you must keep going! You are my idol!"
Xiao Liu whispered the last sentence, and her face turned red with embarrassment as she finished speaking. She quickly ran away amidst laughter.
Although it may be an exaggeration to say that, Xiao Liu'er really learned a lot from Lu Mingzhu's way of dealing with people.
Moreover, as long as Sister Mingzhu is around, Cheng Huan's faction will not dare to act recklessly!
He dared not lay a hand on her again!
This kind of life is so good...
Lu Mingzhu returned to her office to study project materials. On the way, she thought of Niannian and sent a message to Niannian's smartwatch: "Baby, did you have fun?"
Niannian was super happy and sent over a group photo: 【Super, super happy!】
In the background, Niannian is with two people, but only their hands are visible; their faces and bodies are not shown.
The one next to him is Zhan Jujian, but Lu Mingzhu can recognize him.
But there's one more...
It looks like a boy, probably in his teens. His hands look like an adult's.
Uh, could it be that Zhan Jujian is playing with Niannian and other children?
Perhaps this child is a special needs child!
Lu Mingzhu didn't think much of it.
After all, Nian Nian and the others went to an amusement park.
Let's ask Niannian when she gets home!
at the same time.
the other side.
Zhan Jujian took Niannian for a walk, but Niannian was too young and soon ran out of energy.
Zhan Jujian let her take a nap before taking her to a place similar to a children's palace, where there were many playmates. Unexpectedly, they happened to catch some kind of event.
They said it was some kind of master like Ji Qihuang, and they finally managed to get him to give a lecture.
Many people here brought their children and listened with great interest.
Zhan Jujian originally thought that Niannian would definitely find it boring and run away, but he didn't expect that Niannian would catch a little boy before she ran away.
Niannian: "It's you, brother!"
Lu Yimo raised an eyebrow: "Little one, are you here to listen to the lesson?"
Nian Nian shook her head honestly: "I don't understand! I don't want to listen!"
Lu Yimo burst out laughing.
This child looks quite adorable. Not long after Mu Xiaowan got married, she kept asking Lu Yimo and Lu Yibai whether they wanted a younger brother or sister in the future.
Seven-year-old Lu Yibai and Lu Yimo shook their heads: Godmother, you choose for yourself.
Mu Xiaowan: ...
She's right, Song Xiaoyi's two little devils are just too precocious!
This question is just like asking "Do you love your dad or your mom more?" It's just teasing the kids!
At that time, Lu Yimo had no interest in her younger siblings at all.
But now that I see Niannian is such a small child, I suddenly feel that having a little sister wouldn't be bad.
Pretty good.
Niannian blinked her adorable big eyes and held hands, saying, "Brother, will you play with me? I miss you so much!"
It's fine to either side.
Lu Yimo and Lu Yibai accompanied Ji Qihuang today, fearing that something might happen to the old man.
Now that Lu Yibai is here, he can slip away.
Without saying a word, he patted Niannian's head and said, "Okay."
Lu Yimo was about to leave with Niannian when he noticed a handsome blond-haired, blue-eyed foreigner standing nearby.
She was looking at him with a slightly unfriendly expression.
Niannian introduced, "Ju Jian's dad, this is the older brother who helped me last time."
"Brother, this is my father, Ju Jian."
Lu Yimo understood; this must be Nian Nian's biological father.
I never expected the person restocking would be a foreigner.
But Niannian doesn't look like she's mixed race; she's a pure Chinese baby.
Lu Yimo didn't think too much about it and simply greeted Zhan Jujian politely.
Next came Zhan Jujian's moment of vulnerability.
Niannian has a new playmate and has completely forgotten about him!
He had originally planned to strengthen his relationship with his daughter.
This is just great.
I'm sitting here watching the two kids.
Zhan Jujian harbored resentment.
Lu Yimo played with building blocks and Rubik's Cubes with Niannian. Lu Mingzhu sent a message casually, and Niannian took a picture and sent it.
Lu Yimo was bending over, head down, carefully making the little house that Nian Nian wanted. Just then, he bent down slightly, and the necklace on his chest dangled out from under his shirt.
Niannian asked curiously, "Brother, what is this?"
Lu Yimo looked up and realized that Niannian was talking about the necklace.
"Oh, this..."
Lu Yimo paused for a moment before taking out the necklace with a touch of nostalgia.
“This was given to me by my aunt when I was a child.” Lu Yimo’s eyes held a hint of nostalgia.
He was quite old when Lu Mingzhu had her accident, and he remembered many things very clearly.
This necklace is the same style as the one Song Mingyi used to wear, and there's a small photo that can fit in the middle.
Niannian tilted her head curiously: "What's an aunt?"
Lu Yimo smiled and said, "She's my father's sister."
He patiently explained, "When I was little, my mother and I got separated. My mother kept looking for us, so she wore this same necklace with a picture of my brother and me on it."
"But what we didn't know was that our father's newlywed wife was our biological mother. It took us a long time to learn about our origins. It turns out that the person we had been searching for all along was right beside us."
Niannian: "Oh..."
I don't quite understand.
She often heard her mother crying secretly when she was abroad.
A mother also has her own mother.
She misses home.
Niannian thought, "Hmm... should she also try her best to help her mother find her family?"
Oh, right, Mom took her to Grandma's house!
But for some reason, my mother said later that she wouldn't go.
Did Grandma hurt her feelings?
Niannian's little head was full of big questions.
Should she go to her grandmother and ask her what happened?
Niannian looked at Lu Yimo with a mixture of curiosity and confusion.
Lu Yimo: "After we reunited with our mother, my aunt had someone make this exact same necklace and gave it to us as a keepsake."
Niannian asked curiously, "Are there photos of your family in here?"
Lu Yimo smiled: "It belongs to my aunt."
Nian Nian was bewildered: "Why?"
Didn't the older brother say it was Mom's? Oh dear, I don't understand!
Lu Yimo: "My aunt disappeared five years ago and has not been found to this day."
Niannian paused, then earnestly patted Lu Yimo with her little paws: "Brother, don't cry. My mommy said that all families in this world will eventually reunite, and you will definitely find your aunt. It's true!"
Lu Yimo smiled and patted Niannian's head: "Thank you for your kind words."
Zhan Jujian was about to amaze Nian Nian across the land and win back her attention. He listened absentmindedly and suddenly realized that he and Lu Mingzhu had also met three years ago.
Five years ago... that was when Lu Mingzhu went abroad.
Well, got it.
He's going to celebrate Mingzhu's five-year anniversary!
Not bad.
Zhan Jujian was very satisfied with his decision.
Niannian was still very curious, probably because children are still in a stage where they are curious about everything. So she asked, "Brother, can I see a picture of your aunt? I've lived abroad for so long, maybe I've seen her!"
Lu Yimo smiled and did not reject Niannian's good intentions.
He took out the necklace, opened it, and handed it to Niannian: "Look."
Nian Nian looked puzzled: "Brother..."
Lu Yimo: "What's wrong?"
Niannian: "It's empty inside!"
Lu Yimo paused, then quickly looked over, and sure enough, it was empty!
Did you leave the photos at home?
Lu Yimo then remembered that he had taken a shower yesterday: "Let me go back and look for it, I'll show it to you next time!"
The above should have been a photo of the two brothers with Lu Mingzhu when they were five years old.
Nian Nian nodded: "Okay!"
Since there were no new or exciting things to do, Nian Nian started having random thoughts.
Niannian: "Brother, if there's someone you really want to see but refuse to go see, why is that?"
Lu Yimo: ?
Do kids these days think in such profound and mysterious ways?
Five years old?
Lu Yimo: "Is there some misunderstanding? Or is that person afraid to see you?"
Niannian: "Oh..."
The adult world is so hard, I don't understand!
She should go find her grandmother!
In any case, she would investigate for her mother to see if her grandmother was as good as the rumors said!
If he's a good person, maybe it's just a misunderstanding, as my brother said!
She has a mother, and she feels very happy to have a mom.
So, Niannian also wants a mommy and wants to find her mommy!
Nian Nian finished his reasoning with satisfaction.
Okay, it's decided. I'll sneak out in the next few days! To find Grandma!
Sigh, pat your chest, and bravely face the challenges!
Mommy's happiness and joy depend on her!
Lu Yimo looked at Niannian's ever-changing expression with a puzzled look, shook his head and chuckled. Kids these days are quite imaginative.
Before leaving, he casually braided a flower wreath for Niannian, using a technique that Lu Mingzhu had taught him. He had just finished braiding it when Ji Qihuang was about to leave, so Lu Yimo also bid farewell to Niannian and her father.
Zhan Jujian was overjoyed to have finally completed his big project: "Nian Nian, my darling, look!"
Niannian: "Huh?"
Just as he was about to look up, a child, laughing and playing, bumped into him, and with a thud, Zhan Jujian's masterpiece collapsed.
Zhan Jujian's face also fell.
The mafia members in the shadows were enraged: "Execute that little boy! Execute him!!!"
“I watched the eldest brother build it, this little boy is awful! I must enforce the law!”
"Calm down, buddy, calm down. This is China. That kid didn't do it on purpose. He doesn't deserve this!"
