Offer To The CEO

Wednesday, continued...

"Dad, settle down."

"No I will not, son." Lu Jinhu finally clicked how annoyed at him his father was, so he decided to be quiet.

"Then you, like an idiot decided to use company resources for your revenge, in particular senior management. Did you not think they would report to me? I might have left you in charge, but they know who their boss is, and it is not you, despite being the Vice-CEO. You have no f**king idea how to run a company."

"OK, I will have to give it to you, the children's charity was a brilliant move, and ensuring that no one connected with Hou Enterprises knew about it and could be one of he initial donors was great. It would always cut off their charitable initiative and make them look like idiots. Children against women victims of violence. We know this country does not give a care about the latter, but children they are a blessing."

"However, you should know that Hou Yi is not an idiot. He would respond. It was predictable he would challenge you to donate to his charity and match that and more as a donation to the your charity. It was however not predictable the challenge set to his staff. But it is donations, and that is good."

"However, you two idiots did not think. You had to attend the press conference, to be there to gloat about them being grilled, and walked into a situation where you had no control. You should have thought and realised going was not a good idea, and if and Lu Corporation Public Relations staff advised you two to go, I will have their heads, they know better."

"And the f**king press simply had to ask the question. Not saying anything and looking at you was a masterstroke. Combined with hustling that f**king wife of his away, gave the answer without words, and in such a way that you can do nothing."

"Then, last night, you screwed up big time. It was a good tactic to talk to a friend Jinhu, I have to give you that. But you did not have Hou Yi watched. You assumed that he would follow his usual routine. You should have had them watched and ensured that they were delayed before taking the step. They arrived and overheard the conversation."

"That was recoverable from, but you two could not control yourself. You simply had to physically attack her where it could be seen. Do you two not even think."

By this time both Lu JInhu and Yang Lin, realised that even more and more anger was coming through in the call.

"Dad, I knew I had someone I could trust to talk to…"

"That does not matter. You failed to plan which guaranteed failure. Your actions now have significant consequences. I have spent half of the night on the phone trying to save business connections. Everyone wants to dump being involved with us, because you dared to assault Hou Yi's wife. They fear the damage to their business from Hou Enterprises more than the damage we can cause them."

"Dad…"

"Just shut the f**k up. I am going to have my say" he screamed down the phone.

Yang Lin reached over and put her hand on Lu Jinhu's shoulder to try and settle him down, as the last thing that they needed to do was annoy his father so much that he was cut off from all the Lu's money. Lu Jinhu, paused and decided not to respond taking the message that his wife was sending him.

"I have to cut this break short with your mother. We needed it. Do not step back into the company at this time. The company needs to be seen apart from you to protect it. You can come back in later. It will be announced that Yang Lin's pregnancy has some difficulties, hence why no one knew about it, and you are going to spend time with her, and focus her at this time."

"Your mother will take over the charity, and after a few months we will ease you back into it quietly before you come back to the company."

"I just pray that this will prevent too much damage to the company. And Jinhu …

"Yes Dad?"

"You better stop all actions to destroy Hou Enterprises, Hou YI and that b**ch of an ex of yours before it goes to much further. The company has to be protected"

"Yes dad. I will send an email immediately."

"No, I've sent an email to all senior management, to stop anything you planned regarding Hou Enterprises, Hou Yi and his wife. My assistant is backing up your office and will bring your items to you. I will not, however cut you off from money, provided you follow my rules. Those I will tell you face to face in a few hours."
