Chapter 452: Chapter 452: A Grown Woman Can’t Be Kept at Home

The elevator arrived, and Li Xiaoyao walked out with Cheng Yiyi, followed by Wang Yonggui.

Walking up with a female companion, Wang Yonggui asked, “Miss Cheng, are you also here to attend today’s press conference?”

“What press conference?” Cheng Yiyi looked puzzled.

“Miss Cheng doesn’t know?” Wang Yonggui was also puzzled. How could she not know about the press conference after all the way here?

Cheng Yiyi shook her head, “I’m just here to find my third brother.”

“Oh, I see. There is a press conference today in the banquet hall, and Mr. Cheng is on the invited list. He probably forgot to tell you,” Wang Yonggui explained.

“Oh.” Cheng Yiyi didn’t pay attention to whatever press conference it was. Her intention was to have her third brother meet Li Xiaoyao, to discuss potential collaboration. As for the press conference, it was irrelevant to her.

Outside the banquet hall, a huge truss was set up. The backdrop read: Lin Corporation Spirit Fruit Press Conference.

Li Xiaoyao, upon seeing it, was somewhat stunned. He indeed read the news that Lin Corporation’s Spirit Fruit Press Conference was happening today, but he didn’t know the specific location. Who would have thought that Mr. Cheng the third would arrange to meet him at the site of the press conference? It was quite a coincidence.

After entering the lobby, Cheng Yiyi looked around, but there were too many people in the hall, and it was quite difficult to find someone.

Everyone invited here was a billionaire elite from various industries, and on the LED screen behind the stage in the banquet hall were written the huge words: Lin Corporation Spirit Fruit Press Conference.

Li Xiaoyao saw several familiar figures, leading them was Lin Yuanyuan, and beside Lin Yuanyuan were several members of the Lin family.

Lin Yuanyuan was dressed in a high slit dress, the slit going all the way to her thigh root, revealing her long legs with every step, drawing glances from many rich businessmen from time to time.

In just a few days, Lin Yuanyuan’s demeanor had undergone a very noticeable change. If once she was a spoiled rich girl, now she had the poise and grace of a queen.

Indeed, being in a high position can indeed bring about great changes in a person in a short period of time.

Li Xiaoyao didn’t rush to greet them. With the Spirit Fruit press conference going on today, this crazy woman was probably very busy.

Finally, Cheng Yiyi found Mr. Cheng the third. She whispered, “Over there, let’s go.”

Cheng Bayi, born on the August 1st Military Day, was thus named. He was currently standing with a few imposing big bosses, chatting and laughing.

As the two approached, Cheng Bayi had already seen them and introduced with a smile, “This is my younger sister, Cheng Yiyi.”

Cheng Yiyi glanced indifferently at the men and did not greet them out of habit. They didn’t mind though, as beauty had its privileges all over the world, let alone for the youngest daughter of the Cheng family.

“Third brother, this is Li Xiaoyao.” Cheng Yiyi just wanted to quickly finalize the cooperation between her third brother and Li Xiaoyao, so she could naturally agree to Li Xiaoyao’s arrangements.

“Mr. Li, hello,” Cheng Bayi wasn’t very enthusiastic. After a simple greeting, he said to Cheng Yiyi, “These people here are all elite local entrepreneurs from Ling City. You should interact with them more.”

The businessmen nearby greeted Cheng Yiyi with a smile, “Miss Cheng, where are you currently employed?”

“Miss Cheng is so young and beautiful. There must be many suitors, right?”

“My son has just returned from studying in Yun Country. He must have a lot of common topics with Miss Cheng.”

Cheng Yiyi frowned slightly and directly ignored the businessmen’s words. She said to Cheng Bayi, “Third brother, I’m here today to discuss something with you.”

“I know, I know,” Cheng Bayi waved his hand, “Isn’t it just this kid wanting to cooperate with me? Yiyi, I’m telling you, you’re young and have less experience dealing with people. Don’t believe everything you hear from others; it’s easy to suffer losses that way.”

Since receiving his younger sister’s phone call, Cheng Bayi had subconsciously labeled Li Xiaoyao as a swindler. This guy must have known about his younger sister’s identity and was planning to leverage her relationship to make money off him.

Cheng Bayi gave Li Xiaoyao a cold glance, sneering inwardly: Does he not realize who I, Cheng Bayi, am? Does he really think money from the Cheng family is that easy to earn?

“Third brother, what are you saying? Li Xiaoyao genuinely has a business proposal he wants to discuss with you.” Although Cheng Yiyi didn’t understand the business world, she could tell from her third brother’s words that he scorned Li Xiaoyao.

Cheng Bayi exhaled a puff of cigar smoke and looked coldly at Li Xiaoyao, saying, “Kid, don’t think I don’t know what you’re thinking. If you know what’s good for you, disappear from my sight now. My sister is not someone just anybody can approach.”

Li Xiaoyao wasn’t angry. He could tell that Cheng Bayi genuinely cared about Cheng Yiyi but also truly didn’t know who he was.

The so-called innocence of ignorance. Li Xiaoyao planned to clear things up with him.

“I have a good business plan. I chose you simply because you are Yiyi’s third brother; otherwise, with your status, you wouldn’t even be on my radar,” Li Xiaoyao said indifferently.

Cheng Bayi and the surrounding bosses were taken aback when they heard this.

Has this kid gone mad? Does he know who he’s standing in front of, the third of the Cheng family of Lu Province?

An unknown youngster, daring to speak to Mr. Cheng the third in such a tone? He must be either delusional or truly confident.

But everyone preferred to believe the former. After all, they were familiar with those with some reputation in Ling City, but Li Xiaoyao’s young face was certainly not among them.

“Kid, you sound pretty capable, huh? But I’ve never heard of your name,” Cheng Bayi mocked.

“Old Zhou, your question is surely rhetorical,” another boss laughed. “The kid is obviously mocking us. He doesn’t even think Mr. Cheng’s status is worth considering; his own must be quite noble. With our status, we can’t possibly reach his level.”

Li Xiaoyao ignored their sarcasm and indifferently said, “My time is precious, and I have no time for idle chatter with you. Draft a cooperation agreement quickly.”

Cheng Bayi finally snapped out of it. He couldn’t quite believe his ears and even wondered if he was hallucinating.

In Ling City, someone dared to speak to him in such a tone? Moreover, a younger person than himself? That was indeed absurd.

“Yiyi, step back.” Cheng Bayi was ready to give this arrogant youngster a lesson in front of his younger sister, to let her see what kind of worthless friends she was associating with.

Cheng Yiyi sighed helplessly and said, “Brother, I advise you to apologize to him. Otherwise, dad will not let you off the hook.”

“What? Apologize to him?” Cheng Bayi laughed coldly, taking his sister’s mention of their father as her way of pressuring him with their dad’s authority.

Indeed, it’s hard to keep a grown daughter at home.
