Hand In Hand

As the board meeting concluded, everyone dispersed. A few members left with a sense of satisfaction about the appointment of the new president, while others were apprehensive about the implications of having a leader who had so openly threatened them. With their actions already exposed, they had no choice but to await the chairman's decision and contemplate how to seek his forgiveness.

With the other board members gone, leaving only the Lu family members and their three assistants, Lu Han stood and approached Lu Lijun. "Congratulations, Lijun. I'm proud of how you handled those veterans. It reminded me of Lu Qiang."

"Thank you, brother," Lu Lijun responded. "And thank you for the help when they tried to approach you and for giving me leads on their intentions."
