Chapter 1313: Chapter 1313: I Can’t Give Less Than Gu Guotai Chapter 1313: Chapter 1313: I Can’t Give Less Than Gu Guotai Qiao Yin was stunned, almost thinking she had misheard, “What did you say? CEO position at Shengling Group?”

“Yes, I’d like to represent the Board of Directors and hire you as our group’s CEO to help manage and operate the entire group.”

Qiao Yin glanced at Lu Lingche subconsciously. Was Lu Mingzhen doing this because his son was unwilling to take over the group, and so he had set his sights on her instead?

“This… isn’t appropriate, is it? My abilities managing a hospital are already at their limit. Shengling Group is such a large entity, how could I manage it well? I severely lack experience in this area; you should find someone else…”

“Don’t worry about this. I will have someone from the group teach you the basics and then I will personally guide you to familiarize yourself with our business operations and teach you how to manage.”

Lu Mingzhen’s usually stern face softened, revealing a rare warmth, “If you are willing to become the CEO of Shengling Group, the group will offer you an annual salary of ten million. Besides that, I will personally give you a portion of the group’s shares.”

Qiao Yin was shocked, “An annual salary of ten million is quite normal, but you want to give me shares of the group too? This… ”
She looked towards Lu Lingche once again.

He was now Lu Mingzhen’s only son. If Lu Mingzhen gave her the shares, it would be akin to taking them from his own son. Yet he remained indifferent?

Indeed, Lu Lingche was indifferent. He didn’t care about the group’s shares; Lu Mingzhen had never intended to give the group to him in the first place. He had known since childhood that the group had nothing to do with him, just like the family fortune had nothing to do with him, so he had never felt the group’s money was his.

After all, Qiao Yin was not an outsider; he was actually willing to give the shares to her.

Yet, the preferential treatment Lu Mingzhen gave her did make his eyes turn a bit colder.

Originally, Lu Mingzhen had only given him an annual salary of one million. Why had it become ten million when it came to Qiao Yin? A tenfold increase–was he trying to anger him?

However, Lu Mingzhen’s offering Qiao Yin an annual salary of ten million wasn’t to anger Lu Lingche.

The one million annual salary he had offered Lu Lingche was because he thought Lu Lingche lacked the ability; giving one million was just a token gesture.

Now, Qiao Yin’s capabilities were evident. She had managed the hospital very well, even reviving it from the brink of bankruptcy. Such ability was not common.

She had managed the hospital so well without any guidance, which sufficiently proved her innate talent for this.

He even felt that offering Qiao Yin an annual salary of ten million was low.

“Qiao Yin, I heard that after you returned to the Gu Family, Old Sir Gu gave you a lot of shares, worth roughly three billion?”

This was no secret anymore, and Qiao Yin nodded, “Yes, my grandfather did give me three billion worth of shares.”

“Since he gave you three billion, I won’t give less. I’ll give you six billion in shares. Then you’ll be a shareholder of Shengling Group. As a shareholder, becoming the new CEO is quite reasonable, right?”

Qiao Yin suspected that in order to spite Lu Lingche, Lu Mingzhen was willing to pay a heavy price! He was ready to give her six billion in shares–this was even more shocking than Gu Guotai’s grand gesture!

She quickly refused, “No, no, Uncle Lu, there’s no need. With my level of skill, I really can’t manage such a large group. You should find a professional to take the CEO position. As for the shares, you could give them to him. I believe that in the face of such a significant interest, anyone would do their utmost to manage the group.”

Lu Mingzhen, however, laughed, “Do you think my shares are easy to obtain? Do you think I would give them to just anyone? The reason I am willing to give you these shares is largely because you and your grandmother have been good to the Lu Family.”

“Furthermore, Lingche likes you. Even though you’re divorced now, I still regard you as my daughter-in-law. That’s why I’m willing to give six billion in shares. If it were someone else, I certainly wouldn’t be so generous.”

Qiao Yin was taken aback; she hadn’t expected him to speak such blunt truths!

“Uncle Lu, my grandmother and I indeed treated you and your family, but as doctors, healing people is our duty. Receiving due compensation is already enough. You don’t need to repay us.”
