The younger brother is studying upstairs.
Alright.
Whether he’s actually studying remains unknown.
The junior sister is sitting right beside.
And myself,
enjoying the dinner personally prepared by the other party.
In such a situation, even the most shaless person couldn’t refuse the title of "friend."
Therefore, in response to Li Shuru’s definition of the relationship, Lan Peizhi gave a faint smile and then put down the chopsticks.
"Miss Lan is the president of the Donghai Comrce Association, and Director Shi is a mber as well. I don’t think Miss Lan would stand by if local businesses are treated unjustly."
Whether a friend’s friend counts as a friend is debatable, so Li Shuru quickly changed her approach.
It seed.
More reasonable and logical.
"Moreover, Director Shi is one of the founders of the Great Wall and is a partner with Miss Lan."
Step by step, cornering with no escape.
"No rumors of what you’re saying have reached the outside."
Lan Peizhi indeed did not avoid, or rather could not avoid, but the reluctance was evident.
Not everyone has a noble heart.
And Lan Peizhi is definitely not soone who likes to ddle in other people’s business.
"Perhaps it’s Miss Lan’s unwillingness to pay attention."
Li Shuru said aningfully, then smiled and continued, "Miss Lan is talented and capable, a model for won, and an idol in Martial Saint’s heart. I believe Miss Lan definitely won’t curry favor with authority or fear it."
A classic tactic of killing with praise.
A thod often used against won in this era.
Learning the enemy’s strengths to counter them.
Lan Peizhi remained composed, silently observing this young woman who spoke with such ease, without showing emotion, she asked calmly, "How are you sure that Jinhai has been treated unfairly?"
Yes.
No matter how perfectly reasonable the justification, it’s still just a one-sided claim.
Everything requires evidence.
And for matters like this, it’s unlikely that any solid evidence would surface.
Li Shuru continued without hesitation: "Just before signing the contract, Jinhai’s new factory project was inexplicably shelved. Soone then approached Director Shi with a business deal; I think this deal Miss Lan might truly be unaware of."
Perhaps.
This word here is quite thought-provoking.
"What business deal?"
"Soone wants to buy the original shares of the Great Wall Group held by Director Shi for five billion."
Li Shuru spoke frankly.
Lan Peizhi’s pupils slightly contracted.
Undoubtedly.
Li Shuru’s judgnt was correct.
This information, indeed, the other party was not aware of.
"Five billion?"
"Yes, five billion, at the original price."
It seems even the Blood Guanyin found this acquisition price exaggerated; otherwise, she wouldn’t have confird it a second ti.
All those in big business would be aware of the absurdity of this deal.
It’s like betting on stones.
Soone buys a rough stone and luckily finds Imperial Green or Dragon Stone Type, and you want to buy it back at the price of a rough stone—it’s not absurd?
"Has Miss Lan ever dealt with a traffic accident?"
Li Shuru suddenly asked inexplicably.
"If you’re driving and accidentally rear-end soone, but instead they have to pay you, there’s only one possibility—the person was driving under the influence. Perhaps this analogy isn’t fitting, but it should demonstrate that this is a conspiracy against Director Shi and Jinhai."
"Oh."
Li Shuru paused for a mont, then continued to elaborate, "Perhaps it’s not just targeting one goal."
Lan Peizhi’s face remained calm, "Go on."
Since it’s about communication, the key point undoubtedly lies in "communication."
Li Shuru spoke eloquently, "The number of shareholders in the Great Wall Group is not many, so its equity structure is relatively simple. And simplicity also implies instability, no ability to withstand fluctuations. Once the equity changes hands, the interests of the other shareholders will inevitably be affected."
Lan Peizhi showed no signs of emotion, silently listening.
"Miss Lan, we are all East Sea people, we should watch out for each other."
Li Shuru’s eyes were sincere.
She certainly wouldn’t forget where she was born. The term ’East Sea people’ is rely a symbolic term.
Birthplace is sothing written on the household registry.
In society, when it truly cos down to distinguishing categories, they look at your interest alignnt, not your birthplace.
As the president of the Donghai Comrce Association, Lan Peizhi also isn’t a native East Sea person.
"If Miss Lan also has doubts about soone wanting to acquire Great Wall’s equity, I can prove that."
It can be proven, but it’s unnecessary.
Even the people extorting Jinhai don’t need further confirmation.
So things are better left unsaid when everyone already understands.
"Thank you for the dinner; it was quite delicious."
The host has clearly stated their purpose, so it’s ti for this al to end.
"Senior sister, are you full?"
The quiet and well-behaved Tanki Liuli suddenly spoke.
She watched Lan Peizhi and the bowl in front of her.
From start to finish, Lan Peizhi hadn’t taken a single bite of rice.
"I’m full."
Lan Peizhi smiled slightly, responding to her junior sister’s concern.
In reality.
It’s only in front of this young junior sister that the Blood Guanyin would show her most humane side.
It shouldn’t be a refusal.
With Lan Peizhi’s petite and delicate figure, she doesn’t look like soone with a big appetite. Though she didn’t eat rice, she did taste quite a bit of the dishes and had so soup.
"I’ll see Miss Lan off."
Li Shuru stood up.
Tanki Liuli didn’t feign interest to tag along; there was no need for such niceties between the junior and senior sisters, and she was responsible for tidying up after the al.
Without going upstairs to say goodbye to her younger brother, Lan Peizhi headed for the door.
"Take care, Miss Lan."
Li Shuru elegantly and properly bid her farewell.
