My Aloof Husband Can't Stop His Devoted Affection-Chapter 638: Lu Mu - : 001: Eyeing Like a Tiger

The news that the Old Chairman Mu, the pillar of the Mu Group, had fallen ill spread quickly, and the Mu Group’s morale was unstable. It could be said that there were internal and external troubles. All the responsibilities fell on Mu Lezhu, the only legal heir of the Mu Group, who was only 26 years old.

The board of directors was full of selfish old foxes who only cared about profits and had no intention of considering Mu Lezhu’s well-being. Without exception, they were eyeing her shares and rights, plotting how to scheme against her.

So, when the news of the intended marriage alliance between the Mu Group and Lu Group spread, the old foxes in the company and the companies competing with Mu Group panicked, desperately trying to organize against this union. However, the Lu Group announced the news to the public first, even revealing the engagement date. Until they got engaged, those people could only watch with frustration, doing nothing but trying to trip Mu Lezhu up, making life difficult for her, constantly coveting the Mu Group, which was already half-empty.

"Miss Mu, oh, now we should call you President Mu. Given the current state of our company, we oppose your continuation of the Dream Night series. Neither our financial resources nor manpower can sustain it. Besides, Blue Ocean’s diamonds have already started limited sales."

"The company’s current lineup is not just Dream Night. If you insist on completing this series, where will you place the production of several other series? Are you really planning to drag the Mu Group down?"

"The Mu Group is not solely the Mu family’s; it’s the hard work of us all, decades of effort. How can it be ruined by a little girl like you?"

"Lezhu! Listen to Uncle Hao’s advice. Although Dream Night is your grandfather’s wish, this series has already taken ten years of his efforts. If it continues, who knows how long this will take? In the past two months, you’ve seen how fast the stock prices of Mu Group have fallen. The sales of the newly launched Summer series weren’t as good as we expected. Moreover, the series released by the Ning Group have completely suppressed our company’s latest products. As the veterans and shareholders of Mu Group, we cannot continue to incur such losses." 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

"If Miss Mu insists on continuing this series, then the board will have to reconsider whether you are suitable to be the president and whether the Mu family still has the right to be the helm of the Mu Group."

These different voices entered Mu Lezhu’s ears one by one, making her mind increasingly confused. The only thing she knew clearly was that all these selfish, cunning, and hypocritical faces only cared about their own interests. None truly cared for the Mu Group.

In the more than three months since Old Sir Mu became ill, she had seen too much, with hypocritical words and artificial expressions passing through her mind one by one.

She admitted that she was inexperienced and did not understand many things; she was not their opponent. However, she had no choice but to hold on because she was there to protect her grandfather’s lifelong efforts. She absolutely could not let these scheming old individuals take the slightest advantage.

Their voices continued, but Mu Lezhu did not want to listen anymore. She attempted to speak to interrupt them, but every time she spoke, those old foxes would drown her out with louder voices, not giving her a chance.

While Mu Lezhu was a person with opinions, she had been well protected by Old Sir Mu since childhood, which had nurtured her gentle and intellectual nature. Although she occasionally showed a domineering side, she was still far from being a match for those seasoned old foxes in the business world.

The secretary by her side was a middle-aged woman, Jian Qin, whom Old Sir Mu trusted the most. Since Old Sir Mu fell ill, she had helped Mu Lezhu with many things.

Jian Qin, as her name suggests, was simple, efficient, and capable, a business elite. She had been with Old Sir Mu for 21 years, never leaving the Mu Group since graduation, always serving as Old Sir Mu’s secretary. She was very well-versed in the Mu Group and Old Sir Mu.

Old Sir Mu regarded her as his own daughter. Jian Qin valued Old Sir Mu’s kindness because he saved her son’s life, so she treated Mu Lezhu as her own daughter, helping her and the entire Mu Group as much as she could to navigate this crisis.

"Everyone on the board, please calm down. Can we let President Mu say a few words?" Jian Qin looked at Mu Lezhu holding her forehead with a headache, feeling a bit sympathetic. Normally, a secretary should not intervene in such situations. She usually had strong boundaries, but for Mu Lezhu, she couldn’t help it.

As soon as Jian Qin spoke, the eight or nine directors present turned their attention to her. Several of them frowned disdainfully and displeasedly: "Secretary Jian, it seems this isn’t the place for you to speak! After all these years with Old Sir Mu, you still don’t know the rules, or has his illness caused you to forget what rules are?"

"Chairman Zheng, if I remember correctly, your rules were also taught by Old Sir Mu, weren’t they? How? Just a few months after he fell ill, are you giving his granddaughter and his secretary a hard time?" No sooner had the middle-aged director finished speaking than the double glass doors of the meeting room were pushed open, and a cold and indifferent yet lazy male voice, as if watching the show, echoed in every corner of the meeting room, striking the dust in the air.

Mu Lezhu froze for a few seconds upon hearing this familiar voice before slowly turning her head toward the door, where a handsome figure in a navy double-breasted suit entered her view.

Lu Jingang’s arrival caught everyone off guard, and the meeting room fell silent immediately.

Everyone present knew what a decisive figure Lu Jingang was in the business world. Despite his young age, his methods even intimidated these old foxes from daring to offend him.

In comparison, they regarded Mu Lezhu as a soft target, easy to manipulate, but Lu Jingang was different. He was a hard nut to crack, the kind that might hurt your teeth if not handled carefully.

"President Lu, you’re here," Jian Qin smiled slightly, noting the reactions of those old foxes, and nodded politely and respectfully toward Lu Jingang.

Lu Jingang glanced at Mu Lezhu’s simple and beautiful face, raised his eyebrows slightly, then re-directed his gaze towards the others, finally settling on Chairman Hao. There was a hint of mockery in his words: "Chairman Hao, if Secretary Jian hadn’t informed me about today’s board meeting, I would have been kept in the dark."
