Chapter 114: What Did You Say?

“I studied this because my dad said that rich people like it.” She held the cup tightly and absorbed the warmth of the cup. “1 want to marry a rich man, at least richer than my family. I’m not outstanding enough, so I’m surrounded by people of similar levels.
“The people in the circle will come here to support your bookstore. 1 want to try my luck. Maybe I’ll succeed and meet a rich person I like,” Che Qin said honestly.
Che Qin raised her head to look at her. If she dared to say it, she was not afraid of being laughed at.
“Do you think I’m too realistic?” she asked.
Lin Gantang thought for a moment. “How should I put it? You’ve seen it yourself. I don’t dare to say that I understand matters of the heart. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have stumbled down the wrong path. My career is even less worth mentioning. As long as you have a clear conscience, 1 have no right to comment on you.”
There were too many who desperately wanted to climb the ladder, and there were likewise too many dirty methods. Even if Che Qin was using the bookstore as a springboard, at least she was open and aboveboard about wanting to marry a rich man.
“Good luck. I’m very happy that you’re willing to confide in me, and I won’t interfere with your decision,” Lin Gantang said.
Le family.
Le Guangkai felt that his head was getting balder. He paced back and forth in the living room anxiously.
Everyone said that Wen Yanqing would go to the cat bookstore. When would it be his turn? He had been squatting there for an entire week and there was no sign of him!
He was so unlucky. Did he happen to go when Wen Yanqing was not around?
Le Yu whistled as he walked in. His sloppy appearance infuriated Mr. Le, who was already in a bad mood.
“You fool around all day long and don’t do anything proper. You’re a good-for-nothing!” Le Guangkai lectured with a sour expression on his face. “Dad, did you take the wrong medicine? You don’t even tell me about family matters. How can 1 help you with official business?” Le Yu asked.
He was his son after all, so Le Guangkai briefly explained the company’s matters. “The project in the north of the city is very important to our Le family. I want to meet Wen Yanqing and see if I can have a chance to talk to him face-to-face, but I can’t meet him.”
“You can make an appointment.”
“Do you think you can make an appointment with the CEO of Shengfang Group just because you want to? Do you think he’s like you, idling around all day?” Le Guangkai scolded his son’s naivety.
“How am I idling around? I’ve seen Wen Yanqing before, alright?” Le Yu was unhappy that his father berated him daily. He retorted forcefully, “I need to make an appointment? The last time 1 called, he picked up directly!”
Le Guangkai’s anxious expression disappeared. He grabbed his son and said, “What did you say? You have Wen Yanqing’s personal number?”
“That’s right.” Le Yu looked at his father’s shocked expression and said smugly, “Lin Gantang gave it to me.”
“Hurry up! Give Dad the number!” Le Guangkai was overjoyed. “My good son, Ah Yu, you’ve improved. I’m glad.”
If at first you don’t succeed, try and try again.
Their Le family had hope!
Le Yu felt dizzy from his father’s praise. He took out his phone and suddenly froze.
“Hurry up, what are you waiting for?” Mr. Le urged.
Le Yu looked at his father cautiously. “There’s something 1 forgot to tell you. Don’t be angry.”
“Where did you cause trouble again? It’s okay. I’ll help you deal with it this time.”
Le Yu closed his eyes. “Dad, I’m sorry. 1 forgot that 1 deleted Wen Yanqing’s number!”
“What did you say?”
Le Yu wanted to cry, “1 deleted Wen Yanqing’s number… Dad, why are you taking off your belt? Dad! Dad! Don’t hit me! Ow!”
Le Yu was whipped by his own father, and the entire house dissolved into chaos.
“You useless son, you’re going to be the death of me!” Le Guangkai’s blood pressure shot up. “Scram to the bookstore. Don’t even think about entering the house until you get the number back!”
Le Yu, who was more than 1.8 meters tall, was almost reduced to a sobbing mess by his father..
