705 What Is He!

In order to take things one step further, Lu Guo had taken on that huge project. It was like a huge gamble. He had invested all his a.s.sets in this project. Even after investing all the company’s liquid funds, it was still not enough. Without the bank’s loan support, the project had to be suspended. Every day that it was suspended would lead to money lost. If the project was not completed, there was no way for him to get back the investment. If he could not get back the money, the Lu Corporation would have no money. This was a very terrifying cycle. If it dragged on until the end, the only thing that could happen was to declare bankruptcy. He could not see a second path. However, the news had been spreading like wildfire on the internet recently. In addition to the internal problems of the Lu Corporation, the stock price was plummeting rapidly. Under such circ.u.mstances, how could the bank possibly approve more funds for their company?

Lu Guo was in a difficult position, and Mrs. Lu’s face was as white as a sheet. After being rich for so many years, she was not completely unaware of the changes in the situation. When she thought about the difficulties that the Lu Corporation was facing, she could not help but panic. Her voice was trembling. “How did things become like this? Do we not have enough money?” Things were clearly fine before. The n.o.ble ladies had been courteous to her, and many people had surrounded her to please her. Her son had also just gotten married and was about to give birth to a grandson. Her life had been perfect, and she had been very proud of it. But how did everything change in just a few days?

“We’ve already invested all our money.” After the extreme madness, only dejection remained. Lu Guo sat on the sofa with his head in his hands and said weakly, “This project is extremely expensive. How can that amount of money be enough?” When the Lu Corporation was doing well, the bank’s att.i.tude was very enthusiastic. He was full of confidence that he could borrow enough money. When the project was completed, he would be able to get a return of a thousand times. Even in his middle age, he still had an undying ambition. He wanted to go one step further and raise the status of the Lu Family. However, all of this became a dream that could be destroyed in an instant.

Lu Guo had no choice but to face such a predicament. If only he had enough money, that project would have been able to repay him with a generous return. He could have paid off all the loans and let the Lu Corporation soar. He was so close!

“How could it be so fast?” Mrs. Lu’s face was pale as she muttered to herself. She suddenly recalled the profound words Lu Ze had said when he came to congratulate Lu Shaoyang and Su Ling on the day of their wedding. She could not help but feel regret in her heart. She subconsciously whispered, “We should’ve listened to Lu Ze. He’s right. That project looks attractive, but we can’t afford the risk. “Putting everything we have into a project. Once something goes wrong, we will have nothing!

“Shut up!” At this time, Mrs. Lu’s mention of Lu Ze was like adding oil to the fire. He grabbed the cup next to him and smashed it on the ground. “Who the h.e.l.l is Lu Ze? He only said a few sarcastic words! I’m the one who has supported the Lu Corporation for so long and brought it to greater heights!” He would never admit that he was inferior to Lu Ze! He could also do well, and the Lu Corporation would only develop better in his hands! Who was Lu Ze? What did he know!

A sinister look flashed across Lu Guo’s eyes as he coldly said, “Lu Ze only said that because he was jealous that I’m going to bring the Lu Corporation to greater heights than he has ever thought of. The more he thinks it’s impossible, the more I want to show him!” Lu Guo’s dispirited heart seemed to have been ignited with a flame. His eyes lit up again and he said firmly, “I want to continue with that project. I will rewrite history for the Lu Corporation. I will not admit defeat!”

Mrs. Lu paused. At this moment, she did not know whether to persuade Lu Guo to stop and minimize the losses or to support him to walk down this dark path. That project represented a huge return and a bright future, but the risks were too high. If one was not careful, one would fall into the abyss and be irreparable.

Mrs. Lu’s heart was beating fast. She wanted to persuade Lu Guo to calm down, but when she saw Lu Guo’s shocked eyes, she understood that Lu Guo would not give up. Not to mention the huge benefits right in his face, just to prove that he was stronger than Lu Ze and more qualified to be the head of the Lu Corporation, he would walk down a dark path. This had almost become his obsession. Mrs. Lu finally pursed her lips.
