Lu Jinhai left the Lu Corporations along with Yu Fan after she readied the things Lu Jinhai asked. Soon they reached one corporate building which belonged to Qin industries, one of the rivals of Lu Corporations.
Lu Jinhai went straight to the President of that company, an elder son of the Qin family, a man in his mid-thirties. Everyone knew about Chairman Lu, and Yu Fan had already arranged the meeting with the President.
"Welcome, Chairman Lu."
The man welcomed Lu Jinhai when he entered the President's office. Lu Jinhai just went towards where the man stood near the couch and shook hands with him.
The two sat on the couch while both of their assistants stood on one side.
The man smiled, "How come Chairman Lu thought to bless my office with his presence?"
Lu Jinhai, who looked cold, smirked, "President Qin's efforts forced me that I couldn't stop myself from coming here and reward for the efforts."
"Reward? It seems like my efforts paid off," president Qin commented, taking Lu Jinhai's words lightly.
"I hope you would like the reward," said Lu Jinhai.
Hearing it, Yu Fan passed one file to president Qin's assistant, who stood beside her at some distance.
Accepting the file, the assistant passed it to his boss. President Qin opened the file curiously, and the next moment the smile on his lips disappeared that didn't go unnoticed by Lu Jinhai.
The man controlled his displeased emotions and brought back the light smile on his lips as if he was not affected by seeing what was in the file.
"Seems like Chairman Lu went to a great extent to reward me like this," said President Qin.
"My efforts should match with President Qin's efforts, or it would be useless," Lu Jinhai replied.
The man could say nothing as there was nothing he could do. He looked surprised.
"Seems like my reward surprised you," Lu Jinhai commented.
This time president Qin couldn't hold that smile on his lips.
"Well, it's not like chairman Lu will let it slide, so I have to accept it," he said, maintaining his dignity.
"I think president Qin relied on the other person's power too much that he failed to realize the power of Lu Corporation," said Lu Jinhai as he warned, "Getting your dream project out from Qin industries is like fracturing one arm and wounding head and leg with minor scratches, but the next time if something like this happens, I will make sure to reward by cutting the head."
"I will make sure to pay Lu Corporations back for this," the man said, trying to be calm as much as possible though inside he was angry.
"First, try to cover this loss of Qin industries in minimum one year, and then you can be free to pay me back. As a senior in the business world, I hope I could give you a proper lesson this time," Lu Jinhai said, he looked calm and composed.
Being one of the talented and successful businessmen, nothing was impossible for Lu Jinhai. Still, he decided to lay low after his family's young generation took power in hand.
"I will remember it," the man assured, calmly but the sarcasm hidden in it.
"I will take leave now. I believe president Qin would be busy after this to think about anything else," came the sarcastic reply from Lu Jinhai as he stood up and turned to leave.
The man named President Qin could only grit his teeth silently.
President Qin's assistant opened the door for Lu Jinhai, where he stopped and spoke again, "You better stay away from outsiders. It's for your own good. If it turns into harming my family, I will make sure to pay everyone in the worst way. You can ask your father what I am capable of. Also, you must have heard what happened with that man last night."
Lu Jinhai reffered to the man that Lu Lijun beat the previous night.
Lu Jinhai left. President Qin stood up and threw the file in hands on the floor where every page inside it spread on the floor.

Lu Jinhai returned to the Lu corporation. As he went to his office, he asked, "Is Lu Lijun in his office?"
Yu Fan confirmed it and informed, "The fourth young master is there. Should I ask for him?"
"No need. I'll go there."
Lu Jinhai knocked on Lu Lijun's office door and entered. Lu Lijun was busy with his laptop, but seeing his father, he stopped and stood up.
Lu Jinhai signaled him to sit and sat opposite his son. He didn't fail to notice Lu Lijun was using his laptop instead of one from the office. He knew his son and could guess he was up to something but might not want to share it.
"Yuyan is not well, so I wish you to handle the new project you assisted her on," said Lu Jinhai.
"I will think about it," Lu Lijun replied.
Lu Jinhai didn't insist and asked, "Is there something you want to ask or tell me?"
"Nothing, father."
Just then, there was a knock on the door, and Yu Fan entered with few files, "I urgently need Mr. Chairman's signature on it."
Lu Jinhai nodded, and she kept the files in front of him, indicating where to sign one by one.
Lu Lijun noticed the name on the files, and one of them was about the project he assisted Jiang Yuyan.
He picked up the file and asked, "What's this about?"
"The project needs to be started as soon as possible, so President Lu asked me to get these files to her. To proceed further, we need Mr. Chairman's signature," Yu Fan asked.
"Didn't we have some time left for it?" Lu Lijun asked.
"Yes, but it has been changed now due to certain conditions," Yu Fan informed as she was ready to collect the files.
"Keep it here. I'll look into it," Lu Lijun instructed.
Lu Jinhai finished signing the rest of the files and passed it to Yu Fan.
She looked at Lu Jinhai as if asking what to do about Lu Lijun's instruction, and he replied, "Let him do it."
Leaving the project file with Lu Lijun, Yu Fan bowed the two and left.
"Are you sure you want to work on it?" Lu Jinhai asked.
"Even if I say no, I don't think I can avoid it," Lu Lijun commented as if he was forced to accept it, but only he knew why he changed the decision that he didn't wish to accept.
She was hurt, so how could he let her work in such a condition.
Lu Jinhai stood up, "Work hard then."
Lu Lijun nodded, and Lu Jinhai left. He was happy that his stubborn son started to change and accept things.
'Being with family is changing him slowly,' Lu Jinhai thought and stepped out of Lu Lijun's office.
------
After working on the project along with Noah and Xiao Min for the entire day in the office, Lu Lijun didn't go home.
Xiao Min and Lu Lijun acted professionally and didn't show on the face about what Lu Lijun asked him about and how he witnessed Lu Lijun and Noah acting recklessly while beating a man without any hesitation.
In office, work was the priority, and in the absence of Jiang Yuyan, they had more responsibilities.
"Are you planning to make your office your home?" Noah asked when he saw Lu Lijun was still working when the office hours were over, and everyone was leaving.
"Hmm," Lu Lijun nodded and focused on his work.
"I'll give you a company then," Noah lay down on the couch in the office and mumbled, "Anyways, you won't let me see what you are doing."
Lu Lijun was busy getting information about a few people and trying to connect the links. He searched about the incident just after Lu Qiang's accident in which it involved the deaths of a few people that included Xi Cheng and one woman, who was involved in trafficking.
After spending a lot more time reading it, Lu Lijun finally closed it and looked at the time. It was past dinner time. He woke up Noah, who fell asleep on the sofa.
"Let's have dinner," Lu Lijun instructed.
"Thank god you finally pitied my stomach," commenting Noah stood up.
They had dinner outside and spent some time talking about random things. Time passed to midnight, and both thought to leave.
Just as Lu Lijun was about to sit in the car in the parking lot of the restaurant, Noah asked, "Are you going to the hospital?"
"Why would I?" Lu Lijun countered and opened the car door.
Who could stop Noah, and he spoke again, "Wasn't it the reason you spent time outside so you can go to the hospital at midnight before going home?"
Lu Lijun sighed and turned to look at his friend, "I was waiting to get a call from Jake as he would be free from his work. Damn, that idiot didn't call. I was wondering if I should call him," Lu Lijun pulled out his cellphone. "Let's talk together."
"Have a nice chat," saying, Noah sat in his car and left.
Smiling, Lu Lijun sat in his car and left. He decided to go to the hospital late in the night as everyone would be asleep till then. He would check on her silently and then leave.
When Lu Lijun reached the hospital, San Zemin's and his two men were there. They bowed to Lu Lijun and allowed him go towards the patient's room.
