You two rest first; we'll meet after I finish my work!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Okay, we're in no rush. You attend to your matters first!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Fat Di replied, she turned to look at Yang Mi beside her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sister Mi, shall we wait in the room for a while? Is Mr. Lin still busy?\" Fat Di asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although she and Lin Yi had known each other for quite some time,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>she had always addressed him as \"Mr. Lin,\" which was, of course, a sign of respect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Yang Mi smiled and said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's fine. Someone as important as him surely has many matters to attend to!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In truth, coming to Pengcheng with Fat Di this time was not only to meet this newly crowned richest man of Pengcheng,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>but also to seek investment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Indeed, last year she and her agent, along with a third partner, had founded Xizhang Jiaying. Then, in September, Xizhang Jiaying successfully acquired a 37.5% stake in \"Xi'an Tongda,\" a company listed on the New Third Board, thereby becoming its largest shareholder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shortly afterward, Xi'an Tongda was renamed \"Jiaying Media,\" with its valuation reaching 25 million.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, a media company relying on such limited capital could hardly achieve anything significant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, the company's shareholders all wished to bring in a substantial investor. Originally, Yang Mi and the others had intended to attract investment from a film production company.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, upon learning that her artist Fat Di knew Lin Yi, the tycoon of Pengcheng, Yang Mi's thoughts began to stir.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, compared to bringing in an ordinary film company, Lin Yi, as the richest man in Pengcheng, clearly possessed far greater capital and background.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Furthermore, according to her investigations, Lin Yi's companies were almost entirely industrial enterprises.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had never been involved in any company related to film production.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, even if Lin Yi took a stake in Jiaying, it would not interfere with Jiaying's operations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, Yang Mi intended this time to persuade Lin Yi to invest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One could say this task was quite heavy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, convincing a shrewd first-generation entrepreneur to enter a completely unfamiliar field was no small challenge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Mi had made various preparations for this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, the two women waited until around six in the evening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, a message arrived on Fat Di's WeChat:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm nearly at the hotel. See you soon!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immediately, Fat Di and Yang Mi perked up and began dressing up, touching up their makeup, and so on,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>striving to present themselves in the most beautiful light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Yi arrived at the Yi Long Pavilion within the Peninsula Hotel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On September 21, 2016, Michelin officially released the 2017 Pengcheng Michelin Guide.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Yi Long Pavilion, located inside the Peninsula Hotel, was awarded two Michelin stars.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Designed by a renowned company from Hongdao, the restaurant is famous for its authentic Cantonese cuisine and features a chef's table along with six private dining rooms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The overall decor was modeled after the mansion of a prominent Chinese merchant from the 1930s, perfectly capturing an elegant style.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Themed designs such as a study, a family lounge, and a library endowed the Yi Long Pavilion with a rich atmosphere of \"home.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon learning that the reservation was made by Lin Yi, the richest man in Pengcheng, the Peninsula Hotel immediately reserved its largest private room for him\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>and guaranteed that all dishes would be personally prepared by the hotel's head chef\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>to ensure Lin Yi could enjoy genuine Michelin-quality cuisine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After waiting in the private room for a while, Lin Yi saw Yang Mi and Fat Di approaching, accompanied by an enchanting fragrance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Mi wore a black deep-V full-skirt dress with flesh-toned stockings, displaying her sexiness to the fullest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fat Di, meanwhile, wore a pink sleeveless backless V-neck sexy dress, showcasing ample cleavage\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>without any hesitation for Lin Yi to see.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Coupled with her exotic facial features and perfect figure,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Yi felt both women were quite impressive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mr. Lin, we've kept you waiting!\" Yang Mi said apologetically.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No problem; I just arrived myself,\" Lin Yi replied with a slight smile before gesturing,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Please, sit down!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, Fat Di took the seat beside Lin Yi,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>where, due to her attire, Lin Yi's view was almost completely unobstructed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Mi, seemingly unwilling to be outdone, sat on Lin Yi's other side,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>her deep neckline and long legs exuding plenty of sexiness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Lin Yi was no novice; truth be told, every woman he had been with was no less remarkable than these celebrities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Celebrities were, in essence, merely ordinary people packaged by capital.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For someone like Lin Yi, whose net worth reached hundreds of billions, celebrities were at most mere playthings,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>far inferior to Tang Tang Chuyu, Bai Bai Jie, and others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a tycoon like Lin Yi, whose net worth reached hundreds of billions, celebrities were at most mere playthings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They paled in comparison to Tang Tang Chuyu, Bai Bai Jie, and the others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that Lin Yi merely glanced at her before looking away,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Mi deeply felt that someone who had built an empire independently truly possessed a composure ordinary men could not match.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To be honest, after becoming one of the Four Little Dan Actresses, Yang Mi had also encountered her share of scumbags.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But those men, whenever they saw her, all looked at her with lecherous eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even after she married Kaiwei, those people showed no restraint.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although this was a testament to her charm, being stared at by men with beer bellies and balding heads,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>she actually felt nothing but disgust.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Lin Yi was an exception.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Setting aside his wealth, even just his face, fair as jade and radiant as a god,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>struck directly at Yang Mi's heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as men forever prefer eighteen-year-old women,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>why should women be any different?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking that this Mr. Lin was only twenty-two years old,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Mi found herself liking him more and more the longer she looked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Lin Yi were willing to look at her, she would not mind in the least.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the cuckolding of Kaiwei, a man who earned less than she did,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>he truly did not deserve Yang Mi's respect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, various signature dishes from Yilong Pavilion were served one by one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cold-braised Liaoning sea cucumber with purple onions, organic tomato with scallops and bamboo fungus, scallop and winter melon soup, strawberry sago dessert, and raw salmon tossed salad.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sichuan-style braised split blue lobster, exotic prawn balls, and abalone with goose liver and puffball mushrooms in oyster sauce.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing so many delicious dishes, Fat Di immediately began to drool.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The waiter then brought a bottle of ordinary vintage Bordeaux red wine and poured it for the three of them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Next, Lin Yi waved his hand; understanding the gesture, the waiter in the private room immediately departed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Yang Mi stood up, holding her wine glass, and said to Lin Yi:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mr. Lin, inviting us despite your busy schedule is truly our imposition;\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>please allow me to toast you with this glass of wine!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing her demeanor, Lin Yi knew this woman was adept at handling social situations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To be fair, he himself did not chase celebrities and knew only bits and pieces about the entertainment industry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Regarding this woman Yang Mi, he knew very little.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He only knew she had skyrocketed to fame thanks to the drama \"Palace.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1283,"2026-06-16T04:26:56.390Z","2026-06-16T04:35:04.683Z",1,"Qwen3.5 397B","7ae763693ae919765b9804019f93bbed7cb650cb4f98bfd6f39554a12ecbe11a","arms-tycoon-starting-with-a-hundred-billion-doll-chapter-298","arms-tycoon-starting-with-a-hundred-billion-doll-chapter-296",328,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Farms-tycoon-starting-with-a-hundred-billion-doll-cover.jpg"]
