Ji Mushan couldn’t stand it anymore. Although he wanted to talk to Cheng Liu about something private, he didn’t expect her to change her attitude so quickly.

One second she was provoking and near-threatening him to cooperate, and the next second she was acting all honest, upright and sincere.

Ji Mushan had seen his fair share of cunning old foxes, but he had never seen anyone like Cheng Liu.

Her skin was too thick.

Judging from her current appearance, anyone would think she was a simple and easy-going young woman.

Who would have thought that her few casual words would expose the current predicament faced by Tianqi Auto?

How could Chaozhou fall in love with someone like that?

“I know about what happened between you and Chaozhou.” Ji Mushan suppressed his rising emotions. “So there are hidden dangers in the cooperation between Tianqi and Shenyin.”

Seeing that Cheng Liu did not speak, he continued, “Chaozhou is my son, and I will hand over all my shares in Tianqi to him in the future. If these shares end up in your hands again, I will be letting Tianqi Auto down.”

Ji Mushan feared that if Cheng Liu and Ji Chaozhou get together, they will eventually take over Tianqi Auto.

Cheng Liu remained silent, but Ji Mushan could vaguely see excitement on her face.

Ji Mushan frowned deeply, utterly puzzled.

“President Ji.” Cheng Liu suddenly stood up, the chair making a jarring sound on the floor.

Ji Mushan was startled and unconsciously backed away, thinking that Cheng Liu was angry.

Of course, Ji Mushan could understand the thoughts of young people. After all, he had been young once too, and he hated it when others speculated about him with dark thoughts and looked down on him. So he said in a deep voice, “Don’t think that…”

Before she could finish speaking, Cheng Liu grabbed one of Ji Mushan’s hands resting on the table, her expression moved, “I didn’t expect President Ji to think so highly of me.”

“What?” Ji Mushan was stunned by her series of actions and couldn’t understand what had happened.

Cheng Liu said a little embarrassedly, “So, in President Ji’s heart, I will become family with Chaozhou in the future.”

Ji Mushan withdrew his hand expressionlessly, “…” He said something harsh, and she came to this conclusion?

“President Ji, please rest assured. Although Chaozhou and I haven’t made any progress in our relationship yet, we will definitely get married in the future,” Cheng Liuchong said sincerely to Ji Mushan. “From now on, President Ji and I will be family.”

At this moment, Ji Mushan was overwhelmed with emotion and couldn’t describe his feelings at all. These feelings were even more complicated than when he found out that Cheng Liu had snatched his item at the auction and then given it to his son.

“Are you here to discuss cooperation?” Ji Mushan said with a dark face. “Sit back down.”

Cheng Liu sat down obediently, but muttered restlessly, “Okay, Dad.”

“What nonsense are you spouting? Don’t try to build a relationship with me.” Ji Mushan’s face twisted slightly, yet he couldn’t help but imagine Chaozhou calling him that so naturally and affectionately in the future, which made his feelings towards Cheng Liu more complicated than ever before.

Cheng Liu’s expression changed incredibly quickly. As soon as she sat down, she became the Young President of Shenyin Technology again, calmly saying, “To prevent the outflow of shares, you can make your own share allocation plan. This is President Ji’s private matter. But cooperating with Shenyin Technology is a good opportunity that Tianqi cannot miss. I believe President Ji should be able to figure out what is best for everyone.”

“…” Ji Mushan took a while to adjust before calming down. “What you said makes sense, but let’s stop here for today. Tianqi needs to hold an internal meeting to discuss this, and we will contact you later if there is any news.”

Cheng Liu nodded and said before leaving, “Shenyin Technology looks forward to cooperating with Tianqi Auto.”

After she left, Ji Mushan sighed, propping his head up with his hand. He knew she was formidable, but he never expected her to be so shameless.

“How did the talks go?” He Bai asked as he approached Cheng Liu when she came out.

When Ji Mushan mentioned personal reasons, he subconsciously understood that it might be because of the relationship between Ji Chaozhou and Cheng Liu.

“President Ji is still considering it and needs to discuss it in an internal meeting.” Cheng Liu rubbed her wrist as she walked into the elevator and casually said, “I’ll let you know when there’s any news.”

“Is it… because of President Ji’s son?” He Bai followed him into the elevator, and as the elevator doors closed, he finally couldn’t help but ask.

Cheng Liu turned to look at He Bai, “It has nothing to do with him, it’s my fault.”

He Bai looked down at the gleaming elevator floor, his emotions churning, and he couldn’t even bring himself to say it.

“We’ll definitely have to work on the contract with Tianqi.” Cheng Liu turned around, looking at the floor display on the elevator. The elevator doors opened, and she stepped out. “You should prepare more. Ji Mushan is more difficult to deal with than the previous business partners.”

He Bai followed her out, “Yes.”

Cheng Liu had always been focused on her work. Although there was now an important person in her life, she still kept her public and private life very separate.

On their way back to the company, Cheng Liu received a call from Cheng Gui.

“Sis, I passed the first round of written and oral exams. They told me I’ll be attending the second round of interviews tomorrow.” Cheng Gui was very happy on the other end of the phone.

Although the written and oral exams were not easy and there were multiple rounds, as long as he could get into this testing center, he would definitely be exposed to a lot of things in the future.

“Congratulations! Remember to treat me to a meal after you pass the interview,” Cheng Liu said to Cheng Gui on the other end of the phone from the back seat.

“Definitely.” Cheng Gui had already returned to Cheng Liu’s previous apartment, still holding the books he had taken out of his suitcase. “Sister, I’m going to study first.”

“Okay.” Before hanging up, Cheng Liu said a few more words to Cheng Gui, “If you can get to the final interview, when you answer questions, if you don’t know, just say you don’t know, don’t say too much.”

The director of the food testing institute would be present at the final interview. She had studied the other party and they only liked sincere people who focused on their work.

Although Cheng Liu felt that Cheng Gui fully met the other party’s requirements,  there was no guarantee that Cheng Gui wouldn’t try to change himself during the interview.

Cheng Gui agreed, “Sister, I understand.”
