Chapter 163 The Mistress Meets the Fourth
But now the company belongs to Lu Qianqian, shouldn't she be the one who's most worried?
"Dad, the stock price won't drop on Monday!" Lu Qianqian's lips curled into a sly smile. "How about I give you an idea?"
That evening, amidst the online storm, Lu Kai, the president of Lu's Group, personally appeared before reporters to apologize and published an apology letter on the company's account.
An hour after the apology, Lu issued a statement announcing that he would build twenty Hope Primary Schools in impoverished mountainous areas across the country and support more than one hundred impoverished students until they graduate from university.
Such a sincere apology was accepted by netizens.
Xu Ru was stunned when she received the news. They hadn't even threatened Lu Qianqian yet, so how did her apology letter appear online?
Lu Tingting was also furious: "Has my dad gone mad? Donating so much money, how much loss will this cause?"
Xu Rushi didn't expect things to develop so quickly; they hadn't even made a move yet: "No, we can't let Lu Qianqian continue to be so arrogant. In a few days, I'll go find my friend and then say a few words to the Rong family's matriarch."
Lu Tingting nodded quickly: "That's right, Mom, you should have done this a long time ago!"
……
On Sunday, Lu's Real Estate announced another major decision: to increase employee wages and benefits by 25 percent compared to its peers, to expand recruitment, and to organize its own construction team, rejecting outsourcing and focusing on quality.
This resulted in a large labor shortage, and since the construction team primarily served migrant workers, their wages and benefits were even higher than those of other companies.
Instantly, a large number of migrant workers flooded into the recruitment area, and many social elites also switched jobs. The entrance of Lu's Group was bustling with activity. The media reported and forwarded the news, directly overshadowing the previous news about Xu Rushi. On Monday, the stock price even hit the daily limit!
Lu Kai burst into laughter in his office: "Qianqian, I never expected your idea to be so brilliant!"
Lu Qianqian sat in her office, sipping tea, and said slowly, "It's alright, these are all ideas from the elites I recruited."
The people we recruited from the Zhang family were actually quite useful; they came up with such a brilliant idea!
As long as the problem of employment difficulties in society is solved and the income of migrant workers is increased, mainstream media will help promote it, and the positive image will be greatly improved.
Secondly, raising salaries will make it easier to recruit top talent to switch jobs, which is why Lu's Group previously stagnated due to a lack of top talent.
What's the point of Lu Kai focusing solely on making money and putting it into his own pocket?
Even if you earn a little less yourself, the company will do better. In the long run, you'll actually earn more.
Lu Kai sighed with relief, "It seems that the Lu family has a worthy successor!"
Lu Qianqian scoffed, "Dad, the son you kept outside is in high school this year, right?"
Lu Kai stared at her dumbfounded, wondering how Lu Qianqian knew.
Lu Qianqian had no idea before, but ever since she added Yaoji on WeChat, Yaoji, being a warm-hearted and outgoing person, told Lu Qianqian all sorts of gossip about celebrities, who had been in relationships with whom, and even revealed that her father was keeping a mistress outside the marriage.
Lu Qianqian wasn't surprised by this, after all, Xu Rushi was a mistress who rose to power, and now it could be said that the mistress had met the fourth mistress.
“Dad, you don’t need to hide it from me anymore. I already know the truth. He’s in his first year of high school now, and you gave him 10% of the shares in a company ten years ago.”
Faced with Lu Qianqian's direct exposure, Lu Kai broke out in a cold sweat. He didn't know when his eldest daughter had become so formidable.
Even his mistress of sixteen years knew about it!
Seeing his reaction, Lu Qianqian sneered: "Now that I have the shares of Lu's Group, you can forget about giving Lu's Real Estate to him. If he doesn't fight for it and comes to work for Lu's Group after graduation, I will naturally not treat him unfairly."
After having Xu Rushi and Lu Tingting, she became much more tolerant of her half-siblings.
Lu Kai smiled awkwardly, trying to explain himself: "Qianqian, you know, Dad's company is so big, I can't just hand it over to outsiders, right? You and Tingting will get married eventually, so I was afraid it would fall into other people's hands. But now it's different. You're capable now, and so capable at that!"
"Alright, bring him out sometime so I can meet this little brother of yours." Lu Qianqian packed her things. "I have something to do, I'm leaving now!"
Lu Qianqian continued her training class in the afternoon. After two days of memorization, she found that she could actually understand some of the content today, which surprised her.
Meanwhile, Rong Wanru did not come to class today.
But when she wasn't there, she paid much more attention in class.
I feel very fulfilled every day now. In the morning, I go for a run, take the kids to school, and then go to Zhang's or Lu's for a stroll. Occasionally, I go to Peng's. In the afternoon, I have training classes. After school, I pick up the little rascal. In the evening, I memorize texts or help Xiao Chengcheng with various punishments. On weekends, I play games and help Xiao Chengcheng level up and fight monsters.
Time flies, and it's already mid-December. A call came from someone with the signature saying the ring was ready and asking when Lu Qianqian would be home so it could be delivered.
Upon learning that delivery was not possible that day, Lu Qianqian personally took Qitiao to the store to pick up the goods.
"Ms. Lu, it's really kind of you to come all this way. The company's delivery schedule is such that even if it arrives today, the earliest delivery time is tomorrow." The store manager handed her the finished ring and apologized with a smile.
Lu Qianqian shook her head and said it was nothing, but she couldn't wait and came over herself. She immediately took the ring and tried it on: "It fits perfectly, it's so beautiful."
"This is a one-of-a-kind ring in the world. Miss Lu's fingers are slender and delicate, and her skin is fair. Of course, she looks beautiful wearing this ring!" The manager kept praising her.
Lu Qianqian readily accepted: "Thank you, you go ahead and get busy, I'll rest for a bit and then leave!"
"Alright, go ahead," the manager said, then turned and left.
Lu Qianqian wasn't in a hurry to leave because Qitiao had immediately caught her eye, so she was given time to look around and choose, to see if there was anything she liked to buy.
At this moment, Rong Wanru walked in with Zhang Shengqin on the first floor of the store, accompanied by Zhang's mother. The waiter immediately came forward to introduce them.
“Wanru, the name is from the best diamond ring company, and there’s the ‘Forever’ series, which ordinary people can’t afford. This shows how much Shengqin values you.” Zhang’s mother said, her smile radiating an overwhelming sense of superiority.
Rong Wanru smiled gratefully at Zhang's mother, but reached out and held Zhang Shengqin's hand tightly.
With a broad smile, Zhang's mother was clearly in a great mood. She said to the waiter, "Bring us your best products!"
