Chapter 32 (2/2)
Everyone was silent.
Luo Fei, who was initially in a daze, also had clear eyes. He lowered his head and did not say anything.
Upon seeing this, Zhao Yan was not surprised.
They had been through a lot for the past few years. Hence, they would not voice their opinions and thoughts just because of Zhao Yan’s words.
If they were really easily tricked, she would actually look down on them.
The people that Zhao Yan left behind were all people she thought highly of. They were the few outstanding students in her class.
“Ding Ling, your father is the head of security, but you still has brothers and sisters at home. Even though he’s deeply trusted by Baron Darkmoon, there are so many heads of security in Baron Darkmoon’s territory. Does he have a way to send all his children to work under Baron Darkmoon?”
“Even if there are spots, how many can your family get? Do you think you’ll get a spot too?”
This time, Zhao Yan purposefully started to target Ding Ling.
Ding Ling was also the one with the best family background among them.
When Ding Ling was with Lin Dong, she was very shy. However, she was unusually calm when she heard Zhao Yan’s harsh words.
She sat up straight and softly said, “Even if I am not valued at home, it’s not a problem for me to work under Baron Darkmoon. At least, I’m still better than you, Zhao Yan.”
Zhao Yan did not think much of it. “If you just want to find a stable job and marry someone in the future, then I won’t keep you.”
Ding Ling lowered her head and did not speak.
Upon seeing this, Zhao Yan turned to look at Li Ziqing. “Ziqing, among the girls in the class, you have a relatively high IQ. I know you didn’t plan to stay here forever. However, Baron Darkmoon will objectively limit your growth. Do you really think that you can inherit your father’s company just because you’re the financial affairs of his company?”
“Your father’s mistress has a 3-year-old kid. I don’t think it’s your turn to inherit the company any time soon.”
Li Ziqing looked at Zhao Yan coldly, and her expression was awful.
“You’re so nosy. It’s a pity that you didn’t work as a reporter. Since I didn’t want to stay here forever, why would I care about that lousy company?”
“Besides, do you think that Baron Darkmoon and Baron Soro’s open trade agreement negotiations have started recently? They’ve been in contact for 2 years. They sped up the process a month ago. I know the details better than you.”
The smile on Zhao Yan’s face disappeared, but she did not take it to heart. Instead, she turned to look at Luo Fei.
“Luo Fei, have you completed the initial stage of the meditation technique? If you haven’t, you’ll be questioned by a lot of people. How are you going to inherit your family business?”
Luo Fei calmly looked into Zhao Yan’s eyes, and he voiced out, “The meditation technique is a skill that only nobles have. I don’t know anything about it. The Luo family only has a technique that trains our physical body. As for whether or not I can inherit the family business, it’s none of your business.”
Zhao Yan once again smiled, but she did not point it out.
Her next target was Lin Dong. Only by pointing out everyone’s weaknesses, or rather, their flaws, would she be able to better control the tempo and allow everything to go according to her plan, in order to achieve her goal.
However, before she could speak, Lin Dong first waved his hand and said, “There is no need for me to mention it. A commoner from the Welfare Institute, I’m just a nobody.”
“It’s a waste of time to talk about me, why don’t we just get down to business.”
“Hahaha.”
“Hmph.”
“Tsk.”
A few indecipherable sneers sounded out, causing the atmosphere to become lively.
Zhao Yan also looked at Lin Dong with a faint smile.
Lin Dong rolled his eyes, as he leaned back and uttered, “Zhao Yan, let’s get down to business.”
Since Lin Dong could not stop her, he would just let her continue.
