Li Sui ignored his mockery, but when he thought of what happened to those abandoned babies in the childhood welfare home, he couldn't help frowning, the indifference to life was the most intolerable thing he could do.
"Can't we show some respect for human life?" He was puzzled.
Li Yan only thought it was funny, and said, "Seeing that Lu Shang spoiled you, you dare to teach me now?"
"This has nothing to do with Boss Lu, I—"
"I raised you for three years, and you didn't say a word of gratitude to me. How long has Lu Shang raised you before you spoke to him?" Li Yan interrupted him.
Li Sui looked at him, his hands quietly clenched into fists. He was used to compromise and passive since he was a child. For a long time in the past, he was a person without self. There is no denying that he used to be afraid of Li Yan, and even now, his first reaction to seeing him is still to run away. But at this moment, when he stood here, he suddenly couldn't figure it out. How could he think Li Yan was scary before
He slowed down his speech and said, "Brother Yan, you gave me food, and I will remember your kindness all my life, but without your bowl of rice, I don't think I would starve to death. I am with you. There, the person who can live to this day is not you, but myself."
There was another sentence that Li Sui didn't say. Even if there was anyone in the world worthy of his gratitude, it would only be Lu Shang, because he not only gave him food, but also taught him what dignity is.
Li Sui suddenly realized that he didn't know when he had become accustomed to Lu Shang's various concerns, and even became a source of confidence for him. If you think about it, you will subconsciously protect him. It was said that the frog was boiled in warm water, and he vaguely felt that he was the frog.
"I can't find you anywhere, I thought you were going somewhere." A familiar voice came from behind, Li Sui recovered from his daze, saw Li Yan took off his sunglasses, and said hello to Lu Shang.
Lu Shang didn't plan to catch up with him. He came over to exchange a few words, and was about to take someone away, but was stopped by Li Yan: "Boss Lu, I can still reserve a seat for you in my shareholder seat."
Lu Shang knew in his heart that he was talking about an invitation, but he was actually asking to take away the favor Li Sui owed at the beginning. After all, Li Jinyao was born in the underworld, and he paid too much attention to the loyalty of the rivers and lakes. This kind of thing was very useful ten years ago. At that time, everyone was poor and there was no conflict of interest. But now the times have changed. This is a business field, and it is no longer possible to do business by relying on favors. Lu Shang was deeply touched by this. Speaking of which, Liu Xingtian "taught" this to him.
If he doesn't agree, what can Li Yan do with him
"Sorry, I don't want to talk about cooperation today."
On the way back, Lu Shang kept waiting for Li Sui to speak first, and when the two of them got home, Li Sui didn't say a word. He couldn't help but wonder, this child usually had his thoughts written on his face to him, but he didn't know what happened today. Could it be that Li Yan's words really had such a big impact on him
When he was sleeping, he pulled Li Sui to the side of the bed, rubbed his hair, and asked him what he was thinking. Li Sui hesitated, thinking for a long time before asking, "Boss Lu, why are you being so nice to me?"
He had asked this question before. At that time, Lu Shang didn't take it seriously, but now such a sentence suddenly popped up, and he couldn't help but feel a strange feeling in his heart. Thinking back on Li Sui's hesitant and absent-minded expression that day, Lu Shang quickly guessed the reason for his silence.
"what do you wish to ask?"
Li Sui asked cautiously, "Is it all because of that contract?"
Lu Shang's eyes sank, he was silent for a moment, and nodded. There was a momentary loss in Li Sui's eyes, but it was quickly covered up by his action of turning off the lights.
"The contract is in the study. You can understand it now. I'll let Uncle Yuan show it to you tomorrow."
"I don't want to see it." Li Sui got into the quilt.
After that day, Lu Shang found that Li Sui was not as clingy to him as before. Although he would stick to him and cover his legs at night, he would also help him clean up the food he couldn't finish, but he couldn't tell what was wrong. The child seemed to have hidden his tail overnight and retracted into his protective shell.
Lu Shang wanted to talk to him, but he never found the right time. Dongyan's shareholders meeting dragged on and off for more than two months, and finally came to an end in chaos. Lushang won 40% of the shares with more than half of the votes. The change will be completed within one month, but as a price, He must take over the real estate project in Haikou.
This is a double-edged sword. If you do it well, you can quickly expand the real power in his hands. If you don't do it well, both Dongyan and him will face difficulties.
The project in Haikou is almost a legacy of the previous generation. More than ten years ago, Dongyan Group selected a piece of land by the sea to build a sea-view house. As a result, in the event of a tsunami storm, the land just completed the foundation was completely flooded. This piece of land seems to be on the bar with them, and there are problems every now and then. Some people have even concluded that for the high-level executives who have dealt with this project, either the car crashed or the wives were separated, almost all of them had no good end. Rumors spread for a while, and later, no one dared to take over.
The location of this land was visited by Lu Shang and his father. There is no problem with the land itself, and the quality of the sea water is also high, but it is superstitious that the feng shui is not very good. Lu Shang was a materialist. His father passed away because of a heart attack, which was not directly related to the project. The main issue was whether it could be profitable. Whether it's building a house or doing something else, it doesn't matter whether he believes these rumors or not, it's mainly the buyers who believe it or not.
Regarding the planning of this land, Lu Shang organized a one-day meeting during the day, and did not come up with a suitable plan from the sunrise to sunset. As the earliest group company in China, Dongyan has been established for a long time, but it also has a long disadvantage. Due to some rigid regulations, the company has not made any major innovations. As a result, there are too many people who eat vegetarian meals and work hard. Too few people.
"After talking a lot of nonsense, we still have to do it ourselves. What do you think the company is raising these people for?" After the meeting, Xu Weilan packed up the materials indignantly.
Lu Shang also felt a terrible headache. As a leader, he could feel Dongyan's current stagnation. Every time he wanted to implement a new policy, there was always a lot of resistance, which was very detrimental to the development of the group. The policies are changing, the situation is changing, and those who can't keep up with the changes are the only way to go.
"It would be great if the articles of association could be changed..." Xu Weilan muttered casually, and was taken into his heart by Lu Shang.
He turned around and asked, "What conditions are needed?"
"The resolution to amend the company's articles of association must be approved by more than two-thirds of the voting rights held by the shareholders present at the meeting." Xu Weilan said, "The transfer of shares is the majority of the voting rights, and on this basis, an additional 17% is required. The 6% of Ke’s transfer to you has been delayed until this year, so there is no need to think about changing the articles of association now.”
Lu Shang fell into deep thought. His current shareholding is still far from two-thirds. Modifying the articles of association is equivalent to depriving shareholders of control over the company's development, which is indeed not something he can do at present. What the old shareholders want is money and power. They can tolerate him to expand his 6% stake for money, but they will never give up Dongyan's long-term meal ticket for money.
"Boss Lu, someone is here." Uncle Yuan came in and knocked on the door.
Lu Shang held a one-day meeting, and didn't want to see people too much, and was about to let Uncle Yuan take people away, when he saw Xu Weilan winking at him a few times, quite a bit of a joke.
He turned his swivel chair over, saw Li Sui standing in front of the door, and smiled at him.
This kid is actually quite handsome, he thought out of place in his mind.
"Why are you here?" Lu Shang beckoned him in.
"Big Brother Zuo asked me to call you." Li Sui walked over and said, "Happy birthday."
Lu Shang smiled: "Thank you."
"Oh, I've been too busy to forget. Today, our boss Lu's birthday," Xu Weilan patted his brain, "Where is Zuo Chao's appointment, hurry up and get rid of my bad luck for the day."
"Hot Spring Villa."
The Hot Spring Villa is the place where Yan Ke invited them to dinner last time. There are several famous dishes here, which cannot be eaten in ordinary places and need to be booked in advance. In addition, the location is hidden and the background relationship is hard, so it has become a frequent gathering place for high-ranking officials and celebrities from all walks of life.
"Are you tired?" In the car, Li Sui saw Lu Shang rubbing his brows all the time.
Lu Shang: "It's okay."
Li Sui reached out and shook his palm, but Lu Shang held it back and said, "I'm going to the island next week, will you come with me?"
"Do you need me to go?"
Lu Shang smiled slightly: "I can't sleep when no one warms the bed."
It was getting dark, and the shadowy light flashed across Lu Shang's face. Li Sui's heart moved, and his fingers couldn't help clenching.
When they arrived, the dishes had already been served, and Meng Xinyou was there. They also brought a famous watch, saying that it was given by Meng Xinyou's father. Lu Shang made a special call to thank him.
Liang Zirui cried with him halfway, saying that there was a report that could not be written, and he would spend it alone with him another day.
The beauties accompany them, and the gentlemen restrained a little. They only booked a small room, and the seats were not filled yet. Li Sui looked around and thought that Lu Shang seemed to be getting along well, but he was actually a close friend. But just these few.
Lu Shang didn't like to be lively, so they just ate quietly and didn't drink wine during the banquet.
"The squirrel fish here is good, you can try it." Lu Shang gave Li Sui a piece.
"Squirrel fish?" Li Sui asked, "So is this a squirrel or a fish?"
"Guess," Zuo Chao laughed at him, "you guessed it right, eldest brother accompanies you to drink."
"You guessed it right and don't drink."
Lu Shang smiled lightly and said, "Drink if you want."
"It's what you've been waiting for." Zuo Chao loves wine, and it's uncomfortable if he doesn't drink it. He prepared a few bottles of red wine early in the morning, but unfortunately Lu Shang didn't speak, so he kept hiding under the table and didn't take it out.
"A bottle from 1988?"
Several people immediately booed, Li Sui went to call the waiter to open a drink, but no one responded for a long time, so he had to go out to find a wine starter.
"You really take good care of him." Meng Xinyou couldn't help but look back after seeing Li Sui go out.
Lu Shang: "Are you jealous?"
Meng Xinyou admitted it generously and smiled: "It's really a bit."
Although they are brothers and sisters, Meng Xinyou's mind and Lu Shang know a little bit, but unfortunately both of them know it's impossible, so it's just a joke. Meng Xinyou herself is not a hypocritical person. She has a superior family background and a special identity. She has a clear goal for her marriage since she was a child. It was only occasionally that she couldn't help but think that if she was born in an ordinary family, the ideal husband would probably be Lu Shang's. He was elegant, courteous, low-key and considerate, but unfortunately she didn't have that kind of luck. Lu Shang's gentleness was perfect. given to others.
"Hey, why haven't you come back yet?" Zuo Chao waited impatiently for the wine.
Lu Shang remembered the last time Li Sui came here and went to the female soup by mistake, and stood up: "I'll look for it."
Just as he walked to the door, the phone suddenly rang, it was Li Sui.
"Don't move." Li Sui seemed to be running.
"What's wrong?"
"Someone is chasing me, with a knife in his hand, it seems to be coming for me and you," Li Sui panted heavily, "I'll lure him away now..."
Lu Shang's nerves immediately tightened: "Where are you now?"
"In... the changing room where you helped me sort my clothes last time..."
Lu Shang ordered: "Stay there, don't move, and hide yourself."
Several people in the private room realized that the atmosphere was wrong, and turned their heads one after another, Zuo Chao stood up: "What's wrong?"
"Block B in the changing room, the opponent has a knife in his hand."
As soon as he finished speaking, Zuo Chao had already led someone out, and Lu Shang was not idle, and Xu Weilan followed closely behind.
As soon as he approached the changing room, he heard the sound of a fight. Zuo Chao rushed over in two steps and kicked the door open. He saw a man who looked like a waiter twisting his waist to avoid the chair that Li Sui had smashed over. Zuo Chao was born in black boxing. He went up and fell over the shoulder and directly knocked people down. The man who was restrained knew that he was defeated. With a loud roar, he threw the knife in his hand randomly. business.
"Lu Shang!" Li Sui rushed over in a hurry, and threw Lu Shang to the ground. The blade of the blade turned against the white light, rubbing Li Sui's arm and flying over, making a cut, and the sleeves of his shirt were quickly dyed red.
"Fuck!" Zuo Chao was provoked, and he kicked the waiter's lower body with one foot, directly kicking the person to wilt, and curled up on the ground for a long time without getting up. Then he instructed two of his subordinates to drag the person out: "Fight, come back when you find out who it is."
"Does it matter?" Lu Shang quickly got up from the ground and pulled out Li Sui's arm. The incision was not deep, but it was very long and there was a lot of blood. Fortunately, it was drawn in the direction of the incision. If it was inserted horizontally, say less. Also stab half the blade into the meat.
"Little pear, are you alright?"
"It's alright." Li Sui didn't feel any pain, but his whole body was weak, and although there was a lot of blood flow, he might as well have been more frightened. The moment the knife flew towards Lu Shang, his mind exploded, and the moment he rushed over was almost instinctive.
"Come in first." Meng Xinyou also came back to her senses at this time, and quickly cleared a cubicle next to her, let them all go in, and called the waiter to clean up the aisle.
A few minutes after Lu Shang helped the person in, Zuo Chao came back. Li Sui's face was not very good, Lu Shang was silent for a while, and asked Zuo Chao's two subordinates to send him to deal with the wound first.
After Li Sui left, the expressions of several people changed.
"Have you found out?" Lu Shang lowered his face.
Zuo Chao felt ashamed. Li Sui's safety had always been his responsibility. There was nothing wrong with him during this time, so he gradually relaxed his vigilance. He didn't expect problems at the villa.
"I came in during the shift in the evening." Zuo Chao rubbed his fists. The man had already been beaten up by him, and he confessed to an unexpected but unusually familiar name.
"It's Li Yan," Zuo Chao's veins burst out, "We have been guarding Liu Xingtian, but we didn't expect Li Yan to take advantage of it."
But Lu Shang thought of something else: "So I have to take a stake in Chanzhuang."
It seemed that the knife was aimed at Li Sui, but it was actually a warning to him that Li Yan's obsession had not been put down yet, and it seemed that he had to settle for money. The only question is whether he just wants money or wants to take the opportunity to pull Lu Shang into the water.
"The makeup is definitely not clean. Dongyan has been on the right track for a few years. If the shoes are wet, it will not only mean that our efforts over the years will be in vain, but it will be difficult to clean up in the future." Xu Weilan said.
"I have some news here. I wanted to talk about it after dinner." Meng Xinyou's words immediately caught everyone's attention.
"The newly learned situation is that the Li family is in a situation. Last year, Li Jinyao bought a ship to transport goods, but it sank in the river at the beginning of the year. They have huge debts in their hands, and the bank's loan is due. I listen to me. People under my father said that the top of the bank was preparing to restructure the loan."
"Can a cargo ship sink have such a big impact? With the assets of the Li family, you can't afford this loss, right?" Zuo Chao said in surprise.
Lu Shang chuckled, his voice warm: "Of course, because there are other things on the ship."
Meng Xinyou nodded in agreement: "I heard that after the ship sank, a layer of dead fish floated on the river downstream the next day."
"How many contraband is required to poison all the fish, is Li Jinyao crazy about money?" Zuo Chao said.
"As soon as the assets of the Li family are finished, it is only a matter of time before the rest of the assets are exposed. Coupled with the scandal that Li Yan has been forced to play female stars over the years, it is estimated that they will be able to drink a pot by then. In any case, the Li family is definitely a boat. I can't step on it, I think this time, he is also in a hurry to do this kind of thing."
"So according to the current situation, they are more likely to be short of money." Xu Weilan concluded.
Lu Shang nodded: "The problem that money can solve is not a problem. Put some money to help them first, comfort them first, and then drag them out slowly."
"The question is..." Meng Xinyou looked around, "whose name should I vote in?"
In whose name you vote, it means that in the future, this person will have to pay criminal responsibility. He must have no legal relationship with Dongyan and Lu Shang, and he must be able to plead guilty and not pour dirty water back.
As soon as Meng Xinyou's words came out, everyone thought of a person. Considering that this person had just blocked Lu Shang's knife, it would be too unconscionable to push him out now. Xu Weilan thought about his words and pretended to say Fan analysis: "We must first ensure that this matter is not directly related to Dongyan in any way, so everyone here doesn't have to think about it, and secondly, this person must know the bottom line, have a trustworthy character, and will not be bribed by others. Rake upside down..."
Lu Shang interrupted him: "You don't need to say anything."
Several people looked up at him, Lu Shang paused, and said solemnly: "I'll think about it, I'll give you an answer tomorrow."
