Chapter 257 Sandwich Cookies
Lu Dingsheng looked at Yang Wenqi, was silent for a moment, and said nothing. He raised his hand to tidy up the hair around Lu Xinyue's ears.
Lu Xinyue pointed at the lead dancer on the stage, looked at Lu Dingsheng and replied, "Dad, I think that auntie dances very well, better than my teacher."
Yang Wenqi frowned as he listened and looked at Lu Xinyue.
Lu Dingsheng didn't look at Yang Wenqi's reaction, he just said to the child: "If you work hard, you will be able to dance better than your teacher and that auntie."
"But my mother said that I can't dance forever. I need to study hard and help my father run the company in the future."
Yang Wenqi glanced at Lu Dingsheng when he heard this.
Lu Dingsheng just asked his daughter: "What does Xinyue want to learn?"
Lu Xinyue: "Is it okay if I want to learn dancing?"
"What kind of dance do you want to learn?" Yang Wenqi looked at Lu Dingsheng and asked with a smile, "She is so young, if you ask her, she will definitely choose something fun. If you say yes, will you allow her to develop in that direction?"
Lu Dingsheng: "As long as she likes it and can do it well, why not allow it?"
Yang Wenqi looked at him, thinking he was joking, but Lu Dingsheng's expression was serious, and she immediately became alert.
"Brother Sheng, if Xinyue really goes dancing, who will help you manage the company when we get old?"
Lu Dingsheng: "The Lu family has so many children, and if someone is capable of taking care of it, if it doesn't work, it's not impossible to hire a professional manager."
Yang Wenqi naturally wondered in her heart, does the Lu family's children he mentioned include Lu Xingchen? But she still smiled at Lu Dingsheng, "You mean, if Yiheng's children are capable, you can hand over the family business to them."
"Yes." Lu Dingsheng answered pertinently, "Even 20 years later, Xinyue is only in her twenties. If my body allows, I can still support her from behind. But if not, given her age and experience, she is still relatively weak, and it would be a bit difficult for her to support the Lu family."
The old lady also heard Lu Dingsheng's words, but she didn't say anything. She watched expressionlessly as the Wing Chun performance ended and Xu Fanghua stepped off the stage.
Yang Wenqi continued, "Xingchen is only 26 now. Brother Sheng, do you think she can succeed in her career?"
"Her own business?" Lu Dingsheng looked at Yang Wenqi calmly, and his tone was even more determined, "Yes."
Yang Wenqi's eyelids jumped when she heard this, and a smile curved up her lips. She glanced at the silent old lady and said, "What if Xingchen were to take care of Lu's business now? Would she be able to do it?"
Lu Dingsheng glanced at Yang Wenqi again, this time lingering on her face a little longer, and replied: "No."
Yang Wenqi felt a little relieved, and so did the old lady.
Lu Dingsheng spoke again, "But if no one in the Lu Group makes things difficult for her, excludes her, or suppresses her, and she is in a purely business environment, even if she still needs to be tempered, she will soon become an excellent decision maker."
The old lady lowered her eyes upon hearing this and stretched out her hand to turn the ring on her finger.
Yang Wenqi: "Do you think that when our Xinyue reaches her twenties, she won't be able to reach Xingchen's level?"
Hearing this, Lu Xinyue looked at Lu Dingsheng with her big watery eyes.
Lu Dingsheng touched her head and said, "Xinyue is still young, it's too early to draw any conclusions. Rather than asking her to become a certain kind of person, I hope she can be herself happily."
He said this to Lu Xinyue, although he was not sure if she could understand him. But he looked at Yang Wenqi and said, "But for now, it will take more experience and accumulation for Yiheng to bring those children up."
Yang Wenqi couldn't help but look at the old lady again, and asked Lu Dingsheng: "So, Brother Sheng thinks that no other child in the Lu family can compare to Lu Xingchen at present."
Lu Dingsheng: "It's not just what I think, but people who have watched these children grow up will come to this conclusion based on their behavior and actions."
Yang Wenqi bent down slightly and looked past Lu Dingsheng to the old lady, and asked with a smile: "Mom, I don't know much about our Lu family's children. Do you think Brother Sheng is right?"
"What is right or wrong?" The old lady turned her gaze from the stage to look at Yang Wenqi, obviously not wanting to answer this question.
But Yang Wenqi continued to explain to her with a smile, "Brother Sheng said that all the children in the Lu family are not as capable as Xingchen in business. Do you agree?"
The old lady gave Yang Wenqi a look and said, "I am an old lady in my seventies or eighties. I don't have the ability to judge people. I can only watch performances and listen to operas."
After hearing this, Yang Wenqi changed the subject and asked, "What do you think of the Wing Chun dance just now?"
The old lady frowned slightly and turned to look at Yang Wenqi. Do you know what it means to stop when you are done? There was no expression in her eyes, but a smile rose at the corner of her mouth. "No matter how beautiful the dance on the stage is, it is not as good as the opera sung by the people below the stage. The people below the stage not only can sing, but their acting skills are also first-class."
Yang Wenqi naturally thought of the time when the old lady gave her Chinese medicine but she refused it. She couldn't argue back, so she joked with Lu Dingsheng, "Mom's words are really interesting."
Lu Dingsheng looked at his mother and smiled slightly, then took a piece of fruit from the fruit plate and gave it to her.
The old lady glanced at him, took the fruit, but didn't eat it. She put it on the plate and asked him, "What did you say about Lu Xingchen just now?"
Lu Dingsheng was helpless. He was being attacked from both sides, and he understood it.
"I just answered Wenqi's question based on the facts, but I also said that Xingchen will have to make a difference in Lu's company unless others don't hinder her, so you don't need to ask me for the answer in a roundabout way. Besides, the girl may not want to come back. I really don't understand you. If you don't want her to return to Lu's company, why do you want to hinder her own development? If it's just to make her life difficult, then how did she offend you? Or did I, Lu Dingsheng, offend you?"
Lu Dingsheng said this with a serious tone.
Lu Xinyue immediately grabbed his hand and asked, "Dad, are you angry?"
Lu Dingsheng then calmed down his expression quickly and put his arm around Lu Xinyue's shoulders. "Dad is not angry. He was just discussing something with Mom and Grandma."
Seeing that he was unhappy, Yang Wenqi didn't dare to say anything more.
The old lady didn't want to show off in public, so she said to Aunt Chen beside her: "Aunt Chen, help me go to the bathroom."
Lu Dingsheng said, "I'll go with you."
"No need." The old lady replied, and left with Chen Ma. Because they were two elderly people, Lu Dingsheng looked at the female bodyguard on the sidelines. The bodyguard on standby immediately nodded and strode to the exit to meet the old lady.
Lu Dingsheng continued to watch the show with his daughter. Halfway through, he suddenly realized that the old lady saw Xu Fanghua on the stage. She probably left the stage not to go to the bathroom but to find her. He frowned slightly and sat until the show was over. He turned to Yang Wenqi and said:
"I'm going to see mom."
