I Am Born With A Sliver Spoon

“I didn’t know that you have guests here. Seems like today is a bad time to visit after all.” Yang Xia smoothed her hair and smiled. “I wonder who is able to receive such reverence. After all, you are well respected by everyone in the northern region here.”

“Ha-ha! The exchange convention is still ongoing, so there are a lot of guests right now. But this guest is very different from the rest. Anyway, let’s change topics, shall we? I will look at your proposal carefully when I’m done with the exchange convention. Why don’t you stay here, and we can discuss it officially after the convention is over?”

Yang Xia smiled. “I’ll await Mr. Lu’s orders then!”

The compound of the Lu Family was very big. There were a lot of mansions and areas for distinguished guests to hang around.

On the second day, Yang Xia and her servants were planning to walk around the garden of the Lu Family when a few guards stopped her.

“I’m very sorry, Ms. Yang, but no one except Mr. Lu can enter this area.”

“My apologies. This is such a fancy and special area. I wonder who lives here? Oh, is it reserved for Mr Chen? I heard he is an important guest of Mr. Lu!”

As the guards ignored her, Yang Xia frowned and left.

“Miss Yang, I am sure the Lu Family has a lot of confidential information. There’s no need to worry about it!” one of her servants advised.

“I was just hoping he wasn’t our competitor. If that’s the case, everything that the Long Family worked until now will be wasted. Lu Zongyuan is so sly and cunning! After the long discussion yesterday, he did not reveal any inclination whether he was interested in the project. It’s a ten-billion project after all, how could he be so disinterested? What on earth was he thinking?” Yang Xua crossed her arms.

“Let’s just wait until the exchange convention ends. Miss Yang, you could have a look at the exchange convention and connect with people from the rich companies there. It would be useful to the Long Family.”

“I know, but I’m not interested in events like that.”

“Then where are we going?”

“I have a few distant relatives here at Long Jiang. It’s been around eight years since we last met. I’ll take some time to visit them,” Yang Xia said with a hint of sarcasm in her eyes.

Meanwhile, a group of caucasians walked past her.
