He Jing turned her head slightly and glanced at her.
She remained unmoved, her fingers tapping the table unintentionally, producing a rhythmic low melody.
Zhao Shi flattered Cheng Yi: "President Cheng, you are truly young and promising."
Although relying on its wealth to lavishly acquire this project doesn't necessarily demonstrate capability, who wouldn't mind currying favor with their soon-to-be-appointed boss?
At this moment, He Jing slowly spoke: "Where is her youthful promise?"
"Is it possible that You invested 20 million in a company that currently only needs 10 million?"
"Is it because Wei was bad at math since childhood, so he knows nothing about finance as an adult?"
The tone was as casual as talking about the weather, but the content was incredibly sarcastic, as if it were trying to choke someone to death.
Upon hearing He Jing's words, Zhao Shi's eyes widened, and he immediately looked somewhat embarrassed.
Cheng Yi increasingly felt that He Jing was just being sour grapes, resorting to personal attacks out of resentment. She smiled sweetly and said, "Sister He Jing, I know I wasn't as smart as you when I was in school, so I've always tried my best to learn from you. But you don't have to say that about me! Although I majored in film and television, Sister He Jing, you seem to have studied chemistry too."
He Jing ignored her completely, her aloof expression mirroring He Ning's.
She smiled at Zhao Shi and said, "Mr. Zhao, are you really not going to take a look at the letter of intent from the Forbidden Talk Studio? Even if the price is low, I still believe we have the right to be respected."
Zhao Shi was very impatient. He tugged at the hem of his clothes and said, "Miss He, everything has a set outcome. The result is already out, so there's no point in arguing any further."
He Jing sighed softly, and a long, low "oh" escaped from her red lips.
She stood up from her chair, nodded to her assistant beside her, and said, "Let's go."
Upon receiving the instruction, the assistant hesitated slightly but still obediently followed He Jing outside.
However, Cheng Yi suddenly called out to the two of them, "Wait."
She shouted loudly and urgently, afraid that He Jing would take another step forward and leave the conference room.
Zhao Shi asked, puzzled, "Mr. Cheng, why are you keeping them here?"
Cheng Yi clenched her fist and looked at the camera in the live broadcast room—
She knew that the fans in the live stream were already screaming with anxiety.
For the sake of the live broadcast's success, she couldn't just let He Jing leave like that. Firstly, if Ziyun Home didn't comply with He Jing's request to open and read the letter of intent, allowing He Jing to die knowing the truth, people would inevitably bring up this suspense later on.
Secondly, it's because He Jing, despite clearly losing, put on an arrogant victor's posture, attempting to leave with dignity, which is simply unforgivable.
She clearly won, so why is He Jing so calm?
She deserved to be humiliated, angry, and utterly disheveled, then run away from here with tears in her eyes.
Therefore, she had to keep He Jing here, not only to keep her here, but also to make Zhao Shi meet He Jing's demands.
She was determined to defeat He Jing completely.
So, she feigned leniency and said to Zhao Shi, "Mr. Zhao, since Sister He Jing is already here, why don't you just let her take a look at the letter of intent?"
"In the end, this is just a normal business competition. There's nothing shameful about winning or losing. Sister He Jing will definitely accept it!"
She spoke with such certainty, as if victory was already in her grasp, and didn't forget to deliberately bring up He Jing, "Sister He Jing, don't you think so?"
“Of course.” He Jing smiled flawlessly. “As long as Sister Chengyi can accept it, I can accept any outcome.”
