After being abandoned by my parents, I became a top boss

Lu Nanfeng lowered his eyes and nodded, "I see. Do you have any other arrangements?"

"That's all for now."

Hearing this, Lu Nanfeng said "hmm", pushed open the office door, and walked in.

After Xiao Zhao reported today's schedule, he did not follow in, but turned around and returned to his workstation.

She didn't know whether Lu Nanfeng would keep the appointment, and it was not within her scope of responsibility. It was enough for her to just tell her about it.

If she didn't show up in the end and the Li family asked her the reason, she would just need to find an excuse to get away with it. If she did show up, then naturally none of these things would have happened.

At this time, in the office.

Lu Nanfeng held a pen in her hand, her eyes deep. It was actually not a special thing for Old Man Li of the Li family to invite her. After all, there would be one or two such invitations every year, and she had long been accustomed to it.

The reason why the Li family invited her was simply because of the relationship between her and Li Chen.

She was saved by Li Chen, who later died in battle. They felt that there was one less thing they cared about in the world, so they transferred all their concern and guilt for Li Chen to her, thinking that as long as they kept in touch, their concern would remain, and as long as they treated her better, they could make up for the harm they had done to Li Chen.

How ridiculous? It's just a trick to deceive yourself and others.

The big boy with broken eyes had already died in the battle on the land of the neighboring country. No matter what they did, he didn't know or feel it.

She could never understand why people were always like this, they had to wait until they lost something before they started to regret. Why couldn't they treat him a little better when he was still alive, even just a little better, it would be fine...

The fingertips holding the pen turned white and she snorted coldly. Isn’t it too late to regret it now?

What did you do earlier?

Invite her?

Lu Nanfeng sneered inwardly. What if he invited her? She was not Li Chen. She had no right to forgive them on his behalf, and she had no obligation to take care of their feelings.

She put down her pen and calmed down.

She could refuse the invitation to the Li family, but she had to discuss business with Zhu Lai. Although she didn't know what kind of business Zhu Lai wanted to discuss with her, and she didn't think there was any business that could be cooperated between Lu and Lang Yue, but since he took the initiative to come to her, how could she not meet him?

At 16:00 in the afternoon, Lu Nanfeng arrived at the coffee shop downstairs of the company as scheduled. Zhu Lai had not arrived yet, so she found a seat and sat down. The waiter skillfully brought her a cup of American coffee and said with a smile, "Boss Lu, are you...waiting for someone?"

"Ah."

“Do we need to order in advance?”

Lu Nanfeng glanced at her and then said, "Cappuccino, with ice. Wait until the people arrive."

"Okay, Mr. Lu."

About ten minutes later, Zhu Lai finally arrived. He sat on the chair opposite Lu Nanfeng and said in the unique accent of Country M, "Sorry, I'm late."

He said sorry, but there was no trace of guilt on his face.

Lu Nanfeng's lips curved slightly, and he smiled faintly, "Mr. Zhu Lai asked me to discuss business, but he was late. Now I am more and more curious about what this business that Mr. Zhu Lai wanted to discuss with me is about?"

When Zhu Lai heard Lu Nanfeng mention the word "business", he seemed very excited and couldn't hide the smile on his face. I'm afraid that no one would associate him with the founder of Langyue Group.

"It is said that Mr. Zhu Lai hates talking about money the most, and always thinks money is vulgar. But I didn't expect that Mr. Zhu Lai's eyes would light up when he talked about business. It seems that the rumors are not credible."

Zhu Lai waved his hand and said, "That's different. You don't know that what I want to discuss with you today is a special business."

Lu Nanfeng became interested. He pinched the handle of the coffee spoon with his fingers and said slowly, "Mr. Zhu Lai, please tell me, what is this special business?"

Just as Zhu Lai was about to open his mouth, the waiter came up with a tray, placed the coffee in front of him, and said respectfully, "Sir, please enjoy your meal."

Then he retreated.

After Zhu Lai was surprised, his face darkened. "China is indeed a country of etiquette, but the taste of this coffee may not be what I like."

Lu Nanfeng naturally understood the meaning of his words. He was blaming her for acting on her own and making a decision for him without consulting him. She said that the country is a country of etiquette, but the underlying meaning was that she had no manners at all and had no respect for him as the founder of Langyue Group.

But she could also understand that Zhu Lai himself was a weirdo. Take the Langyue Group that he had worked so hard to create, for example. He built it from scratch and finally made the cake bigger. When it was time to reap the glory and fame, he retreated behind the scenes and became a designer again.

This person has a strong subjective consciousness and doesn't like others to make decisions for him, so this can explain why his face turned bad when she ordered coffee for him.

However, she did this for her own reasons. She smiled, not affected by Zhu Lai at all, and said calmly, "Whether you like it or not, you have to try it to know."

Hearing this, Zhu Lai became even angrier and said directly: "No need to taste it. I asked you to come here today just to discuss business. Let's get straight to the point!"

Lu Nanfeng looked at him without saying anything. Zhu Lai said again: "You are not a real member of the Lu family."

His words were affirmative. Lu Nanfeng paused in gripping the handle, but there was no surprise in his eyes.

Zhu Lai couldn't help but feel a little more surprised. He had imagined countless times the panic and disbelief that Lu Nanfeng would show when she heard these words, but he never thought that she would be so calm, so calm that it seemed as if the person he was talking about was not her.

Seeing that Zhu Lai didn't say anything, Lu Nanfeng said, "So, what does Mr. Zhu Lai want to express?"

Zhu Lai, whose thoughts were called back, restrained his emotions and continued, "Chinese people value blood ties the most, but Ms. Lu is not the biological daughter of the Lu family. So even if you are in a high position now, you are just working for the Lu family. After a hundred years, how many of the Lu family's companies and assets will fall into your hands?"

Lu Nanfeng was amused by this remark, "I never thought that the founder of the Langyue Group would like to meddle in other people's affairs so much."

Seeing that she didn't care, Zhu Lai sat up straight, "I know Mr. Lu doesn't value money, but are you really willing to work for the Lu family?"

"So, Mr. Zhu Lai said so much to sow discord between me and the Lu family?" She paused, raised her eyebrows slightly, "Let me guess... Could it be that the Langyue Group is eager to recruit talents and wants to recruit me?"

She looked up into his eyes, those bottomless eyes were filled with coldness.

Zhu Lai no longer had the casual and contemptuous attitude he had when he first arrived. He sat up straight and coughed lightly, "Mr. Lu, you are worrying too much. We at Langyue can't afford Mr. Lu."

"Still self-aware."

"You!" Zhu Lai was so angry that his face turned red and his neck became thick, but he didn't know what to say, so he could only glare at her.

He just praised her a few words, and she took advantage of him to climb up. Does she really take herself seriously?

She was just backed by the Lu family, what was there to be proud of? Moreover, she was not the biological daughter of the Lu family, so what right did she have to be proud of?

Seeing Zhu Lai's gloomy face, Lu Nanfeng stirred the coffee in the cup and said calmly: "Mr. Zhu Lai asked me to come here today. If it is just to talk about these boring things, then there is no need for me to stay."

As she spoke, she was about to stand up. Zhu Lai stared at the table and called out a name angrily, "Jiangnan Feng!"

Lu Nanfeng paused and looked back at him, only to see him raise his head and meet her eyes. "You were born in Lucheng, and your original name was Jiangnanfeng."

"You have a brother. Your Jiang family is considered to have some status in Lucheng. Unfortunately, the Jiang family has old-fashioned ideas and favors boys over girls. When you were five years old, you and your brother were kidnapped by kidnappers. Your parents and grandfather chose your brother and abandoned you."

Every word was heart-wrenching. Lu Nanfeng only felt a dull pain in her heart. This was a scar that had existed for a long time, but today, Zhu Lai revealed it without reservation, revealing its ugly and unbearable side.

Her eyes fell on Zhu Lai, and her tone became colder, "Do you think these words can pose a threat to me?"

She paused for about three seconds and snorted coldly, "If that's the case, then Mr. Zhu Lai is indeed quite naive."
