Be Careful, Scum Dad! Mommy Is Back!
Chapter 344 The Busy Trap

Chapter 344: Chapter 344 The Busy Trap

Several leading domestic enterprises experienced sudden significant changes in shareholders, causing a huge stir within the industry.

Everyone began speculating and seeking information, wondering if they had received some sort of cryptic insider notification in advance, causing an unusually high frequency of movement among industry insiders, and even the companies that were planning major moves have now halted.

Meanwhile, as Lu Xining reclaimed the Chu Family’s assets, she also took back the hidden dangers associated with them.

Just the deficits of Nanshan Aviation in recent years are already a massive hole that is difficult to fill.

Additionally, traditional industries like Honest Mining and Dragon Sea Home Furnishings are significantly reducing performance due to the impact of emerging industries.

The only one among these that’s actually seeing an upward trend is Lan Jingxu’s Lanfu Jewelry, as the recent rise in gold prices has lessened the impact somewhat.

Moreover, the current overall societal status is in a vicious cycle of demotions and pay cuts, leading people to gradually reduce consumption desires, but the jewelry industry taken over from the Chu Family by Lan Jingxu was initially targeted at the apex of the pyramid.

The harsher the societal conditions, the more the prices of jewelry soar.

When these products become the tool for flaunting the wealth of the elite families at the top of the pyramid, their value becomes even more significant.

Lu Xining, looking at the various financial reports handled by Lan Jingxu, had to admit one point - this man has a very shrewd business acumen.

Especially his collaboration with Li Anqi of Legendary Capital.

You sell, I make money; together creating a win-win situation.

Lately, she’s been unable to follow up on lab projects, as all her focus has been put on the newly reclaimed businesses.

Almost every project has some issues, more or less.

No wonder Zhao Chendong and the others suddenly agreed to let go, as it turns out there were such landmines buried here.

At night, just after Lu Xining finished inspecting the loopholes related to Nanshan Aviation Group, she pinched her brow and was getting ready to rest, when she heard a small rustling at the door of the lounge.

She turned her head to see a delicately beautiful face accompanied by a sweet smile, instantly scattering the worries from her brow.

"Mommy～"

Seeing her looking over, Lu Nuonuo pushed open the door of the lounge, wearing a soft light-yellow one-piece pajama, joyously leaping into her arms.

Lu Xining caught her in one swoop, embraced and kissed her, asking, "Why aren’t you sleeping?"

Little Dumpling had been nestled in the lounge asleep all afternoon, and by night, she had no sleepiness left, her eyes both black and bright.

She had just finished video calling with her two brothers, and seeing that mommy hadn’t come back to sleep, she couldn’t help coming out to look for her.

"Mommy, Nuonuo is not sleepy, Nuonuo will stay up with mommy to work late."

Seeing her daughter clench her little fists to massage her shoulders, and smelling the fragrance of her body wash mixed with the sweet odor from her freshly consumed milk formula, Lu Xining’s previously somewhat irritable mood also dissipated with her daughter’s smile.

"Mommy has finished with work, how about now we go back and accompany Nuonuo to sleep?"

She picked up Lu Nuonuo in her arms and walked towards the lounge, but before they reached the door, the phone on the desk started vibrating continuously.

Lu Xining did not go back, but continued holding her daughter to the bed, gently placed her on it and covered her with a blanket, gently patted her back, and asked softly, "Nuonuo goes to bed first, mommy will come and accompany you in a bit."

"Okay, mommy, Nuonuo will be good."

Lu Nuonuo pulled the blanket over her little face, leaving only her eyes peeking out at her.

Lu Xining kissed her daughter’s forehead and praised her with a smile, "Our Nuonuo is amazing. Lie in bed for a while, mommy will be back soon, and you can go to sleep if you feel sleepy."

But by the time Lu Xining had dealt with matters on her phone, Lu Nuonuo had already fallen asleep in the rest area.

One issue after another emerged, trapping all her energy.

Even depriving her of time to spend with her daughter.

Whether it was staying up late physically or being mentally strained, she realized that this situation couldn’t continue for long and she must change the current predicament.

A certain underground club in the dead of night.

Except for Fang Lingling, Zhao Yuanchen, Lan Jingxu, and the other five were all gathered in a private room.

This club was an asset under Cheng Cang’s name, with excellent confidentiality.

"She really thinks she can swallow up so many businesses in one go, really such a naïve calf not afraid of tigers."

Lan Jingxu smugly poured a glass of wine, his voice full of mockery at Lu Xining’s current predicament.

The person beside him was Li Anqi, who had recently completed a handsome finance project abroad. Hearing this, he also smirked, with more concerns than joy.

"Jingxu, don’t forget, those contract documents were signed in front of a legal team, all the documents are genuine. Though she looks overwhelmed now, if she really assimilates all these businesses successfully, there will be no place for you in this circle anymore."

"Do you think she is some kind of business legend?"

Lan Jingxu’s eyes filled with disdain, he continued softly, "Chu Zhan is Chu Zhan, Lu Xining is Lu Xining, no matter how capable Chu Zhan was, he is nothing but bones now, and the granddaughter from her father’s side of the family can’t inherit Chu Zhan’s capabilities."

The man pouring their drinks was tall, standing at 1.9 meters with a robust physique, but with exceedingly ordinary features that were forgettable.

When he heard the name Lu Xining, the man’s pouring hand paused briefly.

Before Li Anqi’s sharp gaze could scan over, he had already finished pouring the drinks and stood properly at the back, waiting to serve the clients.

Lan Jingxu drained the glass in one gulp, the fiery liquor burning its way down his throat, gradually soothing his emotions.

A cold smirk crossed his eyes, waiting for Lu Xining to mishandle her current affairs, eventually forcing her to seek their help, and he would surely humiliate her thoroughly!

Unfortunately, he would never see that day come.

In foreign countries, if the inheritor of a company lacks capability, they directly hire a professional elite team to handle daily operations.

Besides necessary decision-making inputs, she wouldn’t need to worry too much about the rest.

Li Anqi himself ran an investment banking company and although the assets he once prided on were taken back, his knowledge, strategies, and connections are irretrievable.

Soon, he came to know about something.

Following this, Lan Jingxu, who heard the news, sprang up from his seat!

"Damn it! Has this woman gone mad? Entrusting such a huge business to a bunch of strangers, is she not afraid of losing the Chu Family’s assets."

"She’d rather hire strangers than give it to us, and she even dares to claim she’s not greedy for money, when she is clearly insatiable!"

Lan Jingxu was extremely agitated, his gaze turned towards the most composed among the five, He Xianxiao, and asked, "Old He, what do you think?"
