Upon hearing Lin Qingtong's words, Shen Tinghe couldn't help but feel a sense of loss.
But he quickly composed himself, a smile playing on his lips as he spoke.
"Then I need to hold 10% of the shares of what I've invested in you these past few days, and you can handle the rest as you see fit."
"As for the money, you don't need to repay it."
His offer was practically giving Lin Qingtong money.
Lin Qingtong is very optimistic about the projects she is currently undertaking, as they are basically guaranteed to be profitable.
By saying such things now, isn't she essentially giving money away to Shen Tinghe and Lin Qingtong for free?
Lin Qingtong frowned slightly and refused directly: "I will return the principal of these things to you."
"I don't need anyone's pity or help; I can handle it all by myself."
Shen Tinghe suddenly placed his fingers on the documents on the table, and his smile deepened.
"If that's the case, then you shouldn't need this information."
He slowly pulled out the documents, his dark pupils fixed on Lin Qingtong.
She thought the other party would take the information back, but to her surprise, she didn't care at all and just crossed her arms and said a sentence.
"If you want to take it back, then take it back. There's no need to threaten me with these words here."
"Because what I hate most in my life is threats."
Shen Tinghe's gaze darkened, gleaming with a gloomy light.
He snatched the documents back and threw them into the trash can, his aura turning icy cold.
"You're right. I shouldn't have given you these things. I was just being presumptuous. Okay?"
After leaving a message, Shen Tinghe turned and left.
He exuded a chilling and oppressive aura, and no one dared to approach him even slightly.
Lin Qingtong sat in her office with her eyes slightly lowered, her heart filled with mixed feelings.
She knew this was Shen Tinghe's heartfelt intention, but she also knew that this intention was far too heavy.
Finally, Geng Xiangmei came in to report the news to Lin Qingtong. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw the documents in the trash can being picked up and handed to Lin Qingtong.
"Mr. Lin, do you still want this?"
Lin Qingtong pursed her red lips, intending to refuse, but still reached out her hand.
"Take it here, I'll handle it myself."
Geng Xiangmei handed the items to Lin Qingtong, and then solemnly reported the matter.
"President Lin, I have sent Wang Meili to the police station. She should receive the punishment she deserves."
"But I still hope that President Lin can be lenient with her."
If Lin Qingtong were to show leniency, Wang Meili would face far less punishment.
Lin Qingtong looked up in the direction of Geng Xiangmei, her hands clasped together, a cold smile on her lips.
"You probably don't know what happened that day, but you heard Wang Meili talk about it along the way, and that's why you're saying these things here."
“If you had gotten even a sliver of the truth from Wang Meili, you wouldn’t have had the face to say such things to me.”
As soon as she finished speaking, a hint of embarrassment and guilt flashed in Geng Xiangmei's eyes.
When I took Wang Meili to the police station just now, she told me about what happened that day.
However, Wang Meili only said that she ran into Lin Qingtong at the warehouse during the typhoon, and then she was inexplicably accused of colluding with outsiders.
Geng Xiangmei had no doubt about what Wang Meili said.
Hearing Lin Qingtong say this now, she realized that the truth of the matter was not quite right.
It's probably not as Wang Meili said.
In that instant, Geng Xiangmei felt immense regret for saying those words.
She is always straightforward and has no ill intentions towards others.
In her eyes, Wang Meili was still her good friend, and she still trusted her character completely.
But at this moment, she felt as if she no longer recognized Wang Meili.
She stared at Lin Qingtong, who was clenching her teeth, and only after a long while did she finally ask a question.
"Then, Mr. Lin, can you tell me exactly what happened that day?"
Lin Qingtong's light-colored pupils, like amber, revealed a faint smile.
At least the other party is willing to ask me, so that's acceptable.
So Lin Qingtong briefly recounted what had happened that day.
“She colluded with outsiders to lure me to the warehouse, then locked the door. When the arson attempt failed, she tried to kidnap me. I helped her in the process, but she betrayed me.”
"If you don't believe me, you can check the surveillance footage from that night. I didn't tell a single lie."
Lin Qingtong spoke only a few words casually, but Geng Xiangmei sensed an extreme danger in them.
That night, Lin Qingtong was all alone, facing all this malice and attack.
If they really fail to escape, they will truly fall into an endless abyss.
She didn't even dare to think about that outcome.
Geng Xiangmei's face was full of shame, and she looked at Lin Qingtong to apologize.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Lin, I said those words without investigating the matter properly."
Lin Qingtong waved her hand dismissively, indicating that she didn't care.
Instead of apologizing to me here, you should work hard and improve the company's performance.
"If you can't even do this, then all my previous tolerance towards you has been wasted, and I will take it all back without hesitation."
Geng Xiangmei understood the meaning behind Lin Qingtong's words, so she solemnly agreed.
"President Lin, don't worry, I will definitely do my best. We have already made an appointment with Teacher Liu Tingyu."
"I've already sent the specific time to Mr. Lin's email address. Please remember to check it. I've also sent the detailed plan along with it."
Lin Qingtong nodded in satisfaction. This was the Geng Xiangmei she had hoped for, not someone who was hopelessly mired in the mistakes her friend had made.
After Geng Xiangmei left, Lin Qingtong turned on her computer and saw the meeting time and plan that Geng had sent her.
There were basically no mistakes, so I felt relieved. At least Geng Xiangmei's professional competence was still commendable.
On the day she was to meet Liu Tingyu, Lin Qingtong was about to leave when she received a call from Liu Tingyu.
"Qingtong, I've already gotten into the car you sent. Why did you suddenly change the meeting place?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Qingtong immediately realized something was amiss and hurriedly offered a reminder.
"You need to make sure you're safe. We didn't send them this time."
Liu Tingyu showed no sign of anything amiss, and continued to talk and smile with Lin Qingtong.
"Honestly, you changed the location without telling me, making me wait for so long at the previous place. Now we're going to Chunxue Mountain Villa on the outskirts of Beijing."
Liu Tingyu had just learned the new location from the driver.
Lin Qingtong immediately understood that the other party was tipping her off, so she readily agreed and drove quickly towards Chunxue Villa.
If Liu Tingyu makes a mistake while negotiating the cooperation with him, his company's reputation will be ruined.
