CHAPTER 110

"I would like to do business with you, Li Jing and if you cannot work for me, at the very least partner with me."

Mr Knag was determined to do business with her. He knew in the future she would be a big lady and he wanted to grow with her. He could see all the many possibilities and potential she had.

"I cannot be your partner, sir. The best I can do is work with you under Dream Star Corporation. You can speak to Ye Cheng about it and see if he is up for it. You do not have to worry though, I would speak to him on your behalf. I am sure he would be happy to do business with you."

"Ah! If that is so, then okay."

"I am glad you agree with me."

"Yes, but one more thing, please I would love for you to pitch your slide for the marketing deal for Li Group."

"But sir, I am no longer working there."

"I know. I meant for you to present it for this deal. I know once Ye Cheng sees it, he would in no doubt approve of it. In fact, your position doesn't do you good. Your skills and potential should not be limited in the financial department. You can do so much more."

"Thank you sir, but I believe, Ye Cheng has his reasons."

"Tsk, lucky young man. Okay, what say you, can we meet over lunch to discuss on the slides. There are some things I would love for you to see if you can add."

"But we haven't even spoken to Ye Cheng yet," Li Jing tied to disagree. She could see the man's persistence and determination in wanting to work with her but she did not want it looking somehow, that was why she wanted him to go through Ye Cheng first.

"I would, in fact, I just left a message for my assistant to liaise with his and get an appointment fixed to see him.

"Okay," Li Jing said, drawing the last syllable a bit. "That was fast."

"I know. I am sorry I may come off as pushy but I lost the opportunity once, I do not hope to lose it a second time. You ate going to be great, Li Jing and I want to contribute to that success."

"What can I say, I am truly honoured. Okay, lunch it is. I would fix my schedule."

"Great then. I would text you the location."

"What time?"

"Umm, make it 2 pm."

"Deal. Thanks for calling."

"My pleasure."

Beep!!

'Oh boy! Perhaps I need this to get my head over what happened today. This is for the best, Li Jing. I hope he is okay though."

~YE CHENG'S OFFICE~

After some smooching session with his lost but found girlfriend, Ye Cheng went back to his seat behind the table to check on his new email.

Honestly, he would have easily ignored the email but then he was looking for an excuse to get away from Bai Qing Mei as she was, according to Han Qing Qing, too clingy.

Since she arrived, he could not count just how many times they had kissed already.

Before, he kissed her so passionately so as to clear all doubts and jealousy from her mind about him loving Li Jing nit that that was what he felt at that moment since he was still processing her being here in his mind but he just had to kiss her.

And Bai Qing Mei being who she was, just did not let it end there and kept on kissing him.

As soon as he opened his email, he saw that the mail was from Han Qing Qing. He also knew she was trying her best to disturb whatever was happening between him and his girlfriend, knowing full well how she disliked the latter.

At this point, all he could feel was gratitude towards her for distracting him. He had to lie that it was a very important work that he had been expecting before Bai Qing Mei let him go and stood up from his laps.

Immediately he opened the mail, he was greeted with a schedule and narrowed his eyes at his laptop screen.

"Hmm…"

It was his schedule for the week with all his appointments and meetings inclusive. In everything, there was one that stood out most.

Perhaps it was because Han Qing Qing had personally bolded that particular column for him to see. It was the appointment with Mr Kang.

'Kang, Kang?' Ye Cheng was trying to place where he knew that name from, but when he looked closely at the laptop screen, he saw Mr Kang's full name and his eyes widened.

'He wants to do business with me?' Ye Cheng asked himself. 'Okay then, I look forward to what the brainy genius has for me.'

After checking out some things and rejecting some appointments, he sent the mail back to Han Qing Qing to cancel the appointments that needed to go. One of such appointment was from the Duan company.

He could not blame Han Qing Qing about not knowing that Dream Star Corporation would not do business with the Duan Group after what their heir did on Friday.

'They still have the nerve to want to show their face to me. Tsk, perhaps Yu Xiaowen's warning wasn't clear enough and I need to warn them myself.'

By the time he was done sorting things out, Bai Qing Mei was still watching him with so much glee in her face and eyes.

He closed his laptop, so he could give her his undivided attention. "Yes, Hao Huizhong is around. Let me inform him of your arrival. He too was not happy when I told him what had happened. I am sure he would be glad to see you."

"Ah, yes. I almost forgot about him because I was with you. I bet he would be mad and shocked." Bai Qing Mei said, feigning being happy.

She just did not want anyone to ruin her time with Ye Cheng and that included Hao Huizhong. But knowing her boyfriend, he was as stubborn as a mule.

And if she refused, it would seem suspicious since the three of them were bests of friends.
