I'm not a drama god

Chen Ling pushed the door open and saw a gray-haired figure sitting on the armchair in the middle of the room, holding a cup of hot tea in his hand. His eyes pierced through the hot air and looked at the child at the door whom he had loved since childhood.

"Pu Jianyue, pay your respects to your father." Chen Ling imitated Pu Jianyue's expressions and movements vividly and saluted Pu Laoliu.

Pu Laoliu carefully looked at Chen Ling and found that after returning from his training, his temperament was indeed much calmer, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face:

"Not bad... I heard that you completed your training mission very well this time."

“Just doing the best I can.”

Chen Ling answered modestly.

Chen Ling knew that Pu Jianyue's so-called completion of the mission was only accomplished by spending a large amount of money and using all kinds of dirty tricks behind the scenes. During the process, countless innocent people were affected, but he managed to suppress them. The real Pu Jianyue did not have that ability at all.

correct……

Now, Kasumi Tsuki should have transformed into the "Six of Hearts".

Chen Ling was somewhat curious about what kind of storm such a useless "Heart 6" would stir up in the South China Sea... Of course, in order to give this "Heart 6" a grand debut and attract attention for himself, Chen Ling had already prepared a "big gift" for him.

"You have been promoted to the fifth rank and have also completed the training mission assigned by the family. According to the family rules, it is time to allocate assets to you."

Pu Laoliu seemed to have been prepared for this. He took out three documents from under the table and had someone place them in front of Chen Ling.

"This time, I've given you three chances. You can choose one from them."

"The one on the far left is a foreign trade company. Its main business is the trade between the South Sea Realm and the Lingxu Realm. The categories involved are mainly vegetables, fresh produce, and some daily necessities. It is also the most valuable of the three industries... However, the outside world is turbulent now, and the foreign trade industry is also uncertain. You can make your own judgment whether you want to use it or not."

"In the middle are several office buildings. There is nothing much to do here. Just collect rent on time. Although the income is not as good as that of a foreign trade company, the advantage is that it is relatively stable."

"The one on the far right is a toy manufacturing factory. I don't recommend you take this."

"Why?" Chen Ling asked back.

"We just snatched this toy factory from a few rival families a few days ago. Although their wealth is not as good as our Pu family, they are also supported by several high-ranking gods and politicians. Therefore, they are not convinced of the ownership of the toy factory. As far as I know, they are secretly preparing to take back this factory...

Now almost all the workers in this factory have been laid off, leaving only a bunch of worthless machines and a brand. Plus, they come to cause trouble every few days, I'm afraid you won't be able to recruit people and open a factory in peace."

Chen Ling picked up the file bag on the far right without much hesitation.

“I choose the toy factory.”

"Oh?" Pu Laoliu seemed a little surprised, "Why?"

"Assets that can earn money stably are good assets. Since the other party is so unwilling to let go, it means that once this toy factory is established, the profit will be better than that of the foreign trade company... In this case, what's the point of taking a risk?"

Pu Laoliu was stunned for a moment, then the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and a hint of praise appeared in his eyes:

"As expected of my son, he is ambitious. That's good."

Making money was just an excuse Chen Ling used to deceive Pu Laoliu. The reason why he chose the toy factory was because the other two were not suitable for settling the fusion faction.

Foreign trade companies need to show up in public frequently and go out to other areas, and their operations are relatively transparent. Once people from the fusion faction get involved, they can be easily discovered; renting an office building is too simple, and there is no need to recruit hundreds of people... The only thing that can meet Chen Ling's needs is the toy factory.

The toy factory needed workers, had dormitories, and a relatively closed environment, which was perfect for accommodating the fusionists.

In fact, Chen Ling originally wanted to take an uninhabited island or something, but there were only two days left before the fusion faction arrived at the South China Sea territory, and he no longer had time to operate those. The most important thing at the moment was to take control of the toy factory first.

As for those trouble-making “rivals”…

Chen Ling has her own way to deal with it.

Since Chen Ling had made his choice, Pu Laoliu readily handed over all the corresponding contracts to him. From now on, this would be his "Pu Jianyue" private business, and even the government of the South China Sea would not be qualified to intervene in its management.

Chen Ling took the documents and walked straight out of the room. It was drizzling outside.

"Cousin, cousin!"

Pu Shu walked towards here holding an umbrella.

He saw the documents in Chen Ling's hand and said with a smile: "Cousin got the assets? What are they? Can I open my eyes first?"

“A toy factory with good potential.”

"That's great." A strange light flashed in Pu Shu's eyes, "If those things hadn't happened back then, I should have been able to..."

Chen Ling glanced at him out of the corner of her eye.

"Oh, forget it. Let's go, cousin. I have made all the arrangements to welcome you!" Pu Shu waved his hand.

Chen Ling had to play the role of Pu Jianyue well, and had promised him to "help" deal with Han Meng, so she naturally would not refuse. After putting away the documents, she followed Pu Shu out.

As soon as Chen Ling and Pu Shu went out, they got into the car and went directly to the most luxurious club in the South China Sea.

Pu Shu had indeed arranged everything.

As soon as he entered the door, a bunch of people who looked like Pu Shuyang's younger brothers all called him "Big Brother" in unison, giving Chen Ling enough face. Then, they entered the house surrounded by everyone. First, a bunch of ridiculously large seafood was served, and then the younger brothers took turns to toast...

In terms of etiquette, Pu Shu handled it quite well. He brought a group of younger brothers to accompany Chen Ling to drink alone, with all kinds of praise and sighs echoing in his ears. If it was really Pu Jianyue who was here, he would probably have been praised to the point of flying into the sky... It's a pity that the person sitting here now is Chen Ling.

On the surface, Chen Ling was playing the role of Pu Jianyue with a smile on her face, but she was sneering in her heart. It must be said that the Pu family was indeed wealthy and powerful. When Pu Shu appeared, there were so many people following him to fawn on him. It was no wonder that the high-level officials of the realm did not allow their people to participate in the alliance parliament. There were too many conflicts of interest involved behind them.

"Cousin, I have arranged a few good ones this time. They are all sixteen or seventeen years old. You can choose first!" Pu Shu drunkenly leaned close to Chen Ling's ear and chuckled.

Chen Ling glanced at him and was about to say something when a figure hurriedly pushed open the door of the banquet hall.

"What are you doing?! Can't you see I'm entertaining my cousin?!" Pu Shu was furious.

But the next moment, that person's words made almost everyone present freeze in place.

"The councillors... they are the councillors! The two councillors who came to the Pu family today all died tragically after they left!!"
