Chapter 988: I’m Just Asking for Leave on Li Xiaoyun’s Behalf

Sponsored

"The collaboration won’t go anywhere, contacting tomorrow is the same." Zhao Dingli wrapped one arm around her shoulder, gripping the other end, while the other hand directly supported Li Xiaoyun at his side, leading her towards the business department.

The business card Li Xiaoyun gave had the exact location of the business department written on it.

Therefore, Zhao Dingli could accurately find the location of the business department when he arrived.

And directly came to the stairwell of the floor where the business department is.

He thought about it, although he didn’t know exactly which floor Zheng Xuelin would take Li Xiaoyun to the stairwell.

But surely the proximity principle won’t be wrong.

If the stairwell on this floor of the business department isn’t the one, he would search one floor at a time until he found Li Xiaoyun.

So, at this moment, Zhao Dingli directly took Li Xiaoyun back to the business department.

Without needing directions from Li Xiaoyun.

However, at this time, Li Xiaoyun was in shock and forgot about the need to give directions.

She let Zhao Dingli lead her back to the business department.

Meanwhile, Lin Lingli and others were following behind at a distance of about two people, trailing Zhao Dingli and Li Xiaoyun.

Watching in shock ahead, Zhao Dingli was still supporting Li Xiaoyun.

The mannerism between the two appeared extraordinarily intimate.

Zhou Yunyun tilted her head towards Lin Lingli, blinking and signaling silently, asking her what exactly was happening.

But Lin Lingli didn’t understand either and could only shrug to Zhou Yunyun, indicating she didn’t know.

They divided into four teams.

In front of them were Zhao Dingli and Li Xiaoyun.

Following behind were Lin Lingli and Zhou Yunyun.

Behind Lin Lingli and Zhou Yunyun were Brother Chen and Sister Li.

And at the very rear were Zheng Xuelin, Zhou Chuanwu, and Wang Honglin.

Zhou Chuanwu and Wang Honglin looked nervously at Zheng Xuelin.

They knew Zheng Xuelin was looking for Li Xiaoyun.

Because during lunch, Zheng Xuelin was increasingly dissatisfied.

He had told them he would make Li Xiaoyun suffer.

Would make Li Xiaoyun obediently return the business to him, and would make Li Xiaoyun listen to him in the future.

After saying those things, Zheng Xuelin tossed out the words about finding Li Xiaoyun, and then he left.

So, they knew Zheng Xuelin was going to find Li Xiaoyun.

But didn’t know how to speak with Li Xiaoyun.

They even guessed whether Zheng Xuelin actually had some dirt on Li Xiaoyun.

They were guessing this, yet who knew Zheng Xuelin’s method would be so straightforward.

Now with Zhao Dingli here, Zhou Chuanwu and Wang Honglin didn’t dare to say much, only worriedly glancing at Zheng Xuelin.

Seeing Zheng Xuelin with a solemn face, not knowing what he was thinking.

President Lin and Manager Tang originally had lunch together, mainly discussing Zheng Xuelin and Rui Shi and Changlin’s collaboration.

Unexpectedly, they heard gossip in the company that Zhao Dingli had come.

The two exchanged shocked glances.

How could they not know Zhao Dingli had come to the company?

And they hadn’t heard Rui Changhuai mention it either.

The two found it unbelievable, even suspected if it was a rumor, and the news had mistakes.

After specifically asking around with employees, they learned it was true, they had witnessed Zhao Dingli come.

Moreover, he even rushed directly into the company.

The two were stunned.

Yet Zhao Dingli came but didn’t approach their company president or President Lin.

Where else could he go?

Out of nowhere, Manager Tang thought of Li Xiaoyun.

Originally she found it strange why Rui Changhuai came to the company in the morning.

He seemed prepared long in advance, genuinely wanting Li Xiaoyun to be in charge of both sides of the collaboration.

However, back then, she secretly guessed if Li Xiaoyun knew Rui Changhuai.

It wasn’t that Manager Tang’s imagination fell short, she simply hadn’t thought about Zhao Dingli.

Aside from Zhao Dingli’s exceedingly high status, Manager Tang never thought normal people could relate to Zhao Dingli.

Even disregarding such positional distance, the age gap between Zhao Dingli and Li Xiaoyun was indeed quite significant.

Exaggerated as father and daughter, but Zhao Dingli’s age was enough for Li Xiaoyun to call him uncle.

Therefore, Manager Tang simply never dared to consider it.

Moreover, Rui Changhuai as Zhao Dingli’s assistant was already highly accomplished.

For connecting Rui Changhuai with Li Xiaoyun, Manager Tang felt her imagination was large enough.

But now Manager Tang realized the imagination wasn’t expansive enough.

She vaguely sensed Zhao Dingli came to the company likely for Li Xiaoyun.

And President Lin said, "President Zhao is here, we can’t not greet him. Where is he now?"

Manager Tang: "..."

She guessed, perhaps at the business department?

"But why did Zhao Dingli suddenly come?" President Lin wondered, also asking the employee beside him, "Did he come alone?"

"When we saw him downstairs, indeed, he was by himself," the employee replied.

"And where is he now? You didn’t see?" President Lin inquired again.

The employee shook his head dejectedly: "President Zhao stormed too quickly, and we also didn’t dare to follow."

"Because at the time, President Zhao’s expression was genuinely terrifying, dark and scary, we didn’t know what angered him." The employee said, recalling it still sent chills down his spine.

"At that moment, while observing, we were frightened to the point we didn’t dare breathe, let alone follow."

To describe it, President Zhao’s presence was overwhelming.

Not just President Lin, even a hundred Ri Shi’s presidents could not compare.

At this moment, Manager Tang’s phone rang.

It was an unknown number, Manager Tang answered: "Hello."

"Manager Tang? It’s me, Zhao Dingli." Zhao Dingli’s voice came through, scaring Manager Tang almost dropping her phone.

"President Zhao!" Manager Tang quickly called.

Manager Tang’s voice caught President Lin’s attention.

"Zhao Dingli?" President Lin silently mouthed to Manager Tang.

Manager Tang immediately nodded.

President Lin was completely astonished.

With Zhao Dingli here, him being a general manager was evidently insufficient.

But the president wasn’t around recently, away on business.

President Lin was somewhat troubled.

"President Zhao, I heard from employees you’ve come to Ri Shi? May I know where you are now?" Manager Tang promptly asked.

President Lin vigorously nodded on the side.

"I’m at the business department." Zhao Dingli replied.

Manager Tang inhaled sharply.

This response from Zhao Dingli clearly confirmed her earlier suspicion.

Zhao Dingli really is at the business department!

So, was he really here for Li Xiaoyun?

"Please wait a moment, we’ll come right over." Manager Tang said, quickly adding, "President Lin and I."

"I just wanted to excuse Li Xiaoyun with you." Zhao Dingli stated.

Manager Tang now was completely certain.

Indeed, Zhao Dingli came for Li Xiaoyun.
