Jiaojiao is soft and can be bullied, and the crazy CEO is addicted

"Please tell me, Mr. Li, what's the problem?"

Fang Xi felt that Li Hong was deliberately finding fault. All the documents and contracts were clear in black and white, so there could be no problem.

"Mr. Fang has been discussing cooperation with a foreign company recently, right? The first phase of investment was 30 million. We felt that this figure was a bit inflated, so we asked someone to do a background check. Guess what happened?"

Fang Xi followed up on Li Hong's question and asked, "What happened to the foreign company?"

"This company is suspected of money laundering and is under investigation. Over 100 million in assets have been frozen. Before the freeze, 30 million was invested in your account, 10 million of which was your personal account. It's hard not to suspect you have any connection to this."

Money laundering?

Upon hearing this, Fang Xi broke out in a cold sweat.

Fang Xi kept yelling, "Impossible! I didn't launder money. I was doing legitimate business with them."

"Of course I believe Mr. Fang wouldn't do anything illegal, but the board of directors might not believe that. This project of yours has greatly increased the investment risk, and you might even get into legal trouble."

At that time, in order to save some taxes, Fang Xi accepted the other party's suggestion to deposit the money into a personal account.

I really didn't expect that it would be like catching a bug in your butt - asking for trouble and ending up making things worse.

Fang Xi's voice changed. "Mr. Li, what should we do? Look, we're already halfway through. We can't just stop it, right?"

Mr. Li seemed to be deliberately adding fuel to the fire. "I really can't make the decision on this matter. I'm going to report it to the group."

Fang Xi's face showed a look of panic, and he rubbed his hands vigorously as if they were burned.

"You can't report it. If you do, my project will be completely ruined! Mr. Li, can you think of a solution?"

Mr. Li touched his chin and said meaningfully, "Didn't you just say that Mr. Tang is your cousin? Why not ask him for help instead of asking me? With Mr. Tang guaranteeing you, there might be room for improvement."

Yes, yes.

Fang Xi was so frightened that he lost his mind. How could he forget that he still had Tang Shuya as his backer?

He quickly bowed to Li Hong again, thanked him, and then turned and left.

After Fang Xi left, Li Hong immediately sent a message: "Mr. Tang, everything has been done as you requested."

……

When Ling Zhen got off work, she saw Fang Xi waiting for her downstairs again. She wanted to turn around and leave, but then she thought that it was not a solution to keep avoiding him, so she just went up to him.

"Zhao, this is your favorite roasted chestnuts. That shop has been around for a long time and there's even a long line."

Fang Xi took out a bag of still warm chestnuts from his arms, took out one from among them, and gently peeled it, revealing the plump orange-yellow chestnut meat inside. The sweet aroma immediately wafted out.

"Fang Xi, listen to me..."

Fang Xi took advantage of Ling Yuan's opening words and stuffed the chestnut meat into Ling Yuan's mouth. The fragrant and sweet taste burst out in Ling Yuan's mouth, and the words he was about to say slid into his throat along with the melted chestnut meat.

Sweet, really sweet in the mouth.

It’s bitter, my heart really feels bitter.

"Ling Zhen, can you go somewhere with me tonight? I promise you, after tonight, I won't harass you anymore, okay?"

Fang Xi's gaze was as tender as water as he stared at her, giving Ling Zhen the illusion that they had returned to the past.

He also looked at her so gently.

Ling Zhen hesitated for a moment, but finally replied, "Okay."

Fang Xi was obviously excited, and his steps were brisk as he closed the car door and ran back to the driver's seat.

He hasn't changed, and he's still like a child when he's happy.

When they arrived at their destination, Ling Zhen looked up at the sign. It was a bar called "Chu Jian".

Fang Xi looked at the sign that said "First Encounter" with a flickering gaze, and said with some emotion, "I've wanted to bring you to this bar for a long time. The decor inside is really nice, and there are people singing in the evenings."

The atmosphere inside was really good, with soft songs and slow dancing. Ling Zhen was a little nervous at first, but soon he was completely intoxicated and relaxed.

"Come and try this cocktail. I've made some recommendations. It's very light in alcohol, perfect for ladies."

After Fang Xi finished speaking, he pushed the cocktail glass in front of Ling Yuan with his big hand.

Ling Zhen stared at the light pink cocktail, feeling a little embarrassed.

Fang Xi had no intention of forcing him to drink, but his face was filled with a sincere smile.

Ling Zhen looked at the transparent glass wine glass filled with beautiful liquid and a strawberry stuck on the rim of the glass.

She couldn't help but take a sip. The wine had a strong fruity aroma and tasted sour and sweet. She tasted the flavor of strawberry.

Fang Xi watched her drink the wine, with a barely perceptible smile on his lips.

He asked expectantly, "Is it delicious?"

Ling Zhen smiled and nodded: "It tastes good."

Perhaps the atmosphere in the bar was very relaxed, and the cocktail tasted really good, so Ling Yuan, who rarely drank, almost drank it all.

Although the cocktail tastes refreshing, its aftereffect is not negligible. After a while, Ling Zhen's cheeks turned red, and her eyes became hazy and dim due to her drunkenness. She wanted to get up, but Fang Xi saw that her steps were unsteady, so he immediately stood up and reached out to support her.

She took two steps and threw herself into the man's arms.

Fang Xi came out of the bar half-holding Ling Zhen.

She could hardly walk, and her whole body leaned softly on Fang Xi, allowing Fang Xi to hug her body.

Fang Xi helped Ling Zhen into the car and called her name tentatively.

Ling Yuan did not respond, his head tilted to one side. Although his eyes were narrowed, his gaze was already unfocused, and it was obvious that his consciousness was blurred.

The medicine Tang Shuya gave is really effective.

Just a little bit can make people dizzy like this.

After leaving Li Hong today.

Fang Xi immediately called Tang Shuya and said that he wanted to meet him.

Unexpectedly, Tang Shuya agreed readily.

Tang Shuya didn't let him go to the company, but instead made an appointment with him at a quiet teahouse.

When I met Tang Shuya, he was making tea by himself at the tea table.

"Fang Xi is here? Please sit down."

Tang Shuya still maintained his usual gentle demeanor, even with a hint of warmth.

Fang Xi looked at him like that and felt more and more uneasy.

But after taking a deep breath, he still sat down opposite Tang Shuya.

Tang Shuya smiled and asked attentively, "What kind of tea does Fang Xi like? Is Rain-Previous Longjing okay? The Rain-Previous Longjing here is very good."

Fang Xi quickly replied, "Sure, sure! I'm fine with anything I drink."

Tang Shuya chuckled, picked up a suitable amount of tea leaves from a wooden rack, and then boiled water.

Throughout the whole process, he was elegant and orderly.

But the more this happened, the more anxious Fang Xi on the opposite side became.
