127: 127. The Mysterious Mr. Lu

The surrounding Xu Family members were all a bit shocked.

“Mr. Lu?” Who was Mr. Lu?

It was truly rare for the proud and experienced Old Master Xu to show such an attitude!

Also… did they mishear? A single phone call could wake a comatose patient? Xu Ting’s turnaround, and the changes in the Xu Family… were they all related to this person?

Everyone present exchanged glances, countless questions and speculations churning in their minds, and the name Mr. Lu instantly became shrouded in a mysterious and powerful aura.

Just as everyone in the ward was lost in thought and whispering, “Knock, knock, knock…” a soft knock sounded on the ward door.

The person closest to the door subconsciously opened it.

Outside the door stood several people, led by a composed, middle-aged man in a suit.

He had a refined face and deep eyes, and behind him followed four extremely capable assistants.

“You are…?” the person who opened the door asked.

Yu Tianxiong slowly walked in, his gaze sweeping over the people in the ward before precisely landing on Old Master Xu on the bed, a perfectly appropriate smile on his face, his voice steady and strong: “Old Master Xu, I am Yu Tianxiong, a junior, here on behalf of my Mr. Lu to visit.”

Yu Tianxiong?!

Tingfeng Capital’s Yu Tianxiong?!

Everyone present was not ordinary; they all knew about Donghai Group and Tingfeng Capital’s recent operations.

The Mr. Lu he spoke of… could it be…?!

The ward instantly fell silent!

Everyone’s eyes were focused on Yu Tianxiong, then they looked at Old Master Xu with surprise and uncertainty, and finally, they secretly glanced at Xu Ting and Xiao Dao behind her.

Xu Ting was the first to stand up, exclaiming in surprise, “President Yu, why… are you here? Is it… Little Lu…”

Yu Tianxiong nodded to her.

When Xu Bang saw Yu Tianxiong, a glint flashed in his eyes, and he struggled to sit up further despite his illness.

Yu Tianxiong walked over and smiled, “Old Master Xu, there’s no need to get up. Your recovery is the most important thing right now.”

Only then did Xu Bang give up. He said solemnly, “So it’s President Yu! Please, have a seat! I apologize for my inconvenience! Also, please help me convey… my deepest thanks to Mr. Lu for saving my life!”

“Old Master Xu, you’re too kind. My Mr. Lu will surely be very happy to see you recovered,” Yu Tianxiong replied calmly.

Yu Tianxiong’s appearance, and his undisguised respect for Mr. Lu, completely confirmed everyone’s suspicions!

That mysterious Mr. Lu was actually the true master behind Tingfeng Capital, currently the most prominent force in Jiangcheng!

Old Master Xu took a deep breath and beckoned to his granddaughter, Xu Ting: “Tingting, come here.”

Xu Ting came to his side, and only then did Xu Bang speak to everyone: “This incident has made me understand many things. I am old and muddled, and it is time for me to rest. Hereby, I announce that from now on, I will no longer manage the Xu Family and the group’s affairs. All my shares and all affairs of the family group will be inherited by Tingting. Tingting will officially take over as Chairman and CEO of Xu’s Group.”

Xu Ting’s hand trembled uncontrollably.

The people around also widened their eyes in astonishment. This wave of impact came too suddenly.

One must know that Donghai Group only accounted for half of Xu’s Group, and there were other industries distributed across the country. Old Master Xu was completely handing over power, entrusting the entire Xu Family empire to Xu Ting?!

Xu Ting said with determined eyes, “I will definitely live up to Grandpa’s expectations.”

However, before they could recover from this first wave of shock, Old Master Xu’s next words exploded in their minds like a nuclear bomb!

“Furthermore, Xu’s Group will form a deep strategic partnership with Tingfeng Capital. I will appoint Director Yu Tianxiong of Tingfeng Capital as a special strategic advisor to Xu’s Group.”

“In the future, all major strategic decisions, investments exceeding a certain amount, and asset dispositions of Xu’s Group must be jointly discussed and agreed upon by Xu Ting and President Yu before proceeding. The Xu Family will unconditionally trust and support Tingfeng Capital’s strategic guidance.”

!!!

If the previous transfer of power was shocking, then this decision completely destroyed the sanity of all Xu Family members present!

The ward instantly erupted in an uproar!

Almost everyone looked at Old Master Xu with disbelief!

“This… how can this be?”

“Yes, it’s almost equivalent to partially ceding the Xu Family’s highest decision-making power to Tingfeng Capital. It’s too impulsive.”

“What right does Tingfeng Capital have to meddle in our Xu Family’s affairs? Even if they’ve shown kindness, it shouldn’t be like this.”

“Exactly…”

The Xu Family members looked at Old Master Xu suspiciously, at one point wondering if he was confused by his illness, or… possessed?

Xu Ting was also stunned. Even though she had a good relationship with Lu Feng and was grateful for his help, with such an arrangement, wouldn’t she become his… subordinate?

Xu Ting was puzzled and wanted to ask her Grandpa, but Old Master Xu’s eyes were firm. He lowered his voice, speaking in a tone only the two of them could hear: “Tingting! Trust Grandpa! Grandpa is clearer than ever! Mr. Lu… he is no ordinary person… his stature is beyond our imagination! For the Xu Family to follow in his footsteps and receive his guidance is not a loss, but an immense blessing and opportunity!”

“Oh, and… does Mr. Lu have a partner? If not, you should work harder…”

“Grandpa, what are you talking about?” Xu Ting was a bit helpless, torn between laughter and tears, not expecting her Grandpa to be thinking about this at such a moment.

Although she felt her Grandpa was exaggerating, Xu Ting calmly reflected and realized that she had long sensed Lu Feng’s extreme unusualness.

At their first meeting, she thought he was on the first layer, but he turned out to be on the third. After their cooperation, she knew he was definitely on the fifth. Now… judging by her Grandpa’s respectful attitude, he might very well be in… the stratosphere!

Xu Ting believed her Grandpa wasn’t muddled; on the contrary, having experienced this brush with death, her Grandpa’s vision might be sharper and more forward-looking than ever before.

Therefore, she did not immediately object but chose silence and observation.

Yu Tianxiong was not surprised by this outcome; he had come for this very reason. He spoke at the opportune moment: “Thank you for your trust, Old Master Xu. I believe that with Tingfeng Capital and Xu’s Group working together, we will surely achieve new glories and open a new chapter.”

After saying that, as if remembering something, he chuckled softly, “Oh, right. This time, my Mr. Lu also specifically asked me to bring you a small gift.”

He paused, then dropped a bombshell:

“Mr. Lu asked me to tell you that the new round of urban renewal in Jiangcheng has been confirmed and will be officially announced soon. This round will involve over a hundred billion in shantytown renovation and infrastructure projects… Perhaps Xu’s Group could pay attention to it in advance.”

Buzz—!

These words were like a sudden clap of thunder, once again echoing in the ward!

All the Xu Family members present, including Xu Ting, gasped in cold air!

In today’s information age, an information gap is the biggest wealth gap!

Especially top-level planning information involving huge sums of money and capable of determining the fate of countless enterprises!

Knowing even one day in advance could bring immeasurable advantages and wealth!

The weight of Yu Tianxiong’s casually delivered sentence was enough to drive any business giant mad!

This had already far exceeded the scope of a gift; it was completely a golden touch capable of turning stone into gold!

The power and methods of this mysterious Mr. Lu were simply heaven-defying!!

Old Master Xu’s fingers trembled with excitement. He completely understood how generous Lu Feng’s return gift was. This was not just profit; it was a display of strength and a promise!

He struggled, saying with utmost solemnity, “Th-thank you, Mr. Lu, for your generous gift! The Xu Family… is eternally grateful! We will not fail to live up to Mr. Lu’s expectations!”

At this moment, all the Xu Family members who had previously harbored doubts about the cooperation fell silent, their faces etched with only shock.

They finally understood: how could Old Master Xu be muddled? He was clearly far-sighted!!
