"You came to find me, I believe Junxue has already contacted you!"
Ye Ming's eyes flickered slightly as he asked.
"Yes!"
Li Zhirou chuckled, "Miss Fang is a very special person! And while talking to her, I felt very... cordial!"
Cordial!
Hearing this word used to describe her, Ye Ming's expression was somewhat unnatural.
After all, Fang Junxue was usually very cold in her interactions with outsiders, giving people a sense of being unapproachable.
Otherwise, how did she get the title of "Queen" in the past?
Therefore, interacting with her could not be associated with the word "cordial" at all.
Of course, this naturally referred to her attitude towards outsiders. For Ye Ming, Nangong Qianyu, and others, it was a different story.
But hearing this word from Li Zhirou's mouth, Ye Ming, after careful consideration, let go of his unease.
This should be what they call "like attracts like"... right!
"How about it! With the two of you working together, how long will it take to take down Future Technology?" Ye Ming asked with interest.
Take down Future Technology?
Was this serious?
That was the second-ranked enterprise on China's top enterprise list!
But what was even more surprising was that Li Zhirou remained very calm after hearing this. There wasn't even a ripple in her eyes.
"Mr. Ye! Do you know who raised Future Technology to its current position?"
Li Zhirou countered.
Who raised it to its current position?
"Could it be..."
Hearing this, Ye Ming's eyes narrowed, and he looked up and down at the beautiful woman in front of him, a terrible guess forming in his mind.
Facing Ye Ming's somewhat intense gaze, Li Zhirou met it calmly and even teased him, "Mr. Ye, looking at me like this, is there anything on this old and faded body of mine that can attract you?"
Hmm?
Hearing Li Zhirou say such ambiguous words, a devilishly charming smile appeared on the corner of Ye Ming's lips. "Madam, don't underestimate yourself! Old and faded..." This time, Ye Ming looked "carefully" again and said, "This phrase does not apply to you!"
This statement was true.
There were indeed few traces of time passing on Li Zhirou. Whether it was her skin's condition or the fullness of her figure, it was no less than that of young girls today.
Especially the mature charm she exuded and the intellectual grace that young girls lacked, which was enough to arouse a man's primal desires.
Therefore, Ye Ming was not wrong when he said she was underestimating herself.
"Mr. Ye, is it really appropriate to say that?"
Li Zhirou looked at Du Yuemian beside them and chuckled, "Miss Yuemian is still here?"
Du Yuemian naturally heard their conversation.
"It's alright! Whatever my young master wants to do, Yuemian will support!" Although she said so, she tightened her grip on Ye Ming's arm.
Was this... asserting her claim?
"Oh!"
Hearing this, Li Zhirou nodded. "It's a blessing for Mr. Ye to have a companion as understanding as Miss Yuemian."
Ye Ming naturally agreed with this statement.
He put his arm around Du Yuemian's waist, completely disregarding Li Zhirou's feelings, and showed affection in front of her. "Of course! I think so too!"
Such intimate behavior also made our Miss Yuemian's heart beat a little faster.
"Alright! Let's get back to the main topic!"
Ye Ming paused and said, "From your words just now, can I understand that you are the one who brought Future Technology to its current status?"
Li Zhirou did not deny this. "After our last meeting, Mr. Ye should know that I have that ability."
I have that ability!
This was Li Zhirou's rightful confidence!
After all, Li Zhirou was born into the Kyoto Li clan.
"Indeed! I believe that!"
Ye Ming said truthfully.
"Then, returning to your original question, I presume there is no need for me to answer!" Li Zhirou looked up at the night sky, her tone unusually solemn. "Mr. Ye also understands that our goal has never been Future Technology."
"Taking down Future Technology is just the simplest first step."
What she, Li Zhirou, intended to do could not be achieved easily.
But if outsiders heard this, they would probably be stunned!
Taking down Future Technology!
Easy!
What kind of confidence did one possess to utter such an arrogant statement?
"You want revenge?"
Ye Ming asked directly.
"No! This is not revenge!"
Li Zhirou withdrew her gaze, the hint of solemnity from before dissipating, replaced by sharpness and ruthlessness. "What I want to achieve is simply to pull those people down from their self-proclaimed noble status!"
At this moment, Li Zhirou finally revealed her claws.
And Ye Ming and Du Yuemian were witnesses.
"Hahaha! Very good! You really didn't disappoint me!" Hearing this, Ye Ming laughed.
And he laughed with great excitement.
Du Yuemian, upon hearing this laughter, inexplicably glanced at Li Zhirou again, lost in thought.
"When I was in Kyoto, I said that if you show your value, I will help you."
Ye Ming tore open a small spatial rift in front of Li Zhirou and reached his hand in.
Then, he took out a light sphere.
The light sphere in his hand was exactly the same as the one in Du Guidao's hand.
On the other hand, Li Zhirou remained very calm after witnessing Ye Ming's strange methods.
Although astonished, she was not surprised!
"This is for you!"
Ye Ming handed the light sphere to her. "Once you understand the information within, I believe you won't need me to remind you of anything!"
Looking at the light sphere in her hand, even though Li Zhirou could not feel anything, her intuition told her that what she held would completely change her destiny.
"Thank you, Mr. Ye!"
Putting away the light sphere, Li Zhirou bowed.
This was from the bottom of her heart.
No one knew how many nights the resentment and unwillingness suppressed in her heart had tormented her.
Now, she finally had the qualification to draw her sword against those people.
"No! You don't need to thank me! This is a reflection of your value!" Ye Ming looked at her and promised, "After things are settled, if everything goes smoothly, I will consider giving you a greater opportunity!"
A greater opportunity?
What could that be?
"Since Mr. Ye says so, it is truly something to look forward to!" Li Zhirou's mood seemed exceptionally good at this moment.
To the extent that her tone carried a hint of a young woman's charm.
However, as a man, Ye Ming could hardly notice such a change.
"Alright! I should be going now!"
Ye Ming extended his hand and smiled, "May our cooperation be pleasant!"
In response, Li Zhirou naturally extended her hand, also with a smile, "I am very much looking forward to our next meeting."
After holding hands for about three seconds, they both tacitly let go.
Finally, Ye Ming reminded her again, "By the way! Don't forget about the matter in Chaoge!"
"Of course I remember!"
A moment later, watching the pair of figures walking away hand in hand, Li Zhirou quietly withdrew her gaze.
Turning around, she left only a long sigh in the lonely night sky.
