Li Anran looked at Li Rou's sinister eyes from the other side of the glass, not daring to speak or react.

Seeing that she remained silent, Li Rou became even more aggressive: "Did you hear me clearly?"

"I understand." Li Anran answered meekly. She was running around everywhere just to survive. Even if the Li family threw her into prison, it would be better than death.

On her way home, Li Rou kept thinking about how to align herself with the Lu Group so that she could not only meet with Lu Shen more often, but also strengthen her family's power.

As soon as she got home, she slumped onto the sofa without saying a word. Li You asked her, "How did things go?"

Li Rou explained, "Li Anran has already been sent in and locked up, but because of Chengcheng's matter, the Lu family seems to be dissatisfied with me. I can see that Lu Meifeng has a grudge against me."

"What happened to Chengcheng?" Although he wasn't at the Lu family's house, Li You had been inquiring about things these past few days, and he had heard about all sorts of things, big and small.

“Chengcheng fell into the pool, and I didn’t save him,” Li Rou said, rubbing her temples.

She couldn't be as selfless and kind as Jian Ruoxi; she was a selfish person, so much so that she still couldn't quite understand why Jian Ruoxi had done this.

Li You thought to himself, "How can I make up a story so that Li Rou can escape this responsibility?" Suddenly, an idea flashed into his mind, and he said to Li Rou...

"When you meet the Lu family next time, just tell them that you nearly drowned when you were little, so you're afraid of water and don't dare to go in." Your mother and I will agree with you on this, so don't worry.

Li Rou finally breathed a sigh of relief, but the heavy weight in her heart still lingered: "Then how should we forge a relationship with the Lu family? Simply cooperating now is not enough. I haven't had enough time to talk to Lu Shen alone, and our family hasn't benefited much."

“I called my friend over to discuss it with us. He’s also been thinking about collaborating with us recently.” Li You said as he made a phone call, “Mr. Zhang, you have time today. We’re just a small company, it would be an honor for you to join us.”

The person on the other end said some polite words: "Mr. Li is too modest. We will discuss this at your home later."

After hanging up the phone, Li You said to Li Rou, "President Zhang has made great strides in the new energy company. If we can cooperate with him, we can expand our influence in the future."

Upon hearing Li You's words, Li Rou had other ideas in mind. Since the three companies were cooperating, she and the new company would definitely have the most control over the resources.

Since that's the case, why not put herself in the most dangerous situation? The most dangerous situation is the safest situation. A big idea came to her mind.

So he said to Li You, "Next time we compete with our partner, why don't we reveal our trump card in new energy to them? If they try to steal our orders, we and Lu's Company will suffer heavy losses."

"But it won't have much impact on the Lu family. Only we will face the risk of a broken capital chain. At that time, I will have Lu Shen accompany me to handle things every day and manipulate public opinion."

Before she could finish speaking, Li You interrupted him immediately: "Have you ever thought about the consequences of what you're doing? It could lead to the complete collapse of the Li family, and the business that your mother and I worked so hard to build could be destroyed just like that."

It seems that Li Rou's idea did not gain Li You's approval.

Li Rou believed that as long as the company was on the verge of bankruptcy, the Lu family would definitely not abandon it.

Especially given the collaboration between the Lu family and himself, Lu Shen is a responsible person, as evidenced by his handling of Li Anran's pregnancy.

In addition, having worked with Lu Shen at the company recently, she has grown to admire him more and more. If she can find an opportunity to be with Lu Shen, she has a chance to rise in rank.

However, she couldn't communicate her ideas with Li Liyou, so she had to think of other plans.

Mr. Zhang reached a preliminary cooperation agreement with the Li family. Li Rou told Lu Shen about it: "My dad introduced me to a business deal a while ago. I talked to him about it first. It's a small company."

“You can make these small decisions yourself; you don’t need to report to me.” Lu Shen had great faith in Li Rou’s abilities.

In addition, given that the two had spent so much time together, she believed that Li Rou's character was trustworthy.

After some time, the new energy company was going to compete with a company from Country B for a project. The company's employees were working overtime from nine in the morning to ten at night, and the lights were always on. Lu Shen and Li Rou were among them.

The next day, the person in charge of the company from Country B crossed the border and was stopped by Li Rou as soon as he got off the plane.

Li Rou was fully armed, wearing sunglasses and a mask, making it impossible to see her face. Her whole body was covered up, and she was also wearing a pair of black sneakers that she had never worn before.

She took the initiative to greet the person in charge: "Hello, sir, our company is offering opening benefits today. Scan the code to receive a free USB flash drive."

The person in charge was surrounded by bodyguards who immediately separated Li Rou: "Excuse me, ma'am, if you insist on getting closer, don't blame us for using force."

Seeing that this method was not working, Li Rou had no choice but to distance herself from them and carefully observe whether there were any Chinese faces among these groups.

Sure enough, she found an Asian girl and had someone investigate her background. They discovered that the girl had gone abroad seven years ago, stayed in country B after graduation, and worked for the company.

She sent someone to the company's hometown and found that the girl lived in Xinhua Community. So, using the personal information of a company employee, she sent the package to the girl's hometown.

The package was addressed to the girl herself, so her parents didn't touch it after receiving it and left it for their daughter to open when she returned.
