The moment Deng Yihan received the money, she was stunned, then overjoyed. She had only seized an opportunity to disrupt the South China Sea navy, to expose and oust certain individuals.
But soon she understood the source of the funds and sighed inwardly. "The efficiency is truly remarkable..." As expected of Song Qiao! Thinking this, Deng Yihan chuckled softly.
Just then, she received a call from Song Qiao, inviting her over. "Isn't that a bit inappropriate?" Deng Yihan blinked, going to his home directly? Song Qiao smiled, seemingly anticipating her hesitation. "It's to celebrate the smooth execution of the plan. Besides you, Mo Ling and Ye Zhiwei will also be here. Consider it a chance to get acquainted."
With that, Deng Yihan had no real reason to refuse. She readily agreed, setting a time. The appointed time was quite soon. After briefly handling her current tasks, Deng Yihan headed directly to Song Qiao's residence.
Upon her arrival, she found the other two women had already arrived and were discussing work matters with Song Qiao. Seeing Deng Yihan, Song Qiao stood up and greeted her with a smile. "It's alright, you all continue your discussion."
"We are discussing this plan as well, Yihan, would you like to join us?" Deng Yihan smiled softly, her eyes curving slightly, and nodded. "Of course."
With Deng Yihan joining, Song Qiao found himself with some leisure. However, he didn't expect the conversation between the three women to drift, and soon Deng Yihan brought up her family's automobile manufacturing. She then set her sights on Ye Zhiwei.
"Ms. Ye, are you interested in the automobile manufacturing industry?" Ye Zhiwei was taken aback by the sudden question. She furrowed her brow slightly, thought for a moment, and gently shook her head. "Let's pass. I think such a high-investment industry is not suitable for now. Ye Corporation doesn't want to participate in money-burning industries yet."
Money-burning? The words stunned Deng Yihan. She couldn't help but cover her mouth and let out a chuckle, her eyes blinking. "Ms. Ye, you're thinking too terribly. This industry isn't as difficult as you imagine. If you're willing, you can directly invest."
As she spoke, she noticed Ye Zhiwei looking thoughtful, weighing the pros and cons. "Our Deng family will never betray our friends, rest assured. Besides, Song Qiao is here as a witness. Furthermore, you just helped us out so much; we would never repay kindness with enmity."
Her words struck a chord. Ye Zhiwei, who had been worried, suddenly her eyes lit up as she looked at Deng Yihan. It was clear that Deng Yihan's invitation meant she was confident of making significant profits.
These words carried multiple implications. Ye Zhiwei immediately asked, "So, does your Deng family have a plan?"
"Yes," Deng Yihan smiled faintly. "We're planning to hold a car exhibition in Xijiang City. If you're interested, Ms. Ye, you can come. With your presence, I believe the exhibition will be quite lively."
Listening to the conversation between the two women, Song Qiao raised his eyebrows in surprise. This was essentially a gift from Deng Yihan. Just as Song Qiao was about to comment, Ye Zhiwei spoke without hesitation. "In that case, thank you. I accept."
Ye Zhiwei's prompt acceptance surprised not only Song Qiao but also Deng Yihan, whose eyes widened in bewilderment. So quickly? Didn't she need more time to think?
Facing their gazes, Ye Zhiwei chuckled softly and whispered to Deng Yihan, "The Deng family's reach extends to Nanyang, bringing in considerable revenue. And, you already have mature technology and talent, don't you?"
"How did you know?" Deng Yihan was stunned. She hadn't mentioned it yet; how did Ye Zhiwei guess? But then Deng Yihan understood. Indeed, organizing a car exhibition was no small matter. Without mature technology and talent, how could they possibly support such an event? Thinking this, Deng Yihan smiled.
Ye Zhiwei pursed her red lips and smiled back. After a moment, Ye Zhiwei said softly, "It wasn't hard to guess. And if the money is this easy to make, why wouldn't we make it?"
Mo Ling, who had been silent throughout their conversation, suddenly looked intently at Deng Yihan, who had been leading the discussion. Such boldness, she realized, meant this young woman was no ordinary person. Song Qiao's associates were indeed extraordinary; even a young girl possessed such influence.
Song Qiao watched them, feeling pleased. However, he saw that Mo Ling seemed a little out of place now that the two women had reached an agreement. He thought for a moment and then, smiling at Mo Ling, said, "You could ask if there's anything you can collaborate on. The Deng family's industries are quite extensive. Perhaps you could strike a deal too."
Mo Ling couldn't help but roll her eyes. Ye Zhiwei let out a chuckle, and Deng Yihan laughed heartily. After considering for a moment, and to Mo Ling's astonishment, Deng Yihan nodded seriously. "I think it's possible. After all, we're all in the same boat. Making money together, what's not to love?"
Looking at the gazes of the two women and Song Qiao, Mo Ling fell silent for a long time. She shook her head, her voice soft. "Forget it. I don't have many desires. I'm quite content as I am. If you need any help, I can offer it. But collaboration, I'll have to pass."
Song Qiao nodded. Deng Yihan was about to say something more, but seeing Song Qiao shake his head, she stopped. Song Qiao understood. Because of Li Bingqing, Mo Ling had changed significantly from her past self, appearing much more subdued.
Although Mo Ling's venture didn't materialize, Ye Zhiwei had succeeded and signed a contract with De Lu Company! Song Qiao smiled. "De Lu, meaning fast vehicles, I wish you great success." "Ms. Ye, you owe me. If I hadn't invited you all over, you wouldn't have landed this big deal."
Ye Zhiwei rolled her eyes, speechless. "Shameless." Song Qiao laughed heartily.
Just then, *creak*—the lock was suddenly turned. Xia Xueqing had returned. The first thing she saw was the women's shoes at the door. Xia Xueqing's face turned green with rage. She roared, "Song Qiao! You dare bring women here! You're dead! I'm going to kill you!"
