Chapter 480 - Impress You
Chapter 480: Impress You
After exiting the bar, Xiao Luo offered to give Guan Tong a ride, but Guantong refused, saying that it would only take him ten minutes to walk home since his family lived nearby.
Although he went back late, Su Li didn’t make a fuss since she didn’t really care too much about his private life.
The next day, Xiao Luo learned from Luo Pingxiang that Su Li was going to set up her own entertainment company, which had already been successfully registered. The company’s name was “Liyue Media”, which had just started the planning process and was undergoing construction.
“Why did you suddenly have the idea of starting a company?”
Xiao Luo asked Su Li, who was sitting on the sofa and drinking coffee gracefully.
She was still looking at the book in her hand as she replied, “I just want to take my own destiny in my own hands.”
Xiao Luo smiled. This woman was really independent. Presumably, this recent scandal and the fall out with Huangpu made her resolve to develop her own entertainment company.
Xiao Luo nodded in agreement. “Good. You really are strong.” He then looked around, “Where is Beibei?”
“Su Canye took her to Yinlong Mountain Villa, and she will stay there for a while.”
Su Li placed the bookmark inside the book and closed it. She put the coffee aside, got up, and looked at Xiao Luo. “There is a banquet this afternoon. You will accompany me there. I have a senior whom I became acquainted with when I was studying abroad, who is also interested in investing.”
“In terms of funds, you should have no problem. So how can you let a foreigner invest in the shares?” Xiao Luo was puzzled and asked.
Su Li explained, “His family has deep influence in the North America entertainment industry. If Liyue Media wants to expand and open up in North America’s market, he will be of great help, and many of the complicated things would become simple.”
I see!
Xiao Luo suddenly understood. This woman’s vision was really looking far ahead, she actually already had the idea to expand into North America market.
“I am also one of the shareholders.” Su Li added.
“It’s quite good, but I don’t think your foreign senior’s interest in your company is sincere.”
“What do you mean?” Su Li frowned.
Xiao Luo raised his eyebrows and smiled lightly, “A drunken man’s intention is not the wine.”
Su Li certainly knew what he meant. Her cheeks flushed red and she whispered, “That’s why I asked you to go with me.”
“And be your shield?” Xiao Luo asked.
“Will you do it or not?”
Su Li looked at him straight, and her tone laced with a hint of anger. She said, “When I was studying abroad, he once pursued me.”
Originally, Xiao Luo wanted to say that he didn’t want to go but when Su Li said this, he suddenly felt very unpleasant in his heart. He coughed and replied, “Since there is a free meal, I have no reason not to go. How about this? I will go back first and rest, you can call me when it’s time to go.”
Finished saying that, he turned away.
Is it so hard to not be proud and just admit that you have me in your heart?
Su Li looked at the man’s departing figure in condescension. She felt that his expression was quite lovely, and she couldn’t help laughing.
[TN: If you didn’t tell him that you would break up with him later, he would’ve probably made some advances to you…?]
……
……
At four o’clock in the afternoon, Su Li called Xiao Luo.
Shen Qingyan drove a Jaguar to pick them up. As soon as they got in the car, she started to talk, “Li, you and this guy look more and more like a married couple. See, you’re even wearing matching outfits.”
Su Li blushed, “What are you talking about? Hurry up and drive.”
“How can I drive? This guy is, after all, an employee of my company. So how can I, the boss, drive while the employee sits back?”
Shen Qingyan got out and switched to the back seat. She pointed at Xiao Luo. “Xiao Luo, what are you doing still sitting like a Buddha? Let’s go.”
“Aren’t you afraid that I will crash your luxury car?” Xiao Luo argued.
“You are giving this young lady a leg up. It’s not like I don’t know your driving skills. Besides, if you really did crash it, you can afford it considering the remuneration of your latest commission.” Shen Qingyan replied.
“……” Xiao Luo had no choice but to drive.
Shen Qingyan sat next to Su Li, the former wore a blue dress while the latter wore a white dress. These two beauties were looking very stunning, one was like an orchid blooming in the quiet night, and the other, a snow lotus carved from ice crystals.
“Hey, where to?” After Xiao Luo sat in the driving position, he looked at the inside rearview mirror and asked.
“Hengshan North Resort Hotel!”
Shen Qingyan said, “If you don’t know where it is, just open the GPS.”
After replying, she and Su Li began to talk about women’s favorite topics; bags, jewelry, cosmetics, clothes, and so on.
Xiao Luo scoffed and simply ignored them, and focused on driving.
After half an hour, they arrived at their destination.
Hengshan North Resort Hotel was located north of Xia Hai. Although it was situated in a suburb, the environment was really beautiful. It not only had a vast golf course, but also a beautiful artificial lake, which was built to take after Bode Mountain Villa. It was close to the mountains and rivers, giving people a special sense of comfort.
Xiao Luo met the foreigner in a room.
He had green eyes, golden hair and was wearing a white shirt. He was naturally exuding a prince-like temperament.
“Sabrina!”
[TN: Su Li’s English name)
The foreign man spontaneously smiled and strode over to give Su Li a hug. “I’m glad to meet you. I haven’t seen you for several years. You got even more beautiful and sexy.”
He was speaking fluent but accented Chinese. He was bearded and tall, and was definitely considered the prince charming in the eyes of many women.
“Thank you.”
Su Li replied graciously and then introduced Shen Qingyan. “This is Shen Qingyan, CEO of Huayao Group. You can call her in her English name, Demi. She is also one of my shareholders in Liyue Media.”
“Hello, my name is Leon. Nice to meet you beautiful Miss Demi.” Leon was a gentleman, he extended out his hand to Shen Qingyan.
“Hello, Mr. Leon, it seems that the rumors are true. Mr. Leon really looks handsome and has extraordinary vitality.” Shen Qingyan smiled and shook hands with him.
“Miss Demi jests.”
Leon nodded in satisfaction, he then looked at Xiao Luo. “Sabrina, who is this gentleman?”
Su Li walked silently to Xiao Luo and said, “He is my husband, Xiao Luo.”
Xiao Luo froze and stood still, he looked at Su Li surprised. This was the first time he had heard such a gentle tone from this woman’s lips when introducing their relationship. However he quickly regained his calm. His purpose for today was to be a shield, so it was natural to put up a believable disguise.
“Oh? He is your husband?”
Leon was greatly surprised, his expression seemed to undergo many changes. A touch of hostility also flashed in his expression. He smiled and greeted, “Hello, Mr. Xiao!”
“Hello!”
Xiao Luo politely replied.
Leon had no intention of shaking hands with Xiao Luo as he turned his eyes away and said to Su Li, “Sabrina, I pursued you relentlessly two years ago and failed, but Mr. Xiao succeeded. Can you satisfy my curiosity and tell me what he did to impress you?”
