The Scheming Billionaire's Heartfelt Devotion-Chapter 781 - 796: I said not to interfere with my relationship issues.

Zhong Li glanced at Li Jiaxue without a trace of emotion. Yesterday, trying to pay her off didn’t succeed, and today she’s causing trouble at the company—what a slew of tricks she has.

Qi Shangyu closed the file in his hand: "Mom, don’t interfere with the company matters. I will take care of things abroad."

"Your cousin has already called me. I must handle this personally."

Li Jiaxue put down her coffee cup and smiled at Zhong Li: "I’ve already asked the company’s veterans; they all think Assistant Zhong is the most suitable candidate."

Zhong Li stood there smiling silently, waiting to hear what Qi Shangyu would say.

Saying what she did at the café yesterday was actually just because she couldn’t stand people like Li Jiaxue, wanting to annoy her. If the company finally decides to send her abroad, then Zhong Li would have to resign.

"Mom, I don’t think Zhong Li is the most suitable choice. After all, she hasn’t been with the company long, and her work ability is still uncertain. I still feel it’s better to send an older employee instead."

Qi Shangyu’s reasoning was logical, making it impossible for Li Jiaxue to refute even if she wanted.

Qi Shangyu looked up at Zhong Li: "You can leave now."

"Okay, President Qi." Zhong Li nodded with a smile.

After the office door closed, Qi Shangyu spoke again: "Mom, are you deliberately targeting her?"

As smart as Qi Shangyu is, he knows full well how shrewd his mother is. She must have noticed his feelings for Zhong Li, which is why she wants to send her abroad.

"Why would I target a mere assistant?" Li Jiaxue countered his question, looking at Qi Shangyu.

"You’ve called her just an assistant. How could such a position be sent abroad to undertake important missions?"

Li Jiaxue walked to the desk, crossing her arms as she looked at Qi Shangyu: "Since the words have been spoken, you should know my intention. Just fire her quickly; such a woman will never enter our Qi Family."

"Mom, I’ve said not to interfere with my personal matters." Qi Shangyu’s face clearly showed anger.

"Son, Mom is doing this for your own good. What help can she offer you, someone without background or family?"

Qi Shangyu picked up a pack of cigarettes from the desk, took one, and lit it: "I don’t need help from anyone. It’s best if you don’t disturb her."

"Disturb?" Li Jiaxue looked at Qi Shangyu in disbelief: "Are you using the word ’disturb’ with your own mother because of a woman? Do you know how ambitious she is?"

Qi Shangyu inhaled his cigarette with a frown, letting the white smoke escape from the corner of his mouth.

"You’ve seen her, haven’t you?"

"Clearing away obstacles around you is my responsibility. I must make you see the true face of this woman."

Whether it was the color of the lipstick or the sharp light in Li Jiaxue’s eyes at that moment, it gave her an inexplicable aura of strength.

"How much did you give this time?"

Qi Shangyu looked at his mother with disappointment, even a fleeting moment of hatred in his eyes.

"The amount doesn’t matter; what matters is she wants our whole company. This woman is only interested in your money and status."

"Mom, I said before that my feelings are my bottom line, and you’ve crossed it once again."

Qi Shangyu’s deep voice carried a chilling air as his dark eyes were obscured in the thin smoke mist.
