Zhao Shaotianâs face changed: ââŠYou!â
âIâd really like to learn from Young Master Zhao Shaotianâs eloquent speech, who managed to even bamboozle Lin Dahai, who started up with my father, into wanting to buy a worthless piece of land.â
The person before him was the man behind Lin Dahai, the companyâs second-largest shareholder. The land acquisition that Lu Li had halted was a joint scheme they concocted against the Lu Corporation.
That piece of land was just a useless plot with no value whatsoever.
Casting a glance at Zhao Shaotian, whose expression slightly altered, Lu Li scoffed, âIâm not sure if you think your Zhao Corporation can take on the Lu family, or if you believe that with just that piece of worthless land, you could decisively change the outcome, making my Lu family utterly fall so you could take such bold action.â
Frankly, if the Lu Corporation had really acquired that land in ignorance and built upon it, it would indeed rapidly deplete the Lu Corporationâs liquidity. But to say it could shake the foundation of the Lu Corporation was nothing short of a joke.
In his previous life, Lu Ya had resolved this minor issue, albeit with significant loss, but fortunately, it was arrested in time.
Zhao Shaotianâs face went through a series of changes, putting on an indifferent facade: âWhat is Young Master Lu Li talking about? I donât understand.â
âHeh, it doesnât matter if you donât understand. Iâve made up my mind. Go back and tell your elders that youâve offended the Lu family, scheming against the Lu family. I really donât know where you got the courage from.â
Zhao Shaotian was indeed Ye Chenâs man, and Lu Li wouldnât let him continue breezily as in his previous life, especially considering his own humiliating journey, where this guy had been tirelessly working for Ye Chen.
Lu Li turned back, looking at Chen Xiaoyi, who was glaring at Zhao Shaotian.
âNow you understand what âa knife hidden behind a smileâ means in the business world. Remember, verbal skills are useless. Such petty cleverness will only make you a laughingstock.â
What a tailored teaching from a good mentor.
âIâve remembered,â
Chen Xiaoyiâs eyes sparkled as she looked at Lu Li, her clear, milk-white face flushing red.
âLu Li, youâre so amazing, just a few words and you shut that annoying guy up.â Admiring Lu Li, she thought.
Zhao Shaotian seemed stunned by Lu Liâs unreasonable words, his usual eloquent speech rendered useless, his pale face showing intense shock and anger. How dare this worthless manâŠ
Although the streets had been buzzing about Lu Liâs recent maneuvers, he never believed mud could turn into gold.
It was just the Lu family forcibly elevating their worthless son.
But just now, he had actually been frightened by a worthless man.
Furious with rage.
âWhat are you doing here, bro!â A sexy girl in a black cut-out dress flaunting her figure, holding a drink, leisurely approached Zhao Shaotian: âOld man Cao is about to come out, have you prepared your gift?â
âWhat old man, donât talk nonsense.â Zhao Shaotian nervously glanced around, only relaxing after noticing no one was paying attention to them.
Looking nervously at his sister: âDonât speak carelessly outside, getting heard by others wonât end well.â
âTch, look at you, so timid.â Zhao Lu disdainfully rolled her eyes.
âYes, yes, Iâm not as brave as you. With all these people around, can you just behave a bit! My headâs aching!â Zhao Shaotian waved his hand.
âWhatâs there to be headache about, getting scared by Lu Li, hehe, back then you assured Dad and Mom, insisting that this time you would definitely make the Lu Corporation the big loser in taking that land!â Teasingly looked at Zhao Shaotian, Zhao Lu seemed quite happy to see her brother embarrassed.
âDammit! I donât know if Lu Li was truly naive or pretending, but to think he found out about my plan, now saying he wants revenge.â Zhao Shaotianâs face was very ugly, swearing under his breath.
âHmph, serves you right. The Lu family is at one level, and our Zhao family is at another. You just went and messed with them for no good reason. Even if they lost, it wouldnât hurt them much. If you were discovered, itâs game over for you, go ahead and worry!â Laughing, Zhao Lu looked at Zhao Shaotian, taking pleasure in his misfortune.
ââŠâ Twitching at the corner of his eyes, Zhao Shaotian was already troubled, and his sisterâs words didnât help.
He just wanted to swindle some money from the Lu Corporation. As for some unrealistic stuff, Zhao Shaotian wasnât a fool.
Zhao Luâs gaze shifted towards the distant tall figure. She also wanted to know if Lu Li suddenly changing his ways was genuine.
***
In a quiet room next to the banquet hall, an elderly man sat in a wheelchair. Despite being in a wheelchair, his complexion was rosy, his spirit vigorous. If not for the white hair and wrinkles on his face, no one would consider him an old man.
Behind him stood a stunning woman in a light-colored dress, her skin creamy and her beauty breathtaking, her white dress adding a shining touch to her beauty.
Elegant as a lotus flower is the best description for her. Her peerless beauty seemed to light up the entire room.
The woman seemed to carry some sorrow, looking restless, occasionally glancing in a certain direction.
âGirl, are you troubled by something?â Old Mr. Caoâs face revealed an intriguing smile suddenly.
âYouâve looked in that direction over thirty times now. Let me guess, there must be someone very important to my Yingâer over there, a little boyfriend?â
The old manâs face wore a teasing smile not fitting his age, the fearsome man in the eyes of many wealthy people appearing like an old child in front of his granddaughter.
âGrandpa, donât think nonsense, there isnât!â Cao Yingyingâs face turned red, protesting.
Cao Yingying bit her lip.
Not really a boyfriend, right? Until he died, they hadnât defined their relationship.
Sometimes Cao Yingying really couldnât understand why he liked such a woman, who was clearly so terrible, yet received such biased love.
âHahahaha, Iâm curious now. Which familyâs boy has caught our Yingâerâs attention so much?â Old Mr. Cao laughed heartily: âPoint him out to grandpa later. If he doesnât satisfy me, that boy canât even dream of picking the most beautiful flower from the Cao family.
âGrandpa!â Cao Yingying called out in reproach.
