Chapter 487 - 469 Poisoned
The Lu Family had always been known for their decisive and swift character. Once they became aware of the Zhao Family’s situation and decided to intervene, it was better to act sooner rather than later. Xia Yuan quickly called Lu Yun and Lu Aiguo, and explained the situation between Lu Jinsheng and Zhao Xuan over the phone.
After hanging up, Xia Yuan said to the two of them, "I’ve already arranged with Xiaoyun to meet directly at the hospital. We’ll see Zhao Xuan’s grandfather firsthand to understand his condition before discussing further. As for the company side of things, your father will handle it. However, Zhao Xuan, a lawyer will also arrive at the hospital later, and at that time, we will need a power of attorney signed by you."
"Auntie, I have no understanding of the business matters, so I’ll just follow your instructions," Zhao Xuan said to Xia Yuan without any hesitation.
As she had mentioned, although she was the sole heir to the Zhao Family, she really had no knowledge about the company affairs. Previously, considering her grandfather’s age and his considerations for her to study business management in college, she had even "interned" at her family company for a few days.
During those days, she found herself getting headaches just looking at planning proposals, and she felt utterly listless.
Seeing that she seemed genuinely uninterested in the business, her grandfather eventually stopped pressing the matter. He thought that, in the worst-case scenario, he could sell off most of the company’s shares, leaving her with a large sum of money sufficient for a comfortable life and retain some shares so she wouldn’t deplete everything.
When Zhao Xuan was in a relationship with Baili Chengye, he repeatedly hinted that she didn’t need to be interested in business matters and that eventually, all she needed to do was to hand the company over to him and he would manage it.
Back then, she thought that Baili Chengye’s attitude was quite good, at least he didn’t force her to do what she didn’t like. Heh, looking back now, she realized just how naïve and foolish she had been.
