noon.

The provincial capital of Hubei Province.

At the gate of a small manufacturing factory, Cao Yaoyao looked at Li Yuxuan who was walking towards her with flowers in his hands. While feeling disgusted, she had to put on a professional smile.

Li Yuxuan is the son of a major customer who has been cooperating with her small manufacturing factory for several years. Ever since he came with his father to meet her last month, he has started to "pursue" her relentlessly. She has hinted to him more than once that he is not her type.

But Li Yugan seemed not to understand the hint and still went his own way, pursuing her in a very high-profile manner, sending her a bouquet of flowers every day and treating her to dinner, which gave her a huge headache.

She wanted to reject him decisively, but was afraid that he would get angry and embarrassed, which would eventually affect the cooperative relationship between the two families. But if she didn't make it clear, he would keep pestering her.

If this wasn't her own factory, Cao Yaoyao would have wanted to resign and leave.

Over the past month, Cao Yaoyao has been dealing with him very carefully, and her patience has really reached its limit.

Today, Cao Yaoyao really couldn't stand it anymore and decided to confront him and make things clear. Even if it meant losing the Li family, a big client, she would accept it.

After Cao Yaoyao made up her mind, Li Yuxuan walked up to her, handed her the flowers in his hand, and said with a smile on his face: "Yaoyao, work is important, but eating is more important. I have already booked a restaurant, so get in the car!"

Cao Yaoyao took the flowers with a somewhat forced smile, thanked him, and then said, "Li Yuxuan, there's no problem with the meal, but there are some things I want to make clear to you."

Li Yuxuan smiled unchanged and said, "Yaoyao, if there is anything, let's go to the restaurant and talk about it, okay?"

Cao Yaoyao didn't know whether he really didn't understand or was pretending not to understand, but this was definitely not the place to have a conversation, so she nodded and said, "Okay, let's talk about it in the restaurant!"

A smug look flashed across Li Yuxuan's eyes, and he immediately got into the car to lead the way, with Cao Yaoyao driving closely behind him.

At the beginning, Li Yuxuan always invited Cao Yaoyao to take his car to the restaurant, but Cao Yaoyao always refused on the grounds that it was more convenient for her to drive.

After a few times, Li Yuxuan gave up the idea of ​​riding in the same car.

Soon, two cars arrived at a restaurant one after another.

The two entered the restaurant box, where the food had already been prepared.

It was not appropriate to talk about topics that would spoil the mood at the beginning of a meal, so Cao Yaoyao chatted with Li Yuxuan while eating and drinking, and only started to build up their emotions when they were almost done with the meal.

Cao Yaoyao asked: "Li Yuxuan, I'm full, are you full?"

Li Yuxuan nodded and said, "I'm full too!"

Cao Yaoyao said calmly: "Now that we are full, let's talk!"

Li Yuxuan looked normal and said with a smile: "Okay, Yaoyao, what do you want to talk about?"

Cao Yaoyao looked at him and said seriously, "Li Yuxuan, first of all, I want to thank you for your love and care for me over the past month. There are some things I should have told you a long time ago, but for various reasons, I have been delaying it until now.

However, I think this matter really cannot be dragged on like this day after day, otherwise it will be bad for both you and me."

The smile on Li Yuxuan's face gradually disappeared. He looked at Cao Yaoyao and said, "So, what do you want to say?"

Seeing that he was still playing dumb, Cao Yaoyao took a deep breath and said, "Li Yuxuan, I know you like me, and I am grateful for your love for me, but you are really not my type.

I have hinted to you more than once, but you always made jokes and fooled me every time. But dragging it out like this is really not good for both you and me, so I hope you can understand. "

Li Yuxuan's smile was a little hard to maintain. He said angrily, "Cao Yaoyao, I, Li Yuxuan, have academic qualifications, good looks, and a good family background. No matter how you look at it, I am worthy of you. We are a perfect match. Why can't you give me a chance?"

Cao Yaoyao said: "Li Yuxuan, I admit that you are very good, and your family background is even better than mine, but feelings are something that cannot be forced. You are really not my type, and I hope you can understand."

Li Yuxuan said: "Yaoyao, feelings can be cultivated. We are suitable in all aspects. As long as you are willing to marry me, I promise that my company can fully support your factory, and I will definitely treat you well. We will definitely be happy together."

Cao Yaoyao saw that Li Yuxuan still refused to give up even after talking to this point. She knew that if she didn't make things clear today, she would have troubles in the future, so she looked at him and said, "Li Yuxuan, I originally wanted to save some face for you and didn't want to say such harsh words. After all, Uncle Li and my dad have been friends for many years, and I don't want anything to go wrong because of us. But since you won't listen to my advice, don't blame me for not giving you face."

Li Yuxuan's expression changed slightly when he heard this: "Cao Yaoyao, what do you mean?"

Cao Yaoyao also risked her life and shouted angrily, "Li Yuxuan, you still have the nerve to ask me what I mean? Do you really think I haven't heard of those gossips about you, Young Master Li?

Do you want me to tell you about all the beauties who are entangled with you? I take relationships very seriously and cannot tolerate your promiscuity, so do you understand?"

Li Yuxuan said anxiously, "No, Yaoyao, listen to my explanation. I admit that I made mistakes in relationships before, but since I met you, I have corrected them. From now on, I will only love you and I promise that I will not have anything to do with another woman. Yaoyao, you have to believe me."

"Li Yuxuan, I'm not an 18-year-old girl. I'm 28 years old. Your words have no effect on me. This is not a Buddhist sect. As long as I put down my butcher knife, all the mistakes I made in the past can be wiped out. So you don't have to waste your time on me!"

Having said this, Cao Yaoyao stood up and said, "Thank you for your hospitality. Goodbye!"

Seeing Cao Yaoyao was about to leave, Li Yuxuan was furious and threatened directly: "Cao Yaoyao, are you going to reject me even if it means breaking up? Aren't you afraid that I will ask my dad to cut off your factory's orders?"

As soon as Li Yuxuan said this, Cao Yaoyao instantly felt a huge pressure coming at her.

The order from the Li family, a big customer, is indeed very important to her factory. If something goes wrong, her factory will not be able to operate at all, but it will definitely suffer heavy losses. This is also the main reason why she has tolerated Li Yuxuan for more than a month.

However, Cao Yaoyao had already considered the consequences when she chose to confront him this time. She turned around and looked at the somewhat exasperated Li Yuxuan, and said calmly, "Li Yuxuan, Uncle Li and my father have been friends for many years. I have never wanted to affect them because of our relationship, but if this relationship requires sacrificing my lifelong happiness to maintain, then let it be severed!"

Having said that, Cao Yaoyao did not stay any longer. She opened the door of the box and left without looking back.

Li Yuxuan looked at Cao Yaoyao who was leaving with an uncertain expression. As a veteran in the world of women, he had long known that Cao Yaoyao didn't like him. She had hinted to him several times over the past month, but he had always gotten away with it by making jokes. He believed that as long as he was given enough time, he would be able to change her opinion of him.

He also firmly believed that Cao Yaoyao would not dare to really turn against him, because his company was a super big customer of her factory. If his company changed to another factory for procurement, her factory would be hit hard.

It can be said that he has her in his grasp.

What was unexpected was that Cao Yaoyao was so tough. After dealing with him for more than a month, she chose to confront him. Even his threat of factory orders could not change her mind.

This made Li Yuxuan embarrassed and filled with anger. He immediately took out his cell phone and called his father.

As soon as the call was connected, Li Yuxuan said angrily: "Dad, your son has been slapped in the face, you should immediately stop the orders from their Cao family factory!"

Father Li's voice came over: "What happened? Did you have a falling out with Cao Yaoyao?"

Li Yuxuan said angrily: "She just showed me her true colors. She really didn't give me any face. I still like her so much. I'm so mad at her. Dad, you must teach her a lesson."

Father Li sighed and said, "Son, you can't treat business matters so lightly, and a forced melon is not sweet. Since Cao Yaoyao doesn't like you, you don't have to waste your time on her.

Your father is a billionaire after all, and you are my only son. It is not difficult for you to find a beautiful wife. Why do you have to be obsessed with Cao Yaoyao?"

Li Yuxuan said: "Dad, the economic strength of the Cao family is not much worse than ours, Cao Yaoyao is an only child, and she is also excellent enough, with a top-notch figure and appearance. This is not comparable to other women."

Father Li said, "That's true. Cao Yaoyao is indeed suitable to be the daughter-in-law of our Li family, but it's all because of you! Your gossip has spread in the circle. Which girl is willing to marry a playboy like you? I guess Cao Yaoyao rejected you because of this, right?"

Li Yuxuan was speechless for a moment after hearing this, and then complained: "Dad, isn't this all your fault?"

Father Li scolded, "You little bastard, you fall in love with every girl you see, why do you blame me?"

Li Yuxuan said confidently: "If you had introduced me to Cao Yaoyao earlier, I would have pursued her a long time ago, and naturally would not have mixed up with other women. Who else can I blame if not you?"

Father Li said tiredly, "You are my son. I know your character very well. Don't make excuses like this. Besides, although I have a good relationship with your Uncle Cao, I didn't go out of my way to get to know his family, so I didn't know Cao Yaoyao much earlier than you did."

Li Yuxuan said: "I don't care. Anyway, I can't swallow this anger now. You have to help me vent it."

Father Li said angrily, "Li Yuxuan, you are already so old, can you be more mature? The main purpose of doing business is to make money, not to be used as a tool for fighting.

The Cao family factory has been cooperating with our company for many years. Both parties have achieved mutual success and achieved win-win results. If you terminate the cooperative relationship just because you pursued their daughter and were rejected, our company's reputation will be ruined if this gets out. Do you understand?

Our family's economic conditions are good compared to the average family, but in the eyes of the truly wealthy, we are still poor. You don't think about working hard to develop your own business, but instead think about how to fight. How can I trust you to hand over my business to you?"

Li Yuxuan was speechless after being scolded by his father. He was not a fool and naturally understood that his father's approach was correct. He just said such brainless words because he was angry.

"Dad, I'm sorry, I was impulsive!"

After hearing his son admit his mistake, Father Li said with relief: "It's good that you know you're wrong. You should focus on your work and stop trying to pick up girls. I have already provided you with the best conditions. As long as you work hard and make achievements, there will naturally be plenty of excellent women waiting for you to choose."

"Dad, I know!"

…

After Cao Yaoyao came out of the restaurant box, she felt indescribably relieved. She had been holding these words in her heart for more than a month, and now that she had let them all out, there was only one word to describe it - awesome!

However, after driving back to the factory, Cao Yaoyao felt that she had to inform her father about this matter, lest if there was any movement from the Li family, her factory would be in real danger!

So, Cao Yaoyao went straight to the factory director's office.

After entering the office, Cao Yaoyao said to his father who was watching videos: "Dad, I have something very important to tell you."

Father Cao looked at his increasingly outstanding daughter and said with a smile, "Yaoyao, what's the important matter? Tell me!"

Cao Yaoyao said, "It's Li Yuxuan who has been pestering me. I just confronted him and rejected him without mercy. I wonder if he will get angry and persuade Uncle Li to terminate the cooperation with our factory."

Father Cao smiled and said, "Yaoyao, don't worry. I have worked with your uncle Li for many years, and I know what kind of person he is.

Based on my understanding of him, he would not choose to terminate cooperation with our factory because of such a small matter. Doing so would not only cause losses to their company, but also ruin their reputation. As a qualified boss, he would not do such a stupid thing.

Of course, just in case, we also have to prepare a set of backup response measures, so that if something that shouldn't happen does happen, we won't be caught off guard."

Hearing her father's confident words, Cao Yaoyao finally felt relieved and said, "Then I feel relieved. Dad, you don't know, I have been enduring Li Yuxuan for a long time. A playboy wants to seduce me. I don't know where he gets such confidence."

Father Cao patted his daughter's shoulder and said, "My original attitude towards your relationship with Li Yuxuan was to let you develop on your own, but I didn't expect that you would choose to endure his harassment for the benefit of the factory. In the future, if you have anything to discuss with your dad, don't be stupid and handle it alone. If you had told me earlier, you wouldn't have to endure so much torture!"

Cao Yaoyao said with a bright smile: "Dad, I know!"
