Offer To The CEO 571 Angry Friends - Part 3

Sunday, continued …

Snake continued, after the interruption, "Lu Sang, he is not stupid how the business operates. Unlike the rest of the Lu Family he entered Lu Corporation at a junior level and has worked his way up in the company into a senior position in his current department. The difference between him and Lu Jinhu is that he has not gone to university."

"He has operational smarts but Lu Jinhu has the theoretical knowledge. With guidance from qualified management, not the family, he will be capable for a couple of years to handle the company until Lu Jinhu's ban ends, and then the process must be redone, but that will end up with Lu Jinhu becoming the CEO. Lu Jingho will not be considered for it at all, and I suspect the potential jail sentence will prevent him from ever having the position."Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.

"Totally deserved. We know what he has been like to deal with in a business sense," said Yao Tan

"And observing how he treats his lawyers at court, he is no different. His view is that he knows what the outcome should be, and everyone is required to give it to him. I would guess that he has been berating them for issues when he is at fault."

Everyone was observing King and could see how angry he was getting about the whole situation, and he blurted out "He has to pay."

Yao Tan, despite how much he knew King was right, had to protect his daughter and her wishes. "King, while I might agree, Alecia has to be in control of what happens, and we need to respect that. She loves you and told me to tell you that if you cause too much of an issue, she will hate you."

Amanda followed on "And, other than Anna and James, we have all been guilty of the same thing in the last nine months. We have treated her like a little child who does not know what she wants, while giving Junior and Ton the freedom they want."

"Look what giving her freedom caused" spat our King.

"Look we will go in circles. King, Alecia antic.i.p.ated your issue, and told me yesterday for you to call her if you cannot accept her decision. Last weekend, we could see how happy she has become in the last couple of months. James is the difference. He sees her as she is, and between the two of them they are willing to sacrifice for each other" came our Yao Tan quietly. "The funny thing is the two of them remind me of you and your late wife. Now, I will let you into my study so you can make the call to her."

"d.a.m.n you …" before King could spit out anything more, everyone could hear Junior and Tan coming back from their rooms to joint everyone.

Tan spat out quietly "Alecia does not want them to know, and she said she will kill all of us when she gets back it, we tell."

With that Yao Tan stood up and pulled King toward his study, before opening the door, picking up a phone and dialling Alecia, before leaving the room and joining everyone else. While everyone was waiting for King to return everyone sat around talking about various matters, and as soon as Kin returned some fifteen minutes later lunch was brought out.

As they were talking the conversation drifted through different topics. Surprisingly at one-point Junior and Ton, brought up starting to plan a low key wedding and welcome back party for James and Alecia. Yao Tan and Amanda surprisingly looked at them, before Yao Tan asked "Why?"

"Dad, despite everything, the few days we spent with her told us how much we missed her…" Started Ton.

Junior continued "You forget until now we have not been separated for more than a couple of days in our lives, and we just want to do something nice. We had been talking, we do not have much money, but figured a simple ceremony with a few friends and family and Grandma and Grandpa's villa would work and would be within our budget."

Every adult around the table was stunned. Here were the boys who hated sharing the limelight with their sister and who always tried to manipulate her into spending her money on them, willing to spend money on her.

The first to recover was Anna, who leant over and whispered to Hou Yi something no one could overhear before seeing him nod. Anna quietly said "If you are willing boys, I could talk and see if you could use the gardens at the Hou Ancestral Home, but and this is a big but, you need to be there, and if there is a yes, talk to the staff about the menu and work out how to pay for it. You have to be fully responsible for it, none of us nor your grandparents or your Uncle Yi's family will take up any responsibility."

The two of them looked at each other, realising that Anna had called their bluff. Yes, they were willing to start the work, but figured that they could manipulate adults to finish off the work for them. Junior having observed how happy their father was, leant over and whispered to Ton "We need to put a proviso on it but cannot refuse as you see how proud dad is"

"That sounds OK, but if we are struggling, we will be asking for help as we really do not know what we are doing. We just thought it would be nice."

With that, everyone could not help but sit and agree with them.
