Chapter 1586: Unpredictable Lu Lijun
"If she believes that, then we will definitely get answers from Mister Lu Lijun and Chairman Lu," one of the journalists said, turning to the father and son. "We want to know about the news that was trending this morning. Chairman Lu, would you clarify it for us?"
"The concerned person can answer you better," Lu Linhai commented, calm and composed as if the question was of no importance.
The journalist turned to Lu Lijun as he flashed the pictures from the news on the screen present in the conference hall. The pictures of Lu Lijun and Jiang Yuyan together.
Lu Lijun realized this man had come prepared; he was likely sent by their enemies.
Lu Lijun leaned back in his chair and calmly glanced at the screen like everyone else, watching as the pictures were switched one by one.
"Mister Lu Lijun, what do you have to say about this?" the journalist asked. The entire conference hall fell into silence, eager to hear what Lu Lijun would say.
Instead of answering, Lu Lijun continued to check each new picture flashing on the screen, as if he was genuinely interested in seeing those pictures.
"Mister Lu Lijun," the journalist pressed, "You haven't answered."
Still his gaze fixed on the screen and observing the pictures, Lu Lijun asked, "Are there more pictures?"
"No, that's it," the journalist answered and stopped rotating the pictures. Then he asked, "Is there anything you want to say about it, mister Lu Lijun?"
"The person who took these pictures seriously needs to improve their photography skills," Lu Lijun said lazily as he turned to the journalists, "Not a single picture among all these I found pleasing to my eyes. When beautiful people are to be clicked, even a kid can take better pictures than this. Tsk! Truly disappointing."
The entire hall fell into dead silence as if everyone was trying to process Lu Lijun's words. It was a reply that came out totally different from everyone's expectations. He could either accept or deny the news, but what was with this answer? What was he trying to say?
"Mister Lu Lijun, what do you mean?" the journalist asked in confusion. "Are you saying that these pictures and the content of the news are true?"
Lu Lijun offered a sweet smile to the reporter before answering, "I hold journalists in high regard for their ability to understand and convey the truth to the world. By asking such a silly question, you are making me doubt your capabilities as a journalist."
"We only seek the truth..."
"When you have already published this news without seeking the truth from the concerned parties, then what is the use of seeking the truth now?" Lu Lijun questioned. "Wasn't that news published simply based on your ability as a journalist to see things clearly? If that's the case, then continue with it. No need to seek out the truth from me. Continue publishing news as you please, and I will decide whether I want to answer them or not."
Once more, there was silence in the conference hall. No one knew what to ask him now, or whether they should pester him further.
"We want to hear the truth from you," one of the journalists finally said.
"You do as you please, and I do as I please. We are totally being civil here. No one can force me to answer anything. Whatever I want to say, I will say when I feel like it. Until then, you are free to continue with your 'truth.""
"As there is nothing else, we will call off this conference," Xiao Min announced, as no journalist dared to ask Lu Lijun more about the matter.
They could not get a definitive answer from Lu Lijun, nor could they provoke any trouble. When it is usually the journalist's role to create challenges for the host, this time the host was not easy to deal with and was even blatant enough to say he wouldn't answer their questions. He didn't even try to defend himself or the women in question, leaving them with no more questions to ask.
Lu Lijun and the others stood up and left the conference hall. Not like Lu Lijun wanted to hide the truth about him and Jiang Yuyan from the world. Instead he was desperate to let entire world know that she belonged to him but it would happen on their own accord and when it was forced made by others.
The day when Jiang Yuyan tells him she was ready, he would not wait for even a second more and announce their relationship to the world.
On the way back to the office, Lu Jinhai spoke, "You have surpassed us all in the cunningness and being blatant and fearless."
Lu Lijun smiled lightly, "I am just upgrading what I have inherited from you, father."
Lu Jinhai chuckled lightly, "That's a better way."
Lu Jinhai returned to his office where Ning Jiahui was waiting for him while Lu Lijun went to the president's office where Jiang Yuyan was waiting for Lu Lijun.
As Lu Jinhai entered the office, he walked towards the couch where Ning Jiahui was sitting, looking at the screen where the highlights of conference was being played.
Observing the pleasant smirk on her husband's lips, she asked, "Are you that proud of your son?"
He chuckled softly, "Aren't you as well?"
She smiled back, "I am but being so confident and fearless always is not good either."
"He knows what he is doing, don't worry," Lu Jinhai assured, "He showed to his enemies that such tricks won't work on him and won't affect his goal. He had announced his strong stance and warning for them to keep his family away from mess."
"I understand," Ning Jiahui said, "Though I am his mother, I find him so unpredictable and unable to guess what goes in his mind. He makes me feel worried about him. I had not that worried about Lu Qiang or Yuyan when they took company in their hands."
"Then, it's good thing. He would be even more intimidating to his enemies," Lu Jinhai added as he assured, "I understand your worry about him, but he will be fine. He is the strongest of us all and will handle everything with ease."
