Lu Junhan's face had always been cold and indifferent. It was rare for him to show such an expression.
Lu Qidong and the others were even more curious when they saw his expression.
Lu Junhan seemed to recall the situation at that time. He frowned in annoyance and his cold jawline tightened slightly.
Two years ago, Old Mr. Shen had indeed come to look for him with Mu Qi by his side.
Mu Qi generally trusted and respected the people that Old Shen took a fancy to unconditionally.
This was also why Mu Qi treated Lu Junhan differently from the others when he saw him. In his heart, Lu Junhan was someone Old Mr. Shen approved of.
However, Lu Junhan was very annoyed by people following him around. If the next successor took office, he had to get along with the four hall masters and cultivate relationships. This meant that he had to stay with the four hall masters for at least half a year.
Moreover, half a year was considered short. If he didn't get along well, it was possible that he had to spend four to five years with them.
Lu Junhan had always been a loner and had a cold personality. He couldn't tolerate even one person in his territory, let alone four at once.
However, just this alone wasn't enough to make Lu Junhan speechless. What made him speechless was that he had wanted to reject Old Mr. Shen, but Old Mr. Shen's people beat him to it and told him to treat Old Mr. Shen's previous request to be his successor as nonsense and not take it to heart.
This made it clear that Old Mr. Shen had contacted him and regretted it.
Lu Junhan's face darkened on the spot.
Later on, he heard that Pei Mingzhi had also been approached by Old Mr. Shen but was stood up. Only then did he feel much better.
Later on, he found out that Old Mr. Shen couldn't find anyone he was satisfied with among the older generation, which was Old Mr. Shen's generation. The main reason was that the heads of the big families in Haicheng and Beijing used to be Old Mr. Shen's subordinates. Old Mr. Shen was used to their submissive behavior. Decades later, they were still the same. It almost made him furious.
The older generation was all afraid of him, so Old Mr. Shen could only choose from the younger generation. At that time, Lu Qidong's car accident and Pei Mingzhi's father, Third Uncle, was ambitious but not capable. Old Mr. Shen still couldn't find anyone and could only choose from the younger generation.
After much difficulty, he finally chose Lu Junhan and Pei Mingzhi and rushed over..
Who knew that Lu Junhan's personality was too cold and Old Mr. Shen couldn't get along with him. If the two of them stayed in the same room and didn't have Mu Qi to chat and laugh beside them, Old Mr. Shen and Lu Junhan wouldn't talk for most of the day. However, both of them were sly old foxes and could still keep their cool.
In the end, Old Mr. Shen couldn't stand it anymore and tried to find topics to talk about with Lu Junhan many times. After all, as the next successor, Old Mr. Shen definitely had to bring him around to familiarize himself with the business at hand. However, he was annoyed by Lu Junhan's cold and aloof personality. Old Mr. Shen almost threw the ashtray on the table at his head.
Old Mr. Shen wasn't willing to take care of an iceberg. Although Lu Junhan was very capable, they really couldn't get along. Hence, Old Mr. Shen left.
Then, he turned around and looked for Pei Mingzhi.
Pei Mingzhi and Lu Junhan's personalities were like fire and ice. Unlike Lu Junhan's cold and impatient attitude, Pei Mingzhi could smile at anyone he saw. His social skills were very strong.
When Old Mr. Shen went to look for him, he was very satisfied with his ability. However, Pei Mingzhi was too extroverted and didn't have any dignity or stability. Moreover, he was lazy and didn't seek to improve himself. Naturally, Old Mr. Shen didn't dare to give him the position of successor.
Hence, he couldn't find anyone he was satisfied with. Several times, Old Mr. Shen thought that it would be great if Lu Junhan and Pei Mingzhi's personalities could be balanced. That would be perfect. However, he could only think about it. It was impossible.
Just like that, two years passed. Little Lu Li
Appeared.
After hearing this explanation, Lu Qidong heaved a sigh of relief. "In that case, Old Mr. Shen should be here for you and not Li Li, right?"
Lu Junhan nodded slightly. "If I'm not wrong, it should be."
Lu Junhan's personality wasn't suitable for dealing with the four hall masters. However, he was indeed very capable and Old Mr. Shen thought highly of him.
Old Mr. Shen couldn't bear to let him go. Coincidentally, Little Lu Li appeared.
In a short period of time, Old Mr. Shen acutely realized that Little Lu Li could get along with everyone. She could completely make up for her father's shortcomings. Moreover, Lu Junhan was her father. If the little girl became the successor, Lu Junhan would definitely not sit by and do nothing. He would definitely help manage it.
In this way, everyone was happy.
"I'm afraid he's not just here for you." Old Mr. Shen touched his chin.
Lu Qidong asked, "Dad, what do you mean?"
"I've been a soldier under Old Mr. Shen for many years. Moreover, I haven't broken off contact with Old Mr. Shen all these years. I should be able to understand Old Mr. Shen," Old Mr. Shen said. "If Old Mr. Shen is really here for Lu Junhan, why doesn't he look for Pei Xiubai? Don't forget, Old Mr. Shen also has his eyes on Pei Mingzhi. Moreover, Pei Xiubai is much smarter than that girl. "
Song Ching-wan murmured, "That's true …"
