Chapter 260: Eavesdropping in the Restaurant
A few days later, Mother Wu, accompanied by Wu Mei and Li Nanchen, returned to the Wu Corporation to settle some work.
As they talked about work in the office, Wu Mei received a message from her assistant.
He saw Wu Pang.
Wu Mei quietly put down her phone and couldn’t help but look at Mother Wu who was drinking tea as she thought of an excuse to leave.
Li Nanchen saw through her thoughts and held her hand. He smiled and said, “I’m a little hungry. Can you go with me to buy some food?”
“You…?” Wu Mei did not expect him to find such a reason.
Mother Wu put down her teacup and looked at the bodyguards at the door. She smiled and said, “I’m fine. Go take a walk. Come and pick me up later.”
“Thank you, Auntie.” Li Nanchen held Wu Mei’s hand as they walked out of the office.
Mother Wu watched them leave together and said emotionally, “That’s great.”
Wu Mei walked out of the office. When she saw her assistant waiting for her, her face fell. “Keep talking.”
The assistant greeted Li Nanchen before continuing to speak to Wu Mei. “President Wu is meeting with a few of the company’s supervisors in the parking lot. It seems like he’s doing business.”
“I heard that Madam Yang Shan also came to the company and asked a shareholder’s wife out for a meal and shopping. She asked about the company.”
Wu Mei knew that they wouldn’t give up, but she didn’t expect them to be so brazen.
She said, “It’s been hard on you. I’ll have to trouble you to keep an eye on the company. We’ll take care of Wu Pang’s matters as soon as possible.”
“Okay!” The assistant agreed.
All of a sudden, Li Nanchen said, “I haven’t heard about Ms Mo Li in a long time.”
Wu Mei was stunned. She elbowed Li Nanchen and asked in confusion, “What’s wrong? You want to see her?”
Li Nanchen replied in a low voice, “There’s been no news of her. Aren’t you curious?”
Wu Mei felt that she had not seen this new shareholder for a long time.
The assistant also said, “Ms Mo Li hasn’t been to the company in a long time.”
Their conversation was interrupted by the ringtone of Wu Mei’s phone. When Li Nanchen realized it was K calling her, his expression did not look too good.
The assistant found an excuse to leave.
Li Nanchen snatched the phone over. His voice was slightly cold as he said, “You can talk to me if there’s anything.”
Wu Mei didn’t have the time to stop him and she felt a huge headache at his actions.
K didn’t expect Wu Mei and Li Nanchen to be so intimate. They are actually together?
“I want to meet with Wu Mei,” he said indifferently.
Just as Li Nanchen was about to turn him down, K continued, “It’s about the Wu Corporation.”
It’s about the Wu Corporation?
Wu Mei and Li Nanchen exchanged glances, their eyes filled with surprise.
“Okay, we will turn up. Arrange the meeting time and place.” Li Nanchen took a deep breath.
The temperature suddenly dropped to a freezing point. Li Nanchen and K could feel each other’s hostility.
Li Nanchen thought that K would not agree, but K still compromised.
K said helplessly, “I’ll text her the time and place.”
The phone went dead.
Wu Mei snatched the phone back and grumbled to Li Nanchen, “You’re too much.”
“But why did K agree to meet us?”
She couldn’t believe that K had agreed to Li Nanchen’s request.
Li Nanchen’s expression darkened. He whispered into Wu Mei’s ear, “There should be a mission.”
They soon received K’s message and came to a high-end restaurant based on the address.
They sat across from K, who had chosen a particularly secluded spot which was difficult for other guests to notice.
K held his coffee and looked at them. “You two are so inseparable,” he commented.
He reminded Wu Mei again, “Can he… know about the Wu Corporation’s affairs?”
Wu Mei felt that K was trying to sow discord between her and Li Nanchen.
K didn’t waste any more time and gave each of them an earpiece.
Wu Mei put on her headphones in confusion and heard Yang Shan’s voice. She looked at K in shock.
K’s eyes turned cold as he said sarcastically, “If you aren’t going to cover up for them, this will be your chance to make a contribution.”
Wu Mei glared at K angrily but didn’t retaliate because she knew that K wouldn’t target Yang Shan for no reason.
She began to listen attentively to the conversation between Yang Shan and the other ladies. The more she listened, the more shocked she became. She instinctively held Li Nanchen’s hand.
“I’m especially grateful to Ms Mo Li. Without her help, my husband wouldn’t have had the funds to fill the void so quickly.”
“That bitch Wu Mei… She won’t succeed.”
The other ladies echoed Yang Shan’s words but also reminded Yang Shan, “Madam Wu, you and President Wu have to do your job well. We will earn big bucks together.”
Wu Mei guessed that they were accomplices, and the source of the funds was definitely not normal.
“Ms Mo Li promised my husband that she would transfer her shares to him. We can work together to deal with Wu Mei…” Yang Shan was trying to make use of socializing with the other wives.
One of the madams interrupted Yang Shan and said coldly, “Madam Wu, if you want to deal with Wu Mei, you have to deal with the Li Corporation behind her first. Can you do that? Don’t pursue a goal that’s impossible at the moment.”
“Madam Wu, you and President Wu should prepare for tomorrow night’s business deal. If you lose even a single good, we will all lose our lives.”
Yang Shan lowered her voice and said in a fawning tone, “Don’t worry, everything has been arranged.”
Goods?
Tomorrow night?
Wu Mei and Li Nanchen looked at each other and had a speculation in their hearts
