Chapter 71 - Perhaps She Was Too Sensitive (2/2)
After patting her face a few times with lotion to dismiss her thought, Li Qin Yao went into bed to sleep.

The next morning, Li Qin Yao woke up early and took a cab to head over to Li's Residence. She accompanied her grandmother and chatted for a while before she headed to her grandfather's office to discuss the project.
Surprisingly, when she walked in into the office, her cousin, Li Mu Bai had come as well.
”I'm here to discuss a few things regarding your project,” Li Mu Bai explained when he saw the questioning look in Li Qin Yao's face.
Li Ren Xin coughed to ease the discomfort between them. ”I asked Mu Bai to come and discuss as well. Yao Yao, come over and seat.”
Li Qin Yao nodded. She walked over to the sofa and sat down next to Liang Sheng. Soon, the four of them continued their discussion on the project. After arguing and haggling with both Li Mu Bai and her grandfather on the conditions, the three of them finally came to a conclusion that would satisfy each party.
As Li Qin Yao read the documents in her hand, her brain started to work on a plan to tackle a few matters as soon as she returned to B City. She turned to Liang Sheng and gave him a few instructions.
”Your grandmother had prepared something for lunch,” Li Ren Xin spoke after a while. He glanced at his grandchild and continued, ”the two of you should stay and accompany your grandmother more often.”
”Yes, grandfather,” both Li Qin Yao and Li Mu Bai nodded obediently.
”Liang Sheng, you should join us as well,” Li Ren Xin continued.
”Thank you for your invitation, Chairman Li, but I have made an appointment with my father,” Liang Sheng rejected politely. ”Besides, I still have to catch my flight back to B City in a few hours.”
Chairman Li nodded and spoke a few more words to Liang Sheng before deciding to send him off to the door, leaving both Li Qin Yao and Li Mu Bai in the office.
”When are you going back to B City?” Li Mu Bai spoke as he watched Li Qin Yao gathering the documents on the table.
”Tomorrow morning.”
”That early?”
”I have a lot to do after you and grandfather had set up these conditions,” Li Qin Yao said as she waved the documents in her hand.
”Sorry.”
Li Qin Yao looked up at his sudden apology and met her cousin's gaze.
”I didn't really want to set up too many conditions and limit the budget for that project. It was a good and profitable project,” Li Mu Bai spoke and frown. ”But those conditions. They were the only way I know to protect you. Yao Yao, you know that my mother did not agree to let you manage this project. If it was up to her, she would let my sister do it. But at least with this limit budgets, Mu Chen will not dare to accept the project even if my mother insist for her to accept it.”
Li Qin Yao was surprised to hear his words. However, after analyzing what Li Mu Bai had said, she understood why he had limited the budget, and asked for her to find investors on her own. ”You're not afraid I would reject those conditions and the project altogether?”
A small smile appeared on Li Mu Bai's lips. ”We have worked together for years. I know you. You would not reject the project once you see the potential in it. Besides, even if it seemed like you were at a disadvantage, I know that you can do it.”
