My Beautiful CEO.

"Now that I'm back, I don't want to leave this city..."

Li Cheng originally wanted to celebrate their reunion, but remembering that Yang Tao had just lost her father, he changed the subject:

"By the way, Yang Tao, how did you get in touch with the sharp-nosed monkey?"

“I went to your company entrance but didn’t see you. I happened to run into the monkey, so I called you over.” Yang Tao wiped away her tears and said calmly, “I heard that you’re not in a good position right now. You’re not valued by your boss and are often bullied by your colleagues.”

"Well... it's really nothing. After all, I know my own limitations. I'm already lucky to have a job in Dongguan!" Li Cheng's expression was blank, as if he had lost all enthusiasm and hope for life.

Yang Tao bit her lip and said, "Li Cheng, I've been working hard in another city for the past two years and I've saved up some money. If you don't mind, how about we start a business together?"

"Let's start a business together? What can we do?" Li Cheng's eyes widened.

"I'm back from out of town. I'll come find you after I've taken care of things at home, okay?" Yang Tao said softly.

"Yang Tao, don't overthink it. I'm just a low-level worker, I can't help you. Don't flatter me, I have no ability at all..." Li Cheng said with a gloomy face and some pain.

"It's okay, don't worry. As long as you're here, I believe we can get everything done," Yang Tao said confidently.

Hearing Yang Tao's words, Li Cheng felt very sad. He understood that Yang Tao's invitation to him was not just about starting a business.

But what can I give her?

Li Cheng knew that he couldn't go anywhere now.

Back then, Li Cheng's father left a will saying that the Li family had an ancestral Chinese medicine book that had been secretly hidden by Zhang Qing's father more than ten years ago. He said that as long as the book was found, the Li family could rise again and create new glories.

However, for the past three years, Li Cheng has been living at Zhang Qing's house, trying every means to find that medical book, but he has never been able to find it.

In Li Cheng's view, his mission is to find medical books and revitalize the Li family.

As for Yang Tao, she's from a completely different world. No matter what, they're destined to never be together.

Now that Qian Xiaoqian has cheated on him, Li Cheng is even more ashamed.

Thinking of this, Li Cheng sighed and said to Yang Tao, "I'm sorry, I really can't help you with anything."

"Why?" Yang Tao was stunned.

"I...I'm not willing to accept this. I've worked so hard for the company for so many years, I can't just leave like this," Li Cheng explained guiltily.

Yang Tao knew why Li Cheng couldn't leave, and instantly felt a little disappointed.

At this moment, the sharp-nosed monkey came over and pulled Li Cheng to sit down.

During the dinner, Sharp-Mouthed Monkey kept trying to please Yang Tao, while Li Cheng silently drank his wine in silence.

Just before it was time to go to work, Li Cheng felt suffocated and quickly came out of the private room to get some fresh air.

Arriving at the hotel entrance, looking at the bustling city before him, Li Cheng felt that not a single corner belonged to him.

I really want to have a good cry, but I just can't.

Having drunk too much, Li Cheng felt the urge to urinate. He looked around and, with blurry vision, walked towards the hotel's backyard.

The backyard was under renovation, and it was midday, so few people came and went. Without thinking, Li Cheng pushed open the toilet door in front.

"what……"

To my surprise, there was someone in the restroom, and it was a woman.

Li Cheng opened his eyes and immediately saw a beautiful woman squatting on the toilet, her face flushed as she avoided him.

"Hey kid, it's you! Li Cheng, this is the women's restroom, don't you have eyes?"

The woman inside recognized Li Cheng and was immediately enraged, glaring at him fiercely.

Li Cheng was startled, and the effects of the alcohol immediately sobered him up considerably.

Upon closer inspection, I gasped in shock.

The woman in front of me was actually Zhang Qing!

Zhang Qing is the female president of Guancheng Group. She has a rather complicated social background and connections in both the legitimate and underworld circles.

At work, she is decisive and ruthless, and those behind the scenes secretly call her the "Big Demon King."

If you offend Zhang Qing, you're sure to end up in a bad situation.

"Li Cheng? You bastard, isn't this working time? What are you doing at the hotel?"

As Zhang Qing spoke, she quickly fastened her pants and stood up angrily from the toilet.

Seeing her furious expression, Li Cheng gritted his teeth and pretended to be calm, saying, "Sister Qing, I'm sorry, I had some friends over at noon and drank a little too much. My head is a bit foggy, and I didn't see that it was the women's restroom..."

As he spoke, Li Cheng glanced at Zhang Qing again.

Just then, Zhang Qing's bag fell to the ground, and something fell out of it—another adult-sized balloon!

Upon seeing the balloon, Li Cheng felt a surge of emotions.

Today must have been incredibly unlucky!

Could this great demon king be up to something?

It is understood that Zhang Qing's fiancé, Li Tao, apparently had some kind of accident a few years ago, in which he was seriously injured and has been unable to be a man since.

But why would there be balloons in Zhang Qing's bag?

Thinking of this, Li Cheng took out his phone, intending to secretly take a couple of pictures.

But the flash was forgotten to be turned off, and Zhang Qing quickly noticed...

Instantly, Zhang Qing flew into a rage: "Li Cheng? You bastard, what are you doing? Taking pictures of me without my permission, do you want to die?"

Li Cheng quickly put away his phone and said awkwardly, "Sister Qing, I'm sorry..."

"Sorry?" Zhang Qing was furious and yelled, "You ungrateful wretch, give me your phone! If you don't delete it, get out of Dongguan right now!"

Just then, a woman's voice rang out from outside the restroom.

"Qingqing? What happened?"

"Sister... nothing's wrong, why are you here?" Zhang Qing immediately panicked.

"I just heard you talking in the bathroom, and I thought something had happened," Zhang Qing's older sister, Zhang Li, said from outside.

"It's nothing, a cockroach just got into the toilet and gave me a fright."

Li Cheng looked at Zhang Qing, who then made a "shh" gesture.

"It's alright, big sister is coming in."

"Wait a minute!" Zhang Qing immediately tensed up.

If Zhang Li were to walk in like that and see Li Cheng and Zhang Qing in the restroom, there would definitely be no way to explain it clearly.

Li Cheng was extremely anxious. After calming down for a while, he looked up at the toilet.

Fortunately, there was a small window above the toilet.

Li Cheng leaned close to Zhang Qing's ear and whispered, "Sister Qing, if you don't want things to escalate, then try to stall your sister while I climb out the window."

Zhang Qing thought for a moment, nodded, and called out to the outside, "Big sister, please wait a moment, I'll be done soon."

Taking advantage of Zhang Qing's words, Li Cheng nimbly climbed onto the window, flipped over, and ran out of the women's restroom.
