Rebirth 78: After being jilted at the altar, I reached the pinnacle!

Liu Lanfang nervously twisted her fingers and replied in a low voice, "My job at the restaurant is just too depressing... I've heard you have a lot of good projects lately, and I'd like to see if there's a suitable position I can try out for..."

As she spoke, her voice grew even lower.

Li Hanliang sighed inwardly.

He knew that Liu Lanfang was a capable assistant to him, but due to her personality, she had difficulty establishing herself in the complex network of interpersonal relationships.

However, now is clearly not a good time to solve this problem.

However, on the surface, he still maintained a boss-like concern, saying, "Let's talk about this later, okay? I do have important things to deal with. How about this, we can talk in detail after I finish what I'm doing."

After saying that, he gestured to the inside of the office, "Go sit there for a while."

Liu Lanfang nodded, a look of relief on her face, and followed the directions into the small rest room next door.

Li Hanliang then turned to face his assistant again: "Where is Miss Zhao? And what about the guest you mentioned earlier?"

"Miss Zhao has already left, and the guest has also left, but she left a letter." The assistant handed over an envelope.

Li Hanliang took the letter from his assistant and unfolded it to read it.

After a quick glance, Li Hanliang's brows furrowed.

The letter was unsigned, containing only a brief sentence: "Be careful of Zhao Xiaoxian, she's suspicious."

As Li Hanliang read the words in the letter, a wave of emotion involuntarily surged within him.

He folded the envelope again, placed it on the table, tapped his fingers lightly on the surface, and fell into deep thought.

At this moment, the assistant asked again, "Mr. Li, is there anything I can do for you?"

"Okay, go make yourself a cup of coffee first. Also, tell the people in the conference room that the meeting is temporarily canceled. I still have some things to take care of." Li Hanliang waved his hand, signaling his assistant to leave.

The assistant responded and then left the room.

Only when Li Hanliang was alone in the office did he begin to think things through.

Who exactly is this mysterious source of information?

Why would the other party deliberately remind him to be wary of Zhao Xiaomei?

Moreover, is there a bigger conspiracy behind this warning?

Meanwhile, on the other side of the city, Zhao Xiaomei was sitting in a quiet café, waiting for the person she had arranged to meet.

A short while later, a man walked up to Zhao Xiaoxian's table, sat down, and smiled: "Miss Zhao, is this a pleasure to meet you? Please give me your guidance."

"You're the one who sent me the message, right? What do you want from me?" Zhao Xiaoxian looked at the man with a grim expression.

The man smiled and nodded, seemingly unconcerned about Zhao Xiaomei's wariness: "I am Chen Ziming. We don't actually know each other, but what I want to talk about is related to your collaborative project."

Zhao Xiaomei frowned: "Just say what you have to say. I don't have that much time to waste here."

Chen Ziming smiled, a profound look in his eyes: "I know that your Jianghui Group has put a lot of effort into the cooperation with Jinyuan Supermarket, but there is something you probably don't know. Some people in the provincial capital are not optimistic about this project and even hope to see it fail."

Zhao Xiaomei felt a chill run down her spine. She knew that in such a large project, the interests involved were complex and intertwined, but Chen Ziming's words still made her feel uneasy.

"Why are you telling me all this?" Zhao Xiaomei asked, a hint of wariness in her eyes. "And what is your purpose?"

“It’s very simple. The people behind me want to cooperate with you so that you can trip up Li Hanliang,” Chen Ziming said with a smile. “As long as we join forces, we can ensure that this project will not go on, and you can also use this project to take your career to the next level in the provincial capital.”

"You want us to break our agreement with Li Hanliang and help you deal with him, so that our Jianghui Group can take advantage of Li Hanliang's suppression to find time to reopen a chain supermarket in the provincial capital?" Zhao Xiaoxian said.

"Miss Zhao is indeed a smart person, she understands immediately. So what do you think, Miss Zhao? I have an idea that can make your Jianghui Group rise to prominence. This is a great thing." Seeing this, Zhao Ziming added fuel to the fire and encouraged her.

Meanwhile, in Li Hanliang's office, he was sitting at his desk deep in thought.

Liu Lanfang paced anxiously in the small rest room next door, glancing outside every now and then.

Just then, a murmur arose at the doorway as two company employees passed by, whispering amongst themselves.

"Have you heard? Mr. Li has an important guest visiting, and he's still inside."

"Yes, I really don't know who it is that can get to be received by President Li personally at this time. It's truly enviable."

"However, I feel that Mr. Li has been busy with this new project lately, which may be related to that matter."

The employees walked away, talking amongst themselves. Li Hanliang vaguely heard their conversation and couldn't help but smile.

He stood up and walked towards the small lounge.

"Lanfang, let's go out for dinner first, and chat while we eat," Li Hanliang said to Liu Lanfang.

Liu Lanfang nodded and left the office with Li Hanliang.

The two went to a nearby restaurant and found a seat by the window.

"Tell me, why do you suddenly want to leave the restaurant?" Li Hanliang asked gently.

Liu Lanfang bit her lip and said in a low voice, "Boss, you know my personality. I really can't work in a restaurant anymore. I even feel like I'm about to collapse, so I want to change my environment and do some other work."

Li Hanliang nodded, indicating his understanding: "Everyone has a suitable position. Now that you're here, don't worry, I'll arrange a suitable position for you."

"Thank you, boss." Liu Lanfang breathed a sigh of relief and smiled slightly.

Just then, Li Hanliang's phone rang.

Li Hanliang glanced at the caller ID subconsciously, only to find it was an unfamiliar number.

"I'm going to answer a call." Li Hanliang got up and walked to the side.

Li Hanliang answered the phone, and a deep voice came from the other end: "Li Hanliang, long time no see."

"Jing Wenqiang?" Li Hanliang frowned and asked, "You don't come here without a reason. Tell me, what exactly do you want?"

Li Hanliang's voice carried a clear sense of vigilance.

The name Jing Wenqiang is still fresh in his memory.

After all, they were destined to be enemies from the very beginning in Anfeng County.

Moreover, Jing Wenqiang had given him no shortage of trouble during this period, but fortunately Li Hanliang handled these matters without any major incidents.

Jing Wenqiang on the other end of the phone let out a cold laugh: "Oh, I was just thinking of catching up with you, my old friend."
