Chapter 1314: Chapter 1314: The Old Fox Chapter 1314: Chapter 1314: The Old Fox Qiao Yin hesitated for a moment, but then spoke the truth: “Besides, when I divorced Lu Lingche, you didn’t despise me for asking for too much; you really did compensate me with a billion. The great favor you owed me has already been repaid, and the great grievances I had no longer feel so grievous.”

Lu Mingzhen spoke in a relaxed tone: “Each matter should be addressed on its own merits. Lingche’s divorce from you was not only his fault, but also a fault of myself and the entire Lu Family. It was only right for the Lu Family to compensate you for the wrongs you suffered. Although one billion is not a small amount, it’s nothing to the Lu Family.”

Qiao Yin spoke softly: “But to me, that was a huge sum of money, enough to smooth over everything.”

Lu Mingzhen paused for a moment, then suddenly said: “Qiao Yin, you might not know, but when I was discussing the marital alliance with Gu Chengqiao, Lingche actually always disagreed. No matter how I scolded him, he just wouldn’t agree to have a meal with Gu Ranxuan. That one time you were there for the meal, but actually, that was also by deceiving Lingche. If we had told him it was for a marital alliance, for having a meal with Gu Ranxuan, he would not have come home.”

“He’s always been resolute, not wanting to marry someone else; he still has you on his mind. I initially disagreed; I thought he had offended you thoroughly, and there was no chance for you two. That’s why I kept forcing him to marry Ranxuan.”

“He did indeed make you suffer before, but whether you reconcile with him is up to you. You don’t need to worry about anything else, not even the money.”

“But I do hope you will seriously consider the position of CEO of the company. It’s not just about the shares. More importantly, joining Shengling Group would allow you to learn a lot, to grow faster, which will be beneficial to the development of your own hospital in the future.”

“If you’re hesitant, why not come to the company and experience it for a couple of days? I’ll personally guide you and teach you some trade secrets of business management that are never passed on to outsiders.”

He spoke a lot this time, and Qiao Yin listened very carefully to every word.

After he finished speaking, Qiao Yin said: “Okay, I will consider it seriously, thank you, Uncle Lu.”

Lu Mingzhen nodded his head and rose to leave.

Lu Lingche watched his departing figure with an expressionless face, but internally he cursed Lu Mingzhen, calling him an old fox.

One moment he tried to buy off Qiao Yin with a high salary and shares; the next, he was quietly speaking up for him in front of her; and then fearing she wouldn’t go, he promised that she could try out being CEO for a couple of days to experience the pleasures of the position.

When had he ever seen him be so personable?

Not to mention clearing up some misunderstandings for her; it would have been good enough if he hadn’t added fuel to the fire. Now when he needed him, he was like a completely different person, eloquent and articulate.

He never knew his father had such a considerate and meticulous side. Could this have been the joy his elder brother had always experienced?

“Lu Lingche.”

Seeing him staring absently at the doorway, Qiao Yin couldn’t help calling out to him: “Are you alright?”

Lu Lingche came back to his senses and looked at her: “Why wouldn’t I be alright? Are you afraid I’ll be unhappy after hearing what my dad said?”

At this point, Qiao Yin really couldn’t tell whether he was actually fine or just pretending, so she chose to say: “Why don’t you go back to the company? If you don’t return, your dad is even coming to me to try to get me to take the CEO position.”

Lu Lingche sat down beside her, tucking a stray strand of hair behind her ear: “Do you want to go to the company for fun? He may not be great as a father, but as a businessman, there’s no one more successful than him, so his proposal is pretty good. You can experience it at Shengling Group for a couple of days and by the way, take a little bit of equity from that old fox.”

Qiao Yin glared at him: “What do I need his equity for, I’m not short of money. No, even if I were, I wouldn’t want it. And Shengling Group isn’t a playground; you better go back and be your CEO instead of being my assistant here!”

Lu Lingche shook his head helplessly; he knew that with Lu Mingzhen pulling this stunt, Qiao Yin would surely chase him away.

He even knew that if he continued to linger at Qiao Yin’s place and didn’t return to the company, Lu Mingzhen would come again.

The old fox had pinched his soft spot this time, using this tactic to force him back to the company!
