Chapter 523
Li Hongtu was a man in his forties. He had thick eyebrows, but he had a gentlemanly demeanor.
Even though he was not very tall or well-built, he had an air of authority around him after helming the company for many years.
"Good afternoon, Mr. Li!" The employees bowed and greeted him.
Liu Xuan grinned brilliantly and skipped up to Li Hongtu's side. "You're finally back, Mr. Li. I miss you so much," she said coquettishly.
At the same time, she discreetly squeezed Li Hongtu's arm between her twin peaks. That was the president's favorite position. If he wagged his fingers, he could do whatever he wanted with Liu Xuan's chest.
That was why Liu Xuan wore clothes with a low neckline. It was convenient for both her boss and herself.
The managers around them said nothing, though the envy on their faces was palpable.
It was an open secret that Liu Xuan was the president's illicit lover. Of course, it was normal for a multibillionaire like Li Hongtu to have several "close friends."
Even the managers had several minor celebrities as illicit lovers.
"I negotiated a few more major contracts this trip. That's why I was delayed," Li Hongtu said with a
smile while taking Liu Xuan's hand. He looked like he was in a good mood. "Did anyone bully you while I was away?"
"Of course not! You're the big boss of this company. No one would dare to bully me!" Liu Xuan said. Li Hongtu laughed heartily, which prompted Liu Xuan to complain, "Just now, there was a poor loser who said he's your acquaintance. I was fixing my nails, and he wasted so much of my time!"
"It's not surprising to have random nobodies coming here saying they're Mr. Li's friend," the vice president added. "They're only looking to brown-nose him."
Li Hongtu laughed again. He asked, "What's that guy's name?"
"His name is Chu… Feng, I think? He said he was from Jiangling. Well, why would it matter?" Liu Xuan waved her hand impatiently and hugged Li Hongtu's arm.
Suddenly, Li Hongtu seemed shocked. He grabbed Liu Xuan's arm and asked seriously, "What did you say his name was? Did he bring anything unusual?"
"Y… Y… Yes, he brought along a filthy jacket with him. I threw it away because I thought it was trash…" Liu Xuan stammered. It was the first time she saw Li Hongtu so serious with her. "My arm hurts, Mr. Li."
Li Hongtu shoved Liu Xuan away without saying another word. He rushed to the trash can and emptied it.
The managers were shocked by what they saw.
Soon, Li Hongtu managed to find the bullet-riddled and blood-stained half-jacket. He carefully spread it out on the table as though it was a map that led to a priceless treasure, and he even tried to clean it by rubbing it with his bespoke suit.
Tears streaked down his face, and his hands were trembling.
"It's really you, my savior! I've been looking for you for ten years!"
Ten years ago, his life was at risk when his ship was hijacked by pirates. At the edge of despair, a young man came to his aid and wiped out the entire pirate ship!
That was the jacket the young man wore that day!
Li Hongtu was laughing and crying at the same time. His employees were dumbfounded to see their president act that way.
"Where is he? Where's that young man?" Li Hongtu roared like a wild beast after wiping the tears from his face. He looked like he was going to devour someone.
"He… He left the building and headed south-east…" the receptionist said fearfully.
Liu Xuan frowned and snorted disdainfully. "Why are you so agitated over some random poor loser? I think you should…"
Slap!
Li Hongtu abruptly raised his hand and slapped Liu Xuan's face. Five red marks instantly appeared on her cheek.
