Chapter 832: Chapter 832: No issue with the contract, but he won’t sign
Li Shengxiao threw the contract back onto the coffee table, his expression indifferent between his brows, “The contract is fine.”
Chu Xi smiled slightly, just about to speak.
The next second, a basin of cold water was poured over her head from above, “But DW no longer intends to cooperate with IF.”
— But DW no longer intends to cooperate with IF.
He spoke as casually as if he were saying he wasn’t having steak today.
Chu Xi clenched her hand, looking at him, “If it’s convenient, may I ask why? I believe this contract has no issues, and it hasn’t reached the point where the Li Group should give up cooperating with IF.”
Li Shengxiao, “I said the contract is fine.”
Chu Xi focused on the key point, “The contract is fine, so does Mr. Li mean there is a problem with the person? Mr. Li doesn’t want to cooperate with me?”
Li Shengxiao remained silent, but his noble face conveyed the meaning she understood.
After figuring out his thoughts, Chu Xi gradually relaxed and curved her lips, “Let me think about why Mr. Li is refusing to cooperate with me, even treating me as a severe threat, to the extent he didn’t even come to pick me up last night…”
Li Shengxiao, displeased with her rambling, interrupted her, “I was busy last night, Fu Yi should have told you.”
Chu Xi was seldom treated so coldly by the opposite sex, she adjusted her mindset, sat upright, and spoke seriously, “IF is a brand I invested in myself six years ago. I have put a lot of effort into IF, and I don’t want Mr. Li’s judgment of this brand to be affected because of me personally.”
She paused, a smile appearing on her lips again as if sincerely, “Also, there was no malice in what I said earlier. I’m used to being abroad, and I was just joking around with Mr. Li, not realizing it led to a misunderstanding, for which I am very sorry. Since I am here, I will be straightforward with Mr. Li.”
“I have a boyfriend now, and he’s my manager. We’ve been together for three years, during which he has supported me in the entertainment industry, and we’ve experienced a lot together. I don’t want to switch partners midway through.”
Her eyes twinkled as if filled with stars, “Moreover, I’ve heard that Mr. Li also has someone he fancies; from what I gather from my family’s investigation, your character wouldn’t allow that girl to be a mistress. So apart from the cooperation with IF, I’d also like to discuss another cooperation with Mr. Li. I wonder if you’d be interested in collaborating with me as a mutual cover-up before you handle my family situation, helping each other through this period.”
The proposal was undoubtedly tempting.
Tempting like a delicious piece of cake.
Chu Xi accepted his scrutinizing gaze with an open and honest demeanor, continuing under his direct gaze, “Of course, I’m not just helping for nothing. Apart from mutual benefits, Mr. Li, you’re clearly more anxious than I am. After you’ve handled my family, I plan to be a legitimate ‘victim’, and maybe even have a premarital pregnancy with my boyfriend to smoothly continue our relationship! He has also come to Capital City, if you have time, maybe you’d like to meet Allen, and we could all have dinner together.”
Her frankness was quite blunt, which made Li Shengxiao believe her somewhat.
However, whether to truly believe her, he still planned to observe, “Fine, I’ll keep my noontime free.”
“Alright, then I’ll call Allen, he’s still waiting for my message.” Chu Xi hooked the corner of her mouth, beginning to take out her phone from her bag.
Li Shengxiao picked up the contract he had thrown onto the coffee table a moment before, speaking indifferently, “I’ll leave this contract on the table, and I’ll consider the matter of cooperation a bit more.”
