"Pfft, Mom, how come I never noticed you had such a dramatic soul before? It's such a waste that you're not an actor. Otherwise, I'll arrange for you to get into the industry and play a 'real mother-daughter' role opposite Little Koi in a movie?"
Fei Chu laughed heartily, teasing her mother.
"Get out of here! I was just upset. You know, I'm usually a pretty decent person, and I've never used my family background to bully anyone. But she came here and immediately tried to intimidate me. Anyone who didn't know better would think her family was some kind of superpower!"
Ye Su rolled her eyes, getting angrier the more she thought about it.
"These petty people have gotten ahead. Auntie, there's no need to stoop to their level. Speaking of which, the Cui family might really be on their way to the top."
Jing Li smiled softly, pursing her lips.
"Does our little lucky koi know any inside information? Tell us quickly."
Ye Su's eyes lit up, and she asked with a gossipy look on her face.
The atmosphere at home was wonderfully harmonious, filled with the joy of gossiping.
"Ahem, Uncle Fei and Brother Fei should know about the Cui family acquiring the Yunyantai land, right?"
Jing Li looked at the father and son with a smile.
"You mean, their family has climbed into politics? That's interesting. I wonder if it's the Jing family or the Zhang family. I heard they also bought the land next door with Shen Yuanfan, but the price hasn't been announced yet. Little Koi, do you know anything about this?"
Fei Chu raised an eyebrow and gave a malicious smile.
Jing Li smiled and nodded, first making a "one" gesture, then a "five".
"150 million? That's too low... Is your brother being suppressed?"
Fei Haicheng frowned.
"1.5 billion."
Kegri smiled.
Holy crap?!
"This is outrageous! Do you think the Cui family would agree? That piece of land isn't even worth half of Yunyantai's!"
The family of three was extremely surprised, as this price far exceeded the market value of that piece of land.
"They have no choice but to agree, because I threatened that if they don't buy that land, I'll build a farm next door, grow crops, raise pigs, and slaughter cattle and sheep!"
Thinking of the ugly faces of the father and son back then, Jing Li smiled brightly.
"You went to negotiate? Holy crap, that's incredible!"
Fei Chu gave a thumbs up, admiring her younger sister-in-law even more. She never expected her to have such a business mind.
To be able to subdue the renowned Cui family, father and son, and make them willingly part with so much money, her skill level is quite high. Isn't being an entertainer a waste of her talent?
He needs to reflect on this.
"Don't swear, Little Koi has the style I had back in the day."
Ye Su was overjoyed and found her daughter-in-law increasingly pleasing to the eye.
"The fact that three construction teams entered the site at the same time shows that they are determined to win the bid. That piece of land is also suitable for building a city that never sleeps. That kid Cui Yu is quite capable."
Although Fei Haicheng didn't openly praise Jing Li, the smile on his face didn't lie.
They had heard that the Cui family had acquired the Yunyantai at the lowest price. The Fei family, because some members were involved in politics and the military, did not engage in such shady dealings; their businesses were all legitimate and they naturally would not participate in the bidding for that piece of land.
"Now it seems that the Cui family has really climbed up to the powerful and wealthy. The other party is blatantly giving them preferential treatment. No wonder they are so confident and dare to throw so much money into it all at once."
Fei Chu nodded repeatedly. Several hundred billion was no small sum. Even the Fei family would have to think twice. Yet his family had invested it all in one go. Without a strong backing, who would dare to play like that?
"I still think it's too impulsive. After all, it's still uncertain whether the world will belong to the Jing family or the Zhang family. If Desheng ends up being the rival, I'm afraid they'll be the first to target the Cui family. How could the Cui family patriarch let them do that?"
Ye Su shook her head, disagreeing with the Cui family's desperate gamble.
