Chapter 317: You Don’t Ask Me Where I’m Going?

Translator: Henyee  Editor: Henyee

As she expected, Tang Jieren and Tang Yaoren immediately turned ghastly pale. Tang Xi looked at their faces and gave a sarcastic smile asq her eyes gradually became icy. “It seems that you’ll need to have a good discussion on this expense before you can give me an answer?”

After the meeting, Tang Xi sat in her seat for a long time. She had thought that after several months, she had been prepared to face the people who had killed her. However, she didn’t expect that she would be so tired when facing them. She actually wasn’t fully prepared to face these people.

After the secretary reminded her, Tang Xi stood up and left the meeting room only to see a familiar person standing not far away from her and smiling fawningly at her.

Tang Xi Looked at that man, and her eyes had a gleam of surprise. That man came up to her with a fawning smile and greeted her blandly, “Xixi, I came early in the morning when I heard you were back. I’m so relieved to see you safe and sound.”

Tang Xi took a look at Qin Benyuan, and pursed her lips. “Thank you for your concern.”

“Well, Xixi,” Qin Benyuan hurriedly called to her when he saw she was going to leave. “Why don’t we go out and have a cup of coffee?”

Tang Xi stopped and looked at Qin Benyuan with a fathomless gaze. After a while, she smiled and said, “Now that we’re in the company, there is no reason for us to drink coffee outside. Why don’t we go to my office and have a cup of coffee?”

Qin Benyuan’s eyes sparkled with excitement when he heard Tang Xi’s words and he nodded hard. “Okay, okay, you’re really considerate, Xixi.”

“Please call me President Tang in the company, President Qin.” Tang Xi said with a straight face and then walked towards her office.

Being reminded by Tang Xi, Qin Benyuan looked a bit embarrassed, but he soon covered up his emotions and followed Tang Xi into her office. He walked in and at the same time exclaimed, “Xixi… President Tang, you’re really capable. You’re so young but you manage the company so well that your company’s performance is better than ever. Our Xinying really should learn from you. She just fools around all day long.”

Upon hearing Qin Benyuan mentioned Qin Xinying, Tang Xi narrowed her eyes, but Qin Benyuan walking behind her didn’t notice the change in her countenance. After they entered the office, Tang Xi asked, “I think President Qin didn’t come over just to chat with me, right? You can just tell me your purpose directly.”

Qin Benyuan took a look at Tang Xi and smiled. “No big deal. It’s just that we cooperated with our business partners on a project several months ago, and it’s going to be finished soon, but now we’re short of funds, because the Empire Group hasn’t given us the money you promised us. I came here today to sign the contract with you, and then you can urge your company’s financial department to transfer the money to us asap, so that we can finish the project quickly, which will be of benefit to both of us, right?”

That old man suddenly went to City A and the Empire Group still hasn’t transferred the money to them. If it continued to be delayed, they would lose the project. Fortunately, Tang Xi came back. From what he knew of this silly girl, she would grant anything Xinying asked of her. As long as he requested it of her, she would definitely agree at once and have the money transferred to the account of the Qin’s Group. Then that project could be successfully completed!

Tang Xi sneered in her heart when she saw Qin Benyuan made no secret of his purpose for talking to her. It seemed that she was really too nice to Qin Xinying, so Qin Benyuan had the illusion that she would grant them whatever they requested! Let her teach him a good lesson!

Tang Xi sat down on the sofa, looked up at Qin Benyuan and looked confused. “Hasn’t the project been finished?” Tang Xi straightened up and looked at Qin Benyuan with a frown. “By the way, as for the project, it’s said that the project was finished three months ago, but our Empire Group still hasn’t received any return. Since you’re here, President Qin, let’s talk about this project. Why haven’t we received any return from our investment in the project, since it has been finished?”

“Return?” Qin Benyuan was stunned. Tang Xi never cared about the Empire Group’s return on investment from the Qin’s Group before. Why did she suddenly ask him about this? And he wasn’t intending to give the Empire Group any benefit from that project at all!

Tang Xi looked at him and sneered in her heart. She nodded. “Yes, return on investment. President Qin, you’re not going to tell me our company’s investments iqn the Qin’s Group have all gone, right? If so, who would dare to cooperate with the Qin’s Group in the future?”

Qin Benyuan froze. Tang Xi used to be very nice to him, but now she was literally threatening him! If the Empire Group claimed to put the Qin’s Group to their blacklist, all the enterprises in the capital and even in the whole of China wouldn’t dare cooperate with them. Even big companies would have some qualms if they wanted to cooperate with them. Why did this girl become like this in only a few several months? How could she be so mean to them!

Tang Xi looked at him and raised her eyebrows as she said, “If President Qin still wants to cooperate with us, I hope we can receive the return on our investment asap. No one will believe the Qin’s Group suffers losses at every project that we’ve invested in, right?” With that, she stood up, called the internal line and asked her secretary to send in a cup of coffee.

The secretary soon sent the coffee in. Tang Xi smiled at Qin Benyuan. “Have a cup of coffee, President Qin. Please think about what I just said. You know, we are all businessmen. No businessman will keep trading at a loss unless he is a fool.”

Qin Benyuan smiled awkwardly,and took a sip of the coffee. Then he hurriedly stood up and said, “You’re right, President Tang. I’ll visit you another day.”

Tang Xi nodded and looked at Qin Benyuan who was walking towards outside as she said, “Today is Friday. I hope I can see your sincerity by this weekend. Otherwise, I don’t think we can be friends anymore.”

She should go back to City A this weekend. In any case, from the following Monday, she would become a grade three student in high school. She was supposed to show up in front of the teacher on the first day.

As soon as Qin Benyuan left, Tang Xi received a phone call from Qiao Liang. She looked at the caller ID and raised her eyebrows. She didn’t realize that Qiao Liang was not around until now. She picked up the phone and Qiao Liang said, before she had the time to say anything, “I have something to tend to. I gotta leave. Little Six is in the company. Take him with you wherever you go.”

Tang Xi grunted and both fell silent. It had been quite a while before Qiao Liang asked, “You’re not going to ask me where I’m going?”
