As soon as Shen Ning returned to Guqi, she noticed a refined and elegant man seated in her office. Li Secretary had already prepared tea for him.
“Mr. Jing, you… you came by today,” Shen Ning began hesitantly, offering a faint smile.
Jing Chenxi, with his charming and observant eyes, replied, “Ning Ning, 1 had some business nearby and thought I’d drop by to see you.”
“Oh, thank you,” Shen Ning responded.
She took a seat across from him, resting her hands on her knees.
Jing Chenxi gazed at her with shining eyes.
She felt somewhat uneasy, avoiding his gaze.
“Ning Ning, is the company facing any difficulties?” Jing Chenxi asked, suddenly concerned and considerate.
Shen Ning was taken aback, shaking her head. “It’s manageable.”
“Ning Ning, 1 hope you can consider me a friend. If there’s anything bothering you, as long as I can help, I’ll do my best,” Jing Chenxi spoke after a brief silence.
Behind Guqi was the capital of Li Zhenting, and now that Shen Ning had taken back all the shares, considering Li Zhenting’s current attitude towards her, he might not be willing to continue investing. Jing Chenxi was well aware of this.
“Okay, I will,” Shen Ning replied. She was still hesitant to seek his assistance regarding the company’s finances. She had a plan in mind; if she couldn’t raise the necessary funds, she was prepared to mortgage part of the company for some cash flow. As soon as the perfume hit the market, the capital would quickly return.
She didn’t want to owe anyone any favors, including Li Zhenting.
That day, when Li Zhenting demanded three billion from her as compensation, she had understood that, as a woman, she had to be independent and self-reliant, not dependent on any man!
In the afternoon, Li Zhenting returned home early.
Upon entering the living room, he saw Ding Ding sitting on a small stool in the lounge, an easel set up in front of him, and a paintbrush in hand.
“Ding Ding, how about I find a family psychologist for you?” He crouched down next to him and asked.
Ding Ding’s eyes lit up. This morning, Mommy had mentioned getting him a family psychologist, so she must be coming to be with him.
“Okay,” Ding Ding replied, a rare smile lighting up his face as he turned to him, revealing a row of small, pearly white teeth.
Ding Ding seldom smiled, but when he did, his bright, sparkling eyes shone like celestial bodies, his little face warm and incredibly adorable.
Li Zhenting’s heart warmed in response.
While finding a family therapist for Ding Ding had been his idea, he still wanted to know his son’s opinion. After all, only when his son accepted it would it be easier to achieve the desired results.
“So, what kind of therapist would you like? A male or a female? Young or older?” Li Zhenting asked, smiling as he probed.
Ding Ding didn’t hesitate. He answered naturally, “1 want a female therapist, someone pretty and gentle.”
Li Zhenting chuckled at his response, as it aligned perfectly with his own thoughts.
It seemed that the girl named Loli was definitely to his son’s liking.
Li Zhenting took out his phone and placed a photo of Loli in front of Ding Ding, asking affectionately, “Son, how about her? She seems to fit your requirements perfectly.”
He thought his son would happily nod and say yes.
However, he didn’t expect Ding Ding’s immediate reaction upon seeing Loli’s photo. He shook his head vigorously, almost like a drumbeat. “No, I don’t want her.”
Li Zhenting’s smile froze on his face. He had chosen her specifically for Ding Ding, and it had taken him at least an hour of his precious time.
“Why not? She seems to match your requirements,” he asked, perplexed.
“No, I don’t want her. She’s not gentle,” Ding Ding replied emotionlessly.
“Then, what kind of gentleness do you want?” Li Zhenting’s head started to ache.
“Like this,” Ding Ding suddenly pointed to the painting on his easel.
Li Zhenting raised his gaze and finally noticed that Ding Ding had already painted a woman on his easel.
As he examined it closely, his face darkened instantly.
The woman on the easel unmistakably resembled Shen Ning!
