Hong Kong Film: Jimmy? Please call me Councillor Li

Chapter 343 Investing in Zheng Youling

Li Jiayuan's office still features that familiar genuine leather sofa.

Zheng Youling sat opposite Li Jiayuan with a hot woman with dark red hair. Their hands were interlocked and placed on Zheng Youling's knees.

Li Jiayuan's expression was somewhat broken, as if an ant was crawling inside him.

No, this is Zheng Youling's fiancée. No, she's quite different from what he imagined. She looks rather quiet and wears glasses.

Her temperament is quite different from that of ordinary people. She gives the impression of a skilled housewife, and she really does have the feel of a young lady from a wealthy family.

This is the first woman who gave Li Jiayuan the impression of a refined lady from a prominent family.

Although he had many wealthy women around him, not one of them possessed the refined elegance of a young lady.

Although Huang Lei comes from a wealthy family, she had a tough childhood and later lived with her single mother, so she wasn't exactly a rich girl.

Needless to say, Ruan Mei was not a young lady at all, so she had no airs of a young lady.

Then there's Jiang Yun, which is embarrassing to even mention. At first glance, she looks like a lady from a respectable family, but in reality, she's the daughter of a gangster.

Li Jiayuan was quite curious about Zheng Youling's fiancée, but that was all he was curious about.

The main problem was that Zheng Youling actually brought his fiancée to the door to discuss cooperation.

"What I'm getting is that you want to start your own business?"

"Yes"

Zheng Youling nodded firmly without hesitation, seemingly having made up his mind.

Li Jiayuan was surprised. Why would he give up his family's wealth and insist on going out on his own?

As far as he knew, Zheng Youling was quite valued in the company.

"Can you tell me the reason?"

“I don’t want to rely on my family. You know I have a younger brother.”

Zheng Youling's voice grew softer and softer, sounding very disappointed, while his fiancée Yi Zhiqing held his hands tightly. The sight of the loving couple made Li Jiayuan feel a little uncomfortable.

Damn it, they dare to show off their love in front of me. It seems they haven't tested my skills yet.

Zheng Youling's reason for establishing his own household surprised him even more. It turned out that the struggle for the position of heir was always like this. Zheng Youling felt that he could not get the position of head of the family, so he simply established his own household and severed ties with the Zheng family.

This is indeed a smart move. Rather than being controlled by others, it's better to sever ties and establish one's own business.

but
Why should I help you?

Li Jiayuan played with the jade walnut in his hand with great interest. It was a gift from Hua Di, and it was very handy and very fun to play with.

Zheng Youling's smile is confident.

“If you help me, I will start a company and gradually build my fortune. Even if you don’t help me, I can still build my own network and connections. I’m only asking you because I don’t want to waste too much time. If I have the help of Jiayuan Group…”

My new company will be on track quickly, without much time wasted, and you'll gain a very loyal partner.

"That sounds good, but I'm curious, if the Zheng family encounters insurmountable problems in the future, what will you and your new company do? Will you choose to help the Zheng family or stand by and do nothing?"

Li Jiayuan's question was actually a test. Although he thought highly of Zheng Youling, he would never give himself another opponent who was both intelligent and capable.

He's petty; that old bastard Zheng Tong tricked him last time, and he hasn't gotten revenge yet.

If Zheng Youling and the Zheng family are still in cahoots, then he won't provide Zheng Youling with any conveniences.

Li Jiayuan's original intention was to test the waters, but in Zheng Youling's ears, it was a very simple problem, because from his perspective, the previous matter had already been resolved.

There is no longer any conflict between Jiayuan Group and the Zheng family.

He didn't even think about it.

“I’ve decided to start my own business. I don’t need the Zheng family’s shares anymore. What do you think?” Li Jiayuan understood. This meant severing ties with the Zheng family, but maintaining family relations.

Tsk tsk, Li Jiayuan admitted that this guy was indeed quite bold and talented, and that his approach was actually the right one.

He could see Zheng Youling's ambition in his eyes, and how long would it take for that ambition to be realized within the Zheng family?

Ten years, or twenty years?

I'm afraid he'll lose heart before Zheng Tong even gets worn down, and by then there'll be no point in talking about starting a business.

So, we should take advantage of our youth and give it our all.

"Okay, I'm not afraid to tell you, your good daddy tricked me so badly last time, and I'll get my revenge sooner or later. I can help you, but I don't want to make an enemy. Do you understand what I mean?"

Zheng Youling: "."

This person is so petty; they even hold grudges.

It seems his choice was right. After all, the Zheng family wasn't his; it belonged to his father. Rather than being mistreated, he might as well start his own company. Only when he was strong could he have a say.

Foolish little brother, you're still playing your succession game. I'm going to flip the table now. You can go and do whatever you want on your own.

As for the Zheng family, he has no say in it anymore. From now on, he belongs to the Zheng family, the new Zheng family.

“I will gradually distance myself from the Zheng family’s affairs in the future, but not now. I don’t want anyone to notice anything amiss, so I will continue to work for the Zheng family for the time being. My fiancée will handle all the work at the new company. Her decision is my decision.”

Zheng Youling then introduced his fiancée, Yi Zhiqing, to Li Jiayuan.

Yi Zhiqing greeted Li Jiayuan with a smile.

"Please give me more advice."

"Please give me more advice."

Li Jiayuan shook hands with Yi Zhiqing briefly and then let go.

I'm actually quite envious. This guy's family doesn't seem like much, but his fiancée is a good one.

They were lucky, actually.

However, nothing beats his wife. He and Huang Lei are quite a model couple, working together seamlessly as a team.

"Alright, since you have this idea, I've decided to fully support you. You can choose a location for the new drug's distribution."

"By the way, this time, you don't need to sell your shares."

The shock in Zheng Youling's eyes gradually turned into excitement and gratitude.

He hadn't actually considered getting involved with Home Healthcare's business; he just hadn't expected Li Jiayuan to be so generous.

I'm willing to give him a share of the most profitable project.

For Zheng Youling, this was a timely help, an aid during his weakest period.

For Li Jiayuan, this was an investment; he was optimistic about Zheng Youling and believed he had potential.

After sending Zheng Youling away, Lu Yan called several of the company's veterans to his office, including Gao Jin. This time, he was going to talk about his next plans.

He has secured his position as a legislator and wields considerable influence in the Legislative Council.

Next.
He will do everything he can to boost his approval rating. It is estimated that it will be difficult to raise his approval rating to 40% in Hong Kong within the next year, but this will be his new goal.

Therefore, he needs to shift his attention and focus.

While waiting for someone, a scene suddenly appeared in his mind.

It was a car. Huang Lei and Ruan Mei got into the car, and then...
"boom"

Flames shot into the sky, and the car exploded.
