From the moment she entered the room until now, Li Rao has been suppressing her emotions.
Especially when she saw Li Ruo acting arrogantly, and she had to pretend to be respectful.
At this moment, Li Rao said angrily.
"Li Ruo, if you're afraid I'll take Mr. Wen away, just say so. There's no need to talk to me like a mistress of the house. Who do you think you are!"
Li Rao spoke slowly and deliberately, "I don't mind that you're a country bumpkin, and I'm willing to live with you. That's me doing you a favor. Don't be ungrateful!"
As they say, experience is the best teacher; Li Rao clearly lacked Sun Lan's patience.
At that moment, Li Ruo seized the opportunity and pretended to be injured.
"Mommy, you said my sister thinks this way about me, is that what she thinks of me?"
In a moment, crystal-clear tears were already hanging in her eyes.
Li Ruo looked at the person in front of her as if she had suffered a great injustice.
"I was just trying to give you some advice, I didn't expect to be scolded like this."
After saying that, Li Ruo let out a long sigh, as if her heart had been broken.
"Since you insist on staying here, I won't say anything more. Just don't blame me if the project fails."
Upon hearing this, Li Rao remained calm, but Sun Lan immediately panicked.
Having been married for decades, she knew all too well what kind of person Li Daocheng was.
If these personal matters affect the company, she and Li Rao will likely suffer.
Caught between a rock and a hard place, Sun Lan gritted her teeth.
"Rao Rao".
Sun Lan advised.
"Pack your things, let's go. It's so late, we really shouldn't bother other people."
Seemingly unable to believe her ears, Li Rao glared and shouted, "Mom!"
“Your sister is right. If you anger Mr. Wen, will you still have a good life? Do I need to remind you of your father’s methods?”
The moment Li Daocheng's name was mentioned, Li Rao's anger instantly died down.
Having suffered a great loss in silence, Li Rao could only glare angrily at Li Ruo before leaving with her mother.
The unpleasant smell finally disappeared, and Li Ruo's nose was relieved. She breathed a long sigh of relief and felt that the air was much fresher.
She was the only one left in the huge restaurant. Li Ruo slowly opened the envelope.
It's clear that Li Daocheng is determined to succeed in this matter.
All the materials inside were neatly arranged, and many details were even labeled.
Li Daocheng is a decent person in many ways, except for his blind self-confidence.
For example, what makes him think that Li Ruo would help him?
Is it just because he didn't shoot on the wall back then?
"Squeak—"
Suddenly, just as Li Ruo was about to tear it to pieces, the sound of the door opening came from the doorway.
Immediately following was the sound of changing shoes, putting them back in their original place, and then slowly walking in.
She had heard that noise a thousand times, so she could immediately guess who it was.
"Mr. Wen."
Li Ruo carefully tucked the document under the sofa cushion and hurried over.
"You're back."
Wen Huaiyan looked rather tired today, and the sharpness in his eyes had diminished considerably, as if he had encountered some difficulties outside.
Li Ruo didn't ask any questions, but simply served her carefully.
As I took the clothes, a wisp of smoke slowly drifted into my nostrils.
Wen Huaiyan has always disliked smoking.
I only smoke a few cigarettes when I'm feeling down.
What happened?
Even someone like Wen Huaiyan needs to rely on the power of nicotine?
"Mr. Wen, how are you feeling today?"
"Well done."
"I'm not concerned about the taste of the food. Mr. Wen, have you encountered any troubles today?"
Wen Huaiyan did not respond, clearly unwilling to say anything more.
If that's the case, there's no need for Li Ruo to continue asking questions.
After a long while, Wen Huaiyan seemed to let out a long sigh.
Li Ruo immediately raised her head, adopting an attitude of listening attentively.
Perhaps it was because Li Ruo's eyes were sincere enough, or perhaps it was because Wen Huaiyan had long regarded Li Ruo as one of his own.
He rarely talks about things that bother him.
“A senior executive of our company in another city got into trouble, and we have no one available right now.”
Some time ago, Wen Huaiyan took the opportunity to expose many of Wen Changfeng's accomplices and rectify the company's unhealthy practices during the Wen Changfeng Materials scandal.
But because of this, the company lacks key personnel.
Several trustworthy individuals have already been placed in their assigned positions.
"Is it the Lihe project?"
Upon hearing this, Wen Huaiyan narrowed his eyes.
You know?
This mission was never mentioned to Li Ruo, so how did she know about it?
Realizing there was a flaw in her words, Li Ruo spoke up.
"I know, I saw it by accident when I was tidying up your study that day."
Li Ruo pursed her lips, her eyes were clear and bright, and her face was full of loyalty.
"It really was an accident."
The cautious tone of the explanation was so pleasant that Wen Huaiyan couldn't muster any anger at all.
"Mr. Wen."
Li Ruo suddenly spoke up, "Perhaps I can help you out of your immediate predicament."
"you?"
She nodded.
Li Ruo spoke slowly and deliberately, “The projects in the department have been very stable recently. I can find an employee to keep an eye on them for me, and I will go to Lihe myself.”
If that's the case, then Li Ruo is indeed a good candidate.
She is smart and capable; her abilities are among the best in the entire project team.
"The projects you're working on are also very important."
“I know Mr. Wen, I am confident enough.”
