Chapter 183 - 183 Lixiang Went Missing?!

"Grandfather, you shouldn't eat this. Have other food." Luo Lixi said as she took the plate and put it before Sheng Ruming.

The man forced out a smile and began to eat. 

Luo Qintian gave a wry smile. He said, "My taste buds aren't working clearly…. That's why I feel every dish has many faults." 

Luo Lixi smiled and said, "After you recover, I will make more for you." 

Sheng Ruming put another piece in his mouth and silently chewed. His tongue felt like it wanted to escape. After he finished, he decided to do something else.

"Grandfather, your hand isn't moving. Please have some even if you don't have an appetite." 

The man put down his chopsticks and began to put  food after food in Luo Qintian's bowl. 

The old man turned at Luo Lixi. But she was busy fiddling with her rice.

"Xixi."

"Ah, yes." Luo Lixi stopped being absent-minded and replied.

"Come to the company with me. The CEO's post is empty now…" 

"Alright." Luo Lixi's eyes dropped when she heard. She felt like she would become super busy from now on.

Sheng Ruming stared at Luo Qintian but the old man didn't say anything.

Luo Qintian saw nobody was eating anything at that time as the other two were invested in their own thoughts.

"Cough! Let's finish breakfast. Also, we will have to go to the company." The old man said.

"Hmm." Luo Lixi nodded. 

Sheng Ruming finished everything Luo Lixi had made. 'It isn't something I would eat in the normal times,  but for her everything is okay.' 

The man saw as Luo Lixi wiped her lips and stood up in urgency.

Thus, in ten minutes, the breakfast ended. Aunt Zhu stared at the dining table and felt puzzled as nearly everything was untouched.

The lady hurriedly walked up to the second floor and in less ten minutes, she came down. 

Then Sheng Ruming saw Luo Lixi was wearing a business suit from head to toe. She walked beside the old man. 

'Let's go.' 

Luo Qintian nodded and started to walk towards the exit. While following the old man, she waved her hand at him and signaled him to call her later.

Sheng Ruming nodded and saw as she went away with the old man without looking back.

"Boss, do we also have to still stay here?"  Xiao Huang went beside him and asked. 

Sheng Ruming stopped smiling and turned at him. Then he said, "A few more days…" Then he suddenly widened his eyes as if he just remembered something. 

The man turned around and saw Aunt Zhu, as well as other people beside the dining table, busy doing their work. 

Thus Sheng Ruming motioned him to walk with him to a little distance. 

"Search about Luo Lixiang's whereabouts." Sheng Ruming ordered in a grave tone but this time it was he who became dumbfounded.

"Boss, actually, I knew you would ask. I have people follow him but…"

"But what?" Sheng Ruming frowned. 

"But, suddenly, he went missing." Xiao Huang said as he hung his head downwards.

"Went missing?!" Sheng Ruming asked again to confirm if he had heard correctly.

Xiao Huang nodded and explained, "Two people were following him. We also installed a mini tracker in his car. But he drove very fast and went to a remote place. There was so much fog that our people couldn't follow anymore. The tracker also stopped working…"

Sheng Ruming was deep in thought. "Continue to search for him. If you find his whereabouts,  immediately notify me." The man thought deeply and said, "If possible… catch him. Nobody should know that it's us."

Xiao Huang nodded his head and turned around to leave. Sheng Ruming saw the back figure of the man and felt like he was missing something.

At the Luo Corporation…

All the staff were busy doing their work. But the fifth floor wasn't.

"Today, elder Luo has called all of us to come here. There must be something very important." One person said.

"Of course, there is.  I heard that he is unwell. After all, he is aging and the health isn't so good." Another person remarked.

"It was really surprising. I thought the lady of the Luo house would become CEO yet the inexperienced one became."

"It was expected. After all, he is the grandson…" The two men talked. Currently all the people in the meeting room were discussing.

Today, Luo Qintian had decided to hold a meeting of the board of directors. He intended to make clear to everyone that from this day, which person's leadership should they follow.

"Hey! That brat only relied on that butler Huo's ability. Or the company would have lost half of its reputation already!"

"It's true. Hehe! Will elder Luo announce any major decision in the meeting today?"

"Can be... " 

The two men were talking without minding others. All the people were discussing something of that sort.

At the entrance. 

The two guards were keeping an eye around the front area. Many other guards were checking the surroundings. 

"Today, the old boss of the company is coming. We must be very careful. We can't let any mishaps happen." Earlier, Zhao Yichen instructed the people who were responsible for the company's security.

So now, all the people were keeping an eye around the whole area.

At last one car. Nobody failed to recognise. It was way too familiar, Luo Qintian's car.

"Elder Luo has come!" One guard went to open the door. 

Soon, a cane came out and heavily touched the ground. Then the whole man slowly stepped down from the car. Then, the man turned around and waited for Luo Lixi to come out.

The lady stared at the building. Then, she adjusted her expression and stepped out finally.

"Ah! Miss Luo!" An office staff who was going to the company, stopped in her tracks and exclaimed. Luo Lixi just nodded and then turned towards her grandfather.

"Let's go." Both started to walk inside. Zhao Yichen  followed them as well. He was recruited by Luo Qintian again. They came to the fifth floor. 

The old man came before a door and slowly entered the meeting room. In that instant, all the chattering died down and also the people stood up.

"Elder Luo!" All of them sang in a unison. Luo Lixi smiled wryly at that.

'In the past, all of this sounded very normal but now… ' She wondered just how many people were sincere in their hearts and how  many were hiding in sheep clothings.

When Luo Lixi entered,  every person had a different reaction. She smiled at them and followed behind her grandfather.

As the old man sat on the main seat, others also sat down. Luo Lixi sat on the leather chair beside him.

"Isn't it supposed to be Luo Lixiang's?!" A man murmured subconsciously. Luo Qintian just snorted and the man sealed his lips tightly.

"All the people are here…" The old man glanced around the room and said, "Today, I will make some facts clear. Do listen with all your attention."

All the men in the room sat straight while some even adjusted their sitting style. They expectantly stared at the old face.

Some people who always couldn't keep quiet without making any trouble, even had the urge to ask Luo Lixi about the recent rumours.

The lady felt their gazes at her but she continued to stare at her fingers.

"From today… Luo Lixi will be your CEO. One and only, the biggest shareholder of this company…"

Boom~ 

The various old and middle aged men and women felt like a thunder just came from the clean sky and made them dumb

"Did I hear something wrong?!" A woman in her late forties asked the person sitting beside her.

"No, madam Wang." The man replied. Somehow, his voice trembled a little.

Then, the woman stared at Luo Lixi and felt like she should say something in this regard.

"I have something to say, Elder Luo."

"Yes?" Luo Qintian glared at the woman. She didn't waver and continued. 

"If you make her the biggest shareholder, she will have the whole power to make any decision or changes to the company in the future. I don't think Young Miss Luo Lixi should be given full authority yet. She's very young…"

When the other directors and executives heard, they echoed as well.

"Yes, madam Wu is right."

"I agree with her."

"Elder Luo, miss is only around 25 years or so. She shouldn't be given the full authority yet. It's such a big company and if any mishaps happen… who will take responsibility?!" A man named Luo Tiankong stood up and said with an aggrieved tone.

Luo Lixi felt like she became a total joker in that instant. Luo Tiankong continued to speak, "Moreover, there is also Luo Lixiang. Such a big decision and yet he's not here…"

Luo Qintian heavily hit the floor with his cane, clearly furious. 'Are they treating me as blind or what?!'
