Young Brother-in-law Is Now My Husband - Chapter 681

Chapter 681 Time To Save The Business...

The late-night after the dinner, Jiang Yuyan noticed Lu Chen was going to the gallery on the first floor alone and he looked tense. Every day at the time of the breakfast or dinner, Jiang Yuyan noticed that uncle Lu Chen was unusually silent, and he didn't even eat properly. 

She could guess what the reason might be and went behind him to the gallery. Lu Chen was standing alone, looking out at the sky blankly. It was the first time Jiang Yuyan would talk to him other than normal talk in the home. She hardly had any conversation with him.

"Uncle!" Jiang Yuyan called him as she stood behind him a few steps away.

Lu Chen turned to look at her and greeted her with a smile because he didn't want to show her that he was stressed out and surrounded by so many worries.

"Yes, dear." 

"Uncle looked stressed out these days," Jiang Yuyan commented.

"It's nothing. I am just a bit tired. I would be fine after getting good sleep," said Lu Chen.

Jiang Yuyan understood that the uncle didn't want to worry her and directly came to the point. "I know you are stressed out with the things in the Lu Corporation."

Giving out a deep sigh, Lu Chen nodded, "Hmm!"

"Everything would be fine," Jiang Yuyan tried to comfort him.

 "Everything is being messed up and seems difficult to handle. I am worried what will I answer to elder brother if he sees his hard work of so many years went in other's hands."

Lu Chen didn't share his worries with anyone, but as Jiang Yuyan herself came to him, he thought to express himself.

"Hmm! I heard they are trying to get someone in Lu Qiang's position and father's too."

"I am worried about that too. If they challenge elder brother's position, claiming he is in a vegetative state and gets the hold of Chairman and president's chair too, then we will lose Lu corporation."

"How about you get Lu Qiang's position and later we can manage to keep father's position as it is?" Jiang Yuyan suggested.

"It's not that easy as they have so many things to challenge against me, also they have stronger candidates. Even if I manage to get the position, to control them all we need someone like Lu Qiang. Your uncle is old and I don't want to delude myself thinking I can handle it when I know I might not."

"I talked to Lu Feng today but….."

Lu Chen continued where Jiang Yuyan stopped, "He must have said no."

Jiang Yuyan nodded and Lu Chen gave out a deep sigh as feeling regretful, "My two sons, when this family needs them the most, both don't want to take responsibility. What can be worse for any father?"

"Brother Lu Han?" Jiang Yuyan asked even though she didn't want Lu Han to take Lu Qiang's position. Although he did nothing extreme, for her, he was the one who betrayed her husband.

"He didn't want to do it and went back to handle the business in the village."

As Lu Chen said it, Jiang Yuyan felt better, thinking Lu Han still had his conscience alive.

Lu Chen continued, "Soon there will be a board meeting and they will take advantage of the elder brother's condition. I wish him to wake up early so I can manage to save his position, at least before they challenge it."

"Are all on the same side?" Jiang Yuyan asked.

"I visited most of them personally who are loyal to my brother and Lu Qiang but the number is less and few of them might go to another side. Those who were scared of Lu Qiang are free now and they can betray us anytime."

"I see and how about projects?"

"The recent ones are at a halt. The value of shares going down and investors are turning their backs to us. Those who have been eyeing on Lu Corporation for long bought most of the shares at a lower price and we only have one option to keep major shareholders with us. Few of them are from out of China so we need to get them too so they would be with us, but alone I can't go everywhere." 

"When is the board meeting?" Jiang Yuyan asked.

"The first day of the next week," Lu Cheng replied.

"Just four days from now." Jiang Yuyan exclaimed as she didn't think, the things would go so faster.

"Yes, and practically we don't have time," Lu Chen concluded.

"Don't worry uncle, we will find the way. You should sleep now," Jiang Yuyan assured.

"Hmm!" Lu Cheng nodded and Jiang Yuyan turned to leave, but he called her. "Yuyan!"

Jiang Yuyan turned to look at the uncle, "Yes, uncle."

"I know this is too much to ask you in such a condition but I have one suggestion if you are ready."

Jiang Yuyan stood there to hear further and Lu Chen continued, "I wish you to take Lu Qiang's position."

It didn't surprise Jiang Yuyan, "Uncle, I am not that capable."

"You can be and for now you are the better option as you are from the family and in such condition, it would be bad to give the control in the outsider's hands. Also,...don't get me wrong…."

"You can say it, uncle,"

"After Lu Qiang, his everything passed on to you and you and as his wife, you have the right to claim his position. The power you got from him, his side of shares, wealth, and other things can help you control the things," said Lu Chen.

"What if I give you the control over Lu Qiang's wealth? Won't it help?" Jiang Yuyan asked as she didn't have any plan to get into the Lu Corporation.

"As I said before, I am not that capable. Either you take control or we need someone like Lu Qiang whom we can trust blindly."

"If you have someone trustable in mind, then let me know. Together we might stand to all this," Jiang Yuyan suggested.

"Hmm!

Jiang Yuyan left to go back to the room where Lu Lijun was waiting for her to return. She had so many things to do, looking after Lu Lijun, trying to find out the solution for Lu corporation's issues and handling the enemies on the backhand.
