With a few steps, Li Jin approached Ye Min and leaned in, whispering arrogantly in Ye Min’s ear, “Ye Min, don’t blame me. Blame yourself for befriending people I dislike. I can responsibly tell you that as long as you continue to a.s.sociate with Shen Xi, you won’t get any projects in Hai City, and I can even sabotage many good projects for you in Beijing. Your New Leaf Real Estate will disappear from Beijing.”
Ye Min’s lips curled up with a hint of a smile, “We shall see, Lee Jin.”
Li Jin didn’t expect Ye Min to be so defiant at this point. Indeed, people a.s.sociated with Shen Xi were tough nuts to crack, unable to see the bigger picture.
Li Jin straightened up, looking at Ye Min coldly, and chuckled, “Alright, let’s wait and see!”
With that, Li Jin left with her entourage, and others followed suit.
President Tao glanced at Ye Min, sighed, and left.
Lin Mi nodded politely to Li Jin, smiled slightly, and then turned to leave.
Those who were socializing with Ye Min before now wished they were far away from her, fearing that Li Jin would implicate them because of Ye Min.
Ye Min gently swirled the red wine in her gla.s.s and then drank it all in one go.
In business, losing a project was normal, but Li Jin genuinely irritated her.
Ye Min placed her gla.s.s on the table and looked toward Li Jin’s direction. Their eyes met, and both of them smiled.
With a smug expression, Li Jin observed Ye Min’s departing figure. The champagne in her hand swirled with increased vigor. However, before she could bring it to her mouth, she was b.u.mped by someone, causing the champagne to spill on her expensive couture dress, leaving dark stains.
Without hesitation, Li Jin fiercely slapped the girl in front of her and shouted,
“You blind fool!”
Stunned, the girl stood still, unable to react for a while.
She didn’t know what had just happened. Her knees suddenly went weak, and she fell onto Li Jin, colliding with the champagne in Li Jin’s hand.
It wasn’t intentional, but Li Jin slapped her in front of everyone. The girl felt extremely wronged but dared not utter a word.
Witnessing her daughter being slapped, the girl’s mother wanted to speak up, but her husband held her back. They couldn’t afford to offend the Li family.
The girl’s father stepped forward and bowed to Li Jin, “My daughter was reckless and b.u.mped into Director Li. I apologize on her behalf.”
Li Jin coldly stared at the middle-aged man bowing to her and lightly chuckled, “It’s your daughter’s fault, not yours. I won’t accept your apology.”
Li Jin believed that since the girl b.u.mped into her, the girl should personally apologize.
Watching her peers submit to her, Li Jin felt a sense of superiority.
The girl’s father immediately pulled the girl, pressing her head down, and sternly said, “Clumsy girl, apologize to Director Li!”
With teary eyes, the girl obediently apologized to Li Jin, “I’m sorry. It’s my fault. I didn’t see Director Li and b.u.mped into you.”
Li Jin looked at the disheveled girl crying in front of her, feeling a bit satisfied.
Having power was indeed awesome. Regardless of right or wrong, it could make the other party bow and apologize.
Li Jin then smiled and said, “It’s alright. Just remember to watch where you’re going next time, If you b.u.mp into someone you can’t afford to offend, your whole family won’t be able to compensate!”
The girl’s father secretly breathed a sigh of relief and nodded submissively.
Later, accompanied by the attendant, Li Jin left the banquet hall to change her clothes.
As people watched Li Jin’s departing figure, a wave of sighs swept through the crowd.
Even the frivolous Li Zhe and the cunning Meng Yu hadn’t been so supercilious.
Those who had planned to form a marriage alliance with the Li family instantly changed their minds. If their sons really married Li Jin, their lives would be miserable.
Given their modest backgrounds, they couldn’t afford to be a.s.sociated with someone of Li Jin’s stature.
However, they had inquired before. Li Jin’s grandfather, Li Dan, was a renowned calligrapher and painter in Beijing, and her parents were also engaged in literary and artistic work. Li Jin could be said to come from a cultured family.
According to the information they had gathered, although Li Jin wasn’t an exceptionally outstanding girl, they hadn’t heard of her being so arrogant and overbearing.
How did her personality turn out like this? This was truly unexpected..
