My Sexy Female CEO

"My mobile project roughly needs about 1.5 billion, can your boss friend afford that?" An Qi asked curiously.

On hearing this sum, Lin Yifan was slightly taken aback; it was indeed a significant expenditure. Although his company had that much money, it would definitely have to convene a board meeting since his was a joint-stock company, and any major decision had to be unanimously approved by the board. However, with his influence in the company, even if those fifty-plus owners disagreed, they would have to agree.

After pondering for a moment, Lin Yifan answered, "They should be able to!"

"That's good!" An Qi breathed a sigh of relief, feeling as if a weight had been lifted from her heart.

When Zhou Jiajia returned home, she confronted her parents about whether there was a betrothal gift, a lucky wedding date, or even the notion of an acceptable son-in-law.

To her disbelief, instead of feeling ashamed, her parents asked excitedly, "Did you meet Young Master Zhen?"

Zhou Jiajia didn't respond to their question but instead rebuked loudly, "How can you make decisions about my marriage on your own? Did you even ask for my opinion?"

"Marriage is about parental decree and the matchmaker's word. What's wrong with what we're doing? Besides, Young Master Zhen has tens of billions in wealth. When you marry into his family, you won't have to work and suffer every day. We're doing this for your own good!" Zhou's father explained.

"For my good? You really have the nerve to say that. My happiness isn't based on money. Don't impose your vulgar thoughts on me, it's sickening," Zhou Jiajia admonished angrily.

"You…are you trying to anger us to death?" Zhou's father, pointing at Zhou Jiajia, clutched at his chest, breathing heavily in agitation.

"Then, do you want to force your daughter to death? Is that what will satisfy you?" Zhou Jiajia retorted.

"I told you, I'm doing this for your good!" Zhou's father said emotionally.

"For my good? You keep saying it's for my good, but have you ever considered how I feel; do you know who Zhen Jian is to me? He's the person I detest most in my life; do you really want your daughter to live with the person she hates the most? You're truly cruel," Zhou Jiajia's heart turned cold, unable to comprehend such parents.

"Cruel? What do you mean cruel? Cruel would be if we killed you at birth; cruel would be if we tortured you from childhood without giving you good food, clothes, or shelter; but did I? I did not, so how can I be cruel? Besides, didn't he just dump you once? What's the big deal? When I was young, your mother dumped me often, and aren't we still living together happily?" Zhou's father asked, puzzled.

"What's the big deal? You make it sound so trivial; you are not your daughter, how would you know how much pain I'm in?" Zhou Jiajia sneered, finding her father beyond reason.

"So what if you're in pain? Do you plan to live with that pain for the rest of your life?" Zhou's father questioned.

"I'd rather live with pain all my life than spend my days with that scoundrel. In short, my marriage is my own business. I advise you not to meddle, or don't blame me for being heartless." Zhou Jiajia refused to say more and went upstairs to her room, where she wept from grievance.

"You… You dare threaten me! I really want to knock you out with this smoking pipe, you unfilial girl," Zhou's father, furious, picked up the smoking pipe, really wanting to chase after her and strike.

However, he was stopped by Zhou's mother, "Alright! Alright! Husband, don't get agitated. Jiajia was probably just speaking out of anger; she'll be fine once she calms down."

Zhou's father snorted coldly, then returned to his room as well.

On the other hand, Lin Yifan informed Su Qingqing about the investment event happening tonight and asked her to get ready for it.

Upon hearing that she would meet her big sister, Su Qingqing felt a wave of nervousness, unsure of what to do.

"Yifan, what should I wear to go? And what gift should I bring?" Su Qingqing asked nervously and excitedly.

"You don't need to bring any gift, and there's no need to wear anything fancy, just go as you normally would," Lin Yifan replied.

"Is big sister easy to talk to?" Su Qingqing continued to inquire.

"She's very understanding and easy to talk to," Lin Yifan answered.

"There will be a good show to watch tomorrow! It's going to be a battle between the main wife and the mistress, just thinking about it seems exciting," Little Lian suddenly chimed in with a bit of schadenfreude.

"Girl, you'd better behave yourself tomorrow and don't let my identity slip, nor Qingqing's, got it?" Lin Yifan instructed.

His sister was now Su Qingqing's secretary, so the troublemaker would definitely be there tomorrow, hence his need to remind her to avoid any chaos.

"Got it! Casanova," Little Lian retorted with a pout.

The reason why her brother didn't want her to reveal their identities was entirely to surprise Zhou Jiajia. The thought of him swooping into the Zhou Family with five billion yuan was just imposing.

After chatting for a while more, Lin Yifan escorted them back to rest; he too silently drove back to his rental house.

The next morning, Lin Yifan sneaked into the company to hold a board meeting; there, he mentioned last night's investment.

"Director Lin, fifteen billion is too much; without that money, the company would have some operational difficulties. Moreover, the investment is in Antian Group, which is nearly failing. Once the news gets out, it might cause our company's stock to plummet, which would be very bad. Please reconsider, Director Lin," the directors expressed their concerns.

They really didn't want to waste money on a company on the brink of bankruptcy. If Antian Group were to collapse, they might not get back a single cent.

"My decision has been made, and I, Lin, will bear all the consequences alone. Do you have any further objections?" Lin Yifan asked calmly.

His cold gaze and impassive face were an invisible threat; he used his own presence to intimidate everyone present, leaving each director afraid to speak more.

He who knows the times is a wise man; the group of directors knew that opposing Lin Yifan would get them no benefits, so they chose to compromise.

"Since Director Lin has spoken this way, who are we to object? Let's invest! Maybe we will even make a profit!" the directors sighed in response, clearly reluctant.

"It's good that you see it that way!" Getting the result he wanted, Lin Yifan did not wish to waste any more words and directly adjourned the meeting: "Today's meeting is hereby concluded. You're dismissed!"

Afterward, the directors left the company disgruntled, each returning to fight for their own businesses.

Lin Yifan too got in his car and returned to Antian Group, informing An Qi of the agreed-upon location and time.

"You big pervert! Thank you very much," An Qi sincerely expressed her gratitude; the opportunity was indeed precious and might help her company escape from crisis.
