Chapter 185 He is provoking a fight
Li Rongsen went to the newspaper office. He always had many guesses and felt that he was in danger, too dangerous. His love rivals sprang up like bamboo shoots after the rain.
He finally arrived at the office.
The person sitting at the desk waiting for him was indeed an acquaintance.
Sima Jixuan looks like an adult today. He looks a little more mature in a suit, and his aura of a rich young man is more vividly displayed. He is indeed an extraordinary person.
Li Rongsen's guess was correct. It was indeed him. He walked in and said, "Are you Sima Jiguang's son?"
"I'm Sima Jixuan, hello." Sima Jixuan extended his hand to him politely.
Li Rongsen didn't refuse. He shook his hand gently and said, "Those news in the newspapers were all intentional on your part, right?"
"I'm an adult and have the right to fall in love with anyone." Sima Jixuan gestured for Li Rongsen to sit down.
Li Rongsen was naturally not polite. He unbuttoned a button of his suit, then sat down calmly and said, "You are acting on your own initiative. You should consider An Yan's feelings."
"I will marry her."
"Are you an adult?" Li Rongsen frowned.
Sima Jixuan chuckled. He looked really good when he laughed, his eyes shining. He said, "I'm an adult now. Did I disappoint you?"
"But you're not yet of marriageable age," Li Rongsen reminded him.
"It's okay. These two years can be used as preparation time. Besides, I also need to get familiar with the company. It's also a good opportunity for me to exercise. This way, I can better protect An Yan and she won't have to worry about it." Sima Jixuan's attitude was as if An Yan was already with him.
Li Rongsen was particularly unhappy when he heard this and couldn't help but say something sarcastic, "An Yan just treats you like a child."
Sima Jixuan's expression changed, and he immediately said, "What do you think An Yan thinks of you? You're just a friend. What else do you think there's going to be?"
Li Rongsen was unable to refute this. After all, his relationship with An Yan had not yet gone beyond friendship. However, he was not convinced and continued, "Have you asked An Yan what she thought? What you think may not be what she thinks."
"I can give her all my time and give her the best, so that she won't be able to refuse me." Sima Jixuan said confidently.
"Why do you think she needs it?" Li Rongsen asked him again. At this moment, he no longer treated him as a child, but as a real man who had the same goal as him.
Sima Jixuan said: "I won't stop you from pursuing her. If she wanted to be with you, she would have been together a long time ago. So you are not a threat to me. On the contrary, Bai Shichen is. He is really an excellent man."
"What do you mean by that!" Li Rongsen jumped up from the sofa. He was very dissatisfied with what he had just said. What did he mean by if they wanted to be together, they would have been together a long time ago. It was he who didn't pursue her openly, okay?
"Are you afraid of Bai Shichen?"
"Why should I be afraid of him?" Li Rongsen said disdainfully. He thought that he and An Yan had experienced life and death together, and at least they were comrades who shared hardships and life and death. What was he, Bai Shichen?
Sima Jixuan saw his anxiety and knew in his heart that he cared about An Yan. He said, "I asked you to come here today not to talk about An Yan, but to talk about something else."
"I have put that piece of land up for sale. Whoever offers the highest price will get it." Li Rongsen had regained his composure and sat down on the sofa again.
"Didn't you discuss a deal with my dad before?" Sima Jixuan asked him.
"He disagrees."
"I'll give you 50% of the shares, and you give me the entire land. How about it?" Sima Jixuan asked.
"Then I'm at a huge loss."
"Land in exchange for shares, plus important decision-making power in the company. As long as you explicitly stipulate that I disagree, I will never send any message without authorization. How about it?" Sima Jixuan asked him. He thought he would agree, and he thought An Yan would agree too.
Li Rongsen smiled and said, "Actually, I'm not interested in your newspaper. If I want, I can open a new platform without investing."
"It takes time to open up a new platform. Besides, I publish the news here and you clarify it on the other side. I don't think you will do that." Sima Jixuan said.
"Your family has many businesses. Why don't you just give up the newspaper and sell them all to me?" Li Rongsen replied.
"Of course not. Besides, I'm new in office. How can I sell it right after getting it? It will make people doubt my ability." Sima Jixuan said.
Li Rongsen looked at him and suddenly felt that he had grown up.
Or maybe, this is his true face.
Sima Jixuan turned out to be a gifted boy. Although he was young, he had already obtained a doctorate degree and had unique insights into business management. However, he liked playing the piano and had always regarded this as his development goal.
This made Sima Jiguang very unhappy. He hoped that he could abandon his hobby of piano and focus on maintaining the family business.
It turned out that Sima Jixuan was not happy about it, but after meeting An Yan, he changed his mind.
There was silence in the office, and Li Rongsen and Sima Jixuan each had their own thoughts.
Sima Jixuan raised his hand to pick up the cup, but knocked it over instead. This surprised Li Rongsen a little. He stared at his left hand and found that his left wrist was red and swollen, as if injured. He asked, "What's wrong with your hand?"
"Nothing, I was just distracted and didn't hold the cup steady." Sima Jixuan stood up and walked to the other end of the desk to sit down, then said, "Go back and think about it."
"You are not using the release of An Yan's news as a bargaining chip to threaten me so that I will accept your request." Li Rongsen asked him.
"You are not at a disadvantage. Everyone gets 50%. I won't take advantage of you because An Yan treats you as a friend." Sima Jixuan said this as if to stimulate him.
But Li Rongsen had calmed down. He said, "I'm leaving first."
"I will announce shortly that An Yan has accepted my engagement gift."
Li Rongsen's expression changed. He said, "That's not an engagement gift. It's just an ordinary gift."
"Ask your good friend Sheng Mingjie, the name of that jewelry is called Mutual Joy and Love. An Yan did accept it, so I won't count it as a false report." Sima Jixuan chuckled, his smile was sunny, but his heart was not sunny.
"Aren't you afraid that An Yan will ignore you from now on? Your behavior is not honorable."
"That's the worst. An Yan treats my willfulness as that of a child. It's impossible for her to ignore me. I understand her better than you." Sima Jixuan always deliberately said things that could arouse Li Rongsen's emotions.
Li Rongsen said nothing and strode out of the office, thinking that this kid was really calculating.
He didn't want to see those reports in the newspapers that were completely untrue, and the speculations on major platforms, even more than Anyan. Anyway, it had nothing to do with him, Li Rongsen, so he didn't like it.
On the other side, An Yan was discussing with Bai Shu and said, "She needs to rest. It will probably take a month."
"She's in a lot of pain."
"Of course, she longs to be an ordinary person." An Yan nodded.
"Can you heal her?"
"Okay, let's treat her eyes first. It will only take a week." An Yan answered him confidently.
Bai Shu was a little bit unconvinced. He asked, "Are you kidding me?"
"Of course not. If she can see something first, she'll have the motivation and confidence to live, right?"
Bai Shu nodded and said, "That's right, if you can cure her, I'll do anything for you."
