Chapter 2216 The Mother-in-Law Arrives

The woman was taken aback, frowned slightly, and looked calmly at Lu Chengwen.

Lu Chengwen said, "I can handle our own affairs."

The woman smiled politely: "Cheng Wen, I know you care about your reputation, but in business, reputation is actually the least important thing. In any matter, prudence is the most important thing."

Leng Qingqiu suddenly said, "Auntie, just now, we had a meeting, and we've already dealt with those four small groups."

The woman was surprised and turned to look at Huo Leiting.

Huo Leiting seemed surprised as well: "It's done?!"

At this moment, Jiang Shihhan pushed open the door to the reception room: "President Lu, Presidents Zhang, Wang, Li, and Zhao request an audience."

Lu Chengwen shouted angrily, "What are they doing here? Can't they see I'm meeting with guests? Tell them to get lost!"

The woman said, "Are they the presidents of those four small groups? Let them in. I'll have Lei Ting talk to them; it'll be good for you."

Lu Chengwen put on an act, appearing very unwilling: "Isn't this just making things worse? We were having a nice chat, and they insisted on coming."

The woman said to Jiang Shih-han, "Please invite them in."

Jiang Shihhan looked at Lu Chengwen, who said, "Listen to Auntie, let them in."

The four CEOs finally couldn't hold back any longer.

Having failed to force his way out in the meeting room, what's this? People from the Huo Group are here to see President Lu!?

We'll have to see! I don't believe it!

So, under the guise of apologizing, the four of them insisted on applying to come in and meet President Lu.

As soon as they entered, all four of them felt their legs cramp.

It's not Huo Wenting, it's Huo Leiting!

Has President Lu's network of connections reached this level?!

Could it be that his marriage to the Huo family is real?

The four of them secretly rejoiced that their attempt to force the issue had failed. If it had succeeded, President Lu could have simply put in a word with the Huo family, and they wouldn't have to work anymore.

This is truly a case of the fox borrowing the tiger's power.

The four men had already been dealt with by Lu Chengwen, and now that they saw Huo Leiting, they were terrified and their legs were trembling.

Mr. Zhang burst into tears as soon as he opened his mouth: "President Lu, I was confused! I'm not human! I was wrong! Please, President Lu, give me another chance, for the sake of the many years I've served you..."

Then, General Manager Wang, General Manager Li, and General Manager Zhao all began to blame themselves, apologize, and ask for forgiveness.

Lu Chengwen looked extremely annoyed: "Hey, hey, I have guests here, what are you doing? Okay, okay!"

Lu Chengwen suddenly roared, "Take them all!"

The four people immediately stopped crying.

Lu Chengwen said sternly, "I already said we're meeting guests. Aren't you ashamed of yourselves?!"

Huo Leiting and the woman exchanged a surprised glance.

Lu Chengwen said angrily, "Do you know why I gave you face and let you off the hook today?"

General Manager Zhang: "General Manager Lu... is sentimental."

Mr. Wang: "Mr. Lu, you're so kind!"

Mr. Li: "Mr. Lu, you...you have a kind heart."

General Manager Zhao: "General Manager Lu is such a wonderful person!"

Lu Chengwen retorted angrily, "I'm just afraid my father will be heartbroken!"

Lu Chengwen stood up, looking at them as he walked:

"You are the founding heroes who fought alongside my father. No one can compare to you in terms of merit!"

"But look at what you've done today! Hmm! When I'm not here, you make things difficult for President Leng, and now that I'm back, you're even more coercing and threatening him."

"I am both your leader and your junior! If you have any complaints about me, can't you talk about it behind my back? Why do you have to bring it to the board meeting and embarrass me?!"

“My dad is getting old. If he knew that his old brothers and buddies had made things so difficult for me, and that the Dasheng Group was falling apart, wouldn’t he be heartbroken? How would you all have the face to visit my father in the future? How would you have the face to play mahjong and eat hot pot at my house?!”

The four people burst into tears and apologized profusely.

Those words were spoken from the bottom of their hearts, heart-wrenching, deeply moving, and profoundly touching.

Lu Chengwen sighed, "Alright! They're all my uncles. It'll be the same from now on. We'll work together and make money together. When you have time, go visit my dad. He misses you. It's been so long since you last came to visit."

These people suddenly had a change of heart.

After years of hard work, this situation has brought a flood of emotions and self-reproach.

Lu Chengwen offered a few words of comfort and then had Leng Qingqiu escort them out.

After they left, Lu Chengwen spread his hands dejectedly: "I'm sorry to have made you laugh, uncles and aunts. These seniors, apart from me, no one can keep them in check."

The woman was surprised and looked at Huo Leiting.

Huo Leiting pouted and nodded with an appreciative look.

Leng Qingqiu was also smiling.

His smile remained restrained and polite, yet a clear sense of pride and defiance was conveyed to the woman.

"President Lu's control over the Dasheng Group is beyond what most people can imagine. He doesn't even care about those four small groups. It's just that my uncle and aunt have been alarmed, which surprises me."

Leng Qingqiu's words were starting to take on a sharp edge, and Lu Chengwen quickly responded with a smile:

"The minor issue has been resolved. In short, please rest assured, Uncle and Aunt, the land reclamation port project will definitely proceed smoothly. At the very least, there won't be any problems on Dasheng's side."

Huo Leiting smiled as he looked at his wife.

The woman nodded thoughtfully, then smiled slightly: "President Lu is indeed young and promising. President Leng is too."

"Thank you," Leng Qingqiu said. "If Uncle and Aunt aren't in a hurry, how about I book a restaurant? It's rare for us to get together, so let's have a meal together, and Cheng Wen and I can learn a few more tricks from you."

Upon hearing Leng Qingqiu's order to leave, Huo Leiting's smile was quite amusing.

The woman was somewhat displeased, but she didn't lose her composure. She stood up and calmly said, "I've bothered you for so long, it's time to take my leave. Since Mr. Lu has spoken clearly and handled things well, I'm relieved. Take care, Mr. Lu, and Mr. Leng... take care too."

……

Inside the car.

Huo Leiting laughed and said, "I told you, he's a talented person, but you wouldn't believe me."

The woman, who had been looking out the window, suddenly turned and stared at Huo Leiting:

“It’s no small matter for a woman to be in power. I have to make sure Wenting is safe and sound. I am her biological mother.”

"Look at what you're saying, I'm not her biological father?"

The woman snorted: "With so many children, how can anyone know which one you favor?"

Huo Leiting laughed: "Is this a matter of favoritism? It's a matter of who can safeguard the family business. Whether it's a girl or a boy, whoever has the ability can shoulder the great responsibility. People say that a dynasty lasts for a hundred years, while a clan lasts for a thousand. In ancient times, emperors took turns, but no matter how dynasties changed, those great clans still stood firm. Relying on favoritism to choose an heir would have been finished long ago."

The woman looked out the window: "This Lu Chengwen... he's got some skills. It's just that his background isn't good enough, otherwise, he should be a big shot."

Huo Leiting laughed: "He's not a big shot in your eyes. When he goes out, he's all high and mighty. With a wave of his hand, the earth shakes here in the North."

The woman's expression was grave: "If you want to marry my daughter... you'll have to get past me first."
