"Han Qing Qing, we are going to need a new financial manager."

"Okay sir, I will prepare a sack letter and start the job advertisement."

"There would be no need for the job advertisement and all that, I already found the perfect candidate fit for that position."

"What?" Han Qing Qing blinked several times as she looked at Ye Cheng with disbelieving eyes.

"If I recall correctly, I didn't stutter."

"Yes sir, but it is... "

"Are you questioning my decision?" Ye Cheng asked her while raised brows.

"No sir, it is just... " Han Qing Qing let out a soft sigh as she proceeded to take a spoonful of food into her mouth as she swallowed her meal, she swallowed the next words that she was thinking of.

'This is so unlike you, boss to act so unprofessional and cut corners.' Han Qing Qing said to herself.

"Anyways I would send you the details for you to process later. For now, lay low as nothing happened."

"Yes, sir."

Even though he knew Han Qing Qing would be careful, he still warned her to be more cautious.

He already had his plans and he was going to make sure that all those who wanted him down to pay.

"By the way," Ye Cheng started to say but paused and he picked up his cutleries, ready to dig into his meal. "Why did you save my contact with that name?"

"Well, like I said before, true caller brought out her name when you called with it so I had to save your name with the owner's name."

"Sorry, the question I meant to ask was, the business idea strategy and all you told Hao Huizhong," Ye Cheng quickly corrected himself.

"It was a business deal I worked on some time ago. Nothing much." Han Qing Qing shrugged her shoulders at him and went back to enjoy her meal.

"Okay. No worries then. Happy you managed it. Now eat up before the food gets cold."

~Li Group Company~

Back at Like Xiu's father's company, she got herself overly prepared for the meeting. Her face shone with brilliance, intelligence and sexiness as she stared at her reflection in the mirror.

It was the perfect dress up she wanted and needed.

She needed to show their soon to be business partner that the Li family got all it takes to handle the business.

Knock! Knock!

A knock came on the door of her office, bringing Li Xiu out from her mild trance.

"Yes, come in," she replied with a calm and sharp tone.

The door knob turned and a figure walked inside.

"Ma, it is time. Mr. Kanga is here." Hao Zhi Ruo informed her.

"Very well, thanks. I would be there in a minute."

"Okay."

As soon as Hao Zhi Ruo took her leave, Li Xiu got up and took all the necessary files she needed then walked out of her office in a catwalk.

"Ma'am," Hao Zhi Ruo stretched forth her hands to receive the files and laptop from her boss before steeping to the side to clear her path for her.

Li Xiu handed everything to her and proceeded in the direction of the meeting room.

By the time they arrived at the meeting room, Li Xiu met Mr. Kanga seated opposite if her chair with his hand underneath his chin as he seemed to be staring blankly ahead in a thoughtful manner.

"Good morning, sir. Welcome to Li Group," Li Xiu announced immediately she took the first step into the room then walked up front to where he was.

Hearing her sweet melodious voice, Mr. Kanga stood up from his seat and carefully took in the appearance of the lady in front of him.

"The beautifully endowed Li Xiu of the Li Group, good morning. It is as true as they say, your brilliance radiates even the darkest of nights and your beauty transcends that of the heavens. It is a pleasure to officially meet you."

At his praises, Li Xiu began to blush more and accepted his extended hand for a shake.

The look in Mr. Kanga's eyes showed that of desire as his lustful eyes raked over her body from head to toe.

Unfortunately for him, Li Xiu never failed to notice all of his stares and lustful gaze.

To her, it was a good thing it was working. She had planned on winning him with her body just in case the slides didn't work and right now she could see how prepared he was to check out their marketing proposal.

"Thank you, Mr. Kanga. If I do say so myself, you look good too."

The man Mr. Kanga was a tall, handsome, well built and good looking rich man. He was known for his intelligence and keen eyes when looking for a business partner.

Right now, although he had not seen what she had to project, but the way and manner in which she carried herself made him not have second thoughts about this meeting.

True, Li Xiu was beautiful just like Li Jing, although the latter was more beautiful and intelligent.

Due to the fact that she always took the fame for all of Li Jing's work, she was perceived by everyone as the brain of the Li family and she knew quite well how to carry herself in such a manner.

Even being a cheater requires smartness and intelligence, all of which she possessed.

"Please, have your seat."

Li Xiu gestured for him to have his seat and went ahead to do same.

"Thank you very much for coming here, Mr. Kanga. Now, time for the meeting to commence."

"I am eager to hear all of your brilliant business ideas."

"I would try not to disappoint," Li Xiu flashed him a bright shy smile, portraying her innocent side and proceeded to start.

Apologies, please bear with this author. I live you guys. Special thanks to Guccicat and all those who voted and gifted.
