Chapter 1317: The Story of Ling and Heng (580)
By the side, there were two daughters brought by an unknown CEO. They stood together and exclaimed when they saw the door. “Isn’t that… isn’t that… the one from the Li Corporation…”
The two young ladies walked over. Before Feng Ling could turn back, she heard the two girls talking excitedly about the rumors about XI Base.
Did little girls nowadays like this kind of man?
“Li Nanheng is here too?”
“It’s so rare. The Li family rarely appears in such occasions, especially Li Nanheng. He has just taken over the Li Corporation, so he doesn’t attend many events. It’s really rare to see him here…”
“Speaking of which, I’ve only met CEO Li once. It’s the one from Los Angeles…”
“The power and influence of the Li family cannot be underestimated, especially Li Nanheng, who has always been mysterious. It seems that he has a lot of projects in his hands, and he has a close relations.h.i.+p with s.h.i.+ne Group. Such a person can only be a friend. Once he becomes an enemy, you won’t be able to take it.”
“Then why did he suddenly come to such a small banquet…”
Listening to the discussions around her, Feng Ling expressionlessly turned to the other side and picked up a gla.s.s of wine from the red wine gla.s.s tower. This gla.s.s contained more wine than the ones on the long table next to her. Earlier, the gla.s.s was low, but here, there was almost half a gla.s.s.
At this moment, someone beside Li Nanheng suddenly said, “Mr. Li, it’s really rare to see you here. Nice to meet you!”
Someone else said, “I’ve always heard that Mr. Li rarely has any women around him. Could it be that he’s really abstinent? He even brought a male a.s.sistant to attend a banquet, but he didn’t even bring a female secretary with him…”
Forbidden desire?
Feng Ling expressionlessly raised her gla.s.s and drained it in one gulp.
Fortunately, not long after, the topic about Li Nanheng being abstinent was stopped by him.
Li Nanheng whispered a few words to his a.s.sistant, Yu Zheng, and then began to chat with the celebrities who came up to greet him. However, at this moment, the socialites who had appeared out of nowhere were all standing there, smiling as they listened to their conversation. It was as if they were very happy standing there as vases. Obviously, they were also very willing to be vases for Li Nanheng.
As expected, when she was in XI Base, she was in a different state. After leaving the base, she entered the business circle.
At the very least, there were too many women in this circle. No matter if it was a successful woman or a wealthy young lady or a business partner, Li Nanheng would never lack women.
However, he only had a male a.s.sistant by his side, causing the vases who were attracted to him to be unable to tell if he really had no interest in women or if… he had a problem with his s.e.xual orientation… They didn’t dare to be too arrogant and could only watch silently with a smile, observing silently and waiting for an opportunity to act.
Feng Ling quietly turned her head away to avoid being depressed, but when she turned around, she could hear a woman whispering, “I didn’t expect Li Nanheng to be so handsome. I thought a man who has been in the military base for so many years would be either big, stupid, or ugly. Anyway, I always thought he would be masculine, but I didn’t expect him to be so handsome…”
“This young master of the Li family rarely shows up in the past. I’ve never seen him before. I didn’t expect him to be so handsome…”
“I really want to chase…”
“Look at him bringing a male a.s.sistant with him to a simple dinner party. You should be able to tell that he really doesn’t keep women by his side. Do you want to chase after him? Do you think you can catch up to him? I’m afraid even if you go, you’ll only hit a wall!”
“That’s not necessarily true. What if he hasn’t met any suitable ones…”
Although Feng Ling was wary of CEO E, she was not afraid of attending the dinner party.
But now she really regretted it.
Perhaps she shouldn’t have come.
She decided to keep a low profile today and not let Li Nanheng see her.
Based on this man’s arrogant behavior, if he saw her here, he might do something to her. He didn’t bring a woman out because he only had one woman in his eyes for so many years. As the only woman, Feng Ling didn’t want this t.i.tle.
She came here today to talk about funding. If Li Nanheng was here, even if she opened her mouth, he would be able to shut her up with just one word. They already had a bet. If he went all out, she wouldn’t be able to get any funding.
Then what was the point of wasting time here? She might as well go to other places to make some money to make up a billion yuan.
At this thought, she put down the cup in her hand and turned to leave.
In the end, perhaps because she had walked too fast, she accidentally b.u.mped into CEO E who had come near her. CEO E’s wine gla.s.s was knocked over by her and splashed onto his suit. His gaze immediately changed and he raised his eyes to look at him. “You…”
“I’m sorry.” Feng Ling saw that CEO E was holding the wine gla.s.s very firmly. She shouldn’t have flipped it, but it had actually splashed all over his body. After a moment of confusion, she straightened her expression and gave him a standard apologetic look. “I left too quickly and didn’t see clearly. I’m sorry.”
CEO E looked at her and smiled. “I’m fine.”
“How about this, I’ll help you wipe it first.” Feng Ling picked up a piece of tissue from the table and wiped the wine stains on his s.h.i.+rt. “I’m really sorry, CEO E.”
“It’s all right.” CEO E took the piece of paper from her hand. At the same time, he casually held her hand and smiled at her. “My clothes are so dirty. Why don’t you accompany me to my room to change into a s.h.i.+rt, Miss Feng?”
Feng Ling withdrew her hand and looked up at CEO E’s eyes.
“I’m sorry, I didn’t do it on purpose, but CEO E still has to change his clothes…” She paused, remembering that she was in the business circle and couldn’t be too straightforward, so she simply said,” The bathroom is right by the side. Let me accompany you to clean up. ”
“How do I clean it?” CEO E lowered his head and shook the red wine stains on his s.h.i.+rt. “No matter how I clean this s.h.i.+rt, it’s already ruined. I can’t go in to wash it before wearing it. Why don’t I go back to my room to change? My secretary happens to be absent. Miss Feng, come with me.”
“Then… should I call your secretary for you?” Feng Ling still looked apologetic, but she had already taken a step back to maintain the distance she should have. Her eyes were cold and filled with disgust.
“No, you can accompany me.” CEO E reached out to hold her hand.
