Chapter 108: Taking Advantage of a Crisis for Personal Gain
The next day.
Not long after Zi Yi got up, the bodyguard robot reported to her. There was a car parked outside the gates.
She took a tablet and checked the CCTV. She was surprised to see Lu Jingye’s housekeeper.
“Bring him inside.”
When Zi Yi came down the stairs, she saw the robot bringing in the housekeeper who was carrying a big meal box.
“Miss Zi, good morning.”
“Good morning.”
Zi Yi’s gaze landed on the meal box in his hands.
The housekeeper passed it to her and said, “Miss Zi, the Second Young Master has requested for me to deliver meals to you whenever you’re at home. Please refrain from ordering takeouts in the future.”
“…”
Zi Yi was silent for quite some time before she asked in a strange tone, “Lu Jingye asked you to deliver meals every day?”
“That’s right. Miss Zi can give me a call or send a message in advance if you have any cravings.” The housekeeper continued speaking, “I shall not bother Miss Zi any longer. There will be a bodyguard coming to collect the box and you can simply pass it to them.”
The housekeeper left after telling her everything.
Zi Yi glanced at the meal box placed on the table and walked over with a wooden expression.
In the following two to three days, Zi Yi did not leave the house.
Lu Jingye’s housekeeper would always deliver the meals daily when it was time.
Lu Jingye had not appeared during the past few days. If she had not known he was honestly busy, she would have been under the impression that he was deliberately avoiding her.
Since she had nothing to do, Zi Yi became active on the internet once again.
She had accepted several tasks related to hacking. After she fooled around with a group of hackers, where they were unable to track her down at all, she shifted her attention to the financial circle.
Coincidentally, she happened to see a big organization planning a big move.
“How courageous to have planned for such a big move.”
There was a foreign organization planning to trap a wolf barehanded, as it aimed for several medium-sized companies. It had launched a wave of stock market war and it was currently the peak of the fight. Zi Yi’s fingers rapidly tapped on the keyboard as she planned to take advantage of a crisis.
“This K Country’s new energy company seems pretty good. I can use it to develop what I want too. I’ll take it.”
Zi Yi was rather fond of taking advantage of a crisis for personal gain.
The International Financial Street.
Lu Group’s building.
The atmosphere in the conference room was extremely tense. All the management held their breaths as they stared at the computer screen before them.
The stock market war initiated by the UP organization followed the law of the jungle. No one knew how many big organizations had also participated in secret.
What those organizations wanted were those medium-sized companies.
However, what the Lu Group wanted was the biopharmaceutical company under the UP Group.
Moreover, they had already won.
Just then, Lu Jingye’s phone suddenly rang.
He connected the call and Mrs. Lu’s complaining voice could be heard. “Jingye, you’ve not come home for several days. Did you forget that you have a mother at home… As expected, a son is not reliable at all. Why is my life so miserable.”
Lu Jingye rubbed his temples and soften his voice. “Mother, I’ve been busy these past few days.”
“You are a human, not a money-making machine! If you don’t take care of your body right now, you will regret it when you marry a wife in the future!”
Lu Jingye remained silent.
Mrs. Lu was obviously helpless with him and said, “Mrs. Qin had personally come over today to send me an invite. It’s an invitation for us to attend dinner at their home tomorrow. Why don’t you take some time off and attend?”
Lu Jingye knew his mother’s good intentions of finding a girlfriend for him. In order to placate her, he said, “I’ll try.”
