Li Sui ignored his ridicule, but he couldn’t help frowning when he thought of what happened to those abandoned babies in the orphanage when he was young. The disregard for life was the most intolerable thing for him.

“Can’t you show some respect for human life?” He was puzzled.

Li Yan just thought it was funny, and said: “Looking at how much Lu Shang spoils you, do you dare to preach to 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 it been since Lu Shang raised you, and you’re talking to him?” Li Yan interrupted him.

Li Sui looked at him at the same level, and the hands beside him quietly clenched into fists. He was used to compromise and passivity since he was a child. For a long time in the past, he was a person without self.There is no denying that he was afraid of Li Yan before, and even now, his first reaction when he saw him was still to run away.But at this moment, standing here, he suddenly couldn’t figure it out, why did 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. There, to be able to live to this day, the person to be grateful is not you, but myself.”

There is another sentence that Li Sui didn’t say, even if there is anyone in this world who deserves his gratitude, it is only Lu Shang, because he not only gave him food, but also taught him what dignity is.

Li Sui suddenly realized that for Lu Shang’s various concerns, he did not know when he had changed from uneasiness to habituation, and even became his confidence, and he gradually put Lu Shang on his back unconsciously. If he is in his heart, he will subconsciously protect him.It is said that the frog is boiled in warm water, and he vaguely felt that he was that frog.

“I couldn’t find you anywhere, so I thought you had gone somewhere.” A familiar voice came from behind, Li Sui recovered from his daze, saw Li Yan took off his sunglasses, and greeted Lu Shang.

Lu Shang didn’t intend to reminisce with him, he came over to exchange some pleasantries, and was about to take him away, but was stopped by Li Yan: “Boss Lu, I still have a place for you at the shareholders’ table.”

Lu Shang knew that he was talking about an invitation, but he was actually asking for the favor he owed when he took away Li Sui.After all, Li Jinyao was born in the underworld, and he paid too much attention to the loyalty of the world, and he also cared too much about the relationship between people. His father was like this, and so was his son.This kind of thing was very effective more than ten years ago, when everyone was poor and there were no conflicts of interest, but now times have changed, this is a business place, and business can no longer be done only by favors.Lu Shang was deeply touched by this, and speaking of it, Liu Xingtian “taught” him this.

If he didn’t agree, what could Li Yan do with him?

“Sorry, I don’t want to talk about cooperation today.” He was so good at playing tricks that he didn’t leave any room for rejection.

On the way back, Lu Shang had been waiting for Li Sui to speak first, and when both of them arrived home, Li Sui didn’t say a word.He couldn’t help but wonder, this kid usually had his thoughts written all over his face, but today he didn’t know what happened. Could it be that Li Yan’s words really had such a big influence on him?

When sleeping, he pulled Li Sui to the side of the bed, rubbed his hair, and asked him what he was thinking.Li Sui hesitated to speak, and after thinking for a long time, he asked, “Boss Lu, why are you being so nice to me?”

He had asked this question before, and Lu Shang didn’t take it seriously at that time, but now that such a sentence came out suddenly, he couldn’t help feeling strange in his heart.Thinking back carefully 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 fleeting look of disappointment in Li Sui’s eyes, but he quickly covered it up by turning off the lights.

“The contract is in the study, you can understand it now, I will ask Uncle Yuan to bring it to you tomorrow.”

“I don’t want to watch.” Li Sui got under the quilt.

After this day, Lu Shang found that Li Sui was not as clingy to him as before. Although he would cling to him to cover his legs at night and clean up the food he couldn’t finish, he couldn’t tell what was wrong. The child seemed to hide his tail overnight, retracting into his protective shell.

Lu Shang wanted to talk to him, but he couldn’t find the right time.Dongyan’s shareholders’ meeting dragged on for more than two months, and finally came to an end in chaos. Lu Shang 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 has to take over the real estate project in Haikou.

This is a double-edged sword. If it is done well, it can quickly expand the real power in his hands. If it is not done well, both Dong Yan and him will face difficulties.

The Haikou project is almost a problem left over from the previous generation. More than ten years ago, Dongyan Group selected a piece of land by the sea to build a sea-view house. However, it encountered a tsunami storm, and the land just completed the foundation was completely flooded. This piece of land seems to be in conflict with them, and there are problems every now and then.Some people even concluded that all the high-level executives who had dealt with this project were either killed in car crashes or their wives were separated. Almost all of them did not end well. Rumors spread all over the place for a while, and no one dared to take over after that.

The location of this land was visited by Lu Shang and his father. There was nothing wrong with the land itself, and the quality of the sea water was also high. It was just a superstitious saying that Feng Shui was not very good.Lu Shang is a materialist. His father also died of a heart attack. It has no direct relationship with the project. The main problem is whether it can be profitable.Whether it is developing and building houses or doing other things, it doesn’t matter whether he believes these rumors or not, the main thing is whether the buyers believe it or not.

As for the planning of this land, Lu Shang organized people to hold a day’s meeting during the day, and did not come up with a suitable plan from sunrise to sunset.Dongyan, as the earliest group company in China, has been established for a long time, but the long time also has its disadvantages. Due to certain rigid regulations, the company has not made any major innovations, resulting in too many people who sit on vegetarian meals and work hard. too few people.

“I talked a lot of nonsense, but in the end 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 severe headache. As a leader, he could most feel Dongyan’s current stagnation. Every time he wanted to implement a new policy, there were always obstacles in implementing it, which was very detrimental to the development of the group.Policies are changing, the situation is changing, and if you can’t keep up with the changes, the only way to go is to eliminate them.

“It would be great if the regulations could be changed…” Xu Weilan muttered casually, which Lu Shang listened to.

He turned his head and asked, “What conditions do you need?”

“The resolution to amend the company’s articles of association must be approved by more than two-thirds of the voting rights held by shareholders present at the meeting.” Xu Weilan said, “The transfer of shares is more than half of the voting rights, and there is an additional 17% on this basis. Last year, strict The transfer of Ke’s 6% to you has been postponed until this year, so there is no need to think about changing the charter.”

Lu Shang fell into deep thought. His current shareholding is still far from two-thirds. Amending the articles of association is tantamount to depriving shareholders of control over the company’s development. This is indeed not what he can do at present.What the old shareholders want is money and power. They can tolerate him expanding his stake by 6% for money, but they are definitely not willing to give up Dong Yan’s long-term meal ticket for money.

“Boss Lu, someone is here.” Uncle Yuan came in and knocked on the door.

Lu Shang had a meeting all day, and he didn’t want to see people too much. He was about to let Uncle Yuan get rid of people, but Xu Weilan winked at him a few times, which was a bit teasing.

He turned the swivel chair around, saw Li Sui standing in front of the door, and smiled at him.

The kid is actually quite handsome, he thought inappropriately.

“Why are you here?” Lu Shang beckoned him in.

“Brother Zuo asked me to call you.” Li Sui walked over and said, “Happy birthday.”

Lu Shang smiled: “Thank you.”

“Oh, I’ve already forgotten, today is 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 this day.”

“Hot Spring Villa.”

The hot spring villa is where Yan Ke invited them to dinner last time. There are several famous dishes here, which are not available in ordinary places and need to be booked in advance.Coupled with the hidden location and strong background relationship, 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 eyebrows.

Lu Shang: “It’s okay.”

Li Sui reached out to shake his palm, but was held back by Lu Shang, 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 without anyone warming the bed.”

The sky was getting dark, and the faint light flashed across Lu Shang’s face, Li Sui’s heart moved, and his fingers tightened involuntarily.

When they arrived, the dishes had already been served, and Meng Xinyou was also there. He also brought a famous watch, which he said was a gift from Meng Xinyou’s father. Lu Shang called to express his thanks.

Liang Zirui cried to him halfway, saying that there was a report that was about to be written and could not come, and that he would spend it alone with him another day.

Accompanied by beautiful women, the gentlemen all restrained a little, they only booked a small room, and the seats were not fully occupied. But only a few.

Lu Shang didn’t like excitement, so they just ate quietly and didn’t drink any wine during the banquet.

“The squirrel fish here is pretty good, try it.” Lu Shang took a piece for Li Sui.

“Squirrel fish?” Li Sui asked, “Then is this a squirrel or a fish?”

“You guessed it,” Zuo Chao laughed at him, “You guessed right, brother will drink with you.”

“You guessed it right and didn’t drink.”

Lu Shang smiled lightly and said, “You can drink as much as you want.”

“What I’m waiting for is your words.” Zuo Chao loves wine and feels 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 open his mouth, so he kept hiding under the table and didn’t take it out.

“88, how about a bottle?”

Several people immediately booed, Li Sui went to ask the waiter to open the wine, but no one answered for a long time, so he had to go out to find a wine opener by himself.

“You really take good care of him.” Meng Xinyou couldn’t help but turn her head and said after watching Li Sui go out.

Lu Shang: “Are you jealous?”

Meng Xinyou generously admitted, and said with a smile: “It’s really a bit.”

Although they were brothers and sisters, Meng Xinyou knew something about Lu Shang’s thoughts. Unfortunately, both of them knew that it was impossible, so they only said it as a joke.Meng Xinyou herself is not a hypocritical person. She has a superior family background and a special status. She has had clear goals for her marriage since she was a child.Only occasionally, she couldn’t help but think that if she was born in an ordinary family, the ideal husband would probably be Lu Shang’s, elegant and courteous, low-key and considerate, but it’s a pity that she didn’t have that good luck, Lu Shang’s gentleness is all gave it to someone else.

“Hey, why haven’t you come back yet?” Zuo Chao waited impatiently for the wine.

Lu Shang remembered that Li Sui went to the female soup by mistake the last time he came here, and stood up: “I’ll go find it.”

As soon as he walked to the door, his cell phone rang suddenly, it was Li Sui.

“Don’t move.” Li Sui seemed to be running.

“what happened?”

“Someone is chasing me, with a knife in his hand, it seems that he is coming for me and you,” Li Sui gasped heavily, “I’ll lure him away now…”

Lu Shang’s nerves tensed immediately: “Where are you now?”

“In…the changing room where you helped me organize my clothes last time…”

Lu Shang gave the order: “Stay there and don’t move, hide yourself.”

Several people in the private room realized that the atmosphere was not right, and turned their heads one after another. Zuo Chao stood up: “What’s wrong?”

“In area B of the changing room, the opponent has a knife in his hand.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Zuo Chao had already rushed out with people, Lu Shang was not idle, and Xu Weilan followed closely behind.

As soon as he approached the changing room, he heard a sound of fighting, Zuo Chao rushed over to kick the door open in two steps, and saw a man who looked like a waiter twisting his waist to avoid the chair that Li Sui threw at him.Zuo Chao was born in black boxing. He went up and fell directly over his shoulder and knocked him down. The man who was pinned down knew he was defeated. With a loud roar, he threw the knife in his hand indiscriminately. The direction was actually towards Lu business.

“Lu Shang!” Li Sui rushed over in a hurry, throwing Lu Shang to the ground, the blade of the knife was shining white, and flew over Li Sui’s arm, making a cut, and the sleeve of his shirt was soon dyed red.

“Fuck!” Enraged, Zuo Chao kicked the waiter’s lower body, directly shrivelling him, curled up on the ground and didn’t get up for a long time.Then he ordered two of his subordinates to drag him out: “Fight, come back after finding 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 a lot of blood flowed out. Fortunately, it was cut against the direction of the knife edge. If it was inserted horizontally, don’t say much. Also stab half of the blade into the flesh.

“Xiao Lizi, are you okay?”

“It’s okay.” Li Sui didn’t feel pain, but his whole body was weak. Although there was a lot of blood, it would be better to be more frightened.The moment the knife flew towards Lu Shang, his brain exploded, and the moment he rushed over was almost instinctive.

“Come in first.” Meng Xinyou also came back to her senses at this time, quickly cleared out 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 him in, Zuo Chao came back.Li Sui’s complexion was not very good, Lu Shang was silent for a while, and asked Zuo Chao’s two subordinates to send him to treat the wound first.

As soon as Li Sui left, the expressions of several people changed.

“Did you find out?” Lu Shang’s face darkened.

Zuo Chao felt ashamed, he was always responsible for Li Sui’s safety, and nothing went wrong during this period, so he gradually relaxed his vigilance, he didn’t expect that there would be problems in the villa.

“He sneaked in during the shift shift at night.” Zuo Chao rubbed his fists, the man had already been beaten to a half-mutilation by him, and confessed an unexpected but familiar name.

“It’s Li Yan,” Zuo Chao’s veins burst out, “We have been guarding against 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 invest in Chanzhuang.”

It seemed that the knife was aimed at Li Sui, but in fact it was warning him that Li Yan’s obsession had not been let go, and it seemed that he had to pay for it.The only question is whether he just wants money, or wants to take the opportunity to drag Lu Shang into trouble.

“Chan’s makeup is definitely not clean. Dongyan has been on the right track for a few years. If his shoes get wet, it will not only mean that our efforts over the years have been wasted, 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 attracted everyone’s attention.

“Newly learned about the situation, the Li family is in trouble. 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 loan is due. I listen to me. People under my father said that the top of the bank is preparing to restructure the loan.”

“The sinking of a cargo ship can have such a big impact? With the assets of the Li family, they can’t afford such a loss, right?” Zuo Chao said in surprise.

Lu Shang chuckled, his voice was without warmth: “Of course, because there are other things on board.”

Meng Xinyou nodded in agreement: “I heard that after the boat sank, a layer of dead fish floated on the surface of the river downstream the next day.”

“It takes a lot of contraband to poison the fish. Is Li Jinyao crazy about money?” Zuo Chao said.

“Once the assets of the Li family are finished, it’s only a matter of time before the rest of the property is exposed. In addition to Li Yan’s scandal of being forced to play female stars over the years, it will probably be enough for them to drink a pot by then. In any case, the boat of the Li family is absolutely You can’t step on it, I think this time, he did this kind of thing because he jumped the wall in a hurry.”

“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 in an emergency, comfort them first, and then drag them down slowly.”

“The problem is…” Meng Xinyou looked around, “In whose name are you voting?”

Whoever votes in the name means that in the future, the public will be exposed, and this person will have to pay criminal responsibility.He must have no legal connection with Dong Yan and Lu Shang, and he must be able to plead guilty at that time and not pour dirty water back.

As soon as Meng Xinyou’s words came out, everyone thought of a person at the same time. Considering that this person had just blocked the knife for Lu Shang, it would be too unconscionable to push him out now. Fan analysis: “First of all, we must ensure that this matter has no direct relationship with Dongyan in any way, so everyone here need not think about it. Secondly, this person must know the basics, have a trustworthy character, and will not be bribed by others. Beat it up…”

Lu Shang interrupted him: “You don’t need to say it.”

Several people looked up at him, Lu Shang paused, and said in a deep voice, “I’ll think about it and give you an answer tomorrow.”
