The security guard was also surprised, not expecting that this person actually knew Zhang Fang.

What was even more shocking was that Dongfang Shuo was their new general manager. Seeing that Zhang Fang did not refute it, the security guard understood that it was probably true.

"Hey, young master, Lu Fan from the Jiang Group is here. He specifically wants to see you."

Looking at Lu Fan in front of him, Zhang Fang was also a little undecided.

Just a few days ago, they were their competitors, but today they've taken the initiative to visit them.

Having already learned that Dongfang Shuo was there, he quickly took out his phone and reported to Dongfang Shuo.

I wanted to see what Dongfang Shuo thought.

"I understand. Bring him to the conference room."

Upon hearing that the person at the door was Lu Fan, Dongfang Shuo smiled and gave instructions to Zhang Fang.

"Our general manager has already said that you can go in. Come on in."

Zhang Fang put down the phone and spoke to Lu Fan, who was standing opposite him.

"Young man, am I right about everything?"

Zhang Fang walked inside first, and Lu Fan smiled and said something to the security guard at the entrance as he passed by.

Without waiting for the security guard's reply, they quickly followed.

"Your company is great! Looks like you're quite talented. How about coming to work for me? I'll offer you three times the salary. Interested?"

Lu Fan followed behind Zhang Fang, nodding as he passed the employee office area.

Indeed, it's better managed than my own company. Lu Fan knew in his heart that this must be the result of Zhang Fang's management. Then, he asked Zhang Fang's back.

"Hmph, do you think I can be bought off with money?"

Zhang Fang didn't even turn around, continuing to walk forward, letting out a disdainful snort, and asked Lu Fan a question in return.

"Haha, I know you don't care about money at all, but now that Dongfang Shuo is here, you shouldn't be the general manager of Dongfang Investment anymore, right? There's no point in you staying here. If you go to my place, I'll just set up an investment company for you, the same size as this one. What do you think?"

Hearing that Zhang Fang still refused to come, Lu Fan was fortunate to have been prepared.

Knowing what Zhang Fang cared about most, they then extended an enticing olive branch to him.

This time, Zhang Fang listened differently than before. He stood still and turned to look at Lu Fan.

"Looks like you have some ideas? If you have any other conditions, feel free to bring them up."

Seeing that Zhang Fang responded to what he said, but not hearing Zhang Fang agree, he thought Zhang Fang thought he hadn't given enough, so he said to Zhang Fang.

"I'm sorry, even though I'm no longer the general manager, I'm still a member of the Dongfang family. Please don't say anything more, Mr. Lu."

"Okay, if you change your mind later, you can come to me anytime. In my company, we never suppress truly capable people."

Lu Fan heard that Zhang Fang was getting a little angry, so he said one last thing and then shut his mouth.

"Our young master is inside."

Zhang Fang made room at the doorway and gestured for Lu Fan to enter.

Lu Fan patted Zhang Fang on the shoulder, opened the door, and went inside.

Standing alone at the door, Zhang Fang felt a mix of emotions.

Indeed, the generous terms offered by Lu Fan were very tempting, and completely irresistible.

"President Lu."

Dongfang Shuo was sitting in a chair looking at his phone. When he saw Lu Fan come in, he quickly put his phone down, walked up to Lu Fan, and shook Lu Fan's hand.

"You are truly a man of great talent, worthy of our respect! I never imagined you would be the heir of the Dongfang family."

Looking at the enthusiastic Dongfang Shuo, Lu Fan sized him up and down, then couldn't help but shake his head and say with a smile.

"Mr. Lu, you're too kind. You're my idol."

Dongfang Shuo was a little embarrassed, knowing that Lu Fan was referring to his hidden identity.

"Stop with the pleasantries. Did you deliberately let me win that day?"

The two sat down in the chairs. Lu Fan still had some doubts about the results of his analysis over the past two days, so he came to ask Dongfang Shuo about it.

"What do you mean by deliberately letting you off the hook? That project wasn't even in our company's plans. Our goal has always been to make it the last project. What benefit would I get from deliberately letting you off the hook? This company is our own business, all the profits are mine, why should I earn less?"

Dongfang Shuo hadn't expected Lu Fan to come for this reason, and he smiled as he spoke to him.

"Don't try to fool me. I've been in this investment field for a long time. Do you think your little tricks can escape my eyes?"

Hearing Dongfang Shuo's words, Lu Fan couldn't help but laugh and asked Dongfang Shuo in return.

"Yes, I did it on purpose. Since President Lu has analyzed it so much, can you figure out my purpose in doing this?"

Since Lu Fan had already seen through everything, Dongfang Shuo no longer concealed it and asked Lu Fan with a smile.

"Isn't this the position you want? You can make a big deal out of this bidding process, and Zhang Fang will lose his job. Oriental Investment is your family's business, and you just graduated. You can take advantage of this opportunity to become the new general manager of Oriental Investment. So, your purpose in staying by my sister's side before was also for this purpose."

When Lu Fan heard that Dongfang Shuo wanted to know his guess, he did not hide anything.

He told her what he had thought of before he came.

"Most of what you said is true. Actually, I really wanted to help Xixi at first, but I couldn't because of family reasons. When you go back, could you please apologize to her for me?"

Dongfang Shuo, who was still smiling, recalled the girl in the skirt with a somewhat irritable temper when Lu Fan mentioned Lu Xi. He then said to Lu Fan with some guilt.

"I don't care about this matter. You did it yourself, so you should explain it yourself."

After hearing Dongfang Shuo's words, Lu Fan angrily addressed Dongfang Shuo.

"Xixi, are you alright?"

Seeing that Lu Fan was already angry, Dongfang Shuo understood perfectly.

After all, he had made a mistake, and he still couldn't let go of Lu Xi. In the end, he couldn't help but ask Lu Fan.

"She's doing well now and has already started her own business. I've found her a new helper."

Hearing that Dongfang Shuo still hadn't forgotten his sister, the anger in his heart subsided considerably.

"What brings you here, Mr. Lu?"

Upon learning that Lu Xi had successfully started her own business without him, a knot in her heart was untied.

Then he asked Lu Fan.
