Chapter 105 A calculated scheme, aiming at the Northwest
Upon hearing this, Lu Jingyan frowned deeply and blurted out the answer without thinking.
"no."
“Su Yuting is on that farm. If you go there now, you're just walking into the line of fire.”
He knew very well that Su Yuting was no pushover.
The fact that she could transform from a pampered young lady into a "little witch doctor" in such a harsh and cold place already exudes a kind of sinister charm.
Bai Shu merely raised his eyelids; in his clear, peach-blossom eyes, there was no fear whatsoever, but rather a hint of smugness that seemed to see through everything.
She calmly took a document out of the drawer and slammed it on the table.
"Who said I went there to fight her?"
Lu Jingyan's gaze fell on the document, and he paused slightly.
It was a flawlessly forged overseas geological exploration report. Printed entirely in English, the paper was slightly yellowed and had an old smell. It was covered with a jumble of technical symbols and the logo of a completely fictitious "Global Mining Exploration Company".
"I, Bai Shu, Chairman of Tangdi Group, am responding to the national call to conduct business investigations in the Northwest in order to seek new profit growth points for the group."
Her tone was calm, and every word she uttered was reasonable and impeccable.
"How does Su Yuting manage to control the wind and rain on the farm? Is it because she's a little fortune teller? Can she predict the future?"
Bai Shu sneered, his laughter filled with deep contempt.
"She could predict whether it would rain tomorrow, and whether this year's harvest would be good or bad. These vague and unpredictable things made those employees who were afraid of poverty worship her like a goddess."
"But what I want to give them is real gold and silver."
Her finger emphasized the estimated value on the report.
“I want to invest in building a factory, I want to give them jobs, I want to pay them wages that far exceed the income from the farm, I want them to live in new houses, eat meat, and have their children go to school.”
"Tell me, when faced with a pie in the sky and a steamed bun that you can actually put in your pocket, which would they choose?"
"When Su Yuting's 'prophecy' blocks everyone's path to wealth, do you think those who elevated her to a pedestal will tear her to pieces with their own hands?"
Fight magic with magic?
No.
She wants to use capital to shatter the so-called "miracle".
Lu Jingyan fell silent. He looked at the woman before him, at her eyes that seemed to see through everything, and a storm raged within him.
What exactly is going on in this woman's head?
Every step she took was based on open strategy. What she wanted to do was not to carry out sneaky assassinations, but to use overwhelming power to crush them head-on!
By disrupting the entire farm's profit structure, Su Yuting was transformed from a high-ranking "god" back into an insignificant person.
A strategy to undermine the enemy's morale and destroy their spirit.
"Understood. I'll take the bodyguard job."
Lu Jingyan took a deep breath, all the worry in his eyes disappeared, replaced by appreciation and a hint of doting.
...
Meanwhile, in Shanghai.
When the building at No. 18 on the Bund was hung with the sign "Headquarters of Tangdi Group" at an incredible speed, everyone was dumbfounded.
Du Kangnian and Wang Kun still feel like they're dreaming when they hold that business license that's been granted all the green lights and covered in red stamps.
To celebrate the group's founding, Du Kangnian hosted a grand reception in the banquet hall of the Peace Hotel.
Every prominent figure in Shanghai received an invitation.
The air was filled with the fragrance of fine clothes and the rustling of hair; wine cups clinked and toasts were exchanged.
Everyone craned their necks, eager to catch a glimpse of the mysterious female boss.
"Old Li, you're well-informed. Just who is this Boss Bai? Did he really manage to take care of those government officials with just one phone call?"
A factory manager with a beer belly asked in a low voice.
"Who knows? I've only heard she's ridiculously young and unbelievably beautiful. But she hasn't even shown up at this event; she's like a dragon whose head is seen but not its tail!"
"Ha, I think he's just a white glove pushed into the spotlight, with some powerful figure from Beijing behind him."
"Whoever she is, we should all be more polite to her in Shanghai from now on. Look at that old fox Du Kangnian, he's like he's been injected with chicken blood, he's walking with a swagger."
The crowd buzzed with discussion, a mixture of speculation and awe filling the air.
But the mysterious Mr. Bai did not show up until the party ended.
...
Northwest, Beiwan Farm.
In an office, Su Yuting looked at the urgent secret letter in her hand, a cold smile appearing on her lips.
The secret letter clearly stated: Bai Zhu is heading to Beiwan Farm under the pretext of investment research.
"invest?"
Su Yuting laughed, her laughter so loud it made her tremble, and tears almost welled up in her eyes.
Su Wantang, you're so adorably stupid.
Do they really think that by bringing down Lu Wenbo and plundering the Su family, they can rest easy?
This is the Northwest! This is my territory!
In your past life, you died here in an accidental mudslide. In this life, I'm just making the accident happen sooner.
You choose to walk the path to heaven when there is one, but insist on barging into the gates of hell when there is none!
She held the letter up to the oil lamp and watched it turn to ashes.
The next day, the farm's loudspeaker began repeatedly broadcasting the farm leaders' speeches.
"Comrades, there have been rumors that a businessman from the south is going to invest in our farm. We must be vigilant about this!"
"Based on Comrade Xiaoting's reminder, these capitalists from the South are all black-hearted! They want to swindle our land and uproot us! They are sugar-coated bullets!"
"Comrade Xiaoting has already 'seen' it. If they come, our farm will face a major disaster within three months!"
The news caused an uproar throughout the entire farm.
Su Yuting's prestige on the farm was genuine. If she said it was going to rain, it would never be sunny. If she said this year's wheat harvest would be bountiful, the yield would definitely be high.
Now, their "little fortune teller" has spoken, saying that the investors are swindlers and will bring disaster.
For a time, the entire farm was filled with hostility and vigilance towards the upcoming "investors".
...
Woo-woo-woo
The green train whistled as it traveled across the vast Gobi Desert in Northwest China.
In a hard sleeper carriage with only 2 people.
Bai Zhu sat by the window, watching the desolate scenery rushing past outside, her face expressionless.
Lu Jingyan sat opposite her, his long legs having nowhere to go, so he could only spread them slightly apart, his knees almost touching Bai Shu's knees.
He took off his military uniform and wore a simple white shirt with the sleeves rolled up to his elbows, revealing his strong forearms. He stared at Bai Shu without blinking.
That gaze was burning, direct, and full of aggression.
Bai Shu felt a little uncomfortable under his gaze and frowned slightly: "What are you looking at?"
Lu Jingyan's lips curled into a smile, and he leaned forward, lowering his voice so that his warm breath almost touched her earlobe.
"Boss, I'm your bodyguard. It's my duty to observe you."
His voice was deep and magnetic, and he deliberately emphasized the word "bodyguard".
"For example, observe that the boss's skin is really white, observe that the boss's lips... are very moist."
"Lu Jingyan!"
Bai Zhu's ears instantly flushed crimson.
This man has become increasingly shameless ever since he saw through his true identity.
Lu Jingyan chuckled softly as he watched her furious and embarrassed expression.
He leaned back, shifting to a more comfortable position, his voice carrying a hint of lazy mischief.
"Boss, it's cold in the sleeper berth tonight, do you want me to... warm you up?"
Bai Shu: "..."
She decided that she would never speak another word to this man until she reached her destination!
