Chapter 103: Liu Menghan: I Am Better Than Zhang

“President Lu, this is acceptable!” Chen Xiaoyi nodded.

Lu Li nodded back and turned his gaze towards Su Bingqing, “I will have the contract ready by tomorrow. Come over to sign it.” After saying this, he was ready to leave but was stopped by Liu Menghan.

“President Lu, considering this is a significant collaboration, shouldn’t we, as partners, have a meal together, toast to celebrate?” With a smile brimming with warmth, Liu Menghan’s eyes held an unmasked tenderness towards Lu Li.

“Ms. Liu, let me remind you, our interaction is not a collaboration but a full acquisition of Liu Corporation by Lu Corporation,” Lu Li frowned.

Why does this woman seem happy about it? Their interaction wasn’t some business cooperation; it was Liu Corporation being absorbed into Lu Corporation! And it was a forced, low-priced acquisition at that.

“Liu Corporation not going bankrupt like Zhang Corporation is already President Lu showing mercy. Plus, I’ll be under President Lu as an employee from now on, naturally, I should curry favor with my superior,” Liu Menghan said, her smile unchanged, seemingly unbothered by the acquisition.

Perhaps this was better for her.

“Then there’s no need for that. Just focus on doing good work.”

With a major deal concluded, Lu Li’s face relaxed a bit, no longer as stern as before. After all, Liu Menghan would be his employee in the future. Aside from everything else, if used well, this woman could be very capable.

Taking Chen Xiaoyi with him, Lu Li left, wanting to continue what had been interrupted earlier.

A momentary loss flickered through Liu Menghan’s eyes, sighing somewhat resignedly once Lu Li and Chen Xiaoyi had left the meeting room.

She hadn’t managed to score an invitation!

“Never mind, at least I am better than that disgusting woman, Zhang Ziqin. There will be plenty of opportunities to meet in the future. I’m not worried about not being able to fit in. Zhang Ziqin has been directly abandoned by Lu Li. No matter what she does now, Lu Li won’t spare her another glance. She brought this upon herself!” Liu Menghan thought scornfully to herself, her lips curling into a slight, mocking smile.

Men and women are different. Once a man gives up, he truly gives up. Thinking back on

how Zhang Ziqin used to act, and now her pitiful... still, ridiculous antics, Liu Menghan couldn’t help but laugh.

“Hmm, Ms. Liu seems to have an odd look in her eyes when she looks at you,” Chen Xiaoyi said, lazily snuggling up to Lu Li, her arms wrapped around him lovingly.

“Hmm, I’ve climbed above someone who used to look down on me and would constantly trouble me. Now, I’ll become her boss. Of course, Liu Menghan is anxious, but luckily, she’s smart.”

She didn’t do anything foolish; otherwise, Lu Li would have to deal with her.

Thankfully, the plot from third-rate novels where the protagonist suddenly rises to prominence and those who looked down on him come over to mock him didn’t play out in his life.

In Lu Li’s view, Liu Menghan and Zhang Ziqin were in the same boat, surpassed by someone they once looked down upon. Whether acquired or driven to bankruptcy, even if they were furious inside, they couldn’t show it.

Fantastic!!!

He loved seeing their forced smiles despite their dissatisfaction.

“What, Liu Menghan used to look down on you, Brother Lu?” Chen Xiaoyi’s eyes widened, a hint of displeasure flashing through them.

“Forget it, forget it. There were many who looked down on me in the past. I don’t care anymore. Anyway, Liu Menghan will be under us from now on. She won’t dare to say much, and there’s no need to make our relationship too stiff,” Lu Li said, smiling as he stroked Chen Xiaoyi’s hair.

He could guess the thoughts of this dear girl without even thinking. How wonderful!

He loved his little wife’s protective affection!

“Hmph! Since Brother Lu said so, shall we let her off?” Chen Xiaoyi pouted, a flash of dissatisfaction in her eyes.

Her Brother Lu, with Cao Yingying at home and her continuous efforts, was someone they all wanted to cherish. Although she couldn’t compare to Cao Yingying in terms of ability, she was striving hard. There was also Yu Meng, eyeing a higher position.

How could they allow bad women to look down on him?

“Let’s go! It’s about time we head back. Tomorrow, we’ll teach Su Corporation a lesson. If they back down, print a copy of Liu Menghan’s document for her. If not, let her go bankrupt!”

“Okay!” Chen Xiaoyi nodded firmly.

Today, Su Bingqing bringing that woman, Zhang Ziqin, disgusted Lu Li and also her. Now, Chen Xiaoyi had no good feelings towards Su Bingqing.
