The business world banquet was filled with cheers, but Liu Zixuan and Jiang Yiyi were busy flirting with each other! This behavior made them stand out.
While the two were chatting and having fun, an unfriendly voice rang out next to them!
"Mr. Liu, long time no see, do you still remember me?"
Aunt Ying, accompanied by Tong Yang, came over from one side and asked with a smile.
She had a certain aura of a high-society lady, entirely lacking the oppressive demeanor she had with Liu Zixuan and Wu Mei that day.
Liu Zixuan shook the red wine in his hand, "Oh, when it comes to beauties, I almost never forget a face!"
"Well, I should thank you for the compliment, Mr. Liu!"
"Don't rush to thank me, I haven't finished speaking!" Liu Zixuan switched his tone, teasingly saying, "I never forget beauties but am completely indifferent to those arrogant shrews. Honestly, I really don't remember who you are!"
Liu Zixuan's words caught Aunt Ying off guard. Thinking she came with such a domineering aura to Ghost Wood City, surely a small player like Liu Zixuan would have to curry favor!
Unexpectedly, he insulted her in his words! It was as if she had been slapped by Liu Zixuan without him even touching her!
Before she could speak, Tong Yang next to her chimed in, "How can you talk like that? She is Aunt Ying from the Willow Association."
"Oh wow, Aunt Ying from the Willow Association!"
Liu Zixuan pretended to be very shocked, laughed, then suddenly leaned forward and said playfully, "So what if she is, why should I care!"
"You!"
"That's enough!"
Tong Yang was about to explode, but Aunt Ying interrupted him, looked at Liu Zixuan with a complicated expression, and said, "Liu Zixuan, don't face me with that fearless attitude. I can still see the fear inside you!"
"I, Aunt Ying, always keep my word. I told you all I would seek revenge, and I will. Today is just my first day here; I'll take my time playing with you lot so you can understand the consequences of offending someone you shouldn't!"
Aunt Ying spoke through gritted teeth, indicating that Liu Zixuan's taunt earlier had truly angered her!
Liu Zixuan narrowed his eyes, leaned in closer to Aunt Ying's ear, and said mockingly, "In this world, it's always men on top and women beneath. If you want to overtake me, you've got to have the capital to make me submit!"
After saying this, Liu Zixuan turned around and walked out with Jiang Yiyi.
This kind of business gathering had long soured, so rather than argue with a woman here, it's better to take a beauty out for a stroll!
Watching Liu Zixuan and Jiang Yiyi turn around gracefully, Aunt Ying's face gradually darkened.
Tong Yang asked quietly from the side, "Aunt Ying, should we find someone to deal with Liu Zixuan first?"
"No rush!"
Aunt Ying waved her hand, "In my view, he's just a clown not worthy of the main stage. Let him jump around for a few days; first, we need to arrange company affairs, and take over the Wu Mei family's assets as quickly as possible. I want them to realize that trying to show off in my presence will end in ruin!"
"Understood!" Tong Yang nodded heavily.
...
As Liu Zixuan and Jiang Yiyi were about to get into their car after leaving the Lu Yao VIP building, a waiter called them over.
"Mr. Liu, Sister Wu is waiting for you over there!" The waiter pointed to a nearby Mercedes-Benz business sedan!
Liu Zixuan raised his eyebrows, "I see."
"Shall we go over and chat?" Liu Zixuan asked.
Jiang Yiyi thought for a moment, "Let's go; now that people from the Willow Association have arrived, having an extra ally is always good!"
The two boarded Wu Mei's Mercedes and slowly drove away.
"Why didn't Sister Wu go inside?" Liu Zixuan asked.
"Why should I go in? To court everyone's wrath?"
Wu Mei chuckled lightly, "Aunt Ying came with such a simple purpose, to get back at me. Coming in with such a grand manner certainly makes those wealthy businessmen feel like sucking up to her. Whether I go or not doesn't make much difference!"
"That shouldn't be the case; given your influence here, those wealthy individuals wouldn't necessarily fawn over a newcomer," Jiang Yiyi remarked with a frown.
Wu Mei shook her head, "What are businessmen? They're merely participants in interest exchanges. Between businessmen, there are no friends, no enemies, only interests."
"The Willow Association's strength is known nationwide, while I, Wu Mei, am merely a local player in this little Ghost Wood City. They would certainly suck up to the Willow Association rather than me!"
Listening to Wu Mei's explanation, Jiang Yiyi pouted, "I thought I was already integrated into the business world, but it seems I'm still naive!"
"Not naive. Just look how perfect and mature you've become since wearing our Shu Mei lingerie!" Liu Zixuan chimed in, glancing up and down Jiang Yiyi.
Jiang Yiyi kicked him in frustration, "On such serious topics, can't you stop being a jerk!"
"I'm only speaking the truth." Liu Zixuan shrugged innocently, "Alright then, you're neither mature nor perfect, flat as a board, like the Princess on an airplane runway!"
"You!"
"You two are actually quite funny. Cooperating so well at the venue, but once outside, you quarrel and that's it!"
Watching them chat like that, Wu Mei felt almost as if she was back to her young, dating days, with a refreshing wave of youthful vibe!
"Who's cooperating with him!" Jiang Yiyi mumbled, then turned her head away, unwilling to continue speaking.
Liu Zixuan shrugged, "Sister Wu called me over; there should be other matters, right?"
"Of course, the strong entry of Qianhe Group is bound to cause a major storm in Ghost Wood City. Riding the wave of the business world exchange, they will firmly establish themselves quickly; it's no surprise that they will surely launch an attack on my Lu Yao Group!"
In response to Wu Mei's words, Liu Zixuan chuckled, "Maybe your Lu Yao Group is just their first step, and the second step would be me!"
"Indeed, so this should count as our second cooperation!" Wu Mei said meaningfully.
Liu Zixuan nodded, "Last time it was the Demon Sound Ghost Doctor and Witch Country Ninja, solved with force; but this time's economic warfare won't be as easy-going!"
"Exactly, this is a money war!" Wu Mei laughed; "In fact, sometimes this kind of battle can be quicker than physical fights. A single gesture could completely turn you from a billionaire into a beggar!"
"So, has Sister Wu already prepared a plan?"
At this moment, they arrived at Yunwu Restaurant, in the heart of the city, and sat down in a private room.
Wu Mei took a folder out of her bag and handed it to Liu Zixuan.
"What's this?"
"Take a look; I think you'll find it very interesting!"
