Li Hongmei stepped behind a nearby pillar, appearing to take a highly private phone call, yet her voice was surprisingly loud.
"Huajie," she said deliberately into the phone, "it's not that I haven't thought of you; it's just that this project is too hot right now. So many people want to invest! Out of the thirty billion investment quota, there are only twenty million left after just five days! My husband invested ten billion himself, and I put in a few million under my son's name. The rest has been snatched up by various connections. I received news half an hour ago that this project has already raised one billion nine hundred eighty million; only twenty million is left for investment, and I want to reserve all of it for my son. Honestly, I didn't expect this project to be so sought after, but now the entire market is focused on it; everyone is in agreement!"
She continued, "Yes, yes, this project is a sure win. But when I first mentioned it to you, there were still ten billion left in the quota. I urged you to invest, but you hesitated for two days. Just those two days of hesitation cost you the opportunity. Huajie, you can't blame me for this. Next time there's an investment opportunity, I'll call you again! You know my husband has plenty of projects; he won't miss this one! Well, I have to hang up now; I'm with my son looking at properties!"
After hanging up the phone, Li Hongmei let out a heavy sigh. As she grumbled to herself and returned to her seat, she thought about how in this day and age, if one didn't seize opportunities that came knocking at the door, they would never find wealth! Now that she thought about it, who would give her another chance?
Zhou Zishuo turned to Li Hongmei and asked, "How much is left in that project? Is it really just twenty million?"
"Yes," Li Hongmei replied. "There are only twenty million left. I'm still contemplating whether to invest it under your name or give it as a gift to your wife’s family. I haven't decided yet."
Zhou Zishuo cautioned her, "I think it's better not to. After all, investing carries risks. What if we end up losing money?"
Li Hongmei pondered for a moment before saying, "That's true. Although the project's success rate is ninety-nine percent, there's still a one percent chance of failure."
She then decided, "Let's invest that last twenty million under your name; we can handle that ourselves."
At that moment, Zhang Huizhi could no longer contain herself and quickly interjected, "What kind of big project requires a twenty million investment?"
Li Hongmei laughed and replied, "It's not just twenty million; it's thirty billion! And now only twenty million is left in the quota—it's a hot commodity that ordinary people wouldn't even know about."
Zhang Huizhi's eyes widened in surprise as she asked eagerly, "What kind of project is it? Can I take a look? My son has been considering switching to investments lately but hasn't found any projects yet. If it's reliable, we would like to invest too!"
Li Hongmei raised an eyebrow and maintained her composure as she strictly followed the script Tong Le had taught her.
With an air of seriousness, she said, "Look here, dear sister; we just met today. You can't rush into investments like this—there are risks involved. Besides, if your family doesn't have assets worth tens of millions or even hundreds of millions as a foundation, you shouldn't jump in recklessly."
Li Hongmei stood up and said to Zhou Zishuo, "Come on, son; we have another property to look at."
Turning politely to Zhang Huizhi, she added, "I hope we meet again."
Li Hongmei and Zhou Zishuo left together while Zhang Huizhi attempted to stop them. However, as she rose to approach them, she hesitated.
After thinking it over, she realized being too proactive might make her seem desperate. After all, she had already obtained Li Hongmei's contact information and could reach out later.
Zhang Huizhi returned to her seat with her mind racing about the so-called thirty billion big project. She had overheard Li Hongmei's entire conversation behind the pillar earlier and felt certain there was potential here! If she hadn't happened to run into this wealthy pair at the sales office today, she might never have encountered such an opportunity in her lifetime!
