As everyone was surprised, Zhong Heng said with a beaming smile, "Everyone present must know that recently, our Hengjiu Group has been searching for strategic partners.
But we've searched for a long time without finding a suitable one. However, today I suddenly realize that the strategic partner I'm looking for has always been right in front of me. In other words, I must have been blind these past few months…"
Zhong Heng was in a great mood and spoke humorously, causing the audience to burst into laughter.
After the laughter died down, he continued, "So today, here, in my capacity as the chairman of Hengjiu Group, I officially announce, on behalf of Hengjiu Group, the establishment of a strategic partnership with Bai Group!
Additionally, given Bai Group's financial situation, Hengjiu Group will also provide certain financial support to Bai Group…"
Zhong Heng rapidly laid out numerous conditions, leaving everyone present dumbfounded, almost breathless.
It seemed all the conditions had one thing in common.
And that is…
Hengjiu Group is always at a loss, while Bai Group always gets the great deal!
Anyone with a bit of insight could see that this kind of cooperation was a losing proposition for Hengjiu Group!
Of course, this was only limited to economic losses.
Almost all the attendees of the jewelry exhibition were bigwigs in the business world. How could they not see through Zhong Heng's intentions?
The conditions Zhong Heng mentioned earlier were not meant for these so-called bigwigs to hear, but for Ye Qiu!
This profitless collaboration was clearly to win over Ye Qiu!
What others thought, Zhong Heng didn't know, nor did he care. At least his attitude was firm: If he could win over Ye Qiu, whatever he spent today would be worth it!
Clap! Clap! Clap!
After a brief silence, enthusiastic applause erupted again on the scene.
Many bigwigs approached Bai Lan in succession, offering their congratulations.
Amid this wonderful atmosphere, today's jewelry exhibition finally concluded smoothly.
The people at the scene gradually dispersed.
Bai Lan also found an opportunity to slip away, leaving with Ye Qiu.
The two returned to the villa.
As soon as they entered the living room, Bai Lan gracefully turned around and embraced Ye Qiu, smiling happily.
Seeing her happy, Ye Qiu naturally felt delighted as well, and he said with a smile, "Although there was a little hiccup today, the result is good. Establishing a strategic partnership with Hengjiu Group should greatly aid Bai Group's development, right?"
"Of course, a great deal." Bai Lan nodded slightly, smiling lightly, "Speaking of which, I really have to thank you for today's events. If it weren't for you, Zhong Heng couldn't have made such a decision, giving me so many advantages."
"So how do you plan to thank me?" Ye Qiu asked with great interest, looking at her.
Bai Lan lowered her head, pondered a moment, then lifted her head, bit her lip, and said softly, "This girl is willing to offer herself. Would my lord like that?"
"In that case, let's go to bed!"
Understanding Bai Lan's intention, Ye Qiu didn't waste any words, and lazily picked Bai Lan up and took her to the bedroom.
In the midst of laughter and happiness, the night was filled with charm.
While Ye Qiu and Bai Lan were entangled with each other, at Jiangnan City People's Hospital.
In the intensive care unit.
Wang Dongdong lay on the bed, unconscious.
Liao Min'Er sat beside him, her eyes not sad but full of resentment.
She tightly held Wang Dongdong's hand, her face gloomy, and said hatefully, "Hehe, Dongdong, the doctor said you won't die, but also said there's almost no chance of you waking up. Hehehe, a vegetable, what's the difference between that and being dead?
All of this is because of Ye Qiu. If it weren't for him, how could you have become like this!"
"Dongdong, do you know, I really want to kill Ye Qiu, kill that cruel man!"
Liao Min'Er gnashed her teeth, seemingly wishing she could devour Ye Qiu alive.
A few minutes later, Liao Min'Er took a deep breath, looked extremely defeated, and mumbled, "But I'm just a woman, how can I avenge you? I'm no match for Ye Qiu..."
Liao Min'Er was filled with rage, yet had no way to act on it. Ye Qiu's strength left her in despair.
But at this moment, a faint voice suddenly came from the door of the ward.
"Who says a woman can't take revenge?"
Liao Min'Er was stunned for a moment, then looked up in surprise. "It's you?"
The person in front of her was very familiar; it was the same person who had snuck into Ye Qiu's place to steal things that day!
"I am Fell." Fell introduced himself, then chuckled coldly, "Liao Min'Er, we both have the same enemy. As they say, the enemy of my enemy is my friend. I think we could become friends."
"I just want to avenge Dongdong!" Liao Min'Er coldly spat out the words, her eyes filled with intense hatred.
"As a friend, I believe I can provide you with an opportunity for revenge," Fell said confidently.
"An opportunity for revenge?"
Upon hearing these words, Liao Min'Er immediately perked up, "What do I need to do?"
"It's simple." Fell smiled and said, "You just need to take him and come with me."
"I'll give you two minutes to decide."
Fell added.
However, Liao Min'Er didn't need to consider and promptly responded, "Alright, I'll go with you!"
That day at Ye Qiu's place, although Fell had been severely beaten by Ye Qiu and forced to flee, Liao Min'Er had witnessed Fell's abilities and realized that he was no ordinary person.
In her view, if she gave up this opportunity, she might not get another chance to retaliate against Ye Qiu!
Having made up her mind, Liao Min'Er picked up Wang Dongdong and left with Fell.
Half an hour later.
In an abandoned underground lab on the outskirts of Jiangnan.
At Fell's request, Liao Min'Er unhesitatingly took various potions, including the Enchanting Potion!
With the catalyst of the potions, within just a few minutes, her appearance underwent a drastic transformation. Simultaneously, she clearly felt an unprecedented strong power within her!
That power made Liao Min'Er feel like she could kill a cow with a single punch!
"This power, it's really impressive…"
The sense of power excited Liao Min'Er enormously, and she became more convinced of Fell's words, feeling that her chances of avenging Ye Qiu had increased significantly.
However, before Liao Min'Er's excitement lasted long, suddenly, her eyes changed!
The once clear eyes suddenly gleamed with shimmering red light!
Her entire face turned expressionless, staring directly at Fell, and with a very cold tone, she said, "Master, I am yours now, and for the tasks you require, I will spare no effort to accomplish them."
She had made mistake after mistake, completely losing her mind!
