Li Jin took a sharp breath, “Two hundred million? Are you kidding me?”
Lin Mi looked at Li Jin calmly, with no hint of joking. “I’m talking about the market situation. If you want to deal with Li Zhe, perhaps you should think about whether you have enough money first.”
Li Jin gritted her teeth, surprised at how expensive Li Zhe was. Two hundred million? Even if she sold herself a hundred times, she wouldn’t be worth that much.
But if Li Zhe died, she would have that much money.
The entire Li Industries was worth nearly tens of billions.
Li Jin was in a dilemma.
On the other side, Lin Mi said with a smile, “Director Li, there’s no rush. You can take your time. By the way, there’s a business banquet tonight. You need to get ready later. It’s your first appearance as the heir of the Li family in front of everyone. It’s different from the parties you used to attend.” Lin Mi dutifully carried out her responsibilities as a secretary.
Unable to resolve the matter of Li Zhe, Li Jin’s mood was not good. Impatiently, she said, “1 got it, you can go now!”
Lin Mi smiled in response and then stepped back, leaving Li Jin’s office in an orderly manner.
Li Jin calculated her current savings. She didn’t even have enough money to hurt Li Zhe’s hand. She felt extremely frustrated.
This frustration persisted until she was respectfully escorted to the banquet hall, where she was surrounded by many people flattering her. Only then did Li Jin slowly relax her brows.
In Hai City, Li Industries was a well-known large enterprise, and with the recent high-profile events involving Li family, many people had already seen Li Jin’s face.
When they learned that Li Jin was not yet married, many company presidents brought their sons to the banquet. What was supposed to be a regular business dinner almost turned into a blind date for Li Jin.
Li Jin enjoyed the feeling of being adored, like an emperor choosing a concubine. It seemed that she could have any man she wanted.
Ye Min watched Li Jin, the center of attention, and quietly sipped her drink.
This time, she came to Hai City for business opportunities related to a project.
Ye Min had heard some things about the Li family in Hai City these past few days. She didn’t expect to encounter Li Jin so soon.
Thinking about the conflicts between Li Jin and Shen Xi in Beijing, as well as the closeness between the Ye family and Shen Lu families, Ye Min prepared to avoid Li Jin.
Now that Li Jin’s momentum was strong, she didn’t want to jeopardize the smooth progress of this project because of her.
So, upon seeing the target, Ye Min decisively approached and greeted,
“President Tao, what a coincidence to meet you here!”
President Tao turned to the unfamiliar Ye Min, asking in confusion, “Who are you?”
“l am Ye Min from New Leaf Real Estate. We met when my mother and I were with you during the project in the western suburbs of Beijing.” Ye Min warmly introduced herself.
President Tao, as if recalling something, smiled and said, “Oh, I remember
now. You’re President Ye’s daughter. Why are you in Hai City?”
“It’s just my mother’s idea to let me explore the world on my own. There happened to be an invitation to this business banquet, so I came to take a look. Unexpectedly, I ran into you.” Ye Min flashed a warm smile to bridge the distance.
Ye Min and President Tao exchanged pleasantries before moving to the side to chat.
Since the project hadn’t been secured, Ye Min felt the need to communicate with President Tao about the reasons.
Meanwhile, Li Jin, with a proud gaze, scanned the surroundings. She didn’t expect to encounter an old acquaintance in Hai City. Her eyes sparked with interest, and without hesitation, she dismissed the men and women around her, heading in Ye Min’s direction.
Li Jin’s haughty att.i.tude visibly displeased some of the nearby individuals. Lin Mi, as a secretary, could only apologize with a smile as she followed behind.
As Li Jin approached Ye Min and the man, she overheard Ye Min saying in a pleasing tone, “President Tao, for this project, when do you think we can sign the contract?”
President Tao was satisfied with the concession Ye Min had just made and was about to respond when he heard a voice from behind, “President Tao, I heard that you have a good project. I wonder if Li Industries has the opportunity to partic.i.p.ate?”
President Tao instinctively turned to look, only to see the girl known as the heiress of Li Industries smiling at him..
