Chapter 922 - 963: Confession
The saintess was dressed in a floor-length white gown, her golden hair elegantly swept up high. A casual glance from her seemed to land on everyone, making them all feel as if she was looking right at them, igniting an impulse to bow down in worship.
Li Yifei hadn’t expected the representative from the foreign conglomerate to be the saintess. The conglomerate, indeed based in the United States, was known as the Angel Group, with assets of no less than fifty billion dollars. Such a large group in Huaxia could easily match a super wealthy family, if not surpass them.
This was the reason Xu Yingying regarded it with such importance. Even if the major group couldn’t focus its primary efforts on Mile City, a mere gesture from them could mean an investment of several billion dollars—a significant opportunity for development.
Before coming, Li Yifei had reviewed the dossier on Angel Group, but he didn’t expect it to be associated with the Holy War Organization, nor did he anticipate the saintess herself presiding over the event.
What Li Yifei now found somewhat alarming was that Xu Yingying was unaware of the saintess considering him to be her personal demon. Should Xu Yingying confront the saintess, could that lead to unforeseeable complications? He genuinely didn’t know.
"Ladies and gentlemen! Allow me to introduce someone to you all," Song Zhentao cleared his throat, and immediately the hall quieted down. Just like when Su Mengxin had come to Mile City, the event was organized by the city, so Song Zhentao, the Municipal Party Secretary, had taken on the role of host.
"This time, Angel Group will be investing in our Mile City. This is Miss Yanzi, the Chief Executive Officer of Angel Group. Now, let’s give Miss Yanzi a few moments to speak."
The saintess took a step forward, her gaze sweeping over the crowd once more, and when her eyes passed over Li Yifei, he smiled at her—an obviously unnatural smile. But the saintess’s gaze merely brushed against Li Yifei’s and didn’t linger or show any additional reaction.
"Friends of Mile City, I am joyful to come to this beautiful coastal city and pleased to meet everyone here," the saintess said in fluent Chinese, followed by a bow, prompting warm applause from everyone.
"Our Angel Group has been growing domestically, and for this overseas expansion, as the Chinese Chief Executive Officer, I am committed to developing in Huaxia, here in Mile City. Our initial goal is an investment of one billion dollars. I hope we can forge sincere business partnerships to progress and innovate together."
