Just after the two went inside, Lu Fan looked at the other person and could still tell from their eyes that this time they were serious.

"In that case, the Dongfang family might as well take the initiative to tell us your thoughts, and I will make a corresponding decision. Besides, since we have chosen to cooperate, we will naturally satisfy your sincerity."

Dongfang Yue remained silent, staring at Lu Fan for a long time. Dongfang Shuo, standing to the side, also watched as his father let Lu Fan in, something he had never expected.

In his heart, he had long regarded the other party as an enemy. In any case, his current situation was entirely due to Lu Fan.

Without Lu Fan's interference, he could be living a much better life now, and might even be in control of the entire family and already dominating the business world.

But now he can only live as an ordinary person within this family, and he no longer has the courage to go out and take on a position.

Moreover, his reputation was already ruined, and many people simply didn't believe him, all of which caused him immense distress.

“I know that what President Lu is doing now has brought about great changes to our entire family, and I have to admire how thoroughly President Lu considers every aspect of things.”

Dongfang Yue genuinely admired this, and he was well aware that every change made by Lu Fan was crucial.

That's why he wanted to have a more detailed talk with Lu Fan and discuss more decisions together.

"President Lu, your visit this time is definitely not as simple as it seems. Besides, the matter between us doesn't warrant your personal trip!"

As a shrewd and calculating person, Lu Fan could have easily gotten rid of this ordinary matter by having the Nangong family visit him in person.

Moreover, he didn't receive any information about this matter from the Nangong family.

"I'd also like to ask if this is really true? Is the Nangong family really planning to host a banquet for us tomorrow night?"

Lu Fan nodded. As for whether or not others should know about this, it was not important to him.

Moreover, even if he really brought the Dongfang family over, the Nangong family wouldn't say much.

"Why is your relationship with the Nangong family so strained? If that's the case, perhaps we can take this opportunity to ease tensions."

While speaking, Lu Fan also showcased his connections and network, subtly letting the other party know that his relationship with the Nangong family had long since changed.

Dongfang Yue had long been aware that Lu Fan and the Nangong family had always maintained close ties, especially Nangong Qi; the two of them were constantly playing around.

He also knew that this relationship was definitely not as simple as it seemed, and all these circumstances made him feel a little more wary of Lu Fan.

If it were an ordinary person, it might not matter, but someone as cunning as Lu Fan knows that this matter is already confirmed.

"Then I will go there in person tomorrow. Let's all be frank and speak frankly. I'm afraid I'll just be throwing my life away for you to see this time."

After confirming the matter, he immediately came to the conclusion that Lu Fan's actions were aimed at him.

Although he didn't know what was going to happen, once the Nangong family sided with Lu Fan, he would be completely isolated and helpless.

With his current Dongfang family, he's really nothing; the Ximen family has already changed a lot.

Or rather, the fact that it completely disappeared made him realize how ruthless Lu Fan was.

"How should I put it this time? It's also an opportunity for you. We're all supposed to be cooperating, and I'm going to do something big here."

He'll need your help then; I'm afraid I can't do it alone!"

Lu Fan knew very well that even if he gained the upper hand, he wouldn't be able to change the long-standing situation.

In particular, most of them were their former subordinates. They had already offended the Simon family, and many of the companies under his control were extremely loyal.

If this comparative advantage cannot be eliminated, it could become a ticking time bomb.

"What do you mean by that? Does someone as high and mighty as President Lu need the help of people like us?"

If you really say that, then we don't understand. It's as if everything is under your control.

Dongfang Yue spoke frankly, looking at Lu Fan and expressing her doubts.

Jiang Manyue stepped forward at this moment, his gaze fixed on Dongfang Yue.

This matter is of great importance, and since you have arranged so many people, you should know that we have undergone tremendous changes.

There are many things going forward that are for everyone's common development. As long as you participate, I can guarantee that past issues will be forgiven!

Upon hearing the words "forgive and forget," both of them fell silent, unsure how to interpret them.

After some thought, everyone was considering how to make changes next.

"It's easy to say 'let bygones be bygones,' but our families are already torn apart. In comparison, you're all intact. You make it sound so easy."

He couldn't let go of this hatred in his heart, and that's why he kept looking for a new protector.

He wanted to use someone else's methods to get rid of Lu Fan, playing a game of using someone else to do the dirty work. Moreover, he was hiding behind the scenes and might even be able to reap the benefits.

No matter how you look at it, this is a win-win situation!

Lu Fan naturally knew what he had been thinking all these years, but he just felt it was incredibly naive. If he were an ordinary person, he would have looked down on him long ago.

"Don't you know what kind of person you are? Or do you still not understand this matter even now?"

No matter how much they tease us, we're all from the same place, and besides, every place needs a leader.

After Lu Fan finished speaking, Dongfang Yue understood that Lu Fan's purpose in coming here was to make her submit to him.

He fell into deep thought. He was, after all, a former overlord, and now a junior was standing before him, demanding his submission.

He simply couldn't accept this idea from the bottom of his heart.

"Are you serious? This isn't as simple as it sounds. Besides, asking me to submit to you... don't you want to think about it more carefully?"

Dongfang Yue frowned slightly, still wanting to know what was really going on.

Dongfang Shuo, standing to the side, was even more dissatisfied.

"Mr. Lu, we respect you, but what do you mean by that? Doesn't it seem like you're looking down on us?"
