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

Lu Ning watched this scene with a cold expression.

She said, "Mr. Lu Dongyou, did you hear that? I don't owe you anything. All that pocket money you gave me, all those things you bought, I gave to Qin Xiang. I didn't take a single thing."

“But I bought you an antique gold crown! That was my first pot of gold after I succeeded in starting my business, and I bought it for you specially.”

"Yes, but didn't you know? I also compensated Qin Xiang as a gift to apologize."

Lu Dongyou was momentarily speechless, as if there was indeed such a thing.

He opened his mouth, wanting to refute Lu Ning's words.

But when he thought back on all these years, it seemed that apart from that golden phoenix crown, he had never bought Lu Ning any decent gifts.

For a moment, Lu Dongyou was speechless.

Lu Ning said sarcastically, "So, Mr. Lu Dongyou, have you decided what price you're willing to pay?"

Now Lu Dongyou can no longer morally blackmail Lu Ning.

He said curtly, "How much money do you want?"

"It depends on how much you think it's worth. These are mostly your competitors or former enemies. With this data, you can definitely get more benefits."

After Lu Ning finished speaking, she looked at Lu Dongyou.

Finally, Lu Dongyou spoke: "One million."

"Two million."

"Lu Ning, don't go too far! This little thing is worth two million?"

Lu Ning said lightly, "Then you don't have to."

She casually tossed the USB drive into the trash can, since it was useless to her anyway.

Lu Dongyou saw Lu Ning throw away the USB drive like it was trash.

She just threw away that million yuan without even asking for it, all because she negotiated a price.

Lu Dongyou was furious, but finally compromised: "Two million it is."

"Transfer the money now, cash on delivery."

Lu Ning readily agreed. Anyway, the data was useless to her, but she could use it to annoy Lu Dongyou and make some money, so it was a way to make use of waste.

Lu Dongyou's mood was not very good.

He glanced reluctantly at his secretary: "Have the finance department transfer the money to her!"

The secretary tentatively suggested, "Boss, why don't we ask Miss to help fix the system again? After all, we've asked so many people, but they still can't solve this problem."

Did I tell you to talk too much?

Lu Dongyou had lost face, so he didn't want to ask Lu Ning for help.

Lu Nanfeng also chimed in, "Brother, you've always distrusted outsiders, worrying that they'll steal the company's data. Why don't you hand it over to Ningning? After all, you're family."

"Stop! Who says we're family? Don't come after me; I don't want to be implicated!"

Don't let any problems arise and then everyone start doubting her.

Lu Ning refused outright, showing no intention of negotiating at all.

Lu Dongyou looked at Lu Nanfeng: "Did you hear that? If they don't want to, stop trying to curry favor with them."

Lu Nanfeng gave a wry smile, looked at Lu Ning with expectant eyes.

Lu Ning's expression was cold: "I will not agree."

Lu Nanfeng was still unwilling: "We can also pay you a salary based on outside rates, and you can name your salary."

Lu Ning was speechless: "Mr. Lu Nanfeng, are you deaf too? Couldn't you hear what I just said?"

Lu Nanfeng was about to say something when his secretary, Zhang, stopped him: "Boss, if Miss doesn't want to come, don't force her."

Lu Nanfeng glanced at Secretary Zhang. He wanted Lu Ning to have more contact with her family so that it would seem that Lu Ning still had ties with the Lu family.

Secretary Zhang sighed: "Boss, as long as you have the money, you can find the right person. Didn't the big boss say he found an expert on the black market? He can definitely solve this."

Lu Dongyou snorted coldly: "That's right, I've already found the right people, and the company's system problem will be resolved soon. There are plenty of experts in this world; as long as I'm willing to spend the money, there's no problem that can't be solved."

When Lu Ning heard the words "black market," she suddenly had an immature guess.

It can't be such a coincidence, right?

She's probably overthinking it. After all, the black market is so big, it's impossible that the private job she took on was with Lu's company.

Lu Ning glanced at her phone and received a notification that two million had been deposited into her account.

She leaned back and pushed the trash can away, saying, "Take it."

She won't pick it up; take it or leave it.

Lu Dongyou's expression turned colder: "Lu Ning, you want me to go pick it up from the trash can?"

"Otherwise, I won't pick them up. Whoever needs them can pick them up."

"What kind of attitude is that? I spent two million!"

Lu Ning's expression turned cold: "Then you don't have to take it. I'll give you your money back!"

"you!"

Lu Dongyou was absolutely furious.

I never expected Lu Ning to be so stubborn now!

At this moment, Lu Nanfeng walked over, bent down, and picked up the USB drive from the trash can.

Secretary Zhang, somewhat distressed, tried to stop him: "Boss, let me do it."

"It's okay, it's not dirty inside."

Lu Nanfeng picked up the USB drive, wiped it with a tissue, and looked at Lu Ning. He knew that she was still thinking of the Lu family.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have bothered to keep this data.

Although they gave two million, it was only right.

Lu Nanfeng spoke calmly: "Ningning, I heard you have a good relationship with Gu Zifeng, but do you know who he is?"

Lu Ning disliked the way Lu Nanfeng looked at her.

She frowned. "I just found out too, but this is between him and me, and it has nothing to do with you."

Lu Dongyou couldn't help but speak up: "Lu Ning, you are the daughter of the Lu family, and you grew up with a silver spoon in your mouth. How could you become someone's mistress? How can you face your parents in heaven?"

Lu Ning's face instantly turned cold.

She stared at Lu Dongyou: "Say it again?"

"Big brother, can you please stop talking?"

Lu Nanfeng became agitated, his pale face contorted with redness, looking as if he might faint at any moment.

Seeing his expression, Lu Dongyou didn't know what else to say.

Lu Nanfeng turned around, but couldn't help coughing.

Secretary Zhang came over to support him with concern and handed Lu Nanfeng some medicine: "Take some."

"No, I won't die."

Lu Nanfeng forced himself to look up at Lu Ning, hoping to see worry on her face.

Unfortunately, Lu Ning was expressionless and couldn't see anything.

Lu Nanfeng couldn't hide his disappointment: "Ningning, we only came to ask because we heard about your relationship with that person from the Gu family. We were worried that you would suffer a loss. The Gu family is not an ordinary wealthy family."

Even the Lu family, in terms of social standing, is not qualified to be compared to the Gu family.

Lu Ning scoffed: "What, are you worried that I'll become someone's mistress and bring shame to the Lu family?"

Lu Dongyou said coldly, "It's good that you know!"

“But I severed all ties with your Lu family long ago. I don’t need to report to you what I do!”

"Lu Ning, do you have any shame? A young woman doing something like this, and you think it's something to be proud of? Do you think you can be kept by someone with shares in this small, run-down company?"

With a bang, the door was kicked open.

Ji Chiqian walked in with a cold face, staring at Lu Dongyou: "Try saying that again?"

Lu Dongyou stared at Ji Chiqian's features, and his expression changed instantly.

Could he be...?
