Chapter 142 – Punishment and Notification

A dark look flashed across his eyes. Good. Let’s do this.
To his surprise, the office door was pushed open the next second. Ning Yuanxin put on a sarcastic smile and said, “Weren’t you trying to pull me down all day long? Indeed, the heavens will punish the wicked. Congratulations, Mr. Lu. You won’t be able to play dirty tricks anymore.”
He had long disliked Lu Yaohua’s behavior. He did not work all day and even drew a high salary. How many people dreamed of doing this? He even mistook good intentions for ill intent. Those who did not know better might even think that he had hired a master!
He doesn’t know anything.
Ican’t hit or scold him, and he gets angry when I tell him off!
It was even harder than consecrating an immortal. At least the latter would not open his mouth to speak and anger him to death every time!
Just when he thought that he was going to die from anger in this position, the Tang family finally did something.
“Lu Yaohua, I don’t know if you’re brainless or too bold, but you’ve become so lazy. A while ago, I was looking for an opportunity to befriend Mr. He. I didn’t expect that as my subordinate, you’d actually turn him away. Do you think the Tang family has inexhaustible money?
Or are you afraid that the Tang family has too few enemies? You’ve offended such a talented young man. I think it won’t be long before he’s my equal. Even if I go and apologize, he might not meet me, right? If the Tang family had invested in this project, they would have made a killing.”
Ning Yuanxin said sarcastically, “Old Master happened to want to enter this industry recently. He might have been able to gain a foothold in the smart car industry because of this project. But all of this has been ruined by you!”
“What right do you have to say that about me?! I’m Third Miss’s husband!”
Lu Yaohua still did not recognize the reality of where he stood now. He subconsciously forgot Ning Yuanxin’s first few words and tried to use his relationship to suppress the other party. After all, when he said this in the past, Ning Yuanxin would stop bothering him.
But now, Ning Yuanxin sneered and said, “Do you think I’ll be afraid of you just because you mentioned Third Miss? The master is quite dissatisfied with you now! You don’t know your limits at all.”
‘Then he threw Lu Yaohua a document. “Lu Yaohua, you’re fired. From now on, you don’t have to come to the company. Before long, the Lu Corporation will be changed to the Tang Corporation. I finally don’t have to face you anymore.”
“What do you mean!”
Lu Yaohua looked at the black and white paper in disbelief. It clearly stated that he had been fired by the Lu Corporation for his inappropriate behavior.
If he was chased out, no one in Shanghai would dare to take him in at the risk of offending the Tang family!
“The Lu Corporation is mine!”
“Retum it to you? What are you dreaming about! I advise you to quickly pack up and get out of here! In addition, you’re late every day this month and haven’t even checked in at work, so your salary will be deducted!”
Ning Yuanxin was delighted to see his expression!
He said angrily, “It was you! Did you do this because you couldn’t stand me? I’m going to tell on you to the old man! Trust me, I’ll make you disappear from this world completely!”
“Go complain if you dare!”
Ning Yuanxin did not feel guilty at all and said, “Oh right, I forgot to tell you that the firing was the old master’s decision!”
The family head’s decision?
Has my family given the order for me to be fired?
That shouldn’t be the case! The old master had always cherished the family’s reputation. Lu Yachua wondered how he could allow the news to spread that they had a son-in-law who lived off his wife. Could it be that they have really given up on me? he wondered.
How could this be?
He still had a lot of talent that he had not shown! Even the experienced Old Master had times when he misjudged others. Why could he not tolerate this mistake of his?
“I don’t believe it! I don’t believe it! You must have said something, right?”
He grabbed the collar of Ning Yuanxin and said fiercely, “I advise you to quickly explain to the old master! Otherwise, I won’t let you off…”
Before he could finish, Ning Yuanxin calmly picked up his phone. It showed that he was on the phone. “Butler He, Lu Yaohua doesn’t believe me. What should we do?”
“Mr. Lu, I took the initiative to call Yuanxin according to Old Master’s orders. Since you don’t want to believe him, I’ll inform you officially. Lu Yaohua, you’ve been suspended indefinitely. As for when you’ll return to work, please wait patiently.”
‘There was a high chance that he would never return to work in his lifetime.
“If you continue to make things difficult for Yuanxin, then it won’t just be a suspension. Also, Old Master asked me to tell you that you’ve disappointed him. If you have any objections…”
It was useless.
Before Butler He could finish, Lu Yaohua interrupted him without hesitation. “Give the phone to the old man! I don’t believe you!”
The living room fell silent.
Everyone in the Tang family knew how high Butler He’s status was. Even juniors like them did not dare to speak to Butler He in this manner. What right did a mere second-marriage man have to boss him around?
Tang Wanxi muttered, “How could Third Sister’s husband be so stupid? When I saw him a few years ago, he was still a normal person.”
“He was probably faking it. Isn’t his nature exposed now? If he was so arrogant back then, how could he have entered our Tang family?”
Tang Rongrong said scornfully, “Big Sister, what do you think?”
“That makes sense. He’s a perfect match for our third sister. I finally understand why Old Master wants us to study more and keep our eyes sharp. Isn’t this the consequence if we don’t?”
Tang Nishang looked at her silent youngest sister who did not say anything.
The old man, who was resting with his eyes closed, suddenly said, “Lu Yaohua, if you say another word, don’t blame me for being ruthless.”
The phone immediately fell silent.
After all, Lu Yaohua was bullying the weak and afraid of the strong.
A hint of contempt flashed across Butler He’s eyes as he said in a low voice, “Then this is it. If Yuanxin told me that you went to work without permission, you’ll be fired.”
As soon as he finished speaking, he quickly hung up.
He did not want to continue talking nonsense with such a person. Then he went to the old master’s side and poured him a cup of tea.
After a long silence, Tang Yajing, the youngest and most favored younger sister, spoke first. “Old Master, what should we do now? Not only did we miss a good opportunity, but we were also hurt by Lu Yaohua.”
It was too late to get into the smart car industry.
After drinking a few mouthfuls of tea, the old master finally calmed down. He thought for a while and said, “Smart cars represent the future. If we don’t invest now, time will only drag on. At that time, we won’t be able to get any share of the pie. We have to get in!”
He paused for a moment before continuing. “Isn’t the new energy vehicle about to be mass-produced? Once it succeeds, Lu Ming Corporation will definitely dominate this industry! What we need to do now is to stop them!”
“How should we stop them?”
Tang Niang was puzzled. “They must have already agreed with the factories…”
“Why don’t we cancel their contracts? We can help them pay the termination fee. I don’t think anyone will be willing to offend the Tang family in Beijing for such a new company!”
‘The old man tapped the armrest rhythmically and said, “As for the parts, the Tang family has enough power to block the source of the raw materials! When the time comes, they can only produce prototypes! I want to see how they will mass produce them!”
‘Tang Yajing rubbed her chin and said, “Old Master, don’t you think the name Lu Ming sounds familiar?”
“What are you thinking of?”
Old Master asked. In any case, he did not think anything.
“No, I’m probably thinking too much.”
Lu Ming, as in ‘Deer cries.’
Lu Ming, as in the name!
The pronunciation is similar, but one of the written characters is different. Is it a coincidence?
It should be a coincidence.
She remembered that Lu Yaohua’s elder son was not very promising. How could he have so much money to invest in cars?
Perhaps this was the downside of living in Beijing. Whenever she went to Shanghai, Tang Yajing would realize that she was mistaken about the place.
On the other side.
Lu Yaohua was packing his things dejectedly. When the employees saw his actions, their eyes were full of disdain, contempt, and joy.
“What’s going on? It looks like he’s going to pack up and leave. Doesn’t he have someone above him? Is it really fine for the boss to fire him?”
“If his wife isn’t from the Tang family, do you think he could have bothered us for so long? I guess he angered the higher-ups this time. He should have left long ago. Every time I pass by his office, I can see those people crying because of his scolding. He doesn’t have capabilities but he has a big temper.
Tm astounded.”
“Theard from some sources that the recent electric vehicle developer came here to pull an investment, but he was chased away by Lu Yaohua. The higher-ups flew into a rage and suspended him indefinitely. How satisfying!”
“F*ck! Are you serious?!”
Lu Yaohua glared at them!
Soon he would be reinstated in his position. He would not let these sarcastic people off then!
The moment he walked out of the company, he felt as if a lifetime had passed. He wondered if… he should not have married Tang Wenyi.
“Why? Are you reluctant to part with us?”
A furious voice came from the side. Lu Yaohua said with a fake smile, “Just you wait! I won’t let you off!”
“Tm so scared.”
Ning Yuanxin put on an act and said, “I don’t even know if you can come back, and you won’t let me off? Do you still think you’re the previous boss of the Lu Corporation? No! You’re just a jobless person now! I look forward to seeing you beg on the streets!”
“You’re the one who’s a f*cking beggar! As the saying goes, “The river flows 30 years to the East, and 30 years to the West.’ Change is the only constant! Sooner or later, I’ll trample you under my feet!”
Lu Yaohua shouted angrily.
“30 years?”
Ning Yuanxin said sarcastically, “You’re old, so don’t you know how much longer you can live? Even if you can live that long, you’re still an old man. How can you compare with me? You idiot.”
When Lu Yaohua heard this, he fainted!
