Confrontation!
Li Zhenting was once again taken aback.
Invited her?
“Wait,” he exclaimed before Shen Ning could leave the president’s office, quickly realizing the situation.
“Are you Miss Daisy?” he asked loudly, his sharpness coming through.
Shen Ning paused, her fingers tightly clutching the pendant on her handbag.
“And if I am?” she replied calmly, turning gracefully and teasingly waving an invitation card between her fingers.
Li Zhenting’s pale complexion changed once again, his deep gaze cold and inscrutable as he observed her.
After six years, this woman had become a stranger to him. The meek and timid woman who used to tremble in his presence, afraid to speak up, was nowhere to be found.
Now she stood before him, vibrant and flamboyant, like a rose covered in thorns. She was even more beautiful and poised than before…
Indeed, he had invited the renowned international fragrance expert, Miss Daisy, to discuss cooperation with the Guqi Perfume Company. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have arrived so early.
Shen Mei was the owner of Guqi Perfume Company, but it was clear that she wasn’t skilled in managing the company. Since taking over, the company had incurred losses year after year. If it weren’t for the sake of her two children, Li Zhenting wouldn’t have bothered with it at all.
Despite the wealth of the Li Corporation, as a shrewd businessman, he didn’t want to be a fool pouring billions of dollars into a bottomless pit.
Therefore, he decided to take matters into his own hands and hired an international expert in hopes of turning the situation around.
However…
He never expected that this expert would turn out to be Shen Ning, his ex-wife who had attempted suicide six years ago.
“What is your motive?” He almost assumed that Shen Ning had come here to intentionally cause trouble. With a stern face, he scoffed disdainfully.
“Motive?” Shen Ning sneered coldly, her voice dripping with contempt. “I simply want to expand and strengthen Guqi Perfume, to restore its former glory.”
“Do you have such good intentions?”
“Why else would I come?” Shen Ning’s voice suddenly rose several degrees, sharp and piercing. “Could it be that I’m attracted to your handsome appearance, Mr. Li, and came here to seduce you? Do you really think that being handsome makes every woman want to throw themselves at you? How arrogant!”
The secretary happened to enter with tea and witnessed the scene, her face turning pale with shock.
My goodness, who is this woman? She dares to speak to Mr. Li in such a manner. Mind you, even their boss, Shen Mei, lowers her voice and trembles in front of Mr. Li. She’s truly fearless.
And she’s wrong, isn’t she? Mr. Li is the richest man in the city, young, handsome, and wealthy. There must be countless women wanting to climb into his bed. It’s true that any woman would want to throw themselves at him.
A cold aura emanated from Li Zhenting, his entire being exuding an oppressive force.
In the capital city, she was the first woman to dare to be so audacious in front of him!
His brooding gaze locked onto this woman who showed no signs of fear.
Shen Ning’s almond-shaped eyes remained cold and indifferent, devoid of any trace of fear.
The two of them stood in an icy standoff.
Deep inside, Shen Ning felt a faint ache.
Until now, Li Zhenting had no idea that the Guqi Perfume Company was established by her mother, Shao Meiqi. In his eyes, it was merely a company given to Shen Mei by her father, Shen Deshun.
The perfume formula left by her grandmother was the result of her mother’s lifelong efforts and her deep longing for love. Unfortunately, it was all in vain.
“Alright, Miss Shen, since you are so talented, let’s have a proper discussion,” Li Zhenting suddenly curved his thin lips, a shift from his usual arrogance. He took the initiative to break the impasse.
He felt a flicker of interest and wanted to see what this woman, whom he hadn’t seen for years, was truly capable of. She dared to make such bold claims in front of him.
Playing the game of an eagle capturing a chick, a performance he excelled at!
After all, she was just a woman, and moreover, she was his former wife whom he once looked down upon!
He calmly took a seat on the sofa once again.
Shen Ning, composed and unruffled, walked over and sat opposite him.
