"How can you lack even this much courage? If that's the case, then our cooperation might not be able to proceed!"

Lu Fan naturally wanted the Dongfang family, but the Dongfang family he wanted had to be obedient and absolutely could not pose the slightest threat to him!

Otherwise, who knows if this might turn out to be a case of raising a tiger that will eventually cause trouble?

You'll regret it then!

Dongfang Taibai hesitated. The matter at hand was too important. He felt that he alone could not possibly determine that everything behind the scenes was orchestrated by his father!

Even though his arrival here and all the people involved were guided by his father behind the scenes, all for the purpose of making him the heir of the Dongfang family!

However, he hesitated when faced with Lu Fan's question.

His gaze was very clear to Lu Fan that if he didn't agree, the matter might be lost, but for him right now, this was a real opportunity!

Only by performing well now can one achieve instant fame later! All these situations are governed by cause and effect!

Lu Fan, who was standing next to him, was also constantly sizing up the other person. He knew the other person well and estimated that he would most likely agree to his request!

Even though he had become so shameless, he was even more aware that if he could rise to power and take control of the Dongfang family, it would be an extremely perfect thing.

"I can offer you better treatment. You will be in charge of all affairs within your Dongfang family. Other than that, all I need is for your family to serve me!"

Hearing this, Dongfang Taibai hesitated for a moment. It was clear that this matter was very advantageous to him, and the Dongfang family could remain stable in his hands.

Although Lu Fan is the person behind this, if Lu Fan falls, the Dongfang family can still become a regional hegemon.

It shouldn't have come to this miserable state, where so many people can easily suppress us!

Now, the other major families have seemingly broken ties with the Dongfang family completely, and these current events...

This also made them realize that the so-called four major families, while appearing united on the surface, were actually engaged in infighting behind the scenes.

Even if they cooperate with them, it won't be easy for the Dongfang family to overcome this difficulty. If something unexpected happens, the trouble will only increase!

"I'll go back and discuss this with my father. If possible, I'll give you an answer as soon as possible!"

Lu Fan smiled slightly and watched the other person leave, while Jiang Manyue, who was standing next to him, looked at Lu Fan with some doubt.

In her view, the Dongfang family would never agree to this; it was a complete and ruthless exploitation!

Moreover, the so-called benefits are negligible. As long as the Dongfang family remains independent, that amount will always be in their hands.

"Do you really think they'll side with you? Should we loosen our grip a bit? Once they get past the other major families, dealing with them will be much easier!"

Lu Fan smiled slightly, looked at Jiang Manyue beside him, and pulled her into his arms.

The two looked at each other, and Jiang Manyue looked at Lu Fan with a little shyness.

"Stop fooling around, we're still at the company. Besides, we have important business to discuss right now. You can't do this!"

Lu Fan went up and gave her a kiss. After a few kisses, Lu Fan looked at Jiang Manyue in his arms.

He knew perfectly well where the Dongfang family stood, and that this conflict had to be resolved through outsiders.

I was just creating an opportunity for them!

"Would you rather be the head of a chicken or the tail of a phoenix?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Manyue responded without hesitation.

"From a business perspective, it must be the tail of the phoenix, which has a very high value in the atmosphere and is far better than the head of the chicken!"

However, the aircraft carrier can dominate the market; a small segment can carve out a larger share of the pie—perhaps this is another path to wealth!

Lu Fan smiled slightly, thinking that the Dongfang family in front of him was fine.

For example, with these two metaphors, he believed even more in Dongfang Taibai and was willing to be the chicken's head!

After all, only by having you in our own hands can we forge a different path in the future!

Even in the most desperate situations, one might be able to carve out a new world out of nothing by relying on their own willpower!

That's why he was so convinced that the other person would choose him without hesitation!

Jiang Manyue belatedly looked at Lu Fan and understood the reason behind it!

"If what you say is true, then I understand the stakes involved. Your previous deliberate suppression was probably just a test!"

Lu Fan nodded. His actions just now were precisely to test the other party's ability to accept things!

In his view, the other party's choice is also of paramount importance to the development of the whole matter!

Just as the two were talking, a phone call came in. Looking at the phone number, Lu Fan nodded slightly.

Because this call was made by Dongfang Taibai just now!

"Mr. Lu, I've discussed what you said with my father. If it's really as you say, could you give us a little more benefit?"

This can be considered a cooperative expense; giving us a little something in return ensures that the Dongfang family will stand firmly on your side as well as the other major families!

He couldn't possibly refuse the other party's request, since he only needed to offer a small reward.

"If that's really the case, it's not impossible. I'll find someone to arrange this for you. Don't worry, the outcome will definitely satisfy you!"

On the other side, Dongfang Taibai and his father were somewhat anxious. In their view, no matter what happened next, the conditions offered by Lu Fan were already more than generous.

At the very least, the fact that the Dongfang family has complete control over the assets means that they control the entire family!

However, the ultimate control is entirely in his own hands, so it doesn't matter if the shares are with Lu Fan!

In the face of these profit-driven people, what this has shown is already grand enough!

"My father, President Lu, has agreed. He said he will send someone to contact us specifically!"

Just as the two of them finished speaking, there was a sudden knock on the door.

Both of them were somewhat puzzled. It was already late, and it seemed a bit strange that they had come at this time.

"It is I, Dongfang Yue!"

Upon hearing this, both of them were somewhat stunned. If it were anyone else, it would be fine, but Dongfang Yue was now their rival.

Although his son has already been arrested and is currently undergoing relevant procedures, it is likely that he will also face imprisonment.

They dared not relax until the very end!

"Hey, Patriarch Dongfang, what brings you here at this hour?"

Dongfang Taibai did not open the door. Through the crack in the door, he saw only a hunched old man outside.
