Secretary Wang relayed the information that Zhou Chen was the owner of Hope Network Technology to Li Xiaolong.
As Zhou Haide had predicted, Li Xiaolong immediately developed great dissatisfaction and hostility towards Zhou Chen, and paid little attention to Secretary Wang's reminder.
Zhou Haide soon learned that Li Xiaolong was planning to meet Zhou Chen in person.
Knowing that Li Xiaolong didn't take Zhou Chen seriously, Zhou Haide didn't ask Secretary Wang to remind him again. After all, fighting against Zhou Chen was also his idea.
However, before Li Xiaolong went to see Zhou Chen, he unexpectedly went to see another person, which surprised Zhou Haide.
"You mean Snapdragon went to see the boss?"
Zhou Haide's expression flashed, and Secretary Wang, who was standing in front of him, nodded. After all, Li Xiaolong had obtained Zhou Na's phone number from Secretary Wang.
“If Mr. Zhou doesn’t want them to meet, I can stop it.”
Secretary Wang suggested.
Zhou Haide paced back and forth for a moment and said, "It's alright. I can roughly guess what he's thinking. He's probably just curious. After all, I treat the boss much better than those two idiots. It's normal for Xiaolong to want to meet him in person. Let them meet."
On the other end,
Li Xiaolong arrived in front of Zhou Na's fruit milk tea shop.
"I'd like a cup of your shop's signature milk tea."
"Yes, sir."
Before long, Li Xiaolong had a cup of fruit milk tea in his hand. After taking a small sip, Li Xiaolong did not leave immediately, but chatted with the shop assistant.
The shop assistants had a good impression of Li Xiaolong, this handsome young man, and answered almost every question he asked.
"Thank you for telling me so much."
After getting what he wanted to know, Li Xiaolong smiled slightly and said goodbye to the shop assistant.
As the shop assistant watched Li Xiaolong being pushed away from the milk tea shop, a hint of sympathy appeared in her eyes. She murmured with a sigh, "Although he's quite handsome, it's a pity he's disabled. If he could walk, I'm sure many girls would like him."
The shop assistant shook his head and quickly stopped thinking about the issue.
Just treat it as an ordinary thing. As a shop assistant, you encounter all kinds of customers every day. Li Xiaolong's situation is not unusual.
"Go to Yanli University."
Back in the car, Li Xiaolong ordered his bodyguards to drive to Yanli University.
He was in a good mood. Although he came to the fruit milk tea shop and didn't get to see Zhou Na in person, he learned some basic information from the shop assistant.
His desire to see Zhou Na was not a spur-of-the-moment decision.
Aside from curiosity, the main reason was that he learned from his mother, Li Meihui, that Zhou Haide had chosen Zhou Ling and Zhou Chuan from the very beginning to donate kidneys to him.
Why wasn't Zhou Na chosen?
Even before the initial tissue matching was done at the hospital, Li Xiaolong felt that Zhou Haide valued Zhou Na far more than Zhou Ling and Zhou Chuan.
This caught his attention.
He felt that Zhou Na must have something about her that Zhou Haide would value, so he changed his mind and decided not to see Zhou Chen first, but to see this half-sister instead.
When Zhou Na learned that someone was looking for her, she instinctively thought it was Zhou Chuan or Zhou Ling. However, when she saw Li Xiaolong sitting in a wheelchair, she was stunned because she did not recognize the young man who looked slightly younger than her at all.
"You called me, is there something you need?"
Although they were strangers, Zhou Na still politely asked about the other person's purpose.
"Hello, I came here specifically to see you. I wonder if you would be willing to transfer your fruit milk tea shop to me."
"You want to buy my shop?"
Upon hearing that Li Xiaolong had come for business, Zhou Na's doubts instantly vanished. She realized that Li Xiaolong had probably learned about her university information from the shop assistant.
"That's right, I'm very interested in the milk tea business."
Li Xiaolong said with a smile.
"I'm sorry, I don't plan to transfer it at the moment."
Zhou Na only thought for a moment before refusing on the spot, which surprised Li Xiaolong.
“Ms. Zhou, I am genuinely interested in buying your business. The price is negotiable. Moreover, as far as I know, your business is not doing well and you are losing money every day. Why don’t you cut your losses now?”
Li Xiaolong continued.
Zhou Na frowned slightly, but remained unmoved, and refused again, saying, "I have no intention of transferring the business. As for the losses, I can afford them, so you don't need to worry about them. If there's nothing else, I'll go back to class."
"Wait a moment, Miss Zhou."
Zhou Xiaolong called out to Zhou Na, who was turning to leave.
"How about we try a different approach? I'll invest in your fruit milk tea business."
"Investment?"
Zhou Na looked at the mysterious Li Xiaolong in front of her, her brows furrowing even more, because she couldn't understand why Li Xiaolong would be interested in her business. Knowing that the fruit milk tea business had lost 90% of its customers to Mi Xue Ice Cream, and having failed to acquire it, he actually wanted to invest in it.
Zhou Na's instinctive reaction made her feel that Li Xiaolong was definitely up to something.
She didn't believe in easy money; Li Xiaolong knew there were dangers in the mountains, yet he still went into danger—something was definitely wrong.
Whatever the reason, she simply refused.
certainly,
The main reason she refused to sell the fruit milk tea business was that, besides her suspicion of Li Xiaolong's motives, she didn't want to lose. Selling the business to someone else would mean she had lost the competition with Zhou Chen.
This is why she persists even though she's struggling to make ends meet every day.
She didn't want Zhou Chen to see her make a fool of herself.
These days, she has been thinking about how to change the current situation. Although she doesn't have any good solutions, she doesn't want to give up.
This is her first business venture, and she doesn't want it to fail right from the start.
If Zhou Chen can succeed in every business venture, so can Zhou Na.
"I don't need shareholders. Thank you for your optimism about my business, but I don't want to do business with others. Sorry, I have to go back to class."
Regardless of whether Li Xiaolong was genuinely interested or just trying to tease her, Zhou Na currently has no intention of giving up the milk tea business.
Li Xiaolong still smiled as he watched Zhou Na leave.
He wasn't angry about being rejected.
Zhou Na had indeed surprised him; her rejection was so decisive. "No wonder Father values you more. You're quite interesting..."
Only after Zhou Na had completely disappeared did Li Xiaolong wave his hand, signaling the bodyguards behind him to push him back into the car.
This scene was witnessed by Zhou Na, who entered the teaching building but did not rush upstairs.
Who exactly are you?
A thoughtful look appeared in Zhou Na's eyes. She felt that Li Xiaolong was acting strangely and didn't seem like he was really there to acquire her business.
Especially the way Li Xiaolong looked at her, there was an indescribable meaning in it.
Li Xiaolong was definitely not a stranger, but she was certain they had never met before. So the question was, why was Li Xiaolong looking at her with such a complicated expression?
"Could it be him?"
suddenly,
A thought flashed through Zhou Na's mind, and she remembered someone.
