“No.” A moment later, Shen Ning shook her head.
It was her bad luck that she, who was usually punctual, was late today. It felt as though he had foreseen it with his calculations.
“Then you’ll be fined according to company regulations,” Li Zhenting’s tone turned icy, devoid of any leniency.
Shen Ning paused, instinctively patting her pocket. A slight ingratiating smile appeared on her face as she asked, “Mr. Li, how much will be deducted?”
“Five thousand.”
Holy cow!
Shen Ning almost jumped up. You might as well rob me!
Considering her pitiful amount of dollars, deducting another five thousand yuan would make covering Coco and Xiaoxiao’s tuition fees next month a problem!
Just as she was about to offer an explanation, she lifted her gaze and saw that Li Zhenting’s face, usually cold, had turned as frosty as a frozen ice shard.
Ah, forget it.
She suppressed her inner anger.
No matter what, the tea gathering was about to start. If she could succeed in one fell swoop, her financial issue would naturally be resolved. Five thousand yuan wouldn’t be a big deal. Besides, she was in the wrong to begin with.
“Fine, I’m willing to accept the punishment,” she said in a low voice.
Li Zhenting gave her a cold glance and inquired in a detached tone, “How’s the perfume blending coming along? The tea gathering starts on Friday.”
“I know.” Suddenly, Shen Ning gained confidence and lifted her head. “Rest assured, 1’11 surely present a satisfactory answer.”
“Is that so?” Li Zhenting’s gaze turned dark and mocking as he remarked, “It seems you have someone helping you from behind, given your confidence.” Shen Ning was taken aback. Why did that sound sarcastic?
Whatever, she didn’t care.
“Mr. Li, please remember, if 1 succeed, you can’t go back on your promise,” she solemnly reminded him.
With a cold expression, Li Zhenting grunted noncommittally, then turned and walked outside.
Shen Ning’s money had been deducted, hurting her badly. As soon as he left, she slammed the door shut with a loud “bang” and headed to the lab to blend the perfume.
She had to succeed!
He wanted to protect Shen Mei? It wouldn’t be that easy!
In the afternoon, Li Zhenting was in the middle of a multinational executive video conference when his phone suddenly rang.
He picked it up and was surprised to see it was a call from Ding Ding.
Ding Ding never called him during working hours.
He quickly answered, “Ding Ding, is something the matter?”
On the other end, as soon as Ding Ding heard Li Zhenting’s voice, he was itching with anger.
“Scumbag, not only do you deceive women, but you also deceive children. You have no class!”
He cursed in his mind and then put on a smile on his round little face, speaking in a sweet voice, “Daddy, 1 want to bring a little friend from kindergarten to our house.”
Li Zhenting was taken aback, and then a smile appeared on his face.
This little guy had never said he wanted to bring a friend home before. This was definitely a good sign!
Thinking about how cold he had been to him yesterday and how he took the initiative to call him today, not to mention wanting to bring a friend home, it was still a pretty good performance.
“Sure, if you bring her over, you need to treat her well and not neglect her,” Li Zhenting replied gently. “Tell Daddy first, is your friend a boy or a girl?”
“She’s a girl, a very pretty and gentle little girl.” Coco smiled, revealing his two rows of tiny white teeth.
“Oh, a little girl. Okay, treat her well, don’t bully her,” Li Zhenting’s lips curled slightly.
Bully her? Coco’s heart burned with indignation upon hearing that.
Who’s bullying girls? You’re the one bullying girls! And now you’re lecturing me?
Without hesitation, he hung up with a loud “click.”
On the other end, Li Zhenting was stunned.. What a little rascal, he’s acting like this again!
