"I'm really sorry. This time, I've implicated you two."
Just after taking Ji Xiaoli and Zheng Nanfeng out, Jace said to the two of them very apologetically.
He really didn't expect that Tom would go looking for trouble with the two of them. Otherwise, he wouldn't have given them his invitation letter.
"It's okay. I don't mind something like this happening."
Ji Xiaoli's tone carried a bit of nonchalance. She didn't care at all that she was inexplicably bid up today.
Recalling Tom's expression when he was frustrated just now, Ji Xiaoli laughed.
"Moreover, I didn't suffer a loss. Instead, he dug a big hole for himself."
Hearing Ji Xiaoli say this, Jace felt a bit better.
However, Jace still had to explain this matter.
"That Tom is my cousin. The two of us have been competing with each other since childhood."
When saying this, Jace still felt a bit ashamed.
Jace brought Ji Xiaoli and Zheng Nanfeng to his villa in the country.
After sitting down, Jace intended to tell the two of them the ins and outs of this matter.
"Moreover, throughout our childhood, I've always had the upper hand over him. So, he's always been unconvinced."
As Jace said this, he ordered the servants in the house to quickly serve tea to Ji Xiaoli and Zheng Nanfeng.
Two cups of fragrant tea were quickly brewed. The servant placed the tea.
Ji Xiaoli gently took a sip, as if waiting for Jace to continue.
She didn't expect that the two of them were actually related by blood. It seemed that their personalities were not alike.
One was a heavy and stable investment master.
One was a price-lifting maniac who flew into a rage.
It was no wonder that Jace could gain the upper hand when comparing the two.
"I originally only thought that the two of us were competing fairly. I didn't expect that he would use underhanded methods."
Jace's expression was not very good. If one were to use Ji Xiaoli's thoughts, this was a family scandal.
"Why don't you go into detail and tell me what kind of methods he used?"
Ji Xiaoli looked at Jace with interest. She wanted to hear what was dirty between the two cousins.
When saying this, Jace snorted.
"At that time, I had negotiated a deal. And I had already decided that the two families would quickly sign a contract. But the day before, Tom actually invited me to drink."
An uncle who didn't have a good relationship suddenly invited you to drink. There should be a problem, right?
Even in the country, this was a strange matter.
Even brothers had to calculate clearly. Moreover, the relationship between the two of them was not good to begin with.
It was a pity that at that time, Jace stupidly believed Tom's words.
When he thought of it now, Jace still carried a bit of regret.
However, using a cooperation to see clearly the character of one's own brother, Jace thought that this was a very worthwhile deal.
Carrying a gossipy tone, Ji Xiaoli asked, "Then did you go at that time?"
Jace nodded.
"Yes. As a result, I drank too much that day and missed the meeting the next day. The business partner said that I was not trustworthy. So, at that time, I signed Tom's contract."
After pausing for a moment, Jace recalled the matter of that day. It seemed that he thought of the appearance of being said to be untrustworthy.
"It was at that time that my credibility was much lower than before. And it caused me to be crazily excluded for a period of time."
When talking about this matter, Jace still felt a bit aggrieved. Jace would definitely not forget this period of the past.
However, after saying that, Jace picked up the teacup.
"It's not just this matter. Later, I also discovered that he had inserted his own people into my project team."
The matter of inserting spies was very common. However, using it on one's own brother was really too much.
Even after Ji Xiaoli heard it, she felt that this Tom was really not a person who could take on great responsibilities.
"At that time, he inserted people into my project team and even copied my creative plan. I will not let him go."
Jace said this gnashing his teeth. Ji Xiaoli also nodded.
Doing something like this was tantamount to cutting off all ties. It was a pity that Tom could think of such a method.
However, Ji Xiaoli was a bit curious. "Since he copied the plan at that time, how was it resolved in the end?"
Ji Xiaoli was also very curious. Why was it that Jace could go from a small figure to an investment master?
Presumably, everyone in the industry who mentioned Jace's name now had to admire him.
"What's there to say? Of course, I caught his handle and used the people he couldn't handle to counterattack."
Jace was also an old fox. He gave Ji Xiaoli a mysterious smile.
It seemed that Jace didn't attack Tom at that time because he considered him a relative.
Since Tom didn't want to recognize this relative and even stabbed him in the back, then Jace definitely would not be polite.
Jace had created his own world through his own efforts. Now, everyone in the world knew of the stock god, Jace.
However, Tom could only rely on the remaining power of the family to survive. Those with real strength simply did not care to know him.
"Listening to your cousin, he seems quite pitiful. However, this is self-inflicted."
After listening, Ji Xiaoli gave her opinion. When she recalled the matter at the auction today, she only felt a bit speechless.
She didn't expect that a defeated opponent who was not convinced would actually jump over the wall in desperation and provoke the friend of the former winner.
"This is already a thing of the past. Today's matter was truly caused by me. According to your habits, I will use tea to toast as if it were wine."
The three of them each raised their teacups and used tea instead of wine. Each of them took a sip. After putting down their teacups, they began to discuss cooperation matters.
"I've already had my risk department do an assessment. This time, the risk is very high. Are you sure you want to make this investment?"
There was a bit of consideration in Jace's eyes.
Although he believed what Ji Xiaoli said, investment was not child's play. One had to have full confidence to do it well.
If Ji Xiaoli's confidence was not firm enough, then it was possible that this investment would not be ideal.
Moreover, if there was a single flaw in this plan, then the project could not be established.
He had so many investment projects in his hands. It was impossible for him to precisely check each one.
"At present, there is no problem. My analysis will not be wrong."
Ji Xiaoli said this confidently. However, Jace still had a bit of doubt.
After all, Ji Xiaoli was a genius who suddenly appeared. Although she had not made a mistake before, who knew if she would make a mistake in the future?
Ji Xiaoli was originally very optimistic about this project. Moreover, the system also affirmed that this project would be able to make a lot of money in the future.
"Don't worry. Since I've already decided, there will be no mistake. I believe in this project."
Ji Xiaoli's determination made Jace feel that he would definitely be able to succeed this time.
The two of them quickly began to discuss the matter of investment passionately.
Zheng Nanfeng seemed to not be involved in anything on the side. However, his gaze would occasionally turn back and land on Ji Xiaoli, full of warmth.
Ji Xiaoli would also turn around when she felt the gaze at times. The two of them would smile at each other.
Looking at the appearance of the two young people interacting with each other, Jace was very optimistic.
Was this the love between young people? This made him think of when he first fell in love. It was also like this.
