Liu Shang then recounted the whole story of how Lu Fan had fallen out with Shanggong Group.

After saying that, he looked at the sheet music and asked a question.

"Okay, if you have a conflict with the Jiang Group, our Dongfang Group will stand on your side, and then you can go all out."

Qu Pu was surprised that everything went so smoothly. Seeing Liu Shang's angry expression, she quickly explained the purpose of her trip.

"Stop making empty promises. I know how much influence Manager Qu has in the Oriental Group. The Jiang Group is someone I can't afford to offend. If you don't help me after you've said your piece, I'll be in a very awkward position."

Liu Shang wasn't foolish enough to directly oppose Lu Fan based on Qu Pu's words alone, so he asked Qu Pu with some concern.

"Don't worry about that. Let me tell you a secret: my father is Elder Qu of the Dongfang family, and he's the absolute decision-maker in the Dongfang Group. This matter was arranged by my father for me to come and talk to you. The Jiang Group is very arrogant right now, and has repeatedly challenged the authority of the Dongfang family. We can't take direct action. I also know that President Liu has this idea, so I came to you with sincerity."

Liu Shang was still worried, but the melody score revealed the person behind him, giving Liu Shang the greatest reassurance.

"manager!"

Zhang Xinlei, who was standing next to her, had been listening the whole time, until the score directly revealed the trump card.

Zhang Xinlei sensed something was amiss and spoke up, pointing out a hint in the sheet music.

Who is this?

Hearing Zhang Xinlei's words, which were following the sheet music, Liu Shang looked at Zhang Xinlei with some doubt and asked.

"This is the assistant my father arranged for me. Xiao Zhang, you can go out first. I have some other things to discuss with President Liu."

Seeing that Liu Shang was somewhat unhappy, the sheet music also looked at Zhang Xinlei, feeling that she was getting in the way, and said to her.

"Master Qu asked me to stay by your side."

Zhang Xinlei remained stagnant regarding the musical score.

He was instructed by Master Qu to stay by the side of the score, so he didn't need to listen to the score at all.

If it weren't for Elder Qu's instructions, Zhang Xinlei wouldn't have dared to say that even if she had ten lives.

"If you listen to me, I can let you stay by my side obediently. But if you dare to talk back to me again, you know the consequences!"

Normally, Zhang Xinlei wouldn't say anything if she were in this state.

But with Liu Shang and Li Linlin watching him, he was a manager, and he had actually been contradicted by his assistant. This was incredibly embarrassing.

Having endured Zhang Xinlei's sheet music for so long, he could no longer bear it and roared at her.

"Okay, manager, I'm right at the door. Call me if you need anything."

Zhang Xinlei knew that Qu Pu was really angry, but she didn't care and wasn't afraid of Qu Pu's revenge at all. Then she looked at Liu Shang and Li Linlin in the office.

After thinking about it, I decided to give the sheet music some face, because if it didn't cooperate later, it would cause me a lot of trouble.

"You come out with me too."

Liu Shang had sent all his assistants away, there must be something he didn't want his assistants to hear, and then he spoke to Li Linlin who was standing next to him.

"Yes, Chairman."

As Liu Shang's secretary, Li Linlin knew when to be present and when not to be. She turned around and followed Zhang Xinlei out of the office, closing the door behind her.

How long have you been working as a secretary?

Zhang Xinlei, who came out first, saw that Li Linlin had also come out, and then turned to Li Linlin and asked.

"It's been a few months."

Li Lilin had no aversion to Zhang Xinlei and thought for a moment before replying.

"Is your chairman good to you?"

Zhang Xinlei seemed to remember something and continued to ask Li Linlin.

"Not bad. As soon as I joined the company, the chairman placed me as his secretary, which can be considered as a great favor to me."

Li Linlin didn't quite understand Zhang Xinlei's question, but she still answered it anyway.

"I hope so."

After listening to Li Linlin's answer, Zhang Xinlei frowned and looked at the office door.

Zhang Xinlei was puzzled, but Li Linlin couldn't explain it. She stood aside and waited for Liu Shang to finish talking so she could report what she had to say.

"Mr. Liu, your secretary is much better than my assistant. Not only can she help you with your work, but she's also so beautiful."

Watching Li Linlin's departing figure, Qu Pu almost drooled, staring at the doorway as she spoke to Liu Shang.

"Haha, Manager Qu's assistant is not bad either, isn't she a stunning beauty?"

Liu Shang glanced at the sheet music and, after hearing what he said, knew that he was interested in Li Linlin. Then he spoke to the sheet music again.

"Oh, don't even mention it. If it were an ordinary girl, I would have already won her over. My assistant was hired by my dad to keep an eye on me and protect me personally. She's skilled enough to take on five people without any problem. Do you think I would dare to get close to her?"

Hearing Liu Shang praising his assistant, he turned to look at Liu Shang with a helpless expression and said.

"I really didn't expect that! Since Manager Qu can make the decision, then our cooperation is considered complete. I need some funds tomorrow, and I will have our business manager go over there to have him sign the contract with you."

Liu Shang didn't want to say anything more to this spoiled brat; he just wanted to get rid of him as soon as possible.

"A contract is a must, after all, it gives both of us proof. By the way, who is your business manager?"

Upon hearing that Liu Shang wanted to sign a contract, Qu Pu originally intended to bring it up last, but unexpectedly Liu Shang brought it up first.

Something came to mind, and then he asked Liu Shang.

"It's Zhang He. I'll call him over in a bit, and you two can meet him."

Liu Shang forgot that this was his first time visiting the music score section and smiled as he spoke to it.

“Hey, there’s no need for him to come. I think your secretary was very good just now. Let her send the contract over.”

Upon hearing that Liu Shang was about to make a phone call, Qu Pu stopped him, looking towards the doorway.

"She's just a secretary. This contract is very important. Let our business manager handle it."

Listening to the musical scores from this period of time, Liu Shang felt that the purpose of these scores was not pure.

He didn't want Li Linlin to go alone, and then smiled as he spoke to the music score.

"Hey, isn't Mr. Liu just a secretary? Don't let this ruin our relationship, especially since he'll be back after signing the contract."

Hearing that Liu Shang disagreed with his opinion, the smile on his face slowly disappeared, and he stared intently at Liu Shang and asked.

"Well, that's not something I can say for sure."

Liu Shang was a little unsure and stammered.
