Wednesday, continued …

Lu Jinhu and Yang Lin walked into the foyer of Lu Corporation . Rather than walking through to his father's office, he called and confirmed to his father's secretary that they had arrived . They were told to come up to his office .

5 minutes later …

After being made wait outside his father's office for a few minutes Lu Jinhu and Yang Lin were shown into the office . Both were angry in being left waiting to be shown in . As soon as the door was shut .

"Father, why …"

"Lu Jinhu, simply shut up . I have spent my time since I arrived back engaging in damage limitation . Do you not think about what you do, and its consequences?"

"But …"

"JInhu . You are my son and I love you and Yang Lin, and your unborn child but if you cannot think about consequences there will be nothing for you to inherit . This company relies on the interrelated nature of business in this country, and you can push others away, a they will have to make decisions about who the collaborate with us or Hou Enterprises . "

"If we come out on the wrong end, everything will collapse . I have read your press release, and Lu Corporation's release is ready . Your office is being packed but it will remain vacant until we can ease you back in sometime in the future . That will be a wait and see . We need to go down, and you two better d.a.m.n well be humble and ready to apologise . You have it . "

"Yes father" echoed both Lu Jinhu and Yang Lin .

CEO Lu decided this was the time to play the other card he had received earlier and opened the draw where he had the photographs sent to him, plus a few of the others he had gathered over the last few months . He needed to bring these two to the point that they will do what he wants, rather than going off and causing him more problems .

Throwing them across the desk, he said "Look at these . "

Lu Jinhu opened the envelope and pulled out what was inside noticing he had them upside down . As he flipped them over and they started to look at them both could not believe that they had been spied on .

"What the . . . " spluttered Lu Jinhu .

"You think I trust you without having something up my sleeve to control you? I do not . And do not worry, that is a sample . I have photographs and footage that if you push too far, and start to bring the company down, I will provide to the police . What I have will see the two of you jailed . Now sit down and listen to me carefully . "

With slumped shoulders, they sat down on the chairs opposite CEO Lu . As he saw their movements, he knew that he had them .

"Now, I will tell you once, and you need to listen . You will be taking total responsibility for what has happened absolving Lu Corporation from any blame . You will do what I say, and that includes if what I know you have done at the police station, given I had to pick up the pieces in talking to the two officers you spoke to . The junior one was on side with doing what we wanted, but the senior one questioned it . "

"I had to feed them information, and if that b*tch of yours Lu Jinhu is any sort of lawyer she will have twisted the truth out of them . You will, and I mean you will accept total responsibility for me doing that if they are caught, by saying that you prompted the call by saying that I would confirm the truth . That allows me to say, 'I told them that I believe my son and daughter-in-law would tell the truth . "

"Further if anything else comes out, you will accept that you were responsible, not me, and protect me and the company . Any failure will result in me releasing enough of this, to ensure that you spend years in jail . You cooperate, I will ensure that you are financially supported, and will do absolutely everything to keep you from jail . you understand the deal?"

Both looked at each other and realised that they had no option but to agreed, and meekly responded "Yes father . "
