Chapter 12 The Heiress Who Was Rejected from the Engagement
"Is this difficult?" Ling Yi slowly put down her cup and tilted her head to look at Zhou Ziheng.
Even the artificial intelligence of the small world can collect and analyze human information. It's quite reasonable that she, who has analyzed countless small worlds, could expose the Qi family so thoroughly that they have nothing left to hide.
Not very reasonable.
Zhou Ziheng didn't really want to doubt Ling Yi, but the existence of this information was truly terrifying.
He casually flipped through some of the later ones and discovered that there were even changes in the origin of ingredients for Qi family products. He used this to analyze who was in power and who was manipulating things.
It can be said that as long as one has enough financial resources and this textbook, one can easily defeat the Qi family and turn them all into homeless dogs.
Even Zhou Ziheng's henchmen couldn't obtain all of this information, yet Ling Yi said it wasn't difficult.
Zhou Ziheng was charmed by Ling Yi's adorable tilt of her head, and his anxious desire to get to the bottom of things calmed down.
He pressed the document for a while before finally speaking, "So, what does Yi-yi want me to do?"
Wouldn't it be most beneficial for President Ling to receive such information?
Zhou Ziheng seemed to be asking seriously, but his subtle questioning revealed his hidden thoughts.
Ling Yi pursed her lips, not uttering a single word of his increasingly audacious advances.
“If I hand it over to my father, he will only inflict a major blow on the Qi family, or bankrupt them.” She shook her head: “That’s not what I want.”
"What does Yi Yi want?" Zhou Ziheng silently curved the corners of his lips. The naive girl didn't know that some people, once they take a step forward, will never retreat.
He will secretly encroach on every inch of your territory until you adapt to coexisting with him.
“Acquire them smoothly.” Ling Yi tapped the table with her fingertip: “I’ve analyzed it. If these companies suffer an irreversible blow, it will cause nearly six figures in unemployment. Those people shouldn’t have to suffer this.”
Her underlying logic is to avoid harming humans unless absolutely necessary.
Those who live their lives earnestly have never harmed her, nor should they be driven to despair by ridiculous love and hate.
Zhou Ziheng was taken aback, clearly not expecting Ling Yi to say these things.
She was born into wealth, and the greatest grievance she suffered was probably being jilted on the spot, while the greatest hardship she endured was being hospitalized due to poisoning.
Such a person should be so otherworldly that even the dust beneath their feet seems detached from worldly concerns.
But now, she's actually thinking about people who have never even been in her sight.
This is truly...
It's truly surprising and fascinating.
Zhou Ziheng lowered his eyelids slightly, concealing the surging emotions within.
What bad guy could resist the allure of white?
His voice was steady: "Is that all? What about the benefits? What about what you're entitled to?"
Is she so kind that she has lost her edge?
Ling Yi suddenly smiled, her eyes revealing a cunning Zhou Ziheng had never seen before. She asked, "Will Mr. Zhou let me suffer a loss?"
Zhou Ziheng's throat bobbed as he took a sip of tea to mask his emotions before slowly saying, "Maybe? After all, I'm not exactly a good person."
“You won’t.” Clear tea was poured into Zhou Ziheng’s cup, and Ling Yi smiled as if complimenting him: “After reading this information, you definitely won’t.”
Presenting such detailed information to Zhou Ziheng was both an act of assistance and a form of provocation.
Zhou Ziheng, do you dare offend someone who could strip you bare at any moment?
Zhou Ziheng is a daring and ruthless man. He has many ways to make his competitors disappear without ever getting involved in any lawsuits.
However, these methods are clearly not applicable to Ling Yi.
He flicked the thick stack of documents and sighed softly, "Well, Miss Ling has me figured out."
“I’ll give you six, you give me four.” He looked up at Ling Yi, his expression showing no sign of backing down.
He could back down without hesitation during their previous minor squabbles with President Ling, but not this time.
He needs to invest too much energy and resources; if he doesn't reap the benefits, it will all be for nothing.
This makes it impossible for him to be logically consistent, and even less convincing to him and the hyenas who follow him to devour their prey.
Sixty percent is his bottom line when it comes to business.
It was also an answer he knew Ling Yi would be satisfied with.
She was so dazzling and radiant that she didn't need him to peek through his fingers to give her anything; she could use her abilities to get everything she wanted.
Ling Yi smiled and raised her glass: "Deal."
"make a deal."
The sound of porcelain clashing together was crisp and melodious, as if it were some kind of agreement.
Zhou Ziheng stared intently at Ling Yi's slender, white wrist, such a fragile thing that could pull him out of death, and could also pull others into death.
Such warmth, such power, such captivating charm.
hum...
The phone on the table suddenly rang, instantly snapping Zhou Ziheng out of his thoughts.
"Yi-yi, when are you coming back? Auntie has already prepared dinner!" In the quiet room, President Ling's voice entered Zhou Ziheng's ears without any hesitation, leaving him helpless.
He's not some man-eating beast, so why is President Ling so wary of him?
It's really annoying.
After saying something that immediately calmed her father's anxious heart, Ling Yi hung up the phone and looked at Zhou Ziheng.
After the business was discussed, the man returned to his usual unassuming demeanor, smiling as if he were an extremely easy person to get along with.
"Your contract with my father should also be renegotiated." The person who didn't go to the meeting room easily guessed Zhou Ziheng's code of conduct, causing a hint of embarrassment to appear on Zhou Ziheng's handsome face.
Looking back now, his previous attempts to intimidate or curry favor with President Ling were truly arrogant and naive.
A person who is always absolutely certain of victory is about to be kicked out of the Ling family home the moment he steps in, simply because he raised his left foot first.
"I will." The porcelain cup spun between her fingertips before being slammed onto the table with a soft thud.
Zhou Ziheng looked at the person in front of him solemnly, his expression unusually serious: "Not a penny will be conceded, not an inch of land will be spared."
A respected and vigilant partner should be treated this way.
Presumably, upon receiving this news, President Ling will be able to get a good night's sleep while simultaneously cursing him for being crazy.
Ling Yi smiled and picked up her bag, which no longer felt heavy in her hand: "Mr. Zhou, would you like to take me home? My parents are still waiting for me at home."
Very nice.
Zhou Ziheng's fingertips trembled slightly, admitting that he had been misled.
Knowing that this wasn't her true nature, she was still willing to play the fool.
I don't think about why this naive young lady suddenly awakened such a terrifying business talent, nor do I think about the purpose of this disguise.
All he needed to know was that the person in front of him was the one who had pulled him out of death and captivated him.
It's her, it can only be her.
