Chapter 47: Severing the Network of Connections:
In novels, the protagonist was often referred to as the 'Child of Destiny.'
Especially those underdog protagonists.
Besides having many skills and countless opportunities, they also have an inexplicable network of connections. This network was extensive, including high-ranking officials and common people with exceptional talents.
For example, Wang Ping and Cheng Anjun.
...
Having resolved some immediate concerns, Lu Yu quickly began laying out a plan to sever Chen Bansheng's network of connections completely.
On the other side, Sun Xiuping and his group were also discussing their countermeasures.
After leaving the hotel, they found another place to eat and then called several cars to send the women back home.
Finally, they gathered at a bathhouse owned by Sun Xiuping's family. The three men reconvened, lying on massage beds with three girls walking on their backs.
Chen Bansheng, eyes closed, was still haunted by Lu Yu's words from earlier.
Was Bai Qingzhi begging Lu Yu to marry her just an act to sow discord? Could it really be that simple?
Chen Bansheng thought there was more to it than that.
Sun Xiuping, replaying the scene at the hotel in his mind, grew angrier by the minute. "No way! I must get revenge!"
Lu Yu had always been a joke among the second-generation rich kids.
Seeing Bai Qingzhi with Chen Bansheng made them look down on Lu Yu even more. The girl he had been pursuing was now with someone else? It was humiliating.
But just earlier, this so-called joke single-handedly subdued the three of them. It made no sense.
"Revenge is a must, but how do we go about it?" Yuan Zhiwen sighed as a girl massaged his back. "We can't just have him beaten up. His bodyguards aren't pushovers."
"Even if we attack him when his bodyguards aren't around, he'd know it was us."
Being a bit older, Yuan Zhiwen was less impulsive and more thorough in his thinking.
Sun Xiuping, however, scoffed. "Fighting? That's low-level behavior. We need something more refined."
"Do you have a better idea?" Yuan Zhiwen asked.
"Of course!" Sun Xiuping smirked and looked at Chen Bansheng. "Brother Chen, can't you use your skills in divination and feng shui to make that guy perpetually unlucky?"
Chen Bansheng snapped back to reality. After a moment of thought, he shook his head.
"No!"
"What? No?"
"Can't you at least make him unlucky for a while?"
Chen Bansheng shook his head again. "Actually, I've already altered the Lu family's feng shui. Normally, their luck should collapse soon, possibly leading to bankruptcy or even ruin."
"But today, when that kid claimed to own the Mingyue Hotel, I got curious."
"How could someone from a doomed family suddenly come into such wealth? So I checked his face again."
"And?"
"I can't see through him!" Chen Bansheng's expression grew serious. "It's eerie. I've only felt this way around my master."
"No... way?"
"That serious?"
Chen Bansheng was puzzled too. "I can't believe it either, but it's the truth. Or maybe... I just didn't see it clearly."
Chen Bansheng was doubtful but didn't think too much about it.
After all, Lu Yu was only 23 years old.
Who would believe a 23-year-old rich kid could be a feng shui master?
...
The next morning, Lu Yu, feeling refreshed, said a brief farewell to Qin Sisi.
Despite her reluctance, she obediently got into the car heading back to her family villa.
After seeing her off, Lu Yu returned to his villa and called the company manager.
Ten minutes later, Cheng Anjun, a security guard at one of Lida Group's branch offices in Rongcheng, received surprising news.
The Lida Group had a main office and several branch offices in Rongcheng. Cheng Anjun was a regular guard at one of these branches.
On this day, he was called to the general manager's office just a minute into his shift. The usually aloof manager greeted him with a nod and handed him a gift bag containing 100,000 yuan.
"Manager... what does this mean?" Cheng Anjun asked, bewildered.
"Xiao Cheng, I've wronged you before. Please don't hold it against me."
Cheng Anjun: "..."
The manager explained that Cheng Anjun was being transferred to the company's main office and promoted to vice-captain of the security team. The 100,000 yuan was an advance on his salary, provided by Young Master Lu, knowing he had financial difficulties.
Overwhelmed, Cheng Anjun was moved to tears.
"Thank you, Manager. I'll work hard!"
"Don't thank me. Thank Young Master Lu."
"Young Master Lu..." Cheng Anjun's eyes filled with determination. "Yes, I understand. Thank you, Manager."
Though he didn't understand why Young Master Lu promoted him, he was deeply grateful and committed to repaying the favor.
