"Be good and go to sleep." The man patted her back patiently, and with the tone he used to coax her to sleep...
She tried hard to open her eyes, but she was really sleepy..
The next day, at Victor Steakhouse Western Restaurant.
Liu Qi had already eaten two servings of pudding at Table G, but Yue still hadn't come.
The appointment was at 9 pm, but it was already 11 pm. She didn't pick up her calls or reply to her messages. Liu Qi felt like she had been stood up.
Just as she was feeling frustrated, a little girl in a lolita dress walked by. She was short and cute. She had her hair in ponytails.
However, this cute little girl sat across from her table with a lollipop in her mouth.
"Little girl, I'm sorry. There's someone here. I'm waiting for my friend," Liu Qi quickly said. It wasn't that she was stingy, but there were still empty tables in the restaurant.
The cute little girl frowned slightly and stared at her in confusion. Finally, she said, "What? You're meeting someone else too?"
Her voice was quite oppressive. Who would have thought that a cute little girl would actually have such a mature voice?
Wait!
This voice!
Why did Liu Qi feel that it was very familiar?
She asked, "You're... Yue?"
"It's me. You seem very surprised to see me." Yue said as she reached out her hand and beckoned for the waiter.
Liu Qi didn't know what to say. She had never expected that this seemingly underage girl was actually a detective?
"Sir, give me and her two servings of Sirloin steak. I want black pepper, fully-cooked. Otherwise, my stomach will hurt."
When she heard Yue's cute and unpretentious loli voice, Liu Qi was stunned. She must be a voice actress!
Then, Yue looked at Liu Qi and asked, "What flavor do you want?"
"Uh... Same as you."
After the waiter left, Liu Qi still picked up her phone and sent a wechat message to Yue. Then, the cute little girl's phone chimed.
Alright, she would accept the truth.
Liu Qi really didn't expect Yue to be a child. Were all children nowadays so amazing?
"Don't look at me with such a strange gaze. I'm 28 years old," said Yue.
"You're so well maintained!" Liu Qi smiled embarrassedly after being seen through.
After eating the steak, Liu Qi paid the bill and followed Yue out of the restaurant.
Yue said, "I have something important to do today. You should go back first."
"What important thing?"
..
-- South City, Roland Agency Ltd.
President's office.
Knock, knock, knock.
"President, Mr. Li is here," the assistant said from outside the door.
"Please come in." Nangong Cheng opened his eyes and waited for him to come in.
The assistant opened the door and respectfully lowered his head to let Li Weiguo in first.
"Mr. Li, please take a seat." Nangong Cheng smiled amiably. He didn't look as gloomy as he did yesterday.
Then, he said, "Xiao Ye, pour tea for Mr. Li."
"Brother Nangong, you're too polite." Li Weiguo sat opposite Nangong Cheng. The two of them acted like good buddies who hadn't seen each other for many years.
Even the way they addressed each other was very friendly.
In fact, the two of them were indeed good bros many years ago. They started their business together and started their company together. However, things had changed at this time. The two of them placed more importance on their personal interests than brotherhood.
"Mr. Li, please have some tea." After receiving Nangong Cheng's signal, the assistant put down the teacup and left the office.
Li Weiguo picked up the teacup and sipped it gently. He couldn't help but sigh. "This is good tea, Brother Nangong. This is Longjing tea, right? It's really light, yet fragrant and refreshing."
"It was bought by my son. Mr. Li, if you like it, you can bring some back. You also watched this child grow up," Nangong Cheng said cheerfully.
"Brother Nangong, I'm afraid you didn't call me here just to drink tea, right?"
Li Weiguo went straight to the point. He knew that Nangong Cheng probably had a favor to ask from him today. Now, the two of them understood each other and were waiting for each other to say the conditions.
Seeing that Li Weiguo asked directly, Nangong Cheng didn't beat around the bush. He sighed and asked, "It's all my fault for not teaching my son well. Mr. Li, give me your conditions."
Hearing what Nangong Cheng said, Li Weiguo acted friendly as he quickly said, "Gee, Brother Nangong, what are you talking about? I've watched this child grow up. At that time, I had high hopes for this child."
"I naturally don't mind. After all, how could a young man not make mistakes?"
Changing the topic, Li Weiguo shook his head again and helplessly said, "It's not that I won't forgive this child. It's that the other shareholders want to pursue responsibility to the end. As the higher ups, you and I have to give an explanation to the others."
"Sigh, my son is still young. Mr. Li, how about this? I'll take out 10% of the shares and give a share to my bros. Let's just forget about this matter." Nangong Cheng reached out and patted the back of Li Weiguo's hand.
10% of the shares was a substantial amount of money. He had a total of 55% of the company's shares. After giving out 10% , there was only 45% left for him.
Li Weiguo looked troubled. After thinking for a long time, he said, "Alright, I'll go and talk to them."
Hearing this, Nangong Cheng immediately heaved a sigh of relief. However, he wasn't stupid. The percentage of shares represented authority level.
Seeing that Li Weiguo agreed, he added, "Mr. Li, the shares can't be transferred anymore."
Hearing this, Li Weiguo was obviously stunned. There was a huge difference between being able to transfer and not being able to transfer the shares.
However, it was already good enough that they could get 10% of Nangong Cheng's shares. Now, they were buddies on the surface, so they couldn't lose all decorum.
"That's fine too. Brother Nangong, I'll go and talk to them now. Whether it works or not, it's up to everyone else." Li Weiguo didn't want to give Nangong Cheng any guarantee.
Nangong Cheng wasn't annoyed. He still said cheerfully, "Alright. I'll have to trouble you then."
Assistant Xiao Ye sent Li Weiguo off. When she returned, she saw that Nangong Cheng's expression was solemn and he didn't say a word.
"President, what do you think Mr. Li means?" Xiao Ye couldn't help but worry.
Nangong Cheng said weakly, "Xiao Ye, I'm tired. Go and arrange the shareholders' meeting the day after tomorrow. I'll rest for a while."
He had paid a huge price this time for the sake of his son.
If he were to give 10%, his shares, plus his son's 5%, would only be 50%.
If these shareholders were to join forces in the future, then those shareholders would have the ability to oppose him.
Fortunately, one of the minority shareholders who owned 3% was his wife's brother.
However, it was still too early to tell whether Li Weiguo would succeed or not. If he failed, he could only send Nangong Shu overseas to hide.
North City, 2 pm.
Liu Qi had already returned to the hotel. She sat in front of the computer and contacted the victims one by one.
However, as soon as she mentioned what Jiang Feng and Yang Fan did to them, Liu Qi was blacklisted by the girls.
She had to think of a way to get these girls to sue Jiang Feng and Yang Fan, not only for her own revenge, but also to reduce the number of victims.
In fact, she didn't want Jiang Feng and Yang Fan to be convicted in the beginning. She wanted to find out more.
However, Jiang Feng and Yang Fan both did so under Liu Fu's orders, so they had no access to Nangong Shu.
So Liu Fu became the key, but she couldn't find out anything about Liu Fu.
This person had a squeaky clean record. According to Yue, this person was also a philanthropist who had donated to an elementary school.
Since they couldn't find anything suspicious about Liu Fu, they naturally couldn't prove Nangong Shu's crime.
Roland's shareholders didn't make a fuss about Roland's breach of contract, which meant that Nangong Cheng had already protected Nangong Shu.
The only thing that could appease the shareholders' anger was giving shares. She didn't know how much Nangong Cheng had given out, but she felt it was a pity that Nangong Shu didn't go to jail.
