Li Yuanyuan glanced gratefully at Zhao Daming, thinking to herself, "That title 'Brother Zhao' wasn't for nothing."
"Brother Zhao is right!"
She picked up the bottle, filled her glass again, and raised it to Vice Mayor Ma once more.
"Mayor Ma, I'd like to offer you another toast!"
"Gurgle!"
After the second cup, a captivating blush spread across her exquisite face.
Vice Mayor Ma remained unmoved, his eyes growing increasingly cold.
"Mayor Ma, we salute you!"
The third cup.
"To you!"
The fourth cup.
Li Ailian stood by anxiously, her eyes reddening, gripping Zhao Daming's arm tightly, but she dared not utter a sound.
Zhao Daming maintained his smile, but inwardly he cursed Vice Mayor Ma for being so ruthless; he was practically driving someone to their death!
When Li Yuanyuan picked up the sixth glass of wine with trembling hands, her body was already swaying and her vision was beginning to blur.
The cold, icy knocking of Vice Mayor Ma finally stopped.
He slowly raised his head and spoke, his voice calm yet carrying an undeniable authority.
"Mr. Li, please sit down."
He picked up his wine glass, but didn't drink it. He simply raised it slightly in Li Yuanyuan's direction.
I appreciate your kind gesture.
Li Yuanyuan let out a long sigh of relief, her stomach churning. She forced herself to sit down, her back instantly soaked with cold sweat.
"Mayor Ma..."
She took a breath, raised her hazy, drunken eyes, and spoke in a slightly trembling voice, yet with perfect clarity.
"The smelter covers a thousand acres and is a massive project. I know that the construction of the factory buildings must be decided by the smelter's senior management."
"However, such a large project will definitely involve outsourcing."
Li Yuanyuan's gaze swept over everyone present, finally settling on Vice Mayor Ma's face. She raised a fair, jade-like finger and gently flicked it.
"As long as Mayor Ma can help me, I can secure any one of these outsourcing projects."
Her voice wasn't loud, but it was like a thunderclap, booming in everyone's ears.
"I, Li Yuanyuan, am willing to offer you one-tenth of the project's profits as a token of my respect!"
Buzz!
The whole world seemed to have fallen silent.
The chopsticks in Director Qian's hand fell to the ground with a "clatter".
The smile on Zhao Daming's face vanished completely, replaced by utter shock.
Even Shen Ji, who had been drowsy with drunkenness, instantly sobered up, his eyes filled with horror.
Meanwhile, Vice Mayor Ma, who had remained as steady as a mountain in the main seat, suddenly had his pupils contract in his usually calm and composed face!
One percent profit!
This woman is insane!
Does she even know what "one percent of the profits" from outsourced projects of a smelting plant covering thousands of acres means?
That's an astronomical figure that could drive anyone crazy!
