Li Xuxian, who was standing nearby, also came over to congratulate her, saying, "Sister, congratulations!"
Lee Boo-jin glanced at her second sister, then looked at her brother-in-law, Kim Jae-yeol, the second son of the Dong-A Ilbo.
This couple is a powerful combination, but they don't have much say in the family. However, Lee Boo-jin, as the older sister, still nodded in agreement.
"Are you planning to get married at multiple times?"
Li Xuxian smiled and said, "It should be in August this year. Brother-in-law, you must come if you have time then."
"Um, I might not be available, but I'll still send a big gift when it's not time."
"Thank you, brother-in-law. Most of the guests have arrived, let's go in."
As everyone entered the venue, Li Jianxi was overjoyed to see Shen Fang arrive, and Shen Fang presented him with a prepared gift.
"Uncle, I know you like drinking tea. This is Da Hong Pao, the finest mother tree tea from China. Aunt, these are a pair of jade bracelets that I specially bought from a jade auction. Please take a look and see if you like them."
Lee Geon-hee looked satisfied: "That's thoughtful, I really like it."
Hong Luoxi was extremely satisfied; the pair of emerald bracelets that Shen Fang had given her were exactly what she wanted. She was very pleased with this son-in-law—handsome, wealthy, kind to her daughter, and very polite—a perfect match!
Li Jianxi handed Shen Fang a cigarette: "I heard you've recently gained fame in the American investment circle and have gotten involved with two stock market gurus."
Shen Fang took the cigarette and tried to light it for Li Jianxi: "Uncle, you're very well-informed."
Lee Kun-hee smiled: "Samsung also has investment institutions on Wall Street, and we attended the dinner that day. I heard you have a good relationship with Goldman Sachs?"
"It's alright. It's mutually beneficial, and we all make money together. That's what friendship is all about. You help me, I help you, and we all make money together. As long as it brings profit, we're all good friends."
Lee Kun-hee nodded and then noticed the diamond ring on Lee Boo-jin's hand.
"Tomijin, what's wrong with you...???"
Hong Ra-hee, who was standing nearby, also noticed the pigeon-egg-sized diamond ring on Lee Boo-jin's hand.
Lee Boo-jin, holding Chen Fang's arm, said with a happy expression, "My darling has proposed to me."
Li Jianxi was overjoyed. His eldest daughter had been rebellious and disobedient since she was young, but she was exceptionally capable and beautiful. To be honest, even his eldest son wouldn't be worthy of carrying her shoes.
However, Lee Boo-jin is a woman, so there's nothing he can do. As the only male heir, Lee Jae-yong is still Lee Geon-hee's first choice for the Lee family's heir. Even if he's useless, he's still family.
However, Lee Boo-jin always wanted to prove herself, and he couldn't stop her. It wouldn't be good to favor one over the other, otherwise Lee Jae-yong would always feel that victory was in his grasp and wouldn't grow. So Lee Geon-hee was always trying to balance the two of them.
Lee Geon-hee is very pleased that Lee Boo-jin has found someone he can entrust his life to and who can protect her. He still likes his outstanding eldest daughter very much.
"Good, very good. Are you planning to get married soon? Dad will definitely give you a grand wedding and make sure you have a proper wedding."
Lee Jae-yong chimed in, "As your older brother, I'll also prepare a generous gift so you can have a grand wedding!!!"
Lee Boo-jin smiled: "There's no rush to get married, my dear, you're still young. But we're planning to have a child first. Father Chen Fang has already promised me that the child will take my surname and become a member of the Lee family. Father, please give me a chance!!!"
Li Jianxi was stunned when he heard this... He didn't expect his daughter to still be so hopeful.
Lee Jae-yong, standing to the side, instantly flew into a rage. This guy was clearly trying to steal his inheritance!
"Lee Boo-jin, stop dreaming!!! This position is mine!!! Don't be delusional!!!" When he said this, Lee Jae-yong was completely insane, and his entire face showed a ferocious expression.
Lin Shiling, who was standing to the side, was a little frightened. Lee Jae-yong had been very gentle and refined during their dates these past few days, and had never lost his composure like this before.
"Shut up!!! Stop being so incompetent!!! Don't embarrass me here!!!" Li Jianxi scolded.
After saying that, he turned his gaze to Lee Boo-jin: "Boo-jin, don't make things difficult for your father. I'm willing to give you anything you want, but that position..."
Lee Boo-jin smiled: "Dad, I just want the right to compete fairly. I will show you. I believe I can lead Samsung to a brighter future, and we promise that Samsung will always belong to the Lee family!!!"
Li Jianxi looked at Shen Fang: "Shen Fangxi, are you willing?"
Shen Fang shrugged: "I am indeed quite wealthy, and to be honest, Uncle, I'm not really surprised by your wealth. Samsung is indeed powerful, but that's only in South Korea. My current business layout only needs 10 years to develop into a global business empire. You should also believe that I have that capability."
"If Fu Zhen didn't particularly want that position, with my abilities, I could easily make her the mistress of a business empire, or even its leader. That wouldn't be difficult for me at all."
Li Jianxi nodded. He didn't think there was anything wrong with Shen Fang's words. Shen Fang was already worth billions of RMB at the age of 20. What was he doing at 20? Moreover, Shen Fang's investments were in the most promising industries on the market: internet, finance, and real estate. He might not necessarily surpass him, but becoming a top billionaire wouldn't be difficult. In fact, he already was.
"Although Chinese and Korean traditions are somewhat similar, they generally favor men when it comes to succession. But we are now in a new era, and you are well aware of Boo-jin's abilities. So I wanted to suggest that you consider this."
Li Jianxi gave Shen Fang a deep look: "Shen Fangxi, you keep your word? You're willing???"
Shen Fang shrugged: "Of course."
Lee Geon-hee nodded and looked at Lee Boo-jin: "I can give you a chance, but I will favor your older brother more in terms of inheritance rights, and that is only if you can give birth to a boy with our Lee surname. As for Shim Bang-hee, this is a struggle between the two siblings, and I hope you will not interfere."
Li Jianxi was genuinely afraid that Shen Fang and his daughter would get involved and ruin his eldest son, who wasn't very bright to begin with.
Lee Jae-yong panicked: "Father!!!"
Lee Kun-hee glanced at Lee Jae-yong: "I'm in charge at Samsung now!!! If you want to take my place, show me how it works!!!! Samsung doesn't need a leader who only knows how to rage incompetently!!! Don't embarrass me here!!!"
Shen Fang nodded: "No problem, Uncle. As long as no one harms Fu Zhen's personal safety, I can stay out of it."
Lee Kun-hee gave Lee Jae-yong a cold look, then smiled again: "No, it's normal competition. The Lee family wouldn't produce a leader with such an inhuman nature!!!"
These words were addressed to both Shim Bang and Lee Jae-yong.
