Time flew by, and half a month had passed in the blink of an eye.
That afternoon, as Ming Li walked out of the examination hall, her phone, which was in her bag, began to ring. She took it out and saw that it was Qin Yue calling.
Ming Li walked to a secluded spot and answered the phone.
A deep, pleasant voice came from the other end of the line. "Miss Jiang, do you have time now?"
Ming Li: "Yes. What is it?"
Qin Yue on the other end: "...?! What is it? Big sister, have you forgotten about the company acquisition you asked me to handle half a month ago? Are you really that forgetful?!"
Qin Yue resisted the urge to twitch his lips and said to Ming Li, "About the matter you asked me to handle last time, let's find a place to talk."
Ming Li thought for a moment and gave a faint "Mm" to Qin Yue on the phone. "Mm, send me the address." Then she hung up.
Qin Yue, who was about to say something: "...?!" Listening to the beeping sound from the phone, the corners of his mouth twitched fiercely. "Big sister, is it really okay to hang up without letting people finish their sentences? You'll easily lose friends this way, I'm telling you!"
Meanwhile, Ming Li was walking out of the school.
When she reached the school gate, her phone buzzed. Ming Li looked at it and saw that it was the address Qin Yue had sent. Ming Li put her phone away and headed towards the address on her phone.
Ming Li entered a coffee shop and went up to the second floor, where she saw Qin Yue sitting by the window.
Ming Li walked over unhurriedly, sat down in front of Qin Yue, and said calmly, "Is the money not enough? I'll transfer it to you now."
Qin Yue: "...?!" The corner of his mouth twitched slightly. Is it really okay to talk about money right after sitting down?
Qin Yue thought about the balance remaining in the bank card Ming Li had given him last time, and his mouth twitched again. "Miss Jiang, it's not about the money. The matter you asked me to handle last time has been completed. All you need to do now is sign it." With that, Qin Yue handed a document to Ming Li.
Ming Li took the document and opened it. Her gaze quickly swept over it, and she found nothing amiss. After signing, Ming Li handed the document back to Qin Yue and then said to him, "Ten million annual salary. You will be the acting chairman."
Qin Yue: "...?!" He was stunned. What did that mean?
Seeing the bewildered look on his face, Ming Li frowned and repeated what she had just said.
Qin Yue came back to his senses and said to Ming Li with a slightly strange expression, "Miss Jiang, are you serious?"
Ming Li: "Of course."
"Aren't you afraid I'll abscond with your money and run away?" Qin Yue asked.
Ming Li's beautiful eyes dimmed slightly. Suddenly, a dangerous smile curled her lips, and her tone was somewhat chilling. "If you do that, you'll die a horrible death!" kanshuw.xā
System: "...?!" Host, can you go easy on us! Don't be so ferocious, okay?!
Qin Yue: "...?!" When he met those unfathomable eyes, his body inexplicably trembled, and he felt a chill down his spine.
Ming Li discussed the next steps with Qin Yue, and then they parted ways.
Ming Li left the coffee shop and, at the system's earnest request, went to a nearby bus stop.
Ming Li's tone was extremely displeased. "Why did you make me come here?"
System: "Host, we need to be low-key. Why don't you fly your sword back? It wouldn't be good if someone saw it. Taking the bus is good! It's economical and environmentally friendly!" the system said weakly.
Ming Li: "...?!"
