The director was stunned for several seconds, then quickly put on a smile, extending his hands towards Bidegla. "So you are CEO Dla of Jennie Bide Jewelers, esteemed guest."

After exchanging pleasantries with this person, Bidegla asked, "Do you know me?"

"Of course, you are famous," the director laughed, though his smile seemed somewhat ingratiating.

Although this was the first time Bidegla had been called a CEO, her expression was strange. Not long ago, she was just a lowly employee, looked down upon by everyone. Now, she had become known as a CEO to others.

For the opening of Jennie Bide Jewelers, many business elites had been invited, mostly at the level of chairmen. People like this director, although holding a high position within their own groups, did not have the qualification to be invited. Only their CEO was allowed to attend the opening ceremony of Jennie Bide Jewelers.

The people invited to the opening of the jewelry store were all truly influential figures, so the director knew just how formidable Bidegla's background was.

Compared to those invited, he had no right to put on airs. It would be foolish to do so.

"No need for pleasantries. I'm here today to discuss a matter with you," Bidegla spoke directly, without beating around the bush.

"Are you here to acquire this shopping center?" the director asked.

"That's right," Bidegla nodded. "I want to acquire this shopping center. Let's talk numbers."

If someone else had said this, the director might have mocked them. But since Bidegla had said it, it was clear that she had the power to make it happen.

However, the director did not answer right away. Instead, he said, "I can't make this decision alone. Wait here for two minutes while I consult with our chairman."

"I'll wait two minutes," Bidegla said, sitting back down and waiting quietly for their response.

Two minutes passed quickly, and the director returned with a cautious look on his face. "Our chairman says the shopping center can be sold to you, or even given to you, but... there's a condition."

At this point, the director seemed a bit nervous, afraid of angering Bidegla.

"What condition?" Bidegla narrowed her eyes, looking at the director.

"Our chairman says the shopping center can be sold to you, or even given to you, but on the condition that our Ocean Group must engage in at least one business cooperation with Laura," the director said, relaying the chairman's words.

"Is that all?" Bidegla felt a bit surprised. It was unexpected that such a large shopping center, worth billions, could be given away so easily.

"Yes, that's what our chairman said. As long as you are willing to help us, the shopping center will be yours," the director nodded, feeling a bit pained by the terms.

For a shopping center of this size, the value of at least five billion, according to the market in Zhuhai City, it was a very high price to pay.

However, now, in order to engage in cooperation with Laura Group, they were willing to give it away. If he were the CEO, he might not have made such a decision. It was too extravagant.

"Alright, as long as your cooperation project doesn't violate any laws, I can agree. Just mention my name to Laura, I believe they won't refuse you," Bidegla said, relieved to save this substantial amount of money.

Hundreds of millions, not a small number, and he can get this shopping mall without doing anything at all. It's rare to find such a good thing in the world.

"Really?" The director was surprised to hear Bidegla's words.

"Of course, you just tell our chairman my words, and if the cooperation doesn't work, let him come to me himself." Bidegla smiled, then continued, "Since you are willing to give me this place, then call the lawyer to come and sign the transfer agreement."

The tale has been illicitly lifted; should you spot it on Amazon, report the violation.

In this society, Bidegla didn't believe in just verbal promises.

"No problem, our group has a professional team of lawyers. I will inform them to come here immediately. You can wait here for a moment."

Saying that, the director went out to make a phone call.

However, the call he made was not to their lawyers, but to their chairman.

"Chairman, Bidegla has agreed to our request, and said to go directly to Laura Group and mention his name." The director spoke, unable to understand why their usually stingy chairman was being so generous.

"Are you confused?" It seemed like the chairman understood the director's thoughts, as his voice came through the phone.

"Yes, exchanging such a large shopping mall for a chance at cooperation is too risky." The director nodded, without any hesitation.

"That's why I always say that your achievements are limited. In business, you need to have great boldness. This is our group's chance to rise. As long as we connect with Laura Group, not to mention a shopping mall, I would not hesitate to give Bidegla even a subsidiary of my company."

"But is a chance really that valuable?" The director still asked, full of doubt.

"Of course it is valuable. Our group has been doing business in Zhuhai City and several nearby cities with no breakthrough. So if Laura can help us, it's possible for us to rise. Compared to the benefits of the entire group, is a shopping mall worth it?" Laughter came from the other side, indicating that the chairman was in a good mood.

This time, Bidegla had found a great bargain, but for the Dalian Group, they had also found a great bargain.

So many groups wanted to connect with Laura, even the Hanni Group had never cooperated with them. So if the Dalian Group could connect with Laura, it would be like standing on the shoulders of a giant, ready to rise at any time.

Opportunities like this were rare, so the CEO naturally had to seize it firmly.

"My friend, please take care of this matter for me. I'll treat you to dinner when you come back." The chairman's voice came through the phone, and then the call was hung up.

The decision to give away the shopping mall had been made, so the director didn't hesitate any longer and called their group's legal team.

The rest of the process went smoothly, and under their group's legal team, the transfer agreement for the shopping mall was formally enforced, belonging to Bidegla.

Without spending a penny, Bidegla obtained a large shopping mall, truly a pleasant surprise.

"CEO Dla, this shopping mall is now under your name. If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave." The director spoke.

"Go ahead." Bidegla waved his hand, not trying to keep him.

Soon, the director and their legal team left, leaving the former person in charge of the shopping mall standing on the side with a bitter smile on his face, feeling awkward and unsure of what would happen to him now that the owner had changed in the blink of an eye.

"What is your name?" Bidegla asked calmly, looking at the embarrassed man in front of him.

"I am Yakub Guyse, but you can call me Guyse," the man replied with a forced smile.

"Alright, since I am younger, I will call you Guyse brother," Bidegla said. "Guyse, as you were originally in charge here, you must have a lot of management experience. Now, I want you to assist my brother in managing the entire market."

Upon hearing this, Yakub Guyse's heart suddenly sank. It seemed that he was being demoted.

Seeing Yakub Guyse's expression, Bidegla suddenly smiled and said, "Guyse, don't worry. I won't demote you. You are in your current position now, and you will remain in that position. I won't be around much, so my brother is the real boss here. Do you understand?"

"Yes, I understand," Yakub Guyse nodded, relieved as long as he wasn't demoted.

"Guyse, assist my brother well in managing this place. I will not mistreat you in terms of compensation. I will increase your salary by fifty percent from what you originally received. Will that satisfy you?" Bidegla asked.

"Very satisfied," Yakub Guyse nodded, feeling greatly content. A fifty percent increase meant a substantial rise in income, a significant amount.

Pyotr Haler, observing Bidegla's ability to completely win over Yakub Guyse with just a few words, was greatly impressed. Bidegla's skill in winning hearts was truly remarkable, and it seemed that Yakub Guyse would not be able to drive him away in the future.

"Brother, this is all I can do to help you. You can stay here from now on. Here's a million in this card, find a decent place to live instead of staying in a hotel," Bidegla said, handing a bank card to Pyotr Haler.

"No, I can't accept this money," Pyotr Haler shook his head, refusing to take the card. Bidegla had already bought such a large market, and although no money had been spent, it was still an incredible gift in Pyotr Haler's mind. Therefore, he couldn't bring himself to accept any more money from Bidegla.

"I have some money from the sale of my house, so I can take care of my own accommodation," Pyotr Haler shook his head, indicating that he had some money.

"Alright, suit yourself. I will be leaving Bamboo Sea City for a while. If you encounter any problems you can't solve, call this number," Bidegla said, giving Pyotr Haler Stuart Buzer's phone number.

In Bamboo Sea City, only his senior brother would help him without question, so Bidegla had to make sure everything was taken care of in advance.

"Alright, if you have things to do, go ahead. You don't need to worry about me. With this market, I will have plenty to keep me busy," Pyotr Haler said with a satisfied smile.

Finally, Bidegla left the Grand Ocean Market and left Pyotr Haler there. He also gave him the contract he had signed earlier, as it was of no use to him.

In any case, Pyotr Haler had handled this matter well, and now it was time to deal with the former gang member, Xiao Wu.

This was the person Bidegla had called in specifically to protect Jennie Laura and the others, so he naturally had to take care of him before leaving.
