Chapter 263: Walking by the river keeps your shoes dry



The meal took nearly two hours to finish, but no one felt tired.

Although Li Cheng did not participate in the conversation between Yang Hong and Director Gao, he heard every word they said clearly.

Things are going smoothly and Yang Hong and Director Gao have reached a consensus.

Congratulations! The No. 1 National Cotton Mill has become the favorite among the four textile mills.

You know, any enterprise that Li Cheng takes a fancy to will surely be revived and regain vitality.

Yang Hong had achieved his goal tonight. Regardless of his previous or current status, he truly wanted to see the No. 1 National Cotton Mill back on its feet. Of course, it would be even better if the other three textile mills could also stand up.

Well, not bad. Whether it's for sentiment or profit, tonight is a good result.

Gao Qinqin was also very happy tonight because she hadn't had dinner with Li Cheng for a long time.

Li Cheng performed well tonight. The two of them talked a lot, as if they both had a lot to say.

It just seemed like that, because Gao Qinqin subconsciously felt that Li Cheng talked to her endlessly, and he was trying to make her happy.

Although Director Gao appeared to be worried, he was actually very happy at the moment.

In this city's business community, everyone knew Li Cheng. Although Li Cheng hadn't said anything tonight, Director Gao knew that all of this was probably Li Cheng's idea.

Yang Hong is just Li Cheng's spokesperson.

Every time Director Gao thought about life tonight, he looked at Li Cheng.

He couldn't understand how this young man could be so capable, with so many titles and so good at doing things.

Speaking of his wealth, it's probably in the hundreds of millions, right? Real estate, construction, investment banking, supermarkets, printing and dyeing, marketing, tourism... I heard he's involved in all of these industries, and he has shares in them to varying degrees.

But look at him, he doesn't look arrogant at all. Look, when the waiter poured him tea, he didn't forget to look at the waiter and say "thank you".

That night, Li Chengdu completely convinced Director Gao, both in terms of character and ability.

Director Gao briefly considered clinging to Li Cheng, but after much thought, he couldn't come up with any historical connection between his surname, Gao, and the surname Li. Otherwise, how could he have come up with a way to promote Li Cheng as a senior?

Later, when he saw Gao Qinqin, he thought that it would not be difficult to hug Li Cheng's thigh. As long as he hugged this girl's thigh, he would be indirectly hugging Li Cheng's thigh.

To curry favor with someone... Director Gao found an opportunity and stuffed a valuable sapphire necklace into Gao Qinqin's bag.

He believed that with Gao Qinqin's intelligence, she would think that this necklace was given to her by her brother.

In fact, he overthought it.

Gao Qinqin never thought that this so-called cousin whom she had just met would give her such an expensive gift.

When Gao Qinqin returned home that night and found the necklace in her bag, she was surprised at first, and then she wondered if it was a surprise from Li Cheng.

Seeing that it was too late, Gao Qinqin suppressed the idea of ​​sending a message to Li Cheng. She tossed and turned with many thoughts in her mind and did not close a wink all night.

The next day, Gao Qinqin sent a message to Li Cheng after work saying that the gift was too expensive and she felt a little embarrassed to accept it.

Gift? Li Cheng quickly asked her what the gift was.

At this time, Gao Qinqin realized that the necklace was not a gift from Li Cheng. So, she told him about the gift she found in the bag, and they both guessed that it was a gift from Director Gao.

Gao Qinqin was a little disappointed. After getting Director Gao's phone number from Li Cheng, she called him and asked him to take the necklace back.

Director Gao refused, insisting it was a meeting gift. Gao Qinqin had no choice but to throw the necklace into the drawer.

If it’s not a gift from Li Cheng, I don’t want it no matter how valuable it is.

Just when Gao Qinqin was lost in thought, Li Cheng arrived. As soon as he entered, he asked, "Do you like that necklace?"

Gao Qinqin stared at him and said, "Whether you like it or not depends on who gave it to you."

Li Cheng smiled, then took out a necklace from his pocket like a magic trick.

Gao Qinqin saw that the necklace was the same style as the one Director Gao gave her, except that the sapphire on it was bigger, so she asked Li Cheng if Director Gao had given it to him as well.

Li Cheng nodded and said, "I guess it was him who gave it to me, but not last night. He left it when he came to me last time to apply for a loan to repay a loan."

Gao Qinqin snorted and said, "You accepted bribes."

Li Cheng smiled, looked at the necklace in his hand and said, "He also left a red envelope, stuffed in the crack of the sofa. I didn't find it until a few days later."

"Where's the red envelope?"

Li Cheng took out a thick envelope from his pocket. Gao Qinqin only took a glance at the thickness and knew that it contained ten thousand yuan.

There's no way around it, bank people just have this function.

"How are you going to deal with this?"

Li Cheng weighed the envelope in his hand and said, "I've had so many people come to my place lately, and these things were stuffed in the gap between the sofas. So, I never knew who put them there."

Gao Qinqin nodded, knowing that it was Director Gao who sent the necklace, which made Li Cheng guess who the sender was.

"Are you planning to return it to Director Gao?"

Li Cheng shook his head.

"So what do you want? Accepting bribes is illegal..."

Li Cheng glared at her and thought, "Am I only worth this little money? You underestimate me too much."

"What nonsense are you talking about? If I wanted to accept this little thing, would I tell you?"
