"It's very simple," Mei Shu said. "I hold the entire Mei Group in my hands. Maybe my company doesn't mean much to you now, but someday, I will develop it to a position where it can stand shoulder to shoulder with the Lu family without relying on it."

"Sure, how do you want to bet?" Lu Ting asked confidently, feeling like he already had the upper hand.

Mei Shu also had a plan in mind. "I know you hold the ownership of the Southeastern Island. If I win, that island belongs to me."

Even Lu Li couldn't believe what he was hearing when Mei Shu mentioned the Southeastern Island.
