Chapter 859: You Should Get Lost, Too (2)



Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio


Xu Wennuan had not felt too strongly about it before Director Li made her drink the alcohol, but now she had forced herself to consume almost half of it and Director Li was just walking away… She placed the bottle on the table and stood up.


“Director Li.”


He ignored her completely, not even showing a halt in his step as he walked away from her. Xu Wennuan pushed her chair back, grabbed her bag, and hurriedly caught up with him. “Director Li, what you promised me just now…”


Director Li continued to pretend that she did not exist.


Xu Wennuan quickened her footsteps even more. Since she had drank a lot, she felt like she was spinning and nearly fell to the ground a few times. Thankfully, she caught up enough to block Director Li’s path. “Director Li, can we talk about us working—”


Now that she had intercepted him, Director Li was forced to halt his footsteps. He did not wait for her to finish speaking before he interrupted her with apparent delight in his voice.


“Miss Xu, I’m very sorry, but I cannot sign that contract with you anymore. This is because I have better options now—Mr. Lu from Lu Enterprise wants to work with me…”


Mr. Lu from Lu Enterprise… Xu Wennuan went silent as if she had been struck.


Director Li did not seem to mind her silence. He went around her and walked toward the table behind her. When he spoke again, his tone had undergone a complete transformation from being arrogant like he had been with her during dinner to showing an obvious desire to please. “Mr. Lu, hello. I’m very happy to get the chance to meet you tonight.”


“Director Li, please take a seat.” Following that, a familiar, courteous voice rang out. Xu Wennuan shuddered violently, and after a while she turned around to look behind her.


Lu Bancheng was giving Director Li a toast. There was a smile on his face as he raised his glass. After they clinked glasses, Lu Bancheng brought the glass to his lips and finished it off.


Director Li placed the glass aside and asked Lu Bancheng excitedly, “Mr. Lu, are you really interested in my company?”


Lu Bancheng completed ignored Xu Wennuan, who was standing beside them. He nodded with restraint. “Yes, I want to listen to your proposal now.”


“No problem, no problem.” Director Li reached out to retrieve his document but suddenly recalled that he had hurried to Lu Bancheng’s table and left his briefcase at his own table. He explained his situation to Lu Bancheng apologetically before he got up and returned to the table he had been sitting at with Xu Wennuan.


Lu Bancheng showed no disappointment when confronted with Director Li’s inconvenience. While awaiting his return, he started amicably talking to the people around him as Xu Wennuan just stood there.


So, the reason why Director Li suddenly chose to give up working with me is because Lu Bancheng displayed interest in working with him.


Director Li’s contract is a big deal to me, but to Lu Bancheng, it means nothing. Why is he suddenly interested in working with someone like Director Li? He’s trying to make things difficult for me and get back at me for aborting his child…


Xu Wennuan’s grip on her bag involuntarily tightened.


When Director Li returned with his briefcase, he stopped in front of Xu Wennuan and said in a scolding manner, “Miss Xu, I’ve already made it clear to you that I will not work with you. Even if you stand here for eternity, I will not work with you.”
