"I'm sorry, w-what did you say?"
In the room, Robert raised his head in surprise and looked at the young girl sitting on the chair. Xia Luote's cold expression didn't change as she spoke again.
"Your management rights in Ossel Avenue have been revoked. Please move out within three months, or we will enforce it."
"W-wait, Young Miss, you've seen our financial report this year. What's going on? You want us to move out?"
The middle-aged man asked in confusion, but all he got in return was a cold gaze from the young girl.
"The data is indeed good, and the revenue is also real, but whether the money is still in your company is another matter, right?"
Xia Luote's words shook Robert, but with his many years of experience in the business world, the man's expression was still strong. He was about to open his mouth to explain, but he was stopped by the young girl.
"Alright, you don't need to say anymore. Don't you understand? You don't have the aura of wealth on you, let me see why … Oh, is it because of gambling? "
The brown-haired young girl took the document from the maid and glanced at it. There wasn't a hint of surprise on her face, but opposite her, Robert's expression had completely changed.
It was rumored that the Sorofia Tribe could turn stone into gold. Anyone with a bit of knowledge would know that this was just a rumor, but this rumor wasn't groundless. It had a basis in reality, and that was the Sorofia Tribe's legendary ability to sense the aura of wealth.
Whether it was technological investments with countless variables, or business collaborations full of fraud and traps, the Sorofia Tribe, who inherited the blood of the Highland Elves, only needed to find the side with the strongest aura of wealth to be invincible.
And today, Robert was fortunate enough to be the test of this ability. After being easily seen through by Xia Luote, he wanted to say something, but the young girl didn't give him a chance. The frosty young miss waved her hand and the people on both sides immediately came forward to chase him out.
"Young, Young Miss, please give me another chance! I, I promise that this year, I won't … "
Before Robert could finish his words, he was dragged out. The merchants waiting in the living room all watched the scene unfold before them.
"That's the Luo Sha Merchant Guild."
"Hmph, last year's newcomer, he thought he could fool Young Miss. What a fool."
"Yeah, in the eyes of Lady Xia Luote, any little tricks are futile. That's a miracle that only appears once in a hundred years."
The experienced merchants conversed with each other while the newly nominated merchants eavesdropped on their exclamations. The brown-haired young lady also let out a sigh behind the tightly shut door.
"It's not a problem of next year. You don't have the smell of wealth on you anymore. Poverty is inevitable."
The young lady seemed to be talking to herself as she answered Robert's question. The female servant behind her stepped forward and respectfully said, "Sir, I'm sorry.
"This is the fate of all gamblers who are addicted to gambling. Young Miss, you don't have to take it to heart. How about taking a break for a while?"
"… Hmm, that's fine."
Xia Luote replied tiredly after a round of examination. The servants who received the order immediately got to work. The solemn office furniture was removed, the color of the roof began to fade and gradually turned into a transparent skylight. The relaxing potted plants were placed one by one according to the designer's instructions. There was a single table for afternoon tea, top-grade Xigong tea brewed by a professional, and desserts made by a famous dessert chef.
In just a few minutes, the room transformed from a solemn study into a sunny and lush courtyard. Xia Luote's long brown hair glistened under the sunlight. The sunlight that filtered through the roof's special material greatly reduced the damage to her skin, so she didn't need to use an umbrella.
"Phew … By the way, Ge Leisi, how's the development of the Land of Chaos?"
After drinking the tea, the young girl thought of something and looked at the black-haired maid beside her. Ge Leisi stepped forward.
"Young Miss, the progress there is still very slow. The environment is too unstable, and we don't have enough manpower."
"I see."
Xia Luote replied helplessly. She didn't blame her subordinates, but rather said that this result was within her expectations.
Xia Luote Sorofia, the current head of the Sorofia Family and the beloved daughter of the president of the Sorofia Merchant Association, Bruce. She was ten years old this year, and in the eyes of the outside world, she was one of the noblest people in the world. She was known as the princess without a title.
However, this was only on the surface. In fact, behind these seemingly beautiful titles, there was a more real and serious title, and that was the next generation of the family.
Xia Luote had an extremely rare atavistic bloodline. She inherited the legendary beauty and some of the abilities of the Highland Elves. In the hundreds of years of Sorofia's history, there were only a few family heads who could barely stand shoulder to shoulder with her.
However, great power often came with great responsibility. Xia Luote had been involved in the family business since she was seven years old, relying on her ability to sense wealth. Up until half a year ago, her involvement in the family business was still considered ordinary. Her involvement in the family's decisions, be it in terms of importance or scope, was not great. However, ever since Bruce obtained a strange oil lamp, he began to put great pressure on her in the name of nurturing her.
Each decision was more important than the last, and there was a dazzling array of development plans. This year, Bruce even threw two major family projects to Xia Luote and let her choose one.
The development of the Land of Chaos, Tanson, and the development of the coastal Twin Horns Port.
