Jade City, Paramount Restaurant.

"Miss Lu Nanzhi, your father, Mr. Lu Jingnan, was one of Chairman Lu's legitimate sons. Chairman Lu recently passed away and left a will that he will pass 15% of shares of the Synergy Company to Mr. Lu Jingnan."

The lawyer looked at the young woman seated across from him while they talked. 

Withdrawing his stare, he placed a stack of papers on the table containing the copy of the will and pushed it towards Lu Nanzhi before continuing his job.

"Since you are Mr. Lu Jingnan's only surviving descendant, you are the direct heir to the inheritance."

"My client, Mrs. Lu Meiying, your father's half-sister, is benevolent. She heard of your family's debt and is willing to help by buying the shares for 500 million yuan."

"If you sign these papers..." The lawyer pulled out a black and gold debit card and a pen from his briefcase and laid them next to the papers. He added, "This card contains 500 million yuan and will be yours."

Slender build, slightly weathered skin, hands with callouses from working several jobs, face without a trace of makeup, and bleached clothes.

Despite these, one cannot hide the fact that she had some charms, especially that pair of clear eyes as if staring directly into his soul.

According to the information he gathered about her. To pay back the debt their family incurred from her mother's hospital bills, she had been working several jobs at once since her main job couldn't pay the debt.

500 million was enough to cover the debt of 3 million yuan, and she can use the remaining money to live the rest of her life carefree.

However, the lawyer never Lu Nanzhi was not only unperturbed by the amount and even demanded something.

Lu Nanzhi lifted the corner of her mouth into a cold smile. Her eyes glanced at the name tag on the lawyer's chest. "Mr. Cheng, the total evaluation of the Synergy Company is worth at least 70 billion yuan. Not to mention, its annual profit of Synergy Company should be about 4 billion, and since the will is dated 3 months ago, the accrued income of 15% of the company's profit that I was entitled to claim should be included. Don't you think your evaluation is too low?"

She knew this stuff since she graduated with an accounting degree.

A mere 500 million yuan for 15% shares?

Don't make her laugh.

These people were clearly taking her for a country bumpkin that knows nothing.

Mr. Cheng frowned and explained, "Miss Lu, as you know, after the death of the chairman, the management experience shift leading to the prices of the stocks in the market was also affected, the reason for the profit to drop these past few months—"

"You don't want to waste any breath, Mr. Cheng. Five billion for the 15% shares, and I will sign these papers." Lu Nanzhi wanted to ask more, but she knew that this would spell trouble. That Lu Meiying was not as benevolent as this lawyer had portrayed.

Mr. Cheng froze, never expecting her to have a lion's mouth. He quickly said in a slightly angry tone, "Miss Lu Nanzhi, the price you're asking is too high! 2 billion, and that's it."

Lu Nanzhi merely glanced at the lawyer before showing him a calling card. "My other uncle's lawyer also called me yesterday, and he stated the same price."

That was a lie. What her uncle offered was only around 700 million and payable by installments.

If it was the past Lu Nanzhi, she would not waste a single breath with the Lu Main Family, but because of what she experienced before, Lu Nanzhi would not miss this opportunity to squeeze money from them.

Her eyes glinted with unknown emotions.

Mr. Cheng confirmed the authenticity of the calling card. It appears that the other side had started to move as well. This was bad on their part.

The next board of directors' meeting will be scheduled next week, which is about appointing the next chairman. Mrs. Lu Meiying's shares are lower than her other sibling's; therefore, they are desperate for Lu Nanzhi's shares.

Mr. Cheng could see that Lu Nanzhi wouldn't budge, and there's no way to confirm what she said is true. He loosened the tie around his neck before calling his client.

Lu Nanzhi listened to their call, and she could clearly hear Lu Meiying labeling her along the lines of being a greedy b*tch.

To be honest, the price she quoted was only a fourth of its true value. She was the one at the losing end.

Just when her ears are about to get numb, Mr. Cheng finally relents, "Mrs. Lu Meiying had agreed, but she will only pay 4.3 billion yuan."

Lu Nanzhi was already expecting Lu Meiying's move. "Okay, I'll accept her price... but 'Auntie' must pay the full amount in cash."

"4.3 billion yuan is a very large amount of money, Miss Lu. It will take a while to liquidate Mrs. Lu's assets!" Mr. Cheng swallowed the gulp in his throat.

"I'll give you two days at most. You knew my number. You can contact me when you have prepared the money." Lu Nanzhi stood up from her seat and left.

"Wait! Miss Lu!" Mr. Cheng wanted to catch up, but Lu Nanzhi had already disappeared. He pinched the bridge of his nose.

This is one of the hardest deals he worked with. The young woman was really not afraid of making demands. He wiped the beads of drool from his forehead before contacting his client again, relaying what Lu Nanzhi said.

Clearly, Lu Meiying was not very happy.

But that wasn't Lu Nanzhi's concern.

Instead, she was even glad that Lu Meiying was boiling with anger. 

Outside, after hailing a cab, Lu Nanzhi could finally put her attention on the holographic screen in front of her.
