Second Part: 'Big Sugar in the East' Chapter 181

airport, and as he walked towards it, a wave of nervousness washed over him. He shouldn't have listened to his friends' advice and tried to create some romantic surprise.His buddies told him that any...After roughly introducing the county's projects, Gu Ruandong frankly said: "Whether to connect with Mr. Zhao for work, you decide yourself."

Zhao Tingxing has the upper hand, Han Li will agree. The tug-of-war between a man and a woman is a back-and-forth dance.

As expected, Han Li readily agreed: "No problem. But I have one small request. If the project goes smoothly, my company will be in charge of the subsequent design."

Gu Ruandong didn't say a word, it had nothing to do with him.

Zhao Tingxing immediately knew this woman wasn't ordinary, she was here to fleece him. He readily agreed: "Sure."

Anyway, this project won't materialize in the end, and she won't benefit from it.

Both of them came out of Gu Ruandong's office and arrived at the secretary's room outside. Zhao Tingxing saw that she was about to go in, reached out and grabbed her wrist: "Secretary Han, let me have a word with you."

Even at the Gus's, he didn't hesitate. His grip was firm, his tone teasing and suggestive, causing several secretaries in the office to glance over. He had observed that Han Li was a woman of pride and would never make a scene with him in public. But she forgot, he wasn't ashamed. So he grabbed her wrist, almost forcing her to go out with him.

Helen raised her chin. "Let's go to the conference room and talk."

Zhao Tingxing, that bastard, she knew exactly what he was up to. So she chose to go to the conference room, a safe place where he wouldn't dare to act recklessly, unlike last time when she went to his car in the garage.

"Scared"

Hàn Lì sneered, walking ahead and leading him to the conference room.

To his surprise, Zhao Tingxing dared to act so brazenly. As soon as the meeting room door closed, he pounced on him, reaching directly from under his collar and digging in with surprising precision…

The image that flashed through his mind the moment he stepped into Gu's residence, when he saw her.

Zhaotingxing didn't care about surveillance at all. When he was pushed, he let go and smiled, "You're talking out of both sides of your mouth, don't you really want to"

Zhao Tingxing: "Remove my number from the blacklist, and I'll be waiting for you in the garage. Come to 2203."

The intention is too obvious, straight to the point.

He wasn't willing to put too much effort into women, nor did he want to please them.

In his eyes, men who act deeply affectionate and shower women with sweet words just to get them into bed are broke puppies. Because they're poor, they can only rely on pretending to be deep or offering so-called emotional value to cheat innocent women. Only stupid women would fall for this, and Han Li is obviously not a stupid woman.

The blinds in the conference room were not drawn, and the lights were off. Only a dim light shone through the glass wall. Han Li's slender figure was like a blurry shadow. She leaned lightly against the conference table, her side profile as she played with her phone, lazy yet alluring.

After fiddling with it, she finally looked up at him: "I'm busy, I have a meeting with clients in a while."

Having said that, he opened the conference room door and walked out, leaving Zhao Tingxing with a nonchalant and dashing back.

Even though Han Li was working for the Gu Corporation, she didn't neglect her own company's affairs. She usually had Yi Wen keep an eye on things, but she couldn't avoid attending important client gatherings, so in the evenings, she would truly meet with clients and entertain them.

When she returned to her seat, she casually opened a monitor on her phone. It was the device she had put in Han Zhaoyi's children's watch last night. The device not only ensured the child's safety but also allowed her to see what Zhao Tingxing did on a daily basis.

At this moment, Han Zhao Yi is sitting on the sofa with his legs crossed, watching TV. Next to him sits a young girl who seems to be on the phone, her posture slightly stiff, as if she doesn't usually live there.

This girl, she remembered, was the one he had taken to the mall to go shopping a couple of days ago.

She calmly closed the video and mentally scored another point against Zhao Tingxing, that dog.

Zhao Tingxing had just arrived at the underground car park when Xiao Li called, asking him when he was coming back. She said that the child was making a fuss about tearing down the house, and now she had finally coaxed him well, and he was watching TV.

Zhao Tingxing only then remembered that these two people were in his hotel suite. He said, "Something came up, I won't be back tonight. You take care of the children."

Truth dictates that a young woman should be treated as a free nanny.

He was waiting for Hanli in the garage. Wasn't he supposed to meet clients Wasn't he supposed to socialize Fine, no matter how late, he would wait.

Soon, Han Li came down driving with a shoulder bag. She was tall and wore high heels, giving her an aura as she walked.

He drove silently behind her, merging into the stream of traffic, then turned onto a side road and stopped in front of a restaurant.

She parked her car just like she was, clean and efficient. After slamming the door shut, she smiled and walked towards a group of people ahead, greeting each one individually.

Really meeting the client

Zhao Tingxing rolled down the car window, propping it up with one hand. He watched the woman weaving through a group of men in the distance. He had to admit, she was no longer the yellow-haired girl he remembered.

Today, Hanli met with a real estate company that her company had been trying to win over for half a year. Their industry is already competitive, and with the current economic climate, the competition is even fiercer. All the design companies are pulling out all the stops to compete.

Han Li had dinner with the company's leaders three times before. As the saying goes, "It's easier to see the King of Hell than to deal with his minions." After much effort, she finally managed to meet the big boss today, so she had to give it her all. The moment she sat at the table, she switched into battle mode.

Of course, she was a seasoned veteran. Though her heart might have been tight, what showed on the surface was still generous and graceful, relaxed yet controlled.

However, those who can sit at this table are not ordinary people. They are all shrewd and cunning. When they start urging you to drink, none of them will give you a break.

Han Li has two assistants here, a man and a woman, who arrived earlier to arrange the private room. They are currently sitting beside her. She intended for them to help her decline drinks during key moments, so she could drink less.

But the client side wasn't about to let her off easily: "General Han, having an assistant drink isn't sincere enough. Our boss especially cleared his schedule today to meet with you."

Han Li also laughed heartily: "You're right, this drink is on me."

She raised her head and downed a glass of wine in one gulp. She had anticipated drinking tonight during the car ride, so she ate a small piece of bread to line her stomach and took some antacids and hangover pills beforehand.

These medicines are all kept in her car for a long time, and she doesn't know how effective they are if taken in advance. At least it's some comfort to her mind.

The client's boss was a wolf in sheep's clothing. From the moment he sat down, he had a gentle expression and a smile, watching as people below him interacted with Han Li and Zhou. He didn't urge anyone to drink and rarely spoke, but when his subordinates tried to get him to drink, he watched with focused and amused expressions.

This is a typical old fox. Han Li could barely see him, so naturally he wouldn't want to drink for half the day and not even say a word.
