Deliberate favoritism, the cold-faced president surrenders obediently

Early the next morning, Lin Qian dragged her luggage and followed the group to the airport.

Li Yanxiu wanted to send her off, but she didn't want any special treatment.

"Don't worry, I'll let you know I'm safe as soon as we get to H City."

Just as she said, she did not break her promise. When she arrived in H City, she posted a work message on her Moments and immediately sent a message to Li Yanxiu to let him know that she was safe.

"I heard that we will stay here for a few more days. It's a trip at public expense. I'm so happy." Li Qi said excitedly.

Lin Qian looked at the message she had sent out feeling depressed.

I heard the delay is because there's a problem with the main venue for Fashion Week. The construction company responsible for building the venue has been embroiled in lawsuits, alleging corruption, bribery, and illegal construction. Partners are now terminating their contracts one after another.

The projects of Li Group were too large and the liquidated damages involved were too high. The architectural firm strongly explained that all of his projects were obtained through bidding, which was fair and just, and there was no corruption or bribery. However, the projects of Li Group involved a wide range of people, so they naturally had to be carefully investigated. It was impossible for them to be fooled by his few explanations.

So the fashion week was delayed due to the venue issue, and we were investigating and looking for an alternative venue.

"Yeah, I haven't been to H City yet, so I might as well go shopping before it gets busy." Lin Qian agreed.

"We'll visit our neighborhood's tourist attractions, and then try all the famous food in H City," Li Qi said excitedly. Then, she gossiped, "Did you know that the president of the architectural firm has come to our colleagues on the inspection team several times, treating them to meals and offering them gifts in an attempt to bribe them, but no one dared to help him. The gifts have all been sent to Manager Li."

Lin Qian was surprised.

Li Qi said, "There's no need for me to say anything. Manager Li is only responsible for clothing design. Her opinion on the inspection team doesn't count. She's like a headless fly, wasting money in vain."

Lin Qian couldn't help laughing.

There was a sudden knock on the door.

Li Qi ran to open the door.

Manager Li was standing at the door, a smile plastered on his face. "Lin Qian has a dinner party tonight. Can you accompany me?"

"it is good."

Lin Qian was grumbling in her heart.

Can't figure it out.

I haven't heard that the Li Group has expanded any new business in H City. Besides, there are many people who are better at business than her, so why did they choose her?

The woman didn't think much about it and followed Manager Li to the restaurant she had made an appointment with in advance.

As soon as the door opened, the man sitting at the table inside immediately stood up and introduced himself.

Song Qing was kind and asked her to sit down.

"Mr. Song, what do you want to talk to me about?"

Song Qing said, "I heard that you have a special relationship with President Li. I'm sure you're smart enough to figure out why I'm looking for you."

Lin Qian glanced at Manager Li, who looked guilty.

She must have been bribed and told Song Qing about her relationship with Li Yanxiu.

Song Qing attentively poured her a cup of tea. "Ms. Lin, our company has always operated legally, and all our projects have been won through bidding. It's fair and just. It's just that our competitors have slandered us for corruption and bribery. Moreover, we have never violated any regulations in doing so. Look..."

Lin Qian looked up and said, "You can just say it."

Song Qing smiled and nodded, "Then I'll be frank. I'd like you to ask Mr. Li for a favor."

"plead?"

"Yes, please ask him to allow our project to continue... As long as the Li Group recognizes me, other partners will naturally continue to cooperate."

Then, he pushed a bank card with a password on it in front of Lin Qian.

All smiles.

Lin Qian was surprised.

She didn't expect Song Qing to bribe her so blatantly with money, and at the same time, she was very disgusted with this behavior.

Lin Qian looked at the bank card and then at Manager Li, who gestured for her to pick it up.

Looking at the current situation, Lin Qian knew that Manager Li had obviously been bribed by him. If she agreed now, who knows what the consequences would be.

Song Qing was still waiting for her reply. She pushed the bank card in front of her back and looked up at Song Qing, saying, "I'm afraid you've misunderstood. President Li must have his reasons for doing things. He sent an inspection team here to investigate, and he must be serious about cooperating with you."

"It seems that Miss Lin still doesn't understand what I mean. I just want you to persuade her to speed up the progress. After all, the company can't last that long." Song Qing smiled embarrassedly.

Lin Qian paused and said, "Mr. Li is a man of principle."

It seems that there is no need to continue eating at this banquet.

She stood up to leave.

Song Qing was about to say something else, but she spoke first, "I'll mention this to President Li. If there really isn't any problem with your company, we'll naturally expedite the inspection, but the final decision rests with President Li."

"Of course." Song Qing smiled. Of course he wouldn't force Lin Qian.

Song Qing walked in front in a flattering manner, opened the door for Lin Qian, and walked her to the hotel entrance.

The scene of him sending Lin Qian out was seen by Jiang Ning who came out of the box next to him.

The company's business has been slow recently, so today she took a few architects to take on some private work, made some money and came to celebrate in the evening.

Unexpectedly, she met Lin Qian here. She said to the man next to her, "I've never seen Mr. Song be so servile to a woman. What's going on here?"

The man next to her said to Jiang Ning, "Hasn't the company been in trouble recently? Find someone to be flexible."

"Mr. Song, do you think she can do it?" Jiang Ning was puzzled.

The man said in a gossipy tone, "You probably don't know this, but Mr. Song heard from somewhere that this woman is having an affair with Mr. Li from the Li Group."

"Mr. Li is in charge of the entire group. How can she influence any decision he makes?" Jiang Ning was sure that Li Yanxiu was very principled in his work and would not be influenced by anyone at all.

The man stared at Jiang Ning, who looked disdainful. "Sister, you're a woman, don't you know that? The biggest project for the architectural design institute right now is the Li Group's project. If we pass the Li Group's inspection, it will be equivalent to telling others that our company is fine. Even if it's useless to say it here, as long as Miss Lin whispers something in her ear, Mr. Li will probably listen to her."

When the woman met his gaze, she felt that the emotions she had been suppressing were about to collapse.

Her eyelashes trembled slightly as she stared at the man who was speaking. She bit her lip lightly as if she was thinking about something, then smiled and said, "You're quite right."

Lin Qian returned from the hotel and went straight back to her room.

As soon as I swiped the card, I heard the sound of water splashing in the bathroom.

Lin Qian thought it was Li Qi taking a shower, so she walked to the bed to charge her phone without paying any attention.

I took a look and felt a little lost.

Three hours have passed and Li Yanxiu has not responded.

Maybe busy.

……

The bathroom door opened and a man came out wrapped in a bath towel.

When she saw who was coming, her eyes lit up immediately.

Li Yanxiu!
