Upon hearing the other party reveal their identity, Li Ruo narrowed her eyes slightly before speaking, "Sir is..."
Who I am is not important.
The man's eyebrows curved into a smile: "I have something to discuss with President Li. I wonder if you would be so kind as to grant me this request?"
Seeing his mysterious expression, Li Ruo raised an eyebrow: "Where to?"
It has a connection with Fu Zhiqing...
Perfect timing, she also wanted to see what the other party was up to.
The man looked around and his gaze fell on the coffee shop across the street: "Where should we go? It's quiet now."
Looking at the place the other party was pointing to, Li Ruo nodded slightly, but did not refuse.
Seeing this, the man chuckled and turned around first.
"Ding-a-ling," a crisp wind chime rang out, followed by a waiter's voice: "Welcome, please come in."
After ordering two coffees with practiced ease, the man headed straight for a corner seat.
Li Ruo followed cautiously behind him, staring intently at the person in front of her.
The man noticed her wariness and chuckled, "You don't need to be so wary of me, because our goals are pretty much the same."
Li Ruo raised an eyebrow, immediately showing interest: "Really?"
"uh-huh."
The man raised an eyebrow: "I have a grudge against Fu Zhiqing, and I want your help."
Li Ruo was caught off guard by his directness.
But she quickly realized what she meant: "You say you have a grudge against Miss Fu, so how can you expect me to believe you? Or rather, what is your sincerity?"
As expected of someone who managed to snatch the company from Li Daocheng, their way of speaking and acting is truly different.
The man sighed inwardly, a hint of admiration flashing in his eyes.
Just then, the waiter brought over the coffee and placed it on the table between the two of them.
Soon, a faint aroma of coffee filled the air.
Li Ruo reached out and slowly grasped the coffee cup, looking down at the steaming coffee.
The man sitting opposite him slowly spoke: "I've discovered that there are problems with the businesses under your control."
Upon hearing this, Li Ruo's pupils suddenly contracted, and her expression became somewhat serious: "So you want to trade this to me?"
The man smiled slightly and met her eyes: "I know that President Li wants to make the company better, so you certainly won't refuse. Besides, I can also help President Li deal with the person who leaked the secrets. How about it?"
Upon hearing this, Li Ruo narrowed her eyes slightly.
She certainly wouldn't refuse, since the exchange wouldn't be a loss for her.
But who exactly is this man, and why is he so confident that he can help her?
The man wasn't in a hurry. He placed his fingers on the table and tapped them lightly, waiting for her reply.
After a long while, Li Ruo finally raised her head: "Okay, I agree. So what do you want me to do?"
Hearing this, the man's smile deepened: "I need you to investigate every single detail of Fu Zhiqing's movements during her time abroad, leaving no stone unturned."
That's not difficult, after all...
Thinking back to what she had investigated, a thoughtful look flashed in Li Ruo's eyes: "Since you have a way to help me, can't you investigate her?"
Sensing her probing, the man smiled and said, "Everyone has their secrets. As long as President Li is willing to make this deal with me, why bother knowing so much?"
His voice was gentle, and although his words carried a hint of sarcasm, they didn't evoke any dislike in people.
Li Ruo gazed at him intently for a long time before suddenly saying, "Alright, it's a deal then!"
"oh?"
The man was surprised that she agreed so easily.
But Li Ruo said, "Just as you said, as long as you can help me, that's enough. Knowing so much is useless, and I've never been a curious person..."
Her tone was meaningful, and she stared intently at the man in front of her as she spoke.
Meeting the scrutinizing look hidden in her eyes, the man suddenly burst into laughter: "Then I'll wait for President Li's good news."
Then, the two clasped hands.
As Li Ruo stepped out of the coffee shop, the wind outside picked up considerably, causing her hair to fly wildly.
Li Ruo and the man parted ways immediately; one walked towards the parking lot, and the other walked into the darkness not far away.
It wasn't until Li Ruo got into the car and looked at the roadside that she realized the man had disappeared.
She lowered her eyes, looked at her phone, and then tossed it onto the seat next to her.
"Fu Zhiqing...the Fu family...interesting!"
She murmured to herself, turned the steering wheel, and headed home.
At this moment, the chaos in the hotel subsided once again.
However, the affair between Fu Zhiqing and Li Zhiqi was still a hot topic in high society, after all, how could such a big scandal not cause a sensation?
Mr. Fu reacted quickly; he immediately bribed the entertainment reporters to prevent them from leaking the news.
After all, this would be a devastating blow to the Fu family, so it certainly cannot be allowed to happen.
Even so, a few scattered pieces of news still managed to get out.
Although many people are discussing it and even leaving comments on Fu Zhiqing's Weibo, most of them are just speculations without any real basis.
