Madam Has An Amazing Life After Her Divorce

Chapter 136 - Scheming

Chapter 136: Scheming

Loco said stiffly, “Li Zecheng, Qiao An refuses to chat with you in private. She asked me to pass this message to you: She once gave you a chance. Unfortunately, you were too scheming and ended up in this state. You brought it on yourselves. Leave what you want to say in court.”

With that, Loco hung up angrily.

Li Zecheng was furious.

Third Madam was even more embarrassed.

She was once a daughter-in-law who could be summoned and waved away at any time. Now, even if she begged her, she ignored her. She could not adjust to the change in treatment.

Qiao An’s uncooperative attitude prevented the Li family from revoking the trending topic at the lowest cost.

In the end, the old man could only go all out. He instructed Li Zecheng, “Zecheng, accompany me to the Haiyue Corporation. I’ll embarrass myself for you. Please ask the chairman of the Haiyue Corporation to help you revoke this interview.”

Li Zecheng replied dejectedly, “Thank you, Grandpa.”

Not long after, Old Master and Li Zecheng appeared at Hai Yue Corporation.

After telling the staff at the service counter the purpose of his visit, the staff immediately called the chairman. “Chairman, Li Kang Group’s Chairman Li and the young president want to see you.”

It was unknown what the other party said, but the staff hung up and asked them to wait in the waiting room.

Old Master Li and Li Zecheng waited for about forty minutes. Li Zecheng’s expression was very ugly. The chairman of the Haiyue Corporation had neglected them, making him extremely angry.

He almost exploded several times. In the end, Master Li stopped him with a stern look.

......

Old Master Li said, “Be humble when asking for help.”

An hour later, the secretary of the chairman of Hai Yue personally came to invite them and apologized. “I’m sorry, Old Mr. Li. My chairman is meeting an important guest today, so he was delayed. Please forgive me.”

Li Zecheng said sourly, “What kind of esteemed guest is so impressive?” In his opinion, there were only a handful of people in the capital who were more impressive than his grandfather.

The secretary smiled gently.

Her smile was mysterious and knowing at the same time.

At this moment, they unknowingly arrived at the door of the chairman’s office. The secretary did not answer their questions and only bent down to invite them in.

“Yo, what brings you here? What a rare guest.” When Chairman Bei saw Old Master Li, he immediately greeted him warmly.

Old Master Li smiled and said, “I’m ashamed to say this. Brother Bei, I’m here to beg you today.”

“What are you talking about, Old Master Li? If you need my help, just tell me.”

“Then I won’t hide it. Brother Bei’s Hai Yue Group has a male magazine agency that sells physical books offline and e-books online.”

At the mention of the men’s magazine, Director Bei couldn’t hide his joy. “That’s right. That man’s magazine wasn’t doing well at first, but ever since Qiao An joined, it has already won the new media title four consecutive times. We are really blessed to have Qiao An.”

Old Master Li was aware of Qiao An’s strengthes. Now that Qiao An had brought Hai Yue a huge fortune, Old Master Li felt suffocated. He glanced at Li Zecheng accusingly.

Li Zecheng felt terrible.

He didn’t believe in these feudal superstitions at first, but when he thought about it, it was true. In the first year of his marriage with Qiao An, his fortune rose. It was only when Qiao An jumped down from the ruins that their relationship cracked and everything went wrong.

Now that Qiao An had let Hai Yue expand its territory in the new media market, Li Zecheng suddenly felt that a large part of his heart was missing.

Old Master Li begged Chairman Bei humbly, “Brother Bei, I came today to beg you to replace Qiao An’s new interview draft.”

Hai Yue’s magazine was in the limelight, and Old Master Li’s request seemed unreasonable. CEO Bei frowned unhappily.

Old Master Li hurriedly said, “Don’t worry, our Li family will compensate you for your losses.”

Chairman Bei said awkwardly, “Old Master Li, you’ve misunderstood. Actually—you’re a step too late. Just now, someone came over to buy Hai Yue Corporation. We’ve already signed the contract.”

Old Master Li and Li Zecheng asked curiously at the same time, “Who?”

Director Bei looked at the grandfather and grandson suspiciously. “You really don’t know?”

Old Master Li and Li Zecheng shook their heads.

“This person is very close to you. Are you very familiar with him?”

Li Zecheng and Old Master Li were even more surprised.

“Aiya, Brother Bei, stop beating around the bush. Tell me, who is he?”

“It’s your son, Li Xiaoran.”

Old Master Li was dumbfounded.

Li Zecheng was also dumbfounded.

After a long time, the two of them seemed to have thought of the same thing and smiled comfortably. Old Master Li said comfortably, “Xiaoran is so thoughtful.”

He was thinking that since Hai Yue was in the hands of his son, Li Xiaoran, Qiao An could not cause further trouble.

Li Zecheng’s jealousy began to stir. “But Grandpa, how can Uncle have so much money to buy over the Hai Yue Corporation?”

Old Master Li’s expression darkened.

His son seemed to have many secrets that he didn’t know. It seemed that he didn’t take him seriously at all.

Old Master Li was a little upset. “Ze Cheng, tell your uncle to delete Qiao An’s report.”

Li Zecheng said, “Okay.”

At this moment, he even hoped that Li Xiaoran would fire Qiao An. He couldn’t wait to see Qiao An’s dejected expression.

However, things did not happen according to their expectations.

An hour after Li Xiaoran bought over the Haiyue Corporation, Qiao An’s article was strongly injected with promotional funds and recommended everywhere.

Li Zecheng hurriedly called Li Xiaoran, hoping that Li Xiaoran would stop this crazy situation.

Damn it, Li Xiaoran’s phone was busy.

Li Zecheng was helpless. In the end, he drove the old man to Li Xiaoran’s rented apartment.

However, the door was locked. All signs indicated that Li Xiaoran had not returned to the rented house for a long time.

Li Zecheng could only leave resentfully.

Seeing his dejected look, Old Master Li comforted him. “Don’t be anxious. Now that the Haiyue Corporation is in your uncle’s hands, this report will be unpublished sooner or later. Your uncle is not Qiao An. He has a soft personality and is easy to talk to. Beg him more and he will help you.”

Li Zecheng did not doubt that Li Xiaoran would help him. In his opinion, Li Xiaoran was a member of the Li family. Even if he might like Qiao An a little, he would not ruin the Li family’s interests for a woman.

However, he had forgotten that Li Xiaoran had been different from them since they were young.

A day later, the news became more and more popular, but Li Zecheng and the others still could not contact Li Xiaoran. At this moment, Li Zecheng came back to his senses.

“Uncle, are you deliberately avoiding us?” Li Zecheng asked in panic.
