Liu ng used to boast from the bottom of her heart, unable to contain her excitent. This ti, however, she had to lie without even having t Young Master Sheng.
And she had to make it sound convincing.
This suddenly put her in a difficult position.
The other wealthy ladies noticed her discomfort and exchanged glances before deliberately asking, "We didn't get a chance to ask the other day, how did Madam Zhou co to know Young Master Qin?"
"Oh, well, it's mainly because my daughter goes to the sa school as Young Master Qin," Liu ng replied.
"..." Wasn't that stating the obvious? Apart from a few adult children sent abroad, weren't all their kids in the sa school as Young Master Qin?
They beca increasingly convinced that Liu ng was lying.
Before they could continue to expose her lie, Liu ng spoke up again.
"Young Master Sheng is also at the sa school as my daughter," she said.
Again, wasn't this just stating the obvious?
And why suddenly bring up Young Master Sheng out of nowhere?
Liu ng knew her introduction was abrupt, but she pressed on, "My husband had dinner with Young Master Sheng just yesterday."
Everyone was stunned.
Was she dreaming?
What kind of fantasy was this? Her husband had no business dealings with Sheng Corporation. Why on earth would Young Master Sheng have dinner with her husband? Did he think he was that important?
Liu ng tried to ignore their stares and continued, "When he ca ho, he even bought several Chanel items."
"Look, this is one of them," Liu ng lightly tapped the mini flap bag at her waist.
Liu ng's words seed disjointed, lacking a strong connection between the beginning and end.
But it was precisely this vagueness that sparked imagination.
So much so that when the conversation moved on, Madam Liu could barely focus on anything else.
As soon as the gathering ended, she imdiately called her husband, saying, "I don't think Liu ng is lying. She suddenly ntioned that her husband had dinner with the Sheng family's heir. Even lies should have limits. This is as absurd as saying the Arican President wants to date ."
"Is it possible that sothing so outlandish... could actually be true?" Madam Liu voiced her speculation.
"It is strange. Most people in our circle know that Sheng Corporation and Qin Corporation don't get along. If she were making up connections, she shouldn't have included both of them. Could they really know each other? But how would Liu ng know them?" her husband pondered.
"She said... her daughter goes to the sa school as these two young masters."
"How old is her daughter?"
"Seven or eight, I think?"
"Then what could it have to do with her daughter? If she were seventeen or eighteen, I might believe her daughter was so beautiful she captivated both young masters. But this is odd. Try to get more information out of Liu ng," President Liu instructed before hanging up.
Soone knocked on the door.
He looked up towards the entrance: "Co in."
Zhou General walked in.
President Liu glanced at the docunts in his hand and feigned surprise: "Why did you co to deliver these yourself, Zhou General?"
Zhou General replied, "Important docunts are best delivered personally." With that, he left.
President Liu opened the file and his expression froze, his eyes nearly popping out of their sockets.
The docunt was titled—
Notice of Share Transfer.
As Zhou General walked out, he felt a weight lift from his shoulders.
After all, he had already stepped
out of the room.
Now it was President Liu's turn to feel anxious and uneasy.
Had Zhou Qiang gone mad?
Didn't Liu ng say he had just had dinner with Sheng Yuxiao?
Shouldn't the gaming license be even more certain now? Shouldn't Zhou Qiang have walked in triumphantly to share the good news? Why was he presented with this instead?
According to normal procedures, when a shareholder sells their shares, they should inform other shareholders in advance, and other shareholders have the right of first refusal based on their shareholding ratio.
He knew full well that I wanted to control the company, yet he dangled this opportunity right in front of .
The words "right of first refusal" can be a good thing in good tis.
But in bad tis, it could be honey laced with arsenic.
Various thoughts tumbled through President Liu's mind, and he finally arrived at the most plausible possibility—
Regardless of the channel, Zhou General had indeed established connections with both the Qin and Sheng families. But after visiting these two families, he must have received so bad news. Perhaps the gaming license was definitely unattainable, or maybe even more terrifying news, like a policy tightening that would plunge the gaming industry into a harsh winter...
Otherwise, he wouldn't have beco so discouraged in such a short ti, deciding to sell his shares and bail out!
President Liu's expression went through a series of changes as he thought to himself, "In that case, I can't accept this hot potato!"
anwhile, in a different atmosphere altogether.
Outside the music classroom, Li Xiaoya refused Qin Sui, saying, "We can't continue this business."
"Why not? I'm even willing to be your 'supplier' now."
"People who are willing to spend so much won't always be around."
Qin Sui couldn't argue. Li Xiaoya was too clear-headed.
"Besides, this isn't good."
"Hmm? What's not good about it?" Qin Sui pressed.
Li Xiaoya looked at him: "I don't know how to explain it, but I feel... it's not good, not good for you."
Qin Sui was taken aback: "Not good for ?"
His subtle disappointnt vanished, replaced by curiosity. He asked, "Hmm? Why do you say it's not good for ? You should know that getting those things is effortless for ."
"When you have too much of sothing, it loses its value, right?" Li Xiaoya asked him.
The corners of Qin Sui's mouth curved slightly: "Yes, that's the principle. Do you think if we sell too much, those so-called luxury goods will lose their value? Or..."
"Your... um... um..." Li Xiaoya looked up, seriously thinking about the word, and finally said, "Your prestige, no, your face, will lose its value."
Qin Sui stared at her and asked very seriously, "Can I pat your head?"
Li Xiaoya: ?
Why this sudden request to pat her head?
Seeing her unmoved expression, Qin Sui said softly, "Yesterday, after you left with Sheng Yuxiao, I actually waited for you in the classroom for a long ti."
The implication was clear: So, can I pat your head now? I waited for you for a long ti.
Li Xiaoya rcilessly burst his bubble: "But even if you weren't waiting for , you would have stayed there for evening self-study anyway. I heard high school students all have evening self-study sessions."
Qin Sui: "..."
He wanted to ask why she had to be so smart.
But he also knew that if Li Xiaoya wasn't this intelligent, he truly wouldn't have given her a second glance.
"Let's not talk about that then. Let's talk about the ti in Li Family Village when Li Hongguang took you away, and I ca to find you. That took so effort. And then at the banquet so ti ago..."
Before Qin Sui could finish reminiscing, Li Xiaoya said, "Let treat you to a al."
Qin Sui was very satisfied.
After all, for a girl who was passionate about eating in the cafeteria and adamantly refused to waste a penny of her tuition fees, to voluntarily offer to treat him to a al was an incredibly significant step forward!
Qin Sui responded with a "Okay."
Then Li Xiaoya led him to the cafeteria.
"You're treating to... this?"
Li Xiaoya asked in confusion: "Isn't it good enough?" She pointed at the signs of various small restaurants in the cafeteria: "There are cuisines from many countries here. It's very rich. I can treat you to a world tour of food!"
This was Li Xiaoya's unique way of being generous.
Qin Sui was both helpless and amused.
He nodded slightly: "Mm, thank you, Li Xiaoya, for letting taste cuisines from around the world without having to fly across seven continents and four oceans."
He was quite appreciative of the gesture.
