Moreover, the Cheng Group sent people to negotiate.

Almost as soon as the thought crossed his mind, He Jing spoke it aloud, saying, "Besides, the eldest daughter of the Cheng Group has already quoted a price, right? Given the Cheng Group's reputation, anyone else wanting to cooperate with Ziyun Family will have to offer a higher price, not a lower one. Otherwise, you'd rather choose the Cheng Group, wouldn't you?"

Zhao Shi then looked at He Jing more closely, quite impressed, and his attitude became serious: "Miss He, since you know, you should understand my difficulties. No businessman in the world wants to do unreliable business."

The implication is that the Banning Studio, compared to the Cheng Group, has a less prestigious reputation and carries considerable risk.

He Jing lightly tapped the inside of the coffee cup with her finger, her eyelashes slightly lowered as she smiled casually: "Of course I understand."

Now that things had come to this, there was no need for further pretense. Zhao Shi gave He Jing a few deep looks, a hint of eagerness in his eyes: "If Miss He could offer a higher price, perhaps there would be some opportunity."

He Jing raised her eyes and insisted, "Sixteen million is the limit I can offer."

Not a single penny more.

He Jing seemed so resolute.

Zhao Shi suddenly became somewhat embarrassed and angry, and stood up abruptly: "Then I'm sorry, Miss He, you either accept the public bidding or give up the idea. I'll have to take my leave now."

He Jing remained calm and composed, offering no resistance, only paying for the coffee after he left.

Who said He Jing was determined to win over Ziyun Home on this trip? She was just speculating on Cheng Yi's offer based on Zhao Shi's reaction, and now she already had a good idea of ​​what to expect.

When she arrived, He Jing knew that her mission would not succeed. No matter how high the price she offered, it would not satisfy Zhao Shi's desires. Zhao Shi would only take advantage of her.

Before transmigrating into the book, she was a successful businesswoman who knew the mindset of a startup newbie who desperately wanted to win the favor of big investors with a single product, open up the market overnight, and rise to the top in one step.

Zhao Shizheng had this mindset.

With the Cheng Group's patronage, this wasn't just wishful thinking or daydreaming, and He Jing could completely understand it.

So, after returning home, He Jing had someone contact Ziyun Home and choose to accept public fundraising.

This move was unexpected by Zhao Shi.

On the day of the bidding, He Jing went to the investment fair with an assistant. There, in front of the magnificent lobby, Cheng Yi and his entire team met her unexpectedly.

Cheng Yi wore a white business suit with a luxury belt with a diamond logo at the waist. She wore the most popular plain makeup at the moment, showing the true colors of a wealthy heiress. She shone brightly in the crowd, surrounded by admirers.

Everyone surrounding her seemed to be her supporting role, making her appear to have a strong presence.

Upon seeing He Jing, she deliberately stopped, gave her an enigmatic smile, and greeted her, "Sister He Jing, it's been a long time."

He Jing looked calm and composed, her hands in her pockets, her posture casual. She glanced at her indifferently without saying a word.

He Jing's assistant, unaware of the situation, stepped in to smooth things over for her boss: "Boss, it's almost time, we should go upstairs; Ms. Cheng, please excuse us."

He Jing nodded and walked towards the elevator.

Cheng Yi followed at a leisurely pace.

She kept smiling, not getting too close, as if she were the only one walking this way, but her live stream chat suddenly exploded.
