âMr. Li, please hold on a moment.â Shen Ning watched as Li Zhenting, who had risen without saying a word, attempted to leave. She immediately called out to him.
This despicable man was planning to escape after seeing her succeed. He intended to protect Shen Mei, but that was unacceptable!
Li Zhenting paused in his steps.
âMr. Li, please come over here. There are some matters we need to resolve,â Shen Ningâs bright eyes sparkled with a mischievous smile.
He had promised her that if the tea gathering was successful, he would allow her to handle Shen Mei.
She couldnât let him pretend nothing had happened and simply walk away.
Li Zhenting slowly turned around, his stoic figure now facing Shen Ning. Her delicate frame was immediately overshadowed by his tall and robust presence.
He stood at an impressive 1.88 meters, exuding an air of dignity and regality. He regarded Shen Ning with an imperious gaze, his body emitting a chilling aura.
Shen Ning couldnât help but feel a little nervous. This man was like a demon, and she knew it all too well.
Nevertheless, she stood tall, her lips slightly pursed, and asked directly, âMr. Li, may I inquire if tonightâs tea gathering was a success?â
Li Zhentingâs eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked at Jing Chenxi, who was standing nearby, before uttering coldly, âIf you wish to think so, then consider it a success.â
âThen, let me ask the individuals present. After all, gaining the approval of everyone is persuasive.â Despite the reluctant affirmation, Shen Ning smiled coldly and turned to the audience.
âSuccess! A resounding success!â Even before she could ask, a wave of enthusiastic applause erupted from the audience. All the women clapped and chorused together.
âThank you, everyone.â Shen Ning smiled faintly, turned around, and lifted her small face. She spoke seriously, âMr. Li, tonight I have succeeded. You wonât forget the promise you made to me, will you?â
Li Zhentingâs gaze remained deep, and he remained silent.
Shen Mei, realizing that things werenât looking good, tried to sneak away.
âShen Mei, please stop.â Shen Ning kept a watchful eye on her and immediately spoke sternly when she turned to leave.
Shen Meiâs face turned pale.
âZhenting, Iâm sorry. As a shareholder of the company, when an employee raised concerns to me, I considered the companyâs best interests and felt obligated to address the matter. Please believe me.â She approached Li Zhenting and tugged at his sleeve, her big watery eyes brimming with glistening tears.
Li Zhentingâs face remained stiff, devoid of any warmth.
âShen Mei, are you truly acting in the companyâs best interests? Please examine your conscience.â Shen Ningâs gaze turned icy. âLet me ask you this: During the time 1 was developing perfumes, the entire market couldnât obtain any Peruvian balsam. Later, through my investigation, I found that a man with the last name Lan monopolized the entire market with the intention of preventing me from acquiring it. If it werenât for Mr. Jingâs assistance, tonightâs tea gathering wouldnât have been possible. I want to ask you, is this matter related to you?â
âI⦠I donât know. 1 donât know anyone named Lan,â Shen Meiâs eyes darted around nervously as she spoke.
âBut that Mr. Lan is undoubtedly your cousin.â Shen Ning sneered.
Shen Mei was momentarily speechless. She hadnât expected Shen Ning to be so thorough in her investigation.
Shen Ning continued to fix her piercing gaze on Shen Mei, whose eyes were avoiding hers.
âShen Mei, you instructed someone to steal the small black bottle containing ethanol from my office and maliciously added formaldehyde to it, attempting to frame and destroy me during this tea gathering. These actions were witnessed by everyone here,â Shen Ningâs tone grew increasingly severe.
Shen Meiâs face turned even paler. @@novelbin@@
âMr. Li, last time, Shen Mei splashed a highly corrosive liquid on my face, attempting to ruin my appearance. 1 had stated that I must seek revenge, and you had agreed. So, may I ask: Can I now deal with Shen Mei?â Shen Ning once again turned her gaze to Li Zhenting..
