Chapter 121: Why Is Your Surname Lu Too?
Translator: Atlas Studios | Editor: Atlas Studios
“Today is my lucky day. Otherwise, why would I meet such a good person like
you? I’m so excited! I thought you’d be as sarcastic as Manager Lu, but I didn’t
expect you to know so much.”
He Xiaopeng cried as he said, “I can finally hold my head up high and be
someone. I can finally get rid of the label of useless trash. And shake off those
creditors who threaten me when I can’t pay my debts..”
It seemed like he would not be able to stop talking anytime soon.
Lu Ming sighed softly in his heart. He patted He Xiaopeng’s shoulder
comfortingly. He had always been tolerant of talented people like him. They
would be a great help to him in the future.
Lu Yaohua would never have dreamed that his prejudice turned away a
promising talent.
It helped Lu Ming achieve his goal instead.
Ever since Tang Wenyi and Lu Ze gave him back-to-back gifts, Lu Yaohua had
followed suit.
They are indeed family, thought Lu Ming
They are indeed alike.
After some time, He Xiaopeng regained his senses and said embarrassedly,
“Tm sorry, I didn’t mean to lose my composure.”
On the first day of the partnership, he was crying his eyes out in front of the
boss. This was too embarrassing!
Does he think that I’m too fragile? he wondered.
Just as he was feeling a little lost, Lu Ming handed him a tissue and smiled. “It’s
alright.I can understand how you feel. Just cry if you feel wronged. There has
to be a way to vent.”
He Xiaopeng felt he was like a duckweed that had found a home. He was about
to have a place in the industry.
He Xiaopeng wiped his tears embarrassedly. “I don’t usually do this. Today is
an exception. From now on, I’ll definitely follow you wholeheartedly! Please be
assured.”
“Then the investment in new energy cars is decided. I will be responsible for all
the costs you spend on research during the planning process. Of course, I will
give you a fixed salary every month. As the research progresses, you can tell
me if you need anything”
Lu Ming took out the freshly printed document and said, “See if there are any
problems on it. If not, sign it.”
He Xiaopeng nodded. When he saw his monthly salary of 300 thousand yuan,
he said in astonishment, “Isn’t.. Isn’t this too high?”
“Not very high. If it weren’t our first partnership, Id probably have offered a
higher salary
Higher?
Based on He Xiaopeng’s experience, the market salary was around 100
thousand yuan. Now his salary was triple that, and it would increase at a later
stage. He thought this was too good!
At the thought of this, his eyes reddened again. How lucky am I to have met
such a good boss, he thought.
So he signed his name without hesitation. Lu Ming signed beside his signature.
Before he could heave a sigh of relief, He Xiaopeng said in disbelief, “Your
surname is Lu too?! Don’t tell me you are related to Manager Lu?
How could there be such a coincidence in this world???
The person who sent him to hell had the surname Lu, and the person who
pulled him back to heaven this time also had the surname Lu!
On a closer look, they seemed to look alike.
How could they be unrelated! he wondered.
“The Manager Lu you’re talking about is my biological father.”
Lu Ming did not intend to lie to him. Since the two of them were in a
partnership, he thought he should be upfront rather than resort to covering up
the truth. It would save him some trouble in the future.
Father!?
He Xiaopeng suddenly felt that he was being toyed with by this pair of father
and son. This good person was actually sent by Manager Lu?he thought. So
Manager Lu regretted his decision but did not want to let nme off the hook That
was why he got Lu Ming to follow me!
He flew into a rage out of humiliation. “Do you guys take me for a fool?! One
moment, you’Te calling my project trash, the next moment, you’re saying that
my project is very good. You’re both in cahoots! Liar! So you’re the young
master of the Lu Corporation! Are you saying those words just becausel don’t
know the inside story?!
The flames of anger overwhelmed him and he instinctively forgot that Lu Ming
had been scolding Lu Yaohua not long ago. His only thought was that he had
been fooled!
He was so grateful to Lu Ming. But nowhe thought perhaps Lu Ming was
calling him an idiot behind his back!
Well, as Id said, how could there be apie falling from the sky, especially with
my bad luck, he thought. Is this the truth then? He was disappointed and sad.
Anyone who felt betrayed would probably have the same reaction.
He looked at the documents on the table and said, “I’m unworthy of your Lu
family! Let’s cancel this collaboration! l’d rather be buried with my hard work
than let you trample on me!”
“You’re mistaken. I don’t know Lu Yaohua well
Lu Ming quickly explained. He did not want to let go of the talent he found just
like that.
“Don’t know well?
He Xiaopeng sneered and said, “Which father and son in the world don’t know
each other well? Can’t you find a better excuse? Isn’t this too perfunctory? Do
you really think I’m a fool? Perhaps in your eyes, Im a fool! I actually believed
your nonsense!”
Lu Ming said helplessly, “Im telling the truth. Why don’t you believe me?
“Who the f#ck would believe you! Your dad just angered me into leaving and
you came to sign a contract with me. How could you have kind intentions?! Did
you regret your actions and want to rope me in?! Let me tell you, I won’t work
with you in this lifetime! Give up!”
He Xiaopeng said angrily.
He had offered his sincerity and warmth. He didn’t expect that the other party
was just using him!
He thought he could not have been more unlucky!
Lu Ming did not knowwhat to say. Could he say that all of this was a
coincidence? However, the person in front of him clearly did not believe it.
After all, he already hated Lu Yaohua to the core.
“Do you thinkI have premonition powers? You came to my construction site. I
didn’t force you, right?
He tried to reason with He Xiaopeng to prove his innocence.
However, He Xiaopeng refused to listen. “You guys have been monitoring me!
No matter where I go, you guys appear just in time. Didn’t I fall into your trap
by coming here? That’s right! This was all planned by you guys”
Look! Lu Ming thought.
A fine young man is driven to this state by Lu Yaohua.
This is close to a delusion of persecution!
Lu Ming held his forehead. He had been busy with work all day long. He did not
have the time for silly tricks, let alone collaborate with his enemy.
The truth is not what you think.. Since you insist that you’re right, are you
interested in going somewhere with me? I can take you to see the truth if you
keep calm, understand
