CHAPTER 87

Before he could proceed, Li Jing interrupted him. "I am sorry sir. Everything about the marketing slides was my ideas, projected alone. I would not be giving it to Li Group. If you want to do business with them based on it, I am afraid to say, sir, you would do so without my slides."

Mr Kang smiled to himself. Just based on his first conversation with her, he already loved her personality and outspokenness.

"Calm down Miss Li. I am not calling to ask about the slides or arguing about it either."

"Oh, sorry. Then why did you call?" Li Jing inquired.

"I want you to work for my company. I see you are an intelligent lady and I would be honoured to work with someone like you."

Li Jing became silent instantly.

She was not expecting he would call her based on that. He was a well-known businessman and had a double PhD in finance and business administration.

He was someone a lot of people would love to do business with. She still did not know why he wanted to do business with her father’s company but she heard a rumour that he went about doing business with small businesses to help them grow and have standing.

Maybe that was why he decided to do business with them and now, he wanted her to work for him.

This was a lifetime opportunity as she knew she would learn so much from him but then again, she was with Dream Star Corporation now and a part of it.

"Miss Li, are you there?" Mr Kang’s voice broke her out of her reverie.

"Oh, yes. My apologies about that."

"What is your answer to my earlier statement?"

"I am really grateful sir, but I am afraid I would have to reject your offer."

Gbagang!!

It felt like a glass had shattered in Mr Kang’s face. He was still stupefied about her rejection that he did not hear the next words Li Jing said.

"Mr Kang. Mr Kang Xing? Mr Kang!"

It was not until Li Jing increased her tone that Mr Kang finally left the mini trance he ventured into in his thoughts.

"Yes?"

"I could not hear you speaking anymore, Mr Kang. Is everything okay?" Mr Kang could detect the genuine concern in her voice.

Right there and then, he decided he must work with her, one way r the other.

’This lady is special. If only she knew it, then she would have gone places.’ Mr Kang thought to himself.

"Yes, everything is fine. I was just thinking about something, my apologies. Back to what we were discussing. Won’t you reconsider my offer, Miss Li?"

~LI GROUP~

Li Xiu was still in her office reading the slides over and over again when a knock came on her door. She lifted her head from what she was doing and her already creased brows, deepened further into a frown.

"Come in."

The door opened and Hao Zhi Ruo stepped into her office.

"Ma, a call just came through from Mr Kang’s secretary."

At the mention of Mr Kang, Li Xiu jolted up from her seat and looked at Hao Zhi Ruo with a face full of expectations.

"Yes, yes, tell me, what did he say?"

With the way Li Xiu stood up, Hao Zhi Ruo was a little bit taken aback by her unfathomed reaction and hesitated in telling the news.

"What are you just standing there looking at? Quickly tell me what he said, let me know what I am doing here," Li Xiu yelled at her assistant.

"I am sorry, ma." Hao Zhi Ruo quickly apologized and fixed herself up. "His secretary said that Mr Kang would have a meeting with you tomorrow so you can peach your presentation. He expects something improved or you can kiss the contract out the door."

’This man! Just because he is in a position to help someone, should that mean he should speak that way? If not that this contract is needed and I also need it to prove to father when he returns that I can handle the company and get us, good clients, then I wouldn’t be bothering doing this and letting someone control me.���

"That was his message ma. I would set everything ready before tomorrow. Do you need me to send the slides to you now?"

"And what is the meaning of that?"

Although Hao Zhi Ruo had not meant that as an offence and only wanted to remind her so that a failure like last time would not repeat itself and Li Xiu wouldn’t end up embarrassing herself, the company and she as her assistant, Li Xiu took it a different way.

’Who does this rat thinks she is to tell me that? Do I look so unserious to her? It is not your fault. If not that, that whore of a sister of mine did not send me a rubbish file, then I would not have been embarrassed all this time.’

Li Xiu cleared her throat as she stared her assistant down, making the girl fidget where she stood.

’Li Jing is a virus. Ever since that day, I have been met with several kinds of embarrassment and this rat thinks she can talk me down, I would let her know who is boss.’

"I did not mean anything by that. I just want to make sure that the marketing team has sent the file to you." Hao Zhi Ruo quickly corrected Li Xiu’s line of thought.

The last thing she wanted was more work as a punishment from Li Xiu.

"Whatever. I already have what I need. You do your quota and stick your nose into your pants. Top butting in without being told."

"Yes, ma. If that is all," Hao Zhi Rui started to say but stop midway in her speech when she noticed Li Xiu glaring at her.

"And what else would I be needing you for?"

"Sorry, ma. I would take my leave, then."

Not looking for more trouble, Hao Zhi Rui hurriedly left her office, leaving her boss to her mood swing.
