24 You’re What I Wan (2/2)
Unless she belonged to him.
Unless she chose to go to him.
He was candid, forthright and intense with his seducing. He couldn't be more straightforward.
The blush deepened on Lin Qian's face.
She lifted her head and stared at him quietly.
There was sophistication in his eyes, and he sat there like a statue.
Lin Qian remembered the night he had been sitting beside her silently, eating sweet potatoes with his hands moving forward and backward.
”Mr. Li,” she murmured calmly, ”I've decided not to read it. I'll let myself out if there's no other business.”
She nodded at him, got up and walked to the door.
With a glimpse she could see him sitting still and staring at her. Just when she was about to walk out, she heard him call her name.
She stopped, turned her head around and smiled mildly, ”Anything else?”
He watched her quietly. ”That night was my first time kissing a woman.”
Lin Qian's heart skipped a beat, but she didn't say anything. Again, she heard his calm voice. ”And the first time I really desired a woman.”
Lin Qian suddenly looked up at him.
Damn…
He's professed his feelings!
After her dodging, instead of backing off, he'd become more outright.
Looking at his beautiful dark eyes, she felt like the whole place started to tremble with her intense heartbeat.
Okay… How am I supposed to answer?
...
The same morning, Chen Zheng sat in his office, completely dazed by Aida's sales number that had just been reported by his subordinate.
It was a bit difficult for him to believe what was happening, but the facts were real. An assumption struck him, a whimsical guess—one that made him dismay.
In the end, he finally put the pieces together after remaining silent for a long time. His facial expression changed again and again, and eventually, he sneered.
His subordinate asked, ”Mr. Chen, what should we do now?”
Chen Zheng grabbed the cup on his desk and threw it to the ground.
”'What can we do?' There's nothing we can do now,” he answered contemptuously.
He looked up at the bright winter day outside the window.
What Li Zhicheng was targeting was clear to everyone who could think straight.
SMQ's domination over the market of middle-end products had been severely challenged.
He made a promise to himself that he would definitely take it back when the Ming Sheng project was finished.
...
In the CEO's office of New Bori, after hearing what his secretaries had to say about Aida, Ning Weikai staggered, and then smiled.
”You're saying the spy we put in Aida has been arrested for changing the online data?” he asked in a whispery voice.
”Yes,” the secretary answered. ”But we can't confirm whether that's his doing or not.”
Ning Weikai's office desk shined with an incredibly dark luster. He sat behind it and flicked on his desktop. After a while, he smiled, looked up at his secretary and said, ”Yuanjun, there's competition now.”
His secretary, Yuan Jun, had been following Ning Weikai since the beginning of his career, so he understood immediately what he meant. He thought for a moment, nodded his head and said, ”This Li Zhicheng is indeed something. But even if Aida builds its reputation, it's still not New Bori's rival. If he tries to compete with us, it'll be like throwing an egg against a rock.”
Ning Weikai nodded his head. ”Yes it will. But my expertise is in suppressing the weak and sparing no one and nothing.”
Yuan Jun gave him a weak smile and handed over the documents of everyone in Aida to him.
Ning Weikai read through them. The corners of his mouth curved up as he approached the end. ”Lin Qian? The 25-year-old lady who graduated from the University of XX? The girl who looks sweet but is actually aggressive?”
”You know her, Mr. Ning?” Yuan Jun was a bit surprised.
Ning Weikai, who had his wits about everything, suddenly fell into silence, staring at the woman's face for a long time before lifting his head.
”How could I not know her? She was my first love.” He beamed. ”I completely broke her heart when we ended the relationship.”
