Chapter 340: Chapter 340: The Arena of Fame and Profit

"Founder of Nanshan Aviation, Zhao Yuanchen."

"CEO of Legendary Capital, Li Anqi."

"President of Honest Mining, Zhang Chuxi."

"Director of Dragon Sea Home Furnishings Group, He Xianxiao."

"Head of Lanfu Jewelry, Lan Jingxu."

As Cheng Cang introduced them, the five men straightened their suits, and from their rigid spines and slightly raised chins, it was clear they were ready to receive Lu Xining’s adoration.

But all she did was glance briefly in their direction before turning her head to look at the woman who was staring at her, saying indifferently, "And you?"

Lu Xining’s almond-shaped eyes, which seemed to see through one’s heart, gazed at Fang Lingling’s eyes that smiled but did not.

The other party was startled for a moment, then suddenly curved her lips into a smile, "My name is Fang Lingling, the most gilded talent director in the country."

Compared to the titles of the other five men, the prefix associated with Fang Lingling’s name was too light.

If not for the connection with the Chu Family, she might not have even qualified to sit here with these five wealthy heavyweights.

But from the way Fang Lingling behaved after getting out of the car, she obviously didn’t care about the identities of the other five men.

Lu Xining swept a glance at Cheng Cang, who occupied the main seat on the living room sofa. In the past, she really misjudged him; she hadn’t expected a man who seemed like a street thug to sit on an equal footing with these people, and perhaps even one rank higher.

"She is Mr. Chu’s granddaughter, Lu Xining."

Having identified the leading wolf among them, she walked over to an armchair and sat down, speaking in a measured tone.

Lu Xining: "There’s no need to introduce each one by one, after all, there is no difference, is there?"

All eyes focused on Lu Xining’s face, as she fully embodied the persona of someone who considered others beneath her notice.

"They’re just dogs tied at the home’s gate, just that they broke free on the same day."

Her smiling eyes swept over the instantly displeased faces of the five men as she continued, "After they come running back, does the master really need to recognize each one?"

The man who first couldn’t bear the disdain in Lu Xining’s voice was the youngest of the five, Lan Jingxu.

"Your words are too unreasonable, please show some respect!"

Cheng Cang watched Lu Xining thoughtfully; today she was so different in personality from the past, it made him somewhat unclear about the intention behind her words.

With a bang!

A glass ornament next to the armchair precisely smashed to the floor beside Lan Jingxu’s feet.

The man stood up angrily, "You’re absolutely insane!"

Everyone’s gaze followed the end of his sentence and then fixed on her face.

They were waiting for her apologetic confession.

Yet, not only did Lu Xining lack any hint of an apology, she even looked at them as if it was a matter of course, with no trace of emotional fluctuation in her eyes.

Her illogical actions disrupted the home field atmosphere they had initially created.

The men began to speculate about her motives.

Fang Lingling, having struggled in the entertainment industry for so many years and being particularly keen on controlling emotions, observed Lu Xining’s true intentions, while the latter was also using her peripheral vision to monitor Fang Lingling’s reaction.

After introducing everyone’s identities initially, Cheng Cang remained silent.

But not having seen her for more than half a month, he was somewhat unable to understand Lu Xining again.

After a while, the eldest among them, Zhao Yuanchen, stood up and said, "Young lady, try not to be so hot-tempered or you might find it difficult to get married."

Hearing such paternalistic advice, a smirk appeared on Lu Xining’s lips as she couldn’t help but let out a light laugh.

She lifted her eyelids and coldly said, "Mr. Zhao, spare me those unpleasant paternal phrases. You’re just older but not my father. People who like to use their age to instruct the younger generation tend to shorten their own lives."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Yuanchen’s face showed no emotional fluctuations, but his body visibly tensed up due to her lack of respect for him.

A few others wanted to speak up for him, but Lu Xining didn’t give them the chance.

Before they could continue to drone on, Lu Xining’s presence suddenly intensified, her cold eyes made everyone swiftly realize that she wasn’t as weak as she appeared on the outside.

"Since all of you have made it to your current positions, you should understand what attitude one should have when seeking help from others."

"From the moment you got out of the car to entering the house, has anyone rang the doorbell to ask for permission? Or do you think that just because my door is open, you are entitled to walk in, or perhaps you’ve been in your positions for so long that you’ve forgotten who you are!"

With a few words, she reversed the roles of the two parties.

In front of these men who sought to leverage their status to manipulate the descendants of the Chu Family, Lu Xining’s presence was in no way lesser than theirs.

"And you."

Lu Xining set her steely gaze on Cheng Cang, speaking sharply, "Earlier, you kept saying that these people are the forces my grandfather left for me, but look at them—do they exhibit even a hint of the attitude a subordinate should have?"

In front of everyone, she didn’t leave any face for Cheng Cang.

She withdrew her gaze and stood up, continuing, "All aging with no brains—what great deeds can you do for my Chu Family?"

"Take advantage of the fact that I’m not completely angry yet, and go back where you came from. I really wonder if my grandfather was blind to have taken an interest in such things."

They did want to leave, but the invisible guillotine hanging over their heads was at a crucial moment.

Without the consent of the Chu family’s descendants, all of their achievements could be reclaimed by the organization.

Lu Xining had rightly guessed this point, which is why she dared to speak so brazenly.

In the world of wealth and fame, transitioning from luxury to frugality is too difficult.

After having tasted the flavor of holding wealth in their hands, high above the rest, who could let go?

According to the current situation Lu Xining understood, her grandfather should have left behind another force to oversee these people.

As for Zhao Yuanchen and the others, on one hand, they coveted the wealth in their hands, and on the other, they feared the oversight forces left by Chu Zhan, which is why they desperately needed to find the descendants of the Chu Family, trying to coax her to achieve their own goals.

"Miss...ah, Miss Lu, let’s talk things out nicely."

"Please have a seat, have a seat. It was our attitude that was poor before, we admit our mistake."

Zhang Chuxi, who had just wanted to call Lu Xining ’young lady,’ seemed to be the most amiable one among the group; his smile made it easy to let one’s guard down.

Lu Xining followed the cue he gave her and sat back down on the sofa, waiting for their next move.

The situation had reached this point.

Finally, Cheng Cang seemed to understand Lu Xining’s intention.

She had used rudeness to lower their guard, then threw the cup to make clear their problem of attitude when asking for help, and even the coffee cup smashed at his feet at the very beginning was a display of authority over them.

It was also a criticism of his inefficiency in handling the situation.

These old foxes had been quietly lured into the trap of the little white rabbit.

Now still thinking about how to cater to Lu Xining’s emotions, they suddenly forgot their original purpose of coming here.
