Be reborn and be happy to the fullest

"Hehe, I didn't know before that Sanxing had a Crown Princess..."

Li Shuo's words heightened the tension again, but he seemed oblivious, continuing to speak in a threatening tone:

"The current head of Sanxing Bank seems to be named Lin Shiya. If you are that person, that would be wonderful!"

“Sanxing Bank has misappropriated a huge amount of funds from major clients without authorization, and three months have passed without any response. Now that we have met with its person in charge, Ms. Lin, what do you have to say about this?”

For a moment, Lin Shiya panicked: No way, Oppa, are you serious? How can you say something like this that damages the bank's reputation in public!

If Lin Shiya was like this, let alone those who depended on her, especially Zheng Shirong, who became nervous in an instant. At this moment, he also realized that Li Shuo was not afraid of Sanxing, and seemed to have real confidence!

"Hehe, that's a company matter. You can send a lawyer to inquire, and the company will naturally give a reply!" Lin Shiya said with a straight face, using official language.

Li Shuo squinted and pressed on, "Then what about Li Xiangyu, the senior vice president of Sanxing Bank? He embezzled customer deposits, so where is he now?"

"I told you, you can inquire about company matters through official channels!"

"Haha, let me ask you another question: why were the funds misappropriated by Kang's Securities, a partner of Sanxing Bank?" Why this company?

"It's enough!"

Unable to bear the questioning any longer, Lin Shiya, though still not understanding Oppa's intentions, clearly knew that he was trying to provoke her. So she lost control, pointed outside, and shouted, "Now, immediately, get out of here!"

In response, Li Shuo crossed his arms, not only refusing to leave but also turning to look into the hall, pointing to a lounge inside, and speaking in an unusually gentle tone:

“I’m an outsider, and I came to South Korea naturally to do business here. So, I’m not actually opposed to cooperating with a well-known conglomerate like Samsung… Well, the reason why Shuoguo Construction has cases and disputes with Samsung Bank is because I’ve heard of Samsung’s reputation. So after coming to South Korea, I directly entrusted my funds to Samsung Bank for management…”

At this point, Li Shuo paused slightly, then extended his hand to Lin Shiya, inviting her, "So, Miss Lin, although we have some conflicts, we are all civilized people, and all conflicts can be discussed sitting down. Would you mind if I invited you inside for a chat?"

As Li Shuo spoke, everyone's eyes immediately turned to Lin Shiya: Is that so? You are all chaebols, sit down and have a good talk, so that we servants won't have to fight to the death!

Of course, bystanders like Zheng Shirong and Han Xiaozhou were somewhat disappointed, especially Han Xiaozhou, who had originally wanted to watch the drama unfold and find out more about Li Shuo. Now it seems that Li Shuo has only revealed his background as the "second largest shareholder of Xu's Law Firm," and nothing else has been revealed yet!

"...Judging from Xu Ji's attitude towards Chairman Li, he's far more than just a 'second-largest shareholder.' I even suspect that Xu Ji is Chairman Li's personal lawyer! Ugh, it's infuriating that we still haven't found out the real source of his confidence..."

Han Xiaozhou roared angrily in his heart.

She thought the matter was probably over, but to her surprise, Lin Shiya coldly snorted at Li Shuo's goodwill and raised her head, saying, "Since you've heard of Three Stars, why didn't you show any respect before?"

Is this another trouble-making tactic? Han Xiaozhou's eyes lit up.

Li Shuo raised an eyebrow, knowing that this woman was up to her old tricks again!

He had originally extended his hand to shake hands with Lin Shiya, but now he raised it upwards as if he were about to slap her—that's how it appeared to outsiders, but Lin Shiya knew that this was Li Shuo's usual gesture of pulling her into his arms.

But regardless of the reason, it startled Lin Shiya: even though it was in public and under the watchful eyes of everyone, she knew that Li Shuo was really capable of anything. When he first arrived in South Korea, he slept with the Crown Princess of the Three Stars!

Of course, these were just Lin Shiya's personal feelings. In reality, although Li Shuo's actions were "fierce," his tone was still very polite: "If it weren't for the connection with Sanxing, Miss Lin, I probably wouldn't be speaking to you so politely now—you know, even with the previous Shuoguo Construction and Sanxing Bank, they had to negotiate through the courts!"

Bringing up the case again gives the impression to onlookers that it's an attempt to put more pressure on Lin Shiya.

"Hmph, lead the way!"

In the end, Lin Shiya gave in. Although she held her head high with arrogance, her pointed chin seemingly wanting to reach the sky, she still followed Li Shuo leisurely in her burgundy high heels as he walked towards the lounge...

"Phew, it's finally over!"

A sigh of relief came from the building's security team; for these people who received fixed salaries, this was the best possible outcome.

On the other side, Jessica Jung wanted to follow, but Han Hyo-ju stopped her: "Hey, those two are going in for a heated negotiation, what are you going to do if you follow them in?"

"It's because Oppa is negotiating with that fierce woman that I have to go in and see!" Jessica Jung replied casually.

Han Xiaozhou rolled his eyes and retorted, "If even Chairman Li can't control the fierce woman you're talking about, do you think you can?"

"Um, I was just worried!"

"There's no use in worrying. This is an absolute difference in strength. Otherwise, Chairman Li wouldn't have taken the initiative to make amends at the last moment. After all, he's facing a three-star opponent. Well, I'm not trying to belittle him. In fact, the fact that he could hold out to this extent is already extremely unexpected!"

Seeing Jessica Jung glaring at him angrily, Han Hyo-joo shrugged and said, with a self-assured coolness and rationality:

"Don't look at me like that. I'm just stating the facts. Given the absolute difference in strength, the fact that Chairman Li was able to invite Miss Lin into the lounge for a private discussion is already a remarkable step forward!"

"Yes, I anticipate that the case mentioned by Attorney Xu will have a significant impact on Sanxing Bank, which is why Chairman Li has brought it up again and again, thus putting some pressure on Ms. Lin."

"Of course, this is merely a prerequisite for forcing Miss Lin to negotiate. Believe it or not, in the lounge, even if Chairman Li doesn't kneel down and beg Miss Lin, he will definitely swallow his pride and say all the nice things to ask Sanxing to let him go..."

"In this situation, does your girlfriend really want to go in and watch? That will only make things worse!"

Jessica Jung opened her mouth, her pretty face full of indignation, and said, "Oppa is not like what you said. Even if she is the Crown Princess of a three-star family, I don't think Oppa would back down!"

"Believe it or not, you can even ignore my advice and go in yourself. They just entered the lounge, it's not too late for you to go in now..."

Han Xiaozhou shrugged, then turned away from Zheng Xiuyan and said to Zheng Shiyong, "I'm sorry, Director Zheng, you suffered today because of me!"

A hint of apology lingered on her pretty face, mixed with a touch of melancholy in her doe-like eyes, enough to make any man who saw her fall in love.

Zheng Shirong shook his face, which still bore the handprint from Li Shuo's slap, and resolutely said, "Xiaozhou, this has nothing to do with you. It's my fault for failing to protect you! Don't worry, I will definitely get my revenge for what happened today..."

"Oh, I'm really looking forward to it!"

A slight smile appeared on Han Hyo-joo's face, his captivating charm evident.

Zheng Shirong was captivated and couldn't help but boast to the beautiful woman, "You were right. Don't be fooled by Li Shuo's tough exterior. I bet he'll apologize to Miss Lin in private. No, given his status, he'll probably have to kneel down or even kowtow to get her forgiveness!"

He said this to highlight himself: "To be honest, even the most trusted members of our contemporary conglomerate can only do this in this situation, after all, we've offended Sanxing. Of course, if I accidentally offend Ms. Shiya, I only need to apologize to her in person. Well, afterwards, I can compensate Ms. Shiya with some benefits in business. This is a tacit understanding that has been formed among our ten major conglomerates for a long time."

This was to highlight his status as one of the top ten conglomerates.

To be honest, before meeting Li Shuo, Zheng Shirong's behavior in front of Han Xiaozhou was somewhat reserved, with a sense of pride typical of a chaebol's son. But now, with a formidable competitor like Li Shuo, he was like a peacock spreading its tail, trying his best to show himself off...

Unfortunately, neither Jung Se-yong nor Han Hyo-ju could have imagined what was really happening in the lounge...

……

Lin Shiya proudly puffed out her chest and head, following Li Shuo into the lounge. Then, as she casually turned around and closed the door, a loud "smack" rang out, and her pert and elastic buttocks were slapped hard.

"Humph"

The Crown Princess grunted, maintaining her momentum from being outside, and blurted out a reprimand: "Chairman Li, what are you doing..."

Before he could finish the sentence, he suddenly remembered that they had already met privately and didn't need to act like they had just done.

Upon hearing this, Li Shuo assumed Lin Shiya was just being playful, so he tightened his grip and sneered, "So you're the Crown Princess of the Three Stars, huh? What do you think I'm going to do now? Weren't you so arrogant outside? Now you're in my hands..."

This whole drama was originally initiated by Lin Shiya, so she naturally wouldn't object to Li Shuo's role, in fact...

Her eyes instantly blazed with seductive charm as she leaned into Li Shuo's arms: "Oh, Chairman Li, please don't do this..."

"Call me Oppa, or by my name... Chairman Lee, otherwise people will think I'm calling your deadbeat husband..."

"laugh"

Lin Shiya chuckled: "How could he compare to you, Oppa? How was his performance outside just now?"

"What do you think? Since you started this, you're responsible for settling it!"

"Oh, I just wanted to protect you—on the surface we're enemies, that way we can avoid Lee Se-gi's ideas. He's incompetent, but he's also very petty..."

"Tsk tsk, the ability you're referring to is..."

"Oppa, what do you think..."

As she spoke, Lin Shiya slowly knelt down...
