The Evil Villainess' Sweet Love Story Novel - Chapter 231
Chapter 231: Chapter 231, What’s unreasonable about it?
Gao Zongsheng quickly stood up and walked to Li Jingran’s seat with tacit understanding.
Xu Wanwan frowned slightly and watched as the man sat next to her.
Her face darkened, and she quietly moved to the side.
Li Jingran was not angry. He pursed his thin lips and said in a low voice, “Avoiding me?”
His words were provocative.
Xu Wanwan clenched her fists in anger.
What did he mean by hiding from him?
Didn’t they agree not to see each other and not to contact each other anymore?
Why did he always appear at such occasions?
Xu Wanwan was still calm. She tried hard to suppress the displeasure in her heart. “Director Li, you shouldn’t be in the mood to stay here and listen to us talk about work, right?”
…
The implication was, “You’d better stay where you are!”
Li Jingran shook his wine glass slightly and raised his eyebrows slightly. “Who said I’m not here to talk about cooperation?”
“Director Li, you must be joking.”
Xu wanwan retorted lightly, “A powerful enterprise like the Li Corporation would disdain to cooperate with a small company like us.”
She was telling the truth.
…
There were many rules in the business world, and there were more advantages and disadvantages to weigh. A company that could work with the Li Corporation had a huge advantage in one aspect.
Li Jingran had no reason to come here to talk about cooperation.
He was just lying to her.
“Then I’m afraid Miss Xu has misunderstood me.”Li Jingran looked at Xu Wanwan with a half-smile. He tapped the table with his fingertips and pushed out the contract in front of him, “Anqing company will soon belong to the Li Corporation. Of course, I have to be there personally.”
“What?”
Xu Wanwan picked up the contract in disbelief and looked at it a few times. After reading it, a wave of anger rushed to her brain.
“Why are you doing this?”
Anqing company was Gao Zongsheng’s life’s work. Although it had not developed yet, Gao Zongsheng was a diligent and down-to-earth person. She believed that one day, he would manage the company.
However, Li Jingran was holding an acquisition contract in his hand. It was clear that he wanted to cut off Gao’s way of life.
She knew that it was extremely difficult to persist in doing something for decades. If Anqing Company was really acquired, it would definitely be a fatal blow to Gao.
Li Jingran said indifferently, “The strong prey on the weak. The survival of the fittest has always been the rule. I just bought a small company according to the rules. What’s the problem?”
Xu Wanwan was so angry that she clenched the corner of her shirt, and her chest rose and fell slightly. “Yes! For You, nothing is a problem!”
“You are the president of the Li Corporation. You have the ability to call the wind and summon the rain, so you can do whatever you want. You Won’t consider the feelings of others!”
Li Jingran looked at the girl who was throwing a tantrum in front of him and was slightly stunned for a few seconds.
Why was she so angry?
She was just going to buy a small company that was about to go bankrupt. Why was she so angry?
If he didn’t see her work at Anqing Company, why would he buy a worthless salary.
Li Jingran’s expression turned cold. “If that’s the case, then sign the contract.”
He wanted to see if she would beg him.
Gao Zongsheng took the acquisition contract with a troubled look on his face. His fingers trembled as he held the pen in his hand. He trembled and found it difficult to write.
An Qing company was his painstaking effort for many years. He really couldn’t let it go just like that.
However, before Xu Wanwan arrived, he had already been overwhelmed by Li Jingran’s power. If he didn’t agree to sign the contract, an Qing company wouldn’t be able to develop in city a in the future.
As far as the eye could see, there were a few more big companies like the Li Corporation.
As long as Li Jingran was unhappy, he could completely destroy a company that was already on the verge of collapse.
Gao Zongsheng held the pen in his hand. Beads of sweat dripped down from his forehead, and a hint of red appeared in his weathered eyes.
Xu Wanwan could not bear to watch.
She knew that CEO Gao would definitely be reluctant to part with the industry that he had worked hard for decades.
Just as Gao Zongsheng was about to sign the contract, she suddenly turned around and looked at Li Jingran. Her eyes were full of pleading as she said anxiously, “Can you not buy this company?”
Li Jingran raised his eyebrows and his mood instantly improved.
Very good.
At the same time, Gao Zongsheng also raised his head abruptly and looked at Xu Wanwan with gratitude in his eyes.
Li Jingran’s thin lips curved slightly. “Miss Xu, I never do business that has no value.”
Of course, Xu Wanwan understood the meaning behind his words.
She secretly gritted her teeth. “Then tell me, what do you want?”
“I want you to move back to the Li family,”Li Jingran said faintly. “Not one week, one month, but every year, every month.”
The corners of Xu Wanwan’s lips could not help but Twitch.
Every year, every month, what was the difference between that and a lifetime?
Asking her to stay in the Li family for the rest of her life, what was the difference between that and house arrest?
For such a domineering request, if she agreed to it easily, then she would be out of her mind.
“Director Li, Stop Joking.”Xu Wanwan’s tone was not as calm as before. “You’ll have to get married and have children sooner or later. If I stay in the Li family for the rest of my life, what will your future wife think?”
“Besides, I also need to start my own family. It’s impossible –”
Before she could finish, Li Jingran suddenly moved closer to her face and said meaningfully, “Do you think you still have a chance to start a family with someone else?”
Xu Wanwan was stunned for a few seconds. When she came back to her senses, her face instantly turned red.
How could he say such a thing in front of so many people?
“Director Li, I think we’d better not talk about it. I will never agree to this condition.”Xu Wanwan bit her lower lip, her attitude firm.
Li Jingran retracted his gaze, his eyes suddenly emitting a hint of coldness.
“Sign it.”
The last bit of hope in Gao Zongsheng’s heart was shattered. The man who had always been steady and self-assured looked like he was on the verge of collapse as he held the pen. Every finger of his was trembling non-stop.
Xu Wanwan could not bear to see such a scene.
It was as if an ant was gnawing at her heart.
Her conscience made her feel guilty.
If CEO Gao had not found her to be a designer, Anqing company would not have been targeted by Li Jingran.
Was she really going to watch Anqing Company be acquired because of her?
Xu Wanwan closed her eyes tightly and gritted her teeth. “I agree!”
This result was within Li Jingran’s expectations.
He chuckled and his eyes softened a little.
It was good that he agreed.
Xu Wanwan exhaled lightly and turned to look at the man with a cold expression. “Even though I’ve agreed to you, it doesn’t mean that I have to live in the Li family at all times. I’ll always have other things to do. You Can’t be too arbitrary.”
“I won’t be arbitrary,”Li Jingran said as he took out a contract from behind him. “Just sign it.”
Xu Wanwan frowned slightly. She picked up the contract and read it carefully.
She almost vomited blood when she saw it.
How could such an overbearing contract be called not arbitrary?
“Director Li, I think your contract is a little unreasonable.”
“Oh?”Li Jingran pretended to be unintentional. “How is it unreasonable?”
“The contract stipulates that party B can only rest in the same room as party A, which is very unreasonable.”Xu Wanwan looked at him expressionlessly, “If I find a boyfriend one day, do the three of us have to rest together?”
