“What did you say?! You want to withdraw your investment?!”
Qi Lei screamed. He felt like he was hallucinating.
“Our project is thriving. The market share and daily revenue are steadily increasing. The prospects are great. It will be a huge loss for you to withdraw your investment now.”
“Don’t think about the future. It’s already good news that it’s not closed. You should think about your future development hard.”
The other party did not give Qi Lei a chance to speak or explain too much before hanging up.
The two of them, who had been so excited just now, were now silent. No one knew what was going on.
Ring ring ring!
Just then, Qi Lei’s phone rang again.
“It’s President Zhao from Kasheng Capital.”
“Quick, quick, quick. Pick it up and ask him why he’s looking for you,” said Li Mengyao.
“Little Qi.”
“President Qi, why are you looking for me?”
“It’s not a big deal, didn’t I say that 1 would invest 20 million yuan in you? I’m preparing to withdraw my investment, so I called to inform you.”
“Another divestment!”
Qi Lei widened his eyes and opened his mouth. He could not understand what went wrong.
Before this, these two venture capital firms had taken the initiative to look for him to invest in him.
And now, they had actually withdrawn their investment at the same time. Why was this happening?!
“Another divestment?” Said the other party.
“Did someone else call you to divest?”
“Yes, yes…”
Although he did not want to say it, Qi Lei knew that this matter could not be hidden.
“Then it’s not a coincidence. In the next few days, other investors will probably tell you they are withdrawing as well. You’d better be mentally prepared. If there’s nothing else, I’ll hang up first. You’re on your own.”
“President Zhao, wait!”
Just as the other party was about to hang up, Qi Lei quickly stopped him. “What’s going on? Why are you withdrawing your investments?!”
“Do I need to tell you what you’ve done?”
Qi Lei and Li Mengyao were a little confused. They did not understand what he meant at all.
“Director Zhao, I really don’t understand what you mean. 1 haven’t done anything recently. I’ve been busy with the company’s matters. You’ve all seen the quality and function of the products. There’s no problem at all. Everything’s fine. Why are you all withdrawing your investments?”
“This… Sigh…”
“No matter what, we’re acquaintances. 1 have a good impression of you. I’ll be honest with you. You offended someone you shouldn’t have.”
“Offended someone I shouldn’t have?”
The two of them were surprised. “We didn’t offend anyone. Besides, I’m just a newcomer in the entrepreneurial circle. 1 know my own strength. How could I offend those business big shots?”
“I’m not too sure about what happened on your side, but the ones who are attacking you are Lingyun Group. I don’t need to say much about their power in the industry. You know them very well.”
“Lingyun Group!”
The two of them exclaimed in unison. As people in the entrepreneurial circle, they would be fools if they did not know about Lingyun Group!
Lingyun Group was a unicorn in the semiconductor industry.
There was even a rumor.
If they went public, their market value could rival that of tech giants like Tencent and Alibaba.
However, he had no interaction with the people from this company. He had never even seen their higher-ups. How could he offend them?
“You should know what’s going on now, right? I won’t say anything else. You’re on your own.”
“Wait, President Zhao.” Qi Lei quickly stopped the other party.
“Can you make it clearer? I still don’t understand. I really didn’t offend them!”
“Are you sure?” the other party said.
“In the Lingyun Group, there are a total of three people who have the ability to crush you. One is the second-in-command, President Qi Xianzhao, and their CEO’s trusted aide, the chief financial officer, He Yuanyuan. There’s also the vice-president of Lingyun Capital, Tian Yan. Are you sure you didn’t offend these three people?”
“I really didn’t!”
Qi Lei said affirmatively, “To be honest, if it weren’t for you, 1 wouldn’t even know these three big shots. How could I have offended them? Could it be a misunderstanding?”
“That’s unlikely. These three people are the stabilizing force behind Lingyun Group. If you didn’t offend them, they shouldn’t have made such a big fuss.”
“I really don’t know them. There must be a misunderstanding.”
“If you really don’t know them, there might really be a misunderstanding,” the other party said.
“However, there’s another person in the Lingyun Group that you can’t afford to offend. It’s their president, Lin Yi. However, that person is very mysterious. It would be tough for you to offend him. There must be a misunderstanding. Come and visit tomorrow. I’ll hang up first.”
Qi Lei and Li Mengyao seemed to have been petrified as they remained motionless in the car.
They didn’t even remember when the other party hung up.
This was because they had heard a terrifying message on the phone!
The president of Lingyun Group was called Lin Yi!
The two of them looked at each other with terrified expressions. It was as if someone was. .h.i.tting their heads with a heavy hammer!
At this moment, the two of them remembered what Lin Yi had just said.
He said that their company would close tomorrow!
The current situation!
It really came true!
In addition, he also had the diamond membership card of Henglong Square!
This was not something that just anyone could have!
If it wasn’t for the president of Lingyun Group, the president of Henglong Plaza wouldn’t have given him a membership card!
No wonder he bought a set that cost more than 40,000 yuan just like that. He was much more impressive than him!
Li Mengyao gulped, shocked by Lin Yi’s true ident.i.ty!
He had just graduated from university a few years ago, but he had actually founded such a huge company!
“What are you waiting for? Hurry up and call your cla.s.smate to plead for mercy!”
“Alright, alright, alright…”
After being yelled at by Qi Lei, Li Mengyao finally reacted.
Now that he was so wealthy, not only did she need to speak to him for her boyfriend’s sake, but she also needed to curry favor with him!
However, after searching for a long time, she realized that Lin Yi’s contact information was nowhere to be found.
“I-I don’t have his number…”
“F*ck!”
Qi Lei slapped Li Mengyao’s face. “It’s all your f*cking fault. You had to show off in front of him. Otherwise, 1 wouldn’t be like this.”
Li Mengyao covered her face and said, “I-I didn’t know that a poor loser like him would become so rich!”
“I’m telling you, if you don’t settle this matter for me, just see how I deal with you!”
After leaving Henglong Square, the two of them drove back to Jiuzhou Pavilion. Ji Qingyan fiddled with the black-gold box for a while.
In the end, he picked out six of the items and said,
“Face wash, shampoo, shower gel, sunscreen. The moisturizer and toothpaste are yours. The rest will be mine.”
“Huh? Didn’t you buy it for me? Why are you taking half of it?”
