On the way to becoming the strongest, I first became a popular person.

Dongfang Qunyu heard this and a hint of approval flashed in her eyes. What she hated most were those people who couldn't figure things out. They helped him and thought they owed him something, and they didn't know how to behave.

She sneered, her sharp eyes pierced Luo Yanchi, and said bluntly: "In my opinion, the resource star that the Luo family recently discovered in the Baiyue Star System is not bad."

Luo Yanchi's body shook violently. The family had clearly blocked the news about this matter. How could this happen?

A huge source stone vein was discovered on that resource star, and its value is dozens of times higher than that of an ordinary resource star.

The importance of source energy in the federation is unquestionable. In order to prevent other families and forces from spying, the Luo family immediately blocked all information and strictly prohibited leaks.

How did the Dongfang family know this? It seems like it's time to clean up the family.

"Senior, I personally cannot make a decision on this matter." Luo Yanchi had a headache. This was beyond the scope of his ability to make decisions. The resource star was too important and involved many future projects of the family. He was only the heir, not the head of the family, so he could not make this decision.

The other party's attitude was so firm that he would not easily agree to change other compensations. He had no choice but to say, "Please wait until I ask my mother and then give you an answer."

Dongfang Qunyu glanced at him and acquiesced.

Luo Yanchi sent a message to his mother who was in the Baiyue Star System, briefly explaining everything that had happened and informing her of the other party's requirements and attitude.

Not long after, the other party replied to his message.

【Mother: Promise her. In addition to the Ikos star, the other 14 resource stars belonging to the Luo family will be given to her.

Also, please tell Senior Dongfang that the Luo family is deeply sorry for this matter. On behalf of the Luo family, I would like to express my sincerest apologies to the Dongfang family. Those apologies are my sincerity, and I hope the Dongfang family can accept them and resolve the rift. 】

Luo Yanchi felt a little confused. His mother agreed too quickly, which was not like her character.

Although those fourteen resource stars are not as valuable as the resource stars with source stone mines, they are also a huge fortune, comparable to the wealth of some ordinary first-class families.

But since his mother had made the decision, he only needed to execute it. He remained calm and conveyed his mother's words to the other party verbatim.

Dongfang Qunyu sneered in his heart, that little girl is really cunning.

"Resolve the rift" probably refers not only to this incident, but also to the incident thirty years ago when the Luo family intervened and forced her to hand over the core technology.

I thought I could take this opportunity to resolve the hidden dangers of that year in one fell swoop, but there is no such good thing.

"Alright, I won't argue with you anymore. Someone will come to take over the task later. Complete the formalities today and transfer the fifteen resource stars to Xiao Shi's name. This matter ends here."

Dongfang Qunyu waved his hand casually and left with Shi Chu.

……

On the other side, in the Baiyue Galaxy, the Dongfang family’s territory on the Gulan Star.

The antique reception hall is full of oriental features, with carved beams and pillars, elegant screens, and simple porcelain ornaments, which all demonstrate the extraordinary status of the host family.

After sending the message, Luo Yingshuang turned her eyes to the person sitting in the main seat and drinking tea leisurely.

In the past few days, she and the family delegation had discussed the matter with the Dongfang family several times, but the other party had been reluctant to agree, so she made an appointment with the head of the Dongfang family to meet privately today, hoping to finalize the cooperation.

Just now, she received a message from her eldest son. It was the aftermath of the incident with her youngest son a week ago. She didn't expect that behind an ordinary beta girl stood the most respected senior in the Federation.

It's unbelievable.

She couldn't help but look at the Dongfang family's new Patriarch.

The person sitting on the main seat was wearing a simple and exquisite plain cheongsam, and her long black hair was simply tied into a bun with a wooden hairpin. She had a face with a very oriental classical charm, her eyebrows were like distant ink, and the slightly upward curve was like a crescent moon.

At this moment, she was sitting upright on a quaint wooden chair with a set of exquisite tea sets placed in front of her. Steam was rising from the teacup, and a faint tea fragrance filled the air.

Seeing someone looking at her, Dongfang Su gracefully put down the teacup and looked at the visitor.

"Master Luo is looking at me like this. Is there something wrong?" The gentle tone was like the spring breeze, softly and gently brushing past my ears.

Luo Yingshuang restrained her expression. Although the new head of the family looked gentle, judging from the negotiation between the two just now, he should not be underestimated.

"What do you think of my proposal, Patriarch Dongfang? If this cooperative project is successful, the strength of both our families will be taken to a higher level."

"I think Patriarch Luo's proposal is indeed good." Dongfang Su said slowly, and suddenly changed the subject, "However, the Dongfang family wants 40% of the profits."

"This is impossible." Luo Yingshuang frowned. Thirty percent of the profit was already the biggest concession made by the Luo family. A large amount of manpower and material resources in the early stage were invested by the Luo family alone, and the Dongfang family only needed to provide technology.

That technology, while important, isn't worth the price.

"35%. If Patriarch Luo is unwilling, then please find someone else."

Dongfang Su picked up the teacup and blew gently, then took a sip of tea and added, "Grandmother said that if we want the Dongfang family to 'resolve the rift', that little bit of food is not enough."

"One matter is one thing, and the matter with the Dongfang family is another."

Luo Yingshuang was silent for a long time, and finally she gritted her teeth and agreed: "Okay."

"Then let's have a happy cooperation." Dongfang Su raised her hand and put down the teacup, revealing a gentle smile.

In fact, what her grandmother asked her at the beginning was to ask for an extra 50% of the profit. But if she had not asked for an extra 10% at the beginning, the head of the family would not have agreed so easily.

Like her grandmother, she doesn't like to waste time arguing with others. Why complicate things when you can make them simple?

The two further discussed the detailed terms of the contract and signed the cooperation agreement after confirming that they were correct.

Just then, a prompt sound came from Luo Yingshuang's computer, and she opened it to take a look.

It turned out to be the transfer agreement for the fifteen resource stars in her name. She quickly flipped to the end and was about to enter the password to agree, but suddenly found that the recipient was an unfamiliar name.

After a little thought, she realized that it was the beta girl.

However, these fifteen resource stars are an important fortune even for the Luo family, but the Dongfang family actually handed them over to someone else.

It was understandable that she stood up for the other party, but she actually gave up all the benefits she had fought for. You have to know that the reason why she gave so much compensation was entirely because of the Dongfang family.

What is the identity of that beta girl? The Dongfang family would never treat an outsider like this.

After a moment's thought, she signed the transfer agreement and looked up at Dongfang Su sitting on the main seat.

"What is the relationship between that beta girl and the Dongfang family?"

Dongfang Su smiled slightly, and gently stroked the rim of the teacup with her fingers: "Master Luo may know soon."

She paused and said slowly: "Since we are all partners, I can tell you."

"Her enemies are the enemies of the Dongfang family."
