"After all, they never intended to let me go in the first place!"
Thinking back to the news reports from later generations, there were far too many people in the entertainment industry who were threatened and had their nude photos taken. She almost fell into that abyss herself.
Thinking of this, Liu Zi suddenly felt less averse to Li Mu. After all, he had saved her, and without him, it would probably be difficult for her to come back.
"Tch!" Li Mu snorted. How could she be both cowardly and tough?
In the evening, Liu Zi changed her clothes, did some simple eyebrow makeup, picked up her bag, and went out.
The location was chosen by Li Mu. Only when Liu Zi heard the name did she realize that the Yunxing Hotel, which was famous in Beijing in her previous life, was actually a property under Li Mu's name.
Liu Zi was once again shocked by the strength that Li Mu had shown. This guy was already so rich in 1999!
As soon as Liu Zi parked her car, she saw Xu Da standing at the entrance of the restaurant.
Xu Da jogged over to greet Liu Zi.
"Good evening, Miss Liu. Let me help you park the car!" Xu Da took on the role of a parking attendant, which surprised Liu Zi.
"The boss is already waiting for you in the private room. He'll probably be unhappy if you're any later," Xu Er whispered to Liu Zi as he approached.
Liu Zi glanced at the time and realized it was almost time, so she didn't refuse.
After engaging the handbrake, I got out of the car and thanked the two people.
"Of course, Miss Liu, this way please." Xu Er replied, preparing to lead the way for her.
Inside the private room, Li Mu was reviewing company documents when he heard the door open. He looked up and saw Liu Zi, a hint of amazement flashing in his eyes.
This woman seems to have lost a little weight since the last time I saw her.
However, he quickly regained his composure and coldly gestured to Liu Zi to find a place to sit.
The private room was very luxurious, and the European-style decor would not be out of style even 20 years from now.
Liu Zi put her bag aside and sat down opposite Li Mu.
"Order first, and please choose whatever you like." Li Mu gestured to the waiter to come over and write down the names of the dishes.
Li Mu then put the documents away and placed them on a chair next to him.
Liu Zi opened the beautifully packaged recipe book. It not only contained signature dishes from major Chinese cuisines, but also delicacies from various countries, which made her feel a little dazzled for a moment.
Thinking that the two of them would be discussing business later, Liu Zi chose several dishes with milder odors.
Jade White Jade Nuts (Cucumber, Cashew, and Shrimp Stir-fry)
Double-flavored oyster mushrooms (stir-fried with two kinds of mushrooms)
After ordering two items, Liu Zi handed the menu back to Li Mu: "President Li, please finish the rest!"
Perhaps Li Mu didn't like the two dishes Liu Zi ordered, so he waved his hand and ordered six more dishes.
They only stopped when Liu Zi said she couldn't eat it all and it was too wasteful.
"It's alright, Xu Da and Xu Er eat a lot, there won't be any left." Li Mu didn't hold back when betraying his own employees.
Liu Zi choked for a moment, then thought of Xu Da's physique and nodded in agreement.
While waiting for the food to be served, the two remained silent, creating a slightly awkward atmosphere.
Liu Zi couldn't help but observe Li Mu. His features were sculpted, and his eyes were deep.
Men in their thirties are at the peak of their mature charm.
His attire was impeccable, his demeanor elegant, and every gesture exuded the confidence and authority of someone in a superior position.
Just as she was lost in thought, there was another knock on the door of the private room.
Xu Da poked his head in from the doorway: "Boss! I'm delivering the car keys to Miss Liu."
"Miss Liu, do you have the key?"
Liu Zi stood up and thanked him.
She knew that although the two people next to Li Mu looked like bodyguards, they were actually senior executives of Chenxing Group.
Liu Zi felt a little guilty about having executives from Chenxing act as her car attendants.
"You're welcome, Miss Liu. It's what I should do." Xu laughed and waved his hand, saying it was nothing to mention.
"Mr. Xu, please have a seat. We have already ordered the food, and it will be served shortly." Liu Zi took a step back and invited him to sit down.
Xu Daxin had already believed it. When the boss agreed to let them eat together, he pulled over a chair and plopped down in it.
Seeing this, Li Mu raised his hand and pinched the space between his eyebrows.
At this moment, Xu Er suddenly appeared at the door of the private room. Just as Liu Zi was about to get up again, Xu Er pulled Xu Da out.
"We suddenly have something to take care of, you guys eat first, don't wait for us."
After saying that, he didn't forget to close the door to the private room.
"The two of them?" Before Liu Zi could react, the two had disappeared.
"Maybe something's wrong!" Li Mu replied without even looking up as he wiped his hands with a small towel provided by the restaurant.
Liu Zixin had already confirmed it and didn't say anything more.
The waiters began serving the dishes one after another. The dishes were exquisite and delicious, looking incredibly appetizing.
"Try it, this is their signature dish."
Li Mu pointed to a steamed fish on the table, signaling Liu Zi to start eating.
Liu Zi had been craving it for a long time, so she smiled and nodded, then picked up a piece of food and put it in her mouth, savoring its deliciousness.
"How does it taste?" Li Mu asked Liu Zi.
"It's delicious." Liu Zi nodded.
"The chef's skills are excellent."
"Then eat more," Li Mu said casually.
As they enjoyed the food and discussed it, the atmosphere gradually became more harmonious.
Even Li Mu's expression was no longer as cold as before.
After they had eaten and drunk their fill, Li Mu brought up the matter he had mentioned that afternoon.
"What's your decision?" Li Mu asked, leaning back in his chair with a relaxed expression.
After thinking it over carefully, Liu Zi said, "I feel very honored that President Li is bringing me into this technology company. I know that President Li doesn't lack the 200,000 yuan, so why does he insist on having me join?"
This was something Liu Zi couldn't figure out all afternoon. She wasn't a professional in the field, so what was the point of having her join?
"Isn't it you who touted that I started this tech company? Why don't you want to admit it later?" Li Mu replied sarcastically, disliking Liu Zi's tone.
Liu Zi choked. How could this man be such a scoundrel?
Although she cursed him in her heart, she explained to him very carefully on the surface.
Li Mu was getting annoyed and threw the towel in his hand on the table: "I only have one request. If you can do it, then do it. If not, then go find someone else to do it!"
Liu Zi didn't expect the other party to be so stubborn. Fine, let's go!
Anyway, she only invested 200,000 yuan, so she wouldn't lose money.
This guy is so rich, he could build a tech company just by throwing money at it, what does she have to be afraid of!
"In that case, thank you Mr. Li for helping me make money!" Liu Zi raised her glass and toasted Li Mu.
Li Mu picked up his wine glass and drank it all in one gulp.
"Do you have any ideas about the future direction of the technology company?" Li Mu asked, hitting the nail on the head. He had sensed last time that this woman had something she wasn't saying.
This time, we forced her to contribute money to the project so that she wouldn't keep anything to herself anymore.
Liu Zi recalled several major internet companies from later generations, and briefly recounted the rise and fall of the most successful ones.
