Chapter 122: Dinner Invitation - Li Fuzhen to Dragon Country

Su Yan had mentioned to Li Fuzhen before that he intended to short Lotte.

But at the time, Li Fuzhen had found it a bit hard to believe.

How could Su Yan, at such a young age, plan to take down a giant like Lotte?

After all, she herself, as the eldest daughter of the Samsung chaebol, knew better than anyone the difficulty of challenging a figure like Xing Hao.

But now...

Lotte had taken a devastating hit, with losses that were almost impossible to quantify.

Meanwhile, Su Yan had weathered the storm and walked away with an astronomical profit of 920 billion yuan through short selling.

Just the thought of it was astonishing.

Su Yan really was a formidable young man.

"This time, I also have to thank Miss Li Fuzhen for helping fan the flames of public opinion against Lotte in the Cold Country."

As Lotte's home ground, it would've been easy for the company to suppress the negative news.

But clearly...

Li Fuzhen had lent a helping hand.

Su Yan had made over 500 million from this operation, and 300 million of that was thanks to Li Fuzhen's assistance.

"Let's have dinner tonight," Su Yan suggested. "I need to thank Miss Li properly."

Before leaving the Cold Country, Su Yan felt it was important to solidify his relationship with Li Fuzhen.

This would pave the way for deeper collaborations in the future.

And if he could persuade her to visit the Dragon Kingdom, that would be even better.

"Alright, Mr. Su. Let's meet tonight. I'll send someone to pick you up."

From the side, Ye Manman, who had been watching Su Yan, didn't understand what they were discussing, but her eyes sparkled with admiration.

The way Su Yan spoke so fluently about business in such a casual manner was something only he could do.

Besides...

How many 18-year-olds could achieve what he had?

"Xiaoyan, are you off to discuss business?" Ye Manman asked sweetly.

"Yeah, Aunt Ye. You can rest up here. We'll be heading back to China tomorrow."

Ye Manman's beautiful eyes softened in contentment. These past few days had been deeply fulfilling for her, and she had grown even more impressed with Su Yan's limitless abilities.

"Alright, Xiaoyan. Auntie will wait for you here," she said with a playful smile.

Ye Manman knew...

Tonight might be her last good opportunity on this trip to the Cold Country. If she didn't seize it now, who knew when the next chance would come?

I might have to break out two pairs of black stockings tonight, she thought mischievously.

Before long, a car arrived downstairs at Su Yan's hotel. Li Fuzhen had come to pick him up.

As soon as he got into the car, he noticed Li Fuzhen sitting in the back, looking as poised and composed as ever.

When she saw Su Yan approach, Li Fuzhen couldn't help but feel a growing attraction toward this man, twenty years her junior.

He's so handsome... she thought, though a hint of regret crossed her mind.

If only the age gap wasn't so wide... If we were closer in age, marrying him would be quite something.

"I really can't figure out Mr. Su's methods," Li Fuzhen said with a light chuckle as they exchanged polite conversation on the way to their dinner.

---

Once they arrived at the high-end restaurant Li Fuzhen had chosen, the two of them sat across from each other.

Su Yan decided to get straight to the point.

"Miss Li Fuzhen, I'm curious—what are your thoughts on the Dragon Kingdom?"

Without hesitation, Li Fuzhen replied, "The Dragon Kingdom is a vast and rich country, with an incredibly long history, deep culture, and beautiful traditions."

"Sometimes, I even find myself fantasizing about being born there."

"Even though I'm a princess in the chaebol family here in the Cold Country... there are so many limitations."

"Even my father, Lee Jianxi, lacks true standing in the eyes of the Americans."

Su Yan nodded thoughtfully. He had no patience for people like Xing Hao who looked down on the Dragon Kingdom. That's why he was naturally inclined to appreciate someone like Li Fuzhen, who clearly held the Dragon Kingdom in high regard.

"Well, I wonder if Miss Li would be interested in visiting the Dragon Kingdom sometime in the future."

"It'd be my pleasure to take you on a tour of our majestic rivers and mountains."

Li Fuzhen was taken aback.

She hadn't expected...

Su Yan to actually invite her to the Dragon Kingdom.

"Mr. Su, do you really wish for me to visit the Dragon Kingdom?" she asked, her voice filled with surprise.
