Chapter 570 She’s Really Calculative. To Think That Father Would Actually Agree

“No buts, he has to overcome challenges even if it is difficult. Tell him tomorrow that I will only help him manage the Lu Group for another two days at most. He has to take over and manage the Lu Group after that.” The First Madam could only endure her heartache for her son. She thought about it for a moment and suggested. “Why don’t I call some nephews from my family to help Zhiheng?” Eldest Master Lu gave her a warning look. “Put away those little thoughts of yours. Father has mentioned in the past that outside relatives are not allowed inside the Lu Group.”

Anger surged forth within the First Madam at his words. “That’s because Jingye had influenced your father back then, which made him prevent relatives from entering the company. Take a look at other large organizations. Which one of them wouldn’t arrange some relatives inside to monitor those outsiders? This is to prevent outsiders from trying to play tricks.”

The Eldest Master Lu was extremely exhausted after a day’s work and so how could he possibly be in the mood to patiently listen to his wife? “I’ve said no and that’s it. Don’t bring up this matter again in the future.”

He headed to the master bedroom after he said his piece.

The First Madam looked at her husband’s back view and gnashed her teeth while she felt grievance deep down. Ever since she had married into the Lu Family, it appeared as if she had succeeded in life. However, who would possibly know that she had not managed to bring many benefits to her family at all? Instead, those nephews of hers had been restricted everywhere to the extent that they dare not do this or that.

The more she thought, the angrier she got. She did not head back to the bedroom, instead, she headed outside to contact her family members to pour out her grievances.

After she had poured out all of her complaints, the First Madam finally felt better and she put away her phone with the intention to enter the house.

Just then, the housekeeper came over from one side.

“First Madam.”

The First Madam stopped and turned to look at the housekeeper as she asked curiously, “Housekeeper, what are you doing here at this time?”

The housekeeper said “Patriarch Lu has a slight cough and I’m headed to the kitchen to have them prepare some cough medicine. I just so happen to walk past here.”

The First Madam nodded. She was not in the mood for small talk and turned around with the intention to leave.

Just then, the housekeeper spoke with concern. “You seem to be in a bad mood. Could it be due to the Eldest Young Master?”

The housekeeper was the confidant of Patriarch Lu and he had been following him long before the First Madam married into the Lu Family. The impression he gave her was that he could take care of everything in an appropriate manner.

When the First Madam had some things that she found hard to personally inform Patriarch Lu of, she would look for the housekeeper instead. Following that, he would then observe for a good time to convey her words to Patriarch Lu in a calm and collected manner

As a result, the First Madam was rather trusting of the housekeeper.

“Sigh…”

After she released a sigh, she recounted the words she had told her husband earlier.

The housekeeper looked at the First Madam’s vexed expression and he said in a particularly considerate tone, “In fact, what you said is right. If we don’t arrange a few confidants in the company, the most frightening thing is those outsiders who will privately gather power. Not to mention among the top management of the Lu Group right now, most of them were brought up by the Second Young Master.”

“Yes, you’re right. That’s what I meant too. However, Jiancheng doesn’t listen to me at all and he even said that this rule is stipulated by Patriarch Lu.”

Speaking of this, the First Madam got angry again. “Hmph, I’ve finally seen through his true colors. The reason why Jingye had gotten his Grandfather to set up the rule of preventing relatives from entering the Lu Group is because the Song Family has no capable individuals at all. Therefore, he had deliberately requested that relatives be prevented from entering from his Grandfather. He’s basically guarding against me and Third Sister-in-law’s family members!”

The housekeeper listened to her attentively and did not immediately answer her.

The First Madam continued to speak. “Why don’t you help me persuade Patriarch Lu? It’s too tiring for Zhiheng to take care of the Lu Group on his own. It just so happens that his cousins have also studied financial management and it’ll be easier on Zhiheng with them around to help.”

She then looked at the surroundings and whispered, “As long as Patriarch Lu agrees to let my nephews help Zhiheng, I will make sure that you won’t lose out.”

The housekeeper hastily said, “I’m the housekeeper of the Lu Family and helping you solve your woes, First Madam, is my responsibility… Don’t you worry, I will bring up what you said to Patriarch Lu.”

“That’s great.”

With the housekeeper’s guarantee, the First Madam finally felt more at ease.

The next morning, she had been called over to Patriarch Lu’s room by the helpers.

She knew that the housekeeper must have mentioned her idea.

Sure enough, Patriarch Lu immediately asked, “Those nephews of yours major in financial management?”

The First Madam quietly glanced at the housekeeper and he slightly gave her a nod. Only then did she answer Patriarch Lu’s question. “Yes, Father.”

Just then, the housekeeper added. “Patriarch Lu, after such an ordeal, the Eldest Young Master’s body needs to recuperate for a long period of time to recover fully. If he doesn’t have some trustworthy individuals to a.s.sist him, his health would not be able to endure the stress.”

“Yes, that’s right. Yesterday when I visited the hospital, the doctor informed me that Zhiheng’s condition is rather bad. He cannot afford to overwork again else it would result in long-term effects.” Speaking of this, the First Madam’s voice cracked. Patriarch Lu closed his eyelids and he did not answer at once. Instead, he lifted his teacup to take a sip.

The First Madam felt a little uneasy and quietly winked at the housekeeper.

Just then, he bent down slightly and said, “Patriarch Lu, if we don’t find a few individuals to help the Eldest Young Master, only the Second Young Master is able to manage the…”

BAM!

The teacup slammed on the table. Both the housekeeper and the First Madam’s hearts skipped a beat.

Patriarch Lu spoke up and there were traces of displeasure in his tone. “Is there no one else in the Lu Family who can manage the company except for him?”

“Patriarch Lu, calm down. I was wrong and I won’t bring this up again in the future.” The housekeeper then winked at the First Madam.

“Father, then… about the matter of finding some confidants for Zhiheng?”

“Bring them over for me to take a look.” “Oh! Okay!” The First Madam was elated.

“Alright, I understand.” After Lu Jingye ended the call, he saw the other three people at the dining table looking at him. He said, “Eldest Aunt arranged for several of her nephews to enter the Lu Group.”

On the account that Ian was around, Mrs. Lu did not snort but merely said, “She’s really calculative. To think that Father would actually agree.”

On the other hand, Zi Yi was not so polite with her words. “What’s the difference between one and a group of trash managing the company? At most, it would only cause the Lu Group to close down at a faster rate.”

Ian did not expect Zi Yi to be so straightforward in front of Mrs. Lu and he quietly glanced in Mrs. Lu’s direction.

Unexpectedly, she had no sort of reaction at all. She even grabbed a bun for Zi Yi. “Yiyi, try this stuffed bun. The filling is made from the free-range chicken and the mushrooms you had brought back from the hot springs villa.”

Zi Yi picked it up and took a bite. Her eyes brightened after tasting it. “It’s delicious.”

She also grabbed one for Mrs. Lu.

Ian felt that he had been worried for nothing. He then turned to ask Lu Jingye, “Your Grandfather would rather call in an outsider to manage the company than ask you to come back. Shouldn’t you feel angry?”
