Chapter 144 Negotiation with Li Jingshen

Walking out of the company, a refreshing breeze blew in the lingering heat of the evening sun. Shen Zhichu's chaotic brain was instantly awakened by the cool breeze, but his stomach also felt uncomfortable.

She needed to find a place to sit quickly. Shen Zhichu looked at Li Jingshen's car and walked over quickly.

Li Jingshen put out his cigarette, opened the car door and sat in the driver's seat. After watching Shen Zhichu get in the car and fasten her seat belt, he threw a bag on the back seat to her.

Shen Zhichu held the bag, which was still warm: "What is this?"

"Open it and take a look."

Shen Zhichu opened the bag and found a cup of porridge inside. It was packed very tightly and Li Jingshen didn't knock it over even when he threw it to her so roughly.

"I heard from Zhao Qian that you didn't eat much at noon." Li Jingshen paused and continued, "You have a bad stomach. A medicinal porridge shop just opened nearby. I tried it and it's pretty good. This is their main dish, the stomach-nourishing porridge."

Chen Zhichu was not pretentious. She was worried that her stomach would get sick after working all day. She had vomited blood once in the morning and was afraid to vomit again in front of Li Jingshen.

Chen Zhichu inserted the straw and the temperature was just right, not burning his mouth.

Li Jingshen glanced at her out of the corner of his eye, then drove the car out with his hands on the steering wheel.

After driving onto the smooth road, Li Jingshen asked, "Do you want the Qin family to participate in the Nanshui Island project?"

Shen Zhichu said "hmm" in a neither light nor heavy tone.

Li Jingshen had two guesses in his mind. One was that Shen Zhichu knew about his plan to target the Qin family.

Second, when she first said she wanted to take over the Nanshui Island project, it was not because she was free but because she wanted to pave the way for the Qin family.

So is she doing this for the Qin family, or just for Qin Mo?

He would not be satisfied with either answer. He hoped that Shen Zhichu could spend more time on him rather than on an insignificant business.

As for the latter result, when she thought that she did this for Qin Mo, a sour feeling welled up in her chest, and she felt like the world was boiling with anger.

Shen Zhichu was not afraid of Li Jingshen's gloomy look. After drinking a few mouthfuls of porridge, her stomach warmed up a little and felt much better than before. She also had the strength to fight Li Jingshen.

Shen Zhichu said: “During dinner the day before yesterday, Shen Xiuli told me about your targeting of the Qin family.”

It is indeed like this... Li Jingshen frowned unconsciously.

Shen Zhichu drank half a cup of porridge, put the bag away and sat there like a Buddha statue, with his head turned toward the car window. The lines of his profile looked soft in the dim light, and the high ponytail he had tied in the morning had now fallen down.

The tightly pursed lips and half-closed eyes reminded Li Jingshen of her appearance in the hospital, and the words Zhao Qian said to him echoed in his ears.

Women are made of water, so you should follow them.

They say women are easy to coax, but he doesn't think so. How can Shen Zhichu be made of water? She is clearly a fire that doesn't care about other people's feelings at all, just burning people to pieces.

"What if I don't agree to Qin's participation?"

Shen Zhichu looked at him, forced a smile, and said softly, "My mother died early. Except for my grandfather, my father and brother in the Shen family all regarded me as a thorn in their side and wished I would die sooner. During my unhappy childhood, the Qin family was my safe haven. They treated me like family."

"Li Jingshen, I know why you are targeting the Qin family. Now that I know, I will make amends. People should not forget their roots and should know how to repay kindness."

If it weren't for Qin's, she wouldn't have come to work at Li's at all. In the past two days, in order to please Li Jingshen, she carefully considered every word she said, for fear that she would accidentally upset him and disrupt all her plans.

Shen Zhichu lowered his head and took out a document from his bag. "I admit that I took on this project with personal feelings, but I won't let my emotions get in the way of my work. These are the companies Qin has chosen so far, and I've already marked out their pros and cons."
