Offer To The CEO

442 Falling into the Trap - Part 1

Sunday, continued …

Looking at his father Lu Jinhu realised he had finally gotten through.Keeping going the way he was, he would loose his position as CEO of Lu Corporation, something that was tied to his identity, let alone significant influence in his grandchild's life.

Lu Jinhu, however paused.Despite having spent the time he had in Australia manipulating that b*tch to secure his Australian even he had heard the vague rumours of his father's actions regarding the young girls and women artists with their entertainment division.There was concerns for some shareholders and board members, but given no one could prove anything nothing was really done.

The rumours had gotten stronger in the weeks leading up to his home detention, and he was not going to raise with the old man.He had seen two of the artists that had jumped to than new joint venture by those pains Hou Yi and Yao Tan, were ones that his father andRong Jingye had favoured over the last twelve months.That angered him.

In a polite calm voice, given his father was finally listening Lu Jinhu said "Dad, have you finally now gotten your head around the problem.You need to remain calm, or the potential is a backfire on not only me and your daughter-in-law ending up with us in jail, but on you and the company."

Having that brat of a son berate him, angered CEO Lu.He had no right to speak to him like that, and considered playing the blackmail cards he had to pull him into line.He immediately dismissed that as his son had presently called his bluff so at this moment it would be ineffective.

However, Lu Jinhu was right.The b*tch of a wife of Hou Yi was a major problem.He just needed to figure out what to do.He had from the background seen in court how she had twisted his son in that video link with Australia, and from Australian contacts he found out that she was like that constantly.

The strange thing was despite that, Lu jinhu outside the court arena had been able to perfectly manipulate her.He could not understand why she had been vulnerable in that way and had not reacted against him.Crossing verbal swords, with her however had backfired particularly as of the backing she had.She was not as vulnerable has he had per previously.that needed to be dealt with.

Hou Yi, however was a known quantity.He had presented in society a mild-mannered persona, but had demonstrated how aggressive, hard nosed and ruthless in business, often manipulating situations from behind the scenes without effecting that societal persona.He had turned those skills in helping his wife.

They needed to pay, but how to achieve that was for another day.He just needed to get his son under control before they finished their allowed visit and then he would be meeting Rong Jingye for a relaxing night.

Calmly, not betraying his real feelings, CEO Lu turned and said."Fine I get the message, but you damn well better make sure that you protect my back.Remember what I can do."

"Father, just settle down.I …"

"Do not tell mewhat to do, you know I have the power here, unless you want things to happen to people you are for or things to come out."

"Father, let me finish, otherwise someone would think you are paranoid.I need…"

"No I am notparanoid."

"You are doing it again.I need to finish.I will do what I can, but the last thing I need or want, is to end up in jail, so I have to protect myself.If I can think on my feet I will do what I can protect you, but you have to accept I cannot do everything, particularly as I am trapped here, other than the occasional pre-approved appointment for more than three months more.Sometimes, I will spin, but there will be occasions that I cannot, and you have to accept that."

"No damn way.You will …"

"Just stop it.I know you are going to threaten me more, with the safety of people of disclosure of information, however think wider.There will be others, if you are determined to pass on the blame that you can look to.Try and undermine other extended family members that will undermine them if there becomes an issue.You keep undermining me, and when you cannot be CEO any more, your scheming will end by resulting in someone else being in control of he company and holding the balance of your life's financial future in your hands.I will do what I can, and leave it at that."
