Chapter 407 - Glossy and Green (2/2)

”Ah Lui, look. I'm getting old. My health is not as good as it used to be. There has not been any progress in the company for years. I'm beginning to get anxious, too!”

Chu Lui pursed his thin lips. No progress? It was doing better as compared to the company that was on the brink of bankruptcy a few years back. It had recovered despite being on the verge of closing down, and it definitely had made more than one step in improvement.

People had always said that man was greedy by nature. When one was used to having too much, one tended to forget one's position.

”Ah Lui…” Mr. Li wanted to say more but was interrupted by Chu Lui. ”Dad, Brother will be taking over the business in the future. I believe he will have his way of handling things and make the company better.”

Li Manxuan couldn't take the agitation especially after just now. His girlfriend had shown an obvious interest in Chu Lui. That had irritated him and caused his hatred against Chu Lui to rise in his heart.

”That's right. Our family does not need to depend on others.” He stuck out his chest as his lips curled into a cold smile, and fireworks could be seen erupting within his eyes. They almost burnt his father. Mr. Li kept side-eyeing his son, trying to hint him; but Li Manxuan clearly was engulfed in his own realm of hatred. Not only did he not see his father's subtle hints, but he had lost all his basic thinking skills. For a man, what could be more humiliating and disgusting than being presented with a glossy and green hat by his own girlfriend and made a cuckold out of him?

Li Manxuan was disgusted, so thoroughly disgusted by his brother-in-law. Although his girlfriend was disgusting, the culprit was Chu Lui.

”Dad, you can rest assured.” Li Manxuan promised, teeth clenched. ”I believe once I have taken over the company, I will be able to bring it up to another level. Our equity will accumulate a few times more than now. It won't lose out to brother-in-law's company. Am I right, Brother-in-law?”

”I believe you, Brother.” Chu Lui replied plainly, not taking Li Manxuan's challenge seriously.

Sometimes, talent was an important thing. Not everyone had the talent to be a businessman, spot a business opportunity at first glance, and grab it or make full use of it. Chu Lui obviously was a talented businessman. Li Manxuan, on the other hand, was not. He became agitated too fast so he wouldn't be able to achieve much in the future. Such was human nature. To put it plainly, intelligence was important, too.

This was a man's war; there would be bloodshed, not fire or smoke.

Whereas in a woman's world, not all seemed peaceful. A woman's war, at times, was much bloodier than a man's.

”Sister Manni, you and Brother-in-law have such a cordial relationship.” Xu Shiyang sipped the fruit punch in her glass. One wondered at the sincerity of her remark. Was it mockery, envy, or jealousy?

”When you become my sister-in-law after you have married my brother, you will be more loving than Chu Lui and myself.” Li Manni smiled as her face lit up with bliss. Then, a look of jealousy flashed across Xu Shiyang's face.
