Chapter 476: The Promise of Two Hundred Billion in Assets_2
This was a woman emanating an aura of a goddess, distant and aloof.
Without Dong Xun'er's permission, the bodyguards instantly blocked the noble lady from the booth, while Dong Xun'er holding a goblet and the woman across from her faced each other distantly. Even though they had never met before, both of their eyes carried a scrutinizing and prideful expression.
The serving girl, Gao Xia, had stopped speaking by now. Despite being shrewd and fearless of anyone, after witnessing the subtle standoff between the two, she knew these high-level big shots were beyond her place to comment.
Dong Xun'er didn't speak, she was waiting, waiting for the young lady representing the Zhao family to show weakness first.
If she couldn't gain the upper hand tonight, it might very well affect the subsequent acquisition negatively.
After a moment of silence, Sun Mengqi, dressed in a black bodysuit, finally revealed a smile and said clearly,
"Miss Dong certainly moves quickly. You've come half a month earlier than my estimations, I thought the Tianxin Building in the Capital City would keep Miss Dong busy for another half month!"
As soon as Zhao family's young lady finished speaking, Dong Xun'er's pupils shrank suddenly. Numerous thoughts flashed through her mind, and then a thought immediately surfaced in the depths of her mind.
She had just arrived in Suzhou City, and had only just made contact with the Zhao family, yet they knew her intentions. The only possibility was, there was a traitor among her own ranks.
Her gaze swept over the two personal secretaries beside her. The only ones who knew all her plans were these two personal secretaries. Although their time together was short, Dong Xun'er had always been fair to them, both in terms of treatment and in gratitude. They should have no reason to betray her!
Her mind raced, and at the same time, she waved off the two bodyguards standing in front of her and said evenly,
"Let Miss Sun in, and the two of you, step back. I have important matters to discuss with Miss Sun."
As Dong Xun'er finished speaking, she deliberately glanced at the two personal secretaries beside her. Before clearing up the matter, she had to guard against them.
After the two personal secretaries had left, Dong Xun'er, holding the goblet, probed gently,
"Miss Sun knows me? If I'm not mistaken, we've never met before."
As Dong Xun'er finished speaking, the woman with the goblet sat down lightly opposite her, and several women immediately stood up to give up their seats. At this point, Sun Mengqi with a deeply meaningful face chuckled and said,
"I and President Dong have never met, but I have heard of the title 'The Cold and Distant Aristocrat of the Magic Capital'. Suzhou City is only a mere hundred or so kilometers from the Magic Capital and is a necessary passageway to Hua County from the Magic Capital. If President Dong aims to overlook the whole of Hua Country, then Suzhou is a battleground that cannot be overlooked.
And looking at Suzhou, nothing else is worthy of President Dong's attention except for the Moon Lake Tower."
Now that the other party knew her intentions to acquire Moon Lake Tower, Dong Xun'er couldn't help but sigh inwardly, knowing she had lost the advantage. This meant that all her previous plans needed to be overturned.
Dong Xun'er's eyes carried a hint of curiosity, and she said with an extremely calm demeanor,
"Miss Sun is well-informed. I am quite curious to know, where did you hear about this from?"
Dong Xun'er's plans had always been carried out in secrecy, aside from Chu Mo, the enigmatic boss behind the scenes, only the two personal secretaries knew her plans. If someone within her inner circle had leaked the secrets, then she was determined to root out the mole.
The woman with a seductive aura laughed lightly, a smug look in her eyes, and spoke softly,
"What if I said, all of this was my own deduction, would you believe me, Miss Dong?"
Watching Dong Xun'er's incredulous expression, the woman who felt she had the upper hand confidently smiled and said, "Actually, it's quite easy to guess. When Miss Dong obtained the three tallest skyscrapers in the magic city, I paid a lot of attention to you. I watched your every move, so naturally, I was particularly interested in Miss Dong's trip to Capital City.
Upon hearing that Miss Dong intended to acquire Tianxin Building in Capital City, I boldly speculated that Miss Dong's ambitions were not just for one city or one pool, but for the whole of Hua Country, and even the entire world.
If I'm not mistaken, after acquiring Tianxin Building, your next target would inevitably be the whole of Hua Country, and Suzhou City, being the closest to the magic city, is also the essential route for expanding from the magic city to the entire country.
If Miss Dong wants to continue acquiring skyscrapers in Hua Country, you can't bypass our Suzhou City. Thus, Moon Lake Tower naturally becomes your next target.
I originally guessed that Miss Dong would come to us in half a month to discuss the acquisition of Moon Lake Tower, but I didn't expect Miss Dong to appear before me so soon. Although it is somewhat unexpected, it's largely within expectations!"
Sun Mengqi was brimming with confidence, but Dong Xun'er's face remained as calm as still water.
She picked up her wine glass and gently sipped, while a hint of bitterness suddenly welled up inside her. Since all her plans were thoroughly seen through, it was now meaningless for Dong Xun'er to deny anything.
Now, having appeared so urgently in Suzhou City and with all her movements already in the grasp of the Zhao family, they must have guessed that she was determined to obtain Moon Lake Tower. In such a case, there's no reason for them not to raise the price.
However, Dong Xun'er could only mobilize a fund of 21 billion. Beyond that amount, she had no authority. And the Suzhou Zhao family obviously wouldn't let go easily of such a willingly presented fat sheep. It was inevitable that they would ask for an exorbitant price!
A touch of desolation suddenly flashed through Dong Xun'er's heart. She had very grand goals and plans, and Moon Lake Tower in Suzhou was just a minor part of this plan. Her sights were set on the whole world. However, if she couldn't successfully acquire Moon Lake Tower, it would also have a profound impact on her future acquisitions.
Was everything that had just begun ending here?
Taking a deep breath and looking extremely serious, Dong Xun'er earnestly looked at the woman in front of her and after a moment, her voice was grave as she said:
"The matter of acquiring Moon Lake Tower, is it your own speculation, or is the whole Zhao family aware? Miss Sun, you know this relates to your own future. I hope you can answer truthfully."
Sun Mengqi put away the expression on her face, her gaze equally direct as she looked at Dong Xun'er, who was dressed in opulence, and after a moment of silence, she said in an indifferent tone, "What if I say it's the former!"
A glimmer of light re-emerged in Dong Xun'er's eyes. If all this was just the speculation of the woman before her, and the Zhao family wasn't aware, Dong Xun'er felt that she might still have a chance to turn the tables.
She took a deep breath and then said with a solemn face:
"To my knowledge, Miss Sun is only a collateral family member of the Zhao family. Although you have the support of the Zhao family's matriarch, you are not a direct heir. Now, as the general manager of Moon Lake Tower, you are ostensibly one of the three people in charge, but in reality, you still have to please the Zhao family. With your talents, just being a general manager is truly beneath you.
If I successfully acquire Moon Lake Tower, Miss Sun, you will be the chairwoman of Moon Lake Tower.
Moreover, as you yourself said, my ambitions are not confined to the magic city. My layout covers all the first-tier cities in Hua Country and the entire world. The acquisition of Moon Lake Tower is just a small part of my plan. If you cooperate, Miss Sun, you'll control the tallest buildings in the magic city, Suzhou City, and the nearby five first-tier cities—all under your management.
This is my promise to you, Dong Xun'er!"
Dong Xun'er locked eyes with the woman opposite her, her voice steady and confident, without a trace of emotion.
The three major skyscrapers in the magic city are valued at over 80 billion. Together with Moon Lake Tower, that's a total of 100 billion in assets. If you include the tallest buildings in the nearby five first-tier cities, the total assets might well reach 200 billion.
As long as the woman before her, Sun Mengqi, nodded, she could become a top tycoon controlling assets worth 200 billion, rather than just being a peripheral miss in the Suzhou Zhao family.
However, amidst Dong Xun'er's anticipation, Sun Mengqi suddenly curved her lips into a smile. She pulled out a phone from her pocket, and then spoke into the device:
"How about that, my guess wasn't wrong, was it?"
The other party had been recording the whole time!
Seeing the scene unfold before her, Dong Xun'er's mind plunged into an abyss.
