Lee Jae-hyun regretted it. If he had known earlier, he would have made the Li family's attitude towards Tang Jinyan worse. Maybe he could have tricked Tang Jinyan into joining him.
However, he also knew that Tang Jinyan was not someone who could be easily tricked. He had already judged most things. The more honest he was, the more trustworthy he would be. However, he did not expect such a strange attitude from Tang Jinyan. It made him swallow all his thoughts and unable to continue.
If Tang Jinyan had such an attitude, then from the perspective of Mao Zedong's camp, not stepping on him was already out of respect for T-ara. There was no need to talk about cooperation.
He still made a final effort and tried to persuade him from another perspective. "Your steady progress is too slow.
You have to know that wealth comes from danger. In this situation, your biggest benefit is to get involved in my CJ.
With your relationship with Mao Zedong, she will tacitly allow you to hold CJ's authority. The Li family will also be indecisive because of your involvement.
Although you are at the heart of the struggle, if you operate it well … maybe CJ will become yours? "
Tang Jinyan laughed. "I don't know if President Li still remembers what I said when we first met."
Lee Jae-hyun was stunned. The long-forgotten conversation suddenly became clear at this moment.
At that time, Tang Jinyan said, "Even if you give me the entire CJ, I will not betray my brothers."
It turned out to be a prophecy.
Lee Jae-hyun's mood became very bad. With a sullen face, he said, "Then that's it. I wish you a good relationship with the Li family. In the future, I will give you a grand wedding."
"I said there's no need to provoke me …" Tang Jinyan said slowly, "I don't need to curry favor with them in order to gain their favor, nor do I need to oppose them in order to make them think highly of me.
President Li helped T-ara back then. I have always remembered this favor, so this time … although I won't help President Li, I won't oppose you either. "
Lee Jae-hyun shook his head and said, "You won't get any benefits with such an impartial attitude."
Tang Jinyan was silent for a moment and said in a low voice, "I don't want to get any benefits from the Li family."
*****
After leaving the club, Tang Jinyan went straight to the headquarters of the New Village Group.
Stepping into Lee Yoon-rim's office, she was reading a report at her desk.
Tang Jinyan did not know if it was a psychological effect, but he felt that she had become even thinner, as if she would be blown away by the wind.
His gaze fell on the medicine bottle on the table again.
Hormones?
Medicine Lady?
God knows what kind of medicine this is …
Sensing that someone had entered the door, Lee Yoon-rim looked up and saw that it was Tang Jinyan. She smiled and squinted her eyes. "Oh, you actually have the time to come and see me. I thought you would stay in your family's gentle home until you return to Jeju Island."
Lee Yoon-rim used to say this sentence full of jealousy, but it had never been like today. It made Tang Jinyan feel a little pain in his heart.
He didn't show it, but a smile appeared on his face. "I just came out of the clubhouse after eating."
Lee Yoon-rim was stunned and looked at the time. "It's almost three o 'clock. Who did you talk to for so long?"
Tang Jinyan walked to her side and looked at the report on her desk. He answered casually, "Lee Jae-hyun."
Lee Yoon-rim pursed her lips. "He's in trouble this time. He's looking for a way out, but he still came to us."
"Aren't you going to ask him about the proposal?"
"There's no need to ask. You won't talk to him anyway. It's useless to give you CJ."
Tang Jinyan tilted his head and glanced at her, smiling slightly.
Lee Yoon-rim also looked up at him and smiled.
Tang Jinyan's gaze fell on the report on the desk. "First quarter financial report?"
"Yes.
The New Village Group's various businesses, logistics, shopping malls, and Jian 'an, are not obvious, but the combined income is really high.
Purely on the books, it's higher than Incheon's smuggling business. However, Incheon is ours alone. The New Village Group has to share the profits. "
Lee Yoon-rim smiled. "In terms of market value, if the New Village Group is listed, it may not be lower than Tang Dynasty."
"You also have the idea of listing the New Village Group?"
"It's not the time yet."
"Well …" Tang Jinyan stared at the financial report for a while and smiled. "Purely looking at the income, our business with the lowest income now is Cool Breeze."
"Our total income from Cool Breeze includes the income from shares of the major entertainment centers in the red light district. The total income is not low.
But purely looking at our own nightclubs and casinos, compared to other businesses, it's a bit low. "Lee Yoon-rim smiled." What do you think? "
"Casinos." Tang Jinyan whispered. "It's time to regularize."
Lee Yoon-rim laughed. "Then Lee Eun-suk and the rest will be laughing.
Isn't this the goal of you brothers for many years? "
Tang Jinyan smiled. "I used to think that it was very far away, but now it seems to be close at hand.
It's just that when I look up, there are still mountains beyond the mountains, and I can't see the end of it. "
Lee Yoon-rim said leisurely, "That's because as far as your eyes can see, it's already the Li family and the Xin family.
– How about Zhang Shanyun? "
"Not as beautiful as you." Tang Jinyan answered matter-of-factly.
"Do I need you to say that?" Lee Yoon-rim giggled. "Of course I'm more beautiful than them."
Tang Jinyan lowered his eyes. "Breasts are a sore spot."
Lee Yoon-rim's smile froze on his face. After a few seconds, he jumped up in exasperation. "I'm a man, where am I going to find breasts?!
I, I, I … I'm going to Thailand tomorrow! "
Tang Jinyan stretched his back and walked to the sofa. He lay down lazily. "At that time, you said you were going to Thailand to break your fifth limb, but you haven't gone yet …"
"That …" Lee Yoon-rim bit her lower lip. "Actually, it's not a big deal that I don't have breasts. Lin Yuner, didn't you also have a lot of fun nibbling on them?"
Tang Jinyan laughed. "They can still squeeze. You can't squeeze even if you want to."
Lee Yoon-rim rolled her eyes and said sweetly, "Although I don't have breasts, I have something that they don't have …"
Tang Jinyan looked at her with a half-smile.
Lee Yoon-rim walked to the sofa and sat down next to him. "It's a unique taste. Wuli, Brother Nine, do you want to try it?"
"What's that saying again?"
Tang Jinyan sighed. "The Japanese think that girls with canine teeth are cute. The Americans think that girls with freckles are cute. Only you guys think that girls with big boobs are cute …"
Lee Yoon-rim almost laughed out loud. "Where did you hear such a reasonable saying?"
"Who says it's reasonable?"
"It's cute to begin with!
You're the one who doesn't understand romance, "Lee Yoon-rim said with a smile." When the day comes that you think it's cute, then I'll have succeeded. "
Tang Jinyan sighed. "Yoon-rim …"
"Hmm?"
"Go find a woman. It's the best thing."
"Okay, Jung Eun-thi?
She's not your girl anymore anyway. "
"This again … Even if she's not my girl, it'll still be awkward.
Actually, I think you can consider that little secretary of yours … "
Lee Yoon-rim chuckled. "Do you think I'll chase a woman who's not even as pretty as me?"
Tang Jinyan said helplessly, "That's too high of a standard. Even Eun-thi doesn't meet it … Then you can only be alone for the rest of your life."
"But I have you …"
"I treat you like a brother, but you're always thinking about getting on top of me …"
Lee Yoon-rim laughed as she lay on top of him and punched him.
She didn't know why Tang Jinyan had so much free time that he actually came over and joked with her for the whole afternoon. But she was very happy.
She didn't feel like she was acting alone on an empty stage anymore.
