As a seasoned player in the business world, he excelled at reading people and leveraging information gaps for profit. I deliberately slowed my pace, weaving through the crowd, and seemingly by chance, my gaze met Wang Qiang's.
I smiled slightly, a smile that conveyed both the warmth of an old acquaintance and a hint of something more subtle.
"Mr. Wang, what a coincidence to run into you here." My voice was soft and magnetic as I extended my hand to shake his.
Wang Qiang was momentarily taken aback, but quickly regained his composure; a flicker of surprise crossed his eyes, soon replaced by enthusiasm.
"Ah, Miss Ye, it’s been a long time! You’re looking more beautiful than ever," he said while firmly shaking my hand, as if trying to glean something from the contact.
I skillfully evaded Wang Qiang's overly familiar touch and redirected the conversation.
"Mr. Wang, I heard you’ve been paying attention to the 'Star Technology' project recently? I’ve heard some whispers about it; they say the prospects are quite promising."
Wang Qiang's eyes lit up at this, as if he had found a kindred spirit.
"Yes, Miss Ye, you’re well-informed. I am indeed very interested in this project, but the risks are considerable, and I’m hesitating about whether to invest."
Ye Lan chuckled inwardly while maintaining a composed exterior.
"Risk and opportunity go hand in hand, Mr. Wang. I happen to have some insider information; I’ve heard that there is strong technical support and market resources backing this project. If it succeeds, the returns could be substantial."
Upon hearing this, Wang Qiang became even more intrigued; he leaned closer to Ye Lan and lowered his voice, asking, "Oh? Could you share a bit more, Miss Ye?"
I feigned mystery with a smile and replied softly, "Well, of course. However, with so many people around, it might be better for us to find a quieter place to discuss this in detail."
Wang Qiang nodded eagerly; we exchanged smiles as if we had reached some unspoken agreement.
I then led Wang Qiang to a private booth that Lu Chen had arranged in advance.
The booth was cozy and elegantly decorated, with the city skyline visible outside—stars twinkling against the night sky complemented the ambiance within.
Once seated, I began introducing Wang Qiang to the various advantages of the 'Star Technology' project while cleverly hinting that I was also interested in investing but lacked sufficient funds.
My words were filled with allure and anticipation, making it nearly impossible for Wang Qiang to resist.
Wang Qiang was completely captivated by my rhetoric; he began envisioning himself as a major winner in this project, reaping both fame and fortune.
Yet he overlooked the occasional glint of coldness in my eyes—the fire of revenge was burning within me.
As our conversation deepened, Wang Qiang was thoroughly moved by my "sincerity," eagerly wanting to learn more details and even starting to inquire about how he could join the project.
I smiled slightly, already formulating my plans in my mind.
"Mr. Wang, rest assured that I will organize the relevant materials for you as soon as possible. However, this project requires confidentiality; we should find a more suitable time for a detailed discussion."
Wang Qiang nodded repeatedly, eagerly anticipating the "internal materials." The next day, I sent him the forged data and documents related to Star Technology. Blinded by greed, he invested a substantial amount of money and resources without hesitation.
As Wang Qiang became deeply entrenched in the project, unable to extricate himself, I began to gradually expose its fraudulent nature. At the same time, I leveraged my family's influence in the business world to unite other investors and suppliers against him, ensuring that every penny he invested in the project went to waste.
In the end, Wang Qiang not only failed to gain any profits from this venture but also fell into a financial crisis due to his massive investment losses. His reputation suffered as a result, making it difficult for him to establish himself in the industry.
Meanwhile, I watched from the sidelines, filled with a sense of satisfaction from my revenge.
