Chapter 1137: The Most Awkward Investment Meeting?

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Yan Ci was a little surprised to see the middle-aged woman looking at Lin Yi arrogantly.

With her age, figure, and appearance, Lin Yi shouldn’t have any history with her, right?

“What’s going on? Do you know each other?” Yan Ci asked instinctively.

“When I was selling fruits previously, I met her and said that she wanted to take care of me. In the end, I scolded her. Don’t you find this interesting?” “Take care of you?”

Hearing this, Yan Ci almost laughed out loud. This matter was indeed a little funny.

“Why else would I have anything to do with someone like her?”

The argument in the back row attracted the attention of the people in front.

Su Chang and Zhang Xu also turned around, wanting to know what was going on.

“Why is that kid here?!”

Zhang Xu’s body trembled when he saw Lin Yi. He had suffered at his hands before, and the psychological trauma had yet to dissipate.

“Do you know that person? I saw the two of them eating together yesterday, but I felt that he looked familiar. I think I’ve seen him somewhere before.”

“His name is Lin Yi. He’s the one who participated in Man vs. Wild and won first place.”

“So that’s him.” Su Chang suddenly realized. “I was wondering why he looked familiar.”

“This person is very extraordinary. He seems to be very rich and skilled. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have gotten first place.”

“Rich? I don’t think so.” Su Chang said.

“He just said that he’s a fruit seller. How can he be rich?”

“He probably lost all his money.”

Zhang Xu didn’t think too much about Lin Yi’s identity.

After all, he had already said that he was a fruit seller. He must have lost all his money and was now in dire straits.

Just as the two of them were talking, the argument in the back row became more and more intense.

“I’m telling you, don’t talk nonsense, or I’ll sue you for slander!” Wang Fang pointed at Lin Yi.

“Heh…”

Lin Yi sneered, “You better not point your finger at me. There were many people like you before, but now the grass on their grave is more than two meters tall.”

Wang Fang was stunned by Lin Yi’s aura and turned to look at Yan Ci.

“You’re the person in charge of the investment event today, right?”

“Yes, I am.”

Yan Ci didn’t understand. Why did she turn the blame onto her?

“Let me introduce myself first. My name is Wang Fang, and I’m the general manager of Feiyuan Food Company. I’m here to bid for the sponsorship. I hope you can chase him out now to avoid disrupting the order here.”

After learning of Wang Fang’s identity, some people in the venue started discussing softly.

Feiyuan Food Company was a new company in the food industry. However, it had built up rapid momentum and had a considerable market in the coastal area. It had a certain influence and status in the industry. They did not expect her to personally participate in the investment meeting today.

Yan Ci combed his hair and smiled.

“I’m afraid that’s not possible. He’s my friend. He’s here today to support me. No matter what his motive is, I won’t chase him out.”

Yan Ci’s tone was gentle, and at the same time, she was firm in telling Wang Fang that Lin Yi wouldn’t be leaving. If she didn’t want to stay here, she was free to leave.

Su Chang, who was sitting in the front row, looked at Yan Ci in disdain and thought to herself,

“You guys are just an adulterous couple. You make it sound so dignified.”

After so many years of hard work, Wang Fang understood what Yan Ci meant.

“Since you don’t want him to leave, I’ll leave. There are many variety shows around. Do you think I’m afraid that I won’t be able to find a place to spend the money?”

Wang Fang turned around angrily and walked to the front row. She said to the two middle-aged women,

“I don’t think such a small program will become popular. Spending money to sponsor them is equivalent to wasting money. Let’s go too.”

“Alright, I didn’t want to come at first anyway.”

Under Wang Fang’s call, her two friends stood up with their bags. However, Wang Fang had no intention of stopping. Instead, she said to the others present,

“Everyone, although we don’t know each other, we’re all from the same circle. We might have a chance to work together in the future. I hope everyone will give me face and not participate in this investment In the food industry.”

After Wang Fang finished speaking, many people present whispered to each other and discussed softly.

Although her Feiyuan Food Company was not yet a big shot in the industry, it had a certain amount of influence and status.

In comparison, the variety show was not as important.

After all, there were still many other variety shows to invest in. There was no need to provoke their friends in the industry over such a small matter.

Under Wang Fang’s influence, more than ten people walked out one after another, as if they were not prepared to participate in this meeting.

Wang Fang looked at Yan Ci and sneered. “Since you’re willing to offend me because of him, you have to bear the cost. I wish you success in your recruitment.”

Yan Ci’s expression did not change. “Take care. I won’t send you off.”

Originally, Wang Fang wanted to use this matter to threaten Yan Ci, but she did not expect her to not feel anything at all. This made her even angrier, and she turned around and left.

Moreover, she had already blacklisted Yan Ci and even planned to gather the industry players to boycott this show.

“That’s f*cking unlucky,” Lin Yi said.

“I’m just here to support a friend. I didn’t expect to encounter such a f*cking thing.”

“Alright, calm down. Who asked you to be so good-looking?” Yan Ci patted Lin Yi’s shoulder and smiled.

“The investment event is about to begin. I’ll go over and take care of my business first. I won’t worry about you.”

“Okay, go ahead.”

Although more than ten people had left, Lin Yi didn’t take it to heart. The title sponsorship fee they could give was probably not enough to buy him a car.

After the storm ended, the investment event entered a countdown. Su Chang smiled and said,

“Yan Ci is really loyal. She actually offended so many investors for the sake of her old flame. She can forget about successfully getting any investments today.”

“She probably thought that with so many people at the scene, it wouldn’t matter even if a dozen of them left.”

“That’s why I’ve always felt that she’s not smart at all and doesn’t understand the market,” Su Chang said.

“Before I started the show, I did a systematic investigation on these potential sponsors. Among the people present, that woman called Wang Fang is indeed the only strong candidate. And she came personally today, presumably to fight for the exclusive sponsorship rights. Now, the biggest sponsor has been angered and left. Moreover, the few people she took away are not too poor. I reckon the remaining people are all rotten fish and shrimp.”

“Based on what you said, the aforementioned upper limit of 50 million is now considered high.” Zhang Xu gloated.

Su Chang looked at the remaining people present and said,

“Look at the rest of these ugly people. I can’t name any of them. They’re probably all small businesses, so I’m guessing that the final investment amount won’t exceed 30 million. It can be considered the most awkward investment meeting in history..”
