Chapter 1262 Rescue! (Day 9 of Saturday, please vote!)

"Director Lu!"

Just as Lu Yaxun was hesitating and struggling as she walked into the office, someone called out to her. She looked up and was slightly taken aback, clearly not recognizing the person at first glance.

After all, although his adopted son and wife regarded him as a bastard, and he was not even as good as Xu Zhisen, the descendant of a scholar who was not human, in the eyes of outsiders, he was the terrifying Director Lu.

Many wealthy businessmen like Xu Zhisen were neither noticed nor remembered by him.

The newcomer was clearly a wealthy businessman like Xu Zhisen. He glanced at him but couldn't remember him, so he didn't pay him any attention. After all, there were far too many wealthy businessmen like him. However, the young man standing next to the middle-aged businessman was far too eye-catching.

The image of a beautiful and talented person has been brought to life in this moment.

He sighed inwardly at the sight.

If only he had a son like that.

"Director Lu, I am Bai Erru!" The middle-aged businessman guessed that Lu Yaxun did not know who he was, and did not think much of it.

"It's President Bai!" Lu Yaxun vaguely remembered him.

After all, there aren't many wealthy businessmen with the surname Bai in the industry. He had some impression of them, even if he didn't recognize their faces, he had at least heard their names.

"Director Lu, this is He Chen, my daughter Bai Xiaohe's boyfriend." Seeing that Lu Yaxun didn't respond, Bai Erru had no choice but to take the initiative to introduce him.

"I shouldn't be bothering Director Lu at this time, but He Chen said that he is a good friend of Mi Lai and also very familiar with Lu Tao. They had some unpleasant conversations last night."

As soon as I heard that, I gave him a good scolding.

"If you're really uneasy, bring him here to apologize to Director Lu!"

"Friends with Lu Tao?" Lu Yaxun glanced at He Chen in surprise, but said noncommittally, "It's normal for young people to have some arguments, Mr. Bai doesn't need to take it to heart!"

"Didn't Lu Tao say anything?" Bai Xiaohe's father, who wore glasses, asked, both surprised and hesitant to speak.

This piqued Lu Yaxun's curiosity, and he quickly asked what was going on.

“Uncle Lu, let me do the talking!” He Chen was only using the name of the bespectacled woman’s father to get in touch with Lu Yaxun. After exchanging pleasantries, when it came to business, he had to do it himself.

As for why they didn't just rush in and confront Lu Yaxun directly, but instead went through all this trouble, there's naturally a reason!
First of all, Lu Yaxun is not like Lu Tao and his ilk. He is a person of low rank but high power who has been able to uphold his principles for decades, remain unmoved by wealth and status, and not be corrupted by his adopted son and wife. He speaks out for the common people and is indignant about their plight. Such a person deserves He Chen's full respect.

Making an excuse to change the situation makes it more acceptable to people.

You should know that he was willing to be childless and childless for the sake of this wife and adopted son.

With such feelings and dedication, his ability to resist their erosion is all the more precious!
Of course, He Chen still needs to investigate whether this 'willingness to live a simple life' is an act.

After all, living a hard life while making a fortune is a classic example.

Even though He Chen had watched the TV series "Struggle" and Lu Yaxun didn't seem like Zhao Dehan, he eventually compromised and asked for favors for his adopted son, Lu Tao.

Who knows if this is the beginning, or perhaps a hidden storyline that can't be told?

Furthermore, this world is a crossover universe, not a single timeline. The plot and character settings have changed to varying degrees. Heaven knows what Lu Yaxun is thinking and what he does in private.

He Chen needed to investigate this thoroughly beforehand.

He can check Lu Yaxun's bank card information, but people like Zhao Dehan would never keep money in bank accounts. So, to find out who Lu Yaxun really is, you should ask someone in the industry.

After all, if Lu Yaxun really is Zhao Dehan, then he would definitely interact with people in the industry. And Bai Erru, the father of the bespectacled girl Bai Xiaohe, is a well-known local entrepreneur. Even if he doesn't know everything, he would definitely have heard about it if there were any problems.

So after driving Lu Tao and Xia Lin away last night, he left quickly and took the opportunity of taking the bespectacled girl Bai Xiaohe home to talk to Bai Erru about the matter.

After learning that Lu Yaxun had a genuinely good reputation and absolutely no negative comments about him, he jokingly brought up the matter and asked Bai Erru to help introduce him.

Bai Erru was shocked by He Chen's positive energy and repeatedly tried to persuade him not to get involved in such matters. After his persuasion failed, he had no choice but to agree.

Because he only has this one precious daughter, it seems that He Chen has her completely under his control, while He Chen is perfect in every way except for this kind of impetuous and overly positive energy.

Putting everything else aside, the fact that He Chen was able to pull their daughter out of a deep emotional slump is enough for them to accept He Chen as their prospective son-in-law.

As for principles like the Doctrine of the Mean and the idea that harmony brings wealth in business, these should be relegated to a secondary position at this point.

Offending Director Lu Yaxun means you've offended him.

If things don't work out, we can just move the business to other places.

If things get really bad, I'll just quit!

What's the big deal?

Anyway, I've already made enough money. I only have this one precious daughter, and I don't care about their money. I can support myself perfectly well and live a good life.

This prospective son-in-law is even more impressive.

Thinking about it this way, the bespectacled woman's father impulsively did something contrary to his experience and habits over the years, and went along with his prospective son-in-law He Chen's antics, which led to this scene early this morning.

But after hearing He Chen speak so frankly and explain the whole story, his previous impulsiveness dissipated, and he began to regret it, glancing at He Chen frequently.

This prospective son-in-law, you could have subtly reminded Director Lu of the cause and effect, so he wouldn't ruin his reputation in his later years. Why did you have to go on and on with all that?

You even gave such detailed evaluations of Director Lu and his family. Are you praising Director Lu for being loyal and righteous, or are you directly cursing him for being a cuckold and a bastard, willing to be childless and raise such a dehumanizing child?

That's incredibly bold!

Bai Erru had already reacted this way, let alone Lu Yaxun, who was truly shocked, his face turning red and white in turns.

The red one needs no further explanation.

He's really ashamed to talk about his love life; it's incredibly embarrassing. But in the past, no one dared to talk to him about it to his face, so he just played the coward and pretended not to know.

If He Chen and Bai Erru hadn't abruptly stopped him so early in the morning, he would have definitely inquired about it once he got to work, and then indirectly helped his adopted son and his love rival get preferential treatment.

Even though it was nipped in the bud and never actually happened, the words he used to reprimand his adopted son Lu Tao, those beliefs and principles he had upheld for decades, seemed to breach the dam in his heart at this moment, impacting his internal organs and causing immense pain throughout his body.

How heartfelt my words were when I was disciplining my adopted son! Now I feel so ashamed and pained!
"Director Lu, I'm sorry, He Chen is too young and spoke without thinking!" Bai Erru was no longer worried about Lu Yaxun's retaliation or harassment, but rather about whether Lu Yaxun's body could handle it. He quickly tried to smooth things over, fearing that Lu Yaxun might collapse.

"No! He's right!" Lu Yaxun interrupted Bai Erru, straightened his already neat clothes, and bowed solemnly to He Chen: "He Chen, you saved me, thank you!"
