General Manager's Office.
"Go and hand this document over to Vice President Liu, he will arrange for us to contact Liang Binngtian."
"Yes, but President Cheng …" You won't let it go so easily, right? "
"Don't worry about her. Do as I say."
"Got it."
Just as Lu Jinghuan finished giving orders, a ruckus came from outside the door, and in the next second, his office door was opened by someone. Cheng Wanzhen and her secretary were standing outside the door.
The assistant quickly bent down and apologized, "I'm sorry President Lu, I couldn't stop you, so …"
Lu Jinghuan handed the documents over to Hee Mu: "You can leave first."
"Yes, President Lu." Hee Mu took the documents and walked out of the office. As he passed by Cheng Wanzhen, he bowed and signalled to him with a nod, then ordered his secretary to go out as well. When all the people who were not related to him had left, Cheng Wanzhen entered Lu Jinghuan's office and closed the door.
Lu Jinghuan looked up at the incoming Cheng Wanzhen, and then lowered his head to continue working on the task at hand: What business do you have with me?
"How do you plan to talk to Liang Binngtian?"
"This is my problem, I do not need President Cheng to worry."
"What if I become your middleman and let you meet with Liang Binngtian?"
Cheng Wanzhen said as she stood opposite of Lu Jinghuan.
Lu Jinghuan's hands paused slightly, and after pausing for a few seconds, he raised his head and looked at Cheng Wanzhen: "What benefits do you want from me?"
"In the end, we are family too. Why do you have to be so clear about each other?" Cheng Wanzhen felt uncomfortable from Lu Jinghuan's overly direct words, and the smile on his face could not stay on his face.
Lu Jinghuan laughed, then lowered his head and signed the document: "Even brothers have to account clearly, furthermore you and I are not really related, so instead of discussing whether or not our family should be split up, let alone your conditions, this way we won't waste each other's time."
Cheng Wanzhen's expression changed, but quickly recovered back to normal. Looking at Lu Jinghuan who was in charge of all this, he laughed: "Since you insist on dividing the spoils so clearly, then I'll just say it straight off, I want to take down the piece of land in the ferry village with you."
Lu Jinghuan laughed: "Is it because you can arrange for me to meet with Liang Binngtian?"
"Of course not." Cheng Wanzhen handed a folder in her hands to Lu Jinghuan: "After you see it, you will understand that my requirements are not excessive."
Lu Jinghuan glanced at the folder, and then smiled as he received it. He flipped through a few pages, and his black eyes slightly narrowed.
"There are a few people who don't know what kind of methods Liang Binngtian has used to make his fortune these past few years, but because he can't get the evidence, no one can do anything to him." Cheng Wanzhen pointed to the document in Lu Jinghuan's hand: This is the proof that I sent people to look for, it is something that the people who have interacted with Liang Binngtian previously gave me, with this, Liang Binngtian will not lower his head.
Lu Jinghuan pondered for a moment, then raised his head to look at Cheng Wanzhen: "Since you already have evidence of Liang Binngtian's crimes, why don't you directly use it to make a deal with him, and instead cooperate with me?"
Cheng Wanzhen laughed, "You and I both know who Liang Binngtian is. If I were to take this and go find him by myself, let alone being unable to take down that piece of land, even my safety would become a problem. I'm not that foolish to come knocking on your door to die."
"Then why did you look for me?"
"With someone to discuss it with, things will be much easier, won't they?"
Lu Jinghuan laughed and did not answer.
Cheng Wanzhen walked closer to Lu Jinghuan and leaned on the desk, looking at him with a smile that was not a smile: "I know you don't like me as your stepmother, but I have already been in the Lu Family for more than a year and have become slightly closer to your father. Even if you don't care about me, but for your father's sake, we should still get along well."
"It does sound reasonable." Lu Jinghuan got up from the chair, took his suit jacket and walked towards the door: "But I have never been easily persuaded by anyone, especially when my stepmother has other intentions."
"Lu Jinghuan!" Cheng Wanzhen's face changed, and she immediately called out to Lu Jinghuan.
Lu Jinghuan's footsteps stuttered, his lips curled slightly, but he did not turn around to look at Cheng Wanzhen: "Is there anything else, stepmother?"
"I've already said all that I wanted to say, why didn't you give me a chance?"
"Mrs Lu, such words can easily make people misunderstand, what's more, without me at Lu Family, this Mrs Lu of yours would be more at ease."
"You know that's not what I mean."
"You shouldn't be too greedy, Mrs Lu."
"You're not greedy, do you dare to say that you've never thought of taking your father's place?"
"I am his own son, so anything I do is natural. But you are different." Lu Jinghuan put on his suit jacket and tied the buttons one by one: "Also, I'm not my father, so I don't like women who are too active."
The last sentence, made Cheng Wanzhen so angry that her face flushed red.
