Good Evening, Mr President! Chapter 16

Chapter 16

Coincidental or Not

The next day—

“Director Chi, we’re done investigating Li Chenyu’s background.”

As soon as Chi Zuxu entered his office, his a.s.sistant, Shi Rong, stepped forward to greet him.

“Go on.” The former removed his suit jacket in an elegant move and handed it to his secretary, Linda, who was trailing behind him.

“Li Chenyu is Li Yuexin’s youngest son. I believe you heard of Li Yuexin from Likang Technology Group before; the one who’s been inviting you out for a game of golf since a couple of days ago? From what I have heard, he’s very keen on working with our company, so he’s been trying to arrange a meeting with you via his connections ever since he heard of your return to the country!”

“Is that so?” The man lifted his thin lips into a smirk as he raised his s.e.xy jaws and languidly loosened his necktie. He then meaningfully added, “Thanks to his son, I’m now keen on letting him do so!”

“Roger.”

Understanding what his boss meant, Shi Rong left the office after receiving his order.

************

A luxurious business banquet was held at Singles’ Winery where it was bustling with noise and excitement, wine gla.s.ses and gambling chips laid intertwined and well-dressed women sauntered around.

The most prominent guest of this banquet was no doubt the legendary figure of the Chi Corporation who had just returned from abroad — Chi Zuxu.

It was rumored that he went abroad at the age of eighteen, established an overseas subsidiary company of the Chi Corporation at nineteen and at the tender age of twenty-three, the college student was already in the top ten of Forbes’ highest-earning list. Now, at twenty-eight, the man had been hailed as the most attractive elite that women wanted to marry for three consecutive years!

“h.e.l.lo, Director Chi! h.e.l.lo, it’s truly my honor to meet you!”

Li Yuexin wormed his way through the crowd with a wine gla.s.s in hand and respectfully greeted the legendary figure with a handshake and a beaming smile on his face.

“Nice to meet you, Director Li.”

Chi Zuxu blandly reached his hand out to return the handshake.

The former was taken aback and clearly feeling somewhat overwhelmed. “Director Chi actually knows me? This is truly my honor!!”

However, the smile on his thin lips remained faint and estranged. “I don’t only know Director Chi, but I also know your son, Li Chenyu.”

“Oh?”

The other man was astonished to hear this.

“Coincidentally, he attends the same school as my niece.” He tugged the corners of his lips.

“What a coincidence! Haha…” Li Yuexin let out a hearty laugh.

My boy must have a pretty good relationship with his niece. Who knows, there might be a chance of him marrying that young missy? That will truly be the day that the Lis climb to greater heights.

At the thought of this, he hastily plastered an obsequious smile to his face. “My boy, Chenyu, might be young, but he does things rather earnestly and his apt.i.tude is not bad! Should there be a chance in the future, I hope that Director Chi can groom him! If you have the time, let’s meet up for a meal with your niece. What do you think about that?”

Chi Zuxu sneered. “Unfortunately, it’s a bad time right now. A beast scratched my niece in the face a couple of days back, so she’s not in the mood to attend any meal arrangements.”

“A beast?”

“Yes, what a coincidence, Director Li.” He c.o.c.ked a brow as he replied lightly, “From what she told me, that beast’s name happens to be… Li Chenyu!”

“…”

The smile on Li Yuexin’s face gradually stiffened and faded away.

What came after was an ashen look.

“Director Chi… Director Chi…”

“Please hear me out… Director Chi—”

The young man no longer paid any attention to him. Instead, the indifferent man turned around and left the banquet hall, leaving behind the older man standing in the crowd. The latter’s face was drained of color as he cursed, “That rascal is causing me trouble yet again! See how I beat you to death when I return!!”
