Chapter 724: Chapter 724: Queenly Demeanor
Rong Ling said, "Do you want me to go with you?"
Li Yufei: "No need. I’ll make sure I’m safe."
Rong Ling responded with "Hmm" and kissed her cheek.
...
Manhattan, international conference center.
The Bentley stopped at the entrance.
The driver went around to the back seat, opened the car door, and with two bodyguards escorting, Li Yufei got out of the car slowly.
As she entered the venue, the staff and the conference manager greeted her warmly and respectfully: "President Li! It’s an honor to see you!"
Li Yufei casually asked, "Where is the representative of the other side?"
In this negotiation, the Li Family is the representative of Party A, while Huake is the representative of Party B.
The manager replied, "The representative of Party B is already in the venue."
As he spoke, he handed over simultaneous interpretation equipment.
Li Yufei smiled and politely declined, "I don’t need this equipment."
Her subordinates took the equipment from the manager, put it in their ears, and followed Li Yufei into the venue.
The vast venue was at least a thousand square meters.
From the representative seats of Party B, Li Yufei immediately saw Hua Qianqing sitting at the main seat.
She suddenly thought of something interesting and walked towards Hua Qianqing.
"President Hua."
Upon hearing this voice, Hua Qianqing’s shoulders stiffened. He turned his head, and upon seeing Li Yufei, a hint of confusion flashed in his eyes and quickly disappeared.
He stood up, extended his left hand, and offered it to her: "President Li, I didn’t expect you to arrive so early!"
Li Yufei stretched out her left hand, about to shake hands, but suddenly remembered something, lightly curled her fingers, leaving Hua Qianqing grabbing empty air. He raised his head again, puzzled, looking at Li Yufei.
Li Yufei’s face still held graceful smile, but her gaze slowly fell on his right hand covered by his sleeve. Not long ago, during an unpleasant conversation, he had one of his right hand crippled, and the injury still hadn’t fully healed, limiting his movement.
She smiled, withdrew her left hand, and slowly extended her right hand towards him.
Hua Qianqing’s face twitched fiercely, a cruel shade flashed in his eyes, his facial muscles trembled again, but he sensibly extended his right hand, painfully stretched out his fingers, to shake with her.
Li Yufei pursed her lips and firmly grasped his hand, tightly, the veins on the back of the hand bulging: "President Hua, long time no see."
Hua Qianqing was sweating coldly from the pain. However, with so many people watching, he dared not show his discomfort, just smiled miserably: "President Li, my hand hasn’t fully recovered."
Li Yufei: "Oh? Really."
She lowered her head, examined his coarse hand seriously, back and forth, squinting her eyes: "It’s said that muscle and bone injuries take a hundred days to heal. President Hua, it seems your hand won’t recover easily."
With that, she squeezed again forcefully, even though her hand was small, years of maintaining fitness, her slender hand was no ordinary, immensely strong, Hua Qianqing winced from the pain.
Li Yufei instantly closed in on him, and in a voice tone only audible between the two, coldly asked: "President Hua, as soon as I arrived in the United States, you gave me such a grand gift, Yufei is deeply grateful."
Hua Qianqing began to feign ignorance: "What does President Li mean by these words, Hua couldn’t understand."
Li Yufei smiled: "Of course, President Hua doesn’t understand, also doesn’t dare to understand. If President Hua understood, this matter wouldn’t be so easy."
She paused, her eyes suddenly cold: "President Hua merely lost a hand, yet wants to swap it for my life, or maybe President Hua is breaking promises, to safeguard Huake, therefore wants me dead in the United States?"
Hua Qianqing gazed at her in a bit of shock.
Li Yufei raised her eyebrows, the smile on her face, composed and elegant, yet the gaze like gentle knife, upon closer look, lethal.
Hua Qianqing’s face showed some panic, but was well-covered, nonetheless, couldn’t escape Li Yufei’s discerning gaze.
She calmly looked him in the eyes, transparently seeing through his innermost panic and embarrassment.
Li Yufei said lightly: "President Hua, today’s acquisition hearing meeting, there won’t be any mishaps, right."
Hua Qianqing said: "No... no there won’t."
Li Yufei: "I hope there won’t, otherwise..."
She raised her eyes, her lips gradually curled into a chilling arc: "It should be time for you to experience my methods."
With that, she instantly released his hand, smiling alluringly.
But Hua Qianqing was so shaken by her smile that he broke into cold sweat.
The exchange was brief, yet had clashed several times secretly.
Hua Qianqing had lost utterly.
Li Yufei slightly pursed her lips, restrained the smile, turned around, and looked towards the meeting assistant: "May I ask, where is my seat?"
A blonde-haired, blue-eyed woman came over, speaking with somewhat stilted Chinese: "President Li, let me take you there!"
"Thank you."
Li Yufei followed her to take a seat.
Hua Qianqing sat down in a daze, called for his assistant.
"How have you managed this, why can she still attend this meeting properly?"
The assistant said guiltily, "I don’t know either..."
Hua Qianqing said: "Even if she survived, at least she shouldn’t have come here unscathed! I told you to send people to eliminate her, made such a ruckus, but she returned without a scratch... and it cost me several million US Dollars."
He cursed in rage, said a profanity: "This wretched woman has such large fortune!"
The assistant said: "I heard, as soon as she arrived in the United States, she dismissed the bodyguards, probably to avoid attracting attention, thus I took the chance. During this period, she has been with a man named ’Rong Ling’. Heard that she went, but didn’t enter the venue, otherwise, she sat in that position, she would’ve been turned into a sieve long ago. There’s no way she’d be so arrogant now!"
Hua Qianqing: "I knew it, killing her isn’t that easy!"
He paused, suddenly thought of something: "You said, that man named ’Rong Ling’, what’s his background?"
The assistant: "They have been together these few days, probably... her lover kept in the United States."
Hua Qianqing immediately sneered: "As they say, men with money become corrupt, women with money also can’t bear loneliness that much! Who knows how many young men she’s keeping outside. Truly shameless! Lowly!"
Li Yufei suddenly turned her head.
Hua Qianqing was frightened to silence immediately, fearing she overheard him cursing her behind her back, but soon, Li Yufei just glanced at the entrance, then turned back again, false alarm!
Hua Qianqing felt somewhat jittery, at that distance, could that woman have such sharp ears!
He, a big man, could be scared silly by a little woman!?
Ten minutes later.
The meeting participants all arrived.
Li Yufei, as the representative of Party A, was given priority to speak on stage.
"Ladies and gentlemen, good morning, thank you for attending this hearing meeting about Dishen’s acquisition plan of 3129 billion for Huake. As the Chief Executive Officer of Dishen Group, in the content of this meeting, I will present forward-looking statements, that is predictions for future events, and other statements."
