West Fourth Loop, Ye Lai Xiang.

Catherine was in her room, in a serious dilemma.

“Report… Don"t report… Report… Don"t report…” Actually, according to Catherine"s original purpose of coming to Hong Dali, she naturally had to report everything regarding Hong Dali. But the problem was that she was a truly a little hesitant now.

Through these short few days of interaction with him, Catherine realized that Hong Dali was actually an extremely simple person.

He squandered happily in a carefree manner, was polite to others, and never looked down upon anyone. Moreover, he was very caring towards the people around him. These few days, Catherine had heard that back then, Hong Dali had spent more than 5 million to get rid of the Cabinet Society overnight for the sake of Ling Xiaoyi"s brother, Ling Mufeng. Needless to mention about the other small matters. Anyway, Catherine believed that if something should happen to her, Horace would definitely not be willing to spend 5 million USD for her.

But the problem now was that the two of them were from two different camps. Catherine truly didn"t have much of a choice, and after struggling internally for quite some time, she finally made the determination to report the matter regarding Hong Dali and Ko Gohon"s encounter. But as for Lin Chuyin"s side… Catherine chose to hide it.

After thinking it through, Catherine instantly felt a huge sense of relief. She picked up her phone and called Horace. “Sir, it"s me.”

Horace"s voice traveled from the other end of the call. “Is everything okay, my lady.”

“It"s fine, currently there"s a progression of matters regarding Hong Dali.” Catherine said, “Hong Dali and the young master of the Toyoda Conglomerate, Ko Gohon, have met each other. The atmosphere between the two is rather unfriendly, and currently, it can be confirmed that their relations.h.i.+p has become hostile, to the extent where this almost can"t be changed.”

“Things have become hostile between Hong Dali and Ko Gohon?” Horace kept quiet for a while, and then decisively said, “Looks like our plan needs to be changed. Catherine, you continue to report to me. What I mean is, from now on, you have to pay more attention to Ko Gohon"s side as well. This will make it easier for us to a.n.a.lyze the difference between the two persons" ways of doing things. Toyoda Conglomerate is not an ordinary small organization, we can"t take it too lightly.”

“Alright, I"ll try my best.” Catherine took in a breath and thought to herself, This time, the trip to Heavenly State is really filled with obstacles. G.o.d knows what more will happen in the future, sigh…

Of course, though she thought so in her heart, she didn"t dare to say it out loud. Catherine asked again, “Then, sir, for Lucifer"s side…”

“You don"t need to worry about Lucifer"s matters.” Horace said with a deep voice, “Unless there"s no other choice, I don"t wish to let him out too. Currently, your attention should still be placed upon Hong Dali and Ko Gohon.”

“OK, I got it.”

After hanging up the call, Catherine despondently shook her head. Her mission was tough.

In the meantime, on the other side of Tianjing City.

In a private room of the five-star Haomen Hotel.

Ko Gohon stared at Tai Yajing in front of him, as he smiled and said, “Miss Yajing, you don"t need to be so nervous. I"ve invited you here today to talk to you about suggestions related to our collaboration. I"d like to hear your views.”

Though Ko Gohon said that she needn"t be nervous, Tai Yajing definitely didn"t think that way. This Ko Gohon was the young master of Toyoda Conglomerate, and he was the only certain successor of Toyoda Conglomerate in the future. Towards this type of figure, she naturally couldn"t take him lightly.

“En… I"m not sure about what young master Gohon means by collaboration…” Tai Yajing"s heart palpitated as she carefully asked.

“I plan to invest 50 million USD to groom Miss Yajing into the most popular female celebrity in Heavenly State. What do you think about that?” As expected, Ko Gohon was someone with a powerful enough backing. He could offer 50 million USD at once.

It could be said that this price would not be considered a small sum of money to any celebrity.

Unfortunately, from what he said, Tai Yajing sensed that he had other intentions. She said in a soft voice, “Currently, the publicly known most popular celebrity is Miss Li Nianwei. Is Young Master Gohon so confident to be able to defeat her?”

Though Li Nianwei had debuted later than the rest, it was indisputable that she was definitely the number one in the Heavenly State entertainment industry. Even though she, Tai Yajing, had debuted two years earlier than Li Nianwei, but it had to be admitted that she wasn"t on the same level as Li Nianwei.

“Of course.” Ko Gohon smiled. “A 50 million USD investment is enough to repackage you from head to toe, from the fan club, Weibo, and various ranking charts in Heavenly State"s entertainment business. If it"s not enough, I can add in more investments. What does Miss Yajing think about this?”

“This…” It had to be admitted that this price that Ko Gohon had offered was already enough to make any female celebrity offer to repay him by marrying him.

Tai Yajing was a female celebrity too. It was naturally impossible that she wouldn"t be attracted to such a price. But what Tai Yajing thought was instead another aspect. “Young Master Gohon wants to… compete with Young Master Dali?!”

“Oh?” Upon hearing Tai Yajing"s words, Ko Gohon was instantly amused. “How did Miss Yajing come to this conclusion?”

“It isn"t something easy for any celebrity to help Young Master Gohon earn back 50 million USD.” Tai Yajing slowly said, “I"m confident that it"s definitely impossible that Young Master Gohon has laid his eyes upon me and wants me to become the young madam of the Toyoda Conglomerate. Moreover, when I just came, I heard your subordinates addressing you as Young Master, thus I got to this conclusion. It"s just that I don"t know whether what I"ve just said is right?”

“Hahahaha!” Upon hearing Tai Yajing"s words, Ko Gohon instantly roared with laughter. “Miss Yajing is a smart person. I admire this very much. You"re right, I"ve come to Heavenly State this time in order to decide victory and defeat between me and Hong Dali. In this world, there can only be one person that can be addressed as Young Master. Me.”

After he said this, Ko Gohon smiled and looked at Tai Yajing. “What are Miss Yajing"s thoughts regarding this? If 50 million isn"t enough, I"m willing to invest 100 million USD. And I can guarantee that you don"t need to earn a single cent for me.”

Initially, Ko Gohon thought that the terms he had offered were already generous enough. But he never expected that Tai Yajing would actually shake her head with absolute certainty. “I"m very sorry. Your terms and conditions are truly attractive, but I cannot agree to them.”

“Oh? Is there a reason why?” Ko Gohon curiously asked, “Can you say it? Is it because of the nation"s standpoint? Or because you"re not confident of your ability? Or you feel that my team isn"t capable enough?”

“No, that"s not the case.” Tai Yajing shook her head. “I can"t say the exact reason. Perhaps Young Master Gohon can treat it as a woman"s instinct. I"m quite tired with the entertainment business now, and perhaps I might even exit from the entertainment business very soon.”

“Just because of this?” Ko Gohon frowned slightly. He then asked in a deep voice, “Miss Yajing, are you not jealous? Are you not jealous that Li Nianwei is so popular now? Are you not jealous that she"s going to replace you?”

“Of course, I"m jealous.” Tai Yajing smiled. “But in our Heavenly State, there is instead a saying that I agree with very much called: ‘It"s important to know one"s own limitations."” As she spoke, she stood up and said, “I"m really sorry to disappoint Young Master Gohon.”

As she spoke, she turned and left.

“This woman is really unexpected.” Ko Gohon touched his chin and mumbled for a while, then he gestured and said, “Come in, help me check whether there are still any suitable candidates.”

The bodyguard outside came in very quickly and said, “Young Master, there is still a suitable candidate in the nation. She"s called Min Feiyao. She"s quite capable, and her looks are of top quality. Most importantly, she regards money as very important.”

“En.” Ko Gohon slowly said, “Then change it to this Min Feiyao, help me contact her.”

“Yes, Young Master.”

As Tai Yajing walked out of the main door of the hotel, a figure appeared from a corner. It was exactly the playboy Liang Yifeng that had some relations with her previously!

Liang Yifeng walked towards Tai Yajing, smiled and said, “Yajing, what did that little devil find you for?”

“He offered 50 million USD to make me the number one female celebrity in Heavenly State.” Tai Yajing shook her head and smiled gently. “Truthfully, this offer was truly attractive. If it had been the old me, I might have agreed.”

“Hehe, that means you rejected?” The two of them talked while walking, and Liang Yifeng smiled and said, “Can you tell me the reason?”

“Of course.” Tai Yajing gently hugged Liang Yifeng"s arm and said softly, “Do you remember that 200,000 that you won that time?”

“Of course, I haven"t spent it up till now.” Liang Yifeng said in shock, “It"s because of this?”

Tai Yajing lifted her head, looked at the full moon in the sky, and suddenly changed the topic. “Yifeng, can you walk with me for a while?”

“No problem.” Liang Yifeng shrugged. “I feel that you have something troubling you today.”

“Perhaps.” Tai Yajing and Liang Yifeng walked in the direction of Tianjing City"s Hucheng River. After walking to the riverside, they found a place to sit down. Tai Yajing softly said, “Yifeng, I didn"t believe in fate previously, but now I do.”

“Oh?” Liang Yifeng curiously asked, “How is this related to fate?”

“It could be said to be a woman"s instinct.” Tai Yajing slowly said, “This time, Ko Gohon said he"d invest at least 50 million to package me. Initially, this should be a great opportunity for me. As long as I agree to it, perhaps I will be able to become the most popular female celebrity in Heavenly State again, and crush Li Nianwei under my feet.”

“En, that"s true.” Liang Yifeng nodded. “Ko Gohon is preparing to go head-on against Dali. The first person that he"s going to tackle will be Li Nianwei. By defeating Li Nianwei, it"ll truly be a huge setback to Dali.”

“Yes.” Tai Yajing nodded. “His offer was truly hard to resist. I practically don"t need to make any effort, and there will be a professional team investing a large sum of funds on me. 50 million USD, even 100 million. That"s already huge. But just now, I suddenly realized that my heart was beating very rapidly. That was not the excited kind of heartbeat, it was because of fear.

“Because I suddenly realized, how do I even deserve such huge support? Just because he"s planning to compete against Young Master Dali?”

“I was very scared. Back then, my instincts told me that once I agreed, there"d definitely not be any good outcome. So, very oddly, I rejected. After I came out from there and calmed down, I finally understood the reason.”

“What"s the reason?”

“Anyone who opposes Young Master Dali will not have any good outcome. I firmly believe in this.”
