Offer to the CEO

Friday

Lu Jinhu arrived at the police station in the company of prison authorities, angry his father's actions had brought him here again.He was trying to get through his home detention sentence without incident so he could then work to undermine that b*tch, that did not breach the order of protection, and get back to where he needed to be.

Part of that was being constructive with his time.As he was only three units short of his Masters of Business Administration, he figured he should finish it off online, which they agreed to.He would then have eight months to wait before returning to Lu Corporation, now with a MBA behind him.

His father's unchecked currently unchecked ego should, by the time his ban was up lead to the board and shareholders ejecting him as CEO, and with the MBA he would then be in prime position to take it over, given the charter requirements for a CEO, a Lu or a decedent of the founder.Presently there were only five people in with a shot of the position other than himself.

Four, while having senior management positions were in roles that required no skill and effectively were all public relations appointments who would go out to promote the company while collecting obscene amounts of money.There was only that distant cousin who had a low level entry management job, no university education, and in reality no plans to do anything other that work his way up.Stupid.

Unlike his father, who was being reckless he could admit he would screw up but would own his mistakes and deal with the consequences of his actions.He father looked for others to take the blame, and blackmail was his stock in trade to have everyone do what he wanted.

Two years ago he had realised that his childhood and teenage mistakes had no power to be used against him and started to stand up the old man.The problem was in that same visit he bumped into a single mother three years younger than him and he realised she was the one for him, not Anna.He had been able to keep her a secret from the old man until the Christmas prior when he found out about it and used her to blackmail him again because he was worried about her and her children's safety.Classic actions by his father.

The woman that everyone thought was his mother and he had thought until he was twenty was not.She was the woman his parents wanted him to marry, but she was infertile.They found a young woman, easily manipulated impregnated her and married her.

His real mother was illiterate and had been convinced that the documents she signed were to protect her and their child, but in fact it was an agreement that as soon as the child was born, they would immediately divorce, she would leave with a small amount of money and that his step-mother would become the registered as his mother.All because the damn Lu Corporation Charter required a legitimate child born of a marriage for a member of the LU family, for potential CEO and heirs.

He only became aware of the situation when his real mother's brother came looking for him almost two years ago.His mother had re-married and had other children, from the second marriage.The youngest child, a daughter was eight-years-old and had Leukemia.No one else in the family was a donor match, and that is when his mother told the family about him.

She had been ashamed with what had happened, and refused to tell her family.She struggled and met a man who loved her for who she was, educated herself and raised a new family.It was only when their daughter received her diagnosis and no one else in the family was a match that she said anything.The old man denied it but digging with assistance found out what had happened.The story from the uncle was true.He got tested and was a match for his half sister.

His father found out about that and the help that he was giving them, but given he was following plans to get Australian citizenship he did not worry.He continued to let the old man manipulate him, as he allowed him to help his mother and her family, including that damn debacle with Du XuXu.

He knew that should not have happened, but the old man threatened to have his mother thrown into jail for breaching the confidentiality of their so-called divorce settlement.There was no way that that was going to happen.
