Chapter 394 Unexpected Situation
Ke Lei still had a smile on her face, but she didn't leave Su Mingyue any room for tact in her words.
Because she knew that someone like Su Mingyue, who was good at scheming and taking shortcuts, would seize any opportunity to exploit and scheme relentlessly once she was given a weakness.
She certainly wouldn't give the other party a chance, so in that case, some things needed to be said in advance. Hesitation and procrastination would only bring trouble later.
This is not what she wanted to see.
Now that we have this opportunity, it would be best to sever all ties with Su Mingyue.
Otherwise, if they really let Su Mingyue use her and Qiao Zhendong's reputation to seek benefits for herself, it would inevitably tarnish their image and cause them trouble.
Just thinking about that scene made Ke Lei frown.
At the same time, I'm also glad that I came with my daughter, Mengmeng.
She hadn't originally planned to come to today's investment conference, since her daughter was injured. She wanted to stay home and rest with her daughter, but Mengmeng insisted, so she had no choice but to come.
However, this also allowed her to nip Su Mingyue's idea in the bud.
Su Mingyue, however, could not believe what she was hearing and questioned him with a rather unconvinced expression.
"How could that be, Mrs. Qiao? Didn't you promise me this morning that you would invest in my friend's project?"
Ke Lei curled her lips and replied coldly, "You misunderstood. I said I would tell Zhen Dong about this, but I never promised to invest in your friend's project, nor could I make such a promise to you."
“However, I’ve changed my mind now. Your working style doesn’t meet the criteria that Cole is looking for partners, so there’s no need for the project.”
Considering the occasion, Ke Lei swallowed her words, which she originally intended to say were inappropriate in terms of character, and instead subtly changed it to her style of doing things.
But Su Mingyue didn't notice at all that she was quite shocked by Ke Lei's words.
"How could you do this? You broke your promise! You clearly agreed!" Su Mingyue persisted.
The opportunity is right in front of us, within reach, and will soon be realized.
Having come this far, she couldn't possibly let go of this opportunity.
Seeing that Su Mingyue seemed not to understand her words and stubbornly talked to herself, looking difficult to deal with, Ke Lei's patience was exhausted.
The coldness in his eyes grew even more pronounced. "I remember you saying how excellent your friend's project was, and how much we would benefit if we cooperated with you. In that case, I'm afraid you don't need another investor like us. Just look for other opportunities. We didn't stand in your way; you should be grateful!"
In the end, thinking of how Su Mingyue had boasted about the project, Ke Lei couldn't help but curl her lips into a sarcastic smile.
If the project were really as good as Su Mingyue said, why would they bother running to her so desperately and putting in so much effort?
Thinking of how Su Mingyue suddenly appeared when her bag was snatched that morning—a coincidence that couldn't be more perfect—and how eager Su Mingyue was now, as if she couldn't live without her, Ke Lei's eyes deepened, lost in thought.
Perhaps, what happened this morning...
As things unfolded in ways he had envisioned, Gu Changqi felt completely helpless.
Things developed too fast, completely different from what he had expected. Didn't Su Mingyue say that she had won over Qiao Zhendong's wife and promised to invest in him?
But what's going on now?
Seeing that Su Mingyue was becoming increasingly out of control, and with Madam Qiao's face dark and gloomy, it was clear that she had a very bad impression of Su Mingyue.
To avoid making things worse, Gu Changqi immediately stopped Su Mingyue from harassing him further, stepped forward, and said to Ke Lei.
"I'm sorry, madam. My friend was just trying too hard to help me. I apologize for the trouble he's caused you."
