441 Shock Horror how manipulative is CEO Lu - Part 5
Sunday, continued …
Lu Jinhu wanted to scream and kill his father, but knew that doing that would achieve nothing.
Taking a deep breath, "Listen to me father.You are acting stupidly at the moment and not thinking about the consequences of actions.I went overboard and acted stupidly at the theatre when that b*tch of an ex of mine interrupted what I was doing, but I accepted responsibility for what I did."
Seeing his father nodding, he continued "You are seeking someone to shoulder the responsibility for your actions to protect you.Yes, I am one person you can do that to as you can use my birth mother, my old girlfriend, Yang Lin, my unborn child, my activities with that b*tch now married to Hou Yi and my previous consensual sexual activity.You use whatever works for you at the time."
"I try and accept responsibility as you demand, whether to protect myself of others depending on the card you use, as you know ultimately I care.But I am getting beyond that.More importantly the authorities will get sick of you blaming me or other people and not believe you.It is the fairy tale of the boy who cried wolf, the more you do it the less people will believe you until no one believes you."
"Son, you need to be responsible.We are in this mess because you screwed up."
"I might have but I own my screw ups.You never do.I warned you about verbally sparring with that b*tch of an ex of mine as she can twist and manipulate things with the best.Is she was not a lawyer she would be a perfect politician perfectly spinning things.You crossed verbal swords with her and as a litigator she has the skills to do this generally getting good outcomes.Anyone with half a brain would have realised the outcome with my warnings to you, you would loose.."
"We have to be strategic in what we are doing.I gave the police an explanation that protects you to the best of my ability.Your claim would never have held up, because the contact between you and I would show I could not be behind it.That would totally screw you, and I could have done nothing to help you."
Despite having let Lu Jinhu have his rant, CEO Lu was by its end totally insenced."You damn well should have taken responsibility."
"Father, we will go around in circles.Stop, think about it."
After a few minutes of silence, CEO Lu responded "Damn it, you were right."
"So you understand what I have been telling you.You need to remain calm and focus on Lu Corporation.Those backstabbers we call family will start to use this type of action to topple you from your position and take control given the company charter, using the open market shareholders and Yang Lin\'s family to achieve that."
"While we would normally be able to count on her family, the Yang family\'s bottom line always is profit and money.Believing that I was elsewhere in the house, Yang Lin\'s parents told her that she needs to consider remaining in our marriage once our child is born.They even suggested that she should ignore our pre-nuptial agreement taking our child with her and forcing me to pay her huge amounts of money.We both know she wanted to have an abortion and I bribed her to not only marry me but to keep the child.This is a consequence of your actions."
Lu Jinhu observed that his father was getting very angry."Keep calm father.We both know that all she wants is money and a social position.If you do not push too far, I can insist on out pre-nuptial agreement with its pre-determined divorce settlement and custody arrangements for our child are followed.As she wants money, I can pay her to move from the fifty-fifty agreement, as the default is if that does not apply the children are with me."
"Regarding the company.We both know the charter terms.The forty percent of company shares the Lu Family own, is controlled by the CEO.We own three-quarters of those and the branch families own the balancing quarter.Those shares can only be sold within the family, and the income is shared.But the more you push and behave as you are the more it will cause those branches to consider the charter and look to appoint another Lu Family member of descendant as CEO.You want to loose that position?Keep going as you have been."
