After the divorce, I became a rich girl

Li Jiawei put down the red wine glass in her hand and asked, "Can you handle so many guests?"

Wei Jiaming smiled and said, "I'm used to this kind of situation. You can rest assured with me here!"

Li Jiawei said, "Thank you for your hard work. I'll go upstairs and change my clothes and come back down."

Li Jiawei is now wearing a top-of-the-line dress. Although it is beautiful, she has been wearing it for two or three hours and her whole body is tightly wrapped, which is really uncomfortable.

Wei Jiaming reached out and loosened his tie. He was also uncomfortable wearing a suit after a day, but it seemed better than Li Jiawei's dress.

"Go ahead, change into something casual." He pointed at the steel mill owner who had just been chatting with Li Jiawei for a long time. "Boss Meng has been hanging around us all night. I guess we'll still have to talk to him after the banquet!"

Li Jiawei felt a bit of a headache when she thought about being pestered by Mr. Meng all night, but honestly, she was very interested in the cooperation that Mr. Meng mentioned. "Then I'll go upstairs to change clothes and come back in half an hour!"

However, as soon as Li Jiawei walked out of the banquet hall, she saw an unexpected person.

"Congratulations!" Li Xuanbao handed a bouquet of lilies to Li Jiawei and said congratulations with a smile on her face. Her current expression did not show that she had just served her sentence in prison.

Li Jiawei smelled the elegant fragrance of the lilies and reacted instantly. She took the flowers from Li Xuanbao and said, "Thank you! When did you... come out?"

Li Xuanbao smiled and said, "I came out the day before yesterday."

Li Jiawei looked at the sincere expression on Li Xuanbao's face, as if she came here today just to congratulate him.

Li Jiawei said, "Dad is in there, do you want to go in and say hello to him?"

Li Xuanbao peeked inside and said, "It's too busy in there, with all the big bosses. For someone of my status, I'd better forget about it, lest others see me and think it's unlucky." Then she looked at Li Jiawei, "What are you going to do?"

Li Jiawei said, "Go up and change your clothes."

"Which floor? I'll go up with you." After saying that, Li Xuanbao turned and walked towards the elevator.

Li Jiawei looked at Li Xuanbao's back. She was too casual, as if their previous conflicts didn't exist. She sighed helplessly and said, "Seventeenth floor."

The elevator door opened, and Li Xuanbao walked in first. Then she looked at Li Jiawei who was standing there and shouted, "Aren't you coming in?"

Li Jiawei took a deep breath and stepped into the elevator. The elevator door closed, and the small space was so quiet that only the sound of each other's breathing could be heard.

Fortunately, the elevator quickly rose to the 17th floor, and Li Jiawei walked out quickly and entered the room that had been booked in advance.

In the living room, three stylists who were originally sitting on the sofa playing with their phones saw Li Jiawei come in and hurriedly stood up. One of the stylists asked, "Mr. Li, do you want to change your makeup?"

Li Jiawei placed the lilies on the coffee table and ordered, "Change into that suit."

"Ok!"

Afterwards, Li Jiawei went into the dressing room to change. Fifteen minutes later, Li Jiawei came out and said to the three stylists, "Go downstairs and have something to eat!"

These three stylists usually serve celebrities and wealthy people. After hearing what Li Jiawei said, they naturally understood that Li Jiawei had something to talk to the lady who came in with her, so they packed up their things and left.

Li Jiawei looked at Li Xuanbao, who was sitting leisurely on the sofa, and asked, "Would you like something to drink?"

Li Xuanbao looked at the wine cabinet next to him, stood up and walked over, his fingertips gently sliding over a row of red wine bottles, then picked up a bottle at random and asked, "Is this okay to drink?"

Li Jiawei didn't say anything, but walked over and took two highball glasses.

Seeing Li Jiawei's actions, Li Xuanbao smiled slightly, then picked up the bottle opener next to her and opened the red wine.

She took the wine glass from Li Jiawei, placed it on the bar, and filled both glasses with red wine.

Li Xuanbao picked up a glass of red wine, clinked it lightly with another glass, looked at Li Jiawei and said, "I'll drink this one, you can do whatever you want!" After that, he tilted his head back and drank the full glass of red wine.

Li Jiawei looked at Li Xuanbao's actions and without hesitation, she also picked up the red wine glass and drank the wine in it.

Li Xuanbao slowly shook the wine glass in his hand, looked at Li Jiawei and said, "This is the first glass of wine I've had in more than two years!"

Li Jiawei sat down on a high stool, placed her wine glass on the bar, looked directly at Li Xuanbao and asked, "You didn't come to see me just to congratulate me, did you?"

Li Xuanbao also sat down on a high stool, facing Li Jiawei, and said, "Maybe I really just came here to congratulate you?"

"Maybe!" Li Jiawei repeated the word playfully, then said with a smile, "You must have something else to talk to me about." She raised her hand to check the time, "You only have ten minutes."

Li Xuanbao looked at Li Jiawei, poured herself another half glass of red wine, took a slow sip, and said with emotion, "I never thought you could achieve such success today."

Li Jiawei looked at Li Xuanbao quietly without saying a word, wanting to see what she was up to.

Li Xuanbao didn't seem to expect Li Jiawei to respond to her, and continued to sigh softly to herself, "I never thought I would end up in jail. I can only say that life is unpredictable!"

Li Xuanbao spoke slowly and recounted many things that happened to her in prison. Every word she said had a profound meaning, but none of her words got to the point. She had simply taken the art of writing to the extreme.

Until Li Jiawei reminded her, "You only have four minutes left."

Li Xuanbao looked up at Li Jiawei and suddenly changed the subject: "I want to do business with you!"

Li Jiawei tilted her head slightly, looked at her and directly refused: "I refuse."

Li Xuanbao was a little surprised and said, "I haven't even told you what kind of business we want, and you're rejecting me outright?"

Li Jiawei smiled slightly and said, "No matter what kind of cooperation, I refuse it."

Li Xuanbao refused to give up and said, "Aren't you afraid of missing out on the most profitable project?"

Li Jiawei still smiled and said, "I still have a long life ahead of me. There are many profitable projects in the future. I don't mind missing one or two opportunities to make money."

After saying this, the smile on Li Xunbao's face gradually faded. She stared at Li Jiawei for a long time before saying, "You've really changed a lot!"

Li Jiawei said: "Every stage of life has its own unique meaning. Isn't it normal for the meaning to change?"

Li Xuanbao smiled, seeming to agree with Li Jiawei's point of view, and then said, "I'll tell you the truth first. As for whether or not to cooperate, I'll leave the decision to you."

Li Jiawei poured herself a glass of red wine without saying a word.

Seeing this, Li Xuanbao said, "Huanyu Auto's engine research and development project is fake!"

After hearing this, Li Jiawei stopped shaking her wine glass and asked, "Fake? You just got out of prison, where did you get this information?"

Li Xuanbao looked at Li Jiawei and said with a smug smile, "Of course I have my sources.

Yas Walker is a complete gambler and owes more than $1 billion in gambling debts.

Even if he mortgaged a lot of his assets to repay his debts, it was still far from enough.

Therefore, he used the reputation of Huanyu Automobile to announce that Huanyu Automobile was developing a new engine, but due to insufficient R&D funds, it needed to attract investment for joint development.

In fact, he just wants other capital to provide him with funds so that he can eat, drink and have fun.

Foreign investors are not stupid. They all know what kind of person Yas Walker is, so they are extremely cautious about the projects led by him.

Just when he thought there was no hope of attracting investment, his eldest brother Li Yan unexpectedly came to him and asked for cooperation. How could he let go of such fat meat that was delivered to his doorstep!

Li Jiawei frowned when she heard what Li Xuanbao said and asked, "Isn't he afraid of being exposed?"

Li Xuanbao sneered twice, "Exposed? Research and development itself is full of uncertainty.

If he says the R&D failed, who can say anything? Besides, Huanyu Auto has some outdated technologies, and they can still come up with a new engine by piecing them together.

As for performance, in front of the product, it can only be said that performance is just talk."

Li Jiawei kept rubbing the wine glass with her thumb, thinking secretly in her heart.

She believed 50% of what Li Xuanbao said, and for the remaining 50%, she would have to wait until someone was sent to verify it.

Li Jiawei looked at Li Xuanbao. Although her elder brother Li Yan was a little ambitious, he still had certain abilities. She didn't believe that Li Yan would be easily deceived by Yas Walker. There must be other hidden secrets.

"Are you involved in the cooperation between Li Group and Huanyu Automobile?" Li Jiawei asked.

Li Xuanbao's expression froze. "Why do you ask that? When the Li Group and Huanyu Auto were collaborating, I was still serving my sentence. How could I have interfered? If I had the ability, I wouldn't have lost to you."

Hearing Li Xuanbao say this, Li Jiawei felt relieved for some reason. "I'm glad you weren't involved. I'll investigate what you mentioned. But why didn't you tell my father about this news? Why did you tell me instead?"

Li Xuanbao smiled and said, "I have already left the Li family and have no such vested interests with them. The person I want to cooperate with is you. Whether you want to tell him or not, I will give you the decision.

So, are you going to tell him?"

Li Jiawei looked at her and felt a kind of madness in her eyes: "The news hasn't been confirmed yet, is there any need to say anything?"

Li Xuanbao smiled and said, "That's really not necessary. Do you think my information is valuable?"

“Very valuable!”

If this news is true, its value may be as high as billions.

"What kind of reward do you want?" Li Jiawei was not a petty person. Although she did not want to have any business dealings with Li Xuanbao, the other party had just been released from prison. If he needed her help, she was willing to lend a helping hand.

However, Li Xuanbao did not respond to Li Jiawei's question. Instead, she placed her wine glass on the bar, stood up, and said, "After you confirm the truth of this news, I will talk to you about what I want."

After that, she turned and left.

Li Jiawei watched Li Xuanbao walk out of the room and looked at her watch again. Exactly ten minutes had passed.

Thinking of the news brought by Li Xuanbao, Li Jiawei suddenly lost the mood to go downstairs for the social event.

But all those who came tonight are leaders in their respective industries. They are all here to support Li Jiawei. It would be rude to leave all these people to Mr. Wei to deal with.

So, Li Jiawei put the matter aside for the time being, adjusted her mood, and went downstairs to continue socializing.

Li Ronghua saw Li Jiawei coming down the stairs, and looked behind her for a moment before quickly walking up to her side. "I heard Xuanbao is here. Where is she...?"

Li Jiawei could see that the anxiety in Li Ronghua's eyes was not a disguise, and smiled and said, "She's gone."

Li Ronghua looked disappointed and asked, "When will she come out?"

"The day before yesterday."

Li Ronghua sighed heavily and then asked, "What does she want to talk to you about?"

Li Jiawei thought about the news Li Xuanbao had said, but because she was unsure of its authenticity, she didn't say anything. She just said, "It's nothing serious. They just sent me a bouquet of flowers to congratulate me."

Hearing Li Jiawei's words, Li Ronghua's smile became more sincere. "It seems she has come to her senses. Let the past be the past. You two should get along well in the future."

Li Jiawei smiled and didn't refute. She knew in her heart that it would be difficult for her and Li Xuanbao to get along harmoniously.

As for her elder brother Li Yan, even if she expressed her intention not to compete with him, she was afraid that her elder brother Li Yan would not believe it.

After all, in the face of huge interests, family affection sometimes seems very insignificant, not to mention that the family affection between them is already weak.

That evening after the banquet, Li Jiawei sent someone to investigate Huanyu Auto and Yas Walker. The sooner such matters were investigated, the more likely the losses would be minimized.

After three days of investigation, the investigators gave Li Jiawei a preliminary response: Yas Walker was indeed addicted to gambling and had previously incurred huge gambling debts. However, just a year ago, he suddenly paid off all his debts.

Upon hearing the news, Li Jiawei confirmed that 90% of what Li Xuanbao said was true, and the remaining 10% needed further investigation into the Huanyu Automotive Research Project.

It’s just that the research project involves confidential information, making the investigation difficult.

Li Jiawei was undecided about whether to tell her father Li Ronghua the news.

At this time, Li Jiawei thought of Uncle Liang, so she immediately picked up her coat and went to find Liang Yusen.

Seeing that Li Jiawei looked unhappy, Liang Yusen asked with concern, "What's wrong? You look so bad."

Li Jiawei directly handed the investigation document in her hand to Liang Yusen, "Uncle Liang, take a look at this!"

Liang Yusen took the file, browsed through the investigation materials inside, and looked up at Li Jiawei, "What are you suspicious of?"

Li Jiawei then roughly recounted to Liang Yusen the news that Li Xuanbao had told her that day, and then continued, "That night, I sent people to investigate Huanyu Auto and Yas Walker.

Yas Walker did incur a large gambling debt some time ago, but he later paid it off.

He paid off his gambling debts just one month after the Li Group invested in the Huanyu Automobile R&D project.

Therefore, I think Xuanbao's information is very credible. Huanyu Auto probably does not have an engine R&D project at all.

Moreover, when I was still in the Li Group, I read the research progress materials sent by Huanyu Auto to the Li Group. I showed some of the data to Professor Xu Zhili, and Professor Xu Zhili pointed out that there were problems with the data at that time.

It now appears that they never conducted any relevant research, so the research data is naturally false.”

After listening to what Li Jiawei said, Liang Yusen immediately stood up and said, "You must tell your father about this immediately!"
