Chapter 880: Lost the Project

Ye Min saw Li Jin’s arrival, and in combination with her words, her heart immediately sank.

She knew that Li Jin was not easy to get along with. She had already avoided her, but still couldn’t escape Li Jin’s deliberate interference.

President Tao cast a troubled glance at Ye Min. His mind was also filled with unease, wondering why Li Jin had approached to discuss involvement in the project.

Although Li Industries invested in some real estate projects, weren’t they primarily focused on jewelry and minerals? Why was there a sudden interest in this small real estate project?

President Tao was a straightforward person and openly expressed, “Tao

Industries deals with small projects. How dare we propose collaboration with

Li Industries? Perhaps we are not qualified.”

Li Jin’s gaze swept across Ye Min, and with a sinister smile, she said, “How could a project that attracts the interest of New Leaf Real Estate be considered small? President Tao is too modest.’

Once Li Jin spoke, everyone’s attention turned to Ye Min. People in the room were not fools; they could sense that Li Jin was targeting New Leaf Real Estate.

Since there was no avoiding it, Ye Min could only face it head-on.

“Li Jin, what a coincidence to meet you in Hai City,” she said with a polite smile.

“How incredibly unexpected? It seems we’re destined to cross paths. I overheard your conversation with President Tao just now and suddenly became interested in your project. Ye Min, are you willing to let me join in?” Li Jin phrased it as a question, but everyone could sense her unyielding tone.

From the moment Ye Min saw Li Jin, she had a premonition that something might happen today. Now, it was coming true.

Sometimes, a person’s sixth sense was remarkably accurate.

At the same time, Ye Niin was well aware that the project that seemed to be in her grasp today was definitely slipping away.

While Li Industries couldn’t rival the influence of the four major families in Beijing, they still held considerable sway in Hai City.

Moreover, President Tao’s headquarters were located in Hai City. This essentially put him in a difficult position, forcing him to collaborate with them.

Given the circumstances, Ye Min decided that she was done being courteous to Li Jin. She scoffed, “What will you do if I refuse? Will you openly seize it or use your influence to pressure me?”

Li Jin lowered her eyes and chuckled, “Ye Min, do you think so poorly of me? I’m just thinking that we can all prosper together. But from your words, it seems you want to have it all for yourself. That’s not acceptable!”

With that, Li Jin turned to President Tao and asked, “President Tao, why not you decide? Who do you want to collaborate with?”

President Tao knew that collaborating with New Leaf Real Estate would likely be better than with Li Industries.

Although New Leaf Real Estate was somewhat weaker, it had a high level of professionalism. Aside from the exceptional support, they could also have more say in the collaboration.

So even if he didn’t encounter Ye Min this time, when the two companies reconnected later, they were likely to have chosen New Leaf Real Estate. However, Li Jin’s interference put President Tao in a difficult position. He was concerned that turning down Li Jin at this moment could potentially invite trouble from Li Industries down the road.

The surrounding guests were surprised. It was Li Jin’s first public appearance as the heir, and her dominance and arrogance had altered their perception of Li Industries.

Li Zhe used to be decisive, and Meng Yu was ruthless, but their actions were targeted at business competition. Li Jin’s behavior, on the other hand, seemed irrational and unreasonable, grabbing opportunities without any consideration.

Nevertheless, no one dared to speak up. No one wanted to attract Li Industries’ attention.

Facing President Tao’s somewhat guilty expression, Ye Min smiled gently.

President Tao turned to Li Jin, flattering her, “Li Industries is powerful, and naturally, we would like to collaborate with your company.”

Li Jin was pleased with President Tao’s sense of timing. She looked at Ye Min and said with a smirk, “Oh, I’m sorry, it seems President Tao has chosen Li Industries. But it’s understandable; who wouldn’t want to collaborate with a powerful enterprise? Isn’t that right, Ye Min?”

Looking at Li Jin, who had become noticeably more arrogant, Ye Min responded with a smile, “You’re right, President Tao is a wise man. Naturally, he would choose the better company. Congratulations, Director Li!”

Li Jin looked satisfied as Ye Min lost the opportunity for the project. She knew that Ye Min must be furious, but what could she do?

Li Jin enjoyed the feeling of being disliked yet untouchable, forcing others to swallow their pride. It was simply delightful..
