Chapter 204 She Always Knows Her Limits

Chapter 204 She Always Knows Her Limits

After Lin Shutang hung up the phone, he sat at the dining table in a daze for a long time.

Aunt Lu came out after cleaning up and saw her still sitting there. She smiled and said, "Madam, do you miss your husband? Don't worry, your husband will be back soon."

Lin Shutang came back to his senses: "Aunt Lu, you can tease me now, no~"

Then he got up and left.

When going upstairs, Lin Shutang held the wooden fence with her hands and thought to herself, she lied, she really missed him, very much.

But she also felt that she was really disappointing, since he had only been away for less than half a day.

However, Lin Shutang didn't dwell on this sentiment for long. Soon, her time was filled with her graduation thesis and matters in Xicheng.

There were basically no problems with the paper, except for the last small part. The tutor said it was okay, but she was not satisfied no matter how she revised it.

Although she has been involved in Xicheng's affairs for a long time, she still finds it difficult to take charge of them completely.

Fortunately, Li Yansheng must have told Chen Jinyao about this before he left, so he would come to Xicheng from time to time.

At 11 o'clock in the evening, Lin Shutang was still in Xicheng. He found some problems with the report today, and Chen Jinyao came to check it together, so he had not left yet.

After finishing, he said: "I'll take you home."

Lin Shutang accepted his kindness and said with a smile: "No need, Uncle Xie is back, I just asked him to pick me up."

As she spoke, she looked down at the time on her phone screen: "Calculating the time, it's about time."

Hearing this, Chen Jinyao nodded and said nothing more.

She has always been like this, and most of the time, she can tell the difference clearly.

It was already late, and Lin Shutang was indeed trying to avoid suspicion. Chen Jinyao was already married, and he and Li Yansheng were brothers. Even if Zhang Wanxin didn't mind, she should be aware of it.

Chen Jinyao did not leave immediately. He and Lin Shutang waited for Uncle Xie to arrive in Xicheng.

After getting in the car, Lin Shutang heard him talking to Uncle Xie beside the car: "Send me a message when you get home."

"Okay, Mr. Chen."

At five minutes past twelve, Chen Jinyao returned home. After taking a shower, he saw the message from Uncle Xie and sent a message to Li Yansheng: [She's home.]

He thought it was so late and Li Yansheng would have gone to bed, but he didn't expect his reply to pop up on the screen: [OK, thank you.]

So he immediately put down the towel and called Li Yansheng.

Chen Jinyao: "Why aren't you resting so late? Is the situation very serious?"

Li Yansheng opened the drawer, took out the cigarette case and lighter, stood up from the desk and went to the balcony.

He slowly exhaled a puff of smoke, and a cool breeze blew over him, easing his tiredness a little. "What's going on with the accounts?"

Seeing that he didn't respond to what he had just said and turned directly to Lin Shutang, Chen Jinyao raised his eyebrows and teased: "No wonder the little girl was coaxed into that state by an old man like you. She said it was unnecessary when I sent her home. She really listened to you."

Li Yansheng laughed, not paying attention to his joke. The little girl always knew her limits.

Chen Jinyao: "It's not a big problem. It's just that after Tang Yue took leave, she missed some of the accounts she had."

After that, he asked again: "Do you need help?"

What he was talking about was the matter between Su Yuwei and her son.

Li Yansheng: "No need. The old man is keeping a close eye on her, so she doesn't dare to act up lately."

"So when will you be back?"

“Not sure yet.”

Some time ago, Su Yuwei leaked the project quotes of several subsidiaries of Shang Li to outsiders and took kickbacks from them. She thought that since the project was small and it was a subsidiary, no one would notice, but Li Yansheng's people still noticed it.

However, they were too anxious and alerted the enemy. When Li Yansheng came over, the traces had already been cleaned up.

In the past, Su Yuwei didn't dare to do this. This time, she was under great pressure. The last issue with the shares and the things she had done outside were forcing her to take risks.

Li Yansheng had been having people keep an eye on Su Yuwei recently, waiting for an opportunity. Waiting for her to strike again and catch her in the act.
