Capítulo 7: Lu Legacy

It was past dinner time, and Lu Qiao Yan and Yang Yifeng were sitting in the club. The loud music was controlling the surroundings and the neon lights were adding glam.

Yang Yifeng had been pacing endlessly and now he was tired. Looking at Lu Qiao Yan who was sitting like a sad lady, he asked. ''Are you still thinking about Hui Jian Yu?''

Ignoring his question, Lu Qiao Yan adverted to his secretary, ''Rong Zhi!''

''Yes, sir!''

''Are there fewer people today than usual?'' He asked.

''Yes, sir!'' Rong Zhi nodded his head. ''There are fewer people compared to other weeks''. He went on telling him.

''Usually, there are not many people on Sundays. But this week, many people are at 'The Phantom' because Armor revealed himself yesterday. That's why many people are going there instead''.

''Armor?'' Yang Yifeng asked.

Rong Zhi nodded his head. ''That's right''.

''That's why Wen Yuxuan and Hui Jian Yu went there yesterday too. Why don't we hire him to the Euphoria if he's that famous?'' Yang Yifeng suggested.

Rong Zhi looked shocked at the two-man in front of him.

''No need''. Lu Qiao Yan said. ''Euphoria doesn't have to approach and engage artists from aspirants''. He mentioned.

''Many good gamers in this country want to come and play here''. Lu Qiao Yan said in a final tone.

Yang Yifeng wasn't giving up without knowing anything. ''But we can gain more customers if there are perfect gamers who are famous as well. Big clubs don't secure high profits. It has high fixed costs''.

Lu Qiao Yan didn't interrupt him.

''Our customers will get bored if there are no new lures. You do know, right? That this kind of business has its lifespan''. Yang Yifeng said.

''I know''. Lu Qiao Yan finally spoke. ''But don't worry. Euphoria will remain number one in many years''. There was confidence and firm faith in his voice.

Yang Yifeng nodded his head.

Lu Qiao Yan remembered the conversation between him and his father when he took over the Lu Corporation.

''Let's not open pubs and bars and especially gaming clubs''. The famous tycoon Lu Xia Mu said to his son.

''We just started the leather products business under your supervision. I know the young blood is rushing inside you like adrenaline but I think you should take it to step by step''. Lu Xia Mu advised his beloved elder son.

''I won't wait any longer''. Lu Qiao Yan said with a firm tone. ''If I don't do it now, I will never get to do it again''.

''Why is that?'' Lu Xia Mu questioned.

''Many reasons, father''. Lu Qiao Yan said. ''I have thought this through. We have a location. The timing is perfect. I don't want the profit from the new leather business I introduced in your vast empire to remain untouched in the bank''. Lu Qiao Yan had the 'Lu' blood running in his veins.

Lu Xia Mu sighed. He was worried about his son, at that time, was new to the business world. ''I am worried you are biting off more than you can chew''.

He added, ''This kind of business won't last long. It has too much risk. And you know that the 'Lu legacy' will continue with each passing generation. None of our ancestors had done such kind of business''.

''I understand. First thing, father, with my due respect, during this generation, where we are living, this kind of business is considered normal. Second thing, I plan to make a lot of profit from this and expand it to other businesses''.

He continued explaining politely with a low voice. ''If our customers are happy with our service, this night gaming club will be like the shop that we can use to promote our drinks, and our manufacturing products as well. They will purchase our products again if they see them somewhere else''.

Lu Xia Mu got up from his chair. ''Don't forget that you should think about the mighty name ''Lu family'' in everything you do. Secondly, you and Jian Yu are engaged. In that case, you would be the son-in-law of Hui. Do not do anything that might ruin your and his family's reputation''.

''I will never forget that, father. I have decided to open this club because I think about my compatibility with Hui Jian Yu. If I am going to marry Hui Jian Yu, I must become independent and successful to give him every best thing in life''.

''Have you talked about this Hui Jian Yu?'' Lu Xia Mu asked. ''Does he knows that you have already joined your family business and what you are trying to do?''

''I haven't''. Lu Qiao Yan said. ''I don't think he needs to know. I want him to live his own life. He's still young''.

''Do you think he can wait for you?'' Lu Xia Mu now raised another question. ''Don't forget that the arrangement between you two is just a verbal pact. It will be a big problem if something goes wrong. It will be a loss for our business as well''.

Lu Xia Mu placed his hand on Lu Qiao Yan's broad shoulder. ''I don't want to do something perilous''.

Lu Qiao Yan sighed. ''I don't want anyone to judge me that I am marrying Hui Jian Yu to increase the business. We are already the number one business family in the country. I must prove myself and take care of him''.

''Failing is not in Lu's blood and if I fail, then I'm not worthy to call myself a Lu''. Lu Qiao Yan said in a very firm tone that his father felt proud of his son. The elder son Of Lu Xia Mu had never failed to amaze his father with his mastermind. He believed his son but he had lived his life in the business world and knew how to lead a successful corporation.

''Since you have made the decision, I will respect that''. Lu Xia Mu proudly hugged his son. He was satisfied that his elder son Lu Qiao Yan took after him and his grandfather.

The younger son was a complete ass who needed to be tamed.
