"Well… I didn't expect that you would have any connection to the Lee Group in Singapore," Zhuo Jingren said. "Avoid them," he added.
"They can bring me profits," Lily said. "I always connect with people who can increase my profits," she smiled. "Plus I'm using the term 'connections' very loosely. I have not met with any of them in person."
"The Lee Group are not good people. You don't want to involve yourself with them," he said, his tone serious as he stared into her eyes. "I don't want you to involve yourself with people like them."
In response, Lily stared at her husband in return. She studied his expression for a while before she gave him an affirmative nod. "Alright. Tell me about it when you are ready" she offered. "I won't accept any of their proposals." When she saw a flash of relief in Zhuo Jingren's eyes, Lily continued, "Of course… this is not for free. Those people are like a money tree. I need some form of compensation for saying no to them."
