Chapter 75 The Second Confrontation(1/2)
Author: Ye Shun
Who revealed to Chen Jian that Zhang Ling took the initiative to discuss cooperation?
The number of people who knew about this matter could be counted, and Li Xiang probably already had a guess.
Shangguan Aoxue is the first and biggest target of suspicion.
But in fact, Li Xiang didn't know that the real controller of this matter was Li Xi.
Including having Zhang Ling meet Wang Li accurately while driving.
But it is true that Wang Li witnessed her husband having a blind date with another woman under the control of her mother.
The direct reason why Li Xi did this was to prevent Li Xiang from bringing Zhang Ling to the family sacrifice meeting.
Because Li Xi had the honor to hear that the elders of the family who loved her the most were discussing together to hand over all the property of the Li family to Li Xiang.
This decision will be officially announced and handed over at the family ceremony meeting.
But the prerequisite for this decision is that Li Xiangneng and Zhang Ling get married.
This is why when I sent an invitation letter to Li Xiang, I specifically emphasized that I should bring my girlfriend with me.
This is absolutely unacceptable to Li Xi, who has coveted the Li family's property for a long time.
Therefore, it is crucial to encourage Shangguan Aoxue to meet Zhang Ling again.
Zhang Ling came to XX Hotel in advance as required.
She was led by a waiter to a seat by the window.
Looking out the window at the beautiful scenery of water and sky is really refreshing.
Especially the boats floating slowly on the lake are very charming.
"Li Xiang, you really know how to enjoy it. You actually chose a place like this. I like it." She smiled to herself.
Shangguan Aoxue happened to appear next to Zhang Ling. She also looked at the scenery outside the window and smiled slightly:
"Do you like it? I was able to discover such a good place thanks to Li Xiang who brought me here last time for my birthday. Since then, I have fallen in love with it. I will come here from time to time to enjoy the scenery outside the window."
Zhang Ling listened to the words that were enough to arouse people's endless reverie, and turned around and looked at Shangguan Aoxue as calmly as possible.
But her heart had already used Li Xiang as a stress-relieving tool and kneaded it tens of thousands of times.
"Where is Li Xiang?" she asked without answering Shangguan Aoxue's words.
Although Shangguan Aoxue didn't hear what she wanted to hear, she keenly caught the moment Zhang Ling turned back, with a hint of jealousy in her eyes.
Since the first confrontation with Zhang Ling in the teahouse last time, Shangguan Aoxue's heart was filled with joy again and again.
I am confident that Shangguan Aoxue will be the biggest winner in this confrontation.
Zhang Ling looked at Shangguan Aoxue and said nothing. She just smiled lightly at her, with a sense of pride in her smile, and sat in front of her.
Elegantly picking up a green snack on the table, he said with a serious attitude of appraising treasures:
"This mung bean cake is a major feature of their hotel. It is said to be purely handmade, using mung beans imported from Australia, olive oil imported from Spain, and selected high-quality cane sugar. It is sweet but not greasy in your mouth, and has an endless aftertaste. Do you want it?
Want to taste it first?”
"Where are you, Mr. Li? I'm here to talk about work, not to eat, drink and have fun." Zhang Ling continued to ask persistently.
"I really don't understand! How can a person who only knows how to work but not enjoy life still hope to keep a man's heart?" Shangguan Aoxue shook her head with disdain as she spoke, and then put the mung bean cake in her hand into her mouth.
He took a small bite gracefully.
"What do you mean?"
Zhang Ling could hear the deep hostility in Shangguan Aoxue's words.
She originally suspected that Shangguan Aoxue was Li Xiang's temporary representative.
It seemed that she had a high regard for Shangguan Aoxue in the end.
This so-called secretary is probably just a pleasing vase that Li Xiang keeps around him.
Yes, that’s why Zhang Ling thinks so.
Because there was a sense of jealousy and crisis in her heart.
She comforted herself by thinking that she was the most capable and meaningful woman.
If she were a man, he would definitely choose a woman like her.
Shangguan Aoxue swallowed the food in her mouth with enjoyment, looked at Zhang Ling with a little sympathy and said:
"I heard that you once had a first love named Qi Diaozhe. The name sounds good, but it's just that he was a bit too awesome! I've been hanging on to you for many years, and I haven't heard from you at all."
Qi Diaozhe, she had almost forgotten this name.
When she mentioned it again, a happy smile flashed across her face.
Then she turned gloomy because of Shangguan Aoxue's last words.
She realized that this meeting was probably a scam, so she stood up and said:
"It seems that Mr. Li will not come. Then..."
How could Shangguan Aoxue let Zhang Ling leave so easily?
He immediately stopped him and said:
"Vice President Zhang, you have to understand that your group is now rushing to seek cooperation. If you leave now, doesn't it seem too insincere?"
Sure enough, since ancient times, the king of hell has been easy to deal with and difficult to deal with.
Shangguan Aoxue's behavior felt a bit like deliberately making things difficult.
If she hadn't been tasked with being the general manager of the group, she would have really wanted to turn around and leave immediately just to fight for her breath.
But she can't now!
"General Manager Li is coming?"
Zhang Ling looked at the document in her hand and asked again.
Shangguan Aoxue smiled slightly, picked up the uneaten snacks on the plate and said:
"Sit down first. This snack is really good. Are you really going to take one bite and leave?"
Once again, she did not get a clear answer from Shangguan Aoxue. This feeling of being ignored one after another made Zhang Ling really annoyed.
I was so annoyed that I forgot to call or send a message directly asking Li Xiang.
Zhang Ling suppressed the anger in her heart and sat down again with a little helplessness.
She didn't have lunch and happened to be a little hungry, so she picked up a piece and looked at it in her hand.
The pastry is indeed made with fine details, and there is a fragrance of mung beans near the mouth, especially the exquisite lines on it. If it were really hand-painted, it would be called a work of art.
He took a bite, chewed it a few times, and with a look of disgust on his face, he put the remaining pastry in his hand on the empty plate in front of him.
Shangguan Aoxue saw Zhang Ling's reaction and said proudly with a bit of confusion:
"Why doesn't it suit your taste? This is normal. After all, I am used to living a life without quality..."
"No!" Zhang Ling interrupted.
Interrupting and refuting in person, Shangguan Aoxue's face was full of anger.
For Shangguan Aoxue, only Li Xiang had treated her like this.
Because Li Xiang is the goal she has always pursued, she has a great tolerance for Li Xiang's interruptions and refutations.
But who is Zhang Ling?
He just used a little trick to deceive Li Xiang's bitch.
Today, her Shangguan Aoxue will definitely tear Zhang Ling's ugly face apart.
"Oh, it seems that Dr. Zhang must have something amazing to say? Can you share it with me?"
Even though Shangguan Aoxue tried her best to disguise herself, she could still hear a bit of gnashing of teeth.
Zhang Ling smiled slightly and said: "Since Secretary Shangguan asked sincerely, I will tell you with great mercy. Remember, I will only say it once."
"You..." Shangguan Aoxue wanted to abandon the elegance and curse at this time, but she still suppressed her smile and said, "You said it, I'm listening."
Zhang Ling looked at Shangguan Aoxue's reaction and couldn't help but feel happy. This woman still didn't seem to have made any progress since they left the teahouse.
Natural pride is always Shangguan's background, and the frivolous city cannot support his pride.
In the end, his self-righteous pride always becomes a laughing matter in the eyes of others.
It's like the best drawing paper made with the ultimate craftsmanship, and finally let a child who doesn't understand anything draw a childish picture.
What a waste of such good drawing paper!
She looked at Shangguan Aoxue, who was pretending to be elegant and slowly eating cakes.
Since you like to pretend to be elegant in front of her so much, then she will do the opposite and respond with vulgarity in your eyes.
In short, your Shangguan Aoxue always likes to come and make her Zhang Ling feel uncomfortable, so she won't let you have an easy time.
