Chapter 549 The Archway Was Erected Diligently
Is it possible that... this fact simply doesn't exist, or that he has no hope now?
Lu Mingye really wanted to glare at Lu Wangshen.
Now that's it, Lu Wangshen has finished demonstrating his close relationship with Ye Yifan and then dumped the problem on him again.
This statement would certainly make the situation of Ni Quan and Lu Dongli "offending" seem more serious, but...
"Times have changed, everyone. I don't need to explain, but you all know how outstanding Miss Ye is as a marriage prospect. There's nothing wrong with wanting to pick and choose a partner before marriage, is there?"
"No need to speak, I know what you mean," Lu Mingye said, pointing to an aunt who seemed about to speak. "Do you dare say that you married your uncle for love?"
"If anyone thinks that marriage should be based on love, they should leave the meeting now."
Lu Mingye said calmly.
"Besides... if you guys stop dragging me down, this kind of thing won't happen again, right? Get this straight, a shooting happened in our house, and Ye Lao Er was hit. The fact that she's willing to contact me now is already a testament to my ability."
"If anyone has any objections, well, they're not tied to me. If any of you single young people here have any ideas, please go and pursue them yourselves."
Immediately, someone voiced their opposition, "You make it sound so easy. Who knows if this is just a tactic you use to eliminate dissidents?"
"Exactly, while it's true that a beautiful woman is sought after by a gentleman, don't you mind being cuckolded? Lu Mingye, how come I never realized you were so generous before? Damn, that hurts!"
"Hey!"
Lu Wangshen picked up the cup in front of him and threw it at the head of the person behind him, then gave Lu Mingye a disapproving look.
The idea and statement themselves are not wrong; the problem lies in the subject being Ye Sanqing.
Ye Sanqing is the kind of woman who would never be happy to have many suitors; she would only find it troublesome...
Although Lu Mingye's words sound like a bluff, and probably no one in their right mind would do it, how many people in the Lu family are actually in their right minds?
However... perhaps it's a two-birds-with-one-stone strategy?
Just as someone said before, Lu Mingye was indeed fishing for trouble, to see who would be so bold and brainless as to go and do something that would offend both Ye Sanqing and him.
But what he said was also impeccable.
After all, it's impossible for a woman to automatically give him ownership of her just because he claims to be pursuing her.
"Go out and reflect on your actions. Do you think you can say things like 'being cuckolded'?"
Lu Mingye looked at the elder beside the man, who was both shocked and angry, and said, "You all get out too! How can you say such undignified things? How did you raise your child?"
"That's right. If word gets out, and Miss Ye hears this, do you think she'll still have a good impression of the Lu family?"
Lu Wangshen continued to hint with a grin.
I'm speechless. Some people never learn from their mistakes. It's like they don't know the pain until the whip hits them.
The cases of Lu Dongli and Ni Quan are still fresh in people's minds. Before offending someone, can you at least consider whether you can bear the consequences?
What do you mean by being cuckolded? She's already married to Lu Mingye!
Even if a man is pursuing a woman, does that mean she can't go out or contact anyone?
In the end, it was just having a meal with someone...
Alas, the Lu family's arrogance and attempts to establish a reputation for chastity are nothing new. Don't be fooled by how diligently they're building these facades now; in reality, very few of them have truly clean private lives.
The young man who was hit by the cup wanted to argue, but was led away by an elder who clearly looked unconvinced but still carried out the action.
Although Lu Mingye had been publicly recognized as the heir for some time, this was the first time he had so forcefully controlled the situation, and the meeting hall fell silent.
"I would like to give you all a piece of advice: you should know your own limitations."
Seeing that the situation was under control, Lu Mingye said seriously.
"Is Miss Ye the kind of women you usually associate with? She doesn't even have the most basic respect for people. She doesn't understand such a simple principle. No wonder none of her has achieved anything in her career."
"Fourth cousin, the dance hall I handed over to you last year, have you managed it well? I heard it's been inspected several times, why don't you make any changes? You just insist on clinging to the illegal parts, don't you? Don't come crying to me when you get caught."
"Second cousin, and your family, Uncle and Aunt, is your trendy milk tea shop profitable? How come there are rumors that you're scamming venture capitalists? Selling a cup of milk tea for fifty to one hundred yuan, I really don't know who would buy it. What, is it liquid gold?"
"And Uncle Ba, you're the same age as me, right? How can you still laugh? Didn't Lu Dongli and Ni Quan take you with them when they went out to play? I advise you to get a physical examination as soon as possible. Someone like you shouldn't get involved in Fifth Grandmother's medical business. I'm afraid the clients will think the hygiene conditions are not up to standard."
"And my seventh cousin..."
Every time Lu Mingye spoke, the profit and loss figures and year-on-year indices of the businesses they were currently responsible for were projected onto the big screen.
The crowd had been completely silent just moments before, but now they were shocked. It turned out that Lu Mingye had been waiting here all along!
Since becoming the heir, he seems to have been diligently managing the small businesses he has been involved in, which are the ones they dislike, and are basically manufacturing plants.
The contents were quite varied, including everything from mechanical parts and papermaking to even a cannery... not a canned food factory, but one that specialized in producing glass jars...
These things may not sound impressive, but the requirements are actually quite high. Hygiene standards, production standards, and so on need to be strictly enforced, so the profit margin is very small.
No one was willing to take it over. Although they all had businesses running, they were all businesses that allowed them to make money through loopholes and illicit means.
Modern factory processes are basically transparent, leaving them no room to maneuver, so nobody cares about them.
Just turning a profit would take a lot of effort, and they were happy to see Lu Mingye busy and overwhelmed... but it turned out to be all a smokescreen?
So Lu Mingye has been pretending to keep a low profile and being trapped in the small factory all along, but in reality he has been secretly investigating their situation?
At this point, bringing up family ties is clearly not going to work...
"Instead of wasting your time teaching me how to pursue girls, you should first make yourself look like a decent human being. Meeting adjourned!"
Lu Mingye criticized almost everyone.
Even though most of these people were shameless, they were almost struck down by his harsh words.
After saying the meeting was over, Lu Mingye left the venue and lit a cigarette by the door.
