My Beautiful CEO.

After thinking for a moment, Li Cheng immediately understood that they must think he was very rich and wanted to use Yang Tao to get some money out of him.

Since that's the case, Li Cheng decided to play along.

"Tell me, even if Yang Tao stole the necklace, how do you plan to handle this now that you've come to me?" Li Cheng asked calmly.

"Oh my, Mr. Lu is so generous! Yang Tao, you don't know how lucky you are! You've snagged such a good man!" Ah Yan's eyes revealed envy, wishing she could replace Yang Tao immediately.

Yang Tao didn't say anything, but her eyes were filled with a kind of resentment. She waved her hand wearily and said, "Forget it, I'm too lazy to argue with you. You can decide what to do!"

Scarface smacked his lips and said in a sinister tone, "What do you mean, 'handle it as you see fit'? Isn't Boss Lu right here? With him around, can't we solve all the problems?"

“Scarface, then calculate how much compensation is needed in this matter concerning Yang Tao?” Li Cheng asked calmly.

"The customer asked for 38,000 for a necklace. Besides, we can't break the rules of the foot massage parlor, so let's round it up to 60,000. That's not too much, is it?" Scarface grinned and stretched out his hand to Li Cheng.

Li Cheng knew Scarface was ripping him off, but he was helpless at this point. So he said to Scarface, "Fine, sixty thousand it is! But you didn't make it clear on the phone, and when I came here, I didn't know it was about money..."

Scarface quickly laughed and said, "Boss Lu, that's easy. Didn't we have 200,000 before? Add the 60,000 now, and it's 260,000 in total. Again, we just need to sign an agreement!"

Ah Yan hurriedly went to get the agreement, then deliberately moved closer to Li Cheng, showing off her white thighs and rubbing against him, saying, "Boss Lu, you're so generous! You're not stingy at all when it comes to money!"

Li Cheng ignored him, signed the papers, and said coldly, "Now, can I take Yang Tao away?"

Scarface flicked his finger lightly across the agreement and chuckled, "Of course! But Mr. Lu, our agreement has a time limit. If you think about it, there aren't many days left. Let's pay the 260,000 all at once then!"

"Don't worry, you won't be shortchanged by a single penny!" Li Cheng said calmly.

"Of course, such a small amount of money is nothing to Boss Lu!" Scarface chuckled and reached out to shake hands with Li Cheng, but he didn't forget to add a threat, "If we don't receive the money by then, you know what we mean, Boss Lu!"

“Scarface, do you think I’m short of money? You should show me some sincerity first. If Sun Xue is alright these days, I’ll consider giving you more money!” Li Cheng said shamelessly.

"Really? That's great! Boss Lu is a true friend! Ah Yan, go see Boss Lu off!" Scarface looked excited.

Ayan immediately wiggled her little bottom to see Li Cheng out. When they reached the door, she deliberately rubbed her whole body against Li Cheng and said in a coquettish voice, "Boss Lu, come and visit often when you have time. Besides Yangtao, you can also come to see me!"

"Alright, it depends on my mood. You can leave now." Considering that Yang Tao was still working here, Li Cheng suppressed his temper and, not wanting to offend Ayan, nodded and said.

"See you later, Mr. Lu!" Ah Yan left happily after receiving Li Cheng's promise.

Once outside, Yang Tao took out a cigarette to smoke, but Li Cheng snatched it away. Yang Tao glared at Li Cheng.

Li Cheng scolded, "Yang Tao, you're a woman, you shouldn't smoke all the time, it's not good for you."

Yang Tao asked Li Cheng, feeling very wronged, "Don't you even believe me? Do you think I stole the necklace?"

Li Cheng shook his head and said, "I definitely believe you. Otherwise, would I have agreed to give them another 60,000?"

"Then how can you sign it? It was clearly that bitch Ayan who framed me!" Yang Tao said angrily.

“I know! I’ve thought about it, and I can help you get justice!” Li Cheng said.

"How can I seek justice? I think you should just leave me alone and let me fend for myself!" Yang Tao became somewhat resigned to her fate.

“Give me Ayan’s contact information, and I’ll have a plan,” Li Cheng said.

Yang Tao was very puzzled and asked, "Why did you contact her?"

"Don't ask anymore, you'll find out when the time comes!" Li Cheng replied.

Yang Tao nodded, immediately gave Li Cheng and A Yan's WeChat, and then said quietly, "Li Cheng, that's 260,000 yuan! You really shouldn't have signed with them. They're blatantly extorting you. Can't you see that? They're just using our relationship to deliberately swindle money!"

Li Cheng knew this, of course, but what could he do? If he didn't do that, Yang Tao probably wouldn't have survived! Her current situation was indeed difficult enough.

"Yang Tao, as long as you promise me that you will keep yourself pure no matter where you are, that little bit of money is nothing to me! Don't worry about it!" Li Cheng said, forcing himself to speak.

"Li Cheng, you're so rich, why don't you give them the money sooner? Otherwise, things might get complicated!" Yang Tao said, frowning.

“Not now, the company is in a rush, all the funds are tied up in goods, but it’s okay, we’ll be fine in a few more days! Don’t worry about it! How about I book a hotel for you to rest today?” Li Cheng said.

"Okay, thank you, Li Cheng!" Yang Tao came over, gently hugged Li Cheng, and kissed him on the forehead repeatedly.

Li Cheng was somewhat tempted. He touched her face, then found a nice hotel, booked a room for her, and then took a car back.

On the way, Li Cheng called Skinny Monkey: "Is General Manager Zhang in the company?"

The skinny monkey said, "I'm here! We were just in a meeting."

Li Cheng nodded and said, "Wait for me at the company entrance, I need to talk to you."

When I arrived at the company, Skinny Monkey was already waiting at the entrance.

Li Cheng asked, "Skinny Monkey, how much money do you have right now? I need it urgently."

Skinny Monkey pulled a bank card from his pocket, scratched his head, and said, "Not much, only 30,000 yuan in the card, is that enough?"

"Okay, I'll borrow it for now, you go ahead and do your work!" Li Cheng patted the skinny monkey on the shoulder.

"Boss, something's not right with you. What's going on? Don't hide it from me!" Skinny Monkey looked at Li Cheng suspiciously.

Li Cheng waved his hand and said with a smile, "You're overthinking it, it's nothing."

"Alright, I'm off to work now. Call me if you need anything." Skinny Monkey said and left.

Afterwards, Li Cheng also went to the company, arrived at Zhang Qing's office, knocked on the door, but Zhang Qing did not come out to open it.

Li Cheng quietly went inside, found no one there, secretly took a car key from her desk, and slipped away.

While driving Zhang Qing's car, Li Cheng sent a friend request to Ayan on WeChat.

This is the only good way to save Yang Tao! Li Cheng has made up his mind. He can't just sit and wait to die. He must find a breakthrough with A Yan and then truly rescue Yang Tao from this hellhole.

Because Li Cheng's photo was on WeChat, Ayan quickly accepted Li Cheng's friend request.
