Shen Zhaozhao really had no idea; having her help check some data was one thing, but running a company was entirely beyond her.
Yet, although she was clueless, she understood that the Company’s going public meant accelerating its growth, expanding its scale, and realizing an increase in corporate value.
This was good news for Zhao Yi, in fact, great news.
Of course, such good fortune wasn’t likely to simply fall into Zhao Yi’s lap. The other party’s subsequent words must be the main point. Pretending to misunderstand, she said, "Oh? That’s really wonderful, Miss Lee is truly a person with both beauty and a kind heart. Then please allow me to thank Miss Lee on behalf of Chuyi and the Company in advance."
Li Shanshan interrupted her, "You don’t have to thank me just yet, I haven’t finished speaking. I said I could help him, but I didn’t say I would help him unconditionally."
Shen Zhaozhao: "Then may I ask what conditions you have for helping him?"
"I want you to leave him," Li Shanshan said in an authoritative tone, "But don’t worry, I won’t let you leave empty-handed, I will give you a sum of money."
Whoa, isn’t this just like the scenes from TV dramas where the rich girl drives away her beloved’s girlfriend with money?
With a twinkle of excitement in her eyes, Shen Zhaozhao asked, "How much money are you thinking of giving me to leave him?" She was experiencing for the first time the sensation of being hit with money.
She just didn’t know how much Sheng Chuyi was worth in the other party’s eyes.
Should she decline directly? Or should she pretend to hesitate before declining?
Thinking Shen Zhaozhao’s excitement was due to her greed for the upcoming money, Li Shanshan’s eyes flashed with contempt. She felt even more that Sheng Chuyi’s tastes were poor. Chin up and with an arrogant look, she said, "Is one million enough? As long as you agree to leave him, I will give you one million."
In TV dramas, isn’t the starting offer usually five million?
It seemed Big Company wasn’t all that wealthy!
Looking disappointed, Shen Zhaozhao said, "That might not be enough. After all, if I marry him, I will own half of his company. I would be the boss of Zhao Yi in the future, not just one million, even ten million or a hundred million, he could possibly earn for me. Taking this one million, I wouldn’t even be able to buy an apartment in Jing City."
"So how much do you want?" the other party asked through gritted teeth.
Shen Zhaozhao: "It would have to be at least ten or twenty million before I’d consider it!"
"Are you insane? Ten or twenty million, why don’t you just go rob someone?" Li Shanshan glared at her with a look that said, ’you’re not even worth that much.’
Feigning surprise, Shen Zhaozhao said, "Why would I rob anyone when someone is adamant about giving me money? Or are you saying that he’s only worth one million in your eyes? That’s seriously underestimating him. In my eyes, he’s a stock with potential. Even ten or twenty million seems too little to me."
Li Shanshan suddenly realized and narrowed her eyes at her, "You’re deliberately toying with me, aren’t you? You never had any intention of leaving him."
Shen Zhaozhao smiled and replied, "You’re right, I indeed have no intention of leaving him. My fiancé has looks, money, and ability. If you were in my shoes, would you leave him for a meager one million?"
Of course, she wouldn’t.
"But you’re simply not good enough for him," Li Shanshan said with a haughty and arrogant demeanor, "Clearly, he could have a better development, a better future. Being with him, you’ll just hold him back, whereas I am different, I’m the one who’s more suitable for him."
