"What about the investment you gave me?"
Lu Xi understood Lu Fan's meaning: she and Dongfang Shuo could not have any other feelings for each other.
Feeling somewhat down, Lu Xi asked Lu Fan.
“I’ve already said it, you must have someone by your side who I approve of. I can’t trust you to give this money to you if there’s no one watching over you.”
Judging from Lu Xi's current depressed state, Lu Fan would never give the money to her.
"Fine, if you won't give it to me, it's just a capable assistant. I can find a better one in no time."
She already knew the outcome, but Lu Xi thought Lu Fan would be watching her and would give her the investment.
But Lu Fan's determination was unexpected.
"Chairman, I've bought you breakfast. That one."
Just as the two were talking, Secretary Ge brought two breakfasts into the office. As soon as she entered, she bumped into Lu Xi, who was about to leave. Not knowing what had happened, Secretary Ge blocked the doorway and looked at Lu Fan.
"I'm not refusing to give you the money, but I'll give you a phone number. This person will definitely help you."
Looking at his sister's condition, Lu Fan still felt a pang of pity.
Lu Xi couldn't always be under his wing, so after thinking for a moment, he wrote down an address and phone number on a piece of paper, looked up at Lu Xi, and said.
Upon hearing Lu Fan's words, Lu Xi turned back, picked up the note, and looked at Lu Fan with some disbelief.
I can't believe that Lu Fan, who cherishes talent so much, would give such a capable person to me.
"You silly girl, would I use my own money to cheat you?"
Seeing his sister looking at him with suspicion, Lu Fan felt a little helpless and asked her in return.
After hearing this explanation, Lu Xi felt it made sense and turned to leave.
"Wait, take that breakfast away. It's bad for your health if you don't eat breakfast."
Lu Fan stopped Lu Xi, who was about to leave, and pointed to the breakfast in Secretary Ge's hand.
Hearing Lu Fan's concern, Lu Xi, who was initially disheartened by Dongfang Shuo's departure, felt a surge of emotion.
Hearing her brother's concern, she felt a glimmer of sunshine in her heart, took the breakfast from Secretary Ge's hand, and left.
"Chairman, what's wrong with Miss Er?"
Seeing that Lu Xi was somewhat unhappy, Secretary Ge took the remaining breakfast and walked to Lu Fan's desk.
She glanced at the door and saw that he had already left, then asked Lu Fan with some confusion.
"Get me some information about the Dongfang family right now. Come up with a plan immediately on how we can stand on the opposite side of them and make them take us seriously!"
After Lu Fan saw his sister leave, his face turned serious.
Even if the opponent is too strong, you can't bully your sister, he then instructed Secretary Ge.
“Weren’t we supposed to be helping Shanggong Group secure projects recently? I’ve already learned that now only we and the Dongfang family’s subsidiary investment companies are left.”
Seeing Lu Fan's expression, Secretary Ge knew he was genuinely angry. She didn't know what conflict he had with the Dongfang family, and didn't want to provoke him now.
Then he thought about how to deal with them, and then remembered the information he had just learned, and reported it to Lu Fan.
"Okay, when will the bidding process begin?"
Hearing that they would finally be able to witness the strength of the Dongfang family, their fighting spirit was ignited.
Not only for his sister, but also to see what a giant crocodile really is.
"Let me check, it's at 7 PM tonight."
Secretary Ge picked up her phone, checked the time displayed on it, and answered Lu Fan.
"Okay, contact Shanggong Group in advance and ask their chairman, Liu Shang, to go as well. This time, I want to personally deal with them."
Lu Fan was still a little unsure, but he thought that if Liu Shang went with him, it would be a way to demonstrate his power.
Then he gave instructions to Secretary Ge.
"Okay, I'll inform the chairman. I still have some things I want to say."
Hearing that Lu Fan was going to personally take charge, Secretary Ge still had some thoughts in her mind.
However, seeing Lu Fan, she hesitated to speak, but not speaking was not in her nature. After hesitating for a while, she finally spoke to Lu Fan.
"You've been with me for so long, when have I ever stopped you from speaking..."
Lu Fan began searching for information about the Dongfang family online. Upon hearing Secretary Ge's words, Lu Fan smiled and replied.
"As you, Chairman, know, the Dongfang family is far stronger than us. If we actively provoke them, it may not be a good strategy for our development."
Upon hearing that Lu Fan had asked her to speak, Secretary Ge subtly pointed out the consequences of Lu Fan's rash and impulsive actions.
“You can go and handle it. If we want to develop, we need to break the oppression of this monopolistic family, otherwise we will always be like this.”
Lu Fan had no idea what Secretary Ge was saying. Knowing that Secretary Ge didn't understand his actions, Lu Fan explained his thoughts to her.
Lu Fan never cared about such small gains or losses; he wanted even greater success.
I understand; I was short-sighted.
Upon hearing Lu Fan's idea, Secretary Ge understood it.
"Okay, go and do it."
Seeing that Secretary Ge understood his actions, Lu Fan waved his hand and said, picking up the breakfast that Secretary Ge had given him. He ate his breakfast while looking at some information he had found on the computer.
Seeing how intently Lu Fan was watching, Secretary Ge quietly left the office and gently closed the door.
After leaving the Jiang Group, Lu Xi got into her car and took out the note that Lu Fan had just given her.
Looking at the address written on the note, I sat there hesitating for a few minutes.
To achieve his dream and reach the top of the pyramid sooner, he needed to get investment from Lu Fan.
Lu Xi, who understood the situation, drove towards the address written on the note.
"Master, the young master has been received, and we are now on our way back."
As they were driving back, the old butler glanced at Dongfang Shuo sitting next to him.
Then he took out his phone and reported to Dongfang Xingchen.
They also wanted to showcase their achievements so that Dongfang Xingchen wouldn't have to wait any longer.
“You’ve done a great job. You don’t need to come back yet. There’s a bidding process tonight, and it’s very important to us. I’m worried that the investment companies below might not handle it well. You should go there in person.”
Upon hearing that Dongfang Shuo had been brought back, Dongfang Xingchen smiled happily.
But remembering what the servants had just said, he felt a little uneasy and instructed the old steward.
"Don't worry, leave this to me. It's not the first time I've done this. But what about the young master?"
The old steward had no problem with Dongfang Xingchen's instructions.
But then he looked to the side and asked the person on the other end of the phone.
