Chapter 917 Ready To Take The Charge...
Lu Mansion…
Lu Lijun woke up early in the morning. He couldn't sleep properly, thinking if Jiang Yuyan was back and paid attention if he could hear any movement on the second floor so that he could be sure she was back.
He had no idea if she was in her room or not but thought to check. Just then, he heard the sound of the door open and close, and he was sure it came from her room. He got out of bed to go to her and to know if she was fine.
He waited for a bit, thinking about what excuse he could give her if she asked why he was there. Getting an idea, he stepped out of his room and went to her room.
Lu Lijun knocked on the door, and the door opened, but that was not Jiang Yuyan.
"Fourth young master," the servant bowed to him, "Young mistress is not in her room," she replied.
"Where is she?" Lu Lijun asked.
"Young mistress didn't return home," the servant replied, and Lu Lijun turned to leave as so many thoughts rushed in his mind and made him feel worried about her.
Lu Lijun went to freshen up, and when he came out of the bathroom after having a shower, someone knocked on the door.
"Who is it?" Lu Lijun asked as he was in just a towel and was used to being like this in front of his family's people.
"It's me, fourth young master," the person said.
Lu Lijun recognized the voice and instructed, "Come in."
The butler Xu Dui entered the room carrying a suit and one box, "This is for the fourth young master as it's an important day," the butler informed.
"I don't need this. I won't be joining the meeting," Lu Lijun declared.
"Young mistress has sent this and…."
"Put it there," Lu Lijun interrupted, signaling the butler to keep it on the bed. Just her name was enough to convince him.
The butler did so and left. Lu Lijun stared at the suite for a while and picked it up. He got ready in the suit and the shoes in the box, set his hair neatly, and looked handsome than usual.
When he went downstairs, everyone looked at him in surprise as they saw him in a suit for the first time since he returned home. They saw him during his convocation but seeing him in person was a different experience.
"He Looks like his elder brother, so handsome so royal," elder Lu commented.
Ning Jiahui, who couldn't stop admiring her handsome son, commented, "For a moment I thought my Lu Qiang is back," her eyes turned moist.
"He is the future of Lu Corporation." Lu Jinhai already felt proud of having him as a son, and he was sure one day his son would make them all proud.
"We were right years back that he would be one more lady killer in the family," Lu Boa said in a low voice as the sisters stood away from others.
"The temperature in Lu Corporation is going to be on the higher side," Wang Shu added.
"No doubt as he took after elder brother," Lu Lian said, and the other two nodded.
Lu Lijun felt awkward with all stares at him and slowed down his steps.
The butler informed that breakfast was ready and broke that awkwardness as the others stopped staring at him.
After breakfast, Lu Lijun left with his father and reached the Lu corporation office to prepare for their meeting.
"Is Yuyan here?" Lu Jinhai asked Yu Fan when they entered the Lu Corporation building.
"There is something I need to tell Mr. Chairman," Yu Fan informed.
Lu Jinhai didn't ask anything on the way, but they talked in his office.
Lu Jinhai sat in his chair, and Lu Liijun sat opposite him while Yu Fan stood to report them.
"President Lu won't be here, and she wouldn't be able to attend the meeting today," Yu Fan informed.
Lu Jinhai exclaimed in surprise, "What? But the next moment, he calmed down, feeling worried about Jiang Yuyan. She was not the kind who would leave her work for no reason.
"Where is she and tell me she is alright?" Lu Jinhai said as the worry painted on his face.
More than Lu Jinhai, the calm looking person was worried who tried to be calm since the previous night.
"I am not sure, but I have been asked to get the fourth young master to the meeting, and he would be the one taking charge in place for president Lu," Yu Fan replied.
"Lu Lijun?" Lu Jinhai asked surprisingly.
Lu Lijun was as shocked as his father. He didn't know how to react to it, but more than that now he was worried about where she was and what exactly happened to her.
"Yes, Mr. Chairman. President Lu believes fourth young master can do it," Yu Fan added.
"Lu Lijun, you have to take over it now," Lu Jinhai declared.
"But father…."
"We don't have time, and we don't know where Yuyan is. If she is not here, then it must be something important," Lu Jinhai interrupted him. "We can't let her down when she needs us."
Lu Lijun agreed, but his mind was somewhere else. He left with his father and Yu Fan to the place where the meeting was held and had decided to represent the project to all the investors.
One huge project plan involved its expansion in China and the foreign countries that needed investors from other countries.
When the meeting started, and Lu Lijun stood in front of the screen to present the project. Everyone had been informed that President Lu couldn't make it, so the fourth young master would be the one to take charge.
Though no one knew Lu Lijun personally, everyone was aware that he was the future leader of Lu Corporations, and they had to keep good relations with him. The entire business world knew about how smart he was and where he had studied. Moreover, he was the younger brother of late President Lu, so nothing less could expect from him.
