Leng Zimo smiled reassuringly, "Real estate is the most profitable investment right now, and I have estimated that this project absolutely won't lose money."
He wasn't lying to her, he simply withheld some information.
It's not likely to lose money, but how much it could earn in the future was indeed something that remained to be tested.
But all the money he was using came from another project, and he didn't plan to touch Emperor View's funds. After all, Emperor View wasn't just his; it had many directors. While he had the authority to make such decisions, he didn't want to proceed in that manner.
Work is work, and feelings are feelings.
He could invest his own money in his relationship as he pleased, but not with Emperor View, for it was no longer solely his. As a man, he had to be responsible for his woman. Likewise, as the head of the company, he had to be responsible not only to himself but also to all shareholders and employees.
This was Leng Zimo's principle.
