Chapter 1585: The Press Conference



Lu Lijun took Jiang Yuyan to the president's office and settled her into the chair behind the desk. He pecked her on the forehead and said, "I will be back soon."

"Be careful with their tricky questions," Jiang Yuyan warned as she referred to the press conference. "They will target you with today's news more than the news about you being the new president of Lu Corporation."

"They will get what they are here for," Lu Lijun assured her. "Don't worry."

She nodded and watched him leave, a light, pleasant smile playing on her lips. His retreating back view caught her attention. His wide shoulders, look like ready to bear any kind of weight, his back view demonstrated the utter confidence he possessed and the assurance that he was able to face any challenges that would come their way.

Lu Lijun reached the grand open hall at the base of the company head office where all the reporters were waiting for him. The news of his appointment as the new president had already made its way out and was a trending topic in the news.

Lu Lijun walked in, followed by Noah and Xiao Min. Everyone had their eyes fixed on the handsome young man who looked like he possessed all the power in his hands, while others seemed insignificant in comparison. Though young, his expressions and persona were entirely dominating and intimidating.

Lu Lijun stepped onto the small platform that served as a stage and sat in the center chair, while Xiao Min sat next to him, representing Jiang Yuyan as he was her assistant. Noah stood behind Lu Lijun's chair.

Lu Jinhai arrived there as well. Since Jiang Yuyan was not attending the conference, someone of high position was needed to be there by Lu Lijun's side. They didn't wish to put Jiang Yuyan to face useless questions. The presence of the chairman himself was a strong support to his

son.

Xiao Min announced to the reporters that they could now start asking their questions.

"Mister Lu Lijun, on behalf of all the journalists here, I congratulate you on your appointment as President of Lu Corporation," one of the journalists began.

"Exactly how a family should feel," Lu Lijun answered. For him, calling her family meaning she was his wife.

"Is she being forced to resign so the Lu Family can make you president?" another journalist asked.

"Forced?" Lu Lijun chuckled. "This implies that you, despite being journalists, have zero knowledge about what kind of a person President Lu is and the power she holds. No one in Lu Corporation, nor any outsiders, can force her to do what she doesn't wish to. She holds the greatest power in Lu Corporation. This should clarify things for you all."

"Does that mean she resigned willingly and handed over her position to you?"

"I don't think I said otherwise."

Seeing they can't get anything from Lu Lijun, another journalist turned to Lu Jinhai, "Chairman Lu, what do you feel about your son becoming the president?"

"I have high expectations of him, and he has proven his worth over the past month, assuring us all that he is ready to take on this responsibility," Lu Jinhai answered. "I am, of course, proud of him."

"About President Lu, what do you think? Do you support her resignation. Chairman Lu?"

"As Lu Lijun said, no one can force her to do anything. Making Lu Lijun the president was her own decision, and she is the one preparing him to lead this company. Under her guidance, Lu Lijun has learned a lot. Just like me, she has high expectations of him and trusts him immensely." Lu Jinhai answered, his demeanour calm and composed.

One journalist turned to Lu Lijun, "Mister Lu Lijun, what are your plans after you officially take over as the president?"

As more questions continued, Lu Lijun answered with sincerity, making everyone aware of his goals and capabilities. The conference trend entirely into professional question answer sessions until one journalist finally jumped to the most trending topic of the day.

One journalist finally turned to Xiao Min, "Why is President Lu not here to attend this conference?"

"President Lu has always disliked attending such conferences where the questions tend to be redundant. She finds her time priceless and is busy sorting important matters before her official resignation. Also, she believes Lu Lijun and Chairman Lu can answer everything that you wish to know," Xiao Min responded.
