Chapter 167: Quite Unhappy



As soon as the word "Ruoruo" was uttered, Li Ruo immediately trembled, even forgetting to struggle.

If I remember correctly, this was the first time Wen Huaiyan had called her name so intimately.

What's wrong with this man?

"Ruoruo, what's going on here?"

While she was still in a daze, Jiang Ze's face had already darkened.

Li Ruo had just told him that the two of them had no relationship, but this man hugged her without hesitation. It was far too arrogant!

Sensing the anger in his voice, Li Ruo finally snapped out of her daze and frantically explained, "Brother, it's not what you think..."

"What do you mean it isn't?"

Upon hearing this, Wen Huaiyan suddenly raised his eyebrows, his lowered eyes softening slightly: "It's getting late. When I left earlier, I specifically told Auntie that we should go straight to dinner."

At this moment, he had completely changed from his previous aloofness and bookishness; his gentle and considerate demeanor truly resembled that of an excellent boyfriend.

Watching Jiang Ze's face darken visibly, Li Ruo couldn't help but curse under her breath.

"Jiang Ze... Brother!"

Before she could react, Wen Huaiyan suddenly looked up and said meaningfully, "If there's nothing else, we'll be leaving now."

He left a message, then took Li Ruo's hand and walked out.

This action may seem gentle and considerate, but only Li Ruo could feel how much force he actually used.

Li Ruo glanced back at Jiang Ze, who was standing there, and immediately felt a little embarrassed.

She wasn't stupid; she could naturally see that Wen Huaiyan's actions were a declaration of sovereignty.

But... does he really like me?

Li Ruo gave a wry smile, suppressing her dissatisfaction as she left the hospital. Only then did she shake off his hand and angrily question him, "Why did you do this?"

First, he visited Jiang Luo in the name of a leader, and then he took her away without permission. What exactly is he trying to do?

However, Wen Huaiyan did not answer. He only glanced at her and then said coldly, "Get ready. You're going on a business trip in three days."

With that, he turned and left without hesitation.

As she watched his retreating figure, Li Ruo's expression grew increasingly dazed.

She was finding it increasingly difficult to understand what Wen Huaiyan was thinking.

At the same time, the Li family.

After Dao Chengyi received the project plan signed with Wen Changfeng, he immediately contacted Li Zhiqi.

He's getting old, but his eldest son is a disappointment. He's almost thirty, but he's been indulging in a life of debauchery and hasn't yet gained the approval of the shareholders.

This is not a good thing!

As the Li family grows faster and faster, his influence within the company has long since diminished.

Especially after being suppressed by the Fu family because of Li Ruo's matter, his situation became extremely passive.

With Wen Changfeng's help this time, everything became much easier.

Therefore, he decided to hand over the project to his son. If it succeeds, it would be natural for Li Zhiqi to take over the company.

Li Zhiqi was naturally more than happy to accept this.

However, he was far less ambitious than Li Daocheng had imagined.

Having just handed over the plan to his father, the first thing he did was rush straight to the bar.

"Come on, brothers, let's celebrate that after all these years, I've finally landed my first big project! Cheers!"

"cheers!"

After a drink, a few friends couldn't help but ask curiously, "Zhiqi, which company did you work with to land this big project?"

Everyone here is in the industry, and they all know that the Li family is being suppressed by the Fu family. So they are very curious: which company would still dare to cooperate with the Li family now?

Upon hearing this, a smug smile immediately appeared on Li Zhiqi's face: "You guys don't know this, do you? If I told you, I'd be scared to death!"

Upon hearing this, the group exchanged glances and quickly pressed, "Tell us, tell us, which company is it?"

Although when Li Daocheng handed the project over to Li Zhiqi, he specifically instructed him not to make a fuss before it was successful.

After all, reputation is extremely important in this industry; a slight misstep can lead to gossip and criticism.

However, Li Zhiqi was blinded by vanity at this moment and didn't think about anything else.

With the added connection to Wen Changfeng, he felt the project was practically guaranteed, so he didn't hesitate to say, "This project of mine is a collaboration with the Wen family!"

Upon hearing this, everyone was slightly taken aback, and when they came to their senses, their faces were full of surprise.

"The Wen family? How is that possible? I heard that President Wen has already canceled the cooperation with your Li family?"

"Exactly, you're not talking nonsense, are you!"

The Wen family is no ordinary small enterprise; their every move is closely watched by everyone.

But this time, none of the people present heard a single rumor.

Seeing their questioning expressions, Li Zhiqi immediately became displeased. He downed his drink in one gulp before saying, "This kind of thing is either true or false. Why would I lie to you? Besides, the cooperation between the two companies is a big deal; I wouldn't just make things up."
