"Bullsh * t, how can there be such a profitable trade?"
Li Rui said with a strange expression, "How am I bullsh * tting? My life's motto is to treat people with sincerity. Since you asked me, of course I have to tell you the truth. I earn so much from every trade, and all the money is deposited in the Swiss bank. Even though the interest rate of the Swiss bank is negative, I like its security and confidentiality, so I don't feel bad about paying a few million US dollars in management fees every year. "
Most of the people in the country had heard of the name of the Swiss bank, and most of them would think that the Swiss bank referred to the "Swiss (National) Bank", just like the "Bank of China". Little did they know that the Swiss bank referred to not only the Swiss Banking Group, but also more than 300 banks of all sizes in Switzerland.
Because of his family background and his overseas studies, Li Rui had some understanding of the Swiss bank. So when he heard Li Rui mention the Swiss bank, he didn't think that there were two different concepts. Instead, he believed Li Rui's words. After all, there weren't many people in the country who could say the name of the Swiss bank. Seeing that he couldn't beat Li Rui in terms of education, work, and achievements, he became angrier and angrier. He didn't care about his face anymore and sneered, "You're already so outstanding, why would you come to this kind of banquet?"
Mu Shuang didn't wait for Li Rui to answer and interrupted coldly, "He didn't want to come at first, but I asked him to come and keep me company. Why, do you have a problem with that?"
Li Zheng smiled sinisterly and said, "Miss Mu, you can stop joking around. Who can't tell that you're looking for him to put on a show? I actually admire you a lot. Why don't we find a quiet place to have a good talk? That way, we won't let down your cousin's good intentions. What do you think? "
Mu Shuang smiled sweetly and said, "My cousin is only introducing ordinary friends to me. If I'm willing, I'll talk more. If not, I won't. How can I let down his good intentions?"
Li Zheng was so angry that his face was distorted. He said angrily, "Miss Mu, in your eyes, am I just an ordinary person? My father is Li Dongqi, the third-ranked leader in the city. He will be promoted to the position of mayor in the next term. That is a high-ranking deputy minister. If you marry me, it will be a situation where the strong work together. Your father's Qi Tian Corporation will become even bigger, and his wealth will be even more shocking. Your life will also be even more glorious and resplendent. Think about it carefully. "
Mu Shuang smiled coldly and was about to speak when Li Zheng added, "Sky Corporation's current scale. In fact, there's still a lot of room for development. If the Li family is willing, we can double the Sky Corporation's Corporation's. If the Li is willing, we can Corporation can double its scale Corporation's company. If the Li family is, we, t, we can make it 'Corporation's.. company't we can make the company's Sky Corporation's Corporation's,,, company't t t't it. Which of the domestic enterprises didn't rely on exploiting loopholes in the law to grow? .. n't Sky be't! ".." t he't t t t t.
Mu Shuang's pretty face was gloomy. "Are you threatening me?" she asked coldly.
Li Zheng smiled sinisterly and said, "You can take it as a threat or an opportunity. It depends on what you choose. Also, I want to remind you that we're not in the same class. I'm higher than you, so I'm worthy of you. You're not worthy of me. It's your honor that I'm inviting you to be my partner. You should cherish this opportunity. "
Mu Shuang was so angry that her lips trembled. She calmed down after a while. She smiled faintly and took the glass of wine from Li Rui's hand. She splashed it on Li Zheng's face. Li Zheng was caught off guard and was splashed. His face was instantly covered in wine. The wine flowed down his chin and onto his clothes. His snow-white shirt quickly became dirty and ugly.
The guests around them all noticed this scene. Their expressions changed drastically as they looked over. The three people in the hall instantly became the focus of everyone's attention.
Mu Shuang ignored the gazes of the outsiders and said arrogantly, "You should be glad that we're in the banquet hall. If we were outside, I would've kicked you down the mountain. How can there be scum like you in this world? "After saying that, she snorted angrily and pulled Li Rui to the depths of the hall.
Li Zheng was in a sorry state after drinking half a glass of wine. Not only was his face and clothes wet, but his skin was also extremely uncomfortable. Coupled with the attention of a bystander, he was as embarrassed as a street rat. He stared at Mu Shuang and Li Rui's backs with resentment. He gritted his teeth and swore in his heart, "Those two b * tches, if I don't get my revenge tonight, I won't take this surname anymore!"
Li Rui and Mu Shuang walked to the depths of the banquet hall and stopped at a corner near the stage. Li Rui said with some worry, "I've seen a lot of second-generation officials like Li Zheng. They're all arrogant and vengeful. You just splashed wine on his face in public. He definitely won't let it go. You have to be careful of his revenge. When you go back, remind your father to be careful. This kind of scum is capable of doing anything."
Mu Shuang sneered and said, "Do you think I'm afraid of him? He can use whatever means he has. If I'm afraid, he's not the descendant of Lord Mu. "
Her words were full of the underworld aura, but it added a bit of chivalry to her, made her character fuller, and made her more beautiful. Li Rui was secretly impressed and said, "That's true, but there's no harm in being careful."
Mu Shuang thought of his bragging just now and couldn't help but laugh. She said, "When did you become a doctoral student at the University of Pennsylvania? When I heard your fluent answer just now, I really thought you graduated from there. "
Li Rui smiled and waved his hand. He said, "I've only been to Philadelphia once and heard my sister-in-law mention it. I didn't know it was one of the Ivy League schools. If Li Zheng had asked me where the door of the University of Pennsylvania opened, I would have been in a difficult position. "
As a Southerner, Mu Shuang didn't understand the meaning of the northern saying. She asked curiously, "What does it mean to be in a difficult position?"
Just when Li Rui was about to explain to her, the sound of a microphone came from the stage. It seemed like someone was trying it out, which meant that the engagement ceremony was about to begin. Everyone in the hall immediately stopped talking and looked at the stage. Li Rui and Mu Shuang also stopped talking and turned to look.
There were already two people on the stage. A young man, who was a staff member of the manor, stood by the stage, and a middle-aged man stood in the middle of the stage with a microphone in his hand. With a smile on his face, he said in a deep voice, "Leaders, guests, gentlemen, ladies, and friends, thank you again and welcome you to Mr. Peng Shaolong's engagement ceremony. I now announce that the engagement ceremony has officially begun! "After he finished speaking, he took the lead and applauded.
The applause of the emcee spurred the enthusiasm of the guests. Soon, the hall was filled with applause and cheers. The atmosphere was instantly raised to the peak.
"Peng Shaolong is my cousin!" Mu Shuang introduced him to Li Rui in a timely manner.
Li Rui already knew Peng Shaolong, but he only knew his name now. Peng Shaolong was about the same age as him. He was neither tall nor fat, and was very well-proportioned. He had short hair, but his hairstyle was very fashionable. His face was thin, and although he wasn't handsome, he was still very good-looking. He had a small mustache on his upper lip, which set off a mature and dignified temperament. Dressed in a suit and leather shoes, he was also a rather attractive handsome man.
At the moment, as the male lead of tonight's banquet, he was standing at a small door below the stage and whispering to someone. He was probably confirming the details of the engagement ceremony. His fiancée, the female lead of tonight's ceremony, had yet to appear. She was probably resting in a room behind the small door. Usually, there would be a separate lounge or changing room in the banquet hall.
Li Rui asked in a low voice, "Is your cousin born in a wealthy or official family?"
The reason why he asked this was because ordinary people would never have the opportunity to know the second generation of a high-ranking official like Li Zheng. If Peng Shaolong could know Li Zheng, he must belong to a certain social class.
Mu Shuang shook her head and said, "His family is neither wealthy nor official. It can only be considered a well-off family. However, he is very hardworking. He has been very hardworking since he was very young. When he grew up, he showed great talent in art and achieved remarkable results in the field of painting and calligraphy. I heard that he is now the vice president of some association in the city and the secretary general of some association in the province.
He is doing very well. "Li Rui was even more puzzled after hearing this. These so-called official titles in the art association were all fake. Many of them couldn't even be considered as public institutions. How did Peng Shaolong get to know the son of a city leader?
"Let us solemnly welcome the congratulatory speeches from the provincial and municipal leaders! First, let us invite the researcher of the provincial literature and history research institute, the vice president of the association of social organizations, the vice president of the Calligraphy and Painting Association, the vice president of the Calligraphy and Painting Research Association, Song … "
When Li Rui heard the emcee announce the title of the first speaker on stage, he almost couldn't hold back his laughter. He quickly lowered his head to hide his smile. Mu Shuang noticed the smile at the corner of his mouth and curiously asked him in a low voice, "What are you laughing at?"
"Nothing. This leader has a lot of titles and a powerful background. He is really amazing!"
Mu Shuang thought that he was speaking the truth. She nodded and said, "My cousin is really amazing to know such a powerful leader."
Li Ruixin said, "Silly girl, can't you tell that I am being sarcastic? Although this leader has a lot of titles and is very powerful, in reality, they are all fake. His real power can't even be compared to Li Zheng's father's secretary."
At this moment, the emcee had already led the guests to applaud enthusiastically. The leader with the surname Song was already standing below the stage. However, he didn't go on stage. Instead, he was tugging at a man in his forties. It seemed that he wanted that man to go on stage first to speak.
