Before inviting Li Ye over for drinks, Great God Ni had thought he had figured out many things. Yet in the end, he discovered he had been wrong beyond belief.
He had assumed Li Ye came from a poor family and harbored a deep hunger for money.
And that was indeed true. Li Ye's performance over the years showed that he really knew how to make money.
But Great God Ni had never imagined that Li Ye had an absurdly wealthy old mother.
How could Li Ye, a test-taking genius from a small county town, have risen so spectacularly? How had he gotten tangled up with Hong Kong businessmen back in college, receiving investments and sponsorships until his hands went numb?
How could a Hong Kong tycoon like Pei Wencong be such a bosom friend to Li Ye? He had gifted Mercedes-Benz cars for the opening ceremony—three of them at once?
And Hao Jian and the others at Fenghua Apparel had originally been nothing but a bunch of unemployed drifters. How had they become a well-known mainland enterprise in just a few years?
Because Li Ye's old mother had invested in them!
So Li Ye's meeting with Pei Wencong had not been a poor boy encountering his benefactor. They had always been cut from the same cloth.
When Fu Guiru first started Pengcheng Red Bull, she had still been little known. But things were different these past few years—her fame no longer came solely from Pengcheng Red Bull.
Although Pengcheng Red Bull had now become a household national brand, in the eyes of people like Great God Ni, Fu Guiru was far more than an entrepreneur selling beverages.
Because Fu Guiru had donated enormous sums, invested in many industries across the mainland, and appeared in the newspapers time and again.
