Chapter 799: Chapter 795: Out of the Frying Pan into the Fire?
âOf course, Iâm willing!â Mo Xiaoyan immediately said.
She paused and then added, âIâve contacted several potential investors and the talks have been going quite well. Theyâve all presented their terms, and Iâm considering which investor to accept.â
Ye Fan nodded in response, âThatâs good.â
He had planned to ask Mo Xiaoyan for the project proposal to have Hua Chang Investment Fund, managed by his mother, evaluate it. As long as the project had a success rate of over forty percent, he would consider helping Mo Xiaoyan with funding. After all, Mo Xiaoyanâs project still needed an investment of three hundred million, which was not a small sum, so he had to be cautious. A success rate lower than forty percent meant the risk was too high.
However, since Mo Xiaoyan already had interested investors, he decided not to say more.
âHehe, rest assured. I can definitely manage the cosmetics project,â Mo Xiaoyan confidently declared.
Then, Mo Xiaoyan changed the topic to something else.
The two of them chatted while eating, and about fifteen minutes later, Mo Xiaoyanâs cell phone suddenly rang.
She took out her phone, didnât answer the call, and simply pressed to dismiss it.
âWhy not take the call? Being polite with me?â Ye Fan asked.
Mo Xiaoyan giggled at Ye Fan, put her phone back into her LV bag, and said, âIt was a nuisance call.â
The meal went by with eating and chatting, taking nearly an hour.
After finishing their meal and walking out to the parking lot, Mo Xiaoyan joked, âStinky brother-in-law, where do you live?â
Upon hearing this, Ye Fan couldnât help but feel a bit of a headache.
With Mo Xiaoyanâs personality, if she knew Wei Ziling was still working as his housekeeper, she would definitely make a huge fuss.
âWhy do you ask?â Ye Fan inquired with a frown.
Mo Xiaoyan giggled and said, âOf course, to come and see. If I need anything later, itâd be convenient to find you directly at your place. I canât always run straight to the police station, right? Are you feeling guilty or something?â
âI am indeed feeling guilty,â Ye Fan admitted, âI asked you to put yourself in your sisterâs shoes and think about it, how are you feeling about it now?â
Mo Xiaoyan suddenly pouted unhappily and huffed, âCanât we talk about something pleasant? I donât want to talk to you anymore!â
Ye Fan sighed and shook his head.
After a while, Mo Xiaoyan asked, âIâm going back to Hua Hai City tomorrow, are you going?â
âIâm not,â Ye Fan lied to Mo Xiaoyan.
He really wasnât going to Hua Hai City tomorrow because he had just started his new job and needed to work overtime.
However, he planned to go to Hua Hai City on Sunday. He had decided to make time every week to take Li Zhaojun to visit her grandfather. Because Sunday was limited in time, and he planned to spend more time with Grandfather Li, plus he had not seen Lu Xiaoman for long after their last meeting, he did not plan to visit Lu Xiaoman at the Hua Yang Martial Arts Gym.
The two of them got into their cars and went their separate ways, with Mo Xiaoyan driving back to her villa.
To facilitate working in Mingde County, she bought a villa in the city area. After all, a villa in Mingde County was just a trifling amount for her. She didnât want to rent another villa to live in; it was neither safe nor comfortable.
On her way back to the villa, her phone suddenly rang. She took it out and her eyebrows knit slightly, seemingly displeased, but after hesitating a moment, she still answered the call.
As soon as she picked up, she heard a young manâs chuckling voice from the phone, âHehe, Xiaoyan, were you busy just now?â
âXie Liping, donât be so familiar. Weâre not that close,â Mo Xiaoyan said coldly, âYou called me, whatâs the matter?â
âHehe, of course, thereâs a matter,â Xie Lipingâs voice came through the phone, âTomorrow is the weekend, youâll be back in Hua Hai City, right? Letâs meet and talk more about the investment.â
Mo Xiaoyan replied, âIf itâs still the same terms as before, donât even dream about it.â
âHehe, of course not. Iâve already managed to get better terms from my dad. Donât worry, you will definitely be willing to accept them,â Xie Liping said.
Mo Xiaoyan hesitated for a moment, then said, âAlright. See you tomorrow at three in the afternoon.â
âWhy not at five or six? After we talk about the cooperation, we could have dinner together,â Xie Liping suggested hopefully.
Mo Xiaoyan hung up the phone abruptly.
After hanging up, Mo Xiaoyan, feeling somewhat displeased, tossed her phone onto the dashboard.
She really hadnât been in a good mood lately.
One reason was that Ye Fan consistently refused to accept her, pressing her to empathize with how Lu Xiaoman would feel about her and Ye Fan sneaking around. Although she and Lu Xiaoman had only acknowledged their sisterhood less than a year ago, their bond as twin sisters had grown very deep after half a year of contact, almost as though they had grown up together. So now, the psychological pressure on her was significant.
The second reason was that the cosmetics project was not progressing smoothly. Although the factory was nearly complete and the first batch of cosmetics had been produced, there wasnât enough capital for marketing and entering the market. Although she had previously managed her familyâs company for a few years, those were financially stable companies, and she hadnât focused on management, following established practices. Now, under pressure, she was making an effort to run a company for the first time. Therefore, due to lack of experience coupled with haste under stress, she found herself in an awkward situation.
The next morning, Mo Xiaoyan drove back to Hua Hai City.
Upon her return to Hua Hai City, she first visited Lu Xiaoman at the Hua Yang Martial Arts Gym.
At noon, she had lunch with Lu Xiaoman.
After lunch with Lu Xiaoman, she drove back to her villa in Hua Hai City to rest.
She needed to conserve her energy for the afternoon meeting with Xie Liping to discuss the investment.
Although she knew Xie Liping had ulterior motives, the terms from other investors were very harsh, and the terms offered by Xie Liping were the best, excluding his personal conditions.
The reason she hadnât outright rejected Xie Liping was that she was harboring the slim hope of pulling off a tricky move.
At three in the afternoon, in a fancy casual cafe tea house, Mo Xiaoyan arrived on time.
She knocked on the door, which opened quickly to reveal a handsome smiling face and a tall figure dressed in designer casual wear.
âHehe, Miss Mo, please,â Xie Liping greeted with a smile, making a gentlemanly gesture towards Mo Xiaoyan.
Mo Xiaoyan, with a serene expression, walked in.
After sitting face to face, Xie Liping smiled and asked, âWhat would you like to drink?â
âJust water,â Mo Xiaoyan replied indifferently.
âSure thing!â Xie Liping chuckled, snapped his fingers, and then pressed the service bell.
Soon, a waiter entered and Xie Liping ordered two glasses of water.
After the waiter left, Xie Liping looked at Mo Xiaoyanâs beautiful face and expressed a pained expression, âYouâve lost weight recently. Work has been tough, right?â
âItâs none of your concern,â Mo Xiaoyan said coolly.
Xie Liping was accustomed to Mo Xiaoyanâs curt manner, so he didnât seem embarrassed. Continuing to smile, he said, âStill, to speak frankly, itâs only natural for your company to be labor-intensive at the start. I hope you donât focus solely on work; take some time to relax. Itâs important to balance work and leisure, after all.â
