Upon hearing Luo Zixi's words, Li Ka-shing became highly vigilant. At the same time, he felt even more strongly that he must be very discreet in his actions from now on.
Thinking about it, he had such a big game of chess, and before he had even started, Luo Zixi had already intercepted it all.
Having lost this opportunity to take off, he felt that his path ahead would be even more difficult.
Fortunately, Cheung Kong Holdings had already built quite a few buildings on the land they had previously purchased. With these basic assets as a foundation, they could be said to have their own foothold.
However, he clearly didn't get anywhere with Luo Zixi. He awkwardly retreated outside, but outwardly remained respectful and polite to her.
He was considerably older than Luo Zixi, but he had no right to act superior because of his age. In the business world, strength reigns supreme. Even the top tycoons and political figures from Hong Kong had to show Luo Zixi deference.
What shocked and surprised Li Ka-shing the most was the fact that Shen Daban, the coin-holder, was so polite and courteous to Luo Zixi. The scene looked really bizarre.
Everyone knows that Shen Taipan, the patriarch of Shen Taipan, is the God of Wealth of Hong Kong!
Shen Daban's attitude towards Luo Zixi also influenced the attitudes of the wealthy people around Hong Kong. This only proved that Luo Zixi's background was far more terrifying than they had imagined.
The landscape of this port city is truly about to change.
Luo Zixi wasn't particularly adept at socializing, nor did she need to actively engage in social interactions. She and Margaret simply stood quietly in a corner of the venue, and people automatically came over to exchange pleasantries with them.
People came in waves, one after another, in an endless stream.
Everyone knew perfectly well that if they could build a good relationship with this powerful woman, they might be able to benefit from it as well.
Businessmen are inherently profit-driven. Even if there were past conflicts with Chenxi Group, those are things of the past. Who wouldn't want to get involved in a good business opportunity and a promising project?
Now, Chenxi Group has quite a few projects that are visible to everyone. They are going to build a new residential complex in Huangpu Port, and they also have several important plots of land, all of which are in Luo Zixi's hands.
In addition, Chenxi Group has many special projects to undertake, which present opportunities. No wonder so many people are flocking to it.
Among them were Ye Zhengyang and Luo Qingyan, a married couple.
However, there were just too many people around Luo Zixi, so they had neither the opportunity nor the qualification to approach her immediately.
In fact, many people who struck up a conversation with Luo Zixi were unwilling to leave until Luo Zixi lost patience, at which point they would reluctantly walk away.
Luo Zixi wasn't that good-tempered; she couldn't be bothered with or deal with unimportant people.
Given the current wealth and status of the Chenxi Group, ordinary people wouldn't dare to show Luo Zixi any disrespect; on the contrary, they would have to be mindful of Luo Zixi's feelings.
Seeing that Luo Zixi was finally alone, Ye Zhengyang and his wife went over to greet her.
"Hello, Miss Fei! Seeing is believing. Even from afar, we are captivated by your charm. Youth is truly wonderful. I, at my age, am very envious of Miss Fei's youthful and beautiful appearance."
Hearing Luo Qingyan's sweet words, Luo Zixi pretended not to care, but she had actually noticed the two of them immediately.
She simply nodded slightly and said in a very calm manner:
"Madam Ye, you're too kind! I've long heard of your reputation as the most beautiful woman in Hong Kong. Seeing you today, it's truly well-deserved! To maintain such a state at your age, Madam Ye, is truly remarkable!"
"One can imagine how stunningly beautiful Madam Ye must have been in her youth, probably attracting many talented young men to be head over heels for her, right?"
"However, I've never heard of Madam Ye before. A woman like you should be the center of attention wherever she goes, not unknown."
Upon hearing Luo Zixi's words, Luo Qingyan's heart skipped a beat, but she remained calm on the surface and smiled slightly:
"It's normal that Miss Fei doesn't know me. I'm just a nobody. Besides, I've never worked in Hong Kong before; I've always been abroad."
"We've never heard of Miss Fei before, such a stunningly beautiful woman! Which country did you work in before? We only recently returned and still have quite a few businesses abroad. Perhaps we could have the opportunity to collaborate with Miss Fei on some projects overseas in the future?"
Upon hearing Luo Qingyan's words, Luo Zixi couldn't help but sneer inwardly. She was trying to trick her into revealing information!
Luo Qingyan is truly someone who never suffers a loss. When Luo Zixi became suspicious of her, she immediately questioned Luo Zixi's identity in return.
In fact, many people are still unclear about Luo Zixi's mysterious background.
How could such a capable woman have been completely unknown before?
Who exactly is she? What family does she come from? It's impossible for a woman like her to have taken control of such a behemoth as the Morning Light Group out of nowhere.
However, although everyone had many doubts, they wouldn't ask so directly. Their rivals couldn't possibly ignore Luo Zixi's background, but they'd come up empty-handed! Therefore, they felt even more strongly that Luo Zixi's identity was extraordinary, and she was not someone to be trifled with.
At this moment, the place where Luo Zixi was located was not a core area, but there were quite a few people around her.
Indeed, in social situations, the real core lies where the strong are.
Therefore, many people around also pricked up their ears, wanting to hear Luo Zixi's answer.
