Be reborn and be happy to the fullest

When Xu Ji entered the scene, her eyes first fell on the noble-looking Iwasaki Junko. At that moment, Xu Ji suddenly felt like she had met her natural nemesis, which made her shudder.

Then, she saw Yu Nuannuan, whose temperament was even more obvious, and who was still calm and composed even though she was wearing all branded clothes, and Kurokawa Miho, who was wearing a modified kimono and looked like a classic Japanese beauty. All of these made Xu Ji swallow the words that were about to come.

What Xu Ji didn't know was that the guests this time were all typical second-generation, rich and beautiful women, and they were exactly the ones who were least afraid of her as a president.

Yu Nuannuan raised the corner of her mouth slightly, looked at Xu Ji and teased Li Shuo:

"Tsk, Li Shuo, where did you find such a 'pure' girlfriend?"

Even though Xu Ji was the ageless goddess of South Korea's legal world, she was still just a low-class beauty in front of truly young and beautiful women like Yu Nuannuan. And yet, this low-class beauty was unaware of it. She actually spoke in the tone of "hostess" at Shuoguo Manor!

Li Shuo held Xu Ji's waist and said unhappily, "Yu Nuannuan, Xu Ji is my woman, please speak properly..."

Xu Ji could only speak Chinese, so she naturally didn't understand the meaning of "pure". It was only when she saw the argument between Yu Nuannuan and Li Shuo that she realized that the other party might look down on her.

Thinking of this, Xu Ji smiled generously and introduced herself to the group of people:

"Hello everyone, I'm Xu Ji, from South Korea. I founded the Xu Law Firm, which is ranked number one in South Korea. At the same time, Xu Law Firm is successfully establishing mutually beneficial partnerships internationally. If you have any international legal business needs in the future, please contact me. I will fully support my brother Shuo's friends!"

As she said this, she wanted to take the business card, but unfortunately, since she was stripped naked last night, everything on her body was no longer hers.

Seeing Xu Ji was a little embarrassed, Li Shuo naturally tried to smooth things over and praised Xu's law firm...

However, the reactions of the Yu siblings and Iwasaki Junko were very indifferent, especially Yu Nuannuan. She originally came here to talk about business with Li Shuo, but because of the "ambiguous atmosphere between the two sides, which seemed distant and close", she called Yu Chengcheng, and then Yu Chengcheng called Iwasaki Junko, who brought her maid Kurokawa Miho.

But as soon as they arrived at the manor, Li Shuo actually took the maid away to play. Where could the "first lady of Lenghai" put her face?
Yu Nuannuan naturally didn't think it was her fault for repeatedly rejecting the secretariat's invitations. She looked at Xu Ji and raised an eyebrow. "International legal affairs? As far as I know, Shuoguo's international affairs are nothing more than some financial operations. Does that require legal support?"

Xu Ji was stunned, thinking of Shuoguo Asset's most thrilling "battle" in South Korea. At that time, Li Shuo's capital chain was once suspected to be broken, but in fact, Li Shuo was of course rich, but most of it was RMB, which could not be converted into Korean won immediately.

Then, Xu Ji looked at her and asked tentatively:
"From what Miss Yu said, are you helping Shuoguo with its international capital operations?"

Yu Nuannuan said calmly, "I can do these things, but there's no need. Li Shuo has Min Yuerou to help him transfer funds, so he doesn't need me. Oh, by the way, have you met Ms. Min Yuerou? I think she has a very similar temperament to you. Both are very beautiful, with a mature and charming aura!"

Seeing her trying to stir up trouble, Li Shuo immediately interrupted, "Xu Ji is from South Korea, so naturally she doesn't know Yue Rou... Okay, enough of this nonsense. Miss Yu, are you here to discuss the Forest Drinks business?"

Yu Nuannuan nodded. "Forest Beverage went public today, opening with a 50% increase, and by the close, it was still up 44%... Congratulations! This wave of returns is almost 100%!"

Xu Ji, intent on maintaining her hostess's presence, naturally asked, "Didn't they say it was a 44% increase? Why is it a 1x rate of return? Brother Shuo, how much did you earn this time?"

Yu Nuannuan curled her lips and sneered, looking as if she didn't want to bother with Xu Ji.

Li Shuo did his best to lighten the mood, saying with a smile, "Because I bought the shares before the IPO price, my holding cost is much lower than the opening price. So, while those investors who bought new shares on the stock market have reaped a 44% return, my cost is even lower, so my return is over 1%!"

"Wow, is this possible? I remember being involved in some financial cases before. If someone bought shares in advance at a super low price, wouldn't that involve insider trading? Wouldn't the professional securities regulatory system hold people accountable?" Xu Ji asked in confusion, mainly to show that she was an elite lawyer who had a deep understanding of all aspects.

At this time, Yu Nuannuan sneered: "Haha, sorry, this is China! We don't have insider trading, everything is compliant and legal. If you don't believe me, I'll call the uncle in the Lenghai Securities Regulatory System now, and he can issue you a legal certificate on the spot!"

"Hey, Yu Nuannuan, you're talking too much!"

Li Shuo was unhappy. Although he was a beneficiary in this life, Yu Nuannuan's attitude of taking her family background as ability was what he hated most in his two lives. What's more, there were many things that could be done but could not be said!
Although Xu Ji was a foreigner, South Korea was also part of the Confucian cultural circle, so she squinted her eyes and quickly understood what the two people were saying. She grabbed Li Shuo's arm, rubbed it with her towering body, and said coquettishly: "Brother Shuo, you haven't told me how much you earned..."

"Um, I don't know either. I gave the shares to Miss Yu and never asked about it again..."

"At the opening today, I sold 10% of my shares using the securities channel and seats. I've been selling more since then... Well, you know the process, so I won't explain it in detail. Anyway, I'll sell all of these shares within a month and cash out around 1.3 million..."

Xu Ji took a deep breath. "1.3 million, RMB?"

Yu Nuannuan nodded proudly: "That's right! But it's not all Shuo Ge'er's money. If I remember correctly, most of it is registered under Li Yitong's name..."

Then he looked at Li Shuo and said with a strong sense of provocation: "Brother Shuo, this is probably a gift for someone, right?"

A gift worth 1.3 million RMB?!

Including the ladies in the secretary's office who had vaguely heard about this, everyone present was stunned on the spot!
After all, compared with giving away luxury cars and mansions, these hundreds of millions of dollars are really too generous, too attractive, and too beyond imagination!
Iwasaki Junko's beautiful eyes flickered, and then she looked at Yu Nuannuan: At this moment, she naturally realized that something must have happened between Li Shuo and Yu Nuannuan, otherwise Yu Nuannuan would not have revealed such confidential information in such a way.

Yu Chengcheng didn't think too much about it. He didn't even know about his sister's affair with Li Shuo. Upon hearing this, he excitedly exclaimed, "Brother Shuo, is this your value investment system? It's amazing. I really admire you!"

After witnessing Li Shuo's successful cash-out of "Beijing Cultural and Creative," Yu Chengcheng attempted a similar move. While he didn't lose money, he only made about 20%, and his funds were tied up for nearly six months before he finally broke even! Compared to Li Shuo's investment in Forest Beverages, this was clearly far inferior. Xu Ji, who intended to present herself as the lady of the house, was stunned, feeling not only surprise but also profound disappointment: He actually gave another woman so much money in China?!

In fact, it’s not just Xu Ji. Anyone who has had a relationship with Li Shuo would find it hard not to feel jealous when they know about this!

In fact, Yu Nuannuan originally wanted to "only maintain a friendship" with Li Shuo, but why did she suddenly come here today?
After selling the stocks, I discovered the account used to trade was actually under the name of a 23-year-old woman named Li Yitong. Then, I did a quick internet search and immediately found that the first result was a social media article titled "How can Li Yitong, a university student, be ranked alongside the South Korean dance queen and become a dancer on 'Little Apple'?"

Because she is Li Shuo's woman! This was the answer that emerged in Yu Nuannuan's mind at that moment.

Li Shuo's first reaction to Yu Nuannuan revealing his secret was anger, but the next moment, he guessed the reason for Yu Nuannuan's sudden visit today.

Compared to "being angry because of Li Yitong" and "declining the invitation from the secretary's office", the first one seemed to be the better choice. Thinking of this, Li Shuo's anger subsided a little. He looked around and explained to Iwasaki Junko and the others with a smile:

"Li Yitong is an artist under Shuoguo Culture. Forest Beverage wanted her to be its spokesperson and offered her a hefty price tag of 5 million yuan for five years. But she followed my advice and opted to use her shares to offset the fee..."

This statement is actually full of loopholes. Whose endorsement fee is so high? Forest Beverage originally offered Li Yitong a tiered endorsement, which was based on the premise that Li Yitong would become a top actress in the future.

Of course, Xu Ji and others did not understand this. They just felt that with Li Shuo's explanation, it sounded like other people's money, so they didn't feel so jealous.

Yu Nuannuan curled her lips and was about to say something else when Li Shuo turned his head and looked at her: "How is the specific situation of the Forest Beverage launch? Well, there are a lot of things to do. Miss Yu, come with me to the office to discuss it slowly..."

As he spoke, he stood up and extended his hand to her. Yu Nuannuan pouted, but naturally took his hand and walked with Li Shuo to the side office on the first floor...

After Li Shuo and Yu Nuannuan left, Xu Ji looked at the remaining Iwasaki Junko and, as a hostess, tried to control the topic: "Ms. Iwasaki Junko, right? Judging from your name, you are from Japan?"

"Yes, hello, Miss Xu!"

"Hmm, the surname Iwasaki is relatively uncommon. I think I've heard of it..."

"I come from the Iwasaki family..."

"So familiar, let me think about it...the Triple Zero Group, once the number one in Japan?!"

Amid Xu Ji's surprise, Yu Chengcheng added at the right moment, "That's right, Miss Iwasaki Junko is the eldest daughter of the contemporary Iwasaki family and one of the top three heirs to the 30th Consortium..."

Xu Ji: “…”

The hall was silent for an unknown amount of time before Iwasaki Junko spoke a few humble words and then scolded Yu Chengcheng. The latter quickly nodded and apologized, and the atmosphere eased. However, during this process, Xu Ji remained completely silent...

The identity of the president of the law firm makes Xu Ji the "gatekeeper of the chaebol". For non-chaebols, Xu Ji is a standard upper-class person, but she just can't reach the level of the chaebol.

It is precisely because of this that Xu Ji understands the power of the Japanese chaebols better than ordinary people. The South Korean chaebols are nouveau riche that have only developed in modern times, and their actions have traces to follow. The Japanese chaebols, on the other hand, all have a history of hundreds of years, and after several ups and downs, they have penetrated into all aspects of Japanese society and even become a part of the world economy in secret.

The 30 Group is undoubtedly the best among them. Xu Ji could not imagine how Iwasaki Junko, as the noble heir, got involved with Li Shuo. Even on the surface, the noble eldest lady was also one of Li Shuo's many women?

Xu Ji's mind was in a mess. Li Shuo's friends' visit today had completely confused her:
Before coming to China, she had considered Li Shuo a highly capable chaebol, so she had imagined him to be incredibly brilliant and perfect. However, everything that had happened over the past two days, especially what she had seen since entering Shuoguo Manor, was even more exaggerated than Xu Ji had imagined. This was more than just a chaebol, he was truly a world-class chaebol!

When Li Shuo returned with Yu Nuannuan, he saw Xu Ji, who looked like she had been played to pieces. He grabbed Xu Ji and, ignoring everyone else, casually said, "You guys have fun. I'll take Xu Ji to rest for a while..."

Young people all know that rest is equal to exercise, even intense exercise.

Therefore, Yu Chengcheng and Iwasaki Junko immediately looked at Yu Nuannuan with strange expressions. The latter said with an innocent look, "Why are you looking at me? I don't know anything..."

I don’t know, that would be strange!
She was already feeling down, and when Li Shuo dragged her to a side hall to discuss "business," it was impossible for them to just talk about business. The topic started with "Who is Li Yitong?", and then it spiraled out of control. Yu Nuannuan listed Li Shuo's many girlfriends, saying that he had many women in Lenghai, including beautiful women like Lu Ailin, famous people like Yang Xiaomi, childhood sweethearts like Chen Yu, and many beautiful female classmates, gorgeous godmothers, and aunts...

Li Shuo only replied: "This is my private matter"

Yu Nuannuan was so angry that she gritted her teeth, but she was not an ordinary woman, so her counterattack was very fierce.

First, sort out your emotions. The angrier you are, the calmer you appear. Then, make various gestures:
"Lu Ailin is very beautiful, but does she have the same temperament as me?" She crossed her legs at one side and looked at Li Shuo with a proud look on her face.

"Yang Xiaomi is extremely famous, but in Lenghai, is her charm as great as mine?" In this city, Lenghai's number one socialite is actually more charming than Yang Xiaomi.

"And your childhood sweetheart... your secretaries... your beautiful aunt..."

Every time she mentioned a person, she would make a corresponding gesture or movement. Especially when she mentioned the secretary, Yu Nuannuan pulled out a pair of gold-rimmed glasses from somewhere and put them on—it was exactly Li Shuo's thing! (End of Chapter)
