"I came here today for two reasons. First, I want to express my gratitude for your help. Second, I would like to discuss a collaboration with you."

After listening to Dongfang Shuo's words, Lu Fan didn't waste any words and went straight to the point.

"Cooperation? Mr. Lu, your company is doing very well now. Our two companies are also competitors. So what kind of cooperation do you want?"

Dongfang Shuo was quite surprised to hear that Lu Fan had come to seek cooperation with him.

Although deep down she wanted to cooperate with Lu Fan, her rational mind told her otherwise.

Lu Fan has always been cunning and unpredictable; he wonders if this is a trap he's set for himself.

“I know what you’re worried about. You yourself said that with my current strength, there’s no need for me to do anything else. I’m sure you’ll be very interested in the cooperation I’m talking to you about.”

Seeing Dongfang Shuo's cautious demeanor, Lu Fan smiled. It's true, he's become much more vigilant since becoming a manager after just a few days. Then he said to Dongfang Shuo.

Tell me about it.

After listening to Lu Fan's words, Dongfang Shuo felt that there was some truth to them, and he became interested in the conditions that Lu Fan wanted to mention.

She wanted to know what kind of cooperation Lu Fan wanted to discuss with her.

What do you want most right now?

Lu Fan didn't immediately reveal the cooperation he wanted to discuss. Instead, he calmly lit a cigarette and asked Dongfang Shuo.

"What do you want? As the heir of the Dongfang family, what do you think I lack? Everything in this company will be mine in the future."

After hearing Lu Fan's words, Dongfang Shuo thought of something, but he didn't say it out loud and asked Lu Fan in return.

"Hahaha, keep being stubborn. What you need most right now is power!"

After watching Dongfang Shuo think for a long time, Lu Fan realized that his investigation before coming was correct, and then he said what he wanted to say.

"Hmph, I don't understand what you're talking about. Everything will belong to me alone in the future, and I will be the only heir. You say I want power? What a ridiculous joke!"

Hearing Lu Fan mention her pain, and remembering the butler who had taken control of most of the Oriental Group, she stood up angrily and retorted to Lu Fan!

"Calm down, calm down!"

Looking at Dongfang Shuo roaring at him, Lu Fan did not expect the other party to react so strongly.

But secretly, he was also pleased. The more Dongfang Shuo acted this way, the more likely the cooperation was to be achieved.

Dongfang Shuo gradually calmed down, let out a long breath, and sat back down in his chair.

"I can help you regain control of the company. Would you be interested in working with me?"

Noticing that the time was ripe, Lu Fan extended an olive branch to Dongfang Shuo.

"Then tell me your terms, and how we'll cooperate?"

On the surface, Dongfang Shuo remained calm, but in reality, he was extremely excited. He became the manager of Dongfang Investment because he wanted to take control of the company and was also curious about the cooperation proposed by Lu Fan.

"Specifically, we'll help you... that's roughly the plan. If it succeeds, then the entire company will truly be in your own hands."

Lu Fan explained his pre-thought-out plan to Dongfang Shuo, keeping a close eye on Dongfang Shuo's expression.

Tell me your terms.

Dongfang Shuo was also very shocked after hearing Lu Fan's plan.

This is indeed a good plan, with at least a 70% chance of success in bringing down the housekeeper.

But knowing that Lu Fan wasn't one to get up early, he must have wanted something from her by making this plan. So she looked at Lu Fan, who was smiling at her, and asked.

"My conditions are very simple: I want to shut down your current Oriental Investment and make Jiang's Group the only listed investment company. As long as you agree to this condition, our cooperation will be pleasant."

Lu Fan understood that although Dongfang Shuo hadn't verbally agreed, he was already getting impatient, which was why he had sought out Yingzaoji to ask about his conditions.

"I need to think about this for a while. I'll give you an answer once I've made up my mind."

Hearing that Lu Fan's condition was that he should close down Oriental Investment.

Although compared to the entire group, Oriental Investment still plays a role and is the central hub of the group.

If the entire central hub is gone, who knows what kind of trouble will follow?

Dongfang Shuo still wanted to think about it some more, even though he really wanted to take back control of the company from the steward.

However, I still have some concerns. If Oriental Investment is dissolved, will it trigger a series of chain reactions?

"Okay, then I'll go back and wait for Manager Dongfang's message. Here's my business card. Call me when you've made up your mind, and please hurry, otherwise I'll choose someone else as my partner."

Seeing that Dongfang Shuo did not answer immediately, and wanted to think about it some more.

Lu Fan didn't ask Dongfang Shuo for an immediate answer, but time was tight, so Lu Fan reminded Dongfang Shuo before leaving.

"If you're not going to cooperate with me, then who are you going to turn to?"

Hearing Lu Fan's words, Dongfang Shuo asked Lu Fan warily.

"It's hard to say, but I will definitely talk to Mr. Qu. But it all depends on your attitude."

Lu Fan didn't hide anything and told Dongfang Shuo what he would do if things didn't work out with him.

"Okay, wait for my message."

Dongfang Shuo was caught in a dilemma, given Lu Fan's strength.

If you stand on the opposite side, you will have even less chance of winning.

However, he still didn't want to make a decision immediately and wanted to ask his father before making a decision, he said to Lu Fan in front of him. He could only try to calm Lu Fan down first.

"Okay, then I'll be going now."

Looking at Dongfang Shuo's expression, Lu Fan knew that his words must have had an effect. There was no point in staying any longer, so he said something and got up to leave.

"Zhang Fang, go and see President Lu off."

Seeing that Lu Fan was about to leave, Dongfang Shuo called out to Zhang Fang, who had been waiting at the door, and gave him instructions.

"Mr. Lu, let's go this way."

As soon as Zhang Fang opened the door, he saw Lu Fan walking out, so he quickly walked ahead to lead the way for Lu Fan.

"If this company were to disappear, what position would your manager, Manager Dongfang, assign you?"

As the two were walking out, Lu Fan suddenly walked up behind Zhang Fang and asked him a question.

"How could the company not exist? Even if it really doesn't exist, I will follow our young master's orders. Wherever he tells me to go, I will go."

Zhang Fang, who was walking ahead, did not stop, not knowing what Lu Fan meant.
