Chapter 243: Chapter 243: Rong Yan Doesn’t Like That Necklace?

Translator: 549690339

The high-level executives were reporting the latest financial data at the meeting, while Li Shengxiao, holding a pen, was tapping on the desk and glanced at his phone with his mind not really on the report.

When he saw the name “Rong Yan,” he decisively put down the pen and picked up the mobile phone next to him.

[How is it, was Rong Yan moved by the romantic gift I taught you to give? Did you guys take the opportunity to ‘hehehe’?]

He didn’t need to see the name to know who sent this message.

Li Shengxiao immediately deleted the message and placed the phone back on the desk. His gaze then unintentionally caught the sight of the water cup placed aside.

This cup…

He reached out, his fingertips grazing the rim of the cup. It seemed as though it still carried the delicate fragrance of the little woman, natural and comforting.

Come to think of it, she seemed to be in a good mood tonight after returning from the mountain.

Could it be that she was very satisfied with the surprise he had prepared?

But Rong Yan didn’t seem to express particular fondness for that necklace; she appeared to be more interested in the stars in the sky and that steak dinner.

Perhaps, she didn’t like the necklace that much?

Li Shengxiao furrowed his brows, as if he had encountered some great dilemma in life, and fell into deep thought.

The executive who had been speaking in the video conference had finished his five-minute talk without seeing any response from the president at the other end, who instead looked tight-browed and somewhat dissatisfied, causing him to break into a cold sweat. Wiping his forehead repeatedly with a handkerchief and steeling himself, he lowered his voice and said, “Mr. Li, there are still imperfections in this financial report, which I will surely continue to refine. Besides the data not being perfect, is there anything else you would like me to improve on?”

Rong Yan didn’t like the birthday gift? Did he need to send another one to make it up to her, or wait until next time?

“Mr. Li?” The executive waited a long time for a response from the esteemed man, growing increasingly uncertain as he mentally reviewed his financial report several times, unable to find any issue that would’ve ‘upset’ the president. His legs grew weak, “Mr. Li? Is there anything else I need to improve?”

Clueless about what went wrong, he bit the bullet and proactively suggested, “What if you give me one more day, and I’ll redo it immediately!”

Li Shengxiao leaned on his chin, his lips pressed thin and his facial lines taut, his brows tightly knit, showing that he was getting somewhat irritable.

The executive grew more nervous, and biting his teeth, he changed his proposition, “No, not one day. If you give me one night, I will surely provide a satisfactory answer by morning!”

“Mr. Li?”

The distinguished man’s distracted dark eyes finally began to focus, as he glanced at him sidelong, his lips barely touching, “No need, you’ve done well.”

“Uh…” If he did well, why did the president just now seem so dissatisfied and agitated?

The executive, unsure whether the boss was being serious or sarcastic, cautiously said, “No, Mr. Li, I know there are many areas where I am lacking. I will still prepare a new one tomorrow to submit to you.”

“No need. I’ve told you, you did well!” he said, picked up his phone, and stood up, “Today’s meeting ends here. For the rest, just email the reports to me, and I will reply tomorrow!”

The high-level executives in the meeting room looked at each other, reading surprise in each other’s eyes.

What does it mean, tonight’s meeting is over?

Normally, if the boss had an evening meeting, it would last until around midnight. Now, it was only 9:30 PM, and it was over?

“That’s all.” Li Shengxiao, irrespective of what they were thinking, finished his instructions and shut his laptop.
