However, Gu Jia was rejected this time.

Clearly, they had been prepared for this for some time.

She didn't give up; instead, she called Li Haoyu again.

This was actually within Li Haoyu's expectations.

You should know that when she last negotiated with President Wan, she apologized profusely.

At that time, Gu Jia probably hated herself, but she still gritted her teeth and persevered. In comparison, Li Haoyu only rejected Gu Jia purely from a business perspective.

Naturally, it's much easier to accept.

Gu Jia said, "Mr. Li, I'm sorry to trouble you. Even if you're going to refuse me, at least give me a reason. The tea plantation really does have untapped potential."

"Please give me some pointers, Mr. Li. I will definitely keep them in mind. I'm begging you."

"Is that alright, Mr. Li?"

Gu Jia on the other end of the phone pleaded earnestly.

This touched Li Haoyu somewhat.

This time, Li Haoyu did not refuse outright.

He began, "You are very smart and capable, but you have one major flaw: you try to handle everything by yourself. Everyone has their own area of ​​expertise!

"Although you are very capable and can handle many large orders by yourself, the tea industry still relies on grassroots sales. Let the professionals handle the specialized tasks."

"No matter how successful an entrepreneur is, they all have a group of capable assistants. Your biggest problem is that you don't have a sound sales and marketing team."

Gu Jia was slightly taken aback. "President Li really hit the nail on the head."

She recalled her encounter with Li Haoyu at the last banquet, where Li Haoyu had said that a company cannot survive by relying on just one or a few big clients.

Otherwise, sooner or later someone will have their neck held by the throat.

Or it could lead to a crisis for the entire company.

In retrospect, Li Haoyu was indeed very forward-thinking.

Li Haoyu said, "It was just a casual remark, nothing serious."

"Besides, even without my rambling, if you're determined to manage it well, with your abilities, you might be able to revitalize the tea plantation."

Li Haoyu said casually, "Actually, giving you a small investment isn't a bad idea. How about ten million?"

Li Haoyu had just finished speaking, even though they were on the other end of the phone.

Li Haoyu could also clearly sense that Gu Jia's breathing on the other end of the phone was noticeably heavier.

Gu Jia, who was far away at home, unusually lost her composure.

Does that mean it was successful?

So, they just got the ten million investment like that?

I'm afraid things aren't that simple!

Gu Jia had met many men, many of whom were quite wealthy, including several billionaires. But this man was someone who so easily offered to invest ten million.

There wasn't a soul in sight. After all, even billionaires shouldn't worry about whether ten million will even make a sound. 😳🐺 69sħᵘⓍ.Ć𝓞м 💥💀

He probably has ulterior motives, doesn't he?

Could it be that Li Haoyu has also set his sights on him?

In fact, Li Haoyu had also considered the simple and crude idea of ​​overwhelming Gu Jia with money. But Li Haoyu knew that Gu Jia was willing to give up her interests and even her pride for survival.

But she wouldn't stoop so low as to rely on unethical deals to survive.

Gu Jia is a smart woman.

Having just gone through what happened with Mrs. Li, although she hoped for an unexpected turn of events, she had long understood that the gifts bestowed by fate always came with a price tag attached.

So now...

Gu Jia said, "Mr. Li, you're joking again. My pride isn't worth that much."

Li Haoyu said, "Actually, it's not that bad. This amount is just the amount of GG income for a period of time."

Gu Jia:

Gu Jia knew that Li Haoyu was in Versailles.

But she still said enviously, "Others only see my glamorous appearance, but Mr. Li, you are the one who is truly glamorous."

Li Haoyu said, "Just know these things. You should know that I am a very low-key person."

Li Haoyu knew that Gu Jia most likely wouldn't accept the money.

But actually, the result doesn't matter.

This was a very good test.

"Mr. Li, thank you for your support, but I still cannot agree. As far as the tea plantation is concerned at this stage, it is indeed not worth that price. Our relationship is not yet at that level."

Gu Jia remained silent for a long time on the other end of the phone:

She still reluctantly rejected Li Haoyu.

After all, Li Haoyu gave them a lot of money.

"Actually, this amount of money is nothing to me; it's really insignificant. But to make things difficult for someone is not what a gentleman should do to a girl."

"Come see me again when you change your mind."

Li Haoyu continued to project an ambiguous attitude.

After hanging up the phone, a smile appeared on Li Haoyu's face.

It still didn't work out, but it was still within his plan.

Not just anyone can be bought off with money.

However, today's ten million has had an effect; Li Haoyu feels that he has broken down Gu Jia's psychological defenses.

At least it planted a seed for Gu Jia.

No matter how capable Gu Jia is, she is still a woman at heart.

Today's phone call must have stirred up Gu Jia's tranquil mind.

At least for now, Gu Jia's heart is in turmoil.

Gu Jia put down her phone.

Her feelings were complicated at that moment.

This time, she truly realized Li Haoyu's strength.

Then I thought back to the first time I met Li Haoyu.

At that time, although Li Haoyu was very handsome, he was only just beginning to make a name for himself. At least back then, Gu Jia felt that she could be his equal.

But now, their circumstances have changed dramatically.

Li Haoyu's strength has increased significantly, but she is now in dire straits and on the verge of bankruptcy. Gu Jia judged this from Li Haoyu's attitude on the phone earlier and from the news she heard about Snail Games.

That amount of money was just a drop in the ocean for him.

But is that ten million applied to everyone?

Or is it just a special case for you?

Is he plotting something?

That's just their investment style—so generous.

A jumble of random thoughts filled Gu Jia's mind.

These things prevented her from concentrating on how to solve the huge problem of the tea plantation.

In fact, Gu Jia has met countless people.

There are all sorts of people who are greedy for money and lustful; some are shameless, some are impulsive, some are extremely cunning, and some are just smiling tigers.

But when she met Li Haoyu, she really couldn't understand him.

Gu Jia wasn't confident enough to believe she was worth tens of millions. Besides, Li Haoyu hadn't made any specific demands, or even given the slightest hint.

What is the purpose of this?

Or is she just overthinking things?

Gu Jia couldn't help but feel a little regretful. She should have agreed to the ten million earlier. If ten million was too much, even five million would have been good.
