Officialdom: The beautiful leader took me to the top

Li Zhihua stepped forward, staring at Li Ying, and asked, "How about... you take a gamble?"

Li Ying retorted forcefully, "What are we betting on?"

Li Zhihua thought for a moment, "I bet one day in the future, you, Li Ying, will beg our Li family to acknowledge Song Ci as your daughter-in-law!"

"I bet one day in the future, you, Li Ying, will be currying favor with Li Dong, this son-in-law you've never even looked at!"

Li Ying was stunned for a moment, then burst into wild laughter, "Li Zhihua, then you're destined to never see this day in your lifetime!"

"My daughter, Li Ying, is destined not to marry into your Li family!"

"As for that Li Dong, I looked down on him in the past, I look down on him now, and I will look down on him in the future!"

"To curry favor with Li Dong?"

"What right does a lowly policeman have for me to curry favor with him?"

"You want me, Li Ying, to bow down to your Li family? Forget about it!"

Li Zhihua nodded, "Okay, Chairman Li, I've written down everything you said today."

"I hope that one day in the future, our roles will be reversed, and you will never regret what you have done!"

Li Ying seemed to remember something, "What, trying to show off your skills in front of me again?"

“You mentioned IF Group during last night’s phone call.”

"Could it be that there's some secret between you and IF that I don't know about?"

Li Zhihua rarely showed his sharp edge, "What if there is? Li Dong, you've been navigating the business world for decades, haven't you ever left yourself a way out?"

Li Ying didn't take the reminder to heart at all. "Then you can rest assured, I'll leave myself a way out."

"But I can say for sure that this escape route is definitely not for your Li family!"

Li Zhihua said sarcastically, "I heard that Li Dong has been working on securing the IF project for the third city in Greater China for more than half a year."

"The initial investment of manpower and resources alone has already amounted to nearly ten million."

"If you want to cooperate with IF Group, I can really get involved and have a say in the matter."

"Li Dong, what will you do then...?"

Li Ying's voice finally broke down, carrying a hint of barely perceptible panic, "What, are you trying to say that you are the new president of IF China?"

Li Zhihua countered, "Li Dong, do I look like one?"

Li Ying sneered, "You don't seem like it!"

Li Zhihua didn't explain further, saying, "Whether I look like you or not is not important; what's important is that I want to remind you."

"When IF chooses partners, it never values ​​the size of the company, but rather the character of the partner."

"You're willing to trade away even your own daughter's happiness? Who would dare to cooperate with a businessman like you?"

Li Ying's face was paler.

The cooperation with IF is crucial to Jianghe Group and also to her revenge plan.

If the cooperation falls through, all her hard work over the years will be in vain.

Not only will all the initial investment be wasted, but it may also allow competitors to take advantage of the situation.

Even if other methods are used to remedy the situation later, it will be difficult to achieve the same effect!

Despite Li Ying's certainty, there is no possibility that Li Zhihua has any connection with IF.

But the frankness in the other person's eyes only deepened his suspicions.

According to previously obtained information, IF's new president in China is indeed surnamed Li, and is indeed a woman.

Could this woman be Li Zhihua?

This guess made Li Ying's heart skip a beat, and she even lost her confidence when she spoke, "Are you kidding me?"

"If you really had that many connections, you would have used them to threaten me long ago, instead of waiting until now!"

Li Zhihua walked towards the door first. As she passed Li Ying, she whispered a reminder: "I'm not threatening you, I'm just reminding you."

"Xiao Ci is your daughter, and Li Dong is also a child you can entrust with your life. Don't let interests cloud your judgment."

"If we agree to let the two children be together now, even if something else happens in the future, we can sit down and discuss it together."

"What if you continue to object now?"

"If something really goes wrong in the future, even if you're willing to marry Xiaoci into the family, the Li family might not accept her!"

"In the end, it will only be Xiao Ci who gets hurt!"

"As for the cooperation with IF..."

"Three days from now, the IF working group will release the evaluation report of the Hantong partner. You can bet I'm exaggerating. We'll wait and see!"

After saying this, Li Zhihua strode away without looking back, leaving Li Ying standing there bewildered in the wind!

The footsteps faded into the distance, but Li Ying's face was still filled with shock.

When Chu Xiong knocked on the door and entered, he asked with a worried expression, "Big sister, what's wrong?"

Li Ying shook her head and did not reply.

The sunlight outside the teahouse shone through the glass, casting interplay of light and shadow on her face, yet she still felt a chill run through her body.

Especially Li Zhihua's words before he left, "Wait and see in three days," were like a thorn in her heart, making her restless!

In any case, she could not equate Li Zhihua with the president of IF Group's Greater China region.

But everything Li Zhihua did today made her feel like she was sitting on pins and needles!

It wasn't until Chu Xiong called out a second time that Li Ying reacted, "A Xiong, go and investigate this Li Zhihua's background right away."

“Let’s see what kind of business she has been doing abroad over the years, and whether there is any connection between her and the IF Group.”

"Also, please inform Ahui and have her check with IF to see if they are sensitive about the name Li Zhihua!"

Although Chu Xiong was still unaware of what had happened, he had a premonition when he saw his eldest sister's current loss of composure.

Li Dong's aunt is probably not as simple as she seems!

After Chu Xiong left, Li Ying realized that her palms were covered in cold sweat.

Last night at the group's board meeting, several veterans raised questions about the investment in the IF project.

If she fails to secure this cooperation, even her influence within the group will be shaken, not to mention the revenge plan she has kept hidden in her heart for many years!

Fortunately, Zhong Hui called back soon, her voice hesitant, "Big sister, IF is keeping the information very tight, and we haven't received any news yet."

"Besides, Anderson simply doesn't answer the phone."

"As you instructed, I also probed the name 'Li Zhihua,' but they did not react at all."

"However, I have received some news."

"Just now, the Hantong Provincial Committee has extended an invitation to IF Group to meet with the new president of IF."

"It is unclear whether the IF will agree."

Li Ying grasped at this like a lifeline, "Go and follow up immediately, report back promptly if there is any news. I need to know every detail of this meeting, not a single word can be missed!"
