Keeping the promise

As night falls, the city's neon lights flicker and the bustling streets are filled with traffic.

Li Yunting was wearing a well-cut black suit, with an upright posture and a stern face that looked even more profound under the light. Zheng Wancheng, who was standing beside him, was wearing an elegant white evening gown. Her delicate makeup and decent smile made her particularly dazzling in the crowd.

Tonight, Li Yunting took Zheng Wancheng to an important workplace dinner. This dinner brought together elites from all walks of life in the industry. The atmosphere seemed harmonious, but in fact, there were undercurrents.

When they walked into the private room, the noisy room suddenly became quiet for a moment. Everyone's eyes turned to Li Yunting and Zheng Wancheng, their eyes full of curiosity and speculation.

"Mr. Li, you're here." A middle-aged man in a suit and tie stood up to greet him, a flattering smile on his face.

Li Yunting nodded slightly, indicating that everyone could feel free to do as they pleased, and then pulled Zheng Wancheng to sit down next to the main seat.

At this moment, Zheng Wancheng's eyes accidentally swept across a familiar figure - Qin Huaiwei. She was wearing a sexy red dress, and her eyes were full of jealousy and unwillingness.

Zheng Wancheng's heart tightened slightly, but she quickly regained her composure. She smiled and nodded to the people around her.

The dinner started, everyone toasted each other, and talked and laughed. Li Yunting always maintained his dignity and calmness, occasionally whispering a few words to the people around him.

"Mr. Li, the company's development momentum has been getting stronger and stronger recently." An executive raised his glass and toasted Li Yunting.

Li Yunting took a sip of wine and said, "This is all thanks to everyone's efforts."

At this point, the topic gradually turned to the company's business segments.

"Mr. Li, I heard that you have recently focused on the medical beauty sector. However, the film and television sector has seen a sharp rise recently due to the film "Floating Life" with Jie An. I wonder if you have any new plans for investment in the film and television sector?" someone asked tentatively.

Li Yunting put down his wine glass, and his eyes swept through the crowd, finally stopping at Zheng Wancheng. He smiled slightly and said, "From today on, the investment in the film and television sector will be handed over to Zheng Wancheng."

As soon as these words came out, the whole place was in an uproar.

Zheng Wancheng widened her eyes and looked at Li Yunting in disbelief. She didn't expect that he would give this project to her!

Qin Huaiwei's face turned pale in an instant. She gripped the wine glass tightly in her hand, and her knuckles turned white from the force.

"Mr. Li, this...how can this be handed over to a newcomer?" Qin Huaiwei couldn't help it anymore and blurted out.

There was no way she could let Zheng Wancheng be successful. He stole her man and now wanted to steal her project.

Li Yunting frowned slightly, with a hint of displeasure in his eyes: "Although Zheng Wancheng is a newcomer, her ability and talent are obvious to all. I believe she can do well."

Seeing that Li Yunting had said so much, Zheng Wancheng naturally had no reason to back down.

Zheng Wancheng took a deep breath and said with a smile: "Thank you for your trust, President Li. I will definitely not let you down."

Qin Huaiwei snorted coldly: "Humph, just you? Don't think you can rise to the top just by relying on Boss Li."

Zheng Wancheng's expression remained unchanged, and he responded calmly: "Ms. Qin, I rely on my own strength, not what you said."

"You!" Qin Huaiwei stood up angrily, "Boss Li, what you are doing is so unfair! Can't you clearly distinguish between public and private matters?"

Li Yunting's face darkened: "Qin Huaiwei, watch your words and actions. This is the company's decision, you can't question it casually."

Qin Huaiwei bit her lip, tears in her eyes: "Li Yunting, you actually treated me like this for her?"

After saying that, she threw the wine glass in her hand heavily to the ground, turned around and left angrily.

The atmosphere in the private room suddenly became awkward.

Li Yunting sighed slightly: "Everyone, continue, don't let this little episode affect your mood."

Everyone quickly agreed and the dinner continued, but the atmosphere was not as lively as before.

Zheng Wancheng felt mixed emotions. She knew that from this moment on, she would face more challenges and pressures. But she was willing to work hard to walk side by side with Li Yunting.

After the dinner, Li Yunting and Zheng Wancheng walked out of the hotel.

"Don't take what happened tonight to heart. I didn't give you the project because of you. I was impressed by your strength." Li Yunting said.

Zheng Wancheng nodded: "Boss Li, I understand. I will stand by you step by step."

Li Yunting looked at her determined eyes and couldn't help but feel a little more admiration in his heart: "I believe you."

Li Yunting's cell phone suddenly rang. He took out his cell phone, saw the number displayed on the screen, his expression froze slightly, and then he walked aside to answer the call.

Zheng Wancheng obediently gestured to him that she would go out and wait for the driver. The night wind was a little cool, blowing Zheng Wancheng's hair. She stood quietly at the door of the hotel, her eyes a little vague, and her mind was still recalling everything that happened at the dinner.

At this moment, a black car was speeding around the corner. Qin Huaiwei, who was sitting in the driver's seat, had a distorted face and eyes full of hatred and anger. She stared at Zheng Wancheng and stepped on the accelerator to the bottom.
