The door opened all of a sudden, interrupting Jin Liwei’s cold anger.
"It’s not even rush hour yet but why is the traffic already so horrible at this time? I want to know!"
A familiar booming voice made everyone jump up their seats on instinct. Rose Young and her supporters paled, not expecting the arrival of this formidable figure.
Grandpa Lu, or more known to everyone else as Sir Lu Jianhong, the other half of the business genius duo who decades ago founded what was now known as Jin Corporation, entered the meeting room, immediately filling the entire place with his huge force of presence.
"S-sir Lu, good afternoon!"
"Hello, Sir Lu Jianhong!"
The board members’ greetings were disorganized. Xu Tian immediately stepped forward and led the old man to the other head of the table opposite where Jin Liwei was sitting.
Jin Liwei also greeted Grandpa Lu, but unlike the flustered board members, he was very calm. He made eye contact with the old man and saw Grandpa Lu’s slight nod. Without showing any visible change of expression, Jin Liwei allowed himself to relax as he inwardly sighed in relief at the old man’s arrival.
When Grandpa Lu hadn’t arrived yet, Jin Liwei had been ready to face everyone by himself and remind them that his authority shouldn’t be challenged so easily. He was confident of himself but defending what should’ve already been a final decision was, in his opinion, a big waste of time. There were more important things that he could spend his precious time on. For example, spending more quality time with his pregnant wife and doting on her.
Fortunately, Grandpa Lu arrived just in time to take the burden from him. The old man’s status, in addition to his 50% shares, were held in the highest regard by everyone at Jin Corporation. It wasn’t too much of an exaggeration to say that Sir Lu Jianhong’s words were law in the company.
Unlike Jin Liwei’s cold intimidation which made the others shiver in fright earlier, Grandpa Lu looked very friendly, yet he still made the others shake for an entirely different reason. He was retired and rarely interfered in the running of the company but when he did interfere, nobody could challenge him with his 50% ownership of Jin Corporation. freeweɓnøvel.com
The board of directors had the right to keep the CEO and the way he ran the company in check, but Grandpa Lu had the authority to keep the board itself in check. In short, the board of directors had no power over Grandpa Lu at all.
"Why are you all still standing like a bunch of kindergarteners? Sit down, all of you!" Grandpa Lu was full of smiles as he greeted those he knew, joking with them and making them feel more at ease.
