Young Brother-in-law Is Now My Husband

Chapter 1584: Hand In Hand



As the board meeting concluded, everyone dispersed. A few members left with a sense of satisfaction about the appointment of the new president, while others were apprehensive about the implications of having a leader who had so openly threatened them. With their actions already exposed, they had no choice but to await the chairman's decision and contemplate how to seek his forgiveness.

With the other board members gone, leaving only the Lu family members and their three assistants, Lu Han stood and approached Lu Lijun. "Congratulations, Lijun. I'm proud of how you handled those veterans. It reminded me of Lu Qiang."

"Thank you, brother," Lu Lijun responded. "And thank you for the help when they tried to approach you and for giving me leads on their intentions."

"They don't understand how deeply rooted the Lu Family is, strong enough not to be shaken by anything," Lu Han said confidently. "Seeing you take Lu Qiang's place is what our entire family hoped for, and nothing could have stopped it."

Lu Jinhai joined them, patting Lu Han's shoulder. "It's heartening to see you brothers supporting each other."

The two brothers exchanged smiles as Lu Jinhai added, "You have to head to the press conference now. I'll leave that in your hands."

Lu Lijun nodded in acknowledgment. Ning Jiahui, Lu Lijun's mother, then approached, her face lit up with pride. "I am so proud of you," she said, embracing him warmly.

"Thank you, Mother," Lu Lijun replied, returning her embrace warmly.

The older couple and Lu Han soon departed, leaving the younger members in the room. Xiao Min, clearly pleased with the outcome, approached Lu Lijun. "Congratulations, Fourth Young Master."

Lu Lijun offered a gentle smile. "Thank you, Xiao Min."

Noah then stepped forward, engulfing him in a tight hug. "Congratulations, my friend."

"You seem more excited for reasons other than my success," Lu Lijun chuckled as he hugged his friend back.

Releasing him, Noah grinned, "Why wouldn't I be? I get to assist the president of Lu Corporation. The effort I've put in over the last ten years to shape you into a great friend wasn't in vain. It's a jackpot for me. Tell me, my salary is going to be a hundred times more now, right?"

"There should be a limit to your greed," Lu Lijun teased.

"When my friend is set to become the richest man, why should I limit my greed?" retorted Noah, turning to Xiao Min. "Right?"

"Are you planning to build a castle here with that hundred percent raise?" Xiao Min quipped. "That would make sense. After all, royalty needs a royal residence."

Xiao Min's playful remark, clearly hinting at Noah's relationship with Jake, drew smiles from both Lu Lijun and Jiang Yuyan.

Noah, taken aback by Xiao Min's unexpected remark, was momentarily speechless. Xiao Min had always maintained a strictly professional relationship with him.

Turning to Lu Lijun, Noah quipped, "Perhaps we should delegate all dealings with Song Industries to Mister Xiao Min now."

"I was thinking along the same lines," Lu Lijun responded.

"I'd gladly take on that responsibility," Xiao Min replied, catching the other two off guard.

Had Xiao Min and Shen Li acknowledged their feelings for each other and become a couple already?

"My place is currently under renovation, so I'm staying with Assistant Shen Li. It's more convenient to discuss business matters in person," Xiao Min elaborated, his explanation both surprising and pleasing the others.

"Oh, that was unexpected," Noah remarked.

Xiao Min, turning to Lu Lijun, suggested with a smile, "Maybe you should indeed give him a hundred percent raise so he can afford to build his castle."

Lu Lijun chuckled at the banter. "Sure," he said, playing along with the light-hearted mood.

Xiao Min and Noah left the room, leaving Jiang Yuyan and Lu Lijun alone. Lu Lijun turned towards Jiang Yuyan, who had been quietly sitting in her chair, patiently waiting for the others to offer their congratulations first.

Approaching her, Lu Lijun leaned over her chair, his hands resting on the armrests. "So, Mrs. Lu, aren't you going to congratulate me?"

Jiang Yuyan responded with a soft smile. Gently grasping his tie, she pulled him closer and pressed a sweet, tender kiss to his lips, warming Lu Lijun's heart.

As she released him, she whispered against his lips, "Congratulations, Mister Lu. I wish you all the success in life and hope to see you reach the pinnacle of success."

"Thank you, Mrs. Lu," he whispered back, pulling her into his embrace. "But a simple kiss won't suffice. I'm hoping for something more."

"Once we're back home," she assured him, her hand gracefully circling his neck.

Lu Lijun gazed into her eyes. "I long to see a formidable President Lu dominate me in bed, just as she dominates the world."

"I'm no longer the president, you know."

"You haven't resigned yet, and I haven't signed the appointment letter," he pointed out. "We could delay it for another day."

Her smile grew. "Alright, Mr. Lu. Now you should head to the press conference."

"Are you not coming with me?" Lu Lijun asked.

"It's your day," Jiang Yuyan replied. "My presence will only draw unnecessary attention, and the reporters will delve into matters they shouldn't."

"Don't worry, I'll handle them," he assured her. "I'll escort you back to the president's office, then leave for the conference."

She nodded in agreement. Hand in hand, Lu Lijun and Jiang Yuyan stepped out of the meeting room. As they walked through the office, they caught the attention of everyone. Colleagues and staff congratulated Lu Lijun, but their gazes lingered curiously on the couple's clasped

hands.

The world was already abuzz with rumors of an affair between the two, yet no one had clear answer as Lu Lijun and Jiang Yuyan always maintained a professional relationship in the office in front of others.

Now, seeing them together, hand in hand, onlookers began to wonder if Lu Lijun and Jiang Yuyan were making a statement through their actions, perhaps even officially acknowledging their relationship to the world.

Though surprised, everyone smiled as they had utter respect towards these two as their

bosses.

Lu Lijun and Jiang Yuyan didn't mind the gazes on them and confidently made their way towards the president's office.
