At the beginning, he was mistakenly identified as the person receiving the certificate by the boss.

Lu Chengze was originally full of expectations, but when he heard Fang Yan's words, he was dumbfounded.

Are you stupid? Dyed roses?

What the hell is this?

Seeing that he was still standing outside, Fang Yan pulled him in and closed the door.

"Are you stupid? Lu Chengze."

Lu Chengze looked at her and said he was stupid, but he didn't dare to refute.

He looked down at the flowers again, and then asked in disbelief: "You said these are dyed roses?"

Fang Yan raised her eyebrows, "Yeah, they wouldn't sell it to you as blue roses, would they?" In fact, she already had the answer in her mind, just by looking at Lu Chengze's expression.

"The store said this is a new variety, and the planting volume is very small, so it is so expensive." Lu Chengze was still looking at it, but it didn't look like it was dyed anyway.

Fang Yan pouted, sure enough!

"If you don't believe it, just look up the difference between blue roses and dyed roses on the Internet."

Seeing that Lu Chengze's face looked a little ugly, Fang Yan quickly made up for it: "However, it is really difficult to distinguish this. Many people will admit it wrong. I only know it because I have seen it before."

Lu Chengze didn't bother to check online. Since Fang Yan said it for sure, it was 100% false!

But now he hated the owner of the flower shop. It wasn't that he was defrauded of his money, but that he was embarrassed in front of Fang Yan.

You must report him tomorrow and let the relevant departments investigate him. It is best to find out that he has closed down.

Lu Chengze gritted his teeth and thought, then heard Fang Yan say again: "Okay, don't be angry. Although it's a fake, it's still pretty good-looking. I'll go find a vase and put it in it."

Lu Chengze saw that she seemed really lifeless at the moment, so he tried to ask, "You think she looks pretty?"

"It's not bad! But if you want to put some flowers at home in the future, just buy red roses. They are cheaper. You really don't need to buy such expensive ones."

Then I thought that people are rich and don't care about this at all.

So he added: "Well, it's fine if you think it looks good. It would be nice to have some flowers at home. I'll go find a vase!"

Fang Yan said, taking the bouquet from his hand and preparing to insert it.

"Do you think red roses look good?" Lu Chengze keenly caught the key point in Fang Yan's words.

"Yeah, it's pretty!" Fang Yan thought it was cheap, and it didn't matter what color the flowers were inserted into.

Lu Chengze silently made a note in his heart. It turned out that she liked red roses!

Then he realized, that’s not right!

She was the only woman in the family. Why did she ask him to buy flowers?

Need flowers at home? She has lived here for several months. When did she see him make a special trip to buy flowers for home?

Also, he was standing at the door, holding flowers in front of her, and she actually called him stupid?

How incomprehensible is this woman?

And also slow!

Seeing that Fang Yan found a vase and put the flowers in it, Lu Chengze felt extremely aggrieved.

But looking at Fang Yan, she seemed to be no longer angry, and she breathed a sigh of relief. Just don’t be angry!

Looking at the time again, it was almost 7pm. So he quickly took off his coat and went to serve the food, and then called Fang Yan to come and eat.

----

The next day, Fang Yan no longer had to follow Lu Chengze to work, so Fang Yan slept until she woke up naturally as she wished.

Lu Chengze arrived at the company and held another meeting to announce the decision to suspend all deployments in North America.

Everyone saw that the boss's wife did not follow the boss to work today, and they knew that the matter was resolved.

Oops, not bad! Otherwise, doesn’t Director Cheng really want to resign?

But Director Cheng didn't come today. According to Vice President Cui, Director Cheng was sick and needed to rest for a few days.

Haha, are you sick? Among the company's leaders, apart from the boss who is recognized as a workaholic, Director Cheng is also called the Iron Lady by people in the company. Even if you are sick, as long as you can't get out of bed, you will never ask for leave.

But everyone here knows the inside story and knows that Vice President Cui always wants to ease the relationship between the boss and Director Cheng, so naturally no one talks nonsense without opening their eyes.

At noon, Lu Chengze received a call from Mr. Lu.

Lu Chengze squinted his eyes slightly and looked at the caller, Grandpa, displayed on the phone screen for a long time before picking up the call.

Lu Chengze didn't speak first.

The old man sighed and called out, "Chengze."

Lu Chengze still didn't speak.

The old man could only continue by himself: "I know this is something that is wrong with the family, but Chengze, you know how important the Lu Group is to our Lu family. That is the root of the Lu family!"

"Thirty years ago, the Lu Group was in crisis because of its complacency. How difficult was it at that time? You don't know, but ask your father? The industry left by our ancestors was almost destroyed in my hands. Finally, we passed The establishment of Lu's Medicine has survived. But who knows whether the same situation will happen in the future? I'm afraid! I have to make plans in advance."

"Cooperating with the Vanderner family is an excellent opportunity to plan in advance. If your cooperation with them goes well, I will not agree to come in and get involved. Think about it, how long have you been talking to grandpa? I am really interested Didn’t you already start grabbing this project?”

Ha, Lu Chengze sneered. Don't think that he doesn't know what Lu Chengye did in private. Don't they want to steal it? Was it because Vanderner didn't like Lu from the beginning?

However, he will definitely not say these words in front of the old man, there is no need. Carrying a name that disrespects the elders for nothing. Now that we have reached this point, the future business will be decided by everyone.

Then I heard the old man continue to say: "Since the Vandner family has already expressed the intention to terminate the contract with Zeren, if you insist on continuing to cooperate, it is very likely that they will not come up with the core technology at all. It is better to give this opportunity to the Lu family , are all named Lu, at least they won’t take advantage of outsiders.”

At this point, Lu Chengze spoke: "In that case, grandpa, just ask Lu Chengye to talk to me directly. Why do you want to involve my dad again?"

After hearing this, the old man fell silent.

He won't say anything like your father is also from the Lu Group, because it's too false. Everyone knows that Lu Jin is a marginal figure in the Lu Group.

But he did intend to let Lu Jin test Lu Chengze. To put it more bluntly, he just wanted Lu Chengze to be embarrassed because of Lu Jin's identity and have to nod.

At the same time, there was no need for him or Lu Chengye to come forward. In this way, there is no argument that the Lu Group owes Zeren a favor, but it is just a matter that the father and son reached in private.

Now that I think about it, this move is really bad. Not to mention that Lu Chengze is no longer the Lu Chengze he was a few years ago, and he will not be blackmailed by them. It also tore apart the illusion of harmony on the surface of the Lu family and severed the family relationship between ancestors and grandchildren.

But the old man is not an ordinary person after all. He is very good at losing face. He immediately reflected in front of his grandson: "Chengze, it is true that grandpa did not think carefully about this matter."

Ha, Lu Chengze felt like a knife had been stabbed in his heart. You, the grandfather, have apologized. How can he, the grandson, still care about it?

But does he really feel sorry for him?

He was trying to get him to let go.

Seeing this, Lu Chengze felt even sadder.

Oh, haven’t you seen it through already? What is he still hoping for?

Of course, Lu Chengze was not an ordinary person, so he suppressed the disappointment in his heart. I will no longer go around in circles with the old man. Getting to the point directly: "Grandpa, it's not impossible for Zeren to let go. But you also know that I have to explain to the shareholders."

This is worth talking about, but the compensation given by Lu is not enough.

The old man also knew him well and knew that he would definitely not ask for compensation of the same value as Vanderner's breach of contract compensation. But he was holding his breath and didn't want to agree so easily.

The old man responded simply and immediately: "Yes, I will let them increase the compensation items. Then you will see if you are satisfied."

Lu Chengze did not answer immediately, he was thinking in his heart, the old man is indeed the person who led the Lu family from the brink of death to where he is today.

As a grandfather, he can be so humble in front of his grandson. This kind of forbearance is enough for Lu Chengze to learn from him for a lifetime.

When the old man saw that he was silent, he took the initiative to speak: "Chengze, then grandpa is dead. If you have nothing to do, come back more often to accompany your grandma. She misses you very much."

Just when he was about to die, Lu Chengze's deep voice came: "Grandpa, just this once."

The old man held the phone in silence for a long time, and finally hung up the phone without saying anything.

This time it was indeed because of the family relationship that Mr. Lu had the opportunity to take advantage.

Sun Tzu's meaning was very clear. This trick would not work on him in the future. This can be regarded as telling him straightforwardly that he, Lu Chengze, and the Lu family will have two accounts in the future.
