Chapter 158 - 158 60 Her expectations of me are high_2

158: Chapter 60 Her expectations of me are high?_2 158: Chapter 60 Her expectations of me are high?_2 “Alright, Mi’er, you’re right.

I do hope to obtain some startup capital from you all, so I can finish setting up the company in America sooner,”

“But the truth is, I’m lacking in so many areas—funds, manpower, equipment, including not having a legal identity right now, and I still need your help to register the company.”

“Let’s just eat, and not talk about this anymore.”

“If you’re wrong, you admit it.

Cheng Daqi has a competitive edge, and he has confidence,”

“But these either involve rebirth, which can’t be explained, or are too subjective, which can’t be quantified.”

“Better to wait, wait till Eris’s side gets the identity sorted, then slowly start up.”

“Anger has levels.”

“Ordinary anger makes people’s blood pressure rise, and they want to vent.”

“Intense anger puts the body into an agitated state, ready to throw punches at any moment.”

“When Temir questioned Cheng Daqi, her anger level was probably above ordinary, but not yet intense.”

“But now, she was pulled in by Cheng Daqi’s words.”

“Cheng Daqi truly didn’t want to talk about investment anymore, he wasn’t using any tricks or sales talk.”

“Realizing his lack of preparation and that he’d been too hasty, he didn’t plan to seek investment right now,”

“But in Temir’s eyes, Cheng Daqi was just playing with her emotions.”

“She now felt an extreme level of anger, stemming from Cheng Daqi’s behavior.”

“You need investment, I’ve talked with you so much, and you’ve said so much too,”

“I spotted the problems, questioned you, and exposed your flaws.”

“You should change!”

“Why don’t you seem to want to change, and instead you stop discussing altogether!”

“It’s like being approached by a scumbag; at first, Temir was extremely guarded, but the scumbag was so good at it, wearing her down until she gave in,”

“Then, when she was already in bed, she noticed the scumbag’s technique wasn’t satisfying, so she complained a little.”

“And the scumbag just pulled up his pants and ran!”

“Ran!”

“Bastard!”

“Hahaha, Chan, goose~ goose~ goose~”

“Extreme anger doesn’t have a fixed way to show itself; it depends on the person.”

“For Temir, her current state was laughing in extreme anger.”

“What’s wrong?”

“Cheng Daqi had been through many girls, but he still didn’t understand women.”

“However, seeing Temir, her expression out of control and her eyes filled with coldness, laughing without being able to speak, he felt apprehensive.”

“Her state was clearly problematic.”

Grabbing the arm of the raven-haired heiress, Lisa was somewhat worried.

As a best friend, the blonde Caucasian of course realized Temir’s state wasn’t quite right,”

With her hand on her chest, Temir stared fixedly at the man sitting directly across from her,”

Cheng Daqi was still focused on enjoying the fine food, eating while waiting for Temir to reply, thinking this demoness was definitely going to make a big scene.”

“Chan, you truly are an asshole.”

“Mi’er, he…”

Lisa actually thought that there was nothing wrong with Cheng Daqi’s approach.”

After all, isn’t cooperation all about negotiation?”

“Don’t interrupt, let me talk to him.”

Putting down his chopsticks, Cheng Daqi knew that he seemed to have made Temir angry.”

“Mi’er, I wanted to draw you and Lisa into investing today, and indeed I was a bit hasty, but I had no intention of tricking you.”

He didn’t understand Temir’s thoughts, but making an apology wouldn’t be wrong, would it?”

“You are my best friends, I come with true…”

“Stop it, sincerity is just your toy, you think I haven’t seen right through you?

When you need sincerity, you’re incredibly genuine, but once your sincerity obstructs your interests, will you still care?

Don’t disgust me, we’re the same kind of people, I can see through it!”

Temir was a girl born into a capitalist family, and since childhood, she had been steeped in the cold world of interests,”

She understood Cheng Daqi’s behavior logic, so when she started considering the investment, she was truly ready to invest in Cheng Daqi,”

But Cheng Daqi’s trait of being inscrutable and uncontrollable completely infuriated her,”

Lisa watched her best friend in confusion; she really didn’t think there was anything wrong with what Cheng Daqi had done,”

Yes, he wasn’t ready with all the details for the financing, but he also said that he wouldn’t ask us for money now,”

Is it necessary?”

The blonde Caucasian and Temir had been best friends for many years, and their relationship was extremely good.”

In the past, Lisa would have resolutely stood by Temir,”

But now, the blonde Caucasian subconsciously began to argue in favor of Cheng Daqi,”

“Mi’er, what nonsense are you talking about?

Chan…”

“I told you to shut up!”

The heiress, with her aura fully unleashed, easily subdued her best friend,”

She straightened her hair that had been tousled just before and laughed again, her voice becoming gentle,”

“I’ll invest eight hundred thousand in you; that’s a demand, not a negotiation.”

Looking at the heiress, Cheng Daqi had many thoughts in his mind,”

People, written with two strokes; simple, yet too complex.”

An hour before, Temirla held his hand firmly, standing by his side in support.

Now, she has become this aggressively confrontational person.

She has high expectations of me?

That must be the reason.

Since when did it start?

Cheng Daqi couldn’t figure it out.

He nodded and said,

“Of course, Mi’er, but we might have some misunderstanding.”

“There’s no misunderstanding, Chan, you’re a jerk, and I’m a bitch, we’re cut from the same cloth.”

Temirla’s response was decisive.

“We’re not the same kind of people, at least I’m sure I wouldn’t invest in an entrepreneur who’s as desperate as me, one who hopes to secure financing without having anything prepared.”

Shrugging his shoulders, Cheng Daqi didn’t think he was a jerk.

You can curse me, you can insult me, you can mock me.

But darling, I’m not like you.

Every idealist thinks they’re different.

They can bow to reality, but they can’t suppress the indignation in their hearts.

That indignation, Cheng Daqi never talked about with others, but he never lost it.

—————–

Lisa had already dropped Cheng Daqi back at the house, and was driving the car on her way back to the Temir Manor villa.

The raven-haired rich woman sat in the passenger seat, not speaking, only looking down at her phone.

When the blond bimbo’s eyes swept over the rearview mirror for the seventh time, Temirla impatiently said,

“Hurry up and ask, I’m afraid you’ll get into an accident if you keep looking at the rearview mirror.”

“I don’t understand.”

“You don’t understand what?”

“A lot, like why you cared so much that he wasn’t prepared before coming to us for funding, but you still invested in the end.

Also, you said yourself, he’s all smoke and mirrors, why didn’t you discuss any details of the partnership with him.

So, were you just talking big earlier or do you actually plan to give him the money?”

The blond bimbo felt today’s dinner was too weird, all three of them just eating in silence.

After Cheng Daqi spoke those words, they didn’t discuss any details about the investment terms at all.

This was too bizarre.

Turning her head towards the car window, the raven-haired rich woman softly replied,

“I don’t know, I was just really angry at the time, so angry.”

The car stopped at the crosswalk, red light.

“You don’t know?”

The blond bimbo didn’t believe it, she thought Temirla was brushing her off.

“People shouldn’t make decisions when they’re angry, that saying is so true.”

After the anger was an immense emptiness, Temirla felt her mind was blank.

That’s why she became silent during the meal.

“Don’t tell me you’re thinking of not investing now…”

Lisa was exhausted by her best friend’s response.

She really did want to invest, as she had deduced a pattern from Temirla’s past failed investment experiences: the raven-haired rich woman invested in the wrong people.

Regarding whether Cheng Daqi was reliable, the blond bimbo had her own judgment,

“No, I’ll give him eight hundred thousand, help him register the company, and get the offshore equity structure he wants done.”

Fidgeting with her annoying long nails, Temirla murmured,

“You’ve only had one argument with him so far, and you haven’t discussed anything, like shares, for example.

You’re investing eight hundred thousand for what percentage of the shares, did he tell you?”

“It doesn’t matter, it’s just a small amount of money, I’ll take a 20% stake.”

“What about me then?

If you invest eight hundred thousand for a twenty percent stake, and I put in two hundred thousand for only a five percent stake, that’s too much of a loss.”

“You know it’s a loss, so why did you speak in his favor just now?”

The raven-haired rich woman pushed her best friend’s shoulder disapprovingly.

“You were being too overbearing, he’s our friend.”

“He acts like a scumbag.”

“Remove the ‘acts like’, the last time he took me to that restaurant we just dined at, he told me it was the first time he had dinner with a woman in his life.”

Thinking of what Cheng Daqi said then and his behavior now, the blond bimbo felt a stark contrast.

Such a damn scumbag!

“Ha, the sincere Chan~”

The raven-haired rich woman sighed.

The car started up, and Lisa continued to ask,

“Are you going to buy Tesla stocks?”

She still loved Tesla so much.

“Yes, I already messaged my fund manager during dinner, going long with a four-fold leverage.”

Temirla smiled cunningly and replied.

“You really are a bitch!”

At a brake to the curb, Lisa cursed her best friend and opened the financial app on her phone.

Raising an eyebrow, Temirla sighed,

“But who could deny that jerk is truly smart.”
