I am the Holy Poisoner, the Empress advised me to calm down

At this moment, Sheng Nanting's expression was uncertain, and no one knew what he was thinking. "I need time to think about it." After a brief silence, he finally answered. There was not much emotion in his voice, but it was enough to make the air stagnate again.

Just then, a few exclamations were heard from outside. It turned out that two female guests had accidentally knocked over an exquisite decorative plate on the table. The waiter hurried forward to help clean up and calm their nervous mood. This small incident temporarily diverted everyone's attention from the situation inside the private room.

However, the atmosphere in the room didn't become much more relaxed. Seeing her husband's expression change from anger to calm and then to contemplation, Zhang Xiumin couldn't help but feel a little hopeful, but she also knew that things were far from over as she had imagined.

Lu Yining sat there with her fists clenched, her heart full of struggle: on one side was the family that raised her and the father she loved deeply, and on the other side was the man who once gave her unlimited power but who always kept a veil between them... How should she choose?

At such an extremely awkward moment, an unexpected figure appeared again at the end of the corridor outside the door - a man in a black suit pushed open the door and walked straight in, followed by two strong men who were obviously responsible for protection.

"Sorry for being late." The man looked around the room and his eyes finally locked on Sheng Nanting. "I was just notified that you have a party today, so I hurried over to see if I can help." As he said that, he pulled over an empty chair next to him and sat down. His movements were casual but with an unquestionable aura.

The unexpected visitor immediately attracted everyone's attention. Lu Yining was surprised at first, then grateful; the other elders seemed quite confused and wary.

"Who are you? We don't know you." Xu Shengli asked first with a rather stern attitude.

The newcomer smiled slightly, but was in no hurry to introduce himself. "Oh, I forgot to introduce myself. I'm Qin Yifei. You could say I represent official interests in certain special circumstances. And what's special about today is that I want to talk about plans for the future development of the Lu Group."

With this resounding answer, the direction of the whole party became even more confusing...

Qin Yifei's arrival undoubtedly made the atmosphere at the scene even more tense. Xu Shengli frowned, clearly disliking this sudden incident. "We didn't invite you here. We don't need outsiders to meddle in Lu's affairs."

"You're free to say that, but don't forget I'm authorized to participate in this discussion," Qin Yifei replied calmly, his eyes still smiling. But the sharpness behind this politeness still made Xu Shengli involuntarily take a step back.

Sheng Nanting remained silent, sitting upright, as if nothing that happened in the room had anything to do with him. "Mr. Qin," Xu Muze took over, "I wonder what you think of our Lu family's business plans? Perhaps you could share some specific suggestions?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the other elders also turned their eyes to Qin Yifei. After all, they were now facing a dilemma - should they continue to stick to the original pattern or try new possibilities?

Facing the crowd's gaze, Qin Yifei calmly said, "Simply put, in my opinion, your company's main problem right now is that the decision-making level is too old. Young people possess more advanced management concepts and technical application capabilities. If you can introduce some fresh blood, I believe it will greatly benefit the company's development."

After saying this, he added, "Of course, the final decision depends on Mr. Nan Ting's opinion."

At this moment, Lu Yining, who had been sitting on the side in silence, finally couldn't help but speak: "But... can doing this really guarantee my father's interests?" Her eyes were full of worry and confusion.

Qin Yifei glanced at her and replied calmly, "Please believe we will have a comprehensive plan for this. However, before that, we need the consent of everyone present, especially the parties involved."

After hearing this, Yining's already complicated emotions became even more tangled, making it almost impossible to breathe. Sheng Nanting's expression became even more unpredictable.

At this moment, a waiter standing at the door couldn't help but whisper to his companions: "Who do you think that mysterious person is? He seems quite powerful!"

"Who knows? He's definitely not an ordinary person! Just looking at his posture, you can tell that he has a very powerful background." The other party responded in a low voice, with curiosity and a little awe in his eyes.

At the same time, the atmosphere in the room reached an unprecedented level of tension. Just when everyone thought the matter was about to be settled, Zhang Xiumin suddenly slammed the table, then slowly stood up and looked around. "I think, no matter what choice we make, we should put the boss's opinion first. And now that we have more options to consider, there's no need to rush into a decision."

Although her words appeared to support a moratorium on action, they actually set the stage for subsequent changes.

Hearing this, Sheng Nanting finally stood up and looked at everyone with determination in his eyes. "Thank you very much for the suggestions and ideas everyone has put forward today. As for my personal opinion..." He paused deliberately, causing everyone's heartbeat to accelerate. "I am willing to accept the challenge, and I hope to lead Lu Corporation to a more glorious path through my own efforts! But this does not mean that I completely reject the value of the previous management model."

At this point, his eyes softened. Turning to Zhang Xiumin, who was deep in thought, he continued, "So, I'd like to start by understanding the current state of operations. As for the final changes, I'll make a decision once I have a comprehensive understanding of the information. In the meantime, I'd appreciate your guidance."

As soon as the words were spoken, there was an immediate exclamation, and both supporters and opponents were shocked by his boldness.

While everyone was discussing this, a waiter in the corner whispered again, "Oh my god, this is amazing! If he's real, then wouldn't the Lu family be very likely to become even stronger in the future?"

Another waiter shook his head enviously and sighed, "That's right! How great it would be if I could be like Manager Sheng..."

At the same time, Xu Shengli was the first to regain his composure and forced a smile: "Okay, Nan Ting, this decision is not easy for you, but we respect your opinion. But remember, if you encounter difficulties or too much pressure in the future, you must tell us in time."
