Chapter 826: The Final Victor

Lu Xiang mocked, “Ah Zheng, why don’t you learn from Ah Yan? You have to be humble and careful. Look at you, you can’t take it after losing once. If news of this gets out, outsiders will look down on you.”

Hearing her words, Gu Zheng was not angry at all. Instead, he revealed a meaningful smile.

His tone was indifferent, but it was so cold that it made one’s hair stand on end. “The presales channel hasn’t closed yet. It’s still unknown who will win.”

Instantly, the entire venue was silent. Everyone present was a higher-up of Lu Corporation. They all hoped that Lu Corporation could win this competition, but after Gu Zheng said these words, they suddenly lost their confidence. It was as if the championship belonged to Gu Zheng and no one could snatch it away.

Time flew. There were only 40 seconds left.

Lu Xiang snorted. “Gu Zheng, a loss is a loss. Why is it so hard for you to admit it?!”

Old Master Lu looked up at the data and saw that there were still no problems. He finally relaxed and said earnestly, “Ah Zheng, victory and defeat are common in war. It’s not something embarrassing. You don’t have to take it to heart.

“Now that Ah Yan has won, it proves that he’s more suitable than you to be the heir of the Lu and Gu families.”

Hearing Old Master Lu’s praise, Lu Yan smiled proudly.

Then, Old Master Lu said again, “Ah Zheng, I have to admit that you’ve been managing Gu Corporation very well. It’s indeed very surprising to me, but Ah Yan is a child I raised, after all. I know very well whether he’s capable or not.

“Look at you now. You’ve only lost once, yet you’re silent and ignoring your elders. You have to learn from Ah Yan in this matter. You can’t turn against him after losing once.”

Lu Xiang finally vented her anger and smiled at Lu Yan. Gu Zheng, who had never lost before and who made the entire business world revere him, had completely lost.

Moreover, he had lost to Lu Yan. If news of this got out, where would Gu Zheng’s reputation go?

Qiao Xi looked at the countdown on the screen and smiled indifferently. “Chairman Lu, it’s not time yet. How can you be sure that Ah Zheng has lost?”

Lu Xiang was about to retort when Old Master Lu spoke first, “There are only a few seconds left. Could it be that Ah Zheng can still turn the tables?”

A few seconds passed in the blink of an eye. Everyone stared at the screen and quietly waited for the final outcome.

Everyone from the Lu family was smug. Their smiles were about to reach their ears, but at the last moment…

The smiles on everyone’s faces froze. The data of Lu Corporation disappeared from the screen as if the hundreds of thousands of orders never existed.

After Lu Corporation’s data disappeared, Gu Corporation, which was originally in second place, was pushed to first place and became the champion according to the presales figure.

But what was going on?

Lu Yan’s face was livid as he looked fiercely at his assistant. “What’s going on?”

Cold sweat broke out on Lu Xiang’s forehead as her body went limp. She almost fell. “Impossible! How could such high numbers disappear instantly? There must be something wrong behind the scenes!”

As soon as she finished speaking, the final winner appeared on the screen. It was Gu Corporation.

The entire venue was silent. After a long silence, Gu Zheng slowly said, “I won.”

Silence.

There was dead silence.

In the spacious hall, dozens of people were standing there, but it was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop. Even the sound of breathing had disappeared.

At this moment, the second and third-ranked companies appeared on the screen one after another. Lu Corporation’s name did not appear until after they showed the sixth ranking company.

Lu Corporation was clearly ranked first just now, but now, they weren’t even in the top six. How was this possible?

At this moment, the netizens also started leaving comments: [I’ve already paid the deposit. Why are you suddenly refunding me?]

[What the hell is Lu Corporation doing?! They’re not selling perfumes after causing such a commotion? Are they playing with us?]

[I’ve been waiting in front of the computer to snatch the perfumes! In the end, they suddenly refunded me. They’re really too lousy. I won’t buy Lu Corporation’s products again!]

At this moment, the smiles on the faces of the Lu family had all vanished, replaced by disbelief.

Old Master Lu subconsciously looked at Lu Yan. His face was pale as he shouted angrily, “What exactly is going on? Why did you refund the deposits?”

No one knew what was going on. The entire venue was silent. Everyone was alarmed, and their breathing almost stopped. Only Gu Zheng and Qiao Xi were sitting on the sofa, leisurely tasting red wine and eating the exquisite cakes.
