However, what was irritating Song Wei was that five minutes had already passed since the time she had agreed to meet with Li Yibing.
But Li Yibing still had not come.
Song Wei was always very punctual, so when discussing projects with others, she would never be late and would even arrive early.
Therefore, she felt a deep disdain for those who were late.
Checking the time again, another minute had gone by, causing her internal dislike for the yet-to-arrive Li Yibing to intensify further.
She decided that after finishing the egg crepe in her hand, if Li Yibing still hadn't arrived, she would leave decisively and go pick up Wang Ye.
Just as Song Wei finished her egg crepe and was about to leave directly, Li Yibing appeared before her, holding a bag of something.
While placing the bag he was carrying on the table before him, Li Yibing complained to Song Wei,
"Sorry, I'm a bit late. I actually arrived here on time, but since I was already here, I had to buy some food to eat," he explained.
"I wandered around for quite a while and found that not a single shop in this snack street sold Western food, so I went out of my way to another place to buy this Western meal."
"I must say, the snacks in Dragon Country are not only unpalatable but also so unsanitary!"
Upon hearing Li Yibing's words, a hint of displeasure flashed in Song Wei's beautiful eyes.
Originally, when she listened to Li Zhou praising his son, she had thought that Li Zhou was someone who had studied abroad and planned to return to promote the development of the jewelry industry in Dragon Country.
Someone who had a patriotic heart.
But from the few words Li Yibing had said since his return, it was clear to her that Li Yibing was completely an admirer and flatterer of foreign things.
Had it not been for Li Zhou's sincerity when discussing the possibility of partnership, just these few words spoken by Li Yibing would have been enough to greatly upset Song Wei, causing her to turn around and leave.
Although Li Yibing did not deliberately observe the expression on Song Wei's face, he knew from his own intuition that Song Wei must be dissatisfied with him.
However, far from feeling disappointed, a smirk emerged on his face.
Song Wei was partially right; he indeed admired and flattered foreign things, but he was not without intelligence. If he wanted the negotiation to be successful, even though he was such a person, he certainly would not show it so openly.
Li Yibing's overt display of his preferences was intended to make Song Wei disgusted, hence no longer interested in collaborating with him on jewelry.
In fact, before returning to his country, Li Yibing had already established a strategic partnership with the jewelry industry in Ma Country. He only needed to come back and start providing raw materials, and in return, they would help him enter the jewelry industry.
In Li Yibing's view, he did not need to investigate Song Wei to know that the Jewelry Group she was a part of could not possibly be a top-notch company.
At least, not among the top three in Dragon Country!
And such companies, he looked down upon!
After all, the Jewelry Group from Ma Country he had formed a strategic partnership with ranked globally, and there was no way he would jeopardize a greater opportunity for a lesser one.
Li Yibing had not shared this information with his father because he knew that even if he did, Li Zhou would certainly disagree.
It would be better to sabotage the partnership with Li Zhou so that when the time came, even if Li Zhou was reluctant, he would have no choice but to collaborate with the Jewelry Group from Ma Country.
And the moment he sat down, Li Yibing glanced over at Song Wei.
With just that glance,
Li Yibing's expression momentarily stiffened. When he had first come over, he had approached from behind, so he saw only the back of Song Wei and had not looked at her face.
In Li Yibing's opinion, although Song Wei's figure looked great from behind, the allure of a silhouette was all too common.
Looking good from the back didn't count for much.
Yet, when he saw Song Wei's face, he was utterly dazzled by her beauty.
Song Wei was adorned with many pieces of jewelry, but her presence wasn't overwhelmed by these embellishments.
Instead, the jewelry served to enhance Song Wei's aura of wealth and grace, elevating her natural elegance.
It felt as if Song Wei was born to be in a wealthy household.
Li Yibing had only taken one look before he was captivated by Song Wei's beauty.
A thought flashed through his mind,
——Get her!
With the financial means his father had provided him, Li Yibing had led a charmed life while studying abroad, having had his fair share of special experiences with many foreign girls.
But upon seeing Song Wei, he instantly felt as if those he met abroad paled in comparison.
All the beautiful women he had considered attractive seemed to fade when compared to Song Wei.
A strong desire to conquer welled up in Li Yibing as he surveyed the surroundings of Cooking Class Snack Street with a hint of disdain.
Such a beauty should be dining with him in a Western restaurant, under the glow of candles, enjoying a candlelit dinner, anticipatory of the night's main event.
Song Wei already had an aversion to Li Yibing, who, in essence, was just a college graduate.
He was unaware of the need to conceal his emotions.
So, when Li Yibing looked at Song Wei, the conquering desire in his gaze was immediately spotted by her.
For a moment,
Song Wei's disdain for Li Yibing intensified.
"Young Master Li, please retract your filthy gaze and restrain yourself," Song Wei said, not holding back her emotions. After all, because of her connections with Wang Ye, even if the collaboration with Li Yibing were to fail, many other Yuan Shi Groups would be eager to discuss partnerships with her.
Li Yibing had intended to speak to Song Wei with a smile, as wooing a woman often requires a bit of flattery.
But upon hearing Song Wei's words, Li Yibing's face turned sour in an instant.
He could not believe that Song Wei dared to speak to him like that!
