Mr Indifferent CEO, Be Careful With My Heart

Chapter 74 - Long Term Debt

CHAPTER 74

"She needs to take things seriously, lest she want to become the ruin of her father’s company."

Once again, both men nodded their heads to his words. They agreed to it as he made sense to the whole situation and threw more light on things that needed to be considered more closely.

"Anyways, since she could not respect my person enough to come prepared for the meeting, I would respect myself by not doing business with them rather them embarrassing me in the future."

"Truly spoken well, sir."

"No, I just stated things as simply as they are. Now let me put a call cross to her."

Having said that, he took his phone from his pocket and dialed her number. It rang trice before Li Xiu picked the call.

"Hello?"

Mr. Kang could hear the sound of music playing at the back ground and removed the phone from his ears to check the time before placing it back on his ears.

"Hello," Li Xiu’s voice rang out again, this time there was a hint of impatience in it.

Hearing her speak like that was enough reason for him to just cut the call and forget about her. Fortunately for Li Xiu, based on his nature, he decided to give her a second chance and not cut the call.

"Hello, Miss Li."

At the sound of his voice, Li Xiu eyes widened and she quickly composed herself and changed her tone of voice.

"Good afternoon Mr. Kang. How do you do?"

"Good afternoon. How do you do too?’

"I am great. Mr. Kang, as regards the earlier arrangement."

"Miss Li, my words remain unchanged. Have Li Jing present the slide during the meeting and the business deal would push through.’

"I am sorry, but Li Jing has left the company. Would your condition not change? Can’t someone else present the marketing slides?’

"Really, is there any slide to be presented?"

"Yes. There is. All I want is for you to give us a second try and you won’t be disappointed." Li Xiu was running out of options or ways to make this man stay and not leave.

"My secretary would communicate with you and would let you know when a meeting would be fixed. I expect a proper presentation and if you fail to deliver and meet up to my expectations, then you cannot blame me if I take my money elsewhere and invest in another business."

A smile crept up Li Xiu’s face at his words. She felt elated from just hearing this news alone and all her heart ache and worry dissipated at that instant. ’Yes, time to get it right!’ she exclaimed in her mind.

Li Xiu cleared her throat softly before responding to him. "Thank you very much. My assistant would keep in touch with her for the meeting."

"Okay. Till then."

"Yes, till..."

Beep! Beep!

The call went dead even before she finished talking and her veins began to pop out on her head.

Li Xiu hated being interrupted and what was worse was when she was still talking on the phone and the caller hung up on her.

She was about fuming with rage when she recalled where she was. Her chest heaved up and down with each successive deep breath she took and exhaled slowly.

By the time she was quite sure that she was okay and fit to handle any more annoying situation, she put on her best smile and walked back to her seat in the high class bar.

She got to where she was seated and her eyes landed on a guy who sat down casually like he owned the place.

Well, technically, he did own the place.

"You know I hate to be kept waiting, Li Xiu.’

"I know, sorry to have kept you waiting. It was an important client that called," Li Xiu apologized and sat down on the seat opposite his chair.

"Now, where were we?’

"Time to collect the debt you owe me."

"Tsk, tsk! Who would have thought that you would end up being this way? Has your mother’s pampering made you so..."

Before he could complete his statement, Li Xiu interrupted him. "Gu Yao! Watch it!" she yelled at him but due to the loud music, it came off as a half yell.

Her brows furrowed into a deep frown as she stared deeply at him. He of all people knew better than anyone how she could get when she was angry.

She was a rich spoilt brat alright and if not that she was friends with the girl he loved, he would never had gone to talk to her.

Back then he needed her friend’s help in other to win the girl he loved and Li Xiu happened to be the close friend to her then.

With her help, he won her friend’s heart back then when they were in the university and he was happy with his relationship.

Of course her help was not for free as her mother had inculcated some habits into her. At first she refused him when he said he would get her something as a form of thanks but after some pondering, Li Xiu asked that he owe her a favour and anytime she needed it, she would request it from him.

It had been years since then and after graduation, his father had a terminal illness which ended up making him inherit the family’s business and become the Mafia leader of one of the mafia gangs in the city.

Who better than he to help her find who she was looking for?

A loud chuckle erupted from his throat as he laughed at her angry expression. "Li Xiu, you are in my turf in case you have forgotten. Raise your voice once more and I would forget I even know you," his deep voice echoed the words, carrying with it a sense of danger and warning.

At his words, Li Xiu could feel a certain chill run down her spine and she swallowed hard.

"Fine."
