Lin Wanwan smiled, "This matter is being handled by my subordinates. I've just arrived and don't understand anything. If Mr. Qian feels disappointed, there's nothing I can do about it.
'Is there still friendship in business?' No one's money is easily earned. I trust the project department's assessment. The price they quoted must have a basis."
Seeing that she wasn't falling for it, Mr. Qian said, "Yesterday, my wife mentioned that Mrs. Xie offered twenty billion. Was Mrs. Xie just speaking nonsense?"
Lin Wanwan said shamelessly, "I was just talking big, saying it off the cuff. Is that illegal?"
Mr. Qian was choked by her response. It wasn't illegal, but her attitude was like she was playing with him.
"Mrs. Xie, this is Hong Kong. Your attitude here can easily make people hate you."
Lin Wanwan replied, "Isn't your wife living quite well despite her arrogance? I think my attitude is very good. I have a great personality, and everyone likes me.
Once President Xie gets to know me, he'll realize how kind and gentle I am. That's why my Xie Sui has remained pure and devoted only to me, because I'm good enough."
Sheng Ruyi lowered her head, hiding the smile at the corner of her lips. How could she praise herself like that?
Mr. Qian stopped arguing with her and got straight to the point, "If Mrs. Xie is sincere about acquiring my mall, name a sincere price. Since I'm here, I'm not just here to waste words."
Lin Wanwan said, "Alright, one price, ten billion. I won't take advantage of you, and you shouldn't think I'm foolish and easy to deceive."
Sheng Ruyi added, "The goods in the mall cannot be moved for now; they must remain as they are. If the delay is too long, the inventory will have to be recounted. Is the mall's land and property under Mr. Qian's name?
These need to be clarified, as well as the debts. Such a large mall requires careful consideration."
Mr. Qian glanced at her, "Who are you?"
"I am Mrs. Xie's assistant, my surname is Sheng. Hello, Mr. Qian."
Both women were young but possessed the sharp edge of a newborn calf unafraid of a tiger. Mr. Qian knew he wouldn't gain anything today.
"Alright then, let the subordinates discuss it. At ten billion, I'm not making any profit. Won't Mrs. Xie have any financial problems?
After all, President Xie is not here, and you've just arrived in Hong Kong. Such a large sum of money, is Mrs. Xie sure she can afford it?"
Lin Wanwan replied, "You don't need to worry about that. My personal savings are enough. Ten billion is not a lot."
"Your personal savings? May I ask, how much is it?"
"About twenty billion. My Xie Sui jokingly said it was a reward for having a son."
Mr. Qian no longer wanted to speak. Her personal savings exceeded his net worth. Such a rich woman couldn't be offended. Soudan Novel Network
"Haha, with Mrs. Xie saying that, I'm relieved. I wish us a pleasant cooperation."
"It's a pleasure. Mr. Qian, when marrying a wife, one seeks virtue. Your wife is not quite right. The connections you painstakingly maintained were destroyed by her the next moment. I'm really worried for you, Mr. Qian.
Of course, if Mr. Qian enjoys pampering his spoiled wife, then I have nothing more to say."
Lin Wanwan didn't forget to sow discord with Mrs. Qian. What would this woman be without a rich husband?
Coincidentally, Mrs. Qian became angrier and angrier. Not long after Mr. Qian left, she came to find Lin Wanwan herself. Extremely arrogant, even the receptionist couldn't stop her. She barged directly into the chairman's office.
"Country bumpkin, get out! How dare you secretly film me and smear me in the newspapers? Explain this clearly to me, or we're not done!"
Lin Wanwan looked at Mr. Qian with sympathy and walked out of the reception room, saying, "How do you want to finish this?"
Mrs. Qian rushed up and tried to attack her, "You slut, I'll make you pay."
As a result, Mr. Qian rushed out and slapped her on her plump face.
"Shut up! What did I tell you this morning? Did you take my words for granted? Go back, don't embarrass yourself here."
Mrs. Qian didn't expect her husband to be here. Her mind immediately went to them having an affair. Tears rolled down her face as she pointed at them, "When did you two get together?
Good for you, Qian Dayou, you're eating from your own bowl but looking at others. I'm not done with you!"
"Shut up!"
Lin Wanwan slapped her across the face, "You can argue at home however you want, but don't involve me. This is the first time I've met your husband. After hearing you speak so filthily, you're ruining my reputation. I'll sue you for defamation!"
"You, you dare hit me!"
"So what if I hit you? Look at your husband! So old, with a big belly and a bald head. You probably married him for his money, right?
Dare you say you didn't marry him for money? My Xie Sui is young, capable, rich, and handsome. Would I fall for him?
Don't project your dirty thoughts onto others. If I hear you slander me again, I'll beat you to death.
Someone, escort her out. Ban them both from entering from now on. If the security guards can't stop them, replace them. Ah Hua, you'll be in charge."
"Yes, Madam. Don't worry, I'll personally assign people to monitor them."
The company employees were stunned by Lin Wanwan's ferocity. They had originally thought Mrs. Xie had a good temper, was beautiful and gentle, and smiled before speaking, but they didn't expect her to be so fierce when hitting someone.
Mrs. Qian still wanted to cry, but Lin Wanwan poked her with her finger, "Hold it back! Go home and wail. Coming to someone else's company to mourn is bad luck!"
Qian Dayou grabbed her and hurried away, utterly embarrassed.
Sheng Ruyi admired her, "Not bad, Wanwan. You should deal with them like this. Let's see if she dares to bully you again."
"Oh, you scared me! I was just too angry. She slandered my reputation, how could I tolerate that?"
Lin Wanwan cared most about her reputation and was still quite traditional at heart.
Lin Wanwan didn't care how Qian Dayou and his spoiled wife argued. The originally agreed-upon ten billion was further reduced by one hundred million as compensation for her reputation damage and the exhaustion from hitting someone.
Qian Dayou also wanted to befriend Xie Sui and mend their relationship. He gritted his teeth and sold it for nine hundred million. The project department investigated his family's finances and took inventory of the goods. The mall's land and property were all under Qian Dayou's name. After buying the mall, he still had land left. On the third day of Lin Wanwan's arrival, she first purchased land for herself in the prosperous center.
This was under her private name, considered her personal property and unrelated to Xie Sui's company.
Sheng Ruyi was envious. They were around the same age, but she was already a rich woman, while Sheng Ruyi was still worrying about investors for her own products.
Lin Wanwan's actions made the upper class of Hong Kong look at her with newfound respect. Postcards inviting her to engagements flooded in, with everyone eager to meet this Mrs. Xie.
Lin Wanwan was currently meeting a guest, Lin Shishi, her elder sister. Lin Shishi felt her opportunity had arrived. Without Xie Sui's obstruction, if she cried and pleaded, her sister, who had always been soft-hearted since childhood, would surely revoke that tyrannical contract.
Lin Wanwan listened to her cry for half an hour. Her nose was almost flattened, a side effect of plastic surgery. If she applied a little too much force, her nose wouldn't return to its original shape, like molded clay.
"Sister, please help me. I'm truly in too much trouble. I work like a bull but only get scraps of grass to eat. I'm truly working for free, without any money."
Lin Wanwan remained expressionless, making Lin Shishi feel uneasy.
