Chapter 963: Chapter 957: A Chance Encounter in the Cafeteria

Yang Mingzhu knew that if she gave up on Big Brother Li’s offer today, she might never have any dealings with him again.

But at the same time, she understood that if she accepted Big Brother Li’s proposal today, her relationship with him would change fundamentally from being equal to being completely unequal.

Li Changlin investing twenty billion fully controlled Zhiwei, and her own shares would certainly be greatly diluted; it would not be an exaggeration to say that Yang Mingzhu was merely a high-level employee.

Nevertheless, Yang Mingzhu didn’t want to let go of this slim chance.

As long as she could follow Big Brother Li, she was willing to even become a shadow.

Thus without much distress in her heart, Yang Mingzhu had already made up her mind about everything.

She knew what she wanted and what she was after.

So, Yang Mingzhu very gently agreed to Li Changlin’s offer.

After hanging up the phone, she relayed Li’s plans to the three shareholders and asked for everyone’s opinion.

"Going to develop in Shanghai City, what about Jincheng?"

"I would certainly support fully if we can grow bigger, but can Mr. Li really bring out twenty billion?"

"If Mr. Li really invests twenty billion, then we at Zhiwei will no longer have to be at the mercy of the banks!"

After hearing Yang Mingzhu’s explanation, the shareholders were all very excited.

Of course, some shareholders were skeptical about Li Changlin’s investment of twenty billion; however, this wasn’t a big issue since everyone could simply go to Shanghai City to check the veracity of the matter.

In the end, the four shareholders reached a consensus to go to Shanghai City as soon as possible to meet with Li Changlin, as Zhiwei was indeed in a critical situation, and they really wanted to resolve things properly.

After discussing with Yang Mingzhu, Li Changlin then headed to the cafeteria of Dragon TV with his team members.

It was already noon, and Dragon TV had arranged for everyone to dine in the cafeteria.

As the organizer of this year’s Xuanyuan’s Good Voice, Dragon TV had made satisfactory arrangements in all aspects.

However, Xie Yixin also joined her students, making their group tally up to twelve people, which was considerably fewer than Zhang Zhiqian’s group by eight people.

Zhang Zhiqian, leading a twenty-person team, was also heading to the cafeteria.

Thus, the two groups met at the entrance of the cafeteria.

"Yo, Yixin, you’re taking your students to eat!" Xie Yixin’s group was close to the door, about to enter the cafeteria directly.

But then Zhang Zhiqian didn’t want things to go smoothly for them and greeted them with a laugh.

This made Xie Yixin hesitate to enter immediately, so she and her entire team stopped.

"So, it’s Brother Zhang, you’re here to eat as well, huh?" Xie Yixin was always amiable toward everyone with a cheerful disposition; everyone in the circle knew she had a good temperament.

Such a good temperament usually meant no temper at all.

Zhang Zhiqian’s face also showed hints of a smile, but he did not immediately respond to Yixin’s words, instead, he turned to look at his students and lightly said, "Go in, I’ll have a chat with Sister Xie."

Zhang Zhiqian’s apparent intention was to hang back and chat, making Li Changlin, standing second in line in Xie’s team, to flash a hint of anger in his eyes.

Although Dragon TV’s cafeteria was not small, there were only so many good seats, and if Zhang Zhiqian’s students entered first, they would naturally take all the good seats.

This might not seem like a big deal, but Zhang Zhiqian could then come up with various ways to demoralize Xie Yixin’s team members, which could lead many of them to fall into his trap.

Li Changlin had truly never expected that competition in Xuanyuan’s Good Voice would extend to even dining, rendering him speechless.

"Sister Xie, since Teacher Zhang Zhiqian wants to chat with you, we’ll go ahead inside." Seeing Zhang Zhiqian’s people eager to move, Li Changlin couldn’t just watch them succeed.

So, he quickly called out, and Xie Yixin, somewhat startled, immediately caught on, "Okay, you guys go in."

"Let’s go, let’s head inside." With Xie Yixin’s approval, Li Changlin promptly greeted his team members. They were right at the doorway, while Zhang Zhiqian’s group was still a few meters away on the left, too far to compete in swiftness.

"Li Changlin, I also have something to say to you, don’t rush in." Seeing Li Changlin signaling his group to enter, irritation flickered in Zhang Zhiqian’s eyes.

"Oh, does Director Zhang have something to say to me?" Li Changlin turned around with a playful smile, "If Director Zhang is trying to recruit me into your camp, then forget it. Since I’ve chosen Sister Xie’s team, I naturally have no reason to betray her!"

"Li Changlin, don’t get me wrong, I wasn’t thinking about poaching anyone." Seeing that Li Changlin’s words had made Xie Yixin look upset, Zhang Zhiqian quickly chuckled awkwardly.

"If Director Zhang isn’t about poaching, then what else is there to discuss! Could it be that Director Zhang thinks I have potential and sincerely wants to help me?" Li Changlin’s face displayed a clear sneer, angered by such a weak excuse just to enter the cafeteria first.

"Li Changlin, how can you talk to a director like that!" Then suddenly, a beautiful woman emerged from the second floor.

Li Changlin recognized the voice and looked up.

Upon seeing her, his expression darkened as he spoke lightly, "Although I address him as Director Zhang, Sister Xie is my true mentor. I didn’t expect that you, Xu Xin, would actually join Director Zhang’s team."

"I also didn’t expect that you really passed the auditions for Xuanyuan’s Good Voice. It seems that Luo Tianyi must have pulled some strings for you!" Xu Xin scoffed sourly, knowing Luo Tianyi was one of the judges as rumors were circulating online about Li Changlin leveraging his relationship with her for favors.
