Li Fuzhen collected her thoughts and sat upright, pretending to be listening, because she knew that Zhou Jing had not finished what she had just said.
"Yeah." Zhou Jing felt relieved when he saw that Li Fuzhen was back to normal.
Yes, he does have something to say. Now that Li Fuzhen has made his attitude clear, he has to respond to it.
"Nuna, first of all, thank you very much for your personal favor and trust in me, but I have no intention of leaving Sangang. There is no future now and there will be no future, so Miane."
"Kenchana, Xiaojing, you don't have to be burdened. My invitation is valid for a long time. Let's think about it carefully later."
Unsurprisingly, Li Fuzhen never thought that Zhou Jing would gladly accept her offer of an olive branch, and Zhou Jing's reminder was not unreasonable.
If the noise made by pulling him over at this time was too great, it would definitely arouse the vigilance of Li Zaiyong and his sister Li Xuxian. After all, everyone in the business world knew that Li Fuzhen had an unusual relationship with him.
However, Li Fuzhen was also unwilling to give up on pursuing Samsung Heavy Industries, so as soon as she finished speaking, a trace of entanglement and disappointment flashed in her eyes.
Alas, this abnormality was quickly caught by Zhou Jing. He sighed silently, feeling that he couldn't bear it after all.
Although he and Li Fuzhen had not known each other for a long time, they felt like old friends at first sight. He really regarded Li Fuzhen as his eldest sister.
But right now, he can only reject Li Fuzhen. He has no choice. As he said just now, he is not considering changing jobs from Sangang at all.
Secondly, he had no intention of getting involved in the dispute over Samsung's inheritance. This matter was too sensitive and would have a huge impact. Zhou Jing's special status could not allow him to get involved casually.
However, I believe it is okay to give a friendly reminder, because Zhou Jing discovered that Li Fuzhen was purely a fan of the authorities.
Samsung Heavy Industries, right? Zhou Jing understood Li Fuzhen's intention as soon as she opened her mouth, but he thought Li Fuzhen's thinking was too simple.
Controlling a giant heavy equipment manufacturing company is not easy. Zhou Jing was born in Sanshan Iron and Steel Co., so he doesn't know how complex it is, not to mention he is an airborne foreigner.
Furthermore, the operations of such enterprises are often affected by the international situation and cannot be reversed by human efforts, even if Zhou Jing is wearing the halo of pig's feet.
According to the current trend, Samsung Heavy Industries will be a hot potato for at least 3-5 years, and there is no need to wade into this muddy water.
So Li Fuzhen made a mistake in his focus. Zhou Jing picked up the tea cup and considered it for a while before suddenly asking Li Fuzhen,
"Nuna, under which name do you plan to participate in the Sunshine Bud Project?"
"Mo?" Li Fuzhen was confused by Zhou Jing's abrupt question.
Which name? It was just the Shilla Hotel or Everland. She never thought that Zhou Jing's next words would instantly make her pupils dilate.
"Haha, if I remember correctly, Samsung has two consortiums, the Welfare Foundation and the Cultural Foundation. Noona, don't you think either of the two is more suitable?"
After saying that, Zhou Jing continued to drink tea with a smile and said nothing, while Li Fuzhen's expression changed several times, obviously she was extremely uneasy inside.
Nonsense, I said earlier that she was too anxious, but the moment she took action, it was a vital point in her life. How could she not make Li Fuzhen inexplicably frightened?
Why? The story starts some time ago. One day, an insider broke the news that Samsung Group is studying a plan for Vice Chairman Lee Jae-yong to pay inheritance tax in the next five years.
Anyone with a discerning eye can tell at a glance who arranged this so-called insider, but regardless, it still aroused great concern from all walks of life in South Korea.
Lee Kun-hee currently owns shares in the group’s core Samsung Electronics and Samsung Life with a total value of about 11 trillion won. Based on the actual tax rate of 65% stipulated in South Korea’s current inheritance law and gift tax law, Lee Jae-yong will need to pay nearly 7 trillion won in inheritance in the future.
Tax.
In order to avoid a one-time payment, the legal team suggested to Lee Kun-hee that he could transfer his shares of Samsung Electronics to the Samsung Welfare and Cultural Foundation, and Lee Jae-yong happens to be the chairman of these two foundations.
Through this method, Lee Jae-yong can still fully control Samsung Group while paying less taxes, so public opinion was in an uproar when the news came out.
It’s true that they don’t care about food and fights. When Crystal and the others debuted, Lee Kun-hee was sentenced to three years in prison with five years of probation by the Seoul District Court for giving Lee Jae-yong Samsung SDS bonds with stock options in disguise.
Although Lee Kun-hee was pardoned by then-President Lee Myung-bak only four months later, the public began to examine the succession issue of the Samsung Empire for the first time, and this time was no exception.
The stock price plummeted in response, forcing Lee Jae-yong to come out to clarify, deny the existence of the plan, and announce his resignation as chairman of the two consortiums under dual pressure from public opinion and the board of directors.
Immediately afterwards, the issue of successor immediately caused a quarrel within the board of directors because someone recommended Li Xuxian.
Are you kidding? Who said that if Lee Jae-yong doesn't admit the plan, it really doesn't exist. Therefore, once Lee Fuzhen throws out the Sunshine Buds plan at this time...
Of course, this has nothing to do with Zhou Jing. He is only responsible for throwing bricks. As for whether it attracts jade or bombs, Li Fuzhen needs to weigh it himself.
If you can't even figure this out, then Li Fuzhen can just go to sleep, and fighting for inheritance rights will only make you laugh.
The office was very quiet. Zhou Jing was minding her own business, smelling the aroma and drinking tea. Li Fuzhen frowned and tapped her thigh unconsciously with the fingers of her right hand. It was obvious that she was repeatedly considering the pros and cons of the matter.
After a long time, she opened her eyes and relaxed her eyebrows, then she nodded lightly at Zhou Jing and said:
"Xiaojing, Kumawa..."
"Nuna, I don't dare to accept this thank you. After all... I didn't say anything."
"Tch, you're the only one who knows how to pretend."
"hehe..."
As Li Fuzhen flew out of the sanitary eye in anger again, Zhou Jing couldn't help but feel happy. It seemed that the other party had made a decision, so that was good.
"It's getting late, Noona, I'll take my leave first."
Now that the business was finished, Zhou Jing stood up and prepared to leave, but Li Fuzhen stopped him unexpectedly.
"Hey, where are you going?"
"Go home, otherwise."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Zhou Jing was asked by Li Fuzhen to the point where Monk Zhang Er was confused, but Li Fuzhen couldn't help but shake his head when he saw his reaction.
"You, I don't know how to say hello to you." Li Fuzhen also stood up and came to Zhou Jing. He first straightened his tie and then said,
"Sometimes I'm too smart, and sometimes I'm too stupid. Listen, I'll go home to spend time with my kids, and you can stay here honestly."
"I...stay?" Zhou Jing looked around and became increasingly confused.
"Pfft..." Li Fuzhen laughed so hard that his branches trembled wildly, and it took him a while to regain his composure,
"You forgot, today is Valentine's Day. I will ask Secretary An to arrange a suite later. You and your baby Krystal can spend the night here. He is really a man who doesn't know how to be charming."
"Ah? That's great, haha..." Zhou Jing smiled and scratched his head, but he immediately thought of a question, "But I came directly from the reception just now, and I... didn't bring any money with me."
"Ah, Zhou Jing, did you hit me in the face on purpose? The Shilla Hotel didn't pay you that much for the room?"
"No, Noona, don't get excited, that's all I said."
"Really, the more I thought about it, the more angry I became, so I left."
"Nuna, walk slowly and be careful not to fall."
"Go away, I'm not even 70 or 80 years old."
"..."
------------------
"Ding dong..."
The doorbell rang, and Zhou Jing, who was sleeping on the sofa, jumped up when he heard the sound, and then ran towards the door in three steps and two steps at a time.
He thought Little Crystal was coming, but when he opened the door...
"Anihasay, Zhou Jingxi, this is a late night snack prepared for you with special care on behalf of nim."
Outside the door was a waiter pushing a dining cart. Zhou Jing was surprised and couldn't help but feel a warm feeling in his heart.
Although Li Fuzhen was angry when he left, he turned around and did not forget to arrange a supper for him and Crystal, and it was also a romantic and loving meal.
Authentic Australian filet mignon paired with red wine, almost served with two candles. Zhou Jing happily looked at the delicious food in front of him, and looked up to find that Crystal had walked into the room at some point.
"I wish you both a pleasant meal."
The waiter smiled and saluted, and did not forget to close the door when he left. However, Jingshu couldn't stand it until the waiter left.
"Smelly Oppa, I'm so tired."
Crystal threw away her bag and the bag in her hand, and immediately collapsed on the sofa. Zhou Jing's heart tightened when he saw this.
Something's wrong, this is too ungrateful. You have to know that beef is her favorite food. In the past, even if she fell asleep, she would jump up and show off the meat as long as she smelled the smell of steak. It's not like now...
"What's wrong? The meeting didn't go well?"
Zhou Jing sat down next to Crystal, and Crystal put her little head into his arms, then shook her head and said:
"Arnie, I'm just a little unhappy."
"Why?"
"It's almost a little late now. This is our first Valentine's Day in our relationship. It ended before we even had a good time, so I'm not happy."
"What a little pabo."
"What?"
Crystal swooped away from Zhou Jing's arms, then looked at her coldly and was about to explode, but she didn't know that the next second she was almost stopped by Zhou Jing's words.
"Actually, every day we are together can be Valentine's Day, Xiujing, I love you."
"Tch, I can use a newly learned word to describe what you said..."
"What?"
"Greasy, hee hee..."
Typical of duplicity, Crystal was very disdainful, but her pretty eyes betrayed her, making Zhou Jing twitch his index finger.
Steak is not as delicious as Crystal. However, when he just wanted the princess to pick up Crystal, Crystal suddenly ran away from the sofa.
"Smelly Oppa, I'm hungry, let's eat steak first."
"Uh, okay."
As expected of Jing, a foodie, she didn't miss out on anything to eat or drink after being coquettish, but what puzzled Zhou Jing was that Jing was not in a hurry to enjoy the food, and instead picked up the bag and entered the bathroom.
"Xiujing, what are you doing?"
"I'll change my clothes, stinky oppa, wait for me, don't eat secretly."
No, Zhou Jing was confused. What clothes should he change into? If it was about a sense of ceremony, Crystal was wearing the same dress he had attended the reception before.
The answer was quickly revealed. Ten minutes later, Jing Shui walked out of the bathroom. Zhou Jing took a closer look and felt numb all over.
White shirt, blue tie, dark school uniform, khaki skirt, and black knee-high socks.
Wait, this outfit looks so familiar. Zhou Jing suddenly remembered that Crystal had given him a poster when he first met him, and it looked like he was wearing this outfit.
I asked, isn't that the makeup from the TV series "The Heirs"? Zhou Jing stood up and walked to Crystal and took a look at the name tag on her chest.
As expected, the name above is clearly Li Baona...
