The other man paused for a moment before laughing and saying, “You misunderstood. After a month of assessing, we think that your company has great potential and would be an excellent investment. After learning about your company’s entrepreneurial history, CEO Lu believes that people like you and your team will definitely be able to create greater value. It would be such a shame if you resign.”


  Qin Shao was stunned. “Didn’t you previously say……”


  “If you have any ideas or opinions, you can contact CEO Lu. CEO Lu will welcome your calls.” After saying that, he handed Lu Beichuan’s business card to Qin Shao.

  Since the Lu’s company had decided to acquire Genesis, Lu Beichuan had left the matter to his employees to handle. He never asked any questions about the acquisition. It was as if Lu Beichuan thought Genesis was only a dispensable small company, but Genesis meant everything to Qin Shao.

  Original translation is from fuyuneko dot org. If you’re reading this elsewhere, this chapter has been stolen. Please stop supporting theft.

  He had hoped that the company that acquired Genesis would respect and value it instead of seeing it as only a money-making tool.

  Holding the business card, Qin Shao was speechless.

  It seemed that Lu Beichuan was different from how the rumors portrayed him.

  ***

  By the time Lu Beichuan returned home that evening at 10 PM, he had toiled away at work for many hours. Right after stepping through the doorway, he saw his mother sitting on the couch and looking very worried.

  Lu Beichuan halted. “Why are you still awake?”


  Mrs. Lu sighed. “I’ll go to sleep soon. You should go check on Zhenzhen first.”


  Her tone sounded off.

  “What’s wrong?” Lu Beichuan had been busy with work lately. It had already been ten days in a row since he left early in the morning and came home late at night. He hadn’t had time to sit down and eat with his family for a while now.

  Like a wilted flower, Mrs. Lu waved her hand. She seemed very dejected. “It’s nothing. You can go upstairs.”


  “Just tell me.”


  Mrs. Lu was silent for a moment. In the end, she couldn’t resist complaining to her son. “Zhenzhen almost started arguing with me today.”


  “What happened?” Was there a crack between the harmonious mother-in-law and daughter-in-law relationship?

  “I just…… I just prepared a few items in advance for my grandson. Zhenzhen insisted that I’m spoiling the baby too much. I’m the baby’s grandma. I only bought a few items. What’s wrong with that? There’ll definitely be a use for those items when he grows up.”


  Speaking up to this point, Mother Lu’s tone was very aggrieved.

  A month ago, she had invited her friends over to drink tea. The day after that, the villa was filled with children’s clothing and toys. Even now, she was buying baby’s supplies nonstop. And, after the designer had come up with a design, Mother Lu immediately hired workers to renovate the nursery.

  She didn’t feel as if she had done anything wrong. This was the Lu’s only grandson. In the future, the entire Lu family would belong to him! What was the big deal about buying a few items?

  Besides, she had bought these items with her personal money.

  Although Lu Beichuan didn’t know exactly what his mother had purchased, he knew that Ye Zhen had objections to spoiling their child.

  “Mom, don’t worry. I’ll talk to Zhenzhen.”


  Mrs. Lu quickly reminded him, “Just talk with her. Don’t say anything harsh. If she’s really unhappy about this, don’t insist that she change her mind. Just agree with her. Her intentions are good. She’s only thinking about the baby’s well-being.”


  “I understand.” After saying that, Lu Beichuan walked upstairs to his master bedroom.
