Chapter 17
When they heard that the old man was about to directly promote Lu Chen to the deputy general manager of the group, the envy, jealousy and hatred in the hearts of everyone in the Ye family were beyond words.
Just when everyone thought that Lu Chen would agree without hesitation, he unexpectedly shook his head and said softly: "Grandpa, I have always been self-aware, don't ask me to be the deputy general manager of the group.
Well, even if I were asked to work as a department manager in a small company, I wouldn't be able to do it."
When Lu Chen said these words, he was quite sincere, and he was not playing hard to get or trying to exaggerate his own worth.
He has been practicing the inheritance of the Destiny Sect with his master since he was a child. He has never even attended college for a day. So far, his education level is just a high school dropout.
If you ask him to take a look at his face, take a feng shui test, etc., he can do it. But if you ask him to be the deputy general manager and lead other people's work, it will be too difficult for him.
Hearing this answer, everyone in the Ye family was shocked again. They all looked at Lu Chen as if they were looking at a monster.
The pie in the sky was about to hit you in the face, but you turned around to avoid it. Isn't this awesome? How can a normal person do such a thing?
Ye Jianwen and Ye Qingling, father and daughter, looked strange, and Ye Qingyun even burst into laughter. As for Liu Ya, she was so angry that she wanted to cut open Lu Chen's head and ask him what he was thinking.
of.
Mr. Ye also had a look of surprise on his face. He didn't expect Lu Chen to refuse. Just when he was about to persuade him, Lu Chen said again: "Grandpa, my ability is indeed not qualified to be a group executive. Why don't you let Qingling do it?"
Give it a try, her ability in this area is a hundred times better than mine, I believe she will do a good job."
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the Ye family couldn't help but curse their mothers. I originally thought that your boy was unique and different, but I didn't expect that your idea was to switch from left to right!
When Ye Qingling heard this, her pretty, slightly cold face was immediately filled with surprise, and her calm and calm state of mind could not help but stir up a storm.
Liu Ya, who was secretly annoyed, was slightly startled, and after remaining stern for a long time, she finally relaxed.
"Okay, let Qingling give it a try."
After hesitating for a moment, the old man nodded slightly and smiled, agreeing to Lu Chen's proposal.
Lu Chen also smiled. Although he had not been in contact with Mr. Ye for a long time, his facial appearance and the series of events today gave him a preliminary understanding of the old man's character.
The old man should have been a handsome guy when he was young, but as he gets older, his facial muscles will inevitably relax and wrinkles will increase.
Compared with other members of the Ye family, the bridge of the old man's nose is much higher, which means that he has a strong sense of self, does not allow others to ignore him, and must always have the right to speak and the initiative.
After the muscles relaxed, the old man's cheekbones became very prominent, which means that he likes to instruct others to do things according to his own wishes, and there is little room for accommodation and communication.
The most important thing is the hanging needle pattern between the old man's eyebrows, which shows that he has a stubborn personality, is often suspicious, and is skeptical about everything.
On the surface, the old man gives people a calm and relaxed attitude, but in fact, his desire to control money and power is only stronger than Liu Yalai's.
Under normal circumstances, a person like Mr. Ye who has passed his seventieth birthday should retire, live out his life, and leave the company and family to his children to take care of and develop. But the old man firmly holds on to the chairman's seat.
, he refused to leave, and at the same time he condoned the internal fighting between Ye Jianwen and Ye Jianhui in order to balance the two sides and divide their rights.
It can be said that all the events that Lu Chen experienced today were led by Mr. Ye.
Internal fighting in the Ye family is nothing new. Even if Lu Chen doesn't pay special attention to it, he often hears his mother-in-law and father-in-law mention it.
In particular, the scale of the internal fighting between Ye Jianwu and Ye Jianhui has unknowingly become larger and larger, and is almost beyond the control of the old man. Let’s not talk about how many people within the group have fallen to these two.
The fact that Ye Jianhui privately renovated the old house made the old man secretly angry.
In this increasingly uncontrollable situation, a qualified spoiler is particularly needed.
Therefore, Lu Chen easily thought that Mr. Ye needed him to be the spoiler. However, he was not interested in this. Firstly, it was because of his lack of ability, and secondly, he did not want to get involved in the Ye family's quagmire.
Of course, in fact, for the old man, it doesn't really matter who the spoiler is. Ye Qingling can do it, Ye Jianwen can do it, and even Ye Qingyun can do it. All he needs is for an outsider to completely disrupt the current situation, so that he can
He just regained control.
Mr. Ye still looked amiable. He pulled Lu Chen to chat about Feng Shui and antiques. He seemed to admire Lu Chen very much, which made the younger members of the Ye family even more envious and jealous. But he would never have thought that the person in front of him would be jealous.
His grandson-in-law, who is more than forty years younger than him, has already seen through his entire being.
Lu Chen's attention also successfully brought Ye Jianwen's family back into the eyes of everyone in the Ye family.
Especially after the old man promised to hand over the position of deputy general manager to Ye Qingling, everyone in the Ye family became extremely enthusiastic, which was completely different from the previous neglect, indifference, etc.
"Brother, I didn't expect you to find such a good son-in-law!"
"That's right. Now Qing Ling has become the deputy general manager and has a bright future. Brother, you have to take care of us..."
Surrounded by the compliments of everyone, Liu Ya felt as if she had returned to more than three years ago. This feeling was really good.
Among the crowd, only the second oldest, Ye Jianwu, and his family looked very unhappy.
Ye Jianwu, in particular, looked particularly gloomy. He had long regarded the vacant position of deputy general manager as something in his pocket.
At the birthday party during the day, the reason why he gave out a lavish gift worth two million was to please the old man and help his son Ye Yehao win the position of deputy general manager.
But who would have imagined that in the game between him and his younger sister Ye Jianhui, Ye Qingling, the boss of the family, unexpectedly gained advantage.
"Boss, boss, I didn't expect you to be so lucky to find such a good son-in-law!"
After Ye Jianwu gave Lu Chen a meaningful look, he casually found an excuse and left with his wife and son.
Mr. Ye was not disappointed by the departure of his second son and youngest daughter. He ordered several juniors of the Ye family to take out the firecrackers he had prepared and lit them amidst a burst of "cracking" firecrackers and the cheers of the juniors.
, the old house seems to have become more lively.
The old man looked at the familiar surroundings and the cheering juniors, and he couldn't help but think of a poem:
