Chapter 01

 Chapter 1: He was a Serious Man

In the early morning, when the sun had not yet broken through the clouds.
The sky had a red haze rolling, and the distant mountain tops were covered in a dense layer of blue mist, with the haze feeling of breaking dawn.
 

It was the season when the grass sprouted and the oriole flew.
The hibiscus was in full bloom in the garden, and the lotus flowers out in the lotus pond were still in buds.
The thick fog coalesced into a strain that swirled around the edge of the lotus leaves and snapped off into the pond.
 

Lin Xiyu put a chair in the garden, she had a habit of reading in the morning.
Right now, she was holding a book of poetry in her hand and reading it with relish.
She was sitting in a patch of lilies, wearing a pale blue dress dotted with white petals.
Her face was as small as a palm, her facial features were delicate and small, she had a fair complexion, and a light mist lingering around her body.
If someone looked at her from a distance, she was like an elf transformed from a lily, very spiritual and beautiful.
 

Lin Xiyu raised his head to move her neck a little bit because it was a little still after lowering her head for too long.
When she looked up, she found that there was a person standing on the second floor of the house in front of her.
 

There was still some distance between the garden and the house, and it was not very clear from afar, only that the man was tall and well built, wearing a straight suit.
It was not very bright because the sun had not come out, and the room he was in did not have the light on, but the bright smoke flickering on his finger was clearly visible.
He stood by the window, looking into the distance, as if he were looking her way, but as if he was not, too far away to see clearly.
 

Although his face was blurred, Lin Xiyu still recognized him from his figure alone.
 

Lu Junting.
 

Lu Junting was the only son of the eldest family and the eldest grandson of the Lu family, the sole controller of the Lu family’s enterprise Chang Yuan group and the Chairman of the board of directors of Chang Heng group.
He was busy with work and rarely returned to the Lu family’s house for many years.
Lin Xiyu had only seen him for several times even after living in the Lu family for five years.
 

As a business tycoon, Lu Junting had a breathtaking aura on his body, even if he was far away, Lin Xiyu’s heart jumped violently at the sudden sight of him.
She averted her gaze and looked down at her book, and could not help but wonder what was the big deal with the Lu family, and why was Lu Junting come back?
 

“Xixi, why are you here reading again so early in the morning?”
 

Hearing this voice, Lin Xiyu looked up and saw that the person who came was a girl about the same age as her, with short hair cut and wearing puffy-sleeved pajamas.
She had just gotten up and her hair was a little messy.
 

Lu Yuan sleepily walked over to her and very nonchalantly squeezed her to the side, the chair where a person sat had to squeeze down two buttocks.
She put one hand on Lin Xiyu’s shoulder, and her body leaned lazily against the back of the chair.
“Don’t read too many books, you will be foolish.”
 

Lin Xiyu glanced at her.
“It’s you who will be foolish.”
 

Lu Yuan’s mother, Zhang Yao was a good girl friend of Lin Xiyu’s mother, married into the Lu family when she was young.
After Lin Xiyu’s parents passed away, the Lin family no longer had any relatives who could raise her, so Zhang Yao took Lin Xiyu to the Lu family to raise her.
Lin Xiyu came to the Lu family at the age of fifteen, and it had been six years since then.
The Lu family also took good care of Lin Xiyu and she lived well here.
 

Lin Xiyu thought of something and subconsciously glanced towards the house in front of her.
There was no one on the second floor window now, and she said, “By the way, why is brother Junting coming back?”
 

When Lu Yuan heard this, she immediately looked bitter, “Ah? My eldest brother is back?”
 

“You don’t know?”
 

“I know that now.”
 

“……”
 

Lu Junting was young and talented.
At the age of nineteen, he was ordered to take over the Chang Yuan Group, and at the age of twenty he became the sole power.
Now, at the age of twenty eight, he had shaken those old greasy shareholders in the Chang Yuan Group into submission, it was needless to say about his ability and courage.
 

Although Lu Junting had the same generation as them, but because he was several years older, coupled with the long-term polishing in the business world, his personality was also more stable than his peers.
Even though he was only twenty eight, he had a more stable and sophisticated personality than a forty eight years old, not to mention them as juniors, even the elders who were a round older than him would have had fears towards him when they stood with him.
 

It was no wonder that Lu Yuan was afraid of him, and in fact, Lin Xiyu was afraid too.
 

When the great family head was not here, everyone would feel a little bit comfortable, and once the great family head returned, the whole house would have a serious atmosphere, so it was no wonder that Lu Yuan would also feel uncomfortable.
 

“I don’t think so ah.
Didn’t he just buy Yi Xun electronics? He should be very busy now, is there something wrong at home for him to be back so early in the morning?”
 

Yi Xun electronics was an Electronic Manufacturing Services, and had been listed for two years.
The company’s stock market had been very stable and it could have gone all the way up, but recently the Yi Xun group senior management’s scandals had broken out, resulting in a continuous decline in stock prices, and many of their shareholders sold their stocks at the bottom.
Lu Junting took advantage of this opportunity to directly acquire Yi Xun with a rapid and direct momentum.
 

Many people in the industry had analyzed that Yi Xun’s scandal was actually deliberately released by Lu Junting in order to acquire Yi Xun at a low price to expand his business territory.
 

The Lu family’s ancestors were in the building materials industry, but recently the rapid expansion of the Internet media industry has given traditional businesses a strong impact.
The Lu family’s Chang Heng group also entered a low point for a long time, but after Lu Junting came to power, he vigorously developed in electronic technology, especially in the semiconductor and mobile phone, home appliance industries.
After several years of development, Chang Heng group’s electronics, mobile phones, home appliances had entered the leading ranks of their respective fields, and Chang Heng group’s market value had also increased nearly ten times in just a few years.
 

Chang Heng electronics rose rapidly, and the factory was full.
The development of Chang Heng electronics needed a huge factory capacity.
If this time Chang Heng electronics could acquire a large manufacturing service, then the company would be able to solve the urgent needs, the development would also be more effective with half the effort.

Chang Heng naturally set their eyes on Yi Xun.
 

If it was true as the people in the industry say, that all of this was planned by Lu Junting to be able to acquire a large company so quickly, then this person’s heart and strategy was immeasurable.
 

Lin Xiyu did not understand about the fight and scheme in the business world, but anyway, she knew that Lu Junting was a very powerful person, and that’s all.
Lin Xiyu closed the book and pulled Lu Yuan’s hand, “Let’s go back to have breakfast.”
 

The Lu’s family house was very large and it was divided into three parts.
The middle main building and two wings of the courtyard.
The main building was the Lu family hea
