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

Li Qingqing looked up at her, her face expressionless.

The beautiful girl didn't seem to mind her coldness; instead, she smiled even more brightly.

Her gaze swept over Li Qingqing from head to toe.

"Tsk," she clicked her tongue, her tone laced with sarcasm, "This doesn't seem like a place for you, does it? Hmm? Don't you even look at the people around you? You think wearing an outdated dress makes you a princess?"

There's going to be a good show!

Several guests who were already standing nearby moved a few steps and gathered around Lu Jingxiu.

He was standing in the best position, with a wide field of vision, allowing him to see the entire process clearly.

"Fairy tales are all lies, you know? Do you really think Young Master Fu would like a poor, pathetic girl like you?"

She maintained her fake smile: "Do you know how much one of his shirts costs? Enough for your family to live on for a lifetime!"

"Are you done?" Li Qingqing said indifferently. "Get lost."

The beautiful girl's face flushed red instantly, as if she had been greatly humiliated.

The fake smile vanished from her face, and she gritted her teeth: "What did you say?"

Li Qingqing was too lazy to repeat herself.

This silence is more lethal than any counterattack.

The young lady could no longer bear it, and with a sudden flick of her right hand, she splashed the crimson wine in her glass at Li Qingqing.

Just as the wine splashed onto Li Qingqing, a figure quickly squeezed through the crowd.

Fu Xingzhou stepped out from the crowd and grabbed Chu Jin's wrist.

However, the glass of red wine still spilled onto Li Qingqing's dress, instantly making her look somewhat disheveled.

"Chu Jin!" Fu Xingzhou's voice was filled with suppressed anger. He stood in front of Li Qingqing, his face grim. "Li Qingqing is my person. It's not your place to act wildly here!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he raised his hand and delivered a resounding slap to Chu Jin's delicate and beautiful face.

Chu Jin staggered from the blow, covering her face, her eyes instantly filling with tears, and her carefully applied eye makeup smudged in a small patch.

Her lips trembled as she looked at Fu Xingzhou, then at Li Qingqing. Her expression shifted from shock to grievance, then from grievance to humiliation and resentment.

Then she bit her lip hard, as if she was about to cry, turned around and stumbled out of the banquet hall in her high heels.

The guests who had been watching the commotion finally came to their senses and began whispering among themselves, their eyes darting between Fu Xingzhou and Li Qingqing.

A girl in a pale yellow dress was the first to spot him, covering her mouth in surprise: "Oh my, Young Master Lu, you're here watching the fun too?"

Lu Jingxiu smiled slightly at her: "What a coincidence."

This girl was clearly well-informed; she pointed in the direction Chu Jin had run off in and explained softly:

"The one who just threw the wine is named Chu Jin. She's the only daughter of the richest man in Ba City. She grew up with Fu Xingzhou, and their families are old friends. Everyone in the industry knows she has feelings for President Fu. But today, President Fu suddenly brought a new girlfriend over, and look, the whole thing exploded."

She paused, then gestured with her chin towards Li Qingqing: "This is Li Qingqing, one of the campus beauties of Badu University. I think she was... I think she was Lu..."

Her voice stopped abruptly, as if someone had suddenly grabbed her by the neck.

She turned her head stiffly, looking at Lu Jingxiu standing calmly beside her, her pretty face flushed red.

Lu Jingxiu nodded calmly: "Yes, my ex-girlfriend."

"Ahem, Mr. Lu, I'm sorry." The girl in the yellow dress smiled apologetically.

Another girl in a champagne-colored dress chimed in, her voice full of doubt: "Li Qingqing is quite pretty, but when did she become President Fu's girlfriend? There wasn't a word about it before."

The girl in the yellow dress had a gossipy glint in her eyes and lowered her head even further: "I don't know either... President Fu has kept it well hidden, but Miss Chu's performance today will probably be known throughout the entire Ba Shi circle by tomorrow."

Lu Jingxiu didn't reply, but just looked at Fu Xingzhou.

Before the whispers had even ended, Fu Xingzhou had already taken off his suit jacket and gently draped it over Li Qingqing's shoulders, covering her exposed shoulders.

He whispered something in a gentle tone, then nodded slightly to the surrounding guests and said, "Excuse me, I'll take Qingqing to change her clothes." He then put his arm around her shoulder and walked quickly out of the banquet hall.

Li Qingqing obediently nestled beside him, not giving Lu Jingxiu a single extra glance before leaving.

If the original owner of this body saw this, he would probably go crazy.

But Lu Jingxiu simply stood there, watching the direction they left in, his brows slightly furrowed.

It seems I won't have a chance to ask tonight.

He shook his head. Forget it, let's talk about it tomorrow. Anyway, since Li Qingqing brought it up herself, it means she has a backup plan; she'll come knocking on his door sooner or later.

However, this girl in the yellow dress seems to be quite well-informed.

Lu Jingxiu turned around and his gaze fell to the side.

Several girls huddled together, heads close together, occasionally letting out gasps and laughter, clearly sharing their opinions on the drama that had just unfolded.

He walked over, holding his wine glass.

"Would you like to have a drink together?" he asked politely.

Several girls were chatting enthusiastically when they heard this and turned around.

When they realized that the speaker was Lu Jingxiu, they looked at each other in shock, and then their gazes fell on the girl in the yellow dress, their eyes filled with envy.

Young Master Lu is actually making plans with someone? And it's his best friend?

Who doesn't know Lu Jingxiu's status in this circle?

He's usually the one everyone fawns over, but now he's taking the initiative to invite a girl out. If this were on today's gossip list, it would probably be second only to the slap Miss Chu got in terms of popularity.

The girl in the yellow dress was also taken aback for a moment, but she reacted quickly, flashing a graceful smile: "Ah... okay, it's my pleasure!"

She winked at her girlfriends, then, holding her wine glass, followed Lu Jingxiu briskly through the crowd to a relatively quiet corner of the banquet hall.

This spot is near floor-to-ceiling windows, offering views of the city's dazzling nightscape. There's a small table and two chairs nearby.

"Young Master Lu, let's get to know each other formally. My name is Han Xuanxuan," she said, extending her right hand confidently with a slight smile. "My father is the president of Ba Shi Daily."

"Nice to meet you." Lu Jingxiu reached out and gently shook her hand, then parted after a brief touch.

With the help of the soft light from the corner, he finally had time to take a closer look at the girl in front of him.

Han Xuanxuan is a classic beauty, with an oval face, fair skin, and well-proportioned features.

In this banquet hall filled with beautiful women tonight, her looks wouldn't be considered the most outstanding.

But she has a pair of round, bright almond-shaped eyes that reveal a kind of cleverness and clarity.

"Miss Han, are you still in school?" Lu Jingxiu pulled out a chair and sat down, asking casually.

Han Xuanxuan tilted her head slightly, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes.

She had assumed that Lu Jingxiu had called her over alone to inquire about Li Qingqing and Fu Xingzhou, but she hadn't expected him to start by asking about that.

"I'm already working at a newspaper," she said, taking a seat with her wine glass in hand, a hint of pride in her voice.

"Young and promising," Lu Jingxiu casually complimented, then revealed his purpose, "I want to get to know Chu Jin."

Han Xuanxuan blinked.

Why were all of Lu Shao's questions so unexpected to her?

Why ask about Miss Chu, who just ran out crying after being slapped, instead of Li Qingqing and Fu Xingzhou?

Why is she having trouble keeping up with this train of thought?

and many more.

Suddenly, a brilliant idea struck her, and her mind raced.

Who is Chu Jin? She is Fu Xingzhou's childhood sweetheart.

Who is Fu Xingzhou? He's the new boyfriend who stole Lu Shao's ex-girlfriend.

So why does Young Master Lu want to know about Chu Jin? The answer is obvious.

Young Master Lu is trying to take Chu Jin away to strike at his rival Fu Xingzhou!

What a brilliant move to undermine their strength! What a brilliant move to use their own methods against them!

But...

Han Xuanxuan lowered her voice and gently dissuaded him:

"Young Master Lu, although Chu Jin is Fu Xingzhou's childhood sweetheart, look at the scene today. Fu Xingzhou slapped her in public without giving her any face. This shows that their relationship is probably not as good as the outside world says."

She paused, rested her chin on her hand, and her almond-shaped eyes gleamed with serious thought as she began to strategize: "So, if we try to use Chu Jin to attack Fu Xingzhou, the effect might not be ideal. I think it's safer to start with business."

"I heard that the Fu Group has several projects coming up recently..."

"Stop," Lu Jingxiu raised his hand to interrupt her planning, rubbing his temples with a hint of helplessness. "I'm not interested in Fu Xingzhou, I just want to get to know Chu Jin."

Han Xuanxuan blinked again, then looked up at Lu Jingxiu with some confusion.

If this isn't targeting Fu Xingzhou, then why are you asking about Chu Jin?

Lu Jingxiu did not offer any explanation.

This Chu Jin, although she looks like some kind of female supporting character template.

But she has an undeniable identity: the only daughter of the richest man in Bashi City.

What does the term "richest person in the market" mean? It's not just about being rich.

It also means that the Chu family is very likely a major taxpayer in the market and an important pillar of the local economy. It would be truly foolish to push such a family to the opposite side.

Moreover, seeing how decisively Fu Xingzhou slapped Chu Jin, leaving her completely exposed, he actually felt a little sorry for the girl.

Since Fu Xingzhou doesn't want it, then Lu Jingxiu will.

Of course, I mean the kind of friendship.
