Li Hanchen called Auntie Lin over after wiping Mu Sheng’s face. “Remove these dishes.”
Auntie Lin was surprised. “Young Master, was there any problem with my cooking?”
Li Hanchen glanced at Mu Sheng. “From now on, I want to eat lighter food.”
“Okay. Sure.” Auntie Lin glanced at the dishes in front of Mu Sheng and felt even Li Hanchen’s food preference had changed for Mu Sheng.
Auntie Lin removed all the spicy dishes on the table. Li Hanchen moved closer to Mu Sheng and slowly peeled prawns for her.
“Mu Sheng,” said Li Hanchen suddenly.
“Huh?” Mu Sheng was eating rice. She turned around with her cheeks full and a quizzical look on her face.
Li Hanchen glanced at her. “Never mind. Go on eating.”
Mu Sheng went quiet. Li Hanchen was acting funny again. Since the food tasted good, Mu Sheng disregarded Li Hanchen and finished the food before long.
Li Hanchen ate some lightly cooked vegetables with his eyes lowered and concealed the emotions running through his eyes. After walking in the darkness on his own for so long, he finally found a ray of light, so he was going to make her stay with him regardless of what it took.
At Li Group, Li Ming was sitting in front of the desk angrily. The employees stood in front of him with their heads lowered.
“I spent so much money on you all year. What do you think I was paying you for? Free meals? I told you I want to know what Li Hanchen does for a living.”
“Mr. Li, we have investigated this, but the outcome seems a little unreal.”
In the end, Li Ming’s assistant stepped up and quietly handed Li Ming a document. Li Ming picked up the document and the words “Flourishing Age Group” promptly caught his attention.
“Flourishing Age Group? Does Li Hanchen have something to do with Flourishing Age Group?”
“That’s right, Mr. Li. According to our sources, Li Hanchen has appeared in Flourishing Age Group before. However, he doesn’t show up often, so he probably only holds a sinecure.”
It never crossed anyone’s mind that Li Hanchen could be CEO of Flourishing Age Group. After all, it was an insurmountable feat to become CEO of the company.
Li Ming naturally felt the same way. Li Hanchen only held a title in Flourishing Age Group from pulling connections. “No wonder he could afford that villa of his. It seems he has found himself a backer. Keep investigating. Find out who his backer is.”
“Yes, Mr. Li,” answered his employees in unison.
Meanwhile, Qin Kai had already received news about Li Ming’s investigation at Flourishing Age Group. He adjusted his spectacles and said, “If they want to investigate his background, then feed him a background.”
Li Ming received the news before long. He scoffed the moment he heard it, “How could someone like Li Hanchen be placed in an important position in Flourishing Age Group? I always thought Flourishing Age Group was a powerful company, but it seems they have really questionable judgment.”
According to the investigation report, Li Hanchen encountered the CEO of Flourishing Age Group in Continent M, left a good impression, and was given a high position.
“Find out what projects Li Hanchen is in charge of and ruin them.”
Li Ming narrowed his eyes as he looked at the investigation report.
Was Li Hanchen placed in a high position? This made Li Ming recall the way Li Hanchen looked when everyone surrounded him fawningly in the past. It felt as though Li Hanchen was a natural leader and born to receive such respect.
Li Ming had not lived under Li Hanchen’s shadow in over a decade, but the sensation inexplicably returned.
Li Ming shook his head and threw those thoughts out of his mind.
This was impossible! He had already trampled Li Hanchen under his feet a decade ago. Now, he was certainly not going to let Li Hanchen rise above him.
