Chapter 1267: Chapter 1033: What Can Be Gained_2

Wang Ye lifted his head and asked with a hint of surprise, "Li Fuzhen? Why is she outside? Has the meeting with Yelena and the Samsung delegation ended?"

Nova shook her head, "To my knowledge, the meeting has just begun. Only Miss Li Fuzhen is outside; she said she has some other investments she’d like to discuss privately with you, Boss."

Wang Ye frowned slightly and was about to refuse, but then he thought, if Li Fuzhen is sneaking around to see him, could it be that she really has something she can’t say in front of Li Zairong?

This made Wang Ye curious.

Seeing as it wouldn’t take up much of his time, meeting her wouldn’t hurt.

So, Wang Ye nodded, "Let her in."

...

Shortly after, led by Nova, Li Fuzhen entered Wang Ye’s office.

Upon her arrival, Wang Ye stood up politely, invited Li Fuzhen to sit down beside the sofa, and had Nova bring two cups of coffee.

Li Fuzhen sat opposite Wang Ye, looking somewhat nervous, so her moves and expressions seemed somewhat unnatural.

Wang Ye didn’t rush to speak but took small sips from his coffee cup instead.

Li Fuzhen also held her coffee cup but was not in the mood to drink, her lips moved a few times without uttering a word, probably still organizing her thoughts, not sure how to begin.

Of course, it was also possible that she couldn’t speak Russian...

After a moment of silence, Li Fuzhen finally spoke, "Director Mikhail, what I’m about to discuss might be a bit presumptuous, and I hope you can forgive me."

She spoke these words in Russian, and her pronunciation was quite standard, which surprised Wang Ye.

It seemed this woman was not simple, spoken fluently in Russian without having studied abroad in Russia.

Wang Ye nodded subtly and said, "It’s okay, just speak your mind."

He really didn’t believe Li Fuzhen could bring up some earth-shattering issue. After all, as powerful as Samsung was, it was just a company; some things might be important in Li Fuzhen’s eyes but were trivial in front of Wang Ye...

Li Fuzhen pondered for a moment and then a wry smile appeared on her face, "Perhaps you’ve heard about my situation and think of me as that kind of... how should I say it, a foolish woman blinded by love, but the truth is not as it appears on the surface..."

This was about her marriage scandal, Wang Ye had indeed seen it in Li Fuzhen’s profile and wondered why such a savvy woman had committed such a foolish act.

At the time, he didn’t give it much thought, as it was of no concern to Wang Ye, but now that Li Fuzhen had brought it up specifically, there must be a reason.

Wang Ye didn’t make a sound but gestured for Li Fuzhen to continue.

With a light sigh, Li Fuzhen steadied her emotions and continued:

"Choosing such a man for marriage was simply because I couldn’t accept it!

Even though my abilities and performance surpass my brother’s, just because my brother is a man and I am a woman, the family assets inevitably passed to my brother, and I was denied even the chance to compete!

I believe that under my leadership, the Samsung Group would see better development, while in my brother’s hands it would only lead to the decline of our family’s business!

So, I was unwilling to follow my father’s wishes to marry into another wealthy family, as that would sever my ties with the Samsung Group completely, and in my husband’s family, I would have no chance to continue my career, only to become a domestic woman with no status.

That’s why I purposely chose a low-born, incapable bodyguard to be my husband.

In doing so, I can still remain within the family and continue my career, while retaining a glimmer of opportunity to take over the family business!

Others laugh at me, saying I’ve been blinded by love, but that’s just because they don’t understand my intentions."

"For me, what’s love, what’s marriage, compared to the affairs of the family enterprise, those things are hardly worth mentioning!"

The more Li Fuzhen spoke, the more emotional she became, even involuntarily waving her arms about.

Wang Ye just put down his coffee cup and said calmly, "Those are your family matters, and they have nothing to do with me. If you came here to talk to me about these issues, then you may leave, because I don’t have that much time to listen to these trivial family stories."

Li Fuzhen immediately composed herself, and her expression became less agitated. She ran her hand through her hair and spoke with an apologetic tone, "I’m sorry for making Director Mikhail be the subject of such amusement. I’ll get straight to the point now."

Wang Ye nodded slightly, signaling her to continue.

Taking a deep breath, Li Fuzhen looked at Wang Ye with determination and said, "I hope to gain Director Mikhail’s assistance to take control of the Samsung Group!"

Wang Ye frowned slightly, his gaze playful as he looked at Li Fuzhen and asked with a smile, "Two questions, first, Samsung Group has almost no intersection with Russia, and within your own country, it’s not within my sphere of influence. Why do you think I can help you? Second, on what grounds do you expect my help, and what would I gain from it?"

Wang Ye truly felt bewildered. Was there something wrong with this Li Fuzhen’s mental state?

Suddenly she came to him, poured out her woes, and talked about seeking his help in seizing control of her family’s business...

But Samsung wasn’t in Russia, and he hadn’t extended his reach to South Korea. This sorry affair was completely unrelated to him. Why on earth should he help her?

Faced with the two questions raised by Wang Ye, Li Fuzhen was calm, straightened her back slightly, and said with genuine sincerity, "Director Mikhail, before coming to Moscow, I had done extensive groundwork. I won’t hide it from you, I learned Russian just in the past two years, and the purpose of learning Russian was so that I could communicate with you face-to-face without a translator in Moscow!"

Wang Ye was slightly astonished upon hearing this. He found it very difficult to imagine that, just to meet and communicate with him in person, this woman had spent two years learning a foreign language, and she had learned it quite well too.

This showed she was truly determined, one of those resolute characters!

However, Wang Ye didn’t say much, he just nodded at her to continue.

Li Fuzhen went on to say, "The thing I want to do, I can’t find anyone in my own country to help me because no one has the capability! So I looked abroad, hoping to leverage foreign assistance to realize my dream. That’s when I noticed you, who have already begun to rise. After observing for two years, I believe that with your current strength, helping me realize that dream wouldn’t be difficult. Besides, precisely because your sphere of influence does not include our country, even if you did some things, no one would suspect you, which actually becomes an advantage!"

Some things...

Li Fuzhen’s insinuations were clear enough to Wang Ye without asking; they must involve some "unconventional means."

But for a wealthy family like the Li family, any measure taken in the struggle over inheritance wouldn’t be surprising.

Just as Li Fuzhen had said, although he hadn’t extended his reach to South Korea, if he really wanted to help her, it truly wouldn’t be difficult.

In such matters, Wang Ye’s Wagner Group had too many "professionals" at his disposal...

Li Fuzhen probably knew that the Wagner Group was under his control; that’s why she took the risk to see him in person.

However, there was still one last issue, which was the second question Wang Ye had just raised: why should he help her...

...

Before meeting with Wang Ye, Li Fuzhen must have prepared thoroughly because she understood that her visit with Wang Ye had to succeed; failure was not an option!

If she couldn’t persuade Wang Ye, then she might even face a life-threatening danger!

She took a long breath, her tone resolute as she said:

"As for what you would gain from helping me?

My answer is, anything you want!

That includes a portion of Samsung Group’s shares, indirect control over the Group, or even myself included!

Of course, you might not be interested in me..."
