The person who interrupted them was, unsurprisingly, Gao Ming. Su Zhengxing, who had just consciously introduced him to her in the car, had already given her a brief introduction of him.
Having heard that he would become a top figure in the gaming industry, Lin Qiao carefully observed the man before her. He was about twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, tall with a small head and strong features, but the price tag on his suit was still showing behind his neck.
The man was now looking at them with a hopeful smile, as if their faces had the words ‘Lambs to the Slaughter’ written on them.
“Let me introduce myself. I’m Gao Ming from Zhanyuan Technology. This is my business card. Please keep it.”
He handed over the business card. Su Zhengxing didn’t take it, but Lin Qiao did.
Seeing an opportunity, he quickly unbuttoned his shirt and pulled several neatly folded sheets of paper from his inside suit pocket.
He eagerly said, “Madam, this is a project our company is currently working on called ‘Warrior’s Medal’. Here’s the basic information about the project. Take a look; it’s an absolute unicorn project, guaranteed to make money! We guarantee your investment will increase tenfold within a year—oh no, a hundredfold!”
Gao Ming called his still-developing little project a unicorn. While he wasn’t wrong, he was incredibly shameless. And with this kind of pyramid scheme-style pitch that guarantees profits would multiply many times within a year, it’s no wonder he got kicked out by security guards.
Su Zhengxing had seen countless such opportunists who spouted nonsense and swindled money from wealthy women who knew nothing about investing. He stood in front of Lin Qiao, about to call security, when Lin Qiao, without even looking at the papers, said, “Okay, I’ll invest!”
Gao Ming hadn’t expected things to go so smoothly. He’d only just infiltrated the group, and his first casual test had already secured an investment?
Looks like his luck was on fire!
Gao Ming gleefully pulled out his phone: “Madam, shall we exchange contact information?”
Lin Qiao made a move to take her phone from her purse, about to scan the code, when a pair of slender, bony hands blocked the screen.
“Don’t get scammed.” Su Zhengxing warned her.
Lin Qiao simply handed him the project details that Gao Ming had given her, saying, “Then please, Mr. Su, help me see if I’m being scammed?”
Su Zhengxing took the creased sheets of paper from Lin Qiao with some skepticism. He glanced at them briefly, and surprisingly, they seemed to have some substance.
There was project progress, supporting data, and even a list of concrete next steps—not just empty rhetoric.
“How is it?” Lin Qiao asked, blinking at him.
“Rough…”
He paused, then spoke honestly, “But it’s not entirely useless.”
Still not entirely convinced, he asked Gao Ming a few more questions about the project.
Gao Ming could tell that he was knowledgeable in the field, so he quickly became even more enthusiastic in his sales pitch.
After talking at length until his throat was dry, Gao Ming finally got past his hurdle and successfully added Lin Qiao’s contact information.
“You two chat first, I’ll go over there for a bit.”
As they were talking, Su Zhengxing seemed to see someone and gestured for Lin Qiao to wait for him where she was.
As soon as he left, Gao Ming immediately asked expectantly, “Madam, don’t worry, this project will definitely make you a fortune, so… How much are you planning to invest?”
