Li Na rolled her eyes and shamelessly exposed her: "It's not that I don't trust you, but I don't trust your precious son. As far as I know, he's been gambling these days, and my two thousand yuan probably won't even be enough for him to eat."
"Is... is there such a thing?" Li Xiuli's face immediately showed a look of disappointment, realizing that she really couldn't keep the two thousand yuan. What if she softened and gave it to Li Chen again? Wouldn't it be wasted?
So, she reluctantly returned the two thousand yuan to Li Na and said, "If I need it, you must give me the money immediately, otherwise, we'll sever our mother-daughter relationship!
From now on, you'll raise the children yourselves. With such a burden, you won't be able to concentrate on your work. In the end, no one will benefit. Do you hear me?"
Facing Li Xiuli's threat, Li Na's expression turned grim. She nodded with a dark face, "Got it!"
After responding, she went back to her room to rest without looking back.
The next day, Li Na, who usually slept late, woke up exceptionally early. Before Li Xiuli could ask what was going on, she saw her hurriedly grab the boiled eggs from the table and rush towards the company.
Upon arriving at the president's office, she happened to run into the assistant who was coming out. She grabbed his clothes and said, "Assistant Wu, I have important news to report to President Qin!"
Assistant Wu's brows furrowed tightly. He said impatiently, "Even if the sky falls, you have to report to your superiors first!
The president is busy all day long. How can he have so much time to manage the affairs of you people at the bottom? Hurry back to your post. If it weren't for the fact that you were introduced by Miss Qin herself, I would send you to the HR department to resign right now!"
Hearing Assistant Wu's threat, Li Na's expression also became unhappy: "Assistant Wu, isn't President Qin troubled by Chen Lishu's matter these days?
The news I'm bringing today is related to Chen Lishu. You should hurry up and let me in. If you delay important matters, you won't be able to bear the responsibility!"
Just as the two were at a stalemate, the office door was suddenly opened, and Qin Lan walked out with a dark face.
"President."
"President."
The two quickly suppressed their hostility and greeted Qin Lan in unison.
Qin Lan gritted his teeth and questioned, "What are you two arguing about here? Do you think the office is too soundproof that I can't hear you?"
"It's all this woman in front of me. She insisted on making a scene here during work hours to see you. It's my work error that she disturbed you. I'll take her to the HR department to process her resignation now!"
Assistant Wu pursed his lips, knowing how terrifying Qin Lan could be when angry. He expressionlessly pushed all the blame onto Li Na.
Li Na's eyes widened in disbelief. If it weren't for Wu Zhong's relentless pursuit, why would they have argued?
However, now was not the time to shirk responsibility. She clearly felt that Qin Lan's anger had reached its peak. She wisely chose to state the purpose of her visit:
"President Qin, I have received the latest news about Chen Lishu's factory development, so I rushed over early this morning to convey this news to you. I apologize if I disturbed your work!"
As soon as she said this, Qin Lan's anger was instantly redirected. He looked Li Na up and down, his eyes flashing with complexity, and said, "Come in with me."
"Yes!" Li Na immediately followed Qin Lan into the president's office.
Upon entering the office, Qin Lan sat back in the president's chair. He crossed his legs high and leaned back lazily, saying, "Speak, what's going on?"
Li Na nodded, her lips curling upwards, revealing a fawning smile: "Before I tell you this news, let me congratulate you, President Qin, for getting what you wished for and finally being able to crush the fool who repeatedly provoked you under your feet!"
Qin Lan was indeed pleased by this remark, so he nodded, indicating for Li Na to continue.
Li Na slowly said, "Yesterday, I had dinner at Chen Lishu's house and accidentally learned that they are moving their factory, but they still have a lot of inventory.
President Qin, I have a bold idea: to buy all the sausages from Chen Lishu at the lowest possible price!"
Qin Lan nodded. However, considering the special relationship between Li Na and Chen Lishu, he did not immediately agree. Instead, he asked,
"How can you be sure that this news wasn't deliberately conveyed to you by her? Who knows if there's anything wrong with the sausages in her factory?!"
Li Na thought about this question carefully, then shook her head, her attitude very sincere: "If you're worried that the sausages in the factory have problems, I can spend some money and connections to get some from the production line for testing!
I don't think she needs to add harmful substances to the sausages. She has more than just sausages; she also has a clothing company.
If we decide to acquire the sausages, we will definitely sign a contract in black and white. If there are problems with the sausages, we can hold her responsible, and she'll lose all her assets and her reputation will be ruined!"
Qin Lan chuckled after hearing her analysis and said, "Your thinking is indeed quite flexible!"
Li Na smiled charmingly and said, "It's all thanks to your excellent guidance. I wouldn't dare to claim all the credit."
After the plan was formulated, Qin Lan acted swiftly and immediately arranged for people to visit Chen's Sausage Processing Plant again.

Meanwhile, at Chen Group, Chen Lishu was busy with her work when she saw Shen Wei run into the office with a smile.
"President Chen, you were right. The Qin Group has sent people over again, saying they want to discuss a cooperation with us. You've been so secretive for so many days, can you finally answer my doubts?"
Chen Lishu chuckled softly and slowly said, "It's a secret. You'll understand what I want to do within three days. Alright, since they've already arrived at the company, what are you waiting for? Hurry up and invite them in."
"Oh." Shen Wei didn't expect Chen Lishu to tell him her plans, as it was just a playful remark. After all, Chen Lishu was the boss. How could an employee question the boss's decisions?
Soon, Shen Wei arrived at the door as per Chen Lishu's request. Looking at the group of formally dressed staff members whose eyes were filled with disdain, he couldn't help but mutter, "Arrogant with power. Are they putting on an act now?"
