Young Brother-in-law Is Now My Husband

Jiang Yuyan came to her office on time. Unfortunately, Lu Lijun had directly gone to the venue, and she didn't get the chance to see him and wish him the best. In her heart, she could only pray for his success.

Xiao Min came to her. "Boss, it will start soon.

"Hmm," she nodded and instructed, "Postpone all the meetings for the day."

"Yes, boss."

Xiao Min arranged another laptop on Jiang Yuyan's worktable, and she gave him a questioning look as if asking what it is for.

"I thought the boss would like to watch it," Xiao Min answered.

Jiang Yuyan glared at him. "You think too much these days."

"I'll take it back," Xiao Min was about to pick up the laptop, but Jiang Yuyan spoke. "Keep it as you have already disturbed me."

Xiao Min retreated his hands and heard his boss, "You can leave."

Xiao Min left smiling lightly. He knew what his boss wanted. She acted as if she didn't care, but he knew she was worried about how Lu Lijun was doing there. Before, she never cared, but this was an important project, and her worry was justified.

After introducing why all the companies were gathered there and what they expect from all the participants, the announcer permitted every participant to present themselves on the stage and what they had planned about the project.

The trio sitting around one table was impressed with how well everyone had planned and how tough it would be to fight with them.

"Feels like all the smart people in the world have gathered here," Noah commented.

"No wonder it's tough to get it," said Jake.

Lu Lijun was silently looking into all the projects being presented.

When it was going to be the Lu Corporations turn, Noah wished his two friends.

"I know you two will do better."

"Will we have any reward from you?" Jake asked; his eyes held the meaningful gaze.

"I'll get what I want from someone else. Not from him," Lu Lijun countered.

"But I want it and from him only," Jake commented as he looked coldly at Noah.

"Poor person like me can't give anything to you, your highness," Noah said and looked the other way.

"I'll be the one to decide it," Jake countered. "As Lu Lijun and I would be working there, you should be generous to reward us."

"After this project, both of your companies would be the ones to get rich and not me, so don't expect anything from me. Not like you are doing it for me," Noah retorted.

"What if I'm doing it for you? Will you give me what I want?" Jake asked.

Noah chuckled. "For me? Does it even make sense? Go and focus on your work."

"I'm serious," Jake insisted.

"Then don't do it."

"Fine. I am sure Lijun alone can handle it," said Jake as he leaned back in the chair, his intentions clear as if he would not get up from this chair.

Noah didn't give attention to Jake's unreasonable demand and ignored it. Finally, Lu Corporations' name was announced, and they had to go to the stage, but Jake didn't budge.

Lu Lijun didn't insist on Jake and got up to go alone. Noah finally looked at his stubborn friend, Jake. "Fine! Go now."

Smiling lightly, Jake stood up and walked along Lu Lijun to go to the stage.

"You sly fox," Lu Lijun commented in a low voice as the two walked.

"Learning from you," Jake said back as the two finally reached the stage and were ready to present the project.

Being a project partner, Jake had to do his part by explaining his company's role and the plan of the future they plan with it, and how it will benefit both the sides and other important things.

After Lu Lijun and Jake explained the important details about the structure of the project, finance, profit, and other important things, there was the part where they had to show how it was different and what change they could make with it.

Lu Lijun handled the talking part while Jake handled the screen part. "Our plan aims to reach the farthest and underdeveloped part of the country and develop it along with us. Let's not focus on the cities where the rich are getting richer while the poor are just struggling somewhere without even getting noticed."

On the screen, there was a map that showed the targeted locations of the project.

"Once, I asked my grandpa what does it mean for him to be truly successful? He said when our success benefits the ones who need it the most, and I agree with my grandpa. He made me think that when I am blessed to have everything in my hand and hold the power to change the lives of so many people around me, I should use it for their betterment. Those people, who can't afford anything at the moment, if we give them a chance, they can be our employees as well as our customers, and it will add to the growth of our economy."

Looking at the screen, which changed to so many different images that showed underdeveloped parts but had the potential to develop greatly. After they explained so many things about how it all could be possible.

"I know it's not so easy to do it all, and I am sure others must have thought about it too but couldn't bring it into the plan, or even if did so, there was a little success. But, I believe if we try with a proper plan, nothing is impossible. It will take time, but I think to do something, it's not a bad thing to be patient and give it a chance."

Lu Lijun continued his speech for some more time and explained various things, which showed he had planned everything in detail. His plan was not short-term but would run for the long run and would benefit the economy that every concerned person would want to do.

After Lu Corporation's turn, the other participants continued representing their projects. It was going to be a long day, and lunch was arranged for the guests. During lunch, so many people came to talk to Lu Lijun as most of them praised him while few tried to demoralize him using the concern coated with sweet words. Lu Lijun was calm and patient as no words could affect him, not praising or demoralizing.

Jake was another point of attraction for them and showed their interest in working with him. Jake was patient too and listened to them and declined their suggestions most of the time, saying that he wished to focus on lesser things.

Noah could only silently be by his friend's side, almost pitying the two in his heart for listening to the useless things from other so-called old and experienced people.

Lu Corporations.

Before Lu Lijun's turn would start, Lu Jinhai came to Jiang Yuyan's office.

She stood up to greet him.

"I heard Xiao Min arranged for you to watch Lu Lijun's presentation," said Lu Jinhai as he made himself comfortable on the couch.

"Yes, father."

"Let's watch it together then."

Xiao Min who came there arranged for them and the two were ready to see their boy in action.
