le an smiled awkwardly. he understood the meaning behind fang yao’s words. he did not mention anything about the investment. in fact, that was not his plan.

however, when he thought of the gap between blue fox and xintao, he had to do something even if he had to be thick-skinned.

after saying a bunch of polite words, he finally got to the point.

“president fang, we’ve done some research on xintao’s development. actually, the reason why xintao surpassed blue fox is mainly because of your investment. xintao’s current results are all based on burning money. compared to xintao, blue fox is still almost on the same level despite being in such a disadvantageous situation. therefore, you should be able to judge our abilities, right?” le an raised his glass and wanted to toast with fang yao.

however, fang yao had no intention of raising his glass. instead, he looked at le an quietly for a few seconds before he slowly said, “so, according to president le, you want me to withdraw my investment from xintao and invest in blue fox?”

le an smiled and said, “well, that would be best if it’s possible. we can discuss whatever requests you have. although i don’t know what method yin xun used to get you to invest in xintao, 1 can guarantee that it won’t be long before our blue fox will definitely surpass xintao. yin xun is just a single woman after all. she doesn’t have any shrewdness. it’s simply a waste of your financial resources.

“i know that you usually don’t care about xintao’s matters as you’re only an investor, but do you know that yin xun is basically a hands-off manager? she doesn’t do anything and leaves everything to her employees. to be honest, we’re planning to poach the capable managers from xintao. once they leave, yin xun won’t have any helpers. i guarantee that as long as you invest in our blue fox…”

“you want to poach xintao’s employees?” le an had been chattering non-stop when fang yao interrupted him.

“that’s right.” after le an finished speaking, he felt that it might not have been good to say it so directly. he smiled and explained, “i know it’s not very nice to do this, but yin xun forced us to do this. we also want to develop peacefully. originally, as long as everyone did their own thing, there would not be problems. however, yin xun insisted on breaking the market rules and kept playing cheap tricks.”

fang yao asked indifferently, “so from blue fox’s perspective, you can’t innovate when doing business?”

le an quickly waved his hand to deny it. “of course not. it’s just that we’re the only two online purchasing companies in the market at the moment, so we should discuss any drastic changes. we can’t let one party suddenly change so much. isn’t this like throwing blue fox over a fire?”

“as far as 1 know, yin xun mentioned that she wanted to compete fairly with you, but you seemed to have rejected her offer,” fang yao said.

le an was stunned for a moment and did not know what to say. fang yao just sat there quietly and waited for him to speak.

after a while, le an thought of what to say. “president fang, you’re only investing to earn money. why should you share the money you earn with others? as long as you invest in blue fox, we can have xintao and yin xun…”

le an made a neck-cutting gesture, hinting that he would get rid of yin xun.

fang yao’s eyes darkened. he did not expect le an to be so bold as to say this out loud in front of him.

“so you’re treating me to a meal just to discuss business with me. i’m sorry, but it looks like 1 won’t be able to eat this meal,” fang yao said as he stood up to leave.

“president fang, please give me a chance. when you go back, think about it carefully. if you agree, you can call me at any time. if you don’t, i will still treat you as a friend. but this time, i sincerely want to treat you to a meal. please spare me some face.” le an smiled apologetically.

fang yao had no intention of sitting down. instead, he asked le an, “you just said that you’re curious why i invested in yin xun.”

“that’s right.” le an looked at fang yao expectantly.

a faint smile appeared on fang yao’s cold face. he slowly said, “how can you woo a girl if you don’t spend some money on her and show some sincerity?”

le an felt as if he had been struck by lightning. it took him a few seconds to realize what fang yao meant. he seemed to have heard something incredible.

le an still wanted to fight for the opportunity. “in that case, you should invest in our blue fox. this way, even if xintao closes down in the future, you won’t lose much..”
