Chapter 210 Jealous? [4th update, asking for monthly votes]

"If it really comes to that, Director Wu, you must plan this well for us," Mr. Li said.

"Of course," Director Wu replied with a smile.

"Thank you, Director Wu. However, when it comes to charity, I still prefer to keep a low profile. You just focus on planning well for Mr. Li," Liu Jiayao said.

"Sister Liu, that mindset isn't right. It's not about being high-profile or low-profile; it's that an individual's power is ultimately limited. Through Director Wu's planning and strong promotion, we aim to draw more people's attention and importance to charitable causes, thus attracting more people to participate," Mr. Li said earnestly.

Mr. Li has a good heart indeed. Society lacks entrepreneurs like him," said the woman, who looked innocent and sweet, her eyes openly admiring as she looked at Mr. Li and spoke in a tender voice.

"I do agree with Mr. Li on this, but it's just my nature; I apologize," Liu Jiayao's expression grew serious upon hearing this, and her gaze towards Mr. Li changed slightly.

"Well, that's true, personalities are hard to define clearly. However, I really admire you, Sister Liu. Let's find a time to have tea together, talk about charity, and discuss cooperation on cosmetics," Mr. Li said.

"Yes, if Mr. Li and Sister Liu get together, there will definitely be a lot of common topics. How about this young man, let's give Mr. Li and Sister Liu a chance today? You come with me; I have two beauties with me," Director Wu, obviously a very shrewd person, knew of Mr. Li's interest in Sister Liu and jokingly proposed.

"Director Wu, there's a hint of making up in quantity what you lack in quality with those words. Be careful, those beauties might not pay attention to their leader in the future," Mr. Li laughed.

"How could that be? We can't compare with Sister Liu. Sister Liu is beautiful, has a great temperament, and is also a company president," spoke the sweet-looking woman again. Her voice was pleasant and flattering, comforting to hear, yet her eyes briefly flashed with envy and disappointment.

The woman dressed in a revealing, fiery manner seemed somewhat silent, not as wild as she appeared.

"Qianqian is being modest, but I really would like to find an opportunity to talk to Sister Liu. They say there's no time like the present, I wonder if this young man could give me that opportunity?" Mr. Li said with a smile.

It must be said that Mr. Li's actions and demeanor were very appropriate. Moreover, being handsome and tall, it was very difficult for anyone to feel rejection or disgust towards him.

At least women definitely found it difficult to refuse or feel aversion towards such a man.

"I'm sorry, but Sister Liu and I happen to have matters to discuss. Why don't you schedule another time with her?" Ge Dongxu found it hard to feel any goodwill towards Mr. Li, especially seeing the ulterior motives towards Liu Jiayao hidden under his hypocritical smile. Ge Dongxu didn't wait for Liu Jiayao to speak and took the initiative.

Liu Jiayao was momentarily stunned upon hearing this, then her beautiful eyebrows bent down, and her lips curled into a happy smile.

Mr. Li hadn't taken Ge Dongxu seriously, thinking he wouldn't dare to interrupt. However, he unexpectedly helped Liu Jiayao decline, repeatedly calling her "Sister Liu," which annoyed Mr. Li.

But being a cunning man, he didn't show it, instead, he gave Ge Dongxu a fierce warning look behind Liu Jiayao's back, then quickly returned to smiling at her.

Clearly, he didn't think Ge Dongxu had the authority to decide this matter! Everything still depended on Liu Jiayao.

Indeed, neither in attire nor age did Ge Dongxu seem qualified to make decisions for Liu Jiayao.

Although Liu Jiayao did not see the fierce glare Mr. Li secretly gave Ge Dongxu, Mr. Li's arrogant demeanor, which completely disrespected and disregarded Ge Dongxu, still greatly annoyed Liu Jiayao.

However, since Mr. Li hadn't been rude, she couldn't justly show her displeasure visibly; she only frowned slightly and said indifferently, "I apologize Mr. Li, but as you see, Dongxu and I rarely get to share a meal together. If you really have something you wish to discuss, please visit our company another day."

Upon hearing this, a glint of sinister intent flashed in Mr. Li's eyes, but his face bore a genteel smile as he replied, "Very well, I'll visit another time then and won't disturb you two any further."

After he spoke, Mr. Li cast a sharp glance at Ge Dongxu without a word.

Seeing Liu Jiayao's clear disapproval of his suggestion, Wu Longcai felt somewhat embarrassed. He chuckled and greeted Liu Jiayao, then nodded at Ge Dongxu before following Mr. Li and the others to his reserved spot.

However, as he nodded at Ge Dongxu, confusion flicked through Wu Longcai's eyes; he just couldn't see anything special about Ge Dongxu. He was also sure that Ge Dongxu was definitely not one of the wealthy or official second generations from the Provincial Capital's upper class.

Being a part of that circle himself, and working at a television station with extensive social connections, there were hardly any people in the Provincial Capital's elite circles that Wu Longcai did not know.

"Director Wu, you have a wide network. Have you ever seen that young man before?" Once they found their seats, Mr. Li inquired.

"He seems unfamiliar. Since he's not one of the students previously sponsored by Liu Jiayao and he calls her sister, nine out of ten, he must be a relative from her hometown, or someone from the same village. I heard that Liu Jiayao's father came from an impoverished mountain area. These days, no one pays attention to poor relatives and they hardly ever visit, but rich relatives, no matter how far away, always have people thinking of and visiting them," Wu Longcai pondered and responded.

"I think so too, absolutely no tact. Mr. Li was talking to Ms. Liu, and he had no business butting in," remarked Qianqian, who appeared pure and sweet, her face showing disdain.

"After all, he hasn't seen much of the world! It's understandable. Alright, let's grab some food," Mr. Li dismissively sneered and then stared at Qianqian's chest with a smile.

Qianqian, albeit dressed conservatively and looking pure and sweet, did have a rather prominent chest.

When Qianqian noticed Mr. Li staring at her chest, a gleam of secret delight flashed in her eyes, but she modestly pulled her clothes a bit closer together.

She was smart, aware that for a man like Mr. Li, surrounded by women, throwing herself at him would certainly not make him value her. Rather, acting demure might pique his interest more.

Indeed, when Qianqian slightly adjusted her clothes, Mr. Li's smiling gaze turned intensely warm.

...

"Sister Liu, that Mr. Li from earlier, he's not a good man, don't be fooled by his facade or his so-called philanthropy. Keep your distance from him in the future," Ge Dongxu sternly advised after Mr. Li and others had left.

"Hehe, what's the matter, are you jealous? Worried about someone stealing your sister? Seeing how eager you were to answer just now, were you afraid I'd agree to it on the spot?" Liu Jiayao, looking at the stern-faced Ge Dongxu, laughed, her eyes curving into crescents.
