Chapter 75: Agree? Refuse?

Agree, agree, agree, abstain, abstain.

A glimmer of light appeared in Wei Er's eyes, and the corners of his mouth curled upward.

After a few seconds, he finally spoke.

"Miss Luosha, you haven't voted yet."

"I am only observing today; Chairman Lu acts as my plenipotentiary representative, his vote is my vote."

Luosha remained seated at the bar, responding in a soft voice.

"Of course, I respect your decision."

Wei Er nodded slightly toward Luosha, then looked at Lu Chen.

"Chairman Lu, please cast your vote. There are already three votes in favor, plus my own, this motion..."

"I object."

After a moment of silence, Lu Chen spoke in a hoarse voice.

Wei Er was stunned for a moment, looked at Lu Chen with some disbelief, and then looked at Luosha again.

"Chairman Lu, regardless of whether you object, the passage of this motion has become inevitable."

"Then Mr. Lu, do you wish to exercise my veto power?"

Luosha's cold voice came from the bar.

She ignored the situation in the boardroom and poured herself a glass of whiskey.

As soon as Luosha's voice fell, all the members in the boardroom turned their gazes toward Lu Chen in unison.

Even Wei Er turned his gaze in disbelief from Luosha to Lu Chen, who had been silently smoking a Cigar.

"No, thank you for your kindness, Miss Luosha. Failure is just failure; I accept it."

Lu Chen was stunned for a moment, ignored the gazes of those around him, took two more puffs of his Cigar, and then spoke.

"Congratulations, Director Wei Er, you will regret this decision in the future."

Lu Chen stood up, looked at Wei Er, who was within arm's reach, and reached out his hand.

They shook hands briefly.

"Remember to send me a copy of the meeting minutes."

After exchanging glances with Luosha, Professor Li, and Chairman Shi, he continued.

"Excuse me everyone, since the meeting is over, I have some matters to attend to and must leave first. My apologies, farewell."

"Chairman Lu, you are welcome to come to my Zhuangyuan for a chat when you have time."

Old Shi said in an aged voice.

Lu Chen bowed slightly and walked straight out the door.

After returning to the car, he spoke with some exhaustion.

"Butler Wang, the cemetery, let's go see Xiaofeng's mother."

Butler Wang nodded silently, the car started smoothly, and the security detail was reduced to only two cars.

Although the car was driving very smoothly, Butler Wang seemed a bit nervous.

"Butler Wang, pull over, let someone else drive, you are quite tired too."

Lu Chen opened his eyes and said softly.

"Your current state is more dangerous than mine."

"Very well."

A dry, hoarse, and even slightly raspy voice came from Butler Wang's seat.

The vehicle slowly came to a stop, Butler Wang opened the door, and after a few minutes, he sat back in the passenger seat.

They then drove toward the cemetery.

On the brand-new tombstone, the name of Liu Xiaofeng's mother was engraved, the simple two characters: Huifen.

The surroundings were filled with fresh flowers, and there was a faint scent of alcohol in the air.

Lu Chen took the flowers prepared by Butler Wang and placed them gently on the top layer.

He bowed in respect.

He stood up, returned to the car, and then asked a question.

"How is Xiaofeng's condition?"

"At the Zhuangyuan, he was knocked unconscious by Chen Mo."

After a while, Butler Wang spoke hoarsely.

"Nonsense. Never mind, give him the best medical treatment."

Lu Chen slowly closed his eyes.

By the time he woke up, it was already dark.

Butler Wang was still sitting in the passenger seat, but his spirit seemed quite good.

"What time is it now?"

Lu Chen got out of the car; the small parking lot was already full of Buicks.

"9:00 PM, sir, you should go back and rest."

Butler Wang's voice sounded slightly better than it had in the afternoon.

Lu Chen took the hot milk and drank a few sips.

He then stretched his stiff body.

Lu Chen did not refuse; he returned to the bedroom, took a good shower, and went to sleep.

Early morning.

The Zhuangyuan had already returned to its former tranquility.

Coffee, Cigar, newspaper.

Lu Chen sat steadily in the main seat of the reception hall.

"BOSS."

Li Xuanhua and Zhao Chenhui arrived together.

Lu Chen pointed to the sofa beside his hand and pushed the cigar box toward Li Xuanhua and Zhao Chenhui.

He took a puff of his Cigar and slowly exhaled the smoke.

"What is it?"

Zhao Chenhui glanced at Li Xuanhua, and Li Xuanhua nodded slightly.

"Nothing urgent, just having a Cigar first."

Lu Chen glanced at the two of them acting fidgety and spoke directly.

The two nodded silently and each began to preheat their Cigars.

Lu Chen nodded slightly and continued to flip through two pages of the newspaper.

His pupils constricted slightly.

"The Crown Board of Directors saw sudden waves yesterday..."

After finishing reading, the corners of Lu Chen's mouth curled up slightly.

Such clumsy methods, without a shred of substantive content, yet they wrote out the voting results.

This method is truly too trashy, isn't it?

"BOSS, it's like this: Professor Li's funds have arrived, and there is also 200 million in mysterious funds that have entered a shell company we haven't activated yet."

Li Xuanhua took a puff of his Cigar, and after exhaling the smoke, he spoke softly with an inquiring tone.

"Is there a problem with that money from the secret channel?"

"There is no problem with that money; notarize a contract, establish a new independent offshore company, give it 10% of the shares, and deposit them into a safe at the United Neutral Bank."

Lu Chen took a puff of his Cigar and slowly exhaled the smoke.

He tossed the newspaper onto the coffee table, leaned back, and crossed his legs.

"Do not execute this contract for the time being, and do not participate in dividends, but the company's finance department must remember that the money corresponding to it may be withdrawn at any time."

"Understood, then should we just leave this portion of money sitting there?"

Li Xuanhua nodded, then frowned, his voice carrying a hint of doubt.

"If that's the case, then our funding gap hasn't been completely resolved."

"Treat it as a loan to be used, but the interest is calculated based on dividends."

Lu Chen glanced at Li Xuanhua and then continued.

"No need to probe any further; this money is specifically for industrial construction."

Li Xuanhua nodded silently.

Lu Chen nodded slightly and then continued.

"Chenhui, Xuan Hua returning is not a reason for you to hand over power."

Lu Chen looked at the two of them and silently took two puffs of his Cigar.

"Xuan Hua, your return this time is an emergency; in two days, you should continue to Piaoliang Guo. I have never been at ease with that side; you should still go there and continue to execute that plan."

Lu Chen put down his Cigar and sipped his coffee.

"Once the industrial plan starts, money flows like water. You are the source of the company's most important cash flow; the mission over there is truly too important. Without you watching it, I still don't feel at ease."

Li Xuanhua was stunned for a moment, then nodded heavily.

"Alright, I will meet with the teacher and then book the nearest flight."

Lu Chen glanced at Zhao Chenhui and nodded slightly.

Only after Zhao Chenhui left the reception hall did he speak.

"After arriving in Piaoliang Guo this time, besides the plan I gave you before, there is one more thing you need to do."

Lu Chen took out a fountain pen and scribbled a series of company names on a slip of paper.

"If there is an opportunity, buy shares in these companies and hold them long-term, but be aware that you cannot affect the cash flow here."

A hint of solemnity appeared on Lu Chen's face.

"Of those 200 million in funds, you may choose to misappropriate 50 million."

Li Xuanhua nodded silently and rose to leave.

Meanwhile, Liu Xiaofeng stood on one side of the reception hall, looking somewhat weak, and watched Lu Chen silently.
