Hearing this, Cheng Yi couldn't help but laugh... no, to be precise, she really laughed.
A mocking glint involuntarily appeared on her eyebrows, and her eyes were full of sarcasm: "Sister He Jing, you're out. Is this all the ability you have? You really disappoint me."
Upon hearing this, He Jing stopped twirling her pen and raised her eyelids noncommittally.
A faint smile played on her lips, revealing no sign of distress: "What's the rush? The results aren't out yet, are they?"
She paused, then deliberately glanced at the letter of intent in Zhao Shi's hand, her gaze fixed on the one belonging to the Cheng Group, a look that held a deep meaning—
"Your offer may not be as high as mine."
Cheng Yi scoffed, wanting to express her disdain, but when her eyes fell on the camera in the live broadcast room, she held back.
She tossed her hair, the movement casual yet elegant, but the crescent-shaped eyes on her now-pure face looked utterly hypocritical.
Cheng Yi said, "Sister He Jing, it's best not to be too confident. Although I'm still young, Sister He Jing isn't much older than me. I bet I'll win this round."
He Jing smiled and then gestured to Zhao Shi to continue.
Zhao Shi then continued.
Before long, all the companies present had quoted their prices, leaving only the Cheng Group's price.
Zhao Shi reverently opened the letter of intent that carried the dreams of all the workers in Ziyun Family, his hands almost trembling.
He took a few deep breaths, trying to suppress his excitement and force himself to calm down, then turned to the last page and saw the price—
"20 million!"
It's 20 million!
Zhao Shi immediately expressed his joy.
Zhao Shi was overjoyed. Although the price wasn't as high as he had imagined, it was still much higher than what Ziyun Home had initially expected, enough to support Ziyun Home's operation for a long time!
The Cheng Group truly lives up to its reputation as a powerful force in City A; its spending is extravagant, leaving others far behind.
Cheng Yi saw the other representatives' expressions change, and a smug smile appeared on her lips. She then looked at He Jing and saw that He Jing raised an eyebrow, seemingly surprised as well. Cheng Yi felt even more smug.
Although the price she offered was much higher than her ideal price, it would be really satisfying to see He Jing's frustrated expression after the failure.
She listened to the advisory group's suggestions, and although she was reluctant to admit it, she had to accept the fact that He Jing was not easy to deal with.
Zhao Shi was extremely glad that he hadn't been bewitched by He Jing before, and looked at He Jing with a beaming smile: "Ms. He, I'm sorry that we couldn't cooperate this time. I hope we can cooperate next time."
He Jing frowned.
At this moment, the fans in the live stream were overjoyed:
"Hahaha, this is hilarious! One second I was saying my Yi Bao was a bit too young, and the next second she's proven me wrong. My Yi Bao is like a protagonist from a satisfying novel!"
"I have to say, He Jing is incredibly arrogant."
"I'm really fed up with Jing. She has absolutely no skills, but she spouts loads of nonsense. If she's so good at showing off, why doesn't she give herself a nickname like 'King of Show-Off'?"
"I mean, they don't even cry and run away, they're really shameless."
The atmosphere was as lively as during the Chinese New Year.
Although many passersby wanted to defend He Jing because of her good looks, they also felt that He Jing had spoken too early and was too arrogant.
He Ning's fans are still desperately trying to salvage the situation, while also being somewhat annoyed by their "sister-in-law's" youthful arrogance.
However, the person in charge remained extremely calm, maintaining his original posture without any extra expression.
That's as steady as a mountain.
Instead, Cheng Yi stood up from her chair and smiled sweetly: "Sister He Jing, you flatter me. I would never dare to underestimate you."
