The Scheming Billionaire's Heartfelt Devotion-Chapter 764 - 779: A Pawn Sacrificed and Used by You.

"Oh, could it be that our President Qi... doesn’t like women?" Xiao Zhang belatedly added another sentence, realizing too late that she had spoken too quickly.

Zhong Li shook her head speechlessly, thinking how peculiar the young girl’s thought process was.

Assistant Wang gave her a big eye roll: "No wonder you’ve been at the company for so many years and you’re still a minor finance assistant. How can you speak without thinking? Go back to work."

Xiao Zhang rubbed her eyes and slipped out of the office dejectedly.

Chu Ci picked up the financial report on the table, stood up with a smile: "I’ll deliver the document to President Qi first."

"Good luck. If you’re not out in ten minutes, I’ll come to the rescue," Assistant Wang said with a straight face.

Zhong Li nodded and walked out in her high heels. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

At the door of the president’s office, she knocked a few times and entered only after hearing a response from inside.

The room was filled with a tense atmosphere. Zhong Li politely nodded at the woman sitting on the sofa, then walked to the desk and handed the document to Qi Shangyu: "President Qi, this is the quarterly report just brought over from the finance department."

Qi Shangyu took the document and casually glanced through it: "You may leave now."

"Okay."

Zhong Li had just turned to leave when the woman on the sofa called her back: "Make me a cup of coffee."

This woman was Qi Shangyu’s mother, Li Jiaxue. With neat short hair and a meticulously made-up face showing no trace of a smile, she was dressed in a particularly sharp manner, wearing white wide-leg pants and a black chiffon top, with high heels.

Before Zhong Li could speak, Qi Shangyu, sitting at the desk, said: "My assistant is not here to make you coffee." He then looked at Zhong Li: "You may leave now."

Li Jiaxue’s scrutinizing gaze fell on Zhong Li, who was wearing a white dress today, her long wavy hair cascading over her shoulder blades: "No milk, add sugar, go quickly."

Zhong Li nodded with a smile: "Okay, I’ll go right away."

After the office door closed, Li Jiaxue glanced at Qi Shangyu, who was looking down at the documents: "You must come to dinner tonight. Uncle Xia’s family only has Xia Mo as a daughter. If you two get together, it would be a tremendous help for the company. Besides, the Xia family is well-matched with us."

"I’m not going." Qi Shangyu continued to look down at the documents in his hand.

"If you don’t go, I’ll come here every day."

Qi Shangyu closed the file angrily: "Mom, don’t interfere with my personal life. It’s not up to you to decide whom I want to like."

"Which girl today isn’t after money? You’ve experienced this before. Finding someone well-matched is the most suitable choice."

Li Jiaxue stood up from the sofa and walked to the desk in her high heels.

"Can you stop tying feelings and interests together all the time? I’m your son, not a pawn for you to sacrifice and manipulate."

Just as he finished speaking, there was a knock on the office door. Qi Shangyu tugged at his tie and responded, "Come in."

Zhong Li entered with a cup of coffee and placed it in front of Li Jiaxue: "Here’s your coffee."

Li Jiaxue looked at Zhong Li with arms crossed, her eyes holding something Zhong Li couldn’t understand, yet she showed no intention of taking the coffee.
