Chapter 731: Don’t You Also Have Ulterior Motives

“I don’t mind, of course I don’t mind.”

The secretary served tea and went out. Li Qianxue looked at Luo Cheng and said, “Alright, what’s the matter? You can tell me now.”

“There is indeed something.” Luo Cheng looked at Li Qianxue. He was not in a hurry to speak. Instead, he picked up the tea in front of him and took a sip.

Li Qianxue was not in a hurry either. It was much more reassuring for him to have something to ask than to have nothing to ask for.

“Take a look at this first.” Luo Cheng took out a proposal and placed it on Li Qianxue’s table.

Li Qianxue picked it up but was not in a hurry to open it.

“This is our latest project. We need investors.”

Luo Cheng spoke neither hurriedly nor slowly. In fact, they did indeed need investors. This project was the reason why he wanted to separate from Luo Ming and was unwilling to continue running Luoxing Market.

Li Qianxue was not surprised. The Li family had a superior position in Lin City. Every year, God knows how many people, hoping that the Li Corporation would be willing to invest in them, send all kinds of planning documents and business proposals.

She opened the planning documents that Luo Cheng brought. The Li Corporation had a wide range of projects. In addition to real estate, there were also e-commerce, electronic products, and investment companies.

Li Qianxue was in charge of the Li Corporation’s investment company. They would be responsible for picking out the projects that were suitable to make money.

The proposal was very thick. It could be seen that the other party had done his homework. Li Qianxue put the proposal aside. “If you don’t mind, how about I give you an answer after I understand it?”

“You can read it first. Then you can consider it.”

Luo Cheng had a faint smile on his face. He was not afraid that Li Qianxue would reject the proposal.

First, they would work together on official matters. Then, he would slowly dispel Li Qianxue’s worries and let her slowly accept him. This was also one of his plans.

Li Qianxue glanced at him and finally picked up the proposal to read it.

She was looking at the proposal, and Luo Cheng was looking at her. Li Qianxue was beautiful. Back in Lin City, she had tons of suitors.

But no one expected Li Qianxue to find a poor boy in the end.

The combination of Li Qianxue and Su Chenghui almost shocked the entire Lin City.

While Luo Cheng was absent-minded, Li Qianxue had already finished reading the proposal. She did not look at it in detail, but only took a brief look.

“The data is well done, and the analysis is in place. It seems that the prospects are also very promising.”

Luo Cheng had a confident smile on his face. He was not considered outstanding, and he had the typical aura of a forty-something-year-old businessman. The shrewdness that occasionally appeared in his eyes made Li Qianxue dislike him, but she would not deny the other party’s proposal.

“However, you know that I am not the only one in charge of Guangyuan investment. I need to explain to the shareholders and the board of directors. So, keep this proposal of yours. I will give you an answer in a week.”

“Okay.” Luo Cheng nodded with a look of understanding. “I’ll wait for your good news.”

After the official business was finished, Luo Cheng was not in a hurry to leave. “It’s almost time for dinner. Why don’t we have a meal together?”

“No need. I have something to do later.”

“What a pity. I was thinking that if there’s a chance, we could continue our conversation during dinner.”

His eyes filled with pity, Luo Cheng stood up as he spoke. “It looks like it can only be next time.”

Li Qianxue did not respond. She could not guarantee when the next time would be. After all, the current Luo Cheng was no different from an ordinary investor to her.

“Then you go ahead. I’m leaving first.”

Although Luo Cheng had a purpose, he was not in a hurry. He was patient.

Li Qianxue stood up politely. At this time, the internal line rang and Yang Rong’s voice was heard.

“President Li, President Su is here.”

Su Chenghui?

Li Qianxue was stunned for a moment. She was not surprised when she thought of the recent meetings with Su Chenghui because of the project.

“Let him in.”

She did not notice the slight change in Luo Cheng’s expression after she said that.

When Su Chenghui came in, Luo Cheng had already changed his face.

Su Chenghui did not come in empty-handed. He rushed to the Li Corporation from the construction site. When he passed by a flower shop, he suddenly made Qiao Ran stop the car.

It was not until he had a bouquet of roses in his hand that he realized it was his first time doing such a thing.

“Sir, is it a special anniversary for you to buy roses? Do you need our help to write a card?”

“No. There’s no need to write a card. Just help me wrap it up.” Su Chenghui, like a little boy, suddenly had an excited feeling. “I’ll personally send it to her.”

“Your wife will be so happy.”

“No.” Su Chenghui shook his head. When he looked at the bouquet of roses, his mind was filled with Li Qianxue’s beautiful face. “I’m even happier to be able to marry her.”

It was just that in the past, he did not cherish such happiness. But in the future, he would not.

The way the flower shop staff looked at him was different. After working in the flower shop for so long, Su Chenghui did not look young. He even thought of buying flowers for his wife instead of his mistress. He was really a good man.

Su Chenghui didn’t know how good the clerk’s imagination was, but when he sat in the car and looked at the big bouquet of roses, he inexplicably began to look forward to Li Qianxue’s expression when she saw the flowers.

But unexpectedly, Luo Cheng hadn’t left yet.

“President Luo is here? What a coincidence.”

“President Su.” Luo Cheng naturally didn’t miss the roses in Su Chenghui’s hand. “President Su, are you here to discuss business?”

He roughly knew how Li Qianxue felt about Su Chenghui. He did not think that Li Qianxue would accept Su Chenghui’s actions.

Su Chenghui did not answer Luo Cheng’s question. “President Luo, are you here for business as well?”

Luo Cheng’s face finally showed some embarrassment because of Su Chenghui’s question.

“Yes. It’s also business.”

“Then didn’t I come at a bad time? Are you guys done talking?”

Li Qianxue didn’t say anything until now. “We’re done talking.”

Luo Cheng had no reason to stay. He looked at the flowers in Su Chenghui’s hand and felt a bit unwillingly, but he also knew his own strength at the moment.

“Yes, we’re done talking. Then, President Li, I’ll leave first.”

“Please.” Li Qianxue stood in her original position and didn’t move. No matter how unwilling Luo Cheng was, he still walked forward step by step.

The office door closed. Su Chenghui took the bouquet of roses and walked to Li Qianxue. “This is for you.”

Li Qianxue stood still. Luo Cheng was here just now, so she couldn’t show any emotion towards the flowers in Su Chenghui’s hands.

“What do you mean?”

“Nothing. I just want to give you a bouquet of flowers.”

“Su Chenghui, I don’t think we need to have any other communication besides business.”

“I just want to give you a bouquet of flowers. It has nothing to do with business or personal matters.”

Su Chenghui placed the bouquet of flowers in front of Li Qianxue. “You don’t have to be too nervous.”

“I’m not nervous. I don’t believe that I need to accept this bouquet of flowers from you.” When Li Qianxue spoke, there was a hint of mockery on her face. “Is this a sudden compensation? Or do you regret it?”

“Qianxue.” Su Chenghui took a step forward and circled behind the desk. He placed the bouquet of flowers in Li Qianxue’s hand. “I have indeed been regretting it. I have also been blaming myself for missing out on a lot of things. There are a lot of things that I haven’t done well, and there are also a lot of things that I haven’t done together with you. I know that you won’t give me a chance, and I know that you won’t forgive me

“You’ll think that I’m giving you the flowers because I want to make it up to you, but what I’m doing has nothing to do with regret or compensation.”

He let go of the bouquet, and Li Qianxue had no choice but to catch it. He looked into her eyes, and his gaze was gentle. “I just wanted to give you a bouquet of flowers, that’s all. Qianxue, in my heart, you’re just like this bouquet of roses, beautiful, charming, and mesmerizing.”

Her temperament, experience, and maturity made her look like the embodiment of a rose. It seemed normal to be moved by her.

Li Qianxue placed the flowers on the desk beside her and did not respond to Su Chenghui’s words. However, she was not angry.

She knew very well that Su Chenghui’s words were just sweet talking and were not worth believing at all. However, her heart was still beating because of his words, and she had an undetectable emotional fluctuation because of the expression in his eyes.

That emotional fluctuation was too small, and she deliberately ignored it.

“Are you done? If you’re done, you can leave.”

“I’m done, but I can’t leave.” Su Chenghui had been working hard for more than a week to get Li Qianxue to recognize his ability in official matters, so he was not here to just deliver a bouquet of flowers and then leave.

“I went to the construction site today and found a few small problems.”

“What problems?” Sure enough, when it came to official business, Li Qianxue could get into the mood almost immediately.

“Did you let Chen Pengyuan, the supervisor at the construction site, in?”

Chen Pengyuan was the son of Li Qianxue’s cousin. His ability was limited, but he could still do the job of supervisor.

This person was arranged by Old Master Li. Old Master Li was old, and his children and grandchildren were not often around. When he had nothing to do, he went to look for Old Master Li and the auntie.

Li Qianxue becameserious because of Su Chenghui’s words. “Yes, I asked him to go. What happened? What happened?”

“I went to the construction site today. I stayed at the site for about an hour, but I didn’t see Chen Pengyuan. I asked again later, and they told me that Chen Pengyuan was often not at the construction site. Every day, except for that time in the morning, I couldn’t find him at all. Today, a batch of steel came, but they couldn’t find him when they wanted to find someone to sign it.”

Li Qianxue’s expression suddenly became serious. “Is there such a thing?”

Chen Pengyuan was always there when she went to the construction site a few times before.

“Yes. I even asked around among the workers. They all told me that Chen Pengyuan was there every morning, but he often ran away in the afternoon.”

“Qianxue, it’s true that the Li Corporation is the Li family’s, so you have to make favors, and it’s reasonable for you to arrange some people to come in. However, for a project like City Star, if there isn’t a suitable supervisor, if no one is responsible to the end, then how can City Star become the benchmark of Lin City?”

Li Qianxue was silent. She had always separated official matters from private matters. Su Chenghui’s words were reasonable.

“I understand. I will pay attention to this matter.”

“After paying attention?” Su Chenghui looked at Li Qianxue. He didn’t believe that she didn’t know the seriousness of this matter. “Do you plan to just warn him? Or rather, criticize him?”

Originally, Wang Tao had said that he would arrange for supervisors, but because this project was led by the Li Corporation, Wang Tao naturally respected and trusted Li Qianxue. So, some of the subsequent work arrangements were mainly made by the Li Corporation.

Li Qianxue didn’t say anything. Old Master Li valued family ties, and Chen Pengyuan was her cousin’s son. With this premise, if Chen Pengyuan was fired, her father wouldn’t be able to explain it.

However, she would not allow anyone to work with such a casual attitude under her nose.

“I know what to do. Don’t worry, I know how to deal with it.”

Su Chenghui did not have anything to worry about. Li Qianxue had always been cold-blooded. She wouldn’t take matters personally. No matter who introduced the employees, she would not give face to anyone who had made mistakes under her.

“Is there anything else?”

“Yes.”S u Chenghui looked at the time. It was almost time to get off work. “I want to treat you to a meal.”

“Sorry, I’m not free.” Li Qianxue rejected him without even thinking. “I want to go home to accompany my father.”

Su Yuxin and Su Qingsang were not in Lin City to begin with. As his daughter, if she did not accompany Old Master Li often, Old Master Li would be even lonelier.

“That’s good. I haven’t played chess with Dad in a long time. Why don’t we play together? I also want to ask Dad for advice.”

“Who are you calling Dad?” Li Qianxue glared at him. She looked imposing, but Su Chenghui only thought that her blinking was very cute.

“I’m sorry. I’m used to it. It’s hard to change my way of address.”

Li Qianxue did not speak. In fact, if Su Chenghui changed his name to Old Master Li or uncle, she would feel even more awkward.

“My dad doesn’t have time to talk to you. You don’t have to look for him.”

As she spoke, she tidied up her desk. Su Chenghui saw the proposal in her hand. He thought about it for a moment and reached out to take it.

Li Qianxue couldn’t stop him in time. “Su Chenghui, you are no longer a member of the Li Corporation. You Don’t seem to have the right to read the documents of the Li Corporation, right?”

“This doesn’t seem to be a document of the Li Corporation?” Su Chenghui shook the proposal.

“Although it isn’t, it is now in the Li Corporation. It is on my desk. Please put it down.”

Su Chenghui was not in a hurry to put it down. Instead, he opened it and skimmed through it. “This should be Luo Cheng’s proposal, right? He came to you because he wants you to invest in him?”

Li Qianxue took the proposal back from his hand. “Does it have anything to do with you?”

“Of course.” Su Chenghui nodded. “After all, he seems to have bad intentions. I have to evaluate him for you. What exactly is his intention?”

“Su Chenghui, don’t treat me like a child. I have the ability to distinguish right from wrong. I also know what kind of plan can make money and what kind of plan can bring benefits to the corporation.”

“Of course you know, but you won’t know the evil of men. I don’t believe that you can’t see that Luo Cheng has ulterior motives.”

“Is that so?” Li Qianxue sneered and put away the proposal and documents into the drawer. “Whether Luo Cheng has ulterior motives, I don’t know now, but I can be sure that you must have ulterior motives.”
