"Haha, is that so?" Qin Fangang's slightly rough thumb gently stroked her cheek. The throbbing caused by it was impossible to ignore. His deep voice clearly had a double meaning. "Some things have already happened. Do you really think that just because you say that nothing happened, you can really erase it like chalk? Xin Yu, you're too naive. "
…
Xin Yu's heart thumped. This was the first time he had called her name when they were alone.
Xin Yu … Xin Yu …
Countless people had said that name before. Why did it feel so strong when he heard it now?
"You …"
"Boss Qin!"
There was a sudden knock on the door. It was Ji Yang's voice. He interrupted Xin Yu's words and reminded her, "Boss Qin, the meeting starts in five minutes. Do you want to go over now?"
Xin Yu hurriedly pushed Qin Fangang away forcefully. Her face flashed with an unusual blush. This time, Qin Fangang didn't force her. He let go of her and said to the person outside the door in a deep voice, "Go and get ready. We'll go over now."
He then said to Xin Yu, "Come with me. We'll have the meeting."
…
Xin Yu didn't expect to run into Lu Yihan at the meeting today.
But on second thought, it wasn't strange. He was a high-ranking member of the Lu Clan. As long as he wanted to participate in this kind of meeting, how could he not have the right to sit here?
When she followed Qin Fangang into the meeting room, she saw Lu Yihan sitting on the first seat on the left. She was arranged to sit on the first seat on the right. Thus, the two of them faced each other. When Xin Yu occasionally raised her eyes, she would meet Lu Yihan's dark eyes. There were some emotions that she couldn't fathom.
She really felt like a huge rock was pressing down on her. Throughout the entire meeting, Xin Yu couldn't sit or stand still. She didn't really understand what the people around her were talking about.
In the end, someone mentioned the progress of a project they were preparing. Lu Yihan suddenly reached out and threw the folder in his hand on the table. He raised his eyebrows and said, "I don't agree with this."
The person who reported the progress was obviously stunned. With a stiff expression, he could not continue for a while and could only look at Qin Fangang, who was sitting in the main seat with a calm face.
Xin Yu subconsciously raised her head and looked at Qin Fangang.
The man sitting at the head of the table was calm and reserved. There was not much expression on his handsome face. The bright incandescent light above his head shone on his face, accentuating his deep-set facial features. Qin Fangang stretched out two fingers and gently pointed at the folder in front of him. "Uh huh. Tell me the reason why you don't agree."
Lu Yihan raised his eyebrows. His gaze swept over Xin Yu, who was sitting across from him. In the end, he sneered and said bluntly, "The reason is very simple. I put this project on hold before. It's not without reason. First of all, the profits aren't very high. Second of all, this is the first time the Lu Clan has taken on a project like this. What's more, the client has connections with the government. If we don't have full confidence, there will definitely be mistakes. It's not like the Lu Clan doesn't have other projects to work on. I don't think we need to take this risk. On the contrary, this sum of money can be used on a piece of land in the west of D City. I've already prepared the proposal. "
Lu Yihan took out a red folder from under the blue folder and threw it to his assistant. He reached out his hand and snapped his fingers. "Explain my proposal in all sorts of ways."
It was rare for a playboy like Lu Yihan to have a man as his assistant. The assistant hurriedly stood up when he heard this. He was probably already familiar with the entire proposal, so it didn't take much effort to explain it.
After the assistant finished explaining, Lu Yihan leisurely leaned back in his office chair with his long legs crossed. He exuded the rebellious aura of a hedonistic playboy. His tone was firm as he said, "I think this proposal is much more reliable than the project you just mentioned, Boss Qin. What does everyone think? "
There was instantly a wave of whispers in the room. Groups of twos and threes whispered into each other's ears.
After all, Lu Yihan was the son of the "first wife." He had been in the Lu Clan for so many years. It was fine even if he didn't make any contributions, but he was also recognized by everyone as the crown prince.
As for Qin Fangang, he had appeared out of nowhere. His abilities were extraordinary, and his every move was filled with the demeanor of a king. However, he was still the son of an unacknowledged "mistress."
Therefore, among the senior members of the Lu Clan present, there were some who supported Qin Fangang, and naturally, there were also some who supported Lu Yihan.
Qin Fangang was well aware of the support rate that didn't need to be stated. Naturally, Lu Yihan was also well aware of it.
He craned his neck and looked at the two rows of people below. The corners of his lips curled up. He suddenly pointed at one of the department heads on his side and asked, "Head Wang, what do you think?"
The person who was called out hurriedly stood up and said in all seriousness, "… I think Young Master Han's plan is feasible. When doing business, it's better to do it with experience than to do it with experience. The local economy hasn't been very good in the past two years. I think that if we want to invest in this project, we also need to look for the right timing. I support Young Master Han's plan. "
Lu Yihan raised his eyebrows and looked a little proud. He was obviously very satisfied with Head Wang's support.
However, there were soon voices of opposition from below. Those who opposed him naturally supported Qin Fangang.
"However, I think that Boss Qin's idea is feasible. If this project is done well, then it can be linked to the government. This is a good thing."
"What if it fails?"
"We haven't even started yet. How can we determine that it will definitely fail? Any project has a chance of success or failure. Although it's better to do business with experience than to do it with experience, we can't just stop moving forward. If there's a new direction, we still need to try. "
"In the long run, General Manager Lu's project will definitely be more profitable."
"That will be at least three years later. However, although the profits from Boss Qin's project aren't much, if they accumulate, they will still earn a very good reputation."
…
The entire conference room suddenly fell into a heated discussion.
Xin Yu quietly raised her head and glanced at the man who was sitting at the top. He had been silent the whole time. He had a cigarette between his fingers and frowned as he smoked skillfully. He was full of charm. She was absent-minded for a moment, but she was awakened by another sharp gaze.
She turned her face abruptly and saw Lu Yihan's dark eyes. They were filled with ridicule and a little bit of coldness.
Xin Yu frowned. Of course, she really didn't like Lu Yihan's gaze — it was like a husband staring at his wife who was cheating on him.
She only felt that it was funny. Even if she had really wronged him, he had wronged her first.
Moreover, did he see her as his wife? What right did he have to judge her with such a gaze?
She didn't want him to think that she was guilty. Xin Yu lowered her eyes as if nothing had happened. Her slender fingers had just touched the documents in front of her when someone suddenly called her name.
"… Miss Leng, why don't you say what you think?"
…
Xin Yu was stunned. She was at a loss for a moment. She raised her head and saw a middle-aged man looking at her with a smile. "Miss Leng is also a shareholder of the Lu Clan. You have the right to speak. What do you think of these two projects?"
She didn't expect to be called out.
Xin Yu's delicate brows furrowed even more tightly. Actually, although she had just joined the Lu Clan, she had studied business administration in England. Naturally, she didn't have to worry about reading business proposals. She had taken some time to look at the project that Qin Fangang had mentioned before. It was mainly because it had a connection with the government and would later be used by the government. A project like this wouldn't make a lot of money, but if it was done well, it would naturally be able to cast a long line to catch a big fish. However, if something went wrong, it would definitely affect the Lu Clan's reputation. As for the project that Lu Yihan's assistant had just explained, based on its literal meaning, after acquiring the land on the west side of the city, they would still need to invest a lot of money. Furthermore, it would take at least three years for them to make a profit.
It seemed that both projects had their pros and cons. It was hard to say which project was more beneficial to the development of the Lu Clan.
From Xin Yu's point of view, it didn't matter which project was chosen. The Lu Clan was a large listed company. They didn't lack investment at all.
However, Xin Yu also knew that this meeting had become a battle between the two brothers.
And she, unfortunately, was she going to be sandwiched between them?
"… Actually, I just joined the Lu Clan. There are a lot of things that I'm still figuring out, so I can't simply give my opinion just because I hold shares in the Lu Clan. I think that's unfair to both of us."
These were the words that flashed through her mind. Xin Yu blurted them out naturally. She even had a calm smile on her face.
She never knew that it would be so easy to use dignified words to fob off someone. Perhaps it was because she had been with Qin Fangang for a while that some things had gradually integrated into her thinking. Even if she always felt that she was resistant to accepting it, she had already gotten used to it.
"You don't have to be so modest."
Lu Yihan casually placed his hands behind his head and smiled. He looked at Xin Yu with a malicious provocation. "Dear, if you have any opinions, just say them. Although you just joined the Lu Clan, you shouldn't have wasted the five years you spent studying in the UK, right? Even if you don't have full confidence, you can still be enlightened by occasional armchair strategizing. "
The word "dear" made Xin Yu very uncomfortable. However, in front of so many people, she naturally couldn't show any negative emotions. She could only try to deflect Lu Yihan's words.
"Since General Manager Lu has already said that my opinions are just armchair strategizing, I don't think I'll say anything more. Besides, I really don't have any opinions to give."
"Is that so?" Lu Yihan shrugged and refused to back down. "Chairman Lu thinks so highly of you. Don't hold back at such a critical moment. Everyone is watching. Dear, don't hold back. Just say what you have to say. Besides, even if you don't say it well, Boss Qin will definitely tolerate it. Isn't that right, Boss Qin?"
Qin Fangang remained calm throughout. His handsome face didn't show any signs of emotion. It was as if he was merely the CEO of a corporation, listening carefully to the opinions of his subordinates. He turned a deaf ear to Lu Yihan's provocation.
"If you have any opinions or opinions, you can say them."
"Since Boss Qin has already said so, dear, you don't have to think too much. Just say what you have to say."
