Chapter 3: This Dog is Too Smart

Although the Lu family’s business was large, the Lu family’s people were never workaholics. The Lu’s business was founded by the family’s son who was born during a turbulent time of war. Abandoning literature and going into business, the eldest son of the Lus left the intricate and deep courtyard, standing firm in the economy with his own ability. However, even after staying in that kind of environment for a while, the family habits that have been ingrained into his bones were hard to get rid of.

Enjoyment can be said to be their attitude toward life. Each generation influences the next generation, so the children of the Lu family were very willful. From a young age, they were told about the lifestyles of their elders and that life is the foundation of all problems. Thus, even if work is busy, as long as it’s not a large event like the sky collapsing, even if they earn less, they believed that they should spend some time with their family and eat a meal together.

It is because of this kind of style that the atmosphere of the Lu family was extremely harmonious and happy. Things like power struggles have almost never happened. In the eyes of outsiders, this was also a kind of inherited characteristic. Without a state of mind of that level, one really couldn’t live that kind of near indifferent, free, and easy lifestyle.

Lu Chenghe, who now serves as the president of the Lus, was extremely busy with the chaotic state of his family after his father’s unexpected death. Afterwards, he still adhered to the family’s habits. At work, aside from overseeing some major projects, he also needed to make his own business decisions. If the work could be completed by his subordinates, then he would never meddle in it. Things like overtime work were only necessary when there were particularly large projects to work on, and every week, he would dedicate at least one full day every week to his own relaxation.

Compared to other presidents, Lu Chenghe was simply a different species. This was also because of the Lu family’s innate ability, which was the skill of having a unique insight regarding people or other matters. Otherwise, how could the huge Lu family be so prosperous under the management of such a lazy president? Perhaps it would have fallen apart a long time ago.

Fine food was another indispensable part of their lives. Lu Chenghe has eaten those kinds of things from when he was small up until when he grew up. Top ingredients from all over the world were already part of the Lu family’s everyday life and seeing the butler push a food trolley around was also very common.

But Zuo Ning, who had come to the dining hall for the first time, was foolishly looking around until the two maids lifted a huge shrimp and placed it on the table. Zuo Ning was sure that the shrimp was really big enough to take up half of the table, and this wasn’t the result of him becoming smaller which had changed his line of sight.

The lobster he’d seen before that was bigger than a washbasin was already absurdly expensive, so looking at this kind of gigantic shrimp which was of an unknown species and took up over half of the table, at this moment, he even wondered if he had crossed into a different world.

In order to clearly see what was on the table, Zuo Ning ran a few steps away and crouched with his head tilted toward one side. He was only able to see a slightly fat man wearing a chef’s outfit watching the maid place the huge shrimp down before picking up a knife and fork. He walked forward, cut a few pieces of shrimp meat, and placed them on the plate before bringing it to Lu Chenghe and nodding at the steward. The steward waved his hand: “Take it away.”

Lu Chenghe didn’t look at the giant shrimp which had a lot of meat left on it. Instead, he picked up his tableware and started eating the freshest and most tender shrimp meat cut by the chef. Zuo Ning, who was sitting on the side, wasn’t so calm anymore. That large of a shrimp, yet you’re only eating one or two pieces of meat? Even if you have money, isn’t this too wasteful?
