Chapter 24: Chapter 23 Build Some Connections

Chapter 23 Build Some Connections

Seeing that everyone was staring at her with rage apparent in their eyes, Lily straightened her back and also stared back at every single one of them. With the same beautiful smile plastered on her face, she confidently look into their eyes. Years ago, this family abandoned her at her lowest. Although, Lily was not really doing this on purpose…

Scratch that.

Of course, Lily was doing this on purpose. But she was not doing this because she still hated these people. She was just looking for a little fun ah. Seeing their faces dropped, their mouths agape from shock was actually making Lily really happy. This was just too fun for her, she could do this everyday.

For six years now, Lily had conditioned herself to mask all her emotions and adapt according to the situation. No matter what the situation was, she would still put on a smile on her face while she worked her brilliant mind to scheme and look for the best solution. No doubt, her maternal grandmother, Lilian Facci had been a great influence on her, grooming her to who she was today. In this current situation, she saw an opportunity to earn more money.

Her maternal grandmother had always told her that the best way to win was to make your enemy underestimate you. And the best way to have them lower their guard was to act naïve and stupid. Although this might make them fumed in anger, it was all part of the plan. After all, when people are angry, it would affect their ability to think clearly.

In Europe, most businessmen who had dealings with Lily would know how good she was at making them see red. It wasn't the condescending way she would look at you, nor her catchy comebacks, rather, it was her smile. It made many wonder how a smile, something beautiful, could make people lose their cool. Perhaps if they got to see her smile themselves one day, they would understand.

"Since you cannot afford this amount, then there is no point in continuing this conversation," she added, waking everyone up from their stupor.

"Qin Jinghua, I know that you are somehow associated with someone influential from the business world in Hong Kong," Xuan Hui said. When Yan Guang informed him that Qin Jinghua is the same woman who wanted to sell the donut for an extravagant amount, he already assumed that Qin Jinghua must have somehow got lucky and latched onto someone of influence in Hong Kong.

Seeing her act like a dandy young mistress right now only proved his assumption.

"So?" Lily asked.

"The Xuan family is widely known in the business circle. I'm sure you know that I could easily bankrupt the company that you are working in," Xuan Hui said confidently. Since this woman refused to be sensible, he had to resort to threats.

"What are you talking about?" Qin Fei asked.

"Well… I guess this should not be a secret to everyone. Qin Jinghua here is associated with a business personality here in Hong Kong. Remember the woman who wanted to sell the donut for a hundred thousand dollars?" When Qin Fei nodded, Xuan Hui continued. "That woman was Qin Jinghua."

A flash of disbelief was seen on everyone's face. Since Qin Fei was pregnant, everyone in the Qin family had been pampering her like a child and giving her everything she wanted. But two days ago, Qin Fei had made a ruckus about the woman who disrespected her and asked her father to find the identity of the woman. Everyone was angry on Qin Fei's behalf. Who would have thought that it was actually Qin Jinghua?

"So you are resorting to threats now." Lily smirked. "Well then… I will just have to wait for you to contact my company and ask them to fire me, Master Xuan."

"For now, I will be taking my leave. I don't want to waste any more time here with you all. After all, I have to find someone to marry so that I could get that other half of Grandfather's properties." Lily got up from her seat and roamed her eyes at everyone. "It was nice seeing all of you. I hope not to see any of you ever again."

Then she gave them a smirk before walking out of the door, leaving the furious Qin family behind.

Seeing that Qin Jinghua had left, everyone seemed to have woken up from their daze and started eyeing each other, each waiting for the other to say something. Qin Jinghua had left just like that! It was too quick and abrupt that no one was able to stop her in time!

This was a very surprising turn of events for everyone. Not only had Qin Jinghua returned, she acted like she owned the place and made everyone feel uncomfortable in her presence. Having not seen Qin Jinghua for many years, no one expected to see such a big change in her.

"I want you to dig up everything about a woman named Qin Jinghua. She should be from Europe. Yes… Okay. I understand." Xuan Hui gritted his teeth before ending the call with his personal secretary. How dare Qin Jinghua challenged him?

….

The moment Lily took a step out of the mansion, she immediately put on her shades and sauntered towards her beetle.

"Let's go," she said, after buckling her seatbelt.

"Where to President Qin?" Yang Mi asked.

"I am feeling good today. Let's eat something nice," Lily said while checking her tablet. "Oh... one more thing. I want you to schedule a meeting with Mr. Zhuo of the Zhuo Capital. Tell him it's about the Qin Enterprises."

Seeing Yang Mi nod, Lily continued. "How about that invitation that I asked you before? Were you able to find out about President Zhuo's recent event invitations?"

"Yes, President Zhuo will be attending a fundraising event on the first week of July. It's a fundraising event for various orphanages in Hong Kong. According to my research, President Zhuo seems to pay particular attention to fundraising events with orphanages as the beneficiary. I asked Mr. Kim for his help and was able to secure an invitation for the event," Yang Mi explained.

"Good. Very Good…" Lily nodded. "I'm sure President Zhuo is a very busy man. It might be difficult to schedule an appointment with him on such a short notice. Perhaps I should make use of this upcoming event to build some connections first," Lily thought out loud.

Grandmother Ye had only given her two percent of the shares in Qin Enterprises because she knew that the company was suffering and did not seem to have the ability of recovering. However, Lily had other plans for the company.

Of course, for her to execute her plans, she would need to convince President Zhuo to sell her his shares in Qin Enterprises.

With this in mind, Lily closed her eyes and started to think about possible ways to deal with the infamous President Zhuo of the Zhuo Capital.
