Chapter 89: President Li, Is There Something You Need Me For?

“Based on last year, we’d need at least fifty million. Even if we turn a profit two months from now, we’d still require thirty million.”
“In the past, didn’t Gu Qi’s funds automatically come in?” Shen Ning’s fingers clenched a lead pencil, her fingernails turning white.
Wan Zhengping’s expression grew more serious. “Back when Shen Mei was in charge, Mr. Li would typically transfer a sum in January for the first half of the year and another in July for the second half. It was all automated. However, this month is already July, and it’s been two weeks, but the funds haven’t arrived. He might have forgotten. Maybe you should give him a call to remind him.”
“Alright, 1 understand,” Shen Ning spoke with difficulty. “You can go now.”
Wan Zhengping left the office.
Shen Ning leaned over her desk, unable to lift herself. Her body had grown weak, and a chill seemed to emanate from every part of her. Even her mind felt like it was twitching.
She had forgotten about this matter entirely.
She had indeed regained Gu Qi, but it was just an empty shell. No matter how great her sales strategy was or how successful her perfume formula was, without money, it was all just empty words.
Gu Qi was now hers.
Would Li Zhenting continue to send money as he used to?
Images of Li Zhenting’s inscrutable gaze and icy demeanor from last night’s tea party flashed through her mind. She felt herself trembling even more.
Shen Mei was his fiancee and the mother of his two children. He wouldn’t just stand by and do nothing. But what about her? She was nothing. Why should he transfer the funds?
Her face turned pale.
Li Group.
Li Zhenting sat in a black armchair, dressed in a well-fitted black suit that exuded an air of nobility and sophistication, yet remained cool and elegant.
“Mr. Li,” Leng Xue walked in.
“Leng Xue, investigate her again,” he handed him a black and white photograph that had yellowed with age.
Leng Xue took the photo and looked at it in surprise. “Mr. Li, isn’t this an old photo of Miss Shen Mei when she was fifteen? Why do you want to investigate this again?”
Li Zhenting’s thin lips tightened, and his sharp eyes gleamed with a hint of brilliance as he gazed at Leng Xue.
Leng Xue shivered and quickly said, “Alright.” 𝗯𝐞𝗱𝗻𝐨𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝗼𝗿𝐠
He turned and left.
Li Zhenting picked up a cigar and placed it in his mouth, using his long fingers to light it. He took a deep drag, exhaling a long plume of smoke.
The doorbell rang.
“Come in,” he said tersely.
The door opened, and Shen Ning walked in.
She was dressed in a fitted short office suit that accentuated her graceful figure. Her short skirt revealed her long and shapely legs, encased in nude-colored sheer stockings. She wore a pair of black pointed high heels, tied her hair into a ponytail, and had an elegant, quiet demeanor.
“Mr. Li, did you need something?” Shen Ning stood before Li Zhenting, her head lowered, and her tone cautious.
She hadn’t expected that, just as she was contemplating whether to approach Li Zhenting to borrow some money and repay it once the perfume started making a profit next month, his secretary would call her, instructing her to come to the Li Group immediately.
She thought it must be about the funds because Gu Qi had never had any business dealings with Li Group other than money.
“Mr. Li,” she tried again softly.
However, after a long silence, there was still no response.
She couldn’t help but straighten her posture slightly and raise her gaze.
With this slight movement, she noticed that Li Zhenting’s gaze was fixed on her chest, and there was a dark gleam in his eyes.
Ugh! She pursed her lips!
If there was no incoming fund within a week, Gu Qi would go bankrupt.
Although his current gaze was a bit unsettling, she still managed to put on a charming smile to appease him..
