Transmigrated into a female-oriented novel, and put an end to the domineering CEOs all over the city

Lu Jingxiu nodded coldly and expressionlessly, trying to use this aloof attitude to cover up his momentary embarrassment.

He casually picked up his water glass again, took another sip, and then asked indifferently, "So what exactly is her background that you call her the princess of Ba Province?"

Tang Cheng and the others tactfully ignored the small misunderstanding that had just occurred, as if nothing had happened, and seamlessly returned to the main topic.

"Her grandfather was a general," Tang Cheng cleared his throat and began counting on his fingers, "and her grandmother was the actual controlling shareholder of a large corporation, with a net worth of this much."

He made a gesture.

"My eldest uncle is an active-duty military officer, and his rank is quite high. My father is the richest man in our province, with businesses all over the country. My younger uncle is a big star in the entertainment industry, a movie star. My cousin is a division-level cadre in a powerful department in the province, young and promising, and my older cousin is also a well-known heiress in the industry..."

Lu Jingxiu's lips twitched. Was he reciting a list of dishes?

Tang Cheng cleared his throat and continued:

"Her eldest brother is the family's designated heir, her second brother is doing scientific research at the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and her third brother is the undisputed leader in the family business, with a strong and ruthless approach. And most importantly, everyone in the An family, from the old man to her brothers, dotes on her like a precious jewel."

"Isn't this configuration a bit...?" After hearing this, Lu Jingxiu couldn't find a suitable adjective for a moment.

"That's really impressive." Tang Cheng nodded in deep agreement.

"No," Lu Jingxiu shook his head, his brows furrowing slightly, "What I mean is, isn't this configuration a bit... too unrealistic?"

Upon hearing this, all five people in the private room turned around and looked at Lu Jingxiu.

"Zhixu," Lu Jingxiu's gaze shifted to a tall, composed young man, "I recall that there are strict reporting and restriction regulations for children of generals who go into business, right?"

This boy's name is Guo Zhixu, and he is the son of the secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission of Ba City.

He nodded, his tone certain: "That's right, there are very strict regulations and review procedures."

"Well then, this one..." Lu Jingxiu paused.

Tang Cheng whispered a reminder: "An Xiaozhao."

"Miss An Xiaozhao," Lu Jingxiu continued, his tone becoming somewhat playful, "since her grandfather is a general, why is her grandmother the actual controlling shareholder of a large corporation? Can the financial transactions and vested interests involved withstand scrutiny?"

He tapped his fingers lightly on his knee: "This An family has a highly concentrated presence in four sectors: military, business, politics, and entertainment, and they've reached the top in each. Don't you think this is a bit too...sensitive?"

Tang Cheng and the others looked at each other in bewilderment.

For some reason, when they heard about An Xiaozhao's background before, they only thought it was "awesome" and "unapproachable," and that was it. They never thought about it in this direction.

But after Lu Jingxiu pointed it out, they all realized what was going on.

"Hey, you know what, Brother Lu," Guo Zhixu raised an eyebrow, seemingly thoughtful, "now that you mention it, it does seem a bit off. It's too concentrated, and the energy is too great."

"And she's even called the 'Little Princess of the Province'?" Lu Jingxiu's expression suddenly turned serious, and his voice deepened. "What is she planning to do? Hmm?"

He stood up, looked around, and said sternly, "Spanning the military, business, politics, and entertainment sectors, could there be any transfer of benefits involved? Could there be any corruption involved? Who gave Anjia this right?"

"What is the An family trying to do? Are they trying to establish factionalism? Do they want to be emperors in Ba Province? Are they trying to restore feudalism?"

"In this province of Ba, is it the people who are in charge, or is it this Anjia guy who's in charge?"

The lounge was completely silent.

The five brothers were all stunned because Lu Jingxiu's tone of voice was exactly the same as their father's when he was in meetings, even the intonation was exactly the same.

They could only sigh silently in their hearts, "He truly is worthy of being Secretary Lu's son."

"Brother Lu," Zhou Yu spoke first. He was the son of the Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission and was always cautious by nature.

"So you mean... you're planning to take action against the An family? We need to think this through carefully. The An family is deeply entrenched, and acting rashly could easily provoke their furious retaliation."

"You coward, what are you afraid of!" Tang Cheng slapped his thigh, his face full of excitement. "Uncle Lu is a member of the Provincial Party Committee Standing Committee, he's not someone to be trifled with. Brother Lu, just say the word, and tonight I'll have my dad report it directly to the Provincial Government in the name of the Municipal Government."

"That's right," Guo Zhixu chimed in, his tone steady. "Brother Lu, I've asked my dad to contact the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection and fully cooperate with Uncle Lu to establish a joint investigation team from the Provincial Party Committee. If they really want to investigate, I don't believe they won't find anything wrong."

The other two partners nodded in agreement, expressing their support for Lu Jingxiu's decision. Zhou Yu finally nodded as well, indicating that they would stand together through thick and thin.

They weren't stupid. Although the An family sounded powerful, they were even more aware of the influence of Lu Jingxiu's father, Lu Feng.

He is not only the top official in Bazhou, the provincial capital, but also a member of the Provincial Party Committee Standing Committee, wielding significant influence within the province.

As long as these local bullies unite, with Lu Feng at the top, they really aren't afraid of the An family.

The biggest weakness of Anjia is that there are no high-ranking local officials. Even his cousin, who is in politics, is at most a division-level cadre.

At the local level, there are several insurmountable barriers between the division-level officials and the high-ranking officials at the department-level and vice-ministerial level of these companies.

Seeing that his brothers were already rubbing their hands together, ready to roll up their sleeves, Lu Jingxiu waved his hand, sat back on the sofa, crossed his legs, and smiled slightly.

"What are you thinking?" He picked up his water glass, his tone suddenly becoming more relaxed. "What I mean is, we don't need to be afraid of An Jia."

"Who cares about his general grandfather or his richest father? When we get to Bashi, we have to be humble and disciplined. As long as we stick together, we don't need to worry about a mere place like Anjia."

He then emphasized again: "Remember, unity is what makes our group stronger. Let's not let our own people lose their composure first."

The atmosphere in the private room immediately relaxed.

Tang Cheng chuckled, Zhou Yu breathed a sigh of relief, Guo Zhixu nodded thoughtfully, and the other two, Fu Chen and Jiao Lei, also nodded.

Fu Chen is the son of the director of the Municipal People's Congress Standing Committee, and Jiao Lei is the son of the chief prosecutor of the Municipal People's Procuratorate.

They understood Lu Jingxiu's subtext.

The point is not to confront the An family head-on right now, but to stabilize our own base, remain neither arrogant nor humble, and also to be wary of the An family and keep a close eye on them.

At the same time, whenever they encounter any problems, as long as they unite and advance together, they become a powerful force.

"Understood, Brother Lu," Tang Cheng was the first to respond. "We brothers are definitely of one mind!"

"That's right!"

"Absolutely!"

The others echoed this sentiment.

Lu Jingxiu glanced at his watch and stood up. "Isn't it about time? Let's go see what this little princess is planning to do tonight."

Although there were some inexplicable logical flaws in this world, Lu Jingxiu's mind remained clear.

Is it really just to organize a gathering and have a chat with a group of second-generation officials and rich kids, given that someone with such a powerful background could be called the "Little Princess of Ba Province"?

That's far too frivolous.

She definitely has her own purpose, she just doesn't know it yet.
