MTLNOVEL Chapter 74: Dominance
Watching Li Shengtao leave, the meeting room instantly plunged into a suffocating silence, as if a giant boulder pressed upon the chests of those present, leaving them oppressed beyond measure!
Lu Yu's words and actions just now had completely exceeded the expectations of everyone present! None of them anticipated that Lu Yu would dare to make a move against Li Shengtao in broad daylight, let alone that the illustrious son of LA City's real estate mogul, Li Shengru, would be so frightened by Lu Yu that he fled in such a pathetic state!
In an instant, a trace of fear flickered in the eyes of all the bigshots when they looked at Lu Yu.
Feeling the strange silence in the meeting room, Lu Yu's gaze swept over all the bigshots present. Seeing the trace of fear in everyone's eyes, he couldn't help but let out a cold sneer in his heart.
In his view, these so-called bigshots were no different from the wild beasts and animals on a deserted island. Just moments ago, they were full of disdain, even loudly mocking him, but after he punished Li Shengtao, they all showed such fearful eyes!
In this regard, these bigshots were fundamentally the same as the beasts on the deserted island!
The law of the jungle doesn't just apply to the jungle, it also applies in this concrete jungle of a city!
Survival of the fittest, the strong survive, this is an eternal and unchanging truth!
Thinking of this, Lu Yu shook his head, then looked up at everyone present and said, "You don't have to put on that face for me, if I hadn't acted just now, you would have continued to mock me loudly with Li Shengtao, right?"
As he said this, a hint of contempt appeared in Lu Yu's eyes, "Why, why aren't you laughing now? Weren't you laughing so happily just now? Come on, try giving me a laugh!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the bigshots fell silent like cicadas in winter, bowing their heads without a word.
"Laugh!"
Seeing these silent bigshots, Lu Yu suddenly slapped the table, speaking loudly, and this sudden sound startled all the bigshots, making them tremble, a trace of fear showing in their eyes.
"Very well, now that you're not laughing anymore, we can continue with the meeting," Lu Yu said, "If anyone wants to leave, you can go now, I won't stop you, but if you stay, you'd better behave! If anyone dares to mock the Lu Family again, don't blame me for not being polite!"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present bowed their heads in an instant. Li Shengtao's status in LA City was by no means low, and such a person had been dispatched by Lu Yi with a glass, leaving in embarrassment; the rest of them were even less worth mentioning.
Now everyone was afraid of Lu Yu, fearing he might get angry and smash the glass in his hand onto their own faces.
Seeing all the bigshots fall silent, Lu Yu nodded. Among these so-called bigshots, most were unfamiliar faces to him.
Even though he hadn't met them before, Lu Yu was now certain these people were fence-sitters. This was evident from earlier when they all laughed along with Li Shengtao's lead in jeering!
At this moment, Leng Qingqiu watched Lu Yu's actions in front of her, her heart filled with immense surprise. This meeting, she merely asked Lu Yu to be a bit more assertive, so as not to be bullied, but she never imagined Lu Yu would be so fierce, scaring everyone present to the point they wouldn't dare utter a word!
This wasn't just assertiveness; it was domineering!
Thinking of this, the curiosity in Leng Qingqiu's eyes grew deeper. What exactly happened on that deserted island in the past five years to turn the slick-tongued playboy from five years ago into such a domineering man?
With this in mind, Leng Qingqiu shook her head to clear her thoughts, then opened her mouth and said, "Alright, let's put what just happened behind us, and start the official meeting now!"
...
Li Shengtao emerged from the Jinmao Junyue Hotel in disgrace, and his assistant waiting outside quickly approached. Seeing Li Shengtao's swollen face and bloodstained mouth, the assistant exclaimed in surprise, "Young Master, are you alright, Young Master?"
"Do I look alright to you?!"
Li Shengtao angrily pointed at his cheek and said to his assistant, his words filled with coldness, "Now go get people, get them to take care of that Lu Yu for me!"
"But Young Master, Yunting said they would only help us for a million," the assistant cautiously asked, "Do you have enough money?"
"Get lost! Even without Yunting, will I cease to exist?!" Li Shengtao roared at his assistant in anger, "I trained some men, get them to take care of Lu Yu!"
"But Young Master, didn't you say not to use them under normal circumstances?" the assistant said, his words full of persuasion.
"Then what's not a normal circumstance to you?" Li Shengtao seized the assistant's collar and pointed at his own cheek, "I just got hit!"
"Lu Yu hit me in front of those heads of other corporations! You tell me, isn't this an unusual circumstance?!"
He was now beyond furious, screaming hysterically. Earlier, in front of those bigshots, he was knocked down by Lu Yu with a glass and ran out in a mess, which was the greatest humiliation of his life!
"Now notify them immediately, have them wait at the doorstep of Victory Group. Once you see Lu Yu is alone, act immediately. And remember, don't kill him, I want to personally torture him to death, I want to root out their Lu Family completely!"
"Understood, understood!"
The assistant was clearly frightened by Li Shengtao's hysterical state and hastily agreed in his words.
"Then why aren't you going to do it? What are you standing here for?" Li Shengtao kicked the assistant hard and said.
"Yes, Young Master, I'll handle it immediately. Immediately!" The assistant, having been kicked, hurriedly agreed, swiftly pulling out his phone to start making arrangements.
Seeing the assistant's reaction, Li Shengtao glanced at the Rolls-Royce Phantom parked not far away, spat out a mouthful of bloody phlegm, and said, "Just wait, Leng Qingqiu, you will be mine eventually!"
