"Well……"

Meng Chao was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but said, "It's not good to evaluate your father like this. Uncle Lu praised you like a flower in front of me, saying that you are his most beloved daughter."

!”

"He is also my most beloved father, but feelings are feelings and transactions are transactions. I can't let him sell me and count the money for me!"

Lu Siya leaned into Meng Chao's ear and explained the inside story to him, "You don't know, ever since he was seriously injured in a fierce battle with the monster mastermind, my grandfather returned to the Lu family and has been practicing in seclusion. His personal doctor and training assistant also all flashed

He refused to tell us the extent of his injuries and whether he could return to his peak condition.

"Now there are rumors in the Lu family, and many people think that the old man may not be able to survive. In fact, my grandfather has been fighting desperately for Dragon City for more than half a century. He has reached the stage where he is old and weak and has run out of fuel. He has long since

It was time to think about the successor, and the decisive battle with the monster mastermind was just the straw that broke the camel's back.

"Not only my grandfather, but also almost all the first-generation experts from the nine great cultivating families are facing the problem of power transfer due to their inability to achieve their goals.

"As a result, powerful people in the second generation like my father are inevitably ready to take action.

"If you want to take over the power of a cultivating family and a super enterprise from the first generation of the most powerful men in the past, you must not only gain the approval of your parents, but also convince your peers and juniors. This requires strength and performance.

.

"The so-called strength, of course, the most important thing is combat power, but this thing is not something that can be achieved if you want to break through, especially my father. He initially became a crystal expert and mining engineer, and later transitioned to corporate management and worked in the business world.

, how much time can you still have to concentrate on cultivation when you have so many things to do every day?

"He is so busy with worldly affairs, even if he has astronomical resources to support him, he is destined to never become a truly powerful person.

“As a result, many second-generation elites have set their sights on ‘foreign aid’.

"If my grandfather is really seriously injured and cannot recover, and decides to live out his life and hand over the power of the family, my father will indeed be the number one successor, but this does not mean that there will be no other challengers within the Lu family, let alone

This means that after he officially takes over the entire Lu family, he will be able to successfully deal with external competitors.

"So, in order to successfully ascend to and secure the supreme throne of the Lu family, my father is now doing everything possible to find foreign aid and expand his strength.

"To achieve his goal, he wants to use all my dozens of brothers and sisters for business marriage with a rising star like you, Meng Chao. How could he let them go?"

"I see……"

Meng Chao suddenly realized.

No wonder, Lu Fanghui was particularly enthusiastic tonight, acting like a gold medal salesman. Compared with his status as CEO of a super company, he was too positive.

"Also, once I win you over, it's not just as simple as adding an absolutely loyal and powerful foreign aid. This itself is a great achievement."

Lu Siya continued, "Many people in the industry know that the entire Dragon City has been in an uproar recently over whether to upgrade or abolish the "Enclosure Decree", and behind this temporary decree, there are two more powerful groups.

The power, for the future of Dragon City, has been repeatedly tug-of-war and friction.

"Meng Chao, your background, status, and attitude are obviously not in favor of the continued implementation of the Enclosure Act.

"In a sense, you have even become a flag in the hearts of the poor people. Your words and deeds will affect the choices of tens of millions of poor people in Dragon City, especially the best among them.

"At this juncture, if my father can win you over, it will be a big trouble solved for the 'Nine Greats' without any blood. Even my grandfather will appreciate my father's ability to do things."

"Sister Ya, after you analyze it like this, I understand everything."

Meng Chao said, "However, your analysis is too thorough. Isn't it a bit..."

Are your elbows turned outward?

"I have no choice, and I don't want to betray my father, but this 'grey fox' really underestimates you."

Lu Siya spread her hands and said helplessly, "Although you are confused and indifferent about many things, no one knows better than me that this is just your disguise, or that you feel it is not worth it.

Just use your brain and think seriously about things that others are eager for, such as "little things" such as glory and wealth.

"Once you encounter something that interests you or that you think is crucial, your intuition and analytical skills are simply more terrifying than a 'sensitive person' like me.

"So, even if I don't tell you honestly, it won't take long for you to figure out my father's motives and plans yourself.

"If you come up with this kind of thing by yourself, you will inevitably feel like you have been deceived and taken advantage of, and you will feel resentful towards my father and even me. We are gold medal partners, and I don't want to affect the relationship between us just because of such a trivial matter.

If you tell me everything about your friendship and business, maybe you won’t be so angry for my sake?”

"I wasn't angry to begin with."

Meng Chao thought for a while and said, "Uncle Lu said it so suddenly. I was not mentally prepared and had no time to get angry."

"That's good."

Lu Siya breathed a sigh of relief and continued, "In this matter, it is true that my father went too far. The friendship between you and me is entirely a matter between the two of us, even if we really want to use this friendship to exchange for greater

The beneficiaries of the benefits should also be us. After I benefit, I am willing to share part of the cake with my father. This is my filial piety, but if I don’t give it, he can’t cheat, let alone rob. Do you think this is true?

?”

Meng Chao frowned slightly and said, "Although it sounds strange, the truth seems to be correct."

"So, you can rest assured that if you don't want to, this matter will end here."

Lu Siya said, "Tomorrow morning, no, when I go down the mountain, I will go find my dad and make it clear to him, ensuring that he will not harass you again. He wants to ascend to the supreme throne of the Lu family and the Qingtian Group. This

Of course it’s not a bad thing, and we can also strongly support it, but the bottom line is that it cannot affect our cooperation and relationship, right?”

"Yeah...wait, it doesn't seem right."

Meng Chao keenly caught the implication of Lu Siya, narrowed his eyes, stared at Lu Siya and said, "Sister Ya, you just said, 'If I don't want to, I'll stop here', but this kind of thing should not be done by both parties.

Can I move forward only if I am willing? Is it okay as long as I am willing, without having to consider your feelings?"

"I?"

Lu Siya said calmly, "I have no problem!"

"Why?"

Meng Chao was shocked, crossed his arms subconsciously, and stammered, "Sister Ya, what is that? Although there are subtle differences in our origins, positions, and pursuits, I have always regarded you as my best friend..."

"Nonsense, of course we are friends, otherwise?"

Lu Siya raised her fingers and said, "Come here and listen to my explanation. I can't eat you."

Of course Meng Chao can't go there.

"You don't think I'm the kind of emotional, vulgar and stupid woman, do you?"

Lu Siya frowned and said, "If you really think so, it is the greatest insult to me.

"What's more, last time I acted emotionally, someone deliberately tricked me into the depths of the Raging Waves Mountains. They used my talent as a 'sensitive person' to find red jade veins and led me and the Huanyu Group's prospecting team to fight each other. In the end,

, and also teamed up with a female monster to kill me.

"Do you think, after all this, it's still possible for me to invest even a little bit of emotion in anyone?"

"It seems, it seems, indeed not."

Meng Chao said, "Then why did you..."

"Because although my father has his own purpose, the transaction itself is indeed not a big problem. On the contrary, it has a lot of benefits for you and me."

Lu Siya said, “Actually, I have been thinking about this matter seriously during this period, repeatedly weighing the pros and cons, and calculating the costs and benefits.

"I originally thought that when the rainy season in Kirigakure is over and our intensive training comes to an end, after returning to Dragon City, I would like to invite you to watch two movies and have a meal or something to prepare yourself mentally, and then we can slowly get together with you.

you say.

“I didn’t expect my dad to be so impatient and want to dominate this transaction.

"Then why don't we talk directly, let's unite as a front, and then go bargain with my dad, then we can take the initiative."

"Wait a minute, Sister Ya, maybe I drank too much Fierce Blood Dragon Scale Wine, why is my head so dizzy?"

Meng Chao said, "Speak slowly and let me take my time."

"Actually, it's really simple."

Lu Siya said nonchalantly, "A person like you, who started from scratch and has the final say in everything, cannot possibly understand the difficulties of being born in a wealthy family and enjoying the training resources and business opportunities provided by the family, but at the cost of having to become a member of the family.

Chess pieces, chariots, business marriages, etc. are all basic operations. Before I master the power to break with the Lu family, I cannot live as I please.

"As long as it can bring sufficient returns, I am not opposed to family marriage.

"The problem is, my situation is quite special.

“I don’t know which bastard was the first to call me the nickname ‘Queen Bee’. Anyway, now I’m known to everyone in the circle as a ‘strong, domineering and ambitious’ image.

"In business, this is not a bad thing.

"But the top third generation of the nine wealthy families, those elites who are equally strong, domineering, and ambitious, are not willing to choose such a marriage partner.

"And those who can tolerate my style are a bunch of weaklings with no ambitions. It's not that I don't like them, it's that I don't even bother to look at them.

"Besides, if I choose to marry within the nine wealthy families, it will inevitably become a 'buffer zone' between the two families, and I will be involved in various overt and covert vortexes of interests, and suffer from both sides.

"You know, I like to fight openly and covertly with others, but what I want is to fight with more powerful enemies on a broader stage, instead of wasting it on trivial matters like family affairs, mother-in-law, etc.

own talents and strengths.

"In a word, I, Lu Siya, hope that my life will be a magnificent struggle for hegemony. It doesn't matter whether I lose or win, but it should never be a boring palace fight. Meng Chao, can you understand?
