Chapter 474: Chapter 473 Deep Hatred
After all, he didn’t have any deep grudges against Liu Corporation, and it wouldn’t be possible for the other party to offend the entire Liu Corporation just because of him.
Unless the person was mad or had water in their brain.
However, since the other party had given him five minutes to think, he had to make a choice.
Liu Zheng was also pondering what to do.
Liu Zheng was still the CEO of Liu Corporation at the moment.
Although he wasn’t particularly fond of managing company affairs, he knew a bit about the rules of the business world. Since the other party had given him time to consider, as long as he agreed to their conditions, they probably wouldn’t make things difficult for him.
But the fact that they had asked him to withdraw from the race for the chairman of Liu Corporation meant they doubted his abilities.
Otherwise, with his capabilities, he wouldn’t need to leave Liu Corporation at all.
So who exactly was the other party?
Liu Zheng became increasingly agitated the more he thought about it.
Suddenly, he remembered something important.
Liu Corporation had recently acquired a new jewelry company called "Baihua Banquet."
This time, the Baihua Banquet was mainly to celebrate the blooming of lilies, which was why they had organized this event.
Moreover, the lily flower has a relatively short growth cycle, so there are only about ten days of blooming season each year.
And this year, there were only two or three months left before the start of the Baihua Banquet.
During this time, Liu Zheng had to find a place that could replace the Baihua Banquet.
Liu Zheng knew that there were many exquisite items in the Baihua Banquet, including many unique jewelry pieces in the world.
And the lily flower was the most suitable replacement for the Baihua Banquet.
It’s just that Liu Zheng currently had no funds on hand, so he had to go to the bank for a loan.
And Liu Corporation’s bank was the largest bank in the country.
Liu Zheng knew that the amount of the loan would be substantial, but with the bank’s help, he would easily be able to obtain the funds.
Thinking this, Liu Zheng decided to go to the bank as soon as possible.
The priority was to figure out the exact location of the Baihua Banquet.
Moreover, he didn’t have any money on him now, so he could only go to the bank after work.
Liu Zheng thought for a long time but couldn’t come up with any good ideas.
Just then, a knock sounded on the door of the office.
Liu Zheng checked the time. It was already four in the afternoon; it seemed the other person was probably about to get off work.
Liu Zheng stood up and opened the door of his office.
However, as soon as he stepped out of the office door, his eyes widened in surprise.
Because a car was stopped in front of him.
And a girl got out of the car.
The girl was dressed in a white blouse, black slacks, and a beige trench coat.
Her long hair draped over her shoulders, her skin was snow-white, and her face was prettier beyond compare.
This was a stunner!
Liu Zheng couldn’t help but admire her in his heart.
It was truly the first time he had seen such an exceptionally beautiful person.
Not only that, the person also gave off a very familiar feeling.
Liu Zheng had always had high standards.
He never kept a strange woman by his side, let alone one with such outstanding looks and an ethereal demeanor, who also gave him such a warm feeling.
"May I ask who you are?" Liu Zheng inquired.
The girl simply smiled and replied, "My name is Li Xin."
Hearing her name, Liu Zheng suddenly realized.
It was Li Xin!
What was she doing at the company?
Li Xin, who was she?
She was indeed Li Fei’s sister; he had once had an interaction with her.
Furthermore, Li Xin had once helped him out in a significant way.
"Oh, oh, you are Sister Xin, hello, hello," Liu Zheng greeted her enthusiastically.
"Sister Xin, here is my business card," Liu Zheng handed her his business card. "If you need anything, feel free to contact me."
"Sure,"
Li Xin took Liu Zheng’s business card and nodded slightly with a smile.
However, just at that moment, Liu Zheng’s mind received a system notification.
Ding~
System: "Task Completion +2."
Task completion reached 100%, reward: 100 points, 1000 skill points, 500 copper coins, 100 ingots.
Hearing the system’s voice, Liu Zheng’s face immediately revealed an ecstatic expression.
He had never expected that the task completion would actually reach 100%.
And to be rewarded one hundred points and 200 skill points was just fantastic!
As for Li Xin, after hearing the system’s notification sound, the corners of her mouth couldn’t help but twitch.
"Hello, my name is Li Xin, I look forward to your care in the future," Li Xin said politely.
"Hehe, not at all, not at all, Miss Li Xin, you’re too kind," Liu Zheng quickly replied.
"Hmm." Li Xin nodded, "You haven’t eaten yet, have you? Let me take you out to dinner."
"That..." Liu Zheng hesitated for a moment.
He was indeed very hungry, and besides, at this late hour, going to a restaurant by himself would attract attention.
Furthermore, he was concerned that she might have ulterior motives and was trying to take advantage of him.
It seemed Li Xin guessed Liu Zheng’s thoughts, "I know what you’re worried about, but you don’t have to worry at all. I am a very trustworthy person. Since you’ve agreed to have dinner, I will certainly keep my promise."
Hearing Li Xin’s words, Liu Zheng immediately felt relieved.
Since she had said that, what reason did he have to refuse?
Moreover, since she was so beautiful, he was even less able to refuse.
"Well, then thank you," he said.
"No need to be so formal," Li Xin said with a smile, shaking her head. "Let’s go."
Then, Li Xin led Liu Zheng to her Audi R8 sports car.
Inside the car.
Li Xin glanced at Liu Zheng, then started the car.
Seeing this, Liu Zheng couldn’t help but ask, "Where are we going?"
"My place," Li Xin said simply.
Hearing her response, Liu Zheng was momentarily stunned.
He hadn’t expected that she lived alone.
But he didn’t say much.
It was just a meal after all, and she was a beautiful woman. If he refused again, it might seem ungentlemanly.
Moreover, she had given him money and invited him to dinner, so he ought to express his gratitude.
So, Liu Zheng nodded.
The Audi R8 sports car quickly entered the bustling city center and arrived at a high-end residential complex.
Liu Zheng got out of the car and looked up.
Although she had referred to it as home, he hadn’t noticed that this complex was mostly inhabited by the wealthy.
After all, sports cars like the Audi R8 are considered luxury items in this city.
And through Li Xin’s introduction, Liu Zheng learned her name—Li Fei.
Li Xin came from an affluent family and was a young lady in Jiangzhou.
It was said that Li Fei had been learning the piano since she was young and had now been admitted to Jiangnan University for postgraduate studies.
In any case, the name had a very attractive pull to it.
"Welcome back." Just as Liu Zheng was sizing up the house, a gentle voice suddenly floated down from the stairs.
Liu Zheng turned his head to see Li Fei standing on the stairs waving at him.
Liu Zheng was slightly startled, then hurriedly walked up.
Seeing Liu Zheng coming up, Li Fei smiled slightly, "Let’s go sit inside."
Liu Zheng didn’t refuse; he followed her up the stairs.
They entered the elevator and pressed for the eighteenth floor.
Liu Zheng saw Li Fei standing in front of a door, reaching out to push the door open.
The room was filled with a variety of decorative items, diverse and dazzling to Liu Zheng’s eyes.
"Come in," Li Fei said with a smile.
"Oh, okay."
Liu Zheng stepped inside.
Inside the room, apart from the luxurious decoration, there were some bookshelves.
Next to the bookshelves, there were several chairs.
"Please have a seat," Li Fei said, pointing to one of the chairs.
