The CEO's Wife and First Love

Chapter 566: Competition among Men

"Mr. Li, please come in!" Yang Hongda greeted him with a smile on his face. His enthusiasm was as if Anthony didn't exist at all. In fact, Yang Hongda had already noticed the obvious jealousy on Anthony's face, but he was always very tolerant and acted as if he didn't see anything.

His smile was as warm as the spring sun, making people feel particularly friendly. However, whether there were other emotions hidden behind this smile, perhaps only he knew. Yang Hongda walked in front of Director Li as if nothing had happened, as if everything was normal and there was nothing unusual.

Yang Hongda walked to the table with a smile on his face. His movements were graceful and natural, as if it was a carefully choreographed dance. He gently reached out his hand, grasped the armrest of the chair, and then slowly pulled the chair away. The whole process was as smooth as flowing water.

Li Min stood aside, watching Yang Hongda's every move, and a warm feeling welled up in her heart. She felt a little sorry when she saw Yang Hongda pulling the stool for her so devoutly. However, she did not show any hesitation, but walked to the chair gracefully with a queen-like steady attitude and slowly sat down.

Yang Hongda stood beside Li Min, smiling and looking at her, with a hint of admiration and respect in his eyes. Li Min sat dignified and elegant, and every move she made seemed so confident and calm, as if the whole world was under her control.

Anthony sat down slowly beside Li Min with a helpless look on his face, as if this position was not what he expected. On the other hand, Yang Hongda sat down next to Li Min without hesitation, as if he was full of expectations for this position.

In this way, Li Min was surrounded by two men, like a queen sitting on the throne, while Anthony and Yang Hongda were like her left and right guards, sitting on her two sides respectively.

At this moment, the waiters were like well-trained dancers, moving lightly between the tables. They held exquisite plates in their hands, which were filled with a variety of delicious dishes. These dishes exuded an alluring aroma, making people salivate.

A closer look revealed that the table was filled with a wide variety of seafood, including fresh and juicy lobsters with bright red shells, as if showing off their deliciousness; plump crabs with hard shells and plump meat that made people want to feast on them; in addition, there were crystal clear shrimps, delicate shellfish, and so on. It was a seafood feast.

"Come here, Miss Li, this prawn looks particularly plump and must be delicious." Yang Hongda said with a smile on his face, and quickly picked up the prawn with chopsticks. He carefully placed the prawn on Li Min's plate, then gently picked it up and began to carefully peel the prawn for her.

Yang Hongda's movements were skillful and gentle, as if this was something he did often. He first pinched the shrimp head with his fingers and pulled it slightly, and the shrimp head was easily pulled off. Then, he used chopsticks to gently pick along the cracks on the shrimp's back, and the shrimp skin slid down the chopsticks as if it were under a spell.

During the whole process, Yang Hongda's eyes were always on Li Min, and he seemed to enjoy the process of serving her. When he put the peeled shrimp meat on Li Min's plate, he smiled and said to her: "Ms. Li, this shrimp meat is very fresh, try it."

Li Min, who was sitting nearby, was casually fiddling with the chopsticks in her hand. Suddenly, her eyes were attracted by the scene in front of her.

Yang Hongda was seen peeling a large prawn with concentration, his movements were gentle and skillful, as if this was not a simple task, but a work of art that required careful carving. Yang Hongda carefully peeled the prawn meat from the shell, and then placed the intact prawn meat in Li Min's bowl.

Li Min couldn't help being a little surprised. She stared at the peeled shrimp in the bowl with wide eyes, and an indescribable feeling of being touched surged in her heart. She had never thought that Yang Hongda would peel shrimp for her so carefully. This small gesture made her feel his care and consideration.

This scene changed Li Min's impression of Yang Hongda. She originally thought that Yang Hongda was just a rich tycoon, and most tycoons were very arrogant, but he could peel shrimps for her himself. Moreover, she came to him to sign the order and she had something to ask of him, but he could put down his arrogance and do such a thing for her, which touched Li Min.

But now, she began to notice the details about him that she had previously overlooked. Perhaps Yang Hongda was not as simple as she thought.

Every interaction between Li Min and Yang Hongda seemed to be carefully observed by Anthony through a magnifying glass, without missing a single thing. Yang Hongda's actions made Anthony very disgusted. I am your legitimate husband right here, do you think I am dead?

However, before coming here today, Li Min had specifically told Anthony that the purpose of their trip today was to discuss investment matters with Yang Hongda, which was of great significance to their company, so they must be careful in what they say and do and must not make any rash moves.

Anthony watched Yang Hongda peeling shrimp for Li Min, and he was so jealous that his face became uglier. He was about to say something, but Li Min secretly stepped on him and winked at him. Anthony had to swallow the words that were on the tip of his tongue.

Yang Hongda didn't seem to notice Anthony's strangeness, and continued to introduce the dishes enthusiastically. "Ms. Li, this steamed crab is also a must-try, the meat is tender, please try it." He went to get the crab again.

At this time, Li Min smiled and waved his hand, "Boss Yang, let's talk business first. I still need to discuss this investment with you."

Yang Hongda was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Okay, Director Li is indeed resolute and decisive. Then let's eat and talk at the same time."

Next, the three of them discussed the investment. Although Anthony was unhappy, he tried to control his emotions and participated in the discussion seriously. Li Min fully demonstrated his professionalism and clearly explained the company's plans and vision, hoping to impress Yang Hongda to invest.

After Li Min finished explaining the company's profit model, Yang Hongda nodded slightly, with a thoughtful look on his face. "Mr. Li, what you said makes sense, but I would also like to know your strategy for dealing with market competition."

Just as Li Min was about to speak, Anthony spoke first: "Our company has a strong team, leading technology, and absolute competitiveness in the market." He was eager to show off and wanted to overwhelm Yang Hongda in momentum.

Yang Hongda raised his lips and glanced at Anthony with a half-smile. "It's good for young people to be motivated, but the business world is like a battlefield. Confidence alone is not enough."

Li Min was worried that Anthony would say something wrong again out of impulse, so she quickly took over the conversation and explained in detail the company's differentiated strategy and market layout against its competitors.

After listening to Yang Hongda, a hint of recognition flashed in his eyes, "Mr. Li is indeed far-sighted. I am more interested in this investment."

Anthony felt a little disappointed, but he also knew that he couldn't act on impulse. In the following discussion, he was much quieter, listening carefully to Yang Hongda's questions and answering them together with Li Min. The discussion about investment continued in a tense and delicate atmosphere, and the outcome was still unknown.

At this time, Li Min rolled her eyes at Anthony. What happened to her husband today? It turned out that he was not someone who could not read people's expressions. What happened to this guy today...
