When Chen Ningsheng saw that Li Tengbo had called out Xu Xinchen's name right away, his face darkened immediately. He looked at Li Tengbo as if he were looking at a dead man.
Li Tengbo's attention was entirely focused on Xu Xinchen, and he didn't notice Chen Ningsheng's unusual behavior at all.
Chen Ningsheng gritted his teeth and glared coldly at Li Tengbo, seemingly wanting to see what else Li Tengbo would say next.
Li Tengbo was originally an extremely impulsive person; otherwise, he wouldn't have squandered the family business inherited from his father, ending up in this state where he has to swindle people everywhere to make up for his losses.
He not only failed to notice that his words had already displeased Chen Ningsheng, but also took Xu Xinchen's angry yet amused expression as a provocation from Xu Xinchen.
"Lu Minshi, do you have any manners at all?! Didn't your parents raise you properly before you started working?!"
"Mr. Li, aren't you mistaken? You and your daughter are trying to steal my boyfriend. How dare you ask me if I have any manners? It's you who are the ones who have no manners, isn't it?"
Xu Xinchen looked at Li Tengbo with disbelief in her eyes. She, the victim, hadn't even said anything yet, and the person who hurt her was already eager to throw mud at her? How could this person be so shameless?
"Lu Minshi, matters of the heart are based on mutual consent. If you've been abandoned, it only proves..."
Chen Ningsheng no longer wants to be with you, so what right do you have to criticize him?
Li Tengbo chuckled coldly, exuding a gloomy aura, and his words were extremely harsh: "Besides, you're just an ordinary person who has no family background, no power, nothing at all. What makes you think you can compare to my daughter?"
Chen Ningsheng could no longer hold back and stepped in front of Xu Xinchen, saying, "President Li, have you forgotten that the person you've been scheming against is standing right in front of you?"
His voice was extremely cold: "You told my girlfriend in front of me that you were plotting against me? Do you really think I'm dead?"
Li Tengbo was startled by Chen Ningsheng's sudden outburst, but when he understood what Chen Ningsheng was saying, he not only didn't panic, but instead showed a strange smile on his face.
"Chen Ningsheng, you come from a good family and are very capable. I heard before that your grandfather was interested in you and wanted you to marry Chen Bailing. I can't compete with their family, so I had to give up on you."
"But now that things are impossible between you and Chen Bailing, why don't you consider my daughter? My daughter is much better than your so-called girlfriend in every way."
Xu Xinchen has been in this era for so long and has seen many entangled people, but she has never seen such self-righteous people as Li Xueyan and Li Tengbo, father and daughter.
Even now, Lin Lina, who has been relegated to the general affairs department, is more likable than this father and daughter. Lin Lina is indeed quite annoying, but at least her words aren't so disgusting.
Chen Ningsheng was clearly stunned by Li Tengbo's shameless words. After a long while, he clapped his hands leisurely: "President Li is indeed shrewd and calculating. I admire him, I admire him. I still want to..."
I need to learn a lot from you.
Li Tengbo's smug smile froze as Chen Ningsheng spoke. He raised his head and stared at Chen Ningsheng with a gloomy look, speaking in a sarcastic tone.
"Chen Ningsheng, although my Li family is currently facing some minor problems, as long as you marry my daughter and give me sufficient funds, I am confident that I can revive my Li family. At that time, it will be a win-win situation for both of us."
Chen Ningsheng sneered, refusing to speak to Li Tengbo any further. A win-win situation? What win-win situation? He, Chen Ningsheng, paid money to help the Li family through their crisis, and now he had to face that arrogant and domineering woman, Li Xueyan, and spend his life with her?
Li Tengbo's plan was quite clever, but unfortunately he chose the wrong person! Even if the Li family needs his help now, and even if he were to fall on hard times and need help from others one day, he would never agree to marry Li Xueyan!
The truth is always hard to hear. After Chen Ningsheng said that even if he fell on hard times, he would not marry Li Xueyan, Li Tengbo immediately became furious: "Chen Ningsheng, don't push your luck."
"I know you're very capable, but have you ever considered that you've only been out in the business world for a few years? Are you sure you can understand all the intricacies of the business world? If you marry my daughter, I can help you integrate into the resources that the Li family has now. Isn't that much better than marrying a woman who can't help you at all?"
"If I need resources, my father can help me. If I need money, my own earning ability is far greater than that of your Li family's empty shell subsidiary. President Li, please face reality. You have no bargaining power with me, and you have no capital to cooperate with me."
Chen Ningsheng spoke very bluntly; his purpose today was to shatter Li Tengbo's illusions and make Li Tengbo realize that he...
Li Tengbo simply didn't have the resources to scheme against him.
Li Tengbo was so angry at Chen Ningsheng's words that he trembled all over. He closed his eyes, took a few deep breaths of fresh air, and it took him a while to finally calm down.
“Chen Ningsheng, that’s what they say, but don’t you think the resources your father has are completely different from the resources my Li family has? If our two families become in-laws, it’s like you have two completely different resources.”
Chen Ningsheng was indeed very impolite, but Li Tengbo's purpose was also very clear: no matter what, he wanted his daughter, Li Xueyan, to marry Chen Ningsheng.
This wasn't just about money or Chen Ningsheng's earning power; it was also because of the good reputation Chen Ningsheng had built up recently, a reputation that was enough to save their precarious company.
Li Xueyan married Chen Ningsheng. The Li family could use Chen Ningsheng's good reputation to wash away their past disgraceful image and access new resources. This was the best way to resolve the Li family's crisis at present.
