BXBX NOVEL Chapter 132 - 132: He Is Willing to Give up Everything For You, What About You?
“Okay. Tell me what else is wrong with this program,” Lu Zhi said with a serious face.
It was as if the person who just teased Jiang Yining wasn’t him but someone else.
Jiang Yining took a deep breath and calmly explained the loopholes she saw in the program. She also suggested ways to optimize the program.
“You are so gifted in Al. Why don’t you work as an Al designer at our company? 1’11 give you the package of an engineer.” Lu Zhi cherished talent and was willing to pay for it.
This was also one of the reasons why he ran Lu Corporation so successfully.
“What’s the package like for an engineer?”
“An annual salary of three million yuan. After working for five years, you will be given a prime location villa in A-City. The company will also take care of your children’s education and your spouse’s job.”
“You’re already working at Lu Corporation. If 1 also join the company, wouldn’t the company save quite a bit of money in terms of the benefits?” Jiang Yining joked.
“We’ll make it up to you in other ways. When we have children in the future, I’ll send them to top schools.”
Lu Zhi smiled faintly.
Jiang Yining was embarrassed. “I’m not having children with you. Don’t even think about it.”
Lu Zhi took back his smile. “I was just joking with you. Did you think 1 was serious?”
Hmph.
Jiang Yining kept quiet.
“How about it? Do you want to consider joining our company?” Lu Zhi asked as he fiddled with his fountain pen.
“Um, let me think about it.”
Under normal circumstances, Jiang Yining would never consider it.
After all, she could make a seven-figure profit from any job she took.
However, she couldn’t touch her bank card now, and she didn’t want the Gu family to find her.
She had to tread carefully when it came to taking jobs or making money.
If she joined Lu Corporation, she could at least fund her daily expenses.
“Alright, 1’11 let you sleep on it for one night.”
“Okay.” Jiang Yining nodded.
Lu Zhi held his fountain pen tighter.
No matter how cunning this little fox was, there would be times when she would let her guard down. He did not believe that she could escape the trap he had carefully set.
The two of them were busy for the entire morning.
When it was almost time for lunch, the housekeeper knocked on the door and walked in. “Sir, Old Patriarch and Old Madam are here.”
“Old Patriarch?” Lu Zhi asked loudly.
“Yes,” the housekeeper replied affirmatively.
It took Lu Zhi only a few seconds to figure out why his great-grandfather was here. With a sneer, he said, “Invite them in. Also, serve lunch.”
“Yes.”
The housekeeper nodded and left the study.
Jiang Yining asked curiously, “Your great-grandfather is still alive?”
“Yes, he’s in his nineties. He’s ancient.”
Jiang Yining was a little envious of his family’s longevity.
If her teachers were around, they would probably be around the same age as Old Patriarch Lu.
Unfortunately…
Lu Zhi saw her down expression and thought that she was worried about meeting his elders.
The stronger the person was, the more heartbreaking it was to see their fragile side.
He reached out and patted her head.
“Don’t worry. No matter who Grandma brings, 1 can handle it.”
“Lu Zhi, your future wife is a very lucky woman,” Jiang Yining muttered softly.
He wasn’t the friendliest person around, but whenever they encountered any problems, he would always face it head-on standing in front of her.
As his wife, she didn’t have to worry about anything.
Lu Zhi chuckled. “If being my wife is so good, you can consider staying on.”
When Jiang Yining heard this, she turned away and pretended that she didn’t hear him.
The two of them stayed in the study a while more before they walked downstairs together.
The housekeeper had already invited Old Patriarch Lu and Old Madam Lu into the dining room.
Jiang Yining secretly sized up this legendary figure and clenched her fists.
Lu Zhi walked up and asked calmly, “Great-grandpa, what a surprise to see you.”
“1 didn’t want to come here either, but isn’t there’s a problem in the family? I can’t not come.” Old Patriarch Lu’s words weren’t harsh, but every word carried a strong pressure and made people sit up and listen.
“There is indeed a small problem in the family, but we can handle it. I will never disturb your peaceful retirement over such a small thing.”
Lu Zhi looked at his grandmother when he said that.
He was warning her.
However, Old Madam Lu ignored him and complained, “Dad, this is the demoness I told you about.”
Old Patriarch Lu asked in a restrained voice, “Are you Jiang Yining?”
“Yes,” Jiang Yining replied calmly.
“Yining is my wife and your great-granddaughter-in-law.” Lu Zhi introduced Jiang Yining.
Old Patriarch Lu stroked his beard and said, “Since ancient times, marriages should be proposed by a matchmaker and decided by the parents. I know that modern society is more open and we are not as particular anymore, but you should at least inform the elders of the family that you got married, right?”
After a short pause, his voice turned colder as he continued, “Or is it because you no longer have respect for us elders anymore?”
“Great-grandpa, it’s not that 1 don’t want to tell you. It’s just that after I married Yining, things kept happening and I never found the right time.”
Lu Zhi held Jiang Yining’s hand.
Old Patriarch Lu used the loophole in Lu Zhi’s reasoning and lectured, “If things kept happening in the family after you got married, it means that the two of you are not suitable. Ah Zhi, as the heir of the Lu family, you should find a wife who is suitable for the family and not randomly marry anyone you fancy.”
“Dad, I’ve already warned Ah Zhi that Jiang Yining isn’t suitable as his wife, but he wouldn’t listen. See what happened? The demoness has instigated a rift between our family and the Taos. We can forget about continuous prosperity for the family.”
Old Madam Lu took the opportunity to throw Jiang Yining under the bus.
Old Patriarch Lu glanced at Jiang Yining and said, “1 don’t care how you managed to hook Ah Zhi, but for the sake of his future, please leave the Lu family.”
Lu Zhi’s expression changed slightly.
“Great-grandpa!”
“Why are you shouting? Did I let you speak?” Old Patriarch Lu shouted.
His aura of someone who had always been in charge shocked everyone in the room.
Lu Zhi tolerated it and said, “I disagree. Yining is the person I’ve set my mind on for the rest of my life. No one can chase her away.”
“Including me?” Old Patriarch Lu asked.
“Yes,” Lu Zhi answered without hesitation.
Old Patriarch Lu slammed the table and said angrily, “Lu Zhi, don’t forget that everything you have now is given to you by the Lu family! Do you think you can do whatever you want just because you’re put in charge of Lu Corporation? Let me tell you, I can raise you up, but I can also pull you down! I can make you lose everything! You really ought to consider carefully if you want this woman or continue as the heir of the Lu family!”
“I don’t care about any of those privileges! If you want to take them back, I won’t stop you!” Lu Zhi enunciated every word with determination.
Old Patriarch Lu was so angry that the veins on his face popped out.
Old Madam Lu, who was standing at the side, also got anxious. She only wanted to kick Jiang Yining out of the Lu family, not Ah Zhi!
She opened her mouth to speak but Old Patriarch Lu beat her to it.
He stared straight at Jiang Yining and asked, “He is willing to give up everything for you.. What about you? What are you willing to do for him?”
