Magnate Tycoon: How Did Simply Enjoying Life Make Me a Male God?-Chapter 603 - 416: Wen Lan’s Investment (Part 2)

Her slender fingers grazed over Li Jing's firm chest, the lingering warmth at her fingertips gradually warming the air: "If you do me this favor tonight..."

The tone stretched long, her eyes full of allure, those charming almond-shaped eyes slightly squinted, resembling a cunning fox. She continued, "Tonight, I am yours."

Upon hearing this, Li Jing, suddenly stirred by the other, felt a rising heat but quickly grasped her mischievous wrist, asserting, "You are already my woman, do we really need terms for that?"

Wei Jia withdrew her hand, leaned back into the driver's seat, her gaze turning icy, followed by a cold laugh:

"We're not married. This kind of relationship can end at any time. If you want me, it's only with my consent.

Otherwise, your actions count as harassment..."

As she spoke, she suddenly leaned closer, her hair brushing against his cheek, warm breath on his ear, "Careful, I might report you for harassing female subordinates."

Hearing this, the heat Li Jing had just felt was instantly extinguished, amused and exasperated: "Are you too ruthless for a woman?"

"If I'm not ruthless, wouldn't I be toyed with by you like other women?"

Wei Jia took off her glasses, a seductive smile playing on her lips.

She unbuttoned the top two buttons of her suit, revealing her delicate collarbone and a vast expanse of fair skin: "I've learned quite a few new tricks lately, don't you want to try them?"

The contrasting mix of Wei Jia's company woman strength and her current allure made Li Jing's heartbeat unconsciously quicken.

Suppressing the heat within, he said, "Alright, since you said so, I've agreed. Tonight, you'll have to serve me well."

"OK, I'll take you to meet an old friend now."

"Friend? What else do you want from me?"

Seeing him agree, Wei Jia started the car, a subtle smile at her lips, a reflection of her triumphant grin in the rearview mirror, "You'll know when we get there."

...

The black Maybach slowly stopped by the street, Wei Jia took off her gold-rimmed glasses, casually tossed them into a crocodile leather handbag:

"Here we are. This club operates a strict membership system, doesn't accept new customers, even members must book in advance.

The entire club has fewer than 10 VIP rooms, each sound-proofed professionally, extremely private. Many business tycoons love to come here for deals, expensive but renowned for its class and secrecy."

Li Jing gazed at the building ahead, brimming with a retro Europe and America style, pale yellow marble exterior walls adorned with reliefs, bronze angel sculpture holding a laurel branch stood atop the fountain, stained glass dome glowing with a mysterious halo in the night. It appears nothing more than a refined old building.

Entering the copper revolving door, Li Jing discovered the inner majesty.

Dark walnut flooring and dazzling crystal chandeliers intertwined, Renaissance style oil paintings lined the walls, each one set in gold engraved frames.

Waiters in tailcoats approached with silver trays, bone china tea sets adorned with intricate iris patterns, the air perfumed with a blend of cedar and amber.

Down the Persian carpeted corridor, medieval knight armor and gilded candlesticks displayed on either side.

Wei Jia pushed open the oak door inlaid with shells and mother-of-pearl, warmth flooded the private room.

Rococo style carved fireplace burning aromatic wood, velvet sofas in Louis XV style surrounded an ebony tea table, crystal chandeliers casting candle-shaped lights on Byzantine mosaic walls.

Once the waiter brewed the tea and departed, Wei Jia unveiled the secret: "Tonight's meeting is with Wen Lan, she wants your investment."

Li Jing was surprised upon hearing the news, his brows knitting slightly: "With Wen Lan's current status, she shouldn't be short on investors."

Ever since the Mortal's film became a hit, Wen Lan shot to fame, attracting numerous investments.

Wei Jia shook her head, chuckled lightly explaining: "Wen Lan indeed doesn't lack investors for her films now, but this time she plans to partner with Tianhai TV for an actor selection variety show.

Her character only values acting skills over popularity, wants to discover new talent through the show, both to groom future movie actors and to increase her exposure via the variety show.

Nowadays, the variety show flow exceeds that of movies, making it a great opportunity to boost her fame. The project has a total investment of three hundred million; she's secured two hundred but still needs the final bit, so she thought of you."

She pushed a proposal over, lightly tapping her nail on keywords like "new actor selection," "performance-oriented format": "You've been her talent scout for her previous movies, hence you're the first she thought of."

After listening to the project introduction, Li Jing raised a brow, focusing on Wei Jia's meticulously adorned face, asking: "Is this investment on behalf of the company, or in my personal capacity?"

Wei Jia retorted, "A project this huge, how could you think of personal investment?"

She then teased him, "Seriously, how wealthy are you really? A billion project seems insignificant through your words."

Wei Jia, hearing this, squinted slightly, unwittingly leaned closer to Li Jing, seemingly joking but really probing:

"I feel like your wealth is endless? And you don't seem to care. Are you secretly holding some astonishing fortune you haven't told me?"

Li Jing looked at Wei Jia's curious yet earnest expression, couldn't help but chuckle, wrapping an arm around her waist, teasing:

"Curious to know? Serve me well now, and maybe in my delight, I'll tell you everything."

Wei Jia blushed, softly spat, forcefully pushed away Li Jing's hand, standing up from him. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

She raised a hand to straighten her crisp suit, her tone laced with slight complaint:

"If you don't want to say, fine, don't jest with me. Want me to accompany you well tonight? Then have a proper talk with Wen Lan, stop acting so frivolously."

Seeing her serious attitude, Li Jing restrained his joking manner, bringing the topic back on track:

"If it's company investment, with your high standing, why not make the decision yourself? Why must I be present?

For all those other projects, didn't you make decisions directly? Even this billion project doesn't necessarily need me to negotiate with Wen Lan, does it?"

Wei Jia gently shook her head, her demeanor turning solemn: "Those were different cases. Previous projects advanced strictly per the board's decisions, everyone agreed.

But this variety investment is a new business area for us, marking unprecedented involvement.

My insistence on investing largely stems from faith in Wen Lan, recognizing her professional prowess.

But other directors won't see it that way; they might view this as mere personal ties between me and Wen Lan, unlikely to support the idea.

If this comes from you, while I assist, as founder and chairperson, it will likely sway the board."

Realizing her intention, Li Jing was enlightened.

Recently, as the company expanded, a board was formed.

As the founder, he naturally assumed the position of chairperson; while Wei Jia, as a key shareholder, became vice chairperson and general manager.

Besides them, the board included several other directors.

For routine operations, if beneficial to the company, Wei Jia's suggestions generally passed the board smoothly.

However, this variety investment delved into fresh business territory intertwined with Wei Jia's personal connections. A standalone proposal from her would struggle for board approval; thus Wei Jia sought his support.

With their joint proposal, the project's board approval seemed near assured.

Understanding Wei Jia's plan, Li Jing gently nodded, "Alright, let's wait for Wen Lan to arrive and discuss further then."
