From abandoned baby to CEO

On her second visit to Chairman Xue's house for the appointment, Sun Xue was no longer as nervous as before.

Lu Tingfeng, on the other hand, although he had been fighting in the business world for many years and had seen all kinds of big scenes, was still a little nervous when he visited the woman's family for the first time.

Zhu Biao was also a bit reserved.

Today, he was dressed in a very tasteful international brand suit, his back was straight, and he wore a light blue shirt and a beige sweater under the suit. His leather shoes were shiny and polished, and his well-fitting suit showed off his full figure with a prominent bust and buttocks.

What caught Chairman Xue's eye was not only Lu Tingfeng, but also the equally "dazzling" Zhu Biao.

She almost didn't recognize Zhu Biao. She laughed and joked, "Master Zhu, you look at least ten years younger today. Your suit is so stylish. If you stood next to Qianqian's dad, people would definitely think he was your driver. You look more imposing in your suit than him."

Zhu Biao couldn't take such praise. His face flushed and he chuckled, "President Xue, you're too good at complimenting people. This suit was even chosen for me by Xiao Sun."

Director Sun's gaze fell on Zhu Biao, and he smiled and agreed, "That's the truth, you certainly have an impressive presence."

Qianqian chimed in, "Uncle, with your looks and demeanor, if you walked down the street, people would definitely think you were a very wealthy and powerful boss."

Being praised by someone of such high status for the first time, Zhu Biao, sitting on the sofa, became even more nervous. He smiled broadly and kept rubbing his hands together to hide his nervousness.

Sun Xue joked, "Uncle, did you hear that? Everyone says you look impressive in a suit. When we go out together, people will definitely think you're my boss."

A few jokes from everyone immediately lightened the atmosphere considerably.

Joking aside, Zhu Biao was actually quite happy.

The clothes are indeed expensive, but they are really good.

Just before leaving the house, he looked at himself in the mirror for a full ten minutes, and even he himself liked his current appearance.

From that moment on, he truly understood the saying, "Clothes make the man, and a saddle makes the horse."

The moment Chairman Xue and his wife met Lu Tingfeng, his outstanding appearance immediately won their hearts.

Isn't this exactly what their "ideal son-in-law" looks like?

He is tall and well-built, with fair skin, and dressed appropriately and tastefully.

Having seen countless people, Director Sun immediately noticed the maturity and composure emanating from Lu Tingfeng.

His precious daughter needs the care of a mature man like him.

Director Sun was very satisfied with Qianqian's taste.

It has to be said that Lu Tingfeng is superior in both appearance and temperament to the high-quality men that his parents had chosen for their daughter.

Besides, they come from a wealthy family in a big city.

With Sun Xue praising Lu Tingfeng in front of the elderly couple, their affection for Lu Tingfeng was palpable.

Sun Xue could tell from the warmth of the elderly couple that they were quite satisfied with their future son-in-law.

Especially President Xue, from the moment Lu Tingfeng walked in, her eyes were filled with joy, and she couldn't suppress the smile on her lips.

She sat down next to Lu Tingfeng and showered him with concern and care:

"Xiao Lu, are you adjusting to the northern climate? Winters are colder in the north than in the south. You're dressed so lightly, don't catch a cold..."

"Auntie, it's alright. I often travel to the north for work, so I'll get used to it gradually."

"Qianqian's dad and I went to Shanghai for the Mid-Autumn Festival last year. Shanghai is truly beautiful in autumn, and the temperature is just right. We stayed at the Hilton International Hotel near the Bund. After dinner, we went to stroll along the Bund at night, enjoying the warm river breeze and taking a leisurely walk. It was so pleasant..."

"Auntie, my home is right by the Huangpu River, it only takes about ten minutes to walk to the river."

"Oh, that's a prime location in Shanghai, with beautiful scenery..." Chairman Xue exclaimed.

Sun Xue seized the opportunity to add, "Auntie, Tingfeng lives in a large villa of several hundred square meters, with a garden of two hundred square meters alone. The community environment is fantastic, with birds singing, flowers blooming, and streams flowing. I fell in love with his villa the moment I saw it. The difference between villas in the south and those in the north, in terms of design and amenities, is like night and day. My company also develops high-end villa projects, but compared to Tingfeng's, they are far inferior..."

Sun Xue was telling the truth. As an international metropolis, Shanghai is far behind northern cities in every aspect.

Chairman Xue's family is considered quite wealthy in the provincial capital. Their house, which is over 200 square meters, is considered a large house in the community, but this area is only the back garden of a villa.

Such a difference is indeed significant.

Sun Xue painted a picture of a happy future for the elderly couple:

"President Xue, after you and Director Sun retire, go to Shanghai to live out your retirement. Let Tingfeng help you buy a villa next to his house on the Bund. In your spare time, you and Director Sun can take a walk on the Bund together."

“Auntie, if you two are willing to go, there are two more houses in my villa area, because it is a project developed by my family’s company. My father has chosen three better layouts, and the other two houses have been vacant. If you and Uncle want to go there in the future, I will arrange the decoration style you want.”

Just based on Lu Tingfeng's words, he won the hearts of the two elders.

Sun Xue also realized what it means to be a starved camel that is still bigger than a horse.

Although the Lu Group is currently facing a crisis, its family business is still quite substantial.

Lu Tingfeng didn't say much when he entered the room, but every word he uttered pleased the two elders.

In just a few words, he demonstrated his maturity, composure, sincerity, and magnanimity.

Lu Tingfeng's words were not boastful at all. He has been doing business for many years and has always been sincere. This is a fine tradition of the Lu family and also Lu Huohua's constant teaching to him.

It is precisely this excellent family tradition that has honed Lu Tingfeng's calm and low-key character, and enabled this large family to stand firm in the fiercely competitive business world. Lu Huohua and his son have become the most low-key tycoons in Shanghai.

However, the company has encountered a crisis in the past year. At the height of their family business, it would not have been surprising if they had thirty villas, let alone three.

The atmosphere at home was harmonious and relaxed, and the scene was very warm.

Because the three of them arrived early, at 10:00 AM, they had plenty of time to chat before preparing lunch.

Chairman Xue and Lu Tingfeng had a very pleasant chat and started a question-and-answer session.

Lu Tingfeng remained composed and smiling as he patiently answered his future mother-in-law's various "interrogations," undergoing the first round of "testing."

To avoid neglecting Zhu Biao, Qianqian pulled him aside and started chatting with him with great interest.

Meanwhile, Sun Xue sat respectfully next to Director Sun, who helped explain the relevant matters regarding this international conference.

"Xiao Sun, I spoke with Vice Mayor Wang on the phone last night. He said your company has extensive experience in large-scale competition venues and ancient book restoration projects. Is that true?"

Sun Xue nodded vigorously, "That's right, Director Sun."

"Okay, I get it now."

Director Sun nodded, pondered for a few seconds, and said, "That's great. After the meeting, there will be a week-long project negotiation and ordering conference. I will recommend you to relevant overseas project leaders for discussions. Before attending the conference, you need to make thorough preparations. To secure the project, you need to prepare in the following aspects..."
