Against Heaven's Will Chapter 54: Battle of the Schemers

At Wu's call, tens of waiters entered the venue, carrying plates full of delicious-looking food. When Wu began her speech, the musicians slowed down, giving her the scene to shine, but now the music was once again in full resonance.Too bad, no one was willing to be the first one to step out on the dance floor. Instead, all eyes were on two beauties in the middle of the venue, waiting to see what they will do. Youngsters couldn't really start dancing before Nuwa and Wu joined them, right? It was time to entertain them with conversation and befriend them. Unfortunately, the youngsters were mistaken. Nuwa and Wu didn't even look at them and instead turned straight to the senior tables, walking towards the main table while greeting others with a nod of her head. The Queen of Forest Elves didn't have such custom, so she simply tagged along on Wu's side. Being a Queen, it was others who were supposed to bow, not her. Only Xuefeng could make her take a step back and cuddle into his chest, fighting for his favors."That was a great speech Little Wu," President Wu praised as the dominant duo neared, standing up to welcome her. "I didn't expect you would make it so explosive though. I doubt anyone here was prepared. Even me.""Definitely!" Master Dong also stood up, calling out with a big smile on his face. "To think the Trade Union would receive such a beautiful addition to the leadership team. We definitely want to know more about you, knowing we might work closely together in the future."

"Of course, it is only natural, Sir…" Wu replied to the guest, pausing at the end. President Wu was temporarily ignored as a business came first. "I'm Master Dong, the main supplier of raw ore and refined metals," Master Dong introduced himself with a gentle bow. "Nice to meet you, Master Dong. We definitely need to talk more about our Partnership at the party. I want to solve all the problems you face and expand our influence in the Heaven Realm," Wu suggested to which Master Dong immediately agreed. "Perfect! Can't wait to know your view." Turning back to President Wu, she smiled gently and hugged her grandpa as if her love for him was immeasurable. "Thank you, grandpa. Without your help, I don't think I would be able to accustom myself to the changes so fast. I will make sure to use all my time to improve and help lead Trade Union to the brighter world," Wu promised as she pulled away, acting like a filial granddaughter. "Of course…" President Wu nodded, gazing into Wu's eyes as if trying to figure out what will be her next move. "You did such a good job in the Earth Realm that it is only natural that I give you a chance in the Heaven Realm as well. You should sit with us and join our conversations."As he spoke, he called for the staff, instructing them to bring an additional two chairs and sets of cutlery. There was enough space to fit two more people by the table. It was obvious that Wu didn't plan to move anywhere, intending to stay with the seniors. She already announced to everyone that she has a husband, so President Wu couldn't say she didn't. They would both look bad and that was the last thing he would want. When all the plans of getting Wu a new husband failed, it would be useless to meet with her peers, so President Wu didn't seem to pressure her to do that either. Follow current on novel-online.com

Too bad, it wasn't that easy to take control back from Wu. "Yes, I will naturally join you all. As the host of the Celebration Party, I will naturally take care of my most important guests," Nuwa replied before her grandpa could take a seat. "Also, thank you for saving the seat of honor for me."At that point, it was obvious what Wu was doing, causing the guests by the main table to look even more interested in her. They weren't stupid. The main reason for this party's existence was to introduce potential marriage candidates to Wu, yet in a single speech, she canceled all of those plans. On another note, if there was any change in the leadership of the Trade Union, they would also be informed beforehand. Based on President Wu's reaction, they knew it was all introduced by Wu for the first time and wasn't planned at all. How could they not look forward to work together with someone so smart and goal minded?The only woman sitting by the table was already gazing at Wu with an interested look. Her brown locks, coated with a fluffy fur of her scarf gave her a royal vibe, someone of class and money. She didn't speak up but instead quietly observed the situation. "Will you let me sit? Those high heels are not perfectly comfortable to stand." Wu asked pitifully before the new seats even arrived. What grandpa would let her granddaughter suffer in front of everyone while he sits down on his own? "Of course. I can't let my dear granddaughter get hurt," President Wu assured as he patted Wu on the head and stepped to the side. Just as Wu, he was also a master schemer, acting as if everything was planned by him. Follow current on storynovel.net

Wu and Nuwa didn't hesitate to occupy the seat, Wu sitting in the middle while Nuwa taking the armrest. With the variety of food being placed on the table, she put one leg on the other and extended her hand forward. Swoosh!Multiple vegetable snacks flew up in the air and landed on Wu's plate which she temporarily used. Everyone gazed at her surprised as no Qi which they could detect was used in that trick. Nuwa only shrugged as if it was nothing and picked up her plate full of snacks. "Don't mind me, I didn't eat dinner so I'm hungry. You all can start your business talks. If its something interesting I will chime in," Nuwa called out casually, behaving like she was at home. She was a Queen indeed!Wu raised her voice first, continuing to control the flow. "How about we wait for the two chairs and introduce ourselves? I want my grandpa to join us in discussions as his input is extremely valuable to me. I also wish to know everyone better."Wu wasn't that cruel to dominate President Wu till he can't even speak.Give and take!At least for a short while.
