After Miss Lu became the only one to enjoy the limelight, her six brothers knelt down and begged for

Lu Ning looked up at Lu Liu: "I just want to stay away from you guys."

"No matter how far away you are, you are a member of the Lu family, and you will always be our sister."

Lu Ning's lips curled into a cold smile: "We've severed ties."

Lu Nanfeng felt terrible: "Ningning..."

Lu Nanfeng could only sigh, watching Lu Ning's retreating figure: "I almost forgot, Ningning is a top streamer on Douyin. Her fan base exploded during the summer vacation, and her livestream data was also excellent. I heard she even wants to join the national team for competitions!"

Lu Liu was a little down and regretted not talking to Lu Ning properly earlier.

"Second brother, it was my fault for not doing things right back then, which is why Lu Ning was heartbroken and joined Douxia Live."

He regrets it now.

After losing the finals, and with Lu Ning absent, his team was effectively defunct.

Without Lu Ning, the team couldn't even continue operating.

His so-called "face" seems ridiculous now.

Lu Liu said somewhat frustratedly, "Second brother, I finally understand what you meant. It's not that Lu Ning can't live without us, but that we can't live without her."

Lu Nanfeng shook his head; he regretted it now too.

-

After leaving the investment promotion conference, Lu Ning met Gu Zifeng outside.

She saw that Gu Zifeng was wearing a baseball cap and even a mask.

"Gu Zifeng, are you worried about being photographed by paparazzi?"

"No, cough cough cough I have a bit of a cold, and I'm worried about infecting you."

Gu Zifeng certainly didn't dare to tell Lu Ning the truth; he was indeed worried about being recognized.

Lu Ning glanced at him: "You said you have diarrhea, do you need to go to the hospital?"

"No need, I'll just take some medicine and I'll be fine. You're planning to go back to the house you bought, right?"

Lu Ning nodded, then suddenly asked, "By the way, when will Ji Chiqian come to Yunjing?"

"That's not necessarily true, Little Lemon. After spending this time together, we've gotten along quite well. Let me tell you something from the bottom of my heart."

Lu Ning pursed her lips, roughly guessing what Gu Zifeng was going to say.

"Little Lemon, you're still young. Going to university will allow you to enjoy the freedom of dating and you'll meet someone you like. When that time comes, you'll realize that your current thoughts are a bit naive."

Lu Ning was both amused and exasperated: "I understand, see you next time."

She got into the taxi somewhat disheveled, and Ji Chiqian's image involuntarily appeared in her mind.

Even Gu Zifeng can see now that she likes Ji Chiqian.

How embarrassing.

It seems she really needs to shift her focus and start a new life.

Lu Ning returned to the house she had bought, which was fully furnished and equipped with appliances; she only needed to bring her bags and move in.

The environment and security here are both very good.

Lu Ning started her live stream as usual, playing games. After the game ended, Lu Ning said, "Hello everyone, as you all know, I'm going back to school soon and will be quite busy. From now on, I'll be streaming on weekends, and I'll be online at irregular times during the week."

She still had many things to do, and she only started live streaming to make money.

Now that she's not short of money, her priority is naturally studying.

And then there's Gu Zifeng's side; the artificial intelligence research and development she's involved in also requires her full participation.

There's really not much time left for the live stream.

Before Lu Ning ended her live stream, she noticed that Ji Chiqian's profile picture was gray.

She felt a little disappointed; she really felt uncomfortable without Ji Chiqian by her side.

Indeed, habit is a terrible thing.

The next day, Lu Ning received a call from Gu Zifeng: "The company has set up a branch office for its artificial intelligence project. I'll send you the address later. You can go and familiarize yourself with it tomorrow. After this project goes public, we'll all share the profits!"

"Ok."

Lu Ning quickly washed up and changed her clothes, then took the project materials and went to the address Gu Zifeng had sent.

The commercial building is very impressive.

After Lu Ning entered the company, the person in charge warmly introduced her to the branch office staff: "This is Lu Ning, the developer of the artificial intelligence project. Although she is young, she is very capable. We will be working together from now on."

Lu Ning was still a little nervous.

After the introduction, the person in charge looked at her and said, "Lu Ning, don't leave after get off work tonight. Our company has a business dinner that requires your presence as a researcher!"

"Okay, I know."

After getting off work in the evening, Lu Ning went to a restaurant for dinner with her colleagues.

The person in charge instructed Lu Ning: "Today, Maple Leaf Company will be meeting with the investment department of the Ji Group. If they ask any professional questions later, please help answer them, Ms. Lu."

Lu Ning nodded; this wasn't a problem for her either.

Lu Ning followed her colleagues into the restaurant.

However, at the elevator entrance, he saw his elder brother Lu Dongyou and Qin Xiang.

The world can be really small sometimes.

Lu Ning pretended not to see them and didn't want to argue with the Lu family in front of her colleagues.

Lu Dongyou snorted coldly: "Now you don't even call people anymore?"

Qin Xiang spoke first: "Lu Ning, I heard you joined Maple Leaf Company and are competing with my second brother's company in the artificial intelligence market. I never thought you really betrayed the Lu family!"

This is really good news for her.

When the older brother found out about this, he was furious.

Lu Dongyou said coldly, "Xiangxiang, don't talk to people who are unimportant. She has nothing to do with our Lu family now. A company like Maple Leaf Company from a small place is nothing to be afraid of."

Lu Ning coldly replied, "Didn't the Lu family also come from a small place before?"

Lu Dongyou's face darkened instantly: "Lu Ning, you're becoming more and more lawless. Who gave you the right to talk to me like that?"

"Aren't we strangers? What's wrong with talking like that?"

"Try saying it again?"

Qin Xiang immediately stopped her: "Big brother, don't be angry. Sister Ningning is still sulking."

After she finished speaking, she looked at Lu Ning triumphantly and said, "Lu Ning, let me tell you the truth, my brother has made an appointment with the heir of the Ji Group today to discuss cooperation."

Lu Ning pursed her lips: "Until the very end, who knows who the Ji family will invest in!"

She will try to win this opportunity from the young master of the Ji family!

Lu Dongyou snorted coldly: "Lu Ning, you're too naive. Do you think this is a TV drama?"

Qin Xiang covered her mouth and laughed: "Lu Ning, don't be naive. Big Brother has always had a good relationship with the Ji Group. They've already established a good relationship. This meeting is just a formality."

After Qin Xiang came to Yunjing and witnessed the prosperity of the metropolis, she realized how backward her hometown was.

She would never go back to her hometown to repeat her studies; she was determined to stay in the big city and marry a rich second-generation heir.

The elevator door opens.

Qin Xiang, arm in arm with Lu Dongyou, stepped into the elevator, glancing triumphantly at Lu Ning outside: "You two should wait for the next elevator. After all, we're not in the same league!"

Lu Dongyou said with a stern face, "Lu Ning, I will make sure your company can't stay in Yunjing."

Last time, Lu Ning deliberately tampered with the group's firewall, causing him to suffer significant losses and almost becoming a laughing stock in the industry.

It's finally stabilized.

Lu Dongyou vowed to make Lu Ning suffer enough so that she would pitifully return to the Lu family and kneel down to beg for mercy.

When that time comes, his older brother will definitely teach Lu Ning a lesson!

Lu Dongyou's gaze was fixed on Lu Ning: "If you give up struggling now, I can spare you this time, since you're my sister."
