Thinking of this, Li Ruo couldn't help but want to see Wen Huaiyan's reaction again, so she simply told him the truth: "He's a man."
Unexpectedly, she was met with another question from the man, which sounded tinged with sarcasm: "You're so worried about other men? You should worry about yourself instead!"
Meeting the anger in his deep eyes, Li Ru frowned, somewhat puzzled.
If he didn't do it, why would Wen Huaiyan be so angry?
Did I do something to offend him again?
Li Ruo was filled with doubt, but subconsciously did not want to think about it anymore.
She lowered her eyes slightly, her expression thoughtful.
If it wasn't made by Wen Huaiyan, then it must have been made by the Li family.
"Beep beep beep..."
Just then, Li Ruo's phone rang at an inopportune moment, abruptly interrupting her thoughts.
She quickly picked it up and glanced at it. When she saw the word "Assistant" flashing on the screen, she paused slightly, then quickly answered the call.
"What happened to the company?"
After all, she had just taken office and wasn't very close to this assistant yet.
Aside from business dealings, the two basically had no contact.
Thinking that she hadn't received any news from the company for several days, Li Ruo couldn't help but feel a little worried.
Because she knew that the Li family would never let this go so easily.
She will definitely try again if given the chance; she must find a way to eliminate the threat once and for all.
Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, his assistant's anxious voice came from the other end: "President Li, please come back quickly! While you were away, a major project of the company was inexplicably snatched away by someone else!"
"What?"
Upon hearing this, Li Ruo's eyes widened in disbelief, and she immediately agreed without hesitation, "I'll go back right away!"
After all, the company is of utmost importance to her right now.
Especially during the initial period after taking office, absolutely no problems can be allowed to occur.
After hanging up the phone, Li Ruo grabbed her coat from the chair and prepared to leave.
But she inadvertently met Wen Huaiyan's deep eyes. Although the man didn't say anything, Li Ruo still subconsciously explained to him, "I have something very important to do right now. I need to go back to the company as soon as possible. I'll come back after I've dealt with it."
After saying that, she turned and left before Wen Huaiyan could react.
She walked too fast and didn't notice that the man on the hospital bed was unusually calm, and his deep eyes even held a hint of worry.
...
Li Shi.
Li Ruo rushed into the company. As soon as she entered the office area, she saw a group of people sitting lazily together chatting.
Seeing this, a fire instantly ignited in her heart. She immediately took a few steps forward, about to speak, but then she remembered the big project her assistant had mentioned, and suddenly stopped, deciding to go back to her office to find out more about the situation first.
After all, she had just taken office and didn't want to make things too embarrassing.
Instead of wasting time with these people, let's address the most important issues first.
Just as Li Ruo was about to turn around, a mocking voice suddenly came from behind her: "Oh, isn't this our newly appointed president? You've finally come back, and you've already walked all the way here, why don't you come in and say hello? Are you looking down on us?"
Upon hearing this, everyone in the office area turned to look in this direction.
Upon discovering that it was indeed Li Ruo who had returned, everyone's expression changed. As they exchanged glances, a hint of anticipation flashed in their eyes.
Unfortunately, Li Ruo did not notice anything unusual about this group of people.
She frowned slightly, slowly turned around, and looked in the direction from which the sound came.
Behind a desk not far away, a man and a woman were coldly staring at her, their provocation barely concealed.
What do you mean by this?
"What could we possibly mean? We just wanted to say hello since we've finally managed to meet the president."
The man in the suit chuckled and said to his companion, "Look at our new CEO. She's young, but she's got quite a temper. I haven't even said two words to her yet, and she's already getting angry!"
Upon hearing this, a hint of mockery flashed across the woman's face.
These two did it on purpose!
Realizing this, Li Ruo's expression grew even colder.
Before taking over the Li family business, she knew that controlling a company was not as simple as she had imagined.
But she never expected that someone would dare to provoke her in public!
"I have a bad temper, so if you don't want to get fired, you'd better shut up!"
During this period, she had a general understanding of the information about all the company's employees.
These two people in front of me are arguably the two biggest slackers in the sales department. Over the years, they've skimmed off a lot of money from the company, but they've never done anything of substance.
It's laughable that he managed to get the position of team leader just by being good at flattering and bootlicking.
Li Daocheng could let them go unchecked, but Li Ruo would never allow such parasites to remain in the company!
