Young Brother-in-law Is Now My Husband

Chapter 1110 - Thick Skinned



Chapter 1110 - Thick Skinned

One week passed by, but Jiang Yuyan didn't return home. Lu Lijun was still patient as he needed to focus on work, and before she returned to the office, he had to clear the mess so she wouldn't face any trouble.

It was the day when they had to go for the first project. Just like always, most of the companies participated in it. It was Lu Lijun's first attempt to handle everything on his own without help or guidance from the President or Mr. Chairman.

Xiao Min looked at the final copy of the file and asked, "Would it be enough?"

"Don't worry," said Lu Lijun as he stepped out of his office as Noah and Xiao Min followed him.

Driving, they reached the venue on time. Mr. Wen was there too. Lu Lijun greeted him by nodding lightly, and everyone took their place.

As everyone was presenting their offering plans, the result was in favor of some other company, while Lu Corporation didn't get the project.

Xiao Min already guessed, so he could only frown inside. He didn't stop Lu Lijun from doing what Mr. Chairman told him to let Lu Lijun decide on his own.

Noah and Lu Lijun were the same since they arrived, even after the result was not in their favor.

Everyone was shocked with how Lu Corporations didn't get this project this time, and everyone blamed it on the weak judgment and incapability of the fourth young master. But then everyone thought he was young and needed to learn more to compete with the expert people.

Few people went to Lu Lijun to advise him, thinking not the president of Lu corporation or the chairman was with him. The young guy needed the support. Few of them were genuine, while few were mocking.

"No need to feel down. If you need any help, you can always come to us to learn."

"It's okay, Mr. Lu. Next year you might get it."

"It's your first time, so things like this keep happening."

"We all had faced this when we were young."

"He deserves to taste the defeat of he would be like his older brother, always rude and confident."

"Back in that party, he was so rude. It's good he got to see how things work here."

"He is Lu, so arrogance is in his blood. No wonder he lost in his just first project."

"Thanks to him, we wouldn't worry about Lu Corporations in the future. Future seems like hell."

Mr Wen came to Lu Lijun. "I didn't expect you to win but didn't expect such an offer from you. Even my assistant can make one better than this."

"I'll try to learn more," Lu Lijun said.

"You better. Because we didn't participate in this one, but next we would be there. I hope you won't let us win so easily. Today, it felt like Lu corporation was not even in competition. Don't get in the habit of losing so badly," Mr. Wen said mockingly.

Lu Lijun was still the same, calm and composed, "I'll try my best."

"I don't expect this kind of best," said Mr. Wen, referred to the current Project that Lu Lijun lost.

Mr. Wen left, and Xiao Min spoke. "We need to do better with the next one."

Lu Lijun just nodded lightly and walked ahead as the other two followed him.

Lu Jinhai got the news of what happened. When Lu Lijun returned, Lu Jinhai called for him.

"Father asked for me," said Lu Lijun as he greeted his father in his office.

Lu Jinhai didn't ask him to sit but questioned straightaway while looking at him. "Are you disappointed with today's defeat?"

"No!" Came the firm and honest reply from the young man.

"Then, all good. You can leave," Lu Jinhai instructed, and Lu Lijun left.

Just then, Lu Jinhai got the call from Mr. Wen.

"Seems like your anger disappeared," said Lu Jinhai.

"I was never angry with you," Mr. Wen said in his usual friendly voice.

"Good to know. Have you called to inform me how bad my son did?" Lu Jinhai asked casually in friendly talk.

"I don't need to as you must have heard it already," said Mr. Wen and offered, "Let's grab drinks tonight."

"Hmm! Usual place," Lu Jinhai replied and hung up the call.

-------

Xiao Min called Noah in his office.

"Mr. Xiao Min," Noah greeted, entering his office.

Xiao Min looked at him. "President Lu hired you because you are Lu Lijun's friend."

"I know," said Noah as he stood calmly in front of Xiao Min.

"You are not just an assistant but his close friend who can correct him when he is wrong," said Xiao Min.

"When he makes such a bad project, you should be the one to confront him first and correct it," Xiao Min said; he looked serious.

"I'll keep in mind," Noah assured.

Xiao Min observed Noah and spoke, "Shouldn't you look a bit upset about your boss's defeat?"

"There is no meaning in dwelling over what had already happened," said Noah.

"I hope you won't let it happen again then."

Noah nodded, "I'll do a better job."

Noah left, and Xiao Min felt puzzled. 'Are these two thick-skinned, or they really don't care about whether they lose? Are these two taking things so lightly?' Xiao Min frowned inside.

-------

Jiang Yuyan got the news too though Lu Jinhai tried to keep her away, the news couldn't stop getting its way to her.

Jiang Yuyan called Xiao Min. "What happened?"

"We didn't get the project," Xiao Min replied.

"That's fine but how is Lu Lijun?" she asked worriedly thinking he must feel low.

"Boss should worry about everything but him. doesn't look like the fourth young master is even bothered with it," Xiao Min replied.

"Send me the copy of the project file," Jiang Yuyan instructed.

Xiao Min emailed her. When Jiang Yuyan saw it, she didn't react and closed her tablet. She couldn't draw any conclusion and wished to let him do it by giving him more chances. After all, nothing was more important than him.
