Chapter 1579 - 1455: Hilltop Villa
"Speak."
"If possible, I’d like to take some time to have a face-to-face talk with Mr. Cui’s father."
Jian Lingling went straight to the point.
Cui Junyan lightly raised an eyebrow and said flatly, "No need, I know what you want to say. Whatever you want, just talk to me. As long as I agree, my father won’t oppose it."
Jian Lingling was speechless.
Indeed, the Jian family’s main business was still in Huaxia. Although business in Korea was very important for the Jian family, for the top Korean family, the Cui family, it wasn’t necessarily a significant piece of the pie.
At best, it was just a piece of fat meat, something to take a bite of but not worth getting worked up about.
"So what will it take for Cui to let our Jian family’s goods enter the Cui family?" Jian Lingling asked directly.
"Fifty percent!" Cui Junyan smiled faintly, "I need fifty percent of the profit from your Jian family’s business in Korea. As long as you agree, the goods can immediately enter the Korean market!"
Fifty percent!
Jian Lingling’s pretty face changed color immediately. This was a joke; opening with a fifty percent profit was simply insane from Cui Junyan.
"No way, that’s too much, I can’t agree!" Jian Lingling immediately shook her head. If fifty percent of the profits were handed over, then what was the point of expanding business in Korea?
"Then there’s nothing more to discuss." Cui Junyan turned to leave.
"Mr. Cui, wait." Hua Zhongxing quickly grabbed Cui Junyan, smiling, "Mr. Cui, why not give me some face and discuss it further."
"Forty percent!" Cui Junyan’s expression didn’t change, arrogantly saying, "In light of Hua Zhongxing, forty percent of the profit is our Cui family’s bottom line."
Jian Lingling hesitated.
The Cui family wanted forty percent of the net profit, leaving the Jian family with sixty percent. For her, this was a difficult decision.
Giving away forty percent still left profit, but it lost its original appeal, becoming a tasteless dish that’s hard to give up.
Hesitation.
"I don’t have time to wait!" Cui Junyan said impatiently.
"Alright then." Jian Lingling was helpless inside; to expand the market, she had to give up most of the profits, "Our Jian family is willing to give up forty percent..."
"Didn’t I say? You can just talk to me about this, no need to beg others."
At this moment, a calm voice sounded.
Upon hearing this familiar voice, Jian Lingling was immediately delighted, while the others were slightly taken aback. Everyone quickly turned around to see a clean-cut young man in a white shirt approaching.
"Who are you?" Seeing Jian Lingling’s interruption, Cui Junyan immediately frowned and asked.
"Mr. Cui, his name is Ye Qingfeng, a young man from Huaxia, presumably Jian Lingling’s friend." Hua Zhongxing explained from the side.
Ye Qingfeng approached, and Jian Lingling looked at him with visible joy, her eyes nearly sparkling, making it obvious to onlookers how happy she was.
Park Zhen and Cui Junyan both gave Hua Zhongxing a strange look.
Given Hua Zhongxing’s status, his beloved woman was taken by a young Huaxia boy?
"Ye Qingfeng, where did you come from? How are you here?" Jian Lingling exclaimed joyfully, unable to resist grabbing Ye Qingfeng’s arm.
"I’m here taking care of some things, staying over there." Ye Qingfeng casually pointed to a villa on the mountain top.
"Haha!" Hua Yun’er suddenly laughed, eyes full of disdain, "You’re taking care of business at the Hanxing Li Family and staying in a mountain top villa? Do you know what kind of people live there?"
"That’s for the Li family’s most core elders only. The place you pointed to is a symbol of the Li family’s glory, not used for living."
"As expected, you Huaxia men love to save face and boast..."
Hua Yun’er spat out her words, her expression growing more contemptuous, holding no good feelings towards Ye Qingfeng.
In her mind, Ye Qingfeng was full of self-aggrandizing stories yet critically flawed, his behavior laughably childish.
Ye Qingfeng shook his head with a smile, not saying anything.
"What’s wrong, feeling guilty? Why not say you’re staying in a mountain top villa now?" Hua Yun’er pursued unrelentingly, continuing to mock.
"I do live there; do I need to explain that to you?" Ye Qingfeng found it ridiculous.
"Friend, that’s quite a claim; you must be an important figure, right?" At this, Cui Junyan spoke up, staring at Ye Qingfeng.
Cui Junyan didn’t like the tone this young Huaxia was using.
"In your Korea, I am indeed a significant figure." Ye Qingfeng nodded honestly.
The Li family was Korea’s strongest family, and with them under his control, he was considered a big deal in Korea.
Everyone was dumbfounded; this person really had no shame, truly an oddball.
Cui Junyan raised an eyebrow, laughing faintly: "Interesting, are all Huaxia youths this interesting? I’m quite intrigued by you now. I want to know what gives you such confidence."
"Idiot."
Ye Qingfeng coldly spat out the word; he hated people who pretended to be mature in front of him. This guy acting arrogant in front of him wasn’t qualified.
"What did you say?"
Cui Junyan immediately became angry, raising an eyebrow, staring coldly at Ye Qingfeng. The faces of those around changed dramatically!
Hua Yun’er and Hua Zhongxing were stunned; they never expected Ye Qingfeng to dare say such a thing.
Idiot!
This was a major figure of the Cui family, and he dared to call him an idiot; wasn’t he courting death?
"Are you crazy? Do you know what you’re saying? Ling’er, I’ve told you before, this is just a boastful and flashy man. Now look, you’re dragged into this!"
Hua Yun’er was furiously scolding in a cold voice.
Jian Lingling’s pretty face also changed slightly; she knew Ye Qingfeng’s character, consistently arrogant and indifferent, seemingly calm but with an inexplicable pride.
In the Martial Artist gathering, he was like that!
But here, it wasn’t the Eastern Base Southwest Region’s martial gathering, but the Hanxing Li Family’s event where the nation’s top wealthy family gathered, nothing comparable.
She started to worry.
"Ye Qingfeng is my boyfriend. I’ll be responsible for what he says!" Jian Lingling declared firmly.
Looking at Ye Qingfeng, she wrapped her arm around his, her eyes showing a hint of resolve.
Everything she had was given by Ye Qingfeng. Her efforts to expand the Jian family’s overseas industry were all for Ye Qingfeng. Now, she was naturally going to stand with him.
