Chapter 11: Chapter 011: The President Arrives!

Jiang Lin was taken aback and was about to speak when she heard her say, "Lu Kaipin has also returned to the country, and he even sent me a WeChat message last night asking about you."

"Oh." Jiang Lin responded indifferently, showing no reaction.

She had only one principle in life, always look forward, and never look back.

Seeing Jiang Lin hanging her head in silence, Wu Liang thought she was triggered and advised, "Linlin, you can't just give up on yourself, marriage is no child's play, I know what happened with Lu Kaipin has left you..."

"Liangliang!" Jiang Lin was speechless at Wu Liang's imagination and firmly said, "My marriage to Sitian was a well-considered decision."

Wu Liang exclaimed, "Deep consideration? You got your marriage certificate within the time it takes to drink a cup of coffee!"

Jiang Lin reached out and gently smoothed her furrowed brow, "I swear, it wasn't an impulsive decision. We've been friends for so many years, don't you know me by now?"

Wu Liang punched the air, feeling limp and unable to vent, and unwilling to scold her friend. She simply turned on the office's TV and started watching.

"No, I need to meet this Fu Sitian, I must make sure he's right for you! If I find out that Mr. Fu is not a good man, you'll divorce him right away."

She added quietly, her back still turned to Jiang Lin.

She deeply regretted studying in the United States. If she had stayed in Hai City, her Linlin wouldn't have married so hastily to a man who lived off a woman.

"..."

Seeing that Wu Liang still doubted her, Jiang Lin could only helplessly agree, "Okay, I'll arrange a meeting for you both."

Only then did Wu Liang grunt and grudgingly let the matter go.

"Today is the Lu Group's annual shareholders meeting. It is rumored that Chairman Lu and his deceased wife's eldest son, Lu Kaiyang, will attend the board meeting."

The voice of the TV host caught their attention and they turned back to see live footage of Lu Group's headquarters being broadcast on the news.

Wu Liang worried that the images would remind Jiang Lin of her past from three years ago and wanted to turn off the TV, but was stopped by her.

The TV host had just mentioned Lu Kaiyang, a subject of some interest to her.

Lu Kaiyang was a legendary figure in both the medical and investment fields, and his name was synonymous with Hai City's entire healthcare industry.

He founded Dingtian Investment Group and managed billions of dollars in funds over more than a decade, successfully hatching hundreds of high-quality projects in the healthcare industry and becoming a notable figure in Hai City's investment scene.

For Jiang Lin, Lu Kaiyang was like the god of the medical world, controlling countless lives. Hospitals and medical projects across Hai City were chasing him, and his investment preferences could single-handedly sway the stock market.

"Lu Kaiyang inherited 25% of his mother's shares, becoming the second largest shareholder after Chairman Lu Tianming. Lu Kaiyang has always been low-profile and never personally involved in the group's affairs. His presence today is likely due to a crucial decision for the Lu Group."

The host's words drew Jiang Lin's attention back to the TV, where she stared at the camera lenses of the reporters, keen to know more.

"Our reporter has learned that this resolution will greatly influence the future of Lu Group."

...

Then, the camera provided a close-up of the square in front of Lu Group's headquarters, bursting with live reporters.

They were all awaiting the arrival of the mysterious, publicity-shy Lu Kaiyang.

Wu Liang suddenly turned to Jiang Lin, "That Lu Kaiyang is the founder and president of Dingtian Investment Group, isn't your partner also in Dingtian Investment? Have you ever seen Lu Kaiyang?"

Jiang Lin shook her head, "He's only a part-time employee, he wouldn't have such easy access."

Even full-time employees hardly ever saw the mysterious and low-profile Lu Kaiyang, let alone a part-timer like Fu Sitian.

As she was thinking, Wu Liang suddenly leaned her chin on Jiang Lin's shoulder, smiling mysteriously, "Do you know about the feud between Lu Kaiyang and the Lu family?"

Wu Liang's family background, though not as authoritative as the Lu family, was still top-tier. With her family's connections, she was privy to all the dirty secrets of the elite families.

"After Chairman Lu married Lu Kaiyang's mother, Fu Min, and rose to prosperity through the Fu Family, he wanted to remarry. Reportedly, due to public opinion and the strength of the Fu Family at the time, he dared not divorce openly and instead schemed to destroy the Fu Family and drove Fu Min to her death."

"After Fu Min died, he did not hold a proper funeral but instead paid a high price for a Feng Shui master to create a setup. He suppressed Fu Min's ashes beneath the Feng Shui Tower on the top floor of Lu Group's headquarters, hoping that Fu Min would vanish into thin air and never be able to seek revenge through the generations."

"As for Lu Kaiyang, he disappeared after Fu Min's death and only returned ten years ago, inheriting 25% of her shares. However, he has always kept a low profile and rarely appeared in public. It is said that employees who have direct work contact with him have to hand in their mobile phones when they arrive at work and only get them back when they leave. Clients who have offline meetings with him also have to surrender their phones and communication devices to prevent leaking any personal photos or information about him. It's exceptionally neurotic, and this is the first time he has publicly announced he will attend the shareholder's meeting."

Jiang Lin had never heard these stories.

While she had been with Lu Kaipin, he rarely discussed the Lu family's matters, and she had never asked.

However, having been with Lu Kaipin, she had experienced Chairman Lu's dominance and arrogance firsthand and believed that Lu Kaiyang and his mother's ordeals were far more tragic than Wu Liang had described.

"Linlin, look, Lu Kaiyang's car is coming!" Wu Liang suddenly grabbed Jiang Lin's hand excitedly.

Jiang Lin's gaze followed the TV screen forward, just catching a glimpse of a white Rolls-Royce nanny van slowly passing in front of the media's lenses.

In the sunlight, the car's body sparkled with dazzling brilliance, and Jiang Lin couldn't help but fix her eyes on the mysterious man's silhouette inside the car, but at the next moment, her body stiffened sharply.

She didn't know why, but that silhouette gave her a strange sense of familiarity.
