Chapter 0559 No Choice

Rotingting Luo rushed to Eagle Country non-stop, hoping to open up pathways in the international financial market, and that street is a must-visit place, and she is no exception.
Most importantly, Rotingting is determined to investigate her father's death by herself, even if it means giving up a portion of her interests, she will find out who did it.
When Lu You returned to the company, the entire senior management was in a state of anxiety, everyone was wondering what would happen next. Previously, Lu You remained motionless, relying solely on Luo Youhua's support, but now?
Not necessarily!
Shen Qian has become the only straw supporting him, and the most important thing is that this straw may not even be useful. The original integration of Youzu Videos into the group framework has also been delayed.
Luyou must start making plans for himself.
Meeting after meeting has been held, and the decision-making power of the group has already been partially divided. However, at this moment, Shen Qian and Jiang Siya are still thinking for themselves.
In the business world, there are no so-called enemies, and there are no definite friends, only the ability to cooperate.
Inside the private room of a restaurant, Lu You looked at the person across from him. He held 5% of the voting rights. From being initial friends to enemies, circling around, they ended up sitting together again. It's just that he has aged a lot compared to a few years ago.
"Oh, sitting here makes me feel like things have changed!" Bai Kelong sighed and said, "I thought I would never have the chance to have a meal with President Lu again in my lifetime."
"I invited you for a meal, not to listen to your sarcastic remarks." Lu You said in a deep voice.
"Mr. Lu, you have been glorious for many years. Speaking honestly, I admire you a lot. You have never done anything wrong except for lacking human touch. Of course, businesses aim to make money. If you had more human touch, Gamezone wouldn't have reached this point so quickly."
"The problem is, your tough and merciless attitude makes a lot of people uncomfortable. The saying 'tit for tat' applies here, there are too many people who turn the tables."
"So you also want to turn the tables?" Lu You smiled at him. It's a good time for revenge now."
"It is normal for a company to be stable, for the founder to exit, for the board of directors to supervise, and for professional managers to take over. You can still make decisions, but any decision you make needs to be supervised by the board of directors. Of course, you have almost fifty percent of the shares, so in reality, you can still have the final say in most matters."
"Back then, you messed up Huangshi badly. Other people were busy doing their own things. I remember at that time, he only earned a salary of 700,000 yuan a year. The industrial park was established, but you scattered it with just a few words. Later, you targeted me, and I left. Why are you so domineering, wanting to mess with whoever you want? Now someone has messed with you, and you're not happy."
Luyou has already understood that what they need is a semi-dead Luyou who can continue to make money for the company. This meal is not interesting.
Putting down the chopsticks, he said, "I'm full, you take your time."
"I admit your ability, but I must also say that you need to pay the price for your past arrogance."
"Arrogance?" Lu You turned his head and looked at him, saying, "If ability is a form of arrogance, then yes, I am arrogant. It's like how in the eyes of those envious and insecure people, a rich person eating an ice cream stick is considered wrong because they perceive it as showing off. Doesn't my arrogance just prove your incompetence?"
"No ability, but want to make money, and also want me to respect you, why don't you go to the heavens?" Lu You sneered and left without saying another word.
Everyone knows it in their hearts, no matter how much you say, it has no meaning.
In the dim night, dark clouds are gathering in the sky, and an autumn rain is about to wash over this city. Lu You sits in the back seat of the car, feeling a little stuffy, and lowers a window slightly.
Until today, he is somewhat unwilling. Now, he is already one of the top ten figures globally, an existence that even in his previous life, breaking his neck he wouldn't be able to look up to.
If the company is manipulated, then Luo You will directly fall from his revered position. Without needing to think, we already know the consequences of a controlled company.
"Stop the car!" Lu You said.
"Mr. Lu, it's going to rain soon."
"I know!" Lu You got out of the car and stood at the coast, looking at the endless sea, feeling as if a dark cloud was pressing down on the city, about to destroy it.
The sea breeze ripples, barely lighting a cigarette, the rustling of the clothes being blown, he feels a little unsteady, his gaze tightly fixed on the darkness in front, hoping to see a glimmer of light.
"Are they at home?"
"Yes, both Ms. Shen and Mr. Jiang are at home."
The driver looked at Lu You and whispered, "Mr. Lu, there is nothing that can't be overcome!"
"Yes, there is nothing that can't be overcome. No matter how difficult it is, the sun will rise on time and dispel the darkness in front of us. Many people say that hard work is important." Lu You turned his head and looked at the driver, patting his shoulder. "You work very hard!"
"Thank you, General Manager Lu, for your praise. I will work even harder."
"But I am still the boss, even if I don't work hard from now on."
Driver: ............
Why do you berate me, a driver, when you, as a boss, are in a bad mood? I feel a bit annoyed but I dare not say anything.
"In one's lifetime, choices are more important than effort. Are you happy?" Looking at him, Lu You asked, "Have you gotten married?"
"We got married, our child is already four years old."
"Then you are happier and wealthier than me. I still don't have children. I have achieved nothing except money till today. What a pathetic life!"
Driver: ..........
Poverty prevents him from understanding Lu You's misfortune.
This is really unfortunate!
Back at the villa, the two sat there watching TV, no one spoke. Under the current circumstances, everyone knows it's not easy. Many things ultimately require a choice, and the ultimate decision lies in Lu You's hands.
A few days later, news came that Fang Hong, Vice Chairman of Emperor Financial, had drowned. The accident investigation concluded it was an accidental drowning and did not cause much sensation, with only a few local newspapers and television stations reporting on it.
However, Luo Tingting has made it to the global headlines, securing a staggering $7.4 billion in international funding. This is the first money after the subprime crisis and will be used for small-scale strategic investments that will enhance international capital flows. As a result, Emperor Financial's stock has seen an immediate surge.
Luyou looked at her in the newspaper, dressed in a black gown, her eyes devoid of the past. Luyou sighed, the current Lotingting was completely different, now she resembled a black widow, sending shivers down people's spines.
When both parties sit at the negotiating table, the feeling is even stronger. Lu You sees his former dominance in her.
"General Lu, I have looked through some information about Youzu Finance recently. Our two companies have a high degree of overlap in many aspects and can embark on a series of collaborations, especially in the emerging payment industry. It's very promising." Luo Tingting flipped a few pages and said, "Let's do it together, what do you think?"
Lu You sat across from her, unsure of what to say, and immediately focused on Youzu Financial. He took out a cigarette from his pocket, preparing to light it.
"No smoking allowed!"
Lu You ignored her and lit the cigarette, speaking up, "Tingting, I can understand you. There are many things I can't do, and I'm still feeling very upset..."
"Mr. Lu, this is the negotiation table, don't talk about useless things. Let's leave the past behind. Now our company is capable of doing these things. The total monthly revenue of Yoozoo Financial is around 60 billion yuan, which can be considered a medium-sized company. What I mean is, we want to acquire this company and provide financial assistance."
Luyou looked at her with a bitter smile and said, "If you want to take over, just take over. Why bother saying such pompous words? What will you do if I don't agree? Use your voting power to pressure me? Or should I also have an unexpected accident and die by drowning?"
“请注意你的措辞！”
“你嘴上说着，让它过去，你现在干的事情，真的过去了嘛？”陆游盯着她质问道：“我是有责任，我那天应该让他留下来，可不是我的问题。”
"Let's not talk about that now!" Luo Tingting banged the table with her hand, saying, "Let's talk about the matters concerning Youzu Financial."
"Youzu Financial is the heart of the entire Youzu Corporation. I can't let you dig out my heart. If you want to do something, just tell me directly. Don't start by attacking me. If you think I am responsible, feel free to kill or torture me!"
罗婷婷看着他没说话，直接合上文件夹走了，对方一位副总小声道；“陆总，你别往心里去，这可能是新官上任三把火。”
"I see." Lu You sighed with some helplessness.
"It took me a lot of effort to get Luo Tingting to agree to meet me in the evening. The coffee shop has a quiet atmosphere, and Luo Tingting sits opposite me, stirring her coffee without saying a word."
"This time, just speak up. Don't be so formal. If you want to kill me, I will find a knife and stab myself right now."
"Then go ahead and find one." Luo Tingting raised her head and looked at him. "Go ahead, a grown man who doesn't keep his word?"
Lu You fell silent, sitting there wheezing for a while before saying, "Are you really willing to let me die?"
"Don't give me that nonsense. Don't use the tricks you pulled on my dad on me. Let me tell you directly, either choose the position of CEO at Youzu Financial or at Youxi Financial, take your pick!"
Lu You's face suddenly turned ugly. It was clear that this girl meant business. He took a deep breath, unsure of what to say. This was truly a dilemma.
"I'll be honest with you too. If my father's unfinished dream cannot be realized by acquiring a portion of the You Clan Financial, then I will acquire the entire You Clan Group," she said with a determined look in her eyes. "I can't wait any longer. Our family has already waited for too long."
Luyou saw determination in her eyes, making him feel that the potential fatal blow might not come from the board of directors, but from this little girl in front of him.
At this moment, he could no longer approach the problem with a friend's mindset. He had to elevate the situation and find a new way out through the ruthlessness of business.
Youzu Financial, an impossible thing, is the culmination of all of Lu You's efforts. Looking at Luo Tingting, Lu You's heart gradually hardened. Business is ruthless, and many times there is no choice.
