Trillionaire's Slice of Life-Chapter 317 - 224 Guests of the Li Family in Jiangnan

Chapter 317: Chapter 224 Guests of the Li Family in Jiangnan

“Mr. Chu, rest assured, I will definitely secure the World Trade Tower for you. Wait for my good news!”

In the courtyard filled with a classical ambiance, where dense bamboo thickets surrounded a quiet path, Dong Xun’er respectfully ended the call with her palm slightly sweaty. Only then did she allow herself a slight sigh of relief.

She was not in the magic city, but in the heart of Suzhou City, atop the island of the “Twin Lakes” of Jinji Lake and Dushu Lake, in a place called “Peach Blossom Land.”

This was a luxury Suzhou mansion valued at a staggering 154 million US dollars, equivalent to 1.052 billion RMB!

Compared to Chu Mo’s Emperor’s Mansion Villa Number One, which was worth seven billion, this top-tier luxury mansion was half as expensive again.

The mansion covered 6,731.37 square meters of land, had 32 south-facing bedrooms, 32 bathrooms, and two thousand square meters of front and rear courtyards!

And there stood Dong Xun’er, in the bamboo-rich courtyard, where she made this call. However, this call granted her immense authority, for she would now meet with the Jiangnan Li family as Mr. Chu of the magic city’s representative.

“It’s beautiful here, isn’t it? The first time I came here with my father five years ago, I was captivated by this bamboo grove. Oh, and you haven’t yet seen the lakes here—the small bridges and flowing water of Jinji Lake, the picturesque scenery of Dushu Lake, are rare beauties.”

The refreshing voice of Miss Lin of the Lin family carried over from afar.

At the moment, Lin Ling’er wore a white top with a touch of purple and a light purple short skirt that fluttered in the wind. Her beautiful chestnut curls danced in the breeze, her cherry-blossom-like lips slightly pursed, and her deep, bright eyes, inscrutable.

She wore white crystal earrings with a hint of pink and a W pendant bracelet on her hand that sparkled dazzlingly. Lin Ling’er walked leisurely into the bamboo forest, took a deep breath, and immediately felt her heart and lungs filled with the fresh and slightly humid air!

“Peach Blossom Land was built by the national artisans of Xiangjiang Club, modeled after Suzhou gardens! Do you know of the Xiangjiang Club?”

As Lin Ling’er’s words fell.

Pocketing her phone, Dong Xun’er nodded slightly. She gazed at the beaming Miss Lin of the Lin family before her, radiant as the most precious gem, feelings of envy flickering through her heart. Dong recognized the pink crystal pendant that Lin Ling’er wore—it was the limited-edition baoshi earrings by Chanel with only three pairs worldwide, one pair priced at 790,000 RMB.

It was equivalent to half a year’s salary for Dong Xun’er.

She redirected her gaze towards the surrounding garden and nodded, saying,

“Sister Ling’er must be referring to the Xiangjiang Club that has been listed as part of Huá Country’s ‘Intangible Cultural Heritage?'”

Lin Ling’er nodded. Strictly speaking in terms of age, she was actually a year younger than Dong Xun’er, but in terms of status, she was leagues above the latter. Dong Xun’er addressed her as ‘sister,’ and Lin Ling’er felt no discomfort at all.

Miss Lin of the Lin family smiled with a hint of nostalgia in her voice,

“The Xiangjiang Club has a history of over 500 years. This mansion is a creation of theirs, an interior design of great historical and cultural value, paired with modern landscaping art. That’s why it’s also known as the ‘Eastern treasure,’ a miniature reflection of Huá Country’s five thousand years of civilization!

Pavilions, terraces, and open halls—every brick and tile, every step presenting a scene, each corner reflects meticulous care and the visual impact of a Huá Country classical garden’s essence!”

Dong Xun’er nodded slightly; she indeed loved the mansion but the price of several billion was beyond her reach. It could only be enjoyed by the likes of the Jiangnan Li family, whose assets exceeded a trillion.

“Sister Ling’er, what did the Li family say?”

No matter how beautiful the scenery, she was just a visitor here. Dong Xun’er clearly understood her purpose for coming—to acquire the tallest building in the magic city from the Jiangnan Li family. If she couldn’t, her role as a so-called representative would be a joke.

The lady in purple of the Lin family heaved a soft sigh, a hint of regret in her clear voice,

“The Family Head of the Li family, Li Xiaoyao, has gone out of town to attend a bidding conference, leaving only the proxy representative, Li Longfei. Li Longfei, the younger brother of Family Head Li Xiaoyao, controls many of the Li family’s industries. It seems that if we want to meet with the Family Head of the Li family, we must first get past this proxy,”

Dong Xun’er frowned slightly. Her purpose in coming here was to meet with the Family Head of the Li family, as a proxy simply could not decide the fate of the World Trade Tower in the magic capital.

Turning her gaze to the person beside her, her greatest ally, Dong Xun’er softly said,

“Aren’t the Lin family and the Li family on good terms for generations? Sister Ling’er, since you’re personally here, the Li family should greet us with the utmost etiquette, right?”

Upon hearing this, the young miss of the Lin family couldn’t help but smile wryly and shake her head. As the pink pendant on her earlobe swayed gently, Lin Ling’er sighed and said,

“I’m just the young miss of the Lin family. Frankly, I don’t represent the entire Lin family. If my brother, the current Family Head, had come in person, then the Family Head of the Li family, Li Xiaoyao, would certainly have received him personally. However, with my status, I am only on par with the proxy representative Li Longfei, so it’s natural that Li Longfei would be the one to meet me. It’s the rule, much like if you were to come alone, you might not even meet the proxy, and at most a manager from the Li family would send you away.

Of course, if your master, Mr. Chu, were here personally, Li Xiaoyao would definitely make an appearance. To put it plainly, you and I are not at a high enough level. Only when we reach that level will everything fall into place naturally.”

Dong Xun’er looked down slightly. She had originally thought that by convincing the young miss of the Lin family to accompany her, she naturally would be able to meet with the Family Head of the Li family, Li Xiaoyao. Then, leveraging Mr. Chu’s influence and the favor of the Lin family, she had a good chance of securing the Jinmao Mansion in the magic capital.

Now, however, she realized she had oversimplified everything.

Even though she had gone to great lengths to connect with the Lin family of the magic capital, she still didn’t have a strong enough bargaining chip to negotiate with the Li family of Jiangnan. Negotiating with a proxy for the Li family would simply be a waste of time and yield no results.

Dong Xun’er clenched her fair fists tightly, but a strange light flashed in her eyes.

Giving up just like that definitely wasn’t her style. She had worked hard to get to this point, to acquire the three tallest buildings in the magic capital, and then to become a top tycoon worth hundreds of billions, making her a worthy match to sit across from these top wealthy families. Otherwise, with her current status and position, she was just a negligible pawn in others’ eyes, an existence that could be dismissed by anyone the family sent.

“So, shall we go meet this Li family proxy representative?”

Lin Ling’er’s lips curled slightly upward. She had just met Dong Xun’er the previous night and was indeed very interested in this woman with boundless ambition.

Having witnessed the resources that Chu Mo had displayed, Lin Ling’er was eager to establish a good relationship with him but lamented the lack of leverage. The woman before her was Lin Ling’er’s investment target.

If Dong Xun’er could rise in status through this affair and gain the trust of Mr. Chu, naturally, Lin Ling’er would be able to build a favorable relationship with Mr. Chu through her. That was the very reason why Lin Ling’er decided to help her actively and even pulled her own connections and favors to accompany her to Jiangnan.

Otherwise, with Lin Ling’er’s status and position, how could she possibly care about a mere general manager of the magic capital’s financial tower.

Even Zhan Bingxue, the chairman of the magic capital’s financial tower, had to be polite in Lin Ling’er’s presence, let alone a slight Dong Xun’er.

However, correspondingly, Dong Xun’er was equally using the other party. The two could be described as partners or as mutually exploiting each other.

Taking a deep breath, Dong Xun’er’s eyes regained their sparkle and with a smile on her lips, and her face relaxed and confident, she regained the aura of a powerful woman, then said softly,

“Let’s go, Sister Ling’er, let’s meet this proxy representative of the Li family in Jiangnan.”

The two women, each with their own plans, exchanged a smile and then gracefully made their way towards the beautifully landscaped courtyard.

The Li family of Jiangnan, one of Hua Country’s top ten families, a colossal entity with nearly a trillion in assets, was welcoming two special guests today.

One was the young miss of the Lin family from the magic capital!

One was the proxy representative of Mr. Chu from the magic capital!
