MY BROTHER IN-LAW TURN HUSBAND, VOLUME 3 - Season 9 Episode 83

Once everyone understood the condition, they appreciated Jiang Yuayn’s approach and Lu Lijun’s understanding of the business. It shouldn’t be surprising as he studied in the world’s best university, and Lu’s blood ran in his veins.

When others thought it was over and the decision was clear, Jiang Yuyan spoke again as she looked at Lu Lijun as if she was yet not satisfied with the answer, or it was not yet over for her.

What do you think we should do further, Lu Lijun? I mean, the company’s owner is at fault, but the brand is known and might help to capture the market faster after we take it over entirely.”

Lu Lijun, who was about to sit in his chair, stopped the moment she looked at him again, as he realized she would ask him something else.

“The company which started with wrong intentions and without following any morals should not be our priority. Though the brand is known, and we can get it back on its previous position by investing in it and getting over the complete authority on it, still, the base of it must be so weak. It’s the result of planning the corruption in-depth since the start, and nothing must have left unaffected. To show it’s been successful, the data has manipulated, and they keep getting investors for it.”

Lu Lijun looked at the file in his hands, “From the data given here, if you see carefully, I am sure they didn’t have that half of the base which they claim to have, and in the end, we have to build it again from whatever they have left.”

“Not only one thing, but so many things are there to correct, which is like working for establishing a new company. The only advantage is, the brand is known, but Lu Corporation doesn’t need it. If we start the same product with the same efforts under the subsidiary of Lu Corporation, it would be successful anyways. Instead of repairing the drowned and badly rusted ship found in the sea, it’s good to build the new one with proper planning and new design so it won’t drown, and I am sure Lu Corporation is capable of that.”

Lu Lijun finished his part, and others agreed to what he said, but they still looked at Jiang Yuyan to know her decision. Lu Lijun too waited for her to say something while Lu Jinhai was quiet but inside, he was happy about what was going on.

Sensing the gazes over her, Jiang Yuyan spoke, “We will go with what Lu Lijun suggested,” and looked at Xiao Min, “Anything else?”

“No, boss.”

Everyone understood the meeting was over, and Jiang Yuyan and Lu Jinhai got up from the chair. They left the meeting room with Lu Lijun as the two assistants followed them while others bowed to them as they stood up.

Once they were out, Lu Jinhai instructed, “Yuyan, come to my office.”

“Yes, father,” she replied.

Lu Jinhai looked at Lu Lijun, but before he could say anything, Lu Lijun spoke, “I want to go to elder brother’s office.”

Lu Jinhai agreed and left as Jiang Yuyan followed him.

Xiao Min spoke, “Let me lead the way.”

“No need,” saying, Lu Lijun left to go to the President’s office while Xiao Min followed him but maintained the distance.

When Lu Lijun reached in front of the President’s office, the two receptionists were surprised to see a new person suddenly entering there as it was not allowed without getting an appointment.

“Excuse me, sir,” one for the receptionist called.

Lu Lijun turned to look at them, and they thought why this man looked so familiar, but before they could say anything, Xiao Min arrived there and stood looking at Lu Lijun.

“Fourth young master, apology,” and went to open the office door for Lu Lijun.

Not saying a word, Lu Lijun entered the office, and Xiao Min closed the door as he stepped towards the receptionist, who was surprised to hear Xiao Min called the new man the fourth young master.

“Is he really….” the receptionist asked.

Xiao Min nodded, “Hmm. Don’t let anyone enter the room and make sure not to disturb him.”

The receptionist understood Xiao Min’s instruction, and Xiao Min left to go to his office, which was on the same floor, next to the President’s office.

Lu Lijun entered the office and looked around. He noticed, just like his elder brother’s bedroom in the mansion, nothing had changed in his office too. Each and everything was kept just as it is that not even the pen holder on the table was changed.

He went to the table and looked at the chair where Lu Qiang used to sit, and whenever Lu Lijun was in the office, Lu Qiang used to give all his attention to his younger brother despite how busy he was.

His brother, who never smiled at others but the moments he saw his younger brother, the smile would show up on his lips the next moment.

That rarely shown pleasant smile, that sight full of love, was what Lu Lijun missed. He went to the chair as he touched it at the handrest, where his brother used to rest his arms, leaning back into the chair whenever he was tired.

The two photo frames on the table were still there; one had the picture of Lu Qiang and Jiang Yuyan together while the other one had Lu Lijun in it with his brother.

He went to the massive floor to the ceiling glass window on the backside of the chair, where Lu Qiang often used to stand staring outside for long, and Lu Lijun stood there just like him as his hands tucked in his pant’s pockets.

——–

Meanwhile, in Lu Jinhai’s office…

Lu Jinhai sat in his chair as he instructed Jiang Yuyan to have a seat.

“I want to talk to you about Lu Lijun,” Lu Jinhai informed.

“Yes, father.”

“I don’t know what’s going on in his mind. I mean, if I ask him to do something, he obeys it. I ask him to come to the office, he did, and if I ask him to do something else, he will do it too. Wasn’t it supposed to be normal if he said no and rebelled against me? His obeying the things quietly makes me worried.”

Jiang Yuyan listened to him, but there was no change in her seeing the worried man in front of her.

“What do you think is in his mind?” Lu Jinhai asked.

“I am not sure, but let’s just wait and watch,” Jiang Yuyan replied casually.

“I am worried he will go back,” said Lu Jinhai.

Jiang Yuyan agreed, “Hmm, will.”

“Are you not worried?” Lu Jinhai asked, worry evident on his face.

“No use of worrying, father. He is not a kid now, so forcing things on him will make it worse. He was back just a while ago; let me take his time.”

“What if he goes back?”

“Then we can’t do anything,” she replied.

Lu Jinhai sighed deeply, and Jiang Yuyan thought to assure her father-in-law with something.

“Father, wherever he goes, one day he has to come back home. So don’t worry,” she said.

“I hope what you said would happen.”

Talking for a while with Lu Jinhai, Jiang Yuyan left his office and went to hers.

The receptionist got up and opened the door for Jiang Yuyan. The moment she entered the office, she saw someone standing near the window, as his back faced towards her while staring outside.

Though she knew who the person was, for a moment, she thought that it was Lu Qiang who stood there and stared at him.

Sensing someone entered the office, Lu Lijun turned his face to look at the office’s door behind him and saw Jiang Yuyan staring at him.

The moment their sights met, she looked somewhere else as she knew she was mistaken; that was Lu Lijun and not Lu Qiang.

Both of the brothers had similar builds, styles, and behavior. If one looked at Lu Lijun from behind, they would mistake Lu Lijun for Lu Qiang.

The way he walked, sat, and even stood near the window, it was all the same style as Lu Qiang, and why not, he spent his childhood observing and admiring his elder brother.

Lu Lijun’s facial features shared similarities with Lu Qiang, but it was not that identical to make anyone mistake him for his elder brother.

As Jiang Yuyan averted her sight from him, thinking she was mistaken, Lu Lijun too averted his sight and resumed what he was doing, staring outside of the window.

Just then, there was a knock on the door, and the receptionist opened the door.

Jiang Yuyan turned to look at her, and she informed, “Mr. Yu wish to meet the president.”

“Hmm,” approvingly, Jiang Yuyan sat on the chair paired with the couch, while nothing affected Lu Lijun as if no one existed for him around in that closed place.

The receptionist allowed Mr. Yu and he entered the room. Jiang Yuyan instructed him to sit on the couch opposite her.

She was aware of why he was there but waited for him to talk.

Mr. Yu, one of the old, trusted, and high ranked employees of the company, felt embarrassed with his foolish and careless act. With his head lowered, he sat on the couch.

“I am here to show my gratitude to president Lu,” the man informed.

“The man who uses a woman just to get benefit out of it by using her father’s position can never be any good to a woman,” Jiang Yuyan commented.

Mr. Yu understood what Jiang Yuyan meant and nodded, “I understand, President Lu.”
