Sweet Wife in a Warm Pet Contract

Chapter 33 The Wife Sings, the Husband Follows

"Manager Li, please wait. Please wait until I have consulted with the president before you go in." Secretary Ai quickly stopped him. If he barged in like this and the president was in a bad mood, she was afraid she would be fired.

Secretary Ai nodded approvingly at Li Junchao, saying that she should do it this way and there was no need to be afraid of offending Li Guowei, since she wasn't working under him anyway.

"I'm looking for my uncle, no need to announce it!" Li Guowei wanted to show off his power, but he forgot one thing: Li Zhicheng disliked people using their kinship to threaten others in the company.

Secretary Ai ignored him and picked up the phone to dial the internal line.

Li Zhicheng was in his office, but he didn't want to see Li Guowei, so he told Secretary Ai to say that he wasn't there.

Secretary Ai hung up the phone in great embarrassment. It was her own fault for causing this trouble; she had said the president was in his office, and now it was her turn to deal with it.

"Manager Li, I'm very sorry, the president is not in his office." She had no choice but to say it, forcing herself to speak.

"Are you kidding me? Didn't you just say he was inside, and that Assistant Li just came out?" Li Guowei cursed angrily.

"Manager Li, if you have an emergency, you can call the president. There's no need to make things difficult for us," Li Jun said, speaking up for Secretary Ai.

"Hmph, you just wait!" Li Guowei said viciously, taking out his phone and calling Li Zhicheng in front of them.

To his surprise, Li Zhicheng didn't answer the phone even after several attempts. He could even hear the phone ringing inside the office through the door.

Secretary Ai and Li Jun exchanged a glance, then tacitly returned to their seats, intending to ignore Li Guowei.

Li Guowei was furious. He was so ignored by Li Zhicheng. He thought to himself: Once the Li family is in my hands, I will make you wish you were dead!

Li Zhicheng didn't want to see Li Guowei and his son. What good business could they possibly have besides causing him trouble?

Moreover, Li Guowei's father, Li Dahai, was extremely greedy, and many people were secretly gossiping about him. He also had some evidence of Li Guowei's bribery and was thinking of giving him one last chance. If he made another mistake, he would kick him out.

Li Guowei was not only more trouble than he was worth, but he was also a little greedy. When he got married, he took money from the finance department under various pretexts. Don't think he didn't know.

He came to see him today, probably wanting money back, but he won't give him any more.

All household expenses are paid by Li Shi. They live comfortably, receive Li Shi's salary without doing anything, and then expect him to continue to indulge them? How could that be possible?

After failing to answer the phone several times, Li Guowei had no choice but to back down: "My uncle is a very busy man. I don't know where he is on a business trip. I'll call him when I get home tonight."

After he left, Secretary Ai said softly, "Assistant Li said he wants to invite us to his wedding banquet."

"I'm busy." Li Jun refused without even thinking.

Secretary Ai thought to herself with distress that she also needed to find an excuse to decline, as no one wants their wallet to be empty.

In the evening, Shen Menghan returned to the Li family home before dark.

Li Zhicheng waited for her to eat together. The two sat quietly. Apart from Aunt Li in the kitchen, it was just the two of them in the house.

Seeing that she was eating very slowly, which was not like her usual style, Li Zhicheng asked her, "Xiaohan, is this dish not to your liking?"

She looked up at him, shook her head, and said, "No, I'm just tired."

"Take your time with company matters, don't rush. If you really can't handle it, rest at home tomorrow."

"The day after tomorrow is Saturday, so I can rest. I can still manage. Li Zhicheng, I may really not be suited to be a manager." She sighed. Seeing the huge amount of work at the company, she was already overwhelmed. When she got home, she still had to face Xu Jingjing and Li Guowei at any time. She was on the verge of collapse.

"Take your time. No one is forcing you to get things sorted out right away. Have some confidence in yourself. But if you really don't want to do it, then forget it." Li Zhicheng didn't want her to be too tired, but he also wanted her to grow. If he forced her to stay at home as a young mistress, she would easily feel empty and lonely in the long run. It would be better to let her stay outside. Anyway, when she comes home, she doesn't have to do any housework.

Shen Menghan nodded. She was trying to change herself. In addition to management, she would not give up her original design work.

They had almost finished eating when there was a knock on the door.

Shen Menghan thought that those people and things had nothing to do with her, so she decided to go upstairs to take a shower and rest first.

"Uncle, are you home? This is Guowei. I need to talk to you."

Upon hearing the sound, Shen Menghan stopped. Why was Li Guowei looking for Li Zhicheng? She wanted to stay and see what he was up to.

Li Zhicheng first looked at her and asked, "Xiaohan, if you don't want to see them, go upstairs first. I will stand up for you."

"I'm fine, let them in." She could also take the opportunity to teach them a lesson.

Li Zhicheng then called out to the kitchen, "Sister Li, go open the door. You can come back and clean up later."

Aunt Li tactfully withdrew, letting Li Guowei and the others into the house. After that, she closed the door and walked towards her own quarters.

Xu Jingjing walked in side by side with Li Guowei, carrying a fruit basket in her hand.

She wanted to get an important position in the Li family, so she had to come to Li Zhicheng's house, and Li Guowei insisted on dragging her there.

Seeing Shen Menghan and Li Zhicheng snuggling together on the sofa, her eyes narrowed into slits, radiating a dangerous light.

"Uncle, have you eaten? Jingjing and I have some things we'd like you to help us with." Li Guowei sat down, and when his eyes inadvertently glanced at Shen Menghan, he saw her nestled gently in Li Zhicheng's arms. A surge of anger instantly ignited in his chest. They had been dating for two years, and she would resist even a simple hug from him. Yet now she was so affectionate with her uncle!

Li Zhicheng stared at Shen Menghan's head and said to her, "Xiaohan, should I help them with their problem?"

Shen Menghan didn't expect him to throw the question at her so directly. Well, that's fine, she can give them a good thrashing!

"Honey, I don't get along with them, so please don't help them." She returned his gaze with a gentle smile, looking at him tenderly, as if he were the only one in her eyes.

"Okay, I'll do whatever you say." Li Zhicheng tenderly kissed her forehead, taking the opportunity to get a good deal.

Xu Jingjing and Li Guowei exchanged glances, they hadn't expected Shen Menghan to be so cold-hearted.

"Uncle, we just want to..."

"I don't want to hear anything about you. Get out." Li Zhicheng interrupted him. Did he want to mention his help? His woman wouldn't allow it, and neither would he.

Shen Menghan smiled radiantly, whether from Li Zhicheng's compliance or from the shyness brought on by his kiss, it was hard to tell.

"Uncle, I want to ask you for a favor. I'd like to work at the Li Corporation. Could you arrange a position for me?" Xu Jingjing quickly said after seeing that Li Guowei had been completely rejected.

"Get out!" Li Zhicheng suddenly flew into a rage, extremely displeased with Xu Jingjing's interruption.
