Female lead's Delusion of Starting Over

Chapter 128: The Revenge That Ended Before It Even BeganT/his chapter is updated by nov(ê(l)biin.co/m

For two consecutive days, Zhang Binghan and Xiao Lin hadn’t made any moves, which left Lu Li somewhat surprised. Could it be that they were warned by Li Zichuan, or did they realize that his background was not ordinary?

Li Zichuan hadn’t warned them but had assigned some people to protect Lu Li. The eldest young master of the Li family did have some clout, after all. Although Lu Li had expressed his intention to make an example out of those two families, Li Zichuan wouldn’t let them actually trouble Lu Li.

Since Lu Li had come to Magic City, it was natural for Li Zichuan to take responsibility for other issues.

Well! Li Zichuan didn’t realize that Yu Meng, who was with Lu Li, was the best security measure.

Lu Li had already handed the transfer order to Chen Xiaoyi, and she would help arrange everything. Not to mention, all the executives promoted by Lu Ya were transferred over by Lu Li. If it weren’t for the fact that killing too many people at once would attract attention, Lu Li would have preferred to eliminate them as well.

But these people were competent and, after being threatened by Lu Li and seeing Chen Jiao being made an example of, they became very obedient.

Don’t blame Lu Li for being ruthless. Getting involved in the internal strife of such major families and betting on the wrong side, one couldn’t expect to come out unscathed.

Making an example out of someone is always the most effective strategy.

The newly purchased company building was located in the busiest CBD area of Magic City. The skyscraper, spanning hundreds of floors, once belonged to a reputable enterprise. In a place like Magic City, where opportunities and crises coexist, with crises often outweighing opportunities, there are many who become overnight successes, and just as many who lose everything and leap from tall buildings.

By the way, Aunt Su had helped prepare this skyscraper, and Lu Li hadn’t spent a single penny, not even the transfer fee, which was also covered by Aunt Su.

In Aunt Su’s words, it was all money from that old man of the Li family, so why not spend it? It would only bother her to keep it, and since Lu Li worked so hard to earn money, he should learn to save.

Truthfully, it was touching, but also somewhat speechless.

But what could he do, unable to decline Aunt Su’s generous offer?

All in all, compared to the troubles in Hangzhou, after coming to Magic City, aside from a brief moment of annoyance right after getting off the plane, the rest of his time had been quite comfortable!

Looking around at the executives who had already arrived, Lu Li’s gaze was sharp, and everyone in the room felt a chill, perking up immediately.

They were the ones who had been threatened by Lu Li and had seen him make an example out of someone. Facing this domineering President Lu, they didn’t even dare to speak loudly.

“The documents have been distributed to you. The strategy against the Zhang and Xiao families is the Lu Corporation’s first move since arriving in Magic City. We must execute it flawlessly,” Lu Li commanded directly, since Chen Xiaoyi hadn’t arrived yet, he decided to take matters into his own hands.

In Magic City, the Zhang Corporation, a rising business in recent years, had made quite a name for itself, largely thanks to the chairman’s daughter, who had caught the eye of a young master from the Xiao Corporation.

The large orders from Xiao Corporation had catapulted them to new heights.

But now, the once triumphant Chairman Zhang was troubled.

“What’s going on? Why is our stock price soaring like this?”

While rising stock prices are good, such a surge was abnormal.

“Chairman, it seems someone is targeting our company’s market, maliciously inflating the stock price,” the financial advisor immediately responded, his face equally grim.

“Who is it?” Chairman Zhang’s face was extremely dark.

“Chairman, now’s not the time to focus on that. Please prepare the company’s liquid assets immediately. Regardless of who it is, a big move is coming. If we can’t stabilize the stock price, given the opponent’s investment, we might not be able to recover...”

Before he could finish, Chairman Zhang had already grasped the advisor’s implication.

Bankruptcy...

Just the thought made Chairman Zhang’s face turn exceedingly grim.

He believed he had wronged no one, so why would someone suddenly target Zhang Corporation’s stock?

“Go prepare. I need to make a call.” In this situation, he planned to involve Xiao Corporation as well, since the two families had a good relationship due to their children.

But before he could dial, a call from Xiao Corporation came first.

Chairman Zhang’s face brightened, thinking that Xiao Corporation had learned of his plight and was offering help. What a reliable in-law.

He answered the call.

“Old Zhang, do you have any liquid assets left, emergency...”

Chairman Zhang felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar!
