Li Zhenting stormed off with a grim expression.

“Zhenting, if you don’t get Shen Ning here tomorrow, then I’ll personally invite her. At that time, you must not object,” Li Wanqing said from behind.

Li Zhenting walked faster with his head down.

The night was shrouded in a mystical veil, and the earth was cloaked in a mysterious darkness.

In Gu Qi’s office, Shen Ning was still hard at work. She had just come out of the laboratory, and production for the new variety was set to begin tomorrow. But the expenses…

She furrowed her brows, feeling a slight headache coming on.

Earlier in the afternoon, she had discussed and calculated with the financial manager, Wan Zhengping. No matter how they meticulously calculated and tried to save costs, they still needed at least twenty-five million in funding.

For her, this was a substantial sum of money.

When she proposed to mortgage the company, Wan Zhengping shook his head repeatedly.

A company with losses on its books couldn’t be mortgaged. Even if it were, it wouldn’t fetch much money and wouldn’t be of much help.

In the end, he suggested an alternative: financing – borrowing money from a bank or institution.

In reality, it was just an idea without much promise.

However, no matter what, Wan Zhengping was willing to give it a try. After all, Shen Ning’s perfumes had a market, and profits were visible. Besides, in the past, Gu Qi had no negative credit history.

Shen Ning rubbed her temples, picked up a glass of water, and took a sip. Suddenly, she heard footsteps in the corridor.

She initially thought it might be Secretary Li Mengqing, and didn’t pay much attention.

But a little later, the footsteps grew louder, heading straight for her office.

She furrowed her brows and looked up, startled.

At her office door stood a tall man, his imposing figure like a mountain, and his sharp, ominous gaze fixed on her.

“Mr. Li… Why are you here?” Shen Ning thought she might be hallucinating from overwork, rubbing her eyes. But when she looked again, there was no mistake—it was still Li Zhenting, the devil himself.

She stood up.

Li Zhenting paused and walked toward her, his tone icy. “Shen Ning, you’ve won.”

Shen Ning was bewildered. “Won what?”

“What do you think?” Li Zhenting sneered.

Shen Ning’s gaze turned cold.

This man had appeared in front of her in the dead of night, and judging by his demeanor, it couldn’t be for anything good. Moreover, she had known him for so long, and he had never brought good news before!

Right now, she looked at him coldly and said, “Li Zhenting, if you have something to say, say it quickly. If you have nothing important, please leave immediately. 1 don’t welcome you here.”

If she had been cautious and polite before, it was because Gu Qi had still needed his help. But now, she had no connection with him, and she didn’t want to play nice in front of him anymore. She preferred to be straightforward and express herself clearly.

Li Zhenting’s face darkened. “You’re quite rude.”

This woman was becoming increasingly audacious in front of him. Not only did she not show him any respect, but her attitude was also far from friendly. Well, it didn’t matter. After all, he had come to ask her to take care of his son.

He took a deep breath, suppressing his anger. “Well, you… you like my son, right? You want to be his therapist. 1 approve of it now.”

Shen Ning was taken aback, finally understanding his purpose in coming here. She couldn’t help but chuckle.

He really had come to ask her!

But even though he had come to request her assistance, his tone made it sound as if she had nothing better to do all day than to wait for him to come begging her to take care of his son. This man was truly self-assured, inherently domineering.

She raised her proud head slightly and mockingly said, “Mr. Li, what’s your ‘approval’ supposed to mean? Right now, you’re the one asking me to take care of your son. It depends on my mood whether I’m willing to do it or not..”
