Chapter 684: Rightful Owner...

"Rightful owner," Jiang Yuyan mumbled as she thought about something and nodding Xiao Min continued, "Yes, and we can use this opportunity to check the water to know who is in our favor and who is ready to betray us."

Jiang Yuyan agreed, "Hmm, we will go according to what you have planned as we have just three days left to prepare."

That evening, Lu Chen left China along with Xiao Dong to visit the shareholder on foreign land and to get the signatures from them on the papers that showed whom they are siding with. He had three days to return with everything while Jiang Yuyan and San Zemin started the preparation from their side.

The next day...

After breakfast, Lu Lijun got ready to go to the school on his own and Jiang Yuyan was happy that he did it even without her asking him to do it. Not just Jiang Yuyan but also Ning Jiahui was relieved seeing it.

Jiang Yuyan took him to the school in her car, which was ready along with the driver. On the way, Jiang Yuyan thought to praise Lu Lijun for his decision to resume schooling.

"It's good that you decide to go back to school."

Lu Lijun was looking out of the window when she said it. Looked like he was thinking about something and turned his face to look at her as he asked, "Are you happy?"

It startled Jiang Yuyan as he talked when she expected to get his silence in the reply. Also, his question that he asked if she was happy, puzzled her too.

"Of course, I am. Why won't I be happy when it's something good for you?" Jiang Yuyan replied.

"If that's what makes you happy." Saying Lu Lijun turned back to look outside of the windows and Jiang Yuyan didn't disturb him.

Jiang Yuyan thought he was ready to go back to school because she mentioned his elder brother when she was trying to convince him the previous night, but little did she know that Lu Lijun just heard only words when she said- I will be happy.

For Lu Lijun, whatever that would make Jiang Yuyan happy, he was ready to do it.

When they arrived at the school, Jiang Yuyan stepped out of the car to see him off. When they reached the gate, Jiang Yuyan informed, "I will be here to pick you up in the evening." Patting his head, Jiang Yuyan turned to leave, but Lu Lijun held her hand to stop her.

The moment she looked at him, Lu Lijun tiptoed and pecked her on the cheek as he said, "See you in the evening."

Surprised with his action, Jiang Yuyan hummed lightly. It was not the first time when he did it, but the only thing that startled Jiang Yuyan was the sudden change in Lu Lijun.

When she didn't expect him to say anything, he talked. When she thought he will just leave silently, he reacted and pecked on her cheeks. This all was so sudden that surprised her, but she felt glad he had responded and reacted because during these days he was silent, hardly spoke a few words in an entire day, he never smiled and looked serious all the time.

———-

The three days passed, and finally, it was the day of the board meeting.

All the board members were present in the Lu corporation's head office. Lu Chen came back to China the previous night as he managed to get the signatures of most of the shareholders.

Xiao Min and Jiang Yuyan prepared the plan as suggested by Xiao Min and his father Xiao Dong while Lu Chen approved it too and he was confident that it will work.

The meeting held in the conference hall. It was the huge space that had the tables and the chairs arranged in a semicircle in front of the small stage. There were ten board members and others were the major shareholders who needed to be present in the meeting.

The person who was leading the meeting was Li Yong, the person who was eyeing the president's position in the Lu Corporation. A tall man in mid-thirties who had achieved a lot to make him qualified for the position, not to forget being one of the major shareholders.

He was supporting Chairman Lu Jinhai's dismissal as few of them had planned who would be the next chairman and that was Fu Jing, one of Lu Jinhai's trusted men, but who was about to betray him. Li Yong was Fu Jing's trusted man and once he had got Chairman's position, they had a deal that Li Yong would be the next president.

Fu Jing was confident that he would get the Chairman's position as there were low chances of Lu Jianhai waking up ever and being the most powerful among the board members other than Lu Jinhai and Lu Qiang, made him qualified for the position, not forget his sharp brain which scared rest of the members.

The meeting was about to start and Lu Chen was somewhat worried, though he trusted their plan. Xiao Dong assured him to not worry. Lu Chen was afraid to let down his elder brother, who must think his younger brother would do his best to protect what belonged to them.

The meeting started as Li Yong asked everyone's attention while standing behind the dais on the stage.

"Thank you very much, everyone, for coming here to contribute to such an important decision-making event for our company. I hope we all take decisions solely based on benefiting this company and not based on any personal interest and emotions related to someone."

Everyone in the conference hall paid attention to it. Not just board members but the major shareholders present there were excited about this new change too.

Fu Jing, the man as the same age of Lu Jinhai and once Lu Jinhai's trusted man was sitting in front with his loyal men on his side, those were hoping Fu Jing to be next Chairman. Most of of them were against Lu Jinhai and a few were just greedy for more.
