Chapter 142 - 142: Trust Each Other
Lu Huai said this not because he didn’t want to cooperate with Pei Xin, but because he wanted to see Pei Xin’s current state of mind.
In the past, Pei Xin had her own ideas and was very intelligent and meticulous. However, she had a fatal flaw. She was too soft-hearted and easily manipulated.
If Pei Xin had not changed her perspective, no matter how much he helped Pei Xin, Pei Xin would not be able to grow.
He was very happy for Pei Xin when she proved her innocence last time.
This time, he didn’t know what Pei Xin’s purpose was. If Pei Xin was here to ask for his help, he didn’t mind helping, but he needed to know the motives behind the change.
“I want to take advantage of the current popularity to livestream and sell my goods,” Pei Xin said directly. “And this time, we won’t need any female celebrities from your side. Just Zhou Yu and 1 will do.”
Lu Huai was a little surprised, and then his lips curled up slightly.
Pei Xin’s idea was not bad.
“What do you need me to provide?” Lu Huai asked.
Pei Xin said, “There’s a lot of eyes on me. Other than our company’s cosmetics, 1 need more products to sell. I know that the Lu family knows many people and can find all kinds of products. 1 plan to sell agricultural products and help farmers sell the grain in their fields.”
“Agricultural products?” Lu Huai raised his eyebrows. “Why did you suddenly think of selling this?”
His company had many partners. Compared to agricultural products, snacks, and clothes were more popular among young people.
Among the consumers that purchased his brand, there were more female buyers than males — Clothes, cosmetics, and snacks were all very attractive to women.
Agricultural products were not favored among young women.
“Cosmetics and snacks are indeed more popular among young people,” Pei Xin explained. “But selling agricultural products can help farmers more. It can be seen as public welfare. I found some information that the government has talked about looking for a contractor for a piece of land. If we build a good reputation during this period, we might be able to win the development rights of this land.”
Pei Xin handed a document to Lu Huai.
“This is a recent report I made. According to the pattern of business development, I predict that this piece of land will become a new trade center in the future.
“There are a lot of foreigners coming to Beijing. These foreigners might account for a large proportion of the expenditure. If we can seize the opportunity to build a mall here in advance, there will definitely be a lot of consumers here in the future who will put money into it. We won’t lose money in the long run.”
Lu Huai did not say anything immediately. Instead, he took the report from Pei Xin’s hands and read it carefully.
The more Lu Huai looked, the more satisfied he became.
He couldn’t help but praise Pei Xin.
“You have good business instincts. It’s an honor to be able to work with you.
“I’ll help your company bid for this land. I’ve already registered another company here. In the future, the management and development of this land will be handled by that company.”
Pei Xin didn’t understand. “Why do you want to use another company to cooperate with us?” she asked. “Can’t the Lu Corporation do it?”
Lu Huai felt that they were now considered senior partners, so he could tell Pei Xin things frankly.
Lu Huai said directly, “Recently, my father and brother have been scheming. It seems that Lu Li and Pei Yu started a new company together. My father intends to give his connections and resources to Lu Li. I can understand why he’s doing that. He wants to support Lu Li and suppress me. He wants me to give in so he can take back the Lu Corporation from me. They’ve already started their plan to suppress me. I admit I wasn’t that prepared. These ideas you mentioned can be the first project of my new company.”
Pei Xin was slightly stunned.
Lu Li was starting to compete with Lu Huai for the company.
She didn’t expect Lu Li to be so ambitious.
However, she was Lu Huai’s ally. Between Lu Li and Lu Huai, she would definitely choose to support Lu Huai.
If Lu Li decided to grow it, it would not be good for her.
To protect Ling Lin and her brother, Pei Xin forced herself to become tough. She could not continue to be weak.
Benevolence to the enemy was cruelty to oneself.
Pei Xin looked at Lu Huai and said seriously, “Let me help you. Lu Li is now our common enemy. Stopping his development will be good for you and me..”
