Start inheriting a mercenary group

Although those present were ostensibly focused on the charity event, privately they were still whispering about the rivalry between the two men.

Lu Ting stood in a corner of the venue. He was tall and straight, and his dark suit made him even more handsome.

His gaze is deep and firm, as if he can handle any challenge with ease.

His men stood not far away, ready to obey his orders. Their existence was like a solid barrier, protecting him and Miss Qiao Anlu.

McCarron stood on the other side of the venue, his face gloomy, and his eyes revealed a trace of unwillingness and anger.

He was wearing a well-tailored light-colored suit, but he looked a little out of place at the moment. His eyes glanced in the direction of Lu Ting and Miss Qiao Anlu from time to time, as if looking for an opportunity to challenge again.

The charity activities were in full swing, and the auction pushed the atmosphere to a climax.

Both Lu Ting and McCarron participated in the bidding, and their bids were higher and higher each time, as if they were continuing their competition in this way. The people present looked sideways, and comments started to come and go.

During the charity event, under the gorgeous venue and elegant atmosphere, there was a tense competition hidden.

The battle between Lu Ting and Macallan is like a war without gunpowder, and Miss Qiao Anlu is the key to this war.

The venue was decorated like a palace, with golden decorations sparkling under the lights, a long red carpet extending from the door to the stage, and exquisite flowers and artworks placed on both sides.

The guests were dressed in fine clothes, holding wine glasses, and the sounds of conversation and music were intertwined, creating an atmosphere that was both solemn and relaxed.

However, beneath this harmonious surface, the competition between Lu Ting and Macallan intensified.

Every time their eyes met, sparks seemed to fly. From time to time, McCarron found opportunities to approach Miss Qiao Anlu and tried to whisper in her ear, but every time he was blocked by Lu Ting in time.

"It seems that these two gentlemen are very supportive of today's charity event." The auctioneer joked with a smile.

"Yeah, but they seem to enjoy the bidding process more." Someone echoed.

Lu Ting smiled slightly, his bidding always maintained a certain rhythm and strategy. He was not in a hurry for success, but firmly took the initiative. McCarron seemed a little impatient, and his bids became more frequent and higher.

"Mr. McCarron, it seems that you are particularly interested in this charity event?" Lu Ting said with a smile, but there was a hint of coldness in his tone.

"Of course, I came here to support charity." McCarron answered grandly, but his eyes always lingered on Miss Qiao Anlu.

Lu Ting knew full well that McCarron's entanglement made him unhappy. He held Miss Qiao Anlu's hand tightly, as if declaring his sovereignty.

Miss Qiao Anlu felt Lu Ting's firmness and warmth, and she gently shook his hand to express her support.

The host enthusiastically introduced the auction items, while Lu Ting and McCarron began to compete. They competed to bid, refusing to give in to each other, as if they wanted to fight to the end.

"Lu Ting, why are you so serious? It's just a game." McCarron mocked.

"To me, this is not a game." Lu Ting replied coldly, "There are some things worth fighting for seriously."

Their conversation attracted the attention of everyone present, and everyone looked sideways. Some people started whispering about the rivalry between the two men.

Miss Qiao Anlu stood quietly next to Lu Ting, her eyes always looking at him firmly, as if to say: "No matter what you do, I will support you."

In the end, Lu Ting paid a sky-high price for the most precious item of the night - a famous painting.

He stood up gracefully and bowed slightly to everyone present. His eyes searched for Miss Qiao Anlu's figure in the crowd. When she looked at him, he smiled and raised the lot in his hand to her.

Miss Qiao Anlu felt Lu Ting's eyes and smile, and a warmth surged in her heart.

He stood up gracefully and bowed slightly to everyone present. Then, he turned to look at Miss Qiao Anlu, smiled and said, "This lot is for you."

Miss Qiao Anlu looked at him in surprise, and then smiled brightly. She knew that Lu Ting's words were not only a confession to her, but also a promise and protection to her.

The surrounding guests were discussing the outcome of the fight.

They either laughed at Macallan's overestimation, or lamented Lu Ting's charm and strength.

But no matter what, they all knew that this charity event had become a turning point, not only making the Immortal Armed Mercenary Group more famous, but also making the relationship between Lu Ting and Miss Qiao Anlu deeper.

In the following time, Lu Ting and Miss Qiao Anlu enjoyed the joy and warmth brought by this charity event.

They either tasted delicious food, chatted with guests, or enjoyed wonderful performances. Wherever they go, they are the center of attention.

Macallan was alone in the corner drinking wine. His heart was filled with regret and unwillingness, but he also knew that all of this was caused by his own choices.

And this fight has also become a small episode in their emotional journey, making them cherish each other's existence even more.

When McCarron saw this scene, his jealousy and anger became even more intense.

He clenched his fists, eager to rush forward and knock Lu Ting to the ground. However, he also knew that he was no match for Lu Ting, and acting rashly would only make him more embarrassed.

Just then, a voice broke the silence. It was the organizer of the event who came forward and invited Lu Ting and Miss Qiao Anlu to speak on stage.

Lu Ting nodded slightly and signaled Miss Qiao Anlu to go first. He turned to look at McCarron, with a mocking smile on his lips.

"McAllen, it seems you are not having good luck today." Lu Ting said calmly, "But it doesn't matter, we have plenty of time to play slowly."

After saying that, he turned around and followed Miss Qiao Anlu's footsteps and walked towards the stage. McCarron stood there, watching the two people's backs disappear into the crowd, the anger burning in his heart.

He knows that this battle is far from over, and he must find a way to save his face, otherwise he will never be able to gain a foothold in this circle.

However, Lu Ting did not take McCarron's provocation to heart. He knows that his strength and status are enough to make anyone awe three-pointers.

What he was more concerned about was how to spend this wonderful night with Miss Qiao Anlu and enjoy the sweetness and happiness between the two of them. On the stage, Lu Ting and Miss Qiao Anlu's speeches won bursts of applause from everyone present.

Their decent manners, humble and powerful words made people see that they were the best in their respective fields.

McCarron stood in the audience, watching the two people shining brightly on the stage, the jealousy and anger in his heart became even more difficult to calm down.

He knew that he had completely lost to Lu Ting, both emotionally and professionally.

As the charity event ended, the excitement in the venue gradually dissipated, and guests began to leave one after another.

The lights were on and the night was getting darker, but Lu Ting and Miss Qiao Anlu seemed to be in a small independent world, and everything around them had nothing to do with them.

The night falls and the lanterns come on. In the reception hall, the lights gradually dimmed, and the laughter of the guests gradually dispersed. A grand business reception is about to come to an end.

Lu Ting stood in a corner of the hall, his eyes scanning around the place, a satisfied smile on his face.

I gained a lot tonight. I not only established contact with the business tycoon Mr. Rio, but also obtained some valuable business information. He knew that this information would have an important impact on the future development of the Immortal Armed Mercenary Group.

At this time, a woman in a black evening dress came over. She was the representative of the organizer of tonight's reception.

She walked up to Lu Ting, smiled and said, "Mr. Lu, tonight's reception is about to end. Do you need to arrange a vehicle to take you back?"

Lu Ting turned around, looked at the lady, smiled and said, "Thank you for your concern. I have arranged a vehicle. However, before leaving, I would like to say goodbye to a few important guests."

The lady nodded in understanding. She knew Lu Ting's status and influence in the business world, and saying goodbye to several important guests was an essential etiquette. So, she offered to accompany Lu Ting to say goodbye.

The two of them walked to the other corner of the hall, where several business tycoons and political figures gathered.

Lu Ting shook hands with them one by one and said goodbye, and thanked them for their hospitality and communication tonight. He was humble and sincere in saying goodbye to each guest, earning everyone's admiration and respect.

One of the business tycoons patted Lu Ting on the shoulder and said, "Mr. Lu, I had a great time communicating tonight. If there are any opportunities for cooperation, please be sure to contact me."

Lu Ting smiled and nodded in agreement, and expressed that he looked forward to future cooperation. He knows that these business leaders and political figures are important partners in the future development of the Immortal Armed Mercenary Group.

After saying goodbye, Lu Ting shook hands with the organizer's representatives again to thank him and prepared to leave the hotel. He walked out of the hall and saw that the street outside was already full of vehicles, waiting to see the guests off.

Lu Ting walked to his car, where a uniformed driver was already waiting there.

Miss Qiao Anlu gently held Lu Ting's arm, with a faint smile on her face and happiness shining in her eyes. She looked up at Lu Ting and said softly, "Thank you for what happened tonight."

Lu Ting smiled slightly, looked down at Miss Qiao Anlu and said, "You don't need to thank me, this is what I should do. I won't let anyone hurt you."

The two looked at each other and smiled, each other's hearts filled with the presence of the other.

He opened the car door and got in. The vehicle started slowly and drove away from the hotel.

They got in the car and left the venue, and the car slowly drove into the night. In the carriage, the two held hands tightly, as if they were trying to connect each other's hearts.

As the night gets darker, the scenery outside the car window is constantly changing, but the atmosphere inside the car remains the same. Lu Ting and Miss Qiao Anlu's hearts were filled with expectations and longing for the future.

Lu Ting, who was sitting in the car, closed his eyes and began to review what he had learned at tonight's reception.

He thought about his conversation with Mr. Rio, about the business information he had obtained, and about saying goodbye to several important guests. He knew that tonight's harvest would become a valuable asset for the future development of the Immortal Armed Mercenary Group.

As the vehicle drove, the scenery outside the window gradually blurred. Lu Ting's heart was full of expectations and confidence. He believed that the Immortal Armed Mercenary Group would be able to achieve even more brilliant achievements in the days to come.

"Lu Ting, what do you think will happen to us in the future?" Miss Qiao Anlu suddenly asked.

Lu Ting smiled slightly, looked at Miss Qiao Anlu and said, "I don't know what will happen in the future, but I know that no matter what happens, I will be by your side to protect you."

After hearing Lu Ting's words, Miss Qiao Anlu felt warm in her heart.

The car continued to move forward in the night, taking Lu Ting and Miss Qiao Anlu towards the unknown future.

After returning to the base, Lu Ting immediately called a meeting with his subordinates. He introduced the business information obtained at the reception in detail and arranged for his staff to conduct in-depth analysis and research on this information.

He knew that this information would become an important basis for the future development of the Immortal Armed Mercenary Group.

Lu Ting and his men got busy. They organized information, made plans, and conducted simulation exercises to fully prepare for future cooperation.

The lights in the base were dim and warm. Lu Ting walked into the conference room, took off his coat, and sat on the main seat.

His eyes reveal a calmness and determination, which is a unique temperament he has developed through many years of experience in the business world.

Lu Ting introduced to everyone in detail the business information obtained at the reception, as well as the communication with several important guests.

The subordinates felt excited and inspired after hearing this, and they all expressed their intention to contribute their own strength to the development of the Immortal Armed Mercenary Group.

Core members such as Soap, Yuri, and Xiaoqiang were already waiting there. When they saw Lu Ting coming in, they immediately stood up straight and saluted him. Lu Ting nodded slightly and motioned for them to sit down.

"Thank you for your hard work, everyone." Lu Ting spoke in a low and powerful voice, "We gained a lot from tonight's cocktail party. I think the cooperation proposal proposed by Mr. Rio is worthy of further discussion."

"Mr. Rio is a giant in the business world. If we can cooperate with him, it will undoubtedly be a great help to our development." Zao Yao said. He is Lu Ting's right-hand man, quick-minded and good at analysis.

"Yes, but cooperation also requires caution." Yuri reminded, "We must conduct in-depth research and evaluation on the specific content and methods of cooperation to ensure that there are no risks."

Lu Ting nodded in agreement: "Yuri is right, we can't cooperate blindly. Next, we need to conduct a detailed analysis and study of Mr. Rio's proposal. At the same time, we must also analyze other business information we obtained at the reception. Organize and evaluate." (End of chapter)
