Chapter 99: Is She Crazy?
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Li Zhenting’s eyes remained glued to the computer screen, his expression intensely focused.
“Mr. Li,” Shen Ning gently uttered as she stood by his desk.
Li Zhenting was in the midst of reviewing a resume. It belonged to a twenty-two-year-old girl named Luo Lili, a graduate of the esteemed American institution, Texas Great University, renowned for psychology. Her work history also included a stint at one of the United States’ most prestigious psychological organizations. Judging from the resume alone, she appeared to be a highly suitable candidate for Ding Ding.
So deeply engrossed in his reading, he hadn’t responded even after Shen Ning had called out twice.
“Mr. Li,” Shen Ning had to raise her voice slightly.
This time, Li Zhenting finally looked up, his gaze shifting from the screen.
In a heartbeat, he straightened up, his face turning a shade akin to encountering a ghost. After a moment of shock, he lashed out angrily, “Why are you here again?”
He followed with a sneer, “Are you here to repay the money?”
“No,” Shen Ning replied, her brows furrowing slightly as she shook her head. “Even if you trampled on me and drained every drop of my blood, I still couldn’t repay that much money.”
“Then what brings you here?” Li Zhenting questioned, his brows furrowing, and a trace of disdain flashing in his eyes.
“Mr. Li, 1 heard that you are recruiting a psychological expert, and I’d like to give it a try,” Shen Ning said earnestly, her lips pressed together.
Li Zhenting was momentarily stunned before bursting into laughter, as though he had heard the most incredulous international joke. He regarded Shen Ning with an incredulous look, “Shen Ning, are you so bored with life that you’ve come to try out for the position of a psychologist for my son? Do you truly believe you have that kind of standing?”
This woman had caused him trouble, and now she wanted to involve his son. Was she out of her mind?
What made her think he would even consider her?
It was preposterous!
However, Shen Ning remained composed. She raised her head and spoke calmly, “Mr. Li, 1 understand that 1 may not hold much significance in your eyes. But I do possess certain strengths. While I may not be the best, 1 believe 1 am the most suitable for your son. Please trust me.”
After Li Zhenting regained his composure, he sneered, “Shen Ning, do you have nothing better to do? Leave immediately. If you persist in disrupting my work, I’ll blacklist you, and you’ll never set foot in Li Corporation again.”
His handsome face exuded arrogance.
It appeared that the front desk receptionist had grown lax, allowing a woman to easily enter his CEO office. Unacceptable!
As he was about to pick up the internal phone to voice his complaint, Shen Ning, still composed, remarked, “Mr. Li, it doesn’t matter if you look down on me. However, 1 must remind you that since you posted the job opening, 1 have the right to interview for the position. You cannot obstruct or insult me. Furthermore, 1 want to reiterate that should 1 become your son’s family teacher, my services will come at a cost, and that cost won’t be insignificant. That’s all 1 have to say. The resume is right here; you can examine it at your leisure. 1’11 take my leave now.”
She placed the resume on Li Zhenting’s desk, offered him a flirtatious smile, and confidently exited the room.
Li Zhenting burst into laughter again, though this time, it was laughter borne of irritation.
Regret, high fees… these words struck him as utterly amusing. Could this woman truly be serious?
Had she eaten something peculiar last night to display such audacious confidence before him?
On what basis did she assume he would select her as his son’s family teacher? Just because of her minor cleverness?
Today, he had truly broadened his horizons. It was hard to believe there were such brazen women in the world.
However, he understood.
Women who consistently feigned indifference in his presence, as though they cared not for fame or fortune, were deliberately vying for his attention, all with the aim of getting close to him!
He knew these superficial women all too well!
The more they acted in this manner, the more repulsed he felt, and the less inclined he was to entertain them!
Without even glancing at Shen Ning’s resume, he tore it in half, released a derisive laugh, and discarded it into the trash can..
