Chapter 217: Preparing to Invest in Jingdong Mall! (Part 1/5)

After hanging up the phone, Tang Feng thought for a moment and sent a text message to Su Xiaoli.

Less than a minute after the message was sent, Su Xiaoli’s call came directly.

“Brother Feng! Do you miss me?” Su Xiaoli asked with a laugh.

“What do you think?” Tang Feng countered.

“I miss you too!” Su Xiaoli responded.

“When are you coming back?” Tang Feng asked.

“We booked tickets for seven o’clock tonight! We’ll probably get home by eleven,” Su Xiaoli answered.

“Send me a message when you’re on the plane! I’ll come to pick you up,” Tang Feng offered proactively.

“No need,” Su Xiaoli shook her head, saying, “We can take a taxi back!”

“That won’t do! I must come to pick you up!” Tang Feng insisted firmly.

“Okay then! After we board the plane, I’ll send you a message,” Su Xiaoli had no choice but to agree.

“Have you eaten yet?” Tang Feng asked.

“Not yet. We’ll eat in a bit,” Su Xiaoli replied.

“Go eat! I’m going to visit Yi Hang and have dinner with him,” Tang Feng said.

“Okay! You go ahead and get busy!” Su Xiaoli said.

The call ended.

“Xiaoli, I’m really envious of you two!” Professor Li Ping, standing by, couldn’t help but sigh.

“We’re just making a phone call; there’s nothing to be envious of,” Su Xiaoli laughed.

“At least you two think of each other. Since I left home, I haven’t received a single call or text message from my other half,” Professor Li Ping’s mouth revealed a bitter smile.

Su Xiaoli didn’t know what to say for a moment.

Just then, a man dressed in a suit, looking gentle and elegant, approached them!

“Professor Li!” the man greeted.

“Director Xiu!” Professor Li Ping responded.

“Your presentation at this financial forum was truly enlightening,” the man said.

“You flatter me.”

“Professor Li, if I may ask, who is this beside you?” the man’s gaze fell on Su Xiaoli.

“She’s my student. I took this opportunity to bring her out for some learning,” Professor Li Ping answered.

“Does that mean she is a student at Jingcheng University?” the man seemed surprised.

“Yes,” Professor Li Ping nodded, saying, “She is a freshman majoring in finance at our school.”

“No wonder she looks so young! Miss, could we exchange contact information? I think you could work for my company after you graduate. My company needs talented individuals like you,” the man said while taking out his phone.

“Let’s not. I already have my own company and don’t plan on working anywhere else,” Su Xiaoli declined politely.

“Ah?” the man was obviously taken aback.

“Director Xiu! You may not know this, but my student has already started her own business! She has established an investment company!” Professor Li Ping quickly explained.

“No way? So young and already established an investment company? Impressive!” the man’s eyes lit up.

“I mainly hope to apply what I’ve learned! And with China’s economy developing so well, opportunities are everywhere! Naturally, I don’t want to miss out,” Su Xiaoli said with a slight smile.

“However, investment is a very professional matter! It’s not something that can be done with just capital,” the man reminded Su Xiaoli.

“I believe my professional abilities are up to par. Director Xiu, do you have anything else? If not, we need to go have our meal,” Su Xiaoli didn’t give the man any face.

“Professor Li, Miss Su, how about this? I’d like to invite you both to lunch, hoping you can give me this opportunity. We can have a good chat, and who knows, there might be a chance for cooperation,” the man offered.

“We’ll pass on lunch. Director Xiu, if you have any suitable projects, you can call me. I can help connect you with others,” Professor Li Ping replied.

Seeing her say this in front of so many people, the man naturally didn’t dare to say more.

Otherwise, it wouldn’t be good for him if the word got out.

He glanced at Su Xiaoli, then turned and left.

“Professor Li! I’m really sorry! I seem to have caused you unnecessary trouble,” Su Xiaoli said apologetically.

“What are you talking about! It was he who came to bother us! There’s no need to be polite with such people,” Professor Li Ping comforted Su Xiaoli.

Having taught for so many years and seen countless wealthy people,

She knew exactly what Director Xiu was thinking!

He was simply attracted to Su Xiaoli’s beauty!

He wanted to get to know Su Xiaoli better to see if he could win her over!

Unfortunately, Director Xiu chose the wrong person!

Su Xiaoli is not just any girl!

She is the most outstanding student in the history of the Finance Department at Jingcheng University!

Otherwise, she wouldn’t hold Su Xiaoli in such high regard!

Nor would she bring her to various high-profile conferences!

She genuinely hoped Su Xiaoli could carry on her mantle and even surpass her!

Becoming the most formidable financial expert in China and perhaps the world!

So, she absolutely wouldn’t allow anyone to have designs on Su Xiaoli!

Of course, she was well aware that Su Xiaoli only had eyes for one person!

And that was Tang Feng!

No matter how outstanding other men were, they couldn’t catch Su Xiaoli’s eye!

Let alone, Tang Feng was the most outstanding man in the world!

If she were Su Xiaoli, she would definitely stick with Tang Feng without hesitation!

Other men, she probably wouldn’t even bother to look at them!

Unfortunately, there’s only one Tang Feng in this world!

And Tang Feng’s eyes also only had Su Xiaoli in them!

Even if she were twenty years younger, she wouldn’t stand a chance!

“Professor Li, is it that many wealthy men are like this? Seeing a beautiful girl and wanting to take advantage?” Su Xiaoli hesitated for a moment but eventually spoke up.

“Yes,” Professor Li Ping nodded, saying, “To be precise, most men are like this. It’s just that some men don’t have money, so even if they have the desire, they can’t do anything.”

“Do some girls choose to be with them?” Su Xiaoli asked.

“Definitely. After all, faced with the temptation of money, many girls can’t resist. Especially when the amount of money reaches an irresistible level,” Professor Li Ping nodded.

“In that case, doesn’t it mean the more beautiful a girl is, the more she should make herself wealthy? Otherwise, she can only sell her soul for money,” Su Xiaoli expressed her opinion.

“You’re absolutely right! Having enough wealth indeed allows one to maintain an independent personality,” Professor Li Ping agreed wholeheartedly.
