Chapter 136: Chapter 136: The Incompetent Older Brother

"Li Zidong, I figured it out; you didn’t come to Huacheng to meet me. So, who’s the girl you’ve got your eyes on this time?"

"Are the beauties in Jin City not satisfying you anymore?"

Li Zidong chuckled and said, "It’s different. Northern girls can’t match the gentleness and passion of you Southern girls."

"Wei Lan?"

A young gentleman nearby glanced at the investigation materials in Li Zidong’s hand, paused, and then looked up at Li Zidong.

"Zidong, are you trying to woo her?"

Li Zidong couldn’t be bothered to explain. "Why can’t I?"

The young gentleman gave a bitter smile. "This woman isn’t easy to woo, and she’s not your type, right?"

"My type?"

"As long as she’s beautiful, I never refuse anyone. What, you doubt my abilities?"

The young gentleman sighed. "Zidong, I’m not doubting your abilities, but the woman you are targeting is known as one of the top four tomboys in Huacheng. She’s got looks but a tyrannical streak to match."

"A domineering female CEO? That’s even more to my liking. It feels more like a conquest."

"Alright, I have my plans on how to woo this girl. You don’t need to worry about it." Li Zidong waved his hand, and the young gentleman had no choice but to back down and not try to dissuade him further.

Instead, he was somewhat eager to see if Zidong could win over this tomboy’s heart, as this woman from the Wei Family had been quite prominent recently.

Qingcheng Fashion.

"Any plans for lunch?"

"President, General Huang from Creation invited you to lunch, and I’ve already reserved the restaurant."

Wei Lan briskly walked into the CEO’s office, her secretary following closely, the sound of her high heels crisp and pleasing.

"Good, I know, make me a cup of coffee."

Wei Lan sat at her desk, exhaled, and couldn’t help grinding her teeth when she thought of a certain carefree shopkeeper.

"President, your coffee, the car is downstairs."

"Mhm."

Wei Lan took a sip of coffee, rested for a moment, instructed her female secretary briefly, and then went downstairs to the car.

François Restaurant.

A well-known upscale restaurant in Huacheng, located beside the river at the Nail Tower, offering a 360-degree view of Huacheng’s beautiful scenery.

"Miss Wei, this way please."

The waiter led Wei Lan to a window-side table with a view of the river.

Wei Lan glanced at the opposite seat; the other party hadn’t arrived yet, which slightly displeased her. "A glass of lemon sparkling water, thank you."

"Alright."

Wei Lan checked the time and looked out the window.

Just then, the chair opposite her was pulled out, and someone sat down. Wei Lan turned to face the newcomer.

"Excuse me, sir, I think you sat at the wrong table."

Wei Lan spoke up to alert the stranger opposite her.

"Are you Wei Lan?" The stranger directly called out Wei Lan’s name, and Wei Lan frowned, appraising the man.

"Who are you? Do we know each other?"

"We didn’t, but now we do. Li Zidong—here’s my card." Li Zidong took out a business card and handed it to Wei Lan.

Wei Lan hummed, glanced at the business card that was simple—just a name and a number with a black and gold design and a subtle fragrance.

Such business cards usually mean two things, either the person is a big deal but low-key, using a personal card, or it’s just for show, to impress others.

Li Zidong.

Wei Lan had searched her mind for all the notable Huacheng elite families but couldn’t find anyone by the name Li Zidong.

"Hmm, sorry, I’m booked today. Is there something you need?"

Wei Lan directly issued an order to dismiss.

"Your lemon sparkling water." The waiter delivered the lemon sparkling water that Wei Lan had ordered, and Li Zidong reached over, grabbed it, and started drinking through the straw, an action that made Wei Lan frown again.

Li Zidong noticed Wei Lan’s expression but didn’t care, "Your appointment was with the president of Construction, right?"

Wei Lan looked up at Li Zidong.

"I sent him away. Instead of wasting time with him, why not have lunch with me and make a friend?"

Li Zidong said casually, and Wei Lan looked at him in surprise. He was young but bold.

Construction was among the top three in the Huacheng construction industry, though not as big as Sihai, it was well-established.

The fact that he could send someone from Construction away indicated that he was no simple character.

"What is your identity, and who do you represent? Why are you seeking me?"

Wei Lan looked at Li Zidong with a cold demeanor.

"Hey, don’t be so tense. You have my business card, don’t you? As for whom I represent, I represent myself, oh, and I can also represent my good-for-nothing brother."

"As for the purpose."

"Sihai Group, I want it."

Li Zidong said smiling, but his gaze towards Wei Lan was unmistakable.

Wei Lan heard Li Zidong’s declaration and scoffed.

"You want to swallow Sihai Group all by yourself? Just you? In Huacheng, I have yet to hear of someone like you. Such a big talker."

Li Zidong rested his chin on his hand, squinting at Wei Lan, "I want not just Sihai Group, but also you."

Hearing this, Wei Lan’s eyes immediately swept over Li Zidong coldly, "Are you insane?"

Wei Lan immediately scooted her chair back and stood up, having no interest in dealing with this mysterious person.

Li Zidong watched Wei Lan turn to leave and leaned comfortably against the back of his chair.

"Who said I am from Huacheng? I’m from Jin City. Also, the current chairman of Sihai, Li Feng, is my half-brother."

Wei Lan stopped in her tracks; she could ignore his arrogance but not that person.

"You’re saying you’re Li Feng’s brother?"

Wei Lan turned to look at Li Zidong.

"Correct. If you don’t believe it, you could call him or have him come over; actually, I quite miss him."

Li Zidong looked at Wei Lan with a smile.

Wei Lan looked at Li Zidong dubiously. She couldn’t afford to be careless, especially since she was currently working for Li Feng, dismembering Sihai at Li Feng’s command.

Suddenly, Li Feng’s brother appears, wanting to take over Sihai.

Wei Lan immediately took out her phone and called Li Feng.

A moment later.

"How about it, I wasn’t lying, was I?" Li Zidong said with a narrow-eyed smile as he looked at Wei Lan.

Wei Lan sat down again, looking at Li Zidong, "He’s on his way."

Li Zidong shrugged his shoulders, looking indifferent, "Whether he comes or not doesn’t really matter."

"In your Wei Family’s eyes, he’s just a dog to be ordered around, summoned and dismissed at will. However, now that I’m here, even if he’s no good, he’s still my half-brother."

"You might bully him when he’s a mess, but from now on, put away your little schemes."

"I want Sihai Group."

"Oh, and by the way, as punishment for you playing my brother, you’ll warm my bed while I’m in Huacheng."
