Chapter 2. The beginning of fate
Under her mother's earnest request and a faint "threat", Wang Duo finally decided to meet the man. At this time, it was the end of spring and the beginning of summer, Wang Duo wore the beautiful suit that her mother had just bought for her, and "worked hard" to find this place-SH Hotel.
As soon as he remembered his mother's satisfied expression an hour ago, Wang Duo sighed helplessly. Seeing her daughter dressed up so beautifully, her mother was so happy that she didn't know what to do, as if her daughter was about to get married, and she was afraid that she would miss a good day. Alas, if I had gone back a little later tonight, maybe my mother would have a good day tomorrow.
The hot sun in June has become a little dazzling, and the place where Wang Duo went on a blind date is this 18-story five-star hotel. As rumors have been made, this is indeed a luxurious and majestic hotel.
"That's good."
Wang Duo looked up at SH Hotel and expressed his heartfelt admiration. I've heard people talk about SH Hotel before, but this is the first time I've been here.
Well, it would be even better if the food here was just like the appearance of the hotel, Wang Duo thought to herself, then she would really live up to her "foodie" who worked so hard to make a trip, hehe.
When you walk to the door, the sensor door opens automatically. Wang Duo looked inside, wow, there were so many people on Saturday afternoon.
Well, it feels good.
It's so cool in the hall, it looks like the June heat wave hasn't blown here yet. As soon as Wang Duo stood firmly, he saw a young man in a suit and leather shoes coming over and asking:
"Are you looking for a place? The help desk is over there. β
Wang Duo quickly glanced at the other party and found that a tall and handsome man was looking at her with a smile.
It's so handsome, well, it seems that this big hotel is quite attractive.
"What do you say? Ah no, I want to go to the cafΓ©. β
The "male staff" bowed his head slightly and pointed to the left side of the lounge.
"Cafe, please go that way."
"Thank you."
Yes, the staff training is quite high-quality.
Wang Duo smiled and thanked her while thinking, and behind her, the man was watching her leave.
Well, it must be another blind date, the man thought.
The faint smell of perfume slowly hit when the girl swept past Lu Dinghao.
"General Manager Lu Dinghao, please go this way."
Maybe it's because of a Saturday afternoon, the hallways of the law firm are very quiet and relaxed. Lu Dinghao walked into the lawyer's office, asked loudly with a calm face, "What's the matter with me?" β
A young lawyer saw Lu Dinghao's face, and said with a smile: "Brother, I am a lawyer performing official duties." β
"WHAT KIND OF OFFICIAL BUSINESS, EVEN BLACKCALL IS USED?"
After Lu Dinghao sat down casually, Tianyu poured him a cup of coffee.
"...... still break the lawyer?" Tianyu repeated what he had just heard on the phone in a mocking tone.
A smile appeared on the corner of Lu Dinghao's mouth, and he continued: "Did you hear it?" Well, why did the broken lawyer make me, the general manager of the hotel, run around? β
Tianyu restrained his smile and said, "The chairman has revised the will. β
Hearing this, Lu Dinghao looked unhappy.
"It's okay with me, that's what matters?"
Lu Dinghao's blunt attitude, Tianyu expressed his approval. I have long known that my eldest brother Lu Dinghao is by no means a greedy person, his goal in life is by no means the hereditary management of the family, and he is not interested in the hereditary transfer of power of the group like a hereditary system of the throne. But then again, if he really had that kind of mind, it would be much easier to at least deal with the will himself, Tianyu thought to himself.
"Of course, the content is related to you, so grandpa specially ordered that you must know."
"Don't tell me I was mentioned in my will."
Lu Dinghao said that this sentence has meaning, when Lu Dinghao's grandfather, the old man of Wansheng Group, made public for the first time in the testamentary heir, there was no mention of the direct eldest grandson Lu Dinghao, although this was deliberately done by the old man, but all the people who didn't know the inside story were shocked by the news, and only Lu Dinghao was indifferent to it. In fact, as the first direct heir of the director, even if Lu Dinghao can't share the inheritance, he has enough money. Because of Lu Dinghao's deceased father and the family property left to him by his grandmother's family, it is enough for Lu Dinghao to become a major shareholder. But then again, despite the fact that this is the case, the people around me were still disturbed by this unexpected news at the time.
Because before this, the old man's designation of his grandson Lu Dinghao as the heir of the group has long been a well-known thing, but he didn't expect the old man to omit his most valued grandson in his first public will, which can't help but be incredible. For a while, the open and secret struggle within the group has almost become a gladiatorial arena for power struggle. Although until now, those who covet the throne of power do not dare to act rashly and expose the slightest ambition because they are taboo of the respected old man, but everyone is thinking about their own wishful thinking all day long, and this situation is clear to everyone.
"It's not like you said," Tianyu said, shaking his head.
"Since it's no different from last time, why are you still looking for me?"
"Hmm......" Tianyu hesitated and didn't know how to speak.
Lu Dinghao, who had an impatient personality, held a cigarette between his fingertips, and urged with an indifferent expression: "Don't delay time, just say what you have to say, I will never be intimidated again." β
Didn't I scare the old man once? So, whatever he does doesn't scare me! I would never entrust my life to him againβthose words were clearly written on his face, and now he had no hope for his grandfather.
"Well, that's right...... The chairman has attached a condition that gives you the right to inherit. β
Lu Dinghao asked with a calm face as if he didn't believe it, "What?" Attached to the conditions for me to inherit? β
"Oh no, to be specific, it's not for you to inherit, it's the ......"
"Say it quickly! I get upset when I mention the conditions, wasn't that the way it was last time? β
"Hmm...... Well...... To be precise, let my sister-in-law ......"
Speaking of this, Tianyu couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva. Seriously, he was really worried about Lu Dinghao's overreaction.
As expected, Lu Dinghao, who was lowering his head and lighting a cigarette, immediately raised his head and stared at him when he heard the word "sister-in-law", as if he suspected that something was wrong with his ears.
"Let's just say that your future wife has the right to inherit, and the right to dispose of it and the right to speak on the council is transferred to you. Of course, if you marry that girl......"
Tianyu knew better than anyone that a storm was coming, so he finished the main point as quickly as possible, just so that his brother Lu Dinghao didn't have a chance to interject. Because he knew Lu Dinghao's temper very well, if he really started a fire, it would be impossible for the conversation between them to continue.
Sure enough, before Tianyu could explain further, he had already heard Lu Dinghao shouting loudly.
"What? What did you say? Are you saying that grandpa has already chosen a marriage partner for me? β
"Exactly."
Lu Dinghao had already comprehended the main idea in a moment, and Tianyu could only nod in agreement.
Unexpectedly, Lu Dinghao, who was so angry that he changed his face and shouted vigorously just now, was quiet at the moment.
"It's not the same as last time," Lu Dinghao said with a wry smile.
"Brother, this is not ridiculous at all. Even if you don't care about it, you should understand its seriousness. β
Lu Dinghao extinguished and lit the cigarette he hadn't smoked, got up and said, "Let's not talk about this first, let's go, let's eat." β
"Brother! I'm not kidding you right now! These words are true, they are all in the will! β
"Yes, I know you can't joke about it, and I'm not kidding you. It used to be so, and now it's even more so, I don't care about grandpa's property at all. β
Lu Dinghao's expression was indifferent, but his eyes conveyed intriguing profundity.
"Brother, do you know what that means? Add your shares to your grandfather's shares, and the council is completely in your hands! β
"What can I do? If grandpa really decides that, then it can only be like this~"
Hearing him answer like this, Tianyu couldn't help but sigh.
"Aren't you curious about that girl at all?"
"What is there to be curious about? You can guess if you don't say it. Don't you know it, it's not the first time this is the first time, didn't you come to this hand the last time you made your will public? Lu Dinghao said it crisply.
That's right, this time it must be the daughter or granddaughter of a certain group or something, otherwise it's the official lady, in this case, what else is there to be curious about
"It's not Mr. Dong's daughter."
"You know, Manqi got married two years ago."
mentioned the name of his childhood friend, Lu Dinghao's gloomy face finally "cleared" slightly, revealing a light smile. He patted his brother Tianyu's head and said, "Don't worry! I'm not interested in that anyway, even if all the possessions are in front of me. Isn't my money enough right now? Even if it's not enough, I can stand up on my own. In short, there is nothing detrimental to me from not having an inheritance. β
"But you and I haven't seen that girl, and the others probably don't know each other. You're not interested in possessions, but others aren't. β
Hearing this, Lu Dinghao stared at Tianyu like an outsider and asked, "Then what do you think?" After Lu Dinghao finished speaking, he got up and went out, and Tianyu followed out.
"Let's not talk about that."
Tianyu looked at the eldest brother in a daze and said, "You should listen to it before leaving, I haven't said anything important yet." β
"Tianyu, don't bother with things that have nothing to do with me," Lu Dinghao said indifferently.
"Three years ago, I agreed with your choice, but ...... This time, ......" Tianyu had a serious expression and lowered his voice, not knowing what to say to his brother Lu Dinghao.
From now on, it's up to you how things develop, Tianyu thought to himself.
First encounter
Lu Dinghao held back the fire and pushed open the door of the hotel. What's this thing called...... He muttered that he couldn't see the way clearly, and accidentally bumped into a girl.
"Oops, I'm sorry." Lu Dinghao hurriedly bowed his head and apologized, no matter what, it was "God" who came here, and he still had to rely on the big hotel to eat.
The civil servant who was said to be on a blind date with Wang Duo immediately stepped forward to support Wang Duo and asked with concern: "Oh, are you okay?" β
"Oh...... It doesn't matter, it's that I haven't walked well. β
Wang Duo couldn't help but feel a little sorry for bumping into someone because he didn't see someone in front of him elsewhere, and hurriedly said, "I'm really sorry." β
The moment he spoke, a sweet smell of perfume gently swept over the tip of Lu Dinghao's nose......
Someone said that passing by is also the fate of cultivation in the previous life. And who can predict that the two people who pass by in an instant as if sand is sliding through their fingertips will meet again at some point in the future? And who knows if someone who passes by you at this moment will come to you again with a special meaning one day in the future?
