Rebirth in 1985

Chapter 303 Resignation

The Fok family banquet was hosted by Fok Ying-tung's three sons as usual, and Fok Ying-tung only showed up briefly at the beginning of the banquet. As for Lu Shaohua, he did not appear at the banquet from beginning to end. Fortunately, this time he was not sitting alone in the small living room in a daze, but was accompanied by Li Zekai, the future little giant.

Although the small living room is small, it has everything needed. There is also a small bar at the counter. Li Zekai did not seem to know how to be polite. He picked up two glasses, took a bottle of red wine that looked quite old and poured two glasses, one for Lu Shaohua and the other in his hand. He clinked the glasses together and took a small sip.

When others toasted him, Lu Shaohua naturally couldn't be rude, so he took a sip with Li Zekai, and then looked at Li Zekai with a smile. He knew that Li Zekai must have something to say, and he spoke after the wine glass was put down on the table.

Sure enough, Li Zekai spoke as soon as he put down his glass, saying directly, "I want to leave Longteng and start my own business."

Li Zekai's ambitions are much greater than others, and it was also Lu Shaohua's expectation that he would start his own business. It's just that this time came too quickly. Lu Shaohua originally thought that Li Zekai would stay in Longteng for three to five years, but now, in less than two years, he proposed to start his own business.

"Have you thought it through?" Lu Shaohua asked, and Li Zekai nodded seriously, waiting for Lu Shaohua's next words. As early as when Li Zekai was chosen to be the general manager of Longteng Venture Capital, Li Zekai proposed that if he wanted to start a business in the future, he must let him go. At that time, Lu Shaohua and Li Jiacheng also agreed. Now that it was proposed, Lu Shaohua naturally could not go back on his word and said. "Okay, but I still want to say that starting a business is not as easy as imagined."

Although Lu Shaohua did not spend much time with Li Zekai, he still knew Li Zekai relatively well. Unlike other second-class rich people who rely on their parents' resources to develop themselves, Li Zekai's ambition is to create his own empire, and he started from scratch.

"Haha! I'm prepared." Li Zekai smiled, as if he had seen through the difficulties he would encounter after starting his own business. "By the way, the deputy manager at Longteng is a talented person. If I leave, he can handle the situation on his own."

"Yeah." Lu Shaohua responded. At that time, Lu Shaohua had said that Li Zekai himself was leaving and that he had to train someone who could take over the responsibility. Undoubtedly, the deputy manager he was talking about was the successor he had found. "Have you told your father about this?"

"No." Li Zekai showed an embarrassment when he said this, and then said, "I came to tell you because I was afraid that my father would not agree. If you can help to say a few words in front of my father, I think he will agree to let me leave."

Lu Shaohua understood that Li Zekai wanted Lu Shaohua to be a lobbyist, but Lu Shaohua didn't mind at all and said, "I will tell your father."

After that, Lu Shaohua patted Li Zekai on the shoulder, like a brother, and said, "If you need anything, tell me. If you need start-up capital, I can consider it as a future equity investment, haha."

Lu Shaohua's words seem to be a joke, but in fact, he is serious. If Li Zekai really plans to start his own company and needs funds, Lu Shaohua is very willing to give him money as start-up capital.

"Haha! If there's anything I need, I'll tell you." Similarly, Li Zekai and Lu Shaohua had only known each other for a short time, but he understood that Lu Shaohua wasn't joking when he said this.

"Well, I'll talk to your father and Mr. Huo about this later." Lu Shaohua also said more.

"Ok!"

……

Just like that, Lu Shaohua and Zekai seemed to have reached a tacit understanding. They stopped talking about Longteng and turned the topic to some gossip. Not long after they started chatting, another guest came to the small living room. No, to be precise, the guest was the owner of the small living room, Ho Ying-tung's youngest son - Ho Chun-wan.

With the addition of Huo Zhenhuan, the three chatted more happily. Of course, while chatting, the bottle of red wine of some age was also empty. When Huo Zhenhuan was about to open another bottle, Huo Yingdong came back unexpectedly. Seeing Huo Zhenhuan staying in the small living room, he glared and said, "I was wondering why I couldn't find you. It turns out that you came here to steal wine. Go and entertain the guests."

What else could Huo Zhenhuan do? He ran away in shame, muttering quietly, "I just came here to slack off because I have to entertain guests."

The voice was neither too loud nor too soft, just right, and every word was heard by everyone, causing Lu Shaohua and Li Zekai to laugh. However, Ho Ying-tung glared at Ho Chun-wan in an unpleasant way, showing the majesty that one should have, and only turned into kindness when Ho Chun-wan walked out of the small living room.

Huo Yingdong came over, and Li Jiacheng came over soon. At this point, all three shareholders of Longteng Venture Capital were present. Lu Shaohua also felt that it was time to talk about Li Zekai, so he said, "Grandpa Huo, Uncle Li, Brother Zekai wants to start his own business, so Longteng needs to make new arrangements."

"Oh?" Huo Yingdong was stunned for a moment, then suddenly seemed to have thought of something and continued, "I have no objection. Young people should go out and try their luck."

Li Jiacheng was different. He did not answer immediately. He glanced at Li Zekai and asked, "It's decided."

"It's decided." Li Zekai lowered his head and said in a low voice. Facing his father Li Jiacheng, he didn't dare to act rashly and didn't even have the courage to look him in the eye.

After getting his son's answer, Li Jiacheng looked at Lu Shaohua. At this time, Lu Shaohua also accepted Li Jiacheng's gaze and nodded lightly to show his agreement and support.

"Well, you are not young anymore, you should make your own decisions." Li Jiacheng said meaningfully.

No one knows a son better than his father. Li Jiacheng knows exactly what kind of person Li Zekai is. An eagle will eventually fly into the sky. Obviously, in Li Jiacheng's heart, Li Zekai is an eagle, but the eagle's feathers are not yet full. However, it is time for him to come out for training.

The next things became simple. After a brief discussion, the three decided to let the candidate proposed by Li Zekai take over as the general manager of Longteng. Li Zekai was forced by Lu Shaohua to be given the role of consultant, which was also a salary for him. He was then allowed to go back to Longteng to give instructions when he was free.

The matter of Longteng came to an end, and the other eight directors of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce also hid in the small living room one after another. Suddenly, the small living room became lively and full of laughter. Of course, the result of the liveliness was that the five bottles of red wine of some years in the small bar were sold out at once.

……

The banquet did not last long and ended at 9:30 in the evening. The guests left the Huo's villa one after another. Lu Shaohua and Li Jiacheng were the last group to leave the Huo's villa. Eight other directors of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce also left at the same time.

Lu Shaohua was escorted by Li Shangkui and others. It was already past ten o'clock in the evening when the three cars arrived at his villa. Perhaps because he was too sleepy or because he had drunk red wine, Lu Shaohua returned to his room, took off his clothes, and went to bed to sleep.

When the sun rose the next day, Lu Shaohua opened his eyes and saw that it was already nine o'clock. He stretched, tidied up the clothes that were scattered around last night, took a hot shower, and then happily returned to the first floor to have breakfast.

On the first day back in Hong Kong, Lu Shaohua did not plan to stay in the villa, so after breakfast he set off for Phoenix Building. As Lu Shaohua was away for more than ten days, the documents in the office piled up into a large pile, so the moment he entered the office, Lu Shaohua felt a headache, secretly estimated that it would take at least two days to finish reading the pile of documents.

His own company had to deal with all the documents, no matter how many they were. He was planning to build an economic empire, so he had to pay the price. He shook his head, calmed down, and then sat in the boss chair and started to read the documents.

In the blink of an eye, half a day had passed and it was time for lunch. Li Shangkui could not help but interrupt Lu Shaohua who was reading a document carefully, but Lu Shaohua had no intention of eating lunch. He waved his hand and asked them to go eat and then bring him a fast food meal.

They still had to eat, so Li Shangkui and the others didn't say anything. They got up and prepared to have lunch. However, when they left, he asked Yang Yang and Li Wusheng to stay behind to be responsible for Lu Shaohua's safety.

Time passed bit by bit. Li Shangkui brought back a sumptuous fast food. Lu Shaohua just ate it casually and started working again after filling his stomach. It was only then that he realized that the backlog of documents was indeed a hassle. When he was in Hong Kong before, he dealt with them every few days. If Lu Shaohua did not come to Phoenix Building, Liu Mingzhang would bring the documents to Lu Shaohua for him to deal with. Now, he had been away for only more than ten days and a large pile of documents had accumulated.

Just like that, the pile of documents gradually became smaller, and Lu Shaohua's eyes became more and more sore and dry, as if tears were about to flow out. Lu Shaohua had no choice but to suppress the idea of ​​continuing to process the documents. However, the document he had in his hand had to be processed and completed, as it would be the last document to be processed today.

The document in his hand was from a few days ago. It was about Phoenix Entertainment. The general content was that Chen Darong proposed to expand the company's business, prepare to build a recording studio, and then start producing records for the company's artists.

After reading halfway, Lu Shaohua frowned, his eyes rolled around, and he started to read the document carefully from the beginning again. Only after he finished reading it did Lu Shaohua notice Qin Sichen's signature at the bottom, with the words "agree" and "send to the chairman for approval".

He closed the file, took a long breath, rested his head on the back of the boss chair, closed his eyes and fell into deep thought. His face was calm, as if he was thinking about something. After a long time, he opened his eyes, rubbed them gently with his hands, picked up the phone and called Chen Darong.

Soon, the call was connected, and Lu Shaohua simply said, "Come up to my office, I have something to talk to you about."

"Come right away."
