“I’ve made a decision: CN Financial’s overseas projects need to be further expanded.”
Li Susu put down her wine glass, her tone firm, but her gaze was unfocused, as if she were looking through the glass at the distant past.
Chen Ke's gentle gaze suddenly froze, and the fingers holding the wine glass tightened unconsciously.
“Expanding overseas projects? That’s certainly a good thing, but you can leave such things to your subordinates. Why do you have to make the trip yourself?” Chen Ke tried to dissuade her, keeping his tone as relaxed as possible so she wouldn’t notice anything unusual about him.
Li Susu did not answer immediately, but silently picked up her wine glass and took a sip of red wine.
Chen Ke looked at her, a vague unease creeping into his heart.
He knew that her return to China this time was not just for company business.
More importantly, it was to find her lost memories.
For the past three years, she has lived in a fog, indifferent to everything except work.
She would only occasionally show a slight smile in front of him.
"Arno..." Chen Ke hesitated for a moment, but decided to express his thoughts.
"I know you've always wanted to get back your memories, but... have you ever considered that perhaps... forgetting the past is the best option for you?"
"Thanks."
Li Susu's voice was very soft.
She raised her glass, gently clinked it against Chen Ke's, and then drank it all in one gulp.
As Chen Ke looked at her, the unease in his heart intensified.
He opened his mouth, wanting to say something more, but was interrupted by Li Susu.
"I have something to do, I'll be going now."
Li Susu stood up, picked up her handbag, and turned to leave.
Chen Ke watched her retreating figure, his brows furrowed.
Outside the restaurant, a gentle night breeze dispelled the lingering effects of alcohol on Li Susu's face.
She took a deep breath; the cold air made her even more alert.
She walked to the Maybach parked by the roadside, opened the car door, and got in.
The car was warm and cozy, a stark contrast to the cold outside.
"Back to the hotel," Li Susu instructed.
"Yes, Mr. Chen."
The assistant answered respectfully and started the car.
The car drove smoothly on the road. Li Susu closed her eyes, her mind blank.
"How is CN Financial's expansion project in China progressing?"
Li Susu opened her eyes and looked at her assistant.
The assistant, feeling a little nervous under her gaze, quickly replied, "We have already investigated several powerful companies, and based on the current situation, the Fu family and the Li family are the most suitable partners."
As she spoke, the assistant handed the prepared documents to Li Susu.
Li Susu took the documents and carefully looked through them.
"The Fu family...the Li family..."
She murmured the two names, a strange sense of familiarity welling up inside her.
Li Susu first looked through the information of the president of Li's Group and found that she was actually a woman, which made her feel a sense of goodwill.
In this male-dominated business world, female CEOs are always more likely to resonate with her.
"Let's make contact with the Li family first."
Li Susu put down the documents in her hand and looked at her assistant.
"As for the Fu family..."
She paused, a complex emotion flashing in her eyes.
"We'll talk about it when we get to China."
"Okay, Mr. Chen."
The assistant answered respectfully and put the documents away.
Li Susu leaned back in her chair, closed her eyes, and kept recalling the information about the president of the Li Group in her mind.
She always felt that this woman had some kind of connection with her in some mysterious way.
