Female lead’s Delusion of Starting Over

Chapter 41 - Chen Xiaoyi's Rising Edge

Chapter 41: Chen Xiaoyi’s Rising Edge

The news spread rapidly, the speed of action was so swift that even Lu Li couldn’t find any faults. As he walked out of the Cao family’s courtyard, he was bombarded by an overwhelming barrage of news.

Chen Xiaoyi truly lived up to her reputation as a business genius in the original story who helped Ye Chen master the business world. Although she seemed a bit naive, this series of bombardments indeed made Lu Li admire her.

Let her continue. If anything goes wrong, he has the ability to remedy it in time.

A cold smile curled on his lips. Zhao Shaotian, Zhao Lu, the entire Zhao family were objects of his revenge. Not to mention, Zhao Shaotian, this little dog raised by Ye Chen, was all over Lu

Li on the road to humiliation in his previous life.

Zhao Lu, one of the female leads, according to the rules of wish-fulfillment stories, the protagonist’s friend’s sister must be one of the female leads.

This woman also didn’t spare Lu Li from humiliation.

Once Zhao Corporation falls, these two will be at Lu Li’s mercy.

A faint smile appeared on his lips, feeling unexpectedly happy. He got into his car and headed towards the company.

“Miss Chen, it’s not the best time yet. Zhao Corporation should continue to inflate their stock price. Selling now, we can’t maximize the benefits.”

Chen Xiaoyi, now just an ordinary employee at Lu Corporation without a formal title, but no one dared to underestimate her. In these days, who didn’t know that Miss Chen and General Manager Lu Li always shared a car?

Being an employee was just a temporary transition. Sooner or later, everyone would have to call Chen Xiaoyi ‘General Chen’.

Under such circumstances, naturally, no one dared to be rude to Chen Xiaoyi.

“I know, but our goal isn’t to make money, nor to maximize profits. It’s to completely bring down Zhao Corporation. With this objective in mind, then think about profits.” Chen Xiaoyi had already shown her talent, her beautiful face cold as frost.

“This is also Mr. Lu’s intention.”

Upon hearing this, everyone was startled, then quickly got back to work.

“All the stocks in our hands have been sold off, Zhao Corporation’s stock price has dropped again.”

Chen Xiaoyi nodded, continuing to direct methodically: “Don’t wait for the lowest point, buy back now, and wait for Zhao Corporation’s next move.”

“Yes.”

People looked at Chen Xiaoyi with almost an admiring gaze. Previously, they thought this woman was only in Lu Corporation because of her relationship with General Manager Lu Li,

feeling somewhat unwilling to be commanded by her. But Chen Xiaoyi’s manipulation of the stock market in these few minutes was truly breathtaking.

They had seen buying low and selling high for a quick profit, but this method of treating a stock like a renewable resource for continuous exploitation was a first for them. (Don’t take it seriously, it’s all made-up.)

“How’s the public opinion?”

“Progressing smoothly. Zhao Corporation’s issues were significant, but they had been suppressed before, causing many people’s grievances. Now that it’s been exposed, they have already gone to Zhao Corporation demanding an explanation, and the numbers are still increasing.”

Chen Xiaoyi silently nodded: “Keep a tight grip on it, inform me immediately if there’s any situation.”

Her commanding presence was displayed at this moment. Standing on her own stage for the first time, Chen Xiaoyi felt exceptionally at ease.

Lu Li had prepared the stage for her, even provided so much dirt on Zhao Corporation. If she disappointed him, she probably couldn’t face Lu Li.

She absolutely couldn’t disappoint Lu Li.

This was Chen Xiaoyi’s belief.

Lu Li, quietly listening outside for a while, nodded in satisfaction and left without disturbing.

Extraordinary ability indeed!

Should I say, worthy of a female lead?

“What, the stock price has dropped again, what the hell does Lu Li want!” Zhao Shaotian roared in anger. If he wanted to make Zhao Shaotian suffer, it’s already enough, right? He made so much money, all of it was covered by Zhao Shaotian using the company’s liquid funds!

Roaring in anger, he couldn’t help but flash a bit of fear in his eyes.

Those dirty deeds he thought were cleanly done, this time were all exposed. To say it had nothing to do with Lu Corporation and Lu Li, Zhao Shaotian firmly didn’t believe it.

I just wanted you to take over a useless wasteland. You didn’t take it, so I compensated with my company’s funds as an apology, why haven’t you stopped?

He underestimated Lu Li. Lu Li was never a waste. On the contrary, when he made a move, it was ten times more ruthless than that woman, Lu Ya.

The office door suddenly opened.

“Who is it, didn’t I say not to disturb me?”

“It’s me, your father.” A voice filled with authority and anger sounded.

“Dad!” Zhao Shaotian quickly turned his head, seeing his father, his aura immediately dropped.

“Look at the good things you’ve done.” Zhao Shaotian’s father glared at him.

“Dad, I didn’t expect Lu Li would actually…”

“You didn’t expect! So you let Zhao Corporation fall into this situation?”

“Dad, I…”

“Shut up.” An angry roar silenced Zhao Shaotian instantly. Whether it was to argue or anything else, he dared not say anymore.

“I just had a call with Lu Guofu. He said everything will be decided by Lu Li. What do you think that means?” As if knowing getting angry wouldn’t help the current situation, Zhao Shaotian’s father suddenly calmed down.

“What does it mean?”

“It means the Lu family, doesn’t take our Zhao Corporation seriously at all. What do you think you are, with a bit of cleverness, you can provoke the Lu Corporation?”

“Heh, big mistake, a huge mistake. Our Zhao Corporation has now become the chicken used by Lu Li to warn the monkeys.”

“Dad…”

Zhao Shaotian couldn’t help but shiver, fear evident in his eyes. He finally understood the severity.

“What have I done, why would I do something so irrational.” Zhao Shaotian covered his head, speaking in fear.

Ridiculously, he had mocked Lu Li at the Cao family’s birthday banquet.

“It was a plan I made when Lu Ya was still around, not against Lu Li!”

“Heh, do you think Lu Li needs your explanation? No matter when you offended him, you have offended Lu Li.”

“…Then what should we do?”

“What to do, let fate decide. See when Lu Li cools off. You don’t think Zhao Corporation really has the power to go head-to-head with Lu Corporation, right? Doing so would only make Zhao Corporation, make us, die even faster.” Zhao Shaotian’s father laughed bitterly.

“Are we just supposed to place our hopes on Lu Li’s mood?” Zhao Shaotian spoke unwillingly.

“What else do you think, what else can you do? All the dirt on Zhao Corporation is controlled by Lu Corporation. With such ability, do you have a way to resist?” Zhao Shaotian’s father sighed resignedly.
