The Peninsula chaebol started by rescuing Samsung's little princess.

MarsNet is so popular in the investment world that almost all major investment institutions on the peninsula want to invest in it!

A website that has been established for only six months has already reached the top five on the Peninsula Internet and the number one social network. Who knows how far it can go in the future?

Investing in the internet industry has never been about investing in the present of a company, but rather investing in its future!

As long as you can present investors with a grand and appealing vision, and get them to accept it, you can still get money out of their pockets even if your company is just a bunch of PowerPoint presentations!

Therefore, since Li Haorong returned to China, countless people have wanted to invest in him, so it can be said that he is not short of money at all!

If that's the case, why did he come looking for me?

Although Lee Boo-jin was promoted to vice president of Hotel Shilla last year, she has never made any investments, and her assets mainly consist of stocks given to her by Lee Kun-hee.

Under such circumstances, when Li Haorong approached her for investment, she instinctively felt there was a trap involved!

"Will you lack investors?"

"I don't lack investors, but I lack investors I can trust!"

Li Haorong said with a sincere expression.

"You trust me? You've only seen me a few times?"

Lee Ho-young's words almost made Lee Boo-jin laugh, though she naturally didn't believe them at all.

"Relationships between people are not determined by the number of times they meet. Some people become instant friends, while others remain strangers even after decades of acquaintance!"

"You feel an instant connection with me?"

"That's right, Fu-jin-neechan, your noble demeanor, elegant speech, and outstanding abilities have deeply impressed me..."

"Stop, stop, stop!"

Hearing Lee Ho-young's words becoming increasingly outrageous, Lee Boo-jin quickly interrupted him, glanced at Lee Yoon-hyung whose expression remained unchanged, and then continued:

"You should save those words for Yin Xin to say. Tell me the truth!"

"You're Yin Xin's older sister, you have spare money, and you won't interfere with my business, so of course I'm going to ask you!"

Li Haorong was also straightforward and immediately told the truth.

"That makes some sense!"

"Unnie, please help him!"

At this moment, Lee Yoon-hyung, who was standing to the side, also took the opportunity to act coquettishly towards Lee Boo-jin.

Seeing her younger sister's hopeless state, Lee Boo-jin sighed:

"Tell me, how do you plan to collaborate?"

"I plan to start an investment company with you, Fu Zhen, and use that company to invest in Mars Technology!"

"What percentage of shares do I own in this investment company?"

"25%!"

Lee Boo-jin chuckled lightly, "Hmph, you've certainly played your cards well!"

"I learned it all from Chairman Li!"

Clearly, Lee Ho-young's actions are also a form of multi-layered nesting, following the same approach as the Samsung family's control of the Samsung Group.

Introducing investment into Mars Technology will undoubtedly dilute Li Haorong's shareholding.

This is only the second round of financing so far; if there are third, fourth, or even more rounds in the future…

His shareholding will inevitably fall below 51% during this process, thus losing absolute control of the company.

Li Haorong would never entrust his life to someone else!

Now, Li Haorong has re-established an investment company and holds absolute control of it.

Then, by having this investment company invest in Mars Technology, combined with his original shares, he can ensure that his shares will not be diluted too much in subsequent financing rounds!

"But it sounds like this wouldn't do me any good at all!"

However, Lee Boo-jin was not the kind of naive little girl who would be easily deceived by Lee Ho-young.

Her reputation as "Little Lee Kun-hee" in the business world is well-deserved!

"What do you mean, no? Does Boo-jin intend to stay at Hotel Shilla for the rest of her life?"

Upon hearing this, Lee Boo-jin's expression immediately hardened.

"What do you mean by that?"

"Don't misunderstand, I mean, Sister Fu-jin, it's such a waste of your talents to only run one Shilla Hotel!"

With your abilities, you are fully capable of creating an even greater career!

"For example, your investment company? I'm afraid it's just a shell company, isn't it?"

Lee Boo-jin chuckled softly.

"That's just now. My expectations for this investment firm aren't just to use it to control MarsNet! I have many other things I want to invest in!"

At this moment, Lee Boo-jin realized that she had underestimated Lee Ho-young; this guy's ambition was much greater than she had imagined.

After a moment's thought, Lee Boo-jin suddenly said, "Yoon Hyung, could you go out for a bit?"

"Huh? Me?"

Li Yinxin pointed to her nose, looking completely bewildered.

"You can go out now!"

Li Haorong also gave her a reassuring look.

Lee Yoon-hyung looked at her older sister and Lee Ho-young suspiciously before reluctantly leaving Lee Boo-jin's office.

After Lee Yoon-hyung left, Lee Boo-jin continued:

"Do you genuinely like Yin Xin, or are you just using her to climb the social ladder?"

"Of course I mean it!"

Li Haorong answered without hesitation.

"Fine, then break up with your assistant right now and start dating Yin Xin properly. I'll give you, you two-timing scumbag, a chance!"

Lee Boo-jin had a bad impression of Lee Ho-young from the beginning, whether it was Lee Ho-young using a photo with Lee Kun-hee to cheat and deceive, or tricking Lee Yoon-hyung into having two relationships at the same time.

In her view, this was an ambitious young man who was climbing the ladder by any means necessary!

If she weren't worried that Li Yinxin would go to extremes again, she would have personally taken action to break the two up long ago!

"Unnie Fu-jin, I really admire you. You're so smart, so why are you so naive when it comes to relationships between men and women?"

After Li Yinxin left, Li Haorong's tone became much more unrestrained.

"What do you mean?"

What kind of man do you think is a good man?

To fawn over you and take meticulous care of you?

Or is he the most devoted lover on the peninsula, single-mindedly devoted to you, never even glancing at other women?

"Isn't this just common sense?"

"But what you see is just the surface; it can all be faked!"

True love is about choosing each other firmly even in the face of a great crisis!

"You mean to say who you are?"

Lee Boo-jin was amused by Lee Ho-yong's words, which was equivalent to Ximen Qing saying that he was the most affectionate man in the Northern Song Dynasty!

"If I give in to you today and abandon Juli, do you think I'll abandon Yinxin tomorrow when faced with even greater temptations and more difficult crises?"

This time, Lee Boo-jin remained silent.

She clearly took his words to heart.

No one understands better than her what it feels like to "choose your own path even if the whole world opposes it."

"But the problem is, you actually chose two!"

"But none of them objected! What makes you think that your perception of happiness is true happiness? In other words, are you happy right now?"

Lee Ho-young's words were truly a blow to the heart, instantly enraging Lee Boo-jin.

Her face turned bright red, and she gritted her teeth as she said to Li Haorong, "Get out!"

"Sister Fuzhen, why don't you consider my suggestion? You're acting on emotion right now; that's not the behavior of a proper businesswoman!"

After saying this, Lee Ho-young turned and left the office, not giving Lee Boo-jin a chance to retort.

Even after Li Haorong left, Li Fuzhen's heart remained unsettled for a long time.

The truth is often more hurtful than a lie!

Lee Boo-jin broke down because Lee Ho-young was right!

She once defied the entire world to find a man, but she was not happy after marriage.

Just then, her phone rang, and she answered it.

"Honey, you have to help me this time..."

Lee Boo-jin heard her husband, Im Woo-jae, almost crying on the other end of the phone, and she was at her wit's end.

Suddenly, she thought to herself: If Ren Youzai could be like Li Haorong, would she be happier?
