Chapter 84: This is Insane
Meanwhile, CEOs crowded around Yan Feilei, begging for investments.
“Deli, what do you think of these internet companies?”
Beside Yan, a shrewd-looking man pondered.
“They call this the ‘internet winter,’ but I believe it’s prime for investment.”
“Real estate yields too slowly.”
“Yet internet profits are skyrocketing, Shanda’s game point cards alone bring insane revenue.”
“Your Feilei Capital could ride this wave to rapid growth.”
“That woman you pursued, Su Xiaoxiao’s cosmetics company is nearing IPO.”
“Owning internet firms would give you leverage to promote her products.”
“Winning her over would become much easier.”
Three years ago, Yan Feilei lacked sufficient funds when he met Su Xiaoxiao in business.
Her peerless beauty, and more importantly, her virtuous character, had captivated him.
But she was married then, coldly rejecting his advances.
The unattainable only grows more desirable.
This year, he’d received a 7-billion-yuan windfall with steady cash flow.
When Su Xiaoxiao’s divorce news reached him via her best friend Wu Lulu’s husband Yin Deli, he was ecstatic.
Wu was already persuading Su to meet him, with her help, success seemed guaranteed.
“Fine, I’ll invest.”
“Bao Yueqiao, you claim Lianzhong is China’s top casual gaming platform, truth?”
Bao nearly jumped with excitement.
“Absolutely! We average a million concurrent users daily!”
“With funding, we’ll dominate the market, 10 million users easily!”
“Monetization options will bring exponential returns, post-IPO, profits could hundredfold!”
Yan Feilei’s heart swelled.
His family had sent him from Beijing to make fortunes, the internet was a goldmine!
Zhou Hongwei also piled on enthusiasm.
“Our 7348 browser leads the market, backed by Yahoo China!”
Li Mo had always been naturally perceptive when it came to emotions.
Whenever Su Qingyan was in a mood, he could sense it immediately.
Liu Pingping was no exception.
Clearly, she wasn’t happy.
Was it because of Auntie Bai?
But with so many people around, Li Mo didn’t say anything.
At this moment, jealousy churned violently in Liu Pingping’s heart.
In her mind, she was Li Mo’s closest elder, someone he had been inseparable from these past few days.
Their bond had deepened, as if he were her own son.
Li Mo, too, had been exceptionally affectionate toward her, accommodating her every request with thoughtful care.
Almost everything she could think of, Li Mo had already prepared for her.
By now, she had grown accustomed to this role, standing by Li Mo’s side as his mother figure.
But suddenly, a woman her own age had appeared.
A woman just as beautifully preserved as she was, with deep ties to Li Mo.
Liu Pingping already knew about the Mobile Tencent project, Li Mo and that woman, Ji Wanxian, clearly had a complicated history through this collaboration.
Would Bai Lulu end up replacing her in Li Mo’s heart?
That cherished position as the elder by his side?
Not only was Liu Pingping consumed by jealousy, but she also felt a profound sense of crisis.
As they walked, Ma Tengyun’s mind remained unsettled.
Was Mr. Mo some kind of chosen one?
In the stock market, he had raked in 30 million.
In real estate, he had earned 300 million.
Now that he thought about it… it really did seem possible.
His faith in Tencent’s future grew even stronger.
By dusk, Ma Tengyun couldn’t contain his excitement.
“Mr. Mo, the West Lake Summit is about to begin.”
“We should head over soon.”
Since the summit was held by the lake, the distance wasn’t far.
The weather had cooled pleasantly by now…
“Let’s go. It’s time.”
Li Mo set off with the Five Tigers, Liu Pingping, and Su Qingyan.
Su Qingyan remained her usual carefree self, but Liu Pingping was completely different.
Her delicate face was clouded with unhappiness.
Bai Lulu’s sudden appearance had truly shaken her.
Her sense of crisis grew stronger by the minute, she only wanted to be the sole elder in Li Mo’s life.
Soon, they arrived at the West Lake Summit venue.
The grandeur of the scene left Su Qingyan utterly stunned.
“Brother, this is insane!”
Cameras and reporters crowded the lakeshore, every major media outlet was present.
Traditional press, digital platforms, hundreds of journalists had gathered.
She never imagined the summit would be on such a monumental scale.
This was nothing short of an internet industry conference!
