Chapter 467: Chapter 467: Waited for a Full One and a Half Hours
 

Qu Linjun was annoyed and flustered because Li Shengxiao personally came to deal with the matter. He glared at him as if looking at an idiot and scolded, “Shut your mouth, you fool! Don’t you dare say that kind of thing later on. If I hear it again, I’ll send you to support the mountainous area and serve the people!”

The district chief secretary was startled. Seeing that he was truly angry, he didn’t dare to speak again, “I’m sorry, district chief, I spoke out of turn.”

After berating his secretary thoroughly, he turned around, pacing back and forth in irritation. Looking at the delicate and pretty Rong Weiwei, his expression slightly softened. He managed to squeeze out a smile, “Weiwei, I’ll be relying on you later with Uncle. You have to speak well of me in front of Mr. Li.”

Rong Weiwei smiled obediently, “Don’t worry, Uncle. As long as I can help, I definitely will. It’s just that I’ve only met Mr. Li once, and I’m not sure if he still remembers me.”

If she could, she really wouldn’t want to remember that utterly embarrassing meeting.

At that time, Shi Mufeng had intended to set her up nicely, to make a good impression at the charity dinner hosted by Lin Zhiya, and to forge a connection with her by chance.

Who would have thought that everything was going smoothly until Rong Yan appeared out of nowhere, soaked to the skin, and slapped her in public.

That could have been the end of it, but the situation spiraled completely out of her control afterward.

The most mysterious and respected man in Capital City also arrived, and somehow she must have picked the wrong day or encountered Mr. Li in a bad mood. He didn’t even grant the Shi Family’s face, instructing security to throw her out. It caused her to lose face in front of Capital City’s social elite, and to this day, some people still bring up the incident.

However, one must look forward, and that was just a streak of bad luck for her.

This time, by chance, she overheard at a dinner party that the elusive Mr. Li from Li Group had come to Lin City, and it seemed the district chief urgently needed to meet with him.

She had a sudden thought.

If… She meant if… If she could captivate this powerful and promising young Mr. Li, then what would Rong Yan’s so-called background even mean before her?

To take a step back, even if she couldn’t win this man over, just by establishing a relationship with him, she wouldn’t be at a loss.

“Remember, of course he’ll remember!” He was now desperately seeking help, otherwise, he wouldn’t have heard Rong Weiwei say she had met that man once and brought her along like clutching at a lifeline. It’s just that he still didn’t know that Rong Weiwei’s so-called meeting and what he imagined sitting down for a meal together were completely different things!

“Weiwei, you’re so beautiful, how could Mr. Li possibly forget you?”

Being praised as beautiful made Rong Weiwei’s heart indescribably comfortable.

She lied without blushing or skipping a beat, still accepting Qu Linjun’s flattery as she said softly, “Mr. Li is a busy man, I’m just worried he might have forgotten me.”

“Even if he doesn’t remember, he must have seen you on television at least. With such a great beauty speaking for me, Mr. Li will certainly be willing to listen to you even if he’s still angry.”

“Mmm, if I can be of help, I will definitely explain things well to Mr. Li for Uncle,” Rong Weiwei said, concealing the ambition in her eyes, and like someone shy, she slightly bowed her head, modestly curling up the corners of her lips without speaking further.

Qu Linjun felt a bit cooler inside after hearing her words, his anxious heart calming down as he started to wait.

What he didn’t expect was that this wait would last for one and a half hours.

Their coffee had gone cold, yet no one had come in.

But they couldn’t leave, even though the person hadn’t arrived.
