South City.
A high-end villa community
Villas stand tall in the lush green park, each with its own unique style.
There are Chinese-style courtyard houses as well as European-style castles.
The villas here can be said to be home to most of the wealthy people in the entire southern city, including Lu Fan.
Walking along the tree-lined path, with greenery everywhere, we arrived at a Chinese-style courtyard nestled against the mountain.
From the outside, it even has the grandeur of an ancient imperial palace!
Lu Fan mainly bought this villa for himself and his family to live in.
If my parents or Jiang Manyue come to Nancheng, the whole family can live comfortably in the villa.
Of course, there's also Lu Xi.
In the living room, Lu Fan was wearing loose pajamas and leaning back on the sofa.
Lu Xi sat to the side watching the boring Korean drama that Lu Fan found so dull.
For a straight man like Lu Fan, this kind of TV series is incredibly boring.
He couldn't understand why girls would like to watch this kind of thing.
Lu Xi, who was watching TV, seemed to notice something and turned to glance at Lu Fan.
I noticed he was scrutinizing me and the television with a look of utter disdain.
"Hey! Lu Fan, what's with that expression? Is the TV series I'm watching so cringeworthy?"
Lu Xi didn't hold back at all. Anyway, she had already received her salary, so her attitude changed that quickly.
“Yes,” Lu Fan answered without hesitation, then suddenly thought of something.
He continued, "Hey Lu Xi, now that you've got the money, you don't even call me 'brother' anymore, and you're acting like this. Who did you learn this from?"
"I've told you before, I've always looked up to you as my role model since I was a child. That's why I'm shameless and shameless now, I learned it all from you."
Lu Xi directly blamed everything on Lu Fan; anyone can shift the blame.
If you haven't learned this much after living with Lu Fan for so long, can you still call her your sister?
Lu Fan: "..."
They were instantly speechless.
When did I become like you? Did I?
Lu Fan thought about it carefully and finally came to his own conclusion: Yes!
No, I can't do this again. I'm setting a bad example for my younger sister.
She's going to be the female CEO of the Jiang Group someday.
Just as Lu Fan was pondering, Lu Xi continued, mercilessly asking, "Well? Reflecting on your crimes?"
"Am I wrong? Humph."
As she spoke, Lu Xi suddenly remembered something.
"By the way, do Mom, Dad, and sister-in-law know you're going back?"
Lu Fan crossed his legs and replied casually, "I don't know. I didn't tell them; I wanted to give them a surprise."
"So that's how it is." A mischievous smile crept across Lu Xi's lips.
"Okay, then I'll call my parents and sister-in-law in a bit and ruin your surprise."
Lu Xi made no attempt to hide anything and directly revealed her wicked intentions, leaving Lu Fan feeling helpless.
Is this girl getting a little cocky because she thinks she's about to become CEO?
How dare you openly threaten your brother!
If I don't teach you a lesson, you really won't know how much more rice I've eaten in the years I'm older than you.
Seeing Lu Fan's expression, Lu Xi raised her chin.
He challenged, "So? You're not convinced?"
After hearing this, Lu Fan thought about it carefully and finally came to a conclusion.
He really doesn't seem to have a way of dealing with this girl.
After all, he wanted to prepare the surprise himself, and now Lu Xi has essentially revealed his weakness.
Seeing that Lu Fan remained silent, Lu Xi became even more arrogant.
"Hmph, I'm not afraid of you anymore. You'll be leaving soon, and then the entire Jiang Group will be mine."
Lu Fan: "???"
I'm still here, aren't I?
Sister, is it really okay for you to say that?
However, there was nothing he could do; it seemed that Lu Fan had brought this upon himself, as he had already arranged for himself to step down from the limelight.
At that time, Lu Fan began to discuss with Lu Xi about letting her take up the post. At first, Lu Xi disagreed.
Because she felt that she had just graduated and did not yet have the ability to take over the company.
Lu Fan also went through a series of persuasion sessions, basically saying that the president position was just a figurehead.
You can come to the company every day to clock in, or you can skip it altogether.
There's nothing else to do, because the Jiang Group's work system has already been established.
It can still operate without him, but the president still has to make the decisions on important matters.
However, Lu Fan had already considered this point. If Lu Xi encounters something she can't decide, she can just call Lu Fan and tell him.
Finally, after much persuasion, Lu Fan managed to convince his sister to agree.
But now his own sister is using this to blackmail him. Doesn't this make him realize that he's only hurting himself?
"Alright, you." A mischievous smile crept across Lu Fan's lips.
"Although you will be the president of the Jiang Group in the future, don't forget that I am the real controlling shareholder of the company."
"I have the final say on everything in the company, big or small, including your salary."
"If you don't care about having your salary deducted, then you can continue to act recklessly and ignore me."
Lu Fan also unleashed his trump card directly, knowing his sister's weaknesses.
This girl is bad at everything, except for money.
After all, girls like to buy expensive bags or clothes, or cosmetics and the like.
These things all cost a lot of money.
Although Lu Fan is also very wealthy, he doesn't allow his sister to spend money recklessly; instead, he pays her a salary every month.
This helps her realize that the money was earned by herself, not given to her by her brother.
That's the most important thing.
"Brother, are you ever going to stop?"
Upon hearing this, Lu Xi immediately became displeased.
She pouted and said, "By then I'll be the president of the Jiang Group, why would I need someone else to pay my salary?"
"Aren't you afraid of being laughed at if this gets out? Bro, you have to think about our company too. We need to maintain our reputation as well."
"No need," Lu Fan replied decisively.
"I don't care about reputation; those are all superficial. I only value ability."
"The Jiang Group has come this far not because of its reputation, but because of the hard work and efforts of us."
These words left Lu Xi speechless.
That does seem to make sense.
Just as the two locked eyes, neither willing to back down.
Lu Fan's phone suddenly rang, and he picked up his phone to take a look.
It was actually his wife!
"Shh..."
Lu Fan quickly put his index finger to his lips, signaling Lu Xi not to speak.
Lu Xi immediately shut her mouth and leaned closer with a face full of curiosity.
Upon seeing the video notification that it was Jiang Manyue, she immediately nodded.
