    When Lira heard what Ye Tianxin said, she shouted, “What nonsense. How can my father go to the Empire to build a hotel? The Empire is so poor. Why would anyone want to live there?”


    Ye Tianxin thought to herself, “Young people are so ignorant.”


    Within less than two years, the Empire would rule the world. The shopping malls and hotels in foreign countries would bow to the people in the Empire for their business. They had to pander to the whims and fancies of the Empire.


    “Ms. Lira, is that what you think, or is that what your father thinks?”


    Lira thought that this might be a trap. She hesitated for a moment before replying, “Of course, it represents both our views.”


    “I see.”


    Ye Tianxin immediately took out her cell phone and called Xie Xuning, who was still in the Empire. “Dad, I heard that the Lira Group ns to build a five-star hotel in the Empire. If they want our money, we should be clear about one thing to them.”


    Lira did not expect Ye Tianxin to call Xie Xuning.


    She smiled broadly and took Sophie’s hand.


    “Youin to your father over a little argument. How long has it been since west did such a childish thing?”


    Sophie let out a mockingugh. “That’s right.”


    After Ye Tianxin hung up the phone, she turned to look at Lira with a provocative smile.


    The banquet was organized by Shi Han.


    As the host, Ye Tianxin should’ve been more polite to those ignorant girls.


    However, where the Empire was concerned, Ye Tianxin had to make her stand. She would not allow anyone to insult her country.


    She was a citizen of the Empire. She was born in the Empire. Nothing could ever change that fact.


    While the Empire was not a perfect country, she could not tolerate foreigners attacking the Empire and criticizing its weaknesses.


    Everyone had his shorings and strengths, but she would always believe that the Empire was the best country.


    Ten minutester, Lira received a phone call from her father.


    “Dad.”


    Mr. Lira asked, “Lira, what did you do at the party?”


    Lira, bewildered by her father’s question, answered innocently, “I didn’t do anything.”


    “Are you sure you didn’t do anything? Why did the Empire suddenly restrict our entry to the country? We had invested 10 billion dors upfront so we could build a hotel in the Empire. Do you want all that money to be spent on nothing?”


    When Lira heard what her father said, she gave Ye Tianxin a harsh re. Ye Tianxin didn’t look very fazed by it.


    Just a minute ago, she was sneering at Ye Tianxin forining to her father over a small matter.


    Now, Lira realized that Ye Tianxin’sint had cost her family 10 billion dors.


    Her family may have been filthy rich, but 10 billion dors was an astronomical amount of money.


    Lira was used to being spoiled since she was a child.


    She walked up to Ye Tianxin and asked, “Ye Tianxin, this is between us. Why did you get my father involved?”


    Ye Tianxin used her napkin to wipe the corner of her mouth. “Ms. Lira, didn’t you say that the people in the Empire can’t even afford to buy eggs? If that’s the case, then we could never afford your five-star hotel. I’m doing your family a favor. I can’t possibly make you lose money here, right?”


    Rage flowed through Lira’s veins.
