Chapter 833 If he really dares, then I'll admit it!
Upon hearing this, Li Xiao's pupils blazed with anger: "Don't spout nonsense here."
Shen Ci's smile widened: "Look at you, I'm kindly teaching you a shortcut and you don't appreciate it? Whether you're talking nonsense or not, you'll know once you try it."
After saying that, Shen Ci turned around and walked inside.
Li Xiao stood there watching her walk into the crowd, his hands unconsciously clenching into fists.
There were quite a few familiar faces today, including Uncle Gu.
Upon seeing Shen Ci, Gu Shangyou approached her and reminded her, "Ci, you're dragging your feet on selling the program to the Li family. But the Li family has already extended their reach overseas. I heard that their senior management is also present today."
“Uncle Gu is very well-informed.” Shen Ci smiled casually, her tone even more casual: “I’m not a god, I can only do what I can. The Li family is determined to make a living from artificial intelligence, even at the cost of huge losses, so I can only wish them good luck.”
Gu Shangyou smiled as well: "I also know that you've been in talks with them recently about becoming an agent? How are the negotiations going?"
"I may seem optimistic on the surface, but I'm actually not sure about things."
Shen Ci answered truthfully that Lucas had indeed given them very positive feedback, but after all, she hadn't actually sent Su Zheyuan to Lucas's bed, nor would she have done so.
Furthermore, with the Li family still making efforts and no contract signed between them, the outcome is truly uncertain until the very last moment.
"If there's any good news, remember to tell your uncle first," Gu Shangyou said with a smile, clearly wanting to buy the usage rights from Shen Ci.
"Of course, with Lianxing's connection, I will inform Uncle about all my projects as soon as possible."
Gu Shangyou was very happy and invited Shen Ci to his home for dinner when she had time.
Meanwhile, Shen Ci received a call from Su Zheyuan.
"Ah Ci, can you lend me some money?"
Su Zheyuan asked for money right away, without beating around the bush.
Shen Ci walked to the corner window, looked at the distant city view, and casually asked, "How much do you want to borrow?"
How much can you lend?
Shen Ci rolled her eyes: "Then you have to tell me how much you're using!"
"Ten thousand?"
Seemingly aware of the large amount involved, Su Zheyuan quickly said, "Actually, I can also borrow from the bank, but there are interest rates. I was just thinking of asking you. If you don't have one, I'll borrow from the bank."
"Are you implying that you're borrowing money from me without interest?"
"No, you'll definitely undercharge me a little, every little bit helps."
Shen Ci pursed her lips: "Give me the account number, is 10,000 enough?"
"If that's not enough, I'll tell you more, hehe, thanks. Where are you? Why is it so noisy?"
Shen Ci glanced back at the packed venue and explained, "It's the Li Group's new product launch. Let me tell you..."
She smiled and told Su Zheyuan what she had just said to Li Xiao.
After hearing this, Su Zheyuan couldn't help but worry, "Aren't you afraid he'll really go? Maybe Lucas will actually give him the technology."
Shen Ci said indifferently, "If he really slept with Lucas for this, then I'll accept it! I'll be completely convinced!"
She just wanted to see just how ruthless Li Xiao would be in his pursuit of success, beneath his seemingly respectable exterior.
"Should I help you compete for it?"
Shen Ci was taken aback: "You're going to sleep with Lucas too?"
"I'm willing to make a sacrifice for you."
"Ha, I think you just wanted to go, didn't you? I never imagined you'd have to sacrifice so much."
"I don't want to, I was just kidding, but I'm also looking forward to seeing what Li Xiao will do."
At this moment, Li Xiao was standing alone outside the venue, observing Lucas from a distance.
Meanwhile, countless conflicting noises were raging inside his head.
Simply because there wasn't much time left, and he was eager to prove his abilities to his father and the board of directors.
It's important to know that this terminal technology is currently very important to the company, and the company has been negotiating with the other party for several months. If they can secure the deal, its value goes without saying.
Li Xiao was upset because he had too many distracting thoughts.
Does Lucas really like men? He was skeptical of Shen Ci's words.
But if it's true, should I make some sacrifices for the project? As long as I stick to my principles, that's fine.
But what if he's about to cross that line? What will he do then?
Li Xiao's head started to ache from thinking so much that he unconsciously kept picking at his fingers. As a result, he kept staring at the other person, and the next second Lucas noticed that he was watching him.
Lucas smiled and waved at him, revealing two dimples on his stubble-covered cheeks.
Li Xiao's expression immediately changed, and he quickly returned the smile before striding towards Lucas.
Even though it was just a few steps, Li Xiao's mind was still racing, wondering if he should test the waters after he got to the other person.
How can he subtly probe without making the other person feel offended?
He hated Shen Ci even more in his heart. Shen Ci, you are really amazing. You can always throw him into complete disarray with just a few words.
In the blink of an eye, he was already in front of Lucas.
"Hi." Lucas looked at Li Xiao with his bright blue eyes, his gaze as calm as a still lake. "What's your name?"
"Shawn".
Lucas raised an eyebrow, and because of Shen Ci's intervention, Li Xiao felt that Lucas's gaze towards him contained an extra emotion.
He nervously swallowed and asked, "Senior, can I take a picture with you?"
"certainly!"
Lucas was clearly willing, his eyes fixed on Li Xiao's handsome face as he spoke.
Li Xiao then took out his phone and took the initiative to put his arm around Lucas's shoulder affectionately. Lucas naturally did not refuse and even moved closer to Li Xiao. The two of them were very warm and intimate.
This scene, witnessed by Li Wanchang who was not far away, made him smile with satisfaction.
His son listened to his advice and has started to work on it, which is excellent.
Shen Ci also witnessed this scene from another location. She was very excited, took out her phone and frantically pressed the shutter button, then sent the photos to Su Zheyuan: "He's quite savvy, he's already embracing her."
Su Zheyuan replied immediately after seeing the photo: "Still can't compare to me. I've let Lucas touch my butt."
Shen Ci asked with a smile, "Is it appropriate to use your competitive spirit here?"
Seeing that Lucas showed no sign of rejection and even put his hand on Li Xiao's shoulder, Li Xiao took a few more photos.
This made him believe Shen Ci's words a little more. Could it be that Lucas really likes men?
He then looked at Lucas and asked, "Senior, have you been able to explore Longcheng this time? If not, I have a few days of free time before I leave the country, so I can show you around Longcheng and let you experience the local customs and culture of China."
I'll update one chapter first, my dears. My cat is sick again, so I took him to the night clinic. I'll write another chapter when I get back.
