Offer To The CEO 274 Waiting For The Press Reaction

Monday, continued …

CEO Lu who was in the shadows received a text message that read 'Pa.s.s on Mission Accomplished. Tell them it was my pleasure and hopefully we can repeat a few weeks ago again.'

As soon as he read the message, he was glad that he had someone he could use to manipulate his son and daughter-in-law in the future for their s.e.xual activities. He was frustrated with their stupidity as it had ruined their chances for the short to medium term not only to destroy Hou Enterprises, but to place Lu Corporation in the position as the premier company in the city and one of the premier companies in the country.

At least they were thinking. Not targeting the company, but Hou Yi directly which should undermine confidence in Hou Yi, which would make the independent board members get rid of him, opening up opportunities.

The only problem would be shoring up that Hou Yi was still in City A at the relevant time. His stupid son succeeded on that occasion in acting against Hou Yi, and manipulated and drugged that stupid girl. At least he was able to get her to believe it was her distant cousin that was responsible for what happened, particularly given her infatuating with him.

The question was timing. He and Hou Yi had both been at the same conference in Paris the following day. However his arrival time meant that he had to have left City A, about midnight to have arrived in Paris when he did. Hopefully he could not prove where he was during the relevant time otherwise this gambit would fail.

He was grateful he had been able to sneak into the courthouse without the press pack noticing his arrival to await his son and daughter-in-law to leave the court room. Would they be serving their sentences by home detention or in jail? In some respects he hoped his son was sent to jail as it would be a short sharp sentencing allowing his to work behind the scenes on the undermining of Hou Enterprises. Due to the nature of his departure, there would not be a direct connection to Lu Corporation, despite the family connection.

He looked up, and noticed his son and daughter-in-law leaving the court room. They spotted him and moved over to him.

Lu Jinhu spoke "Dad, rather than the eight weeks jail they imposed sixteen weeks home detention."

"d.a.m.n it son, I told you, the better option was to take jail, as you can do little for the next sixteen weeks to help me."

"F**k it dad, I need to support my wife, and I have a plan. I am going to study on-line to complete my MBA, and this means they will have to allow me internet access for studying, and I will use an Australian University for this purpose. I can then underhandedly then access people I need to. The benefit is that I tell the authorities I am going to make use of my time of home detention effectively."

"Smart thinking. Now I have a message," and with that he carefully showed them the text message.

"Dad, we have to wait to have the monitoring device fitted, but it means that we can watch the press show when those two exit the building. It does not really satisfy me, but some revenge against them is better than nothing at the moment. I can plan a better revenge once I am done with my home detention and hiding it in the study notes means that they will not find it."

Yang Lin, then decided that she needed to enter the conversation "Dad, remember that my term of home-detention is only eight weeks, which we already knew. No restrictions then apply to me outside the house, and I can do the background work so Lu Jihnu can act. It is not wasted time, and more importantly they will think that we have forgotten about acting against them."

"Now shut up you two, we need to watch what is about to happen, as there is movement at the court room door. I will move back into the shadows, but you need to be more so that they can see you. We do not want them to know I am here. I will organise so that when you are ready to get out of here, I can slip you out without press attention."

With that CEO Lu, slipped deeper into the court building, leaving Yang Lin and Lu Jinhu to observe what was about to happen. They watched the press pack and waited to hear the calls from the press as soon as the door was opened and Hou Yi and Anna exited, which they heard, grinning from ear to ear.
