Chapter 119: Chapter 119 Begging President Li

"Pfft!" Miao Xuanxuan suddenly laughed at this moment, her gaze turning towards Li Sijie.

Li Sijie immediately knew why Miao Xuanxuan had laughed, her face turning even redder, as she quickly said, "With the situation just now, I really couldn’t explain anything, and that Chen Zixu was just there hogging the conversation. I didn’t even have a chance to explain."

Miao Xuanxuan giggled coyly again and said, "There’s nothing to it, really. If he misunderstood, then let him misunderstand. After all, it saved us from so much trouble later."

"But with such a misunderstanding, I might have benefited, but if it affects Xiaodong’s dating life later on, that would really be awful."

Miao Xuanxuan pouted and said, "What do you mean you benefited? It’s him who benefited! A rich and beautiful woman like President Li, being with you, it’s like he’s got both wealth and looks."

Li Sijie glared at Miao Xuanxuan and scolded, "Nonsense, I am a divorced woman, and Xiaodong is still a young man. I can’t tarnish his reputation."

Miao Xuanxuan chuckled and said, "I’m talking about Song Xiaodong, tell me, do you want to carry this pot or not?"

Song Xiaodong laughed heartily and said, "Of course, I do."

"You two... are really taking me for a ride," Li Sijie said, her mood significantly improved, a smile spreading across her face.

Just then, Li Sijie’s phone rang; it was Manager Li Youliang who had come in the morning. He started off by apologizing profusely to Li Sijie and then said he would be right over to sign the contract with her.

It wasn’t even twenty minutes before Li Youliang hurried over, his forehead covered with sweat. As soon as he entered, he bowed deeply to Li Sijie and said, "President Li, I’m sorry, truly sorry, it was all my fault, I was confused. In consideration of a friend’s face, I decided to let them have the hall, made the decision behind your back, and tried to force you to leave. Young Master Chen has already severely reprimanded me."

Song Xiaodong couldn’t help but smirk; it seemed Chen Zixu was terrified that the blame would fall on him, and had sent Chen Youliang to take the fall.

Li Sijie, meanwhile, was a little flustered. The first time she came, Chen Youliang had been so fierce, but now he was like a little lamb, a complete turnaround.

Seeing Li Sijie not speaking and with a face as bitter as a gourd, Chen Youliang said, "President Li, I know my actions upset you, you can hit me or yell at me, anything, as long as it makes you feel better."

Li Sijie’s mouth twitched again, and she quickly said, "No, no, I’m not angry, just as long as you rent the hall back to me."

"Of course," said Chen Youliang as he visibly relaxed, striking his chest and saying, "Young Master Chen has already said, as long as you want to use it, this house is yours for as long as you wish. I have prepared the contract for you, please have a look."

Li Sijie took the contract that Li Youliang offered and scrutinized it carefully, with Miao Xuanxuan also leaning over to look with her.

The contract was straightforward because there was only one clause, that the house was indefinitely rent-free for Li Sijie’s use. Whenever Li Sijie decided to return it, only then could it be returned, otherwise Hualong Company could not take the house back.

Li Sijie and Miao Xuanxuan exchanged glances, their eyes filled with an unusual light.

Li Youliang’s legs went weak with fright, sweat breaking out on his forehead once again. He didn’t even have time to wipe it away as he urgently said, "President Li, if there’s anything you’re dissatisfied with, please just mention it, and I’ll add it right away, right now, to ensure your complete satisfaction."

Li Sijie’s mouth twitched again as she said, "Manager Li, this contract... seems quite unreasonable."

Li Youliang became even more frightened, saying, "President Li, whatever is unreasonable, just say it, say it, and I’ll change it immediately."

Looking at Li Youliang’s demeanor, Li Sijie felt bad, and quickly said, "Manager Li, I just feel that this contract is really too favorable for me, and it offers you nothing advantageous at all, this..."

Li Youliang let out a long breath, his face suddenly regaining its composure. Only then did he remember to wipe the sweat from his forehead, saying, "President Li, you don’t have to worry about that. Young Master Chen has already instructed me, this house is to be given to you for free, so this contract, it couldn’t be more reasonable."

"But..." Li Sijie was really hesitant about signing. The offer was so generous, it was hard for her to believe it could be real.

Seeing Li Sijie still hesitant, Li Siliang said with a pained expression, "President Li, I know I have been very offensive just now. Please be magnanimous and overlook my rudeness; just let it go like a fart, I beg you. Please sign the contract, otherwise I really won’t be able to account for this back home."

Both Li Sijie and Miao Xuanxuan were somewhat dumbfounded. They were essentially being given the house for free, and he still had to plead with Li Sijie to accept it, which was simply too bizarre.

Song Xiaodong smiled slightly at this point, saying, "President Li, just sign it, don’t make it difficult for him."

Li Youliang nodded repeatedly, ingratiatingly saying to Song Xiaodong, "Eldest Brother is right, absolutely right."

Seeing that Song Xiaodong also said this, Li Sijie finally signed her name on the contract.

After Li Sijie signed, Li Youliang quickly snatched back a copy as if he were mortally afraid that Li Sijie would have second thoughts, making her even suspect that she had signed a terrible deal.

Li Youliang finally felt relieved and, patting his chest, said, "President Li, if anyone who should not come to the guildhouse causes trouble, just call me, and I’ll make sure it’s taken care of. Even if it’s just trivial matters, you can come to me. I may not have many other talents, but I do have some younger brothers. When it comes to exerting a little effort, there’s absolutely no problem."

"How could I possibly impose like that," Li Sijie said hastily with courtesy.

"President Li, you mustn’t be polite with us. Just think of us as your little brothers, no, that’s not right, consider us your errand runners; you can command us as you see fit."

Li Sijie exchanged pleasantries a few more times, and then Li Youliang finally turned and left. Once out of the office, Li Youliang wiped the sweat from his forehead again, his mind filled with confusion. Who exactly was Li Sijie to have made Chen Zixu go to such lengths? At first, he thought Chen Zixu had taken an interest in Li Sijie.

But Chen Zixu had made it clear, it was definitely not that kind of relationship — furthermore, he had warned Chen Youliang to not spout nonsense and that if he were to offend Li Sijie in any way, he’d come back and break his legs.

Regardless, he had come to realize the guildhouse was definitely not to be trifled with from now on.
