Young Brother-in-law Is Now My Husband-Chapter 1583: New President

"What do you mean by this, Lu Lijun?" Mister Fu challenged. "Are you implying Mister Zhi is not loyal?"

Without a hint of hesitation, Lu Lijun replied, "That is precisely what I am saying. Not only mister Zhi but I dare to question loyalties of many of you present here." His confident and unwavering demeanour showed he was well aware of what he was doing.

Mister Fu slammed his hands on the table. "Lu Lijun, you should not question our loyalty to Lu Corporation. We have been board members since before you were even born. Our loyalty has always been to the corporation."

"I only mentioned Mister Zhi, yet it seems Mister Fu feels a strong bond with him to take those words personally," Lu Lijun observed.

Mister Fu turned to Lu Jinhai. "Chairman Lu, won't you say something? We have been with you for so long. How can he accuse us like this?"

"We have agreed to give them a chance to prove their worth, haven't we?" Lu Jinhai responded calmly. "If Lu Lijun is wrong, then Mister Zhi should have no problem proving it."

Mister Fu turned to the man beside him, who nodded and stood up. "Mister Lu Lijun, I'm not sure how you came to this conclusion, but everyone here has been loyal to Lu Corporation and..."

"Things can change," Lu Lijun interjected. "Human nature is often filled with greed, and so loyalties and priorities can shift."

"I believe you have a reason for challenging our loyalty to Lu Corporation," Mister Zhi said, giving Lu Lijun a challenging glare.

Lu Lijun remained calm, offering a light smile. "One basic rule in facing challenges is to never make baseless accusations and I am well aware of that. By the end of this meeting, we all will know the accusations are not baseless."

He nodded to Noah, who connected his laptop to the projector and took control of the screen. The images displayed showed some board members in conversation with rivals, having dinner, and sharing drinks. "I wonder when a few of our board members began mingling so closely with our rivals, beyond just the usual gatherings?" Lu Lijun observed, noting the concerned faces turning pale. "You do look quite distinguished in these images, Mister Zhi," Lu Lijun remarked. "Mister Fu had just happened to leave earlier or we would have get to see his distinguish self as well. But no worries, we have more such images and....recordings." "Mister Lu Lijun, I'm not sure what you're trying to prove with these images. It's normal in the corporate world to meet like this, even with rivals. We can maintain cordial personal relations," Mister Zhi countered.

"I don't dispute that, Mister Zhi," Lu Lijun replied, signaling Noah to display more images. "But this seems to be more than casual meetings."

As the new images appeared, the color drained from Mister Zhi's face, mirrored by several others.

"The confidential information about our company has been shared with rivals, making it easier for them to take important projects from Lu Corporation. I wonder what they offered you in return for betraying the company to which you've dedicated years of hard work."

The screen continued to display more evidence, unequivocally supporting Lu Lijun's assertions.

Lu Lijun surveyed the room with a calm yet sharp and intimidating gaze. "I am not as merciful as President Lu. I won't hesitate to expose any misconduct that jeopardizes the company my father and family worked tirelessly to build, while others merely reaped the benefits. Whether or not you approve of me as president is irrelevant to me, nor do I need that title to accomplish what I set out to do. I will run this company my way, regardless of my official position. The shareholding I possess already grants me the authority to make decisions for this company, even if I were merely an ordinary employee."

Xiao Min then added, "The shares that belonged to President Lu Qiang have been transferred to Mister Lu Lijun. With his existing shares, he is now the majority shareholder of the company. Every member of the Lu family holding a significant number of shares has endorsed Mister Lu Lijun as the next president."

The room fell into a stunned silence, as everyone realized the futility of their machinations. The Lu family's shareholding alone was sufficient to endow Lu Lijun with considerable power. No family member would betray their kin to side with them.

This realization led to an inevitable question: Then, what was the purpose of this meeting?

Everyone grasped the situation loud and clear: under the pretense of a meeting to appoint a new president, it was actually a trap to gather everyone together and expose any betrayers of Lu Corporation. The images and information displayed on the screen revealed that Lu Lijun had been preparing for this moment since he first joined the company. He had embarked on a mission from the very beginning, orchestrating everything independently.

The depth and duration of Lu Lijun's planning were beyond anyone's comprehension. "Chairman Lu, things are not as they appear," Mister Zhi began, his voice betraying his panic. "I swear, our loyalty has always been to Lu Corporation."

"I can see that," Lu Lijun replied calmly, his thoughts inscrutable. Lu Jinhai, observing silently, felt a sense of pride. The unwanted elements he had long sought to purge from his company were now exposed, thanks to his son.

"I will leave the remaining decisions to Chairman Lu, President Lu, and the other board members who remain loyal to Lu Corporation," Lu Lijun declared. "However, I advise you to understand what it means to appoint me as president. I won't be lenient. Given the current situation of the company and the crucial projects under my control, you have no choice but to accept me as your president."

His statement was a direct threat, delivered with unmistakable confidence. It was as if he had already declared himself president, leaving no room for dissent. This was unprecedented in corporate settings, but Lu Lijun, the chairman's second son, was clearly a force to be reckoned with. He wasn't seeking anyone's permission or approval for the presidency; he had decided for himself, underscoring that he didn't require anyone's permission to get what belonged to him rightfully.

Xiao Min took the charge of the meeting again, "If anyone still oppose the appointment of mister Lu Lijun as the new president, kindly raise your hand."

There was a silence in the room, not a single person raised their hand. Xiao Min waited for a moment and then Noah passed the file across the meeting table where everyone signed on it. "So hereby, I declare mister Lu Lijun the next president of the corporation. He will assume his position once the current president hand over her resignation," Xiao Min declared.

With that the meeting successfully came to an end, with Lu Lijun becoming the president of Lu Corporations.
