The Scheming Billionaire's Heartfelt Devotion-Chapter 782 - 797: You Dare Eavesdrop on the President’s Secrets?
Three years ago, Qi Shangyu had a first love he had been dating for many years. However, because she was a girl from an ordinary family with no background or family connections, Li Jiaxue despised her. She even tried to use money to get rid of the girl behind his back, but the girl refused.
An intentional car accident almost killed his girlfriend’s father. To pay for her father’s surgery, the girl wanted to find Qi Shangyu for help but was stopped halfway by Li Jiaxue.
She took a check out of her bag and handed it to the girl, telling her she could go to Qi Shangyu, but next time, there was no guarantee that her parents would be so lucky to survive.
Qi Shangyu’s girlfriend didn’t want her parents to be hurt because of her, so in the end, she could only take the money and leave An City with her family.
"I think, for Zhong Zhu’s sake, you should fire her as soon as possible."
Li Jiaxue was warning her son.
In anger, Qi Shangyu overturned the things on the table: "In the past, I couldn’t protect the woman I loved. It’s different now. Just try to touch her."
Assistant Wang, who had just reached the door to deliver documents, heard the sound of things being smashed and his own boss harshly yelling inside, and his heart almost jumped out of his chest in fear.
He steadied his nerves and carefully pressed himself against the door crack, attempting to hear the conversation inside.
Zhong Li, coming out of the office, looked at Assistant Wang’s fearless behavior, really worried he would be punished to clean the office again.
"You dare eavesdrop on the boss?" Zhong Li said to him from behind.
Assistant Wang was startled, hurriedly making a hush gesture: "Don’t speak, it will be bad if we’re found out."
"You know it will be bad if you get caught, so why are you gossiping here?"
Zhong Li really couldn’t understand; he had never seen a man so nosy and absorbed in gossip. No trouble, no punishment...
"There was the sound of things being thrown and arguing inside just now. I don’t know what Empress Dowager Cixi and our boss were talking about, I’m just curious to hear"
Arguing and throwing things?
Could it be that Qi Shangyu really likes her... This thought flashed through Zhong Li’s mind.
Looking at Assistant Wang, who continued to eavesdrop against the door, Zhong Li worried that he might really be the reason for the argument inside and wasn’t too keen on Assistant Wang hearing anything.
"Get going, if the boss finds out you’ll be sent to clean the office again."
Upon hearing the words "clean the office," Assistant Wang quickly retracted himself. Last time, he almost broke his back from cleaning, and as a special assistant to the CEO, it was very embarrassing.
"Let’s go, let’s go, I just remembered I’ve got tons of work to do."
Watching Assistant Wang walk away from the office, Zhong Li couldn’t help but laugh. No wonder he’s been single, with his level of gossip, no girl could stand it.
.......
In the CEO’s office, Qi Shangyu and Li Jiaxue ended their meeting on a bad note.
Qi Shangyu stood with one hand in his pocket in front of the large floor-to-ceiling window, the crimson glow of a cigarette flickering between his fingers. He stood motionless for a long time before turning around to walk to his desk and picked up the telephone on the desk with the hand holding the cigarette, dialing the extension.
"Hello, President Qi." Zhong Li’s clear and dustless voice came through the receiver.
"Come to my office."
"Okay."
After hanging up the phone, Zhong Li turned off the computer and went out. She stood at the door of the CEO’s office, knocked lightly a few times, and only after hearing a sound from inside did she push the door and walk in.
