Even though he had won, Lu Shengyao was not delighted at all.He had studied chess since he was young. Apart from his Big Brother, there was one other person he had never won against, and had lost miserably to everytime they played.It was his grandfather, Old General Shen.Hence, he could sense if his opponent was strong or weak.In the beginning, Old Chen was composed in his strategy. He had a plan for every move.However, as the game continued, everything went differently. He had begun to move his pieces around carelessly, shifting them all over the board. He was even so anxious to put him in check that he made the amateur mistake of sending all his pieces over to the other side.It looked like Old Chen had not used any strategy. However, it was only when he won that Lu Shengyao realized that Old Chen had... purposefully lost to him."You won." Old Chen smiled before raising his head to look at Tang Ruochu. "I will attend the meeting tomorrow."Tang Ruochu smiled brilliantly
"Oh?" Lu Shengyao raised his brows as amusement appeared in his eyes. "Are you afraid that I will find other women?"Ying Xiaoxiao's smile froze on her face, but she recovered soon enough. Laughing loudly, she patted his shoulder. "Lu Shengyao, you have such a good imagination! You should be a screenwriter."As she was patting with force, Lu Shengyao frowned in pain. He moved her hand away and complained, "Ying Xiaoxiao, can you talk to me properly and stop hitting me!"Ying Xiaoxiao's hand froze in mid-air. She saw that he was upset, so she retracted her hand and replied, "I am sorry. I got too excited."Afterward, she asked, "How about it? Don't you want to ask me out tomorrow?"Lu Shengyao caressed his shoulder, which was still in pain, and replied impatiently. "I will fetch you at 9 am tomorrow. Please remember to dress up.""I need to dress up?" Ying Xiaoxiao rubbed her chin in confusion before her eyes lit up. Was he going to...She raised her head and was about to ask him
After all, everyone knew about the conflicts between the two sisters. The two of them were arch-enemies, and none of the shareholders wanted to be involved in their fight.After a long while, Gu Ruoruo spoke, "Since everyone is here, let's begin the meeting."Everyone wore a solemn expression, for this was a meeting that would determine the Tang Group's future.Gu Ruoruo glanced at those sitting down before pushing her document forward. "This is the document certifying the transfer of shares from my father to me. Please take a look."Everyone started reading the alleged share transfer agreement.The shareholders had worked with Tang Song for many years, and naturally they were familiar with his handwriting and signature. Most of them agreed on the validity of the document.However, when they passed the document to Old Chen, he stared so intensely at the signature that the others grew impatient."Old Chen, it's real. Stop staring.""Right, you are wasting our time.""I know Tan
The meeting went smoothly, just as Gu Ruoruo had expected. Shareholders on her side recommended her as the chairman of the Tang Group. Shareholders on the other side recommended Tang Ruochu for the position.Therefore, the two sides got into an argument. Neither side was willing to compromise, and the atmosphere had become very awkward.It was time for Gu Ruoruo to act.She stood up, looking quite confident, as if she had everything under control."Though I'm not my father's biological daughter, he's treated me as if I was. And, I also see him as my real father. This time, he has been struck by illness, and I have the responsibility to carry Tang Group forward for my dad."She was faking it!Tang Ruochu snorted and looked at Gu Ruoruo with eyes full of mockery.How could someone say things so fake but still look so... innocent?Those not in the know would definitely think she was that loyal to her father."I believe that I could make Tang Group even better than it is now!" sai
It was very mean to call Gu Ruoruo a pet and accuse her of riding her mother's coattails. Gu Ruoruo got so angry that her body was shaking. She pointed at Tang Ruochu but could say nothing. She could only keep muttering "you... you..."Tang Ruochu smiled at her and ignored her. She handed a pile of files to Old Chen. "Uncle Chen, help me pass these out."Her hands gently tapped on the table until all the files had been passed out. She bit her lip and said, "This is a proposal for the future development of the Tang Group. Take a look."The shareholders looked at each other and then opened the file. Whether they stood on Gu Ruoruo's or Tang Ruochu's side, they all read carefully.After all, this was about the Tang Group and about their own benefit. Therefore, they did not dare to take it lightly.Gu Ruoruo also got a file. However, she did not even look at it. She slapped it on the table and snapped, "Tang Ruochu, what are you doing now? Buying time or struggling at the very last mi
In the morning that day, Tang Ruochu and Lu Shijin were having breakfast. Suddenly, Lu Shijin had taken out a flash drive and placed it before her.Tang Ruochu looked at the black flash drive and looked up at him in doubt. "What is this?""A video."Lu Shijin had said lightly."A video?" Tang Ruochu frowned and picked up the flash drive to observe it. Then, she looked up at him again. "What video?""I recorded it. It might help you with the shareholders' meeting today."Hearing that, Tang Ruochu raised an eyebrow and asked tentatively, "Is it a video where you personally agree to cooperate with Tang Group?"Lu Shijin slightly raised his dashing brow, a trace of appraisal for her flashing through his eyes. "Just as you think. It indeed is the evidence."Honestly, back then, Tang Ruochu had thought Shijin was being overcautious to record a video.Nevertheless, now, she found he had really planned ahead. He had put a little more thought into her plan and also greatly helped her.
At this outburst, Tang Ruochu only felt ironic. It was a death penalty to foolishly fall out with shareholders in the meeting.She was hopeless.The shareholders all pulled a long face. When their despicable deals were revealed on the spot, they all felt more angry than ashamed.Someone stood up. "Gu Ruoruo, I'll return the money to you. Today, I have to vote for Tang Ruochu, the true heir of the Tang family.""Me too." Others stood up as well.It was already a hopeless situation. Gu Ruoruo's face instantly paled.After a unanimous vote, Tang Ruochu smoothly became the Tang Group's new chairman.The news quickly spread through the company, and the employees who supported Tang Ruochu cheered with excitement.Perhaps, that was what everyone wanted.In the meeting room, Gu Ruoruo collapsed into a chair. She looked lifeless, as if she had lost her soul.Tang Ruochu glanced at her with eyes full of mockery. This was karma.Then, while all the shareholders were still present, she
Inside the Thunderbolt Entertainment Group.In a spacious conference room, the atmosphere was tense. Everyone was sitting straight and looking serious at some department manager reporting.However, Lu Shijin, who was in the front seat, appeared obviously absent-minded. He raised his hand to look at his watch.Mu Ling beside him secretly muttered in his heart, "27 times."This was a record number of times his CEO had looked at his watch during a meeting.Mr. Lu had never been so... distracted in a meeting. He must be worried about something. Even his soul seemed to have left here.He must be worrying about Mrs. Lu.There would be a shareholders' meeting today in Tang Group. They would select a new chairman, and Mrs. Lu was one of the candidates.No wonder Mr. Lu would worry.In the meanwhile, as Mu Ling got lost in thoughts like this, a ringtone suddenly rang in the room.The atmosphere in the room instantly got tenser. They all looked at each other and thought who would be so
