Proud Goddess Falls in Love with Me
Chapter 1217 - 1217 1177 First Day on the Job

1217: Chapter 1177: First Day on the Job 1217: Chapter 1177: First Day on the Job The next day, early in the morning, Lu Chuan got up and went to the Council Hall in the Lu Manor.

The core members of the manor were all hurriedly heading there, as the first meeting they had today was of utmost importance.

With the changing of the guard in Lu Manor, today marked the first day after the transition, making the meeting especially significant for them.

Lu Chuan also arrived at the conference room and saw Lu Qianying already sitting in the main seat, her presence dominating as she scanned the room, clearly signaling that from today onwards, she was the new Manor Master of the Lu Manor.

Those sitting around her were the people who had supported her from the beginning.

It could be said that the Lu Manor had completely replaced its old guard with a new set of administrators.

Lu Qianying looked around, and seeing that enough people had arrived, she began, “Has everyone arrived?

Take your seats, please.

I have something important to discuss with you today.”

Everyone sat down, many of them very nervous, as they were initially followers of Lu Qianyu and could also be considered her close confidants.

Therefore, their fates were likely to be decided today.

How Lu Qianying dealt with them would be of paramount importance!

During the meeting, Lu Chuan sat next to Lu Qianying.

“Why don’t you sit here?” she asked Lu Chuan.

Lu Chuan’s intervention had changed everything, so Lu Qianying wanted to offer him the main seat.

But Lu Chuan shook his head.

“No, you sit here well, why should I take your place?

From today, this Manor is yours, you are the one in charge, you are to manage everything here.”

Hearing this, Lu Qianying took a deep breath and nodded solemnly, “Rest assured, I will manage well.”

“Also, I will not repeat past mistakes and engage in underhanded, despicable acts.

I will lead the Lu Manor to be a respectable family power!”

Lu Chuan slightly nodded, expressing his approval, “No problem, well said.

I look forward to your performance.”

Then, Lu Qianying turned to the rest of the people and said, “Everyone, many of you here were followers of Lu Qianyu.

So, please stand up, I will be addressing you next.”

As soon as she finished speaking, people gradually started standing up.

They all knew that they could not escape!

Lu Qianying had grown up in the Lu Manor, fully aware of what was occurring.

Cheating her was basically impossible.

Thus, they obediently stood up, not daring to hesitate.

“Good, you seem honest enough as those who should stand have stood up.”

“Next, I am going to announce how you will be dealt with.”

“Many of you were followers of Lu Qianyu.

If I were to kill all of you, I’d be no different than a brutal murderer.

Therefore, each of you will be demoted one rank, others will take over for now, and you will undergo a one-month assessment.

If your performance is satisfactory, you may gradually regain your positions.”

These words lightened the heavy mood of several people.

“Really?

We can still stay in the manor?”

“That’s great, wonderful!

We weren’t truly devoted to Lu Qianyu, it was beyond our control.

Thank you for trusting us, new Manor Master.

We will perform well!”

“We appreciate your mercy and will remember this!”

Many of them spoke excitedly, very moved and thrilled by this unexpected opportunity.

“Alright, perform well from now on and try to satisfy me, otherwise, I will still show no mercy.”

They all nodded in response.

“Don’t worry, we will remain loyal and devoted to you!”

“I will manage the Lu Manor diligently as atonement for my past actions!”

“Family Head, I will definitely perform well!”

“…”

Lu Qianying turned to Lu Chuan and asked, “What do you think?”

Everyone else also looked at Lu Chuan, knowing he was the true powerhouse, and even Lu Qianying heeded his advice.

Lu Chuan nonchalantly nodded, “No opinions, make the decision yourself.

I won’t interfere, after all, you are the Manor Master.”

Lu Qianying smiled and nodded, “Alright, that settles it.”

Just then, a person walked in swiftly, approaching Lu Qianying with urgency.

“Manor Master, the latest news, the Lu Family Army is marching this way!”

“What?

Isn’t that battalion of the Lu Family Army supposed to be attacking Bai Yan City?

What do they have to do with us?”

“I don’t know, but they changed direction midway and are now heading our way, probably…

they’ve learned about the disturbances here.”

Lu Qianying took a deep breath, her facial expression turning grim.

She turned to Lu Chuan and asked, “Lu Chuan, what do you make of this situation?

The Lu Family’s army was supposed to confront Bai Yan City, yet now they are coming towards us!”

Lu Chuan furrowed his brows, pondering seriously.

“I know, this is no trivial matter.

If a large army is set to attack us, we naturally have to prepare.”

Lu Chuan sighed, “But originally, their target was Bai Yan City, they weren’t supposed to come here, yet suddenly in the middle of the night, they changed direction and headed our way.”

“If their intentions from the beginning were to attack us, why would they bother making a detour?”

“So it’s clear, someone has leaked our situation to them, and that too, they were informed urgently overnight.”

“This is an intentional act, it’s not information they just happened to obtain.”

Lu Chuan’s words made Lu Qianying fall into deep thought.

“So, you mean…”

Lu Chuan slightly nodded, “Exactly, among those working here, someone has informed them, unveiling the events here leading them to promptly turn back to deal with this situation first.”

Hearing this, Lu Qianying furiously slammed the table and shouted, “Who did this?

Such audacity, do they no longer wish to live!

The events of yesterday, communicated overnight!”

“I suppose, you still haven’t given up!”

Those she had just pardoned became nervous again.

“Manor Master, it wasn’t me, I had no part in this.”

“It was him, I saw him acting suspiciously last night.”

“You’re lying, it was clearly you, you scoundrel, how dare you slander me!”

“I saw you last night sneaking around and discussing, it was definitely you, you were seeking revenge for Lu Qianyu!”

Then, Lu Chuan stood up, surveyed the people, and spoke indifferently, “Everyone, stop with the nonsense.

I’m not interested to find out who did it, because I’m going to eliminate all of you!”
