Chapter 2036: Give Me the Li Corporation?

It wasn’t right to say that Ye Qingqiu was indifferent to Lian Lili. However, facing her, she could only deal with whatever came her way.

She had to react on the spot. If Lian Lili was in a better mood, she would be more relaxed. If she was in a bad mood, she would at most not provoke her.

She had known for a long time that she disliked her.

It was cold outside, so Ye Qingqiu naturally didn’t want to wait for them at the door. She pulled Li Tingshen to the rest area.

The receptionist immediately arranged for tea and snacks.

Li Tingshen went to the side to answer the call. A few minutes later, he returned and sat opposite Ye Qingqiu.

She took a sip of warm water.

Two minutes later, Li Tingshen spoke.

“If you have something to say, say it. Is there a flower on my face?”

Ye Qingqiu pursed her lips.

She said that she didn’t know what to ask him. Seeing that he was busy, she didn’t ask.

Until now, he had not mentioned anything about work.

However…

Ye Qingqiu lowered her head and twirled her hair. She placed her palm on the warm porcelain cup and said casually,

“I heard President Chen from the project department mention a project to develop mechanical equipment today. The performance of the latest mechanical equipment has been greatly improved. It will definitely be able to eliminate the old version of equipment that has been dominating the market for so many years. I’m absolutely confident that we can monopolize the domestic market. The Ye Corporation has the technology and development rights… President Chen is right. Instead of bidding on other manufacturers, why don’t we give this business to the Li Corporation? Given the relationship between the Li Corporation and the Ye Corporation, why don’t you consider it?”

Li Tingshen’s expression was indifferent. “Those who are interested in the Ye Corporation’s project, such as the Bo Corporation, the Yin Corporation, and the Pei Corporation, are all outstanding figures in the company. The Li Corporation doesn’t have the ability to do this business with the Ye Corporation yet.”

“So what? If the Ye Corporation chooses the Li Corporation, they can only watch helplessly. Li Tingshen, how many people want such a convenient opportunity? Are you really incapable? Or are you afraid of the Bo Corporation, the Yin Corporation, or the Pei Corporation? Or are you just unwilling to cooperate with the Ye Corporation?”

“As the temporary manager of the Ye Corporation, the Bo Corporation, the Yin Corporation, and the Pei Corporation are all more worthy of cooperation than the Li Corporation. As for my unwillingness to cooperate with the Ye Corporation… Do you want me to use the power of the Ye Corporation to provide convenience to the Li Corporation?”

Ye Qingqiu could guess this and was not surprised by his words.

“Why not? As a businessman, benefits are the most important. Why do you care so much? If you feel embarrassed, I’ll do it.”

Li Tingshen smirked. “Is there a difference?”

Ye Qingqiu frowned and said, “I don’t dare to accept big jobs, but I can’t be bothered to accept small jobs. What’s the use of the Li Corporation? It’s a waste of resources. Why don’t we let the Ye Corporation take over the Li Corporation? This way, you don’t have to worry about how others will evaluate the Li Corporation… Oh, that’s a good idea…”

The more she spoke, the more Ye Qingqiu felt that this matter was feasible.

Li Tingshen narrowed his eyes and remained silent.

Ye Qingqiu seemed to have thought of something. She supported her chin with her hand and smiled at him. “Why don’t we do that? We can evaluate the value of the Li Corporation and convert it into shares for you?”

“Or, why don’t you transfer the Li Corporation to me and I’ll give you a portion of the Ye Corporation’s shares?”

Li Tingshen looked at her calmly. “Why are you doing this? Why are you suddenly so interested in the Li Corporation?”

She blinked and said, “I suddenly thought of something. If there’s anything in this world that’s important to you, other than your mother, it’s probably the Li Corporation that your father left for you. Hmm… After thinking about it, I still don’t have a trump card that can give me absolute confidence in front of you. Now that I think about it, isn’t the Li Corporation the same?”

Li Tingshen’s gaze seemed a little deep as he stared at her quietly.

“Indeed, this is the last thing the Li Corporation has. So, what if I don’t agree?”

Ye Qingqiu retracted her hand and leaned back on the sofa with a nonchalant smile. “Shall we destroy it?”

Li Tingshen pursed his lips, clearly dissatisfied with this answer.

Seeing this, Ye Qingqiu smiled lightly. “In comparison, isn’t it the best suggestion to put the Li Corporation under the Ye Corporation?”

“I wonder how the Li Corporation made you unhappy again?”

The voice came from behind Ye Qingqiu. It was a familiar female voice. It was Lian Lili.

Ye Qingqiu glanced at the cup in her hand before putting on a smile and standing up.

Lian Lili had already walked to the opposite side of her and looked at her warily.

“I was just saying casually just now. Later on, I felt that this idea wasn’t bad. Relying on the Ye Corporation isn’t a bad thing, right? Moreover, the Ye Corporation and the Li Corporation will be one family in the future. There’s no need to be so clear.”

Lian Lili sneered and said, “That’s a matter for the future. Eat as much as you can. Don’t have any designs on the Li Corporation.”

Ye Qingqiu raised an eyebrow and smiled gently without saying anything.

Since she didn’t mention it, she wouldn’t.

Most importantly, Li Tingshen had already stood up with a grim expression.

“Let’s go.”

Lian Lili glanced at Ye Qingqiu. She was probably worried about Li Tingshen’s expression. She pursed her lips as if she had suppressed too much dissatisfaction.

At night, they had dinner with Lian Lili.

However, Ye Qingqiu felt that not eating with Lian Lili was considered filial piety.

Therefore, it was even more impossible for her to stay there at night.

Back at the Ye residence, Li Tingshen drove while Ye Qingqiu sat in the passenger seat.

“Where are you going tomorrow?”

“Just like today.”

“Are you going to leave me alone in the office again?”

“I’m disturbing your studies.”

Ye Qingqiu leaned against the car window, her slender fingers twirling a strand of hair.

She was silent for a few seconds before saying slowly, “That’s true…”

Li Tingshen smirked. “Do you want me to prepare a few more sketches for you?”

Ye Qingqiu shook her head. “No need. I’m prepared.”

Li Tingshen was speechless.

When they reached home, the servant welcomed them respectfully.

“Miss, I received a lot of packages today. I’ve temporarily placed them in the warehouse. If you want to open them now, I’ll help you take them out.”

Ye Qingqiu changed her shoes and said, “Oh, take it out.”

There were indeed many bags. Ye Qingqiu sat cross-legged in a corner of the living room with a waterproof mat. She held a handmade knife and started to open the bags.

Most of them were small items. There were mugs, thermos cups, and the small decorations in the room. They had to be dismantled and studied. The content of the manual was many times more serious than reading documents.

Li Tingshen went upstairs to take a shower first. When he came out, he realized that there was no one in the bedroom. When he went downstairs, he saw Ye Qingqiu playing with the little thing.

“Go and wash up. You have to wake up early tomorrow.”

Ye Qingqiu looked up at him and handed him a white thermos flask.

“This is for you.”

Li Tingshen took it and took a look. It was slightly heavier. Ye Qingqiu’s profile picture was engraved on the cup and her name was written below.

Beside her, there was also something engraved in the same black style. It was probably his profile picture and name.

Looking at the other items, most of them were for two people.

The darker ones were hers and the lighter ones were his.

“Why did you suddenly think of buying these?”

“When I came back this time, I realized that there are no traces of your life here. It doesn’t look comfortable.”

When she spoke, her attention was still on those small items. Her tone and attitude were as expected.

Li Tingshen didn’t say anything and urged her to sleep.

The next morning, Ye Qingqiu smiled in satisfaction when she saw the white thermos in the car.

After sending her to the Ye Corporation and arranging work for the others, she drove away.

Ye Qingqiu was still distracted, but after reading the two documents, she realized that the content was similar to what the person-in-charge had said yesterday.

She frowned and put the document aside. She walked around the office twice before there was a knock on the door.

It was Xiao Xu with a lot of things in his arms.

“Miss Ye, your name is written on these packages…”

Ye Qingqiu was bored. When she saw the packages, she finally perked up. “Put them on the desk.”

“Okay.”

She sat in Li Tingshen’s seat and started to open the package with a penknife.

Before noon, when Li Tingshen returned, there were many things in the office.

There was another photo frame on his desk. The pen holder had been replaced. There were a few more pens. The mouse pad had been replaced with a brand new one. There were two more notebooks…

He looked at the desk in the corner. It was almost the same setup as his desk, but the color was simpler. There was a cushion on the chair.

There was a fresh vase of flowers on the coffee table.

“…”

He wondered if it was the right choice to leave her alone in the company.

Ye Qingqiu acted as if she hadn’t done anything. Seeing him return, she asked, “What’s for lunch today?”

Li Tingshen asked, “How much did you read?”

Ye Qingqiu stretched out three sticks… After some hesitation, she picked up another. “Four.”

Li Tingshen stood in front of the computer and tapped on the keyboard with one hand. A video frame appeared on the screen. It was a video of Hao Ran’s office.

She recorded Ye Qingqiu’s every move.

The woman in the video was as bored as she could be. But other than work, she seemed to be interested in everything else.

However, she wasn’t surprised.

There was no sound in the video, and Ye Qingqiu had no idea what he was doing. The corners of his lips curled up slightly.

“What are you looking at? I’m hungry.”

As she spoke, she walked towards him. Li Tingshen turned off the video silently.

Ye Qingqiu walked closer and saw a screen full of words.

Li Tingshen turned to look at her. “You’ve improved a lot since yesterday. Did you really spend the entire morning reading documents?”

Ye Qingqiu nodded. “Yes.”

Li Tingshen glanced at the items on the table and nodded. “Yes, I’ll take you out for lunch today.”

After staying in the office for the entire morning, this suggestion suited Ye Qingqiu’s taste.

*

In the afternoon, Li Tingshen stayed at the Ye Corporation.

They took turns to call people to the company to report and discuss work.

It was the same for several days.

No matter how much Ye Qingqiu disliked hearing about the company, it was hard for her not to know.

After everything was done, it was time for the company’s annual meeting.

She was too busy.

The Ye Corporation, Li Corporation, and C&P’s annual meeting were arranged on the same day. For convenience’s sake, they chose to hold it in the same hotel.

There were two 26-story tall buildings in the hotel. The corridor was connected to each other.

The banquet hall on the top floor was occupied by the Ye Corporation and the Li Corporation, respectively.

The annual meeting of C&P was held one floor below the Li Corporation building.

It had nothing to do with the Ye Corporation.

Ye Qingqiu was wearing a silver-gray slim-fit dress. The hem of the dress reached her knees and she wore a pair of silver heels. She didn’t seem to be dressed up like the others, but she was still the most eye-catching among the crowd.

Ye Qingqiu’s existence made women feel inferior.

The clothes she was wearing were simple but definitely expensive.

The man beside her was even more handsome and outstanding.

She had everything that everyone envied.

Li Tingshen brought Ye Qingqiu to the Li Corporation’s annual meeting and said some official words. After receiving a few glasses of wine, he brought Ye Qingqiu to the Ye Corporation.

The Ye Corporation’s annual meeting was arranged by Li Tingshen, but Old Master and Ye Jianyun were both present. Most of the attention was on the two of them.

When Li Tingshen and Ye Qingqiu appeared at the Ye Corporation’s annual meeting, many people toasted them.

For a moment, the two of them were like a couple walking among the guests, receiving blessings and drinks.

Li Tingshen led Ye Qingqiu to their seats and sat down.

“Isn’t the C&P Club downstairs? Aren’t you going?”

“Yes, there are others.”

Ye Qingqiu supported her chin and smiled at him. “I heard that there are many famous actresses.”

Li Tingshen glanced at her indifferently. “There are also many famous male celebrities.”

“You’re really not going to take a look?”

Li Tingshen snorted coldly. “If your intentions weren’t so obvious, I might have considered it.”

“I only want to see pretty ladies.”

Li Tingshen was unmoved. “Yes, I’ll call them to your side one day.”

She could tell that Li Tingshen really didn’t intend to go to C&P. Ye Qingqiu also knew that he had always kept a low profile.

It was even more so in the entertainment industry.

C&P had just started and they had already won a grand slam. The film and television resources in their hands made countless people in the industry covet them.

One could imagine how many people wanted to get close to Li Tingshen.

However, Li Tingshen was not a patient person and did not want to waste time on someone who wanted to get close to him.

How many reporters had secretly visited the event?

There were too many reasons why Li Tingshen wasn’t there.

Not long after, Xiao Chu rushed over.

She lowered her voice and said to Li Tingshen, “CEO Li, the young master of the Qin family drank too much at the C&P annual meeting. Now, he’s at the Li Corporation’s annual meeting… He’s making a scene.”

Li Tingshen frowned and his face darkened.

Seeing him stand up, Ye Qingqiu grabbed his wrist and asked, “What happened?”

“Wait here obediently. I’ll go opposite.”

With that, he squeezed her shoulder and pushed her hand away before following Xiao Chu.

Seeing that Li Tingshen had disappeared, Ye Qingqiu finally stood up and followed him.

At the venue of the Li Corporation’s annual meeting, Qin Hao was sitting on the steps of the multimedia stage. He had drunk more than half a bottle of strong alcohol and was drinking it.

Her face was filled with drunkenness. When she saw Li Tingshen, she sneered and supported herself with her arms. She stood up shakily and walked towards him.

“Li… Ting… Shen…”

He pointed at him from afar and shouted Li Tingshen’s name word by word. Every word sounded like it had been sharpened by his teeth.

“You’re amazing… You’re really amazing…”

He sneered and gave Li Tingshen a thumbs up.

“I admit that your methods are impressive and I’ve seen how ruthless you are. Xu’er said that the winner is the king and the loser is the thief. My Qin family’s skills are inferior to yours. I can’t blame anyone for coming this far. Ha… I can’t blame anyone. My Qin family didn’t offend you or offend you. Just because the Qin family blocked your path and because you took a fancy to the things in the Qin family’s hands, you occupied the hard work of my Qin family for generations…”

The people present didn’t expect to encounter such a thing at the annual meeting the night before the holidays. Hearing Qin Jianjia’s words, their expressions changed.

They had heard of their boss’s methods. They had also heard about the Qin family.

This was because they had never heard of any conflict between the Qin family and the Li Corporation.

Taking in the Qin family was only a spur of the moment decision because this young master of the Qin family had almost taken advantage of Eldest Miss Ye.

After all, she was his fiancée, so she had angered Li Tingshen and attacked the Qin family.

Of course, there were also people who had heard or guessed that it was premeditated?

Qin Hao’s reaction seemed to suggest the latter.

“Seeing that you’re still one of the shareholders of the Qin Corporation and Qin Hao can understand human language, leave immediately.”

When the Qin family disbanded, most people handed over their shares. Only Qin Hao was hospitalized. Even when he woke up, he refused to give up the 10% shares.

Qin Jianjia smiled and said, “Don’t worry, I know very well that this isn’t the Qin Corporation. I also know very well that this is the Li Corporation’s annual meeting… Of course, I can’t do anything to the Qin Corporation. That’s the last thing the Qin family has. I can’t smear it, just like how the Li Corporation means to you… You’ve destroyed my Qin family. Tell me… Why don’t I learn from you and destroy the Li Corporation too? I’ll let you have a taste of what I’ve done today.”

Li Tingshen looked at Qin Jianjia coldly. “You can’t even protect the Qin family, so how can you destroy the Li Corporation?”

These words seemed to have exhausted Qin Hao’s last bit of dignity. His drunken eyes were gradually replaced by anger and ruthlessness. Blood vessels filled his eyes, making him look especially scary.

It was as if he would pounce on Li Tingshen and fight to the death the next second.

Qin Hao raised the bottle in his hand and took a few gulps before smashing it on the table beside Li Tingshen.

The shattering sound seemed to have pierced through Ye Qingqiu’s nerves. Subconsciously, she quickly walked towards Li Tingshen. When she saw Qin Jianjia suddenly raising the broken wine bottle in her hand and stabbing it at Li Tingshen, her face turned pale and her mind went blank. She shouted in a daze. Ignoring the fact that she was still wearing high heels that she wasn’t good at, she ran over and grabbed Li Tingshen’s arm. With a tug, the two of them spun in a circle…

Ye Qingqiu hugged Li Tingshen tightly and stood in front of him.

A drop of blood landed on the back of Li Tingshen’s hand and the woman’s body almost fell from his embrace.

Everyone in the banquet hall gasped.

Li Tingshen, who had not expected Ye Qingqiu to suddenly appear, had his eyes reddened by the blood on the back of his hand.

The blood vessels on his arm could be seen clearly. His face, which was usually cold and indifferent, was dyed with a faint smile at most. At this moment, he was like a sword that had been soaked in blood. He looked at Qin Jianjia with a bloodthirsty aura.

Ye Qingqiu felt a sharp pain in her arm and ankle.

She saw Li Tingshen’s unreserved anger as he grabbed Li Tingshen’s clothes forcefully. Her entire body was trembling from the pain.

“Li Tingshen.” She stood up straight.

Li Tingshen’s terrifying gaze landed on her pale face.

There was a loud smack.

Li Tingshen suffered a slap from Ye Qingqiu.

Li Tingshen stared at her coldly.

“He’s drunk and his mind isn’t clear. Have you drunk too much? What good do you think it will do you to anger him now? What if he really hurts you?!”

Ye Qingqiu’s lips trembled in pain. Although her voice was filled with anger, it was also trembling.

Her stubborn expression seemed to be a physiological reaction from the pain.

However, her red eyes made him understand that she was crying, whether it was from fear, anger, or pain.

His heart suddenly throbbed with pain as his gaze swept across her body. Finally, he saw a clear wound on her right arm.

He reached for her arm, his expression dark. “Where else are you hurt?”

Ye Qingqiu bit her lips as tears streamed down her face.

An unfamiliar panic and anxiety swirled in Li Tingshen’s heart.

He couldn’t help but growl.

“Speak!”

The last bit of forbearance seemed to have been broken by Li Tingshen’s low growl. Pain, grievance, fear, and all the other emotions that were mixed together at that moment collapsed as tears flowed silently.

“… My feet hurt.”

She sprained her ankle when she pounced on him.

Li Tingshen lowered his head and saw the high heels on her feet. With a dark and tense expression, he bent down to carry her.

Qin Hao had already been pressed to the ground by Xiao Chu. His knees were pressed against Qin Hao’s hand that was forced on his back.

In fact, Xiao Chu was standing beside Li Tingshen. When Qin Jianjia rushed over, he had already reacted. However, Ye Qingqiu’s panicked shout made him pause.

In that instant, the broken bottle in Qin Hao’s hand passed by his eyes.

Although she tried to salvage the situation, she still injured Ye Qingqiu’s arm.

Qin Jianjia watched as Li Tingshen carried Ye Qingqiu away. Unable to break free from Xiao Chu, she could only shout at Li Tingshen’s back with bloodshot eyes.

“Li Tingshen, don’t be too arrogant. One day, you will pay for your words and actions!”

Li Tingshen did not stop.

*

Knowing that Ye Qingqiu was injured, Old Master Ye and Ye Jianyun rushed to the hospital.

Her ankle was sprained and there was a two-centimeter cut on her arm. It was not shallow nor deep.

It had already been treated and bandaged. Her ankle was also bandaged.

Ye Qingqiu’s eyes were red and swollen from crying.

Seeing Old Master and Ye Jianyun, he called out “Grandpa” and “Dad” in a nasal voice.

Li Tingshen had just ended the call when Xiao Chu threw Qin Jianjia into the local police station.
