Corporate slave? Pshaw, I'm the richest woman now!

The crab lasagna is a large portion, topped with plump, snow-white crab meat and shredded mozzarella cheese that has been quickly toasted over a fire.

"So, Mr. Chi invited me to do business, was it just an excuse that business likes me, or...?"

She gracefully cut the lasagna in front of her with a knife and fork. The sweet crab meat and the crispy on the outside and soft on the inside of the lasagna, mixed with the creamy aroma of cheese, made for an extremely satisfying bite.

"Are you using the excuse of liking me to ask me to do business with you?"

Of course I like it.

Chi Ningbei has never had any other women around him. Tang Tang has a vibrant life force, a nonchalant pride, and is both affectionate and indifferent. She can entice you, and then push you away.

He liked Tang Tang's qualities, like the elusive wind.

“I may not need a reason to like Miss Tang,” Chi Ningbei carefully cut the steak for Tang Tang, handed it to her, and looked up with a light smile. “But even though I like Miss Tang, I still need a reason to do business.”

Tang Tang gladly accepted Chi Ningbei's service and ate the steak he cut without any politeness. The beef was tender and chewy, and the black pepper mushroom sauce was rich and delicious.

She was as happy as a cat that had just eaten its fill, and the adorable Chi Ningbei wanted to pat her head.

However, Tang Tang has a rather bad temper, and Chi Ningbei is still somewhat aware of this.

"Okay, let's talk about the reasons."

"Miss Tang suddenly appeared in City B, spent over a billion yuan, and was surrounded by heirs from the Jiang, Wang, and even Bai families. There are quite a few people paying attention to Miss Tang."

In fact, you could even say there are many.

"So?" Tang Tang tilted her head nonchalantly, looking at Chi Ningbei with a smile. "A billion or so, it's not a small amount, but it's not even a fraction of Mr. Chi's net worth, is it?"

"Because many people cannot find out about Miss Tang's background, which is incredible in this information age."

Many people are initially just curious when a new face with considerable wealth enters the circle. Although they say they won't actively look up information because it's impolite, in reality, almost everyone will use money to bridge the information gap.

However, no one could find out Tang Tang's identity; they only confirmed a few pieces of information in her purchase records.

A 19-year-old Chinese with Italian citizenship entered University A through a special channel to pursue higher education as an overseas Chinese.

He is holding a Centurion Black Card, the serial number of which is unknown.

There is also no information about Tangtang in Italy, incredibly, not at all.

Such a clean information blockade could only be achieved by logging into Italy's classified archives.

But if she is just a 19-year-old girl, what is her identity that allows her to enjoy the same level of confidentiality as the Italian Prime Minister?

Unbelievable.

Looking at the beautiful and proud young woman in front of him, Chi Ningbei sighed, "Miss Tang, many people are speculating about your purpose in returning to the country."

"What is Mr. Chi's purpose in seeing me return to China?"

"Perhaps she really has no ulterior motive. Although I don't know Miss Tang's specific family background, I imagine that with Miss Tang's status and background, doing whatever she wants would be a piece of cake."

"So, resolving Mr. Chi's troubles will be a piece of cake?"

Chi Ningbei nodded. "I think money can't sway Miss Tang, but Miss Tang's time is precious and shouldn't be wasted on irrelevant things."

He was good-looking, and when he smiled, his eyebrows relaxed, and the corners of his lips curved slightly. Combined with his clear and pleasant voice, it was like a gentle spring breeze.

Tang Tang, having been well-fed, was in a good mood. She propped her chin on her hand, admiring Chi Ningbei's face, and asked curiously, "So, what are you going to use to win me over?"

Chi Ningbei remained expressionless, still smiling, and softly uttered a few words, "Chi family."

Ok?

Thinking she had misheard, Tang Tang slowly sat up straight, blinked, and asked, "What did you just say you were going to get?"

"The Chi family," Chi Ningbei said gently, sounding like he was saying something romantic, "how about we repay Miss Tang with the Chi family's wealth?"

It's good, it's good, but these words don't sound like something a normal person would say.

"If others heard this, they would think I fed Mr. Chi mushrooms. Otherwise, why would Mr. Chi talk so wildly?"

Tang Tang couldn't help but sigh. Those who knew Chi Ningbei knew he was the head of the Chi family, but those who didn't would think he was the Thanos of the Chi family. If the old head of the Chi family ran away from the sanatorium, wouldn't he be tortured to death by Chi Ningbei?

"Miss Tang must be aware of the Chi family's situation; even a pile of mud is an understatement when she says it."

“The Chi family has a long history of marriage alliances and connections with many families. The factions are complex and people are restless,” Chi Ningbei looked at Tang Tang with a calm gaze, like a pool of water waiting to surge. “Instead of painstakingly repairing and patching things up, it’s better to tear everything down and rebuild it all myself.”

Tang Tang raised her hand and slowly clapped her palms. "Patriarch Chi has quite the spirit, but what does this have to do with an outsider like me?"

“Although I don’t intend to take the current Chi family, I don’t want other families to take a piece of my cake either,” Chi Ningbei chuckled, his tone carrying a hint of ruthlessness. “They can’t touch my things, but Miss Tang is an exception.”

Wow, do you city people all talk so ambiguously?

"How exceptional am I, Mr. Chi?"

“Although Miss Tang has wealth, it is not easy for her to acquire several established businesses at once. After the deal is done, two-thirds of those old guys’ businesses will go to Miss Tang, and I will only take one-third.”

"Could you be more specific about which companies are involved?"

"Yongning Industry, Taian Pharmaceutical, Beihua Intelligent High Technology, and Taian Film and Television."

Hmm? Tai'an Film and Television?

Tang Tang really knew about the film and television industry. In her previous life, it was one of the established film and television industries, but its harsh contracts and the news of its unspoken rules were often criticized by the public.

Well... since Chi Ningbei, as a descendant of Chi Jia, is willing to give up these family assets to benefit the public, she will definitely be willing too.

Don't want it for nothing.

She was indeed tempted. She was already very interested in the various financial and business battles in novels and TV dramas because she had money and free time. Now this opportunity had come to her.

"What do you plan to do?" Tang Tang asked with interest. "It won't be easy to take all of these in one go."

Chi Ningbei nodded, then whispered, "B City has been very active recently because a piece of land in the southern part of the city is about to be auctioned off. It is a very large area, but it is surrounded by lakes and mountains, with a very beautiful landscape. The starting price is 60 billion yuan."

60 billion, starting price, wow.

"Moreover, it has a dual-core system of starting bid and bidding. Even if the final bid is successful, it will still fail if it is lower than other bids."
