Chapter 469: Chapter 469: Remembering an Unimportant Person
 

Rong Weiwei had recently been plagued by scandals, and her opportunities in television and film were unexpectedly withdrawn, but she still did a considerable amount of advertisements. One could see her image on TV at any time.

Therefore, her popularity hadn’t dropped much.

He wanted to say, and didn’t you meet before, even had dinner together?

Li Shengxiao took a sip of his coffee, his stomach cramped as if in protest. He put down the cup without glancing at the woman beside him and cut off his incessant chatter, “I haven’t seen her!”

The words “I haven’t seen her” struck Rong Weiwei’s face like a slap, causing her face to burn with embarrassment, turning shades of green, white, and red.

She clenched her fists, forcing herself not to lose her composure, and smiled faintly, “I’ve been resting lately and haven’t released any work, so it’s normal for Mr. Li not to have seen me on TV. However, I have met Mr. Li once before.”

Her appearance was naturally not bad; after more than a decade of privileged living with the Rong Family, the air of rusticity had long since faded from her. With her pure and endearing look, she was probably what people referred to when they described girls like her. Her features were not particularly outstanding, but they were beautiful and the type that men liked. Her smile made her all the more appealing.

Li Shengxiao glanced at her, then instructed his assistant, “Since she is irrelevant, take her out!”

To be taken out was tantamount to being thrown out.

“Mr. Li?” Rong Weiwei had always been confident in her looks, but being repeatedly humiliated to this extent made it hard for her to save face. Her cheeks no longer just felt hot; they were burning with an awkward shame!

Qu Linjun was also taken aback, saying in shock, “Mr. Li, you want to throw Weiwei out?”

“Does District Chief Qu wish to leave with her?” With one sentence, Qu Linjun closed his mouth.

Rong Weiwei stood still, looking as if she had been stripped bare, wishing she had never come.

“Miss, would you please wait outside with me?” The assistant had just seen Rong Weiwei behaving too familiarly, greeting and interrupting others to display herself, and he thought she knew their CEO. But the next second, she was chased out by the CEO, which was a slap in the face.

Rong Weiwei took a deep breath, her fingertips trembling as she clenched her fists, and awkwardly walked out of the office.

As soon as she left,

Li Shengxiao curled his fingers and turned to the middle-aged man, who was still confused by the sudden turn of events, and spoke indifferently, “Did District Chief Qu come because of the previous executive issue?”

Qu Linjun snapped back to reality with a start and hastily said, “Mr. Li, there’s been a misunderstanding. I didn’t know he had misappropriated Hengtong’s funds—if I had known, I definitely wouldn’t have taken them. I borrowed the money from Li Group, and I’ll pay it back in a few days. No, I’ll pay it back tomorrow!”

Even if it meant selling his pot and selling his house, he had to plug this hole first.

He didn’t want to provoke this man at all.

Who knew how Vice Mayor Wang had managed to anger this man before, getting thrown into jail for abuse of power, and still hadn’t come out.

He hadn’t even reached the position of vice mayor; how could he dare to provoke this man?

“If Mr. Li needs it urgently, today, even today is possible,” he said, wiping the sweat from his forehead and speaking tentatively.

Li Shengxiao, watching the man’s pathetic appearance unfold in front of him, narrowed his eyes with impatience and said bluntly, “You’ve made two mistakes.”

“Please tell me, Mr. Li.”

“First, you shouldn’t have targeted a subsidiary of Li Group. When the problem came to light, you still tried to clear your own name. The families caused trouble outside for days, and you didn’t care until I showed up,” he said.

Qu Linjun’s legs quivered. At that time, he indeed thought that the people from Hengtong wouldn’t dare to mess with him even if they found something, but while Hengtong might not dare, Li Shengxiao above would!

This man’s background wasn’t something to be taken lightly!

“Second,”

He perked up his ears, waiting for Li Shengxiao to tell him what the second mistake was.

Li Shengxiao’s gaze, cold as ice slush, turned towards him, fiercely protective, “Rong Yan is my girlfriend.”

Rong Yan was his girlfriend, and he, fiercely protective!
