Chapter 197 Still So Tasteless
Chapter 197 Still So Tasteless
"What are you doing?"
Zhao Zheng laughed, "Of course I'm here to pursue women." As he spoke, he walked towards Rong Shu, walked around the desk to stand in front of her, and seeing the woman's wary gaze, he smiled gently, "Don't be nervous. Even if Evelynn did something to hurt me, I don't blame you."
talking.
He placed the roses on the desk, leaned over with one hand on the edge of the desk, and moved closer to Rong Shu.
That aura, ingrained in her very bones, that she loathed and revulsed, washed over her.
A glint of light flashed in the man's eyes, and he said in a low, husky voice, "It's because I like you so much."
next second.
Snapped!
Rong Shu grabbed a book from the table and slapped it hard across the man's face. She stood up abruptly and distanced herself from him, shouting, "Don't come near me!"
Zhao Zheng slowly straightened up, pressed his tongue against his cheek, and reached out to wipe his cheek that had been scratched by the book pages. Looking at the slight bloodstains on his fingertips, he smiled instead of getting angry, his dark eyes flashing with a chilling crimson light.
He suddenly stepped forward.
Rong Shu stepped back.
But it was too late. Her wrist was grabbed by a strong force, and with a yank, Rong Shu leaned into his arms.
"Let me go!"
Zhao Zheng gripped the back of Rong Shu's head with his large hand.
Just as he nodded to make the next move.
There was only a loud thud as the book was closed.
The sound was too clear and audible.
Zhao Zheng paused, looking at Sheng Tingchen who was leaning back on the sofa.
Sheng Tingchen's gaze swept over the woman's panicked and pale face, then looked at Zhao Zheng and said in a detached voice, "You're still as tasteless as ever."
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Rong Shu pushed Zhao Zheng away forcefully and walked quickly out of the office, asking someone to call security.
Zhao Zheng stared at the doorway, then turned around, walked around the desk, sat down in front of Sheng Tingchen, took out a cigarette case from his pocket, took out a cigarette, and handed it to Sheng Tingchen.
Sheng Tingchen said calmly, "I've given it up."
Zhao Zheng paused for a moment, then withdrew his hand and asked with a smile, "Who has the ability to make you quit smoking?"
Sheng Tingchen did not answer.
Zhao Zheng took out a lighter, lit the cigarette, held it between his fingers, took a deep drag, and exhaled a bluish-white smoke. He asked, "What are you doing here today?"
Sheng Tingchen asked, "To talk about work?"
"Work?" Zhao Zheng asked in surprise. "You have business dealings with a company like KU? What kind of business requires you to personally negotiate it?"
Sheng Tingchen did not answer.
Zhao Zheng suddenly chuckled, his tone ambiguous, and said, "Or is work just an excuse?"
Sheng Tingchen smiled faintly, closed the book in his hand and tossed it onto the coffee table. Then he stood up, put one hand in his pocket, and looked down at Zhao Zheng. "Who do you think I am?"
Zhao Zheng reached out and stubbed out his cigarette, then threw it into the trash can. "That's right, Sheng Tingchen, you wouldn't lower yourself for any woman."
Sheng Tingchen turned and walked away.
At this time.
Security personnel entered, saw Sheng Tingchen, and stopped him, saying, "Are you causing trouble here?"
Sheng Tingchen looked at the security personnel, his cold gaze causing them to pause in surprise. He said, "You've got the wrong person. It's that gentleman. You'd better take him to the police station immediately."
Upon hearing Sheng Tingchen's words, Zhao Zheng couldn't help but scoff.
The security personnel looked at Zhao Zheng, who was sitting there.
Sheng Tingchen left the office directly.
At this moment, all the KU employees looked over in confusion.
Sheng Tingchen glanced around but didn't see Rong Shu.
Zhao Zheng also came out, followed by security personnel.
He walked over to Sheng Tingchen and said to him, "I wish you a successful business negotiation."
Zhao Zheng left the company.
Sheng Tingchen watched him leave, his gaze falling on Lina, and asked, "Is the data ready?"
Lina said, "Some of it is ready, Mr. Sheng, please take a look first."
Sheng Tingchen walked towards the reception room. "Bring it here."
"it is good."
Sheng Tingchen sat in a chair, and Lina and the financial director handed him some relevant data.
"Mr. Sheng, please take a look."
Sheng Tingchen glanced at it and asked, "Where's Evelynn?"
Lina replied, "Evelynn just left."
Sheng Tingchen paused in his flipping through the documents, then simply scoffed, "With this kind of work attitude, KU really doesn't need to continue operating."
These words were spoken.
Lina and the CFO were both taken aback.
Lina quickly explained, "There's a reason for this. Evelynn didn't look too well just now, so she might not be able to answer your questions properly, Mr. Sheng. Also, Evelynn hasn't been at the company for a while, so she's not very clear about the company's specific operations. If you have any questions, Mr. Sheng, you can ask us directly. We can answer you more clearly than Evelynn."
After saying that...
Lina looked at Sheng Tingchen with trepidation. Although the man's face showed no emotion from beginning to end, it was this imposing aura that made people even more terrified.
He did not respond to Lina's words.
I skimmed through the contents of the document, reading ten lines at a glance.
Seeing that he didn't reply, Lina felt uncertain.

Xue Mingcheng drove Rong Shu away. Seeing that her pale face hadn't recovered, he asked worriedly, "Miss Rong, are you alright?"
Rong Shu said, "I'm fine, don't worry."
Once we returned to the villa...
Seeing that she had returned so early, Sheng Tingze, who was about to bring her lunch, couldn't help but ask, "Xiao Shu, why are you back so early? Weren't we going to talk about the shares?"
Rong Shu said, "Something came up unexpectedly, so it's postponed to tomorrow."
She had completely calmed down, so Sheng Tingze did not notice Rong Shu's unusual behavior.
"so."
"What else is planned for today?"
Rong Shu said, "Let's work from home for now!"
"Okay, I'll cook lunch for you today. You can try my cooking skills later."
Sheng Tingze hasn't had much to do here lately, so he's been tinkering with cooking.
Rong Shu laughed and said, "Just don't eat me into the hospital."
"You don't trust me at all?"
"Of course I believe you."
"That's more like it."
"..."
The two chatted for a few minutes.
Rong Shu then went upstairs.
Lina then called.
"Evelynn, are you alright?"
Rong Shu said, "I'm fine. I'm sorry, did that President Sheng give you any trouble?"
Lina said, "He didn't make things difficult for us. He only looked at part of the information we gave him and left without saying anything. I wonder what Mr. Sheng was thinking? He seemed quite unhappy about your sudden departure. Evelynn, why don't you contact Mr. Sheng?"
Hearing Lina's worried tone, Rong Shu comforted her, "I know, I will contact him to explain."
I hung up the phone.
Rong Shu put down her phone.
He leaned heavily back on the sofa, showing no intention of calling Sheng Tingchen.
Buzz!
Her phone vibrated.
Rong Shu picked it up and took a look.
