Problematic Little Sister Fell In Love With Me Chapter 295 - Tempting ‘Discount Card’

Chapter 295: Chapter 296 Tempting ‘Discount Card’

“Little Chu, The Long Family… Did they, they contact you?”
I was dazed for a second and then glanced at Dong Xiaoye. I did not directly answer Long Shan, just like she did not directly answer my question. Instead, I sighed and said, “No wonder… I am really dumb. I just realized what the chairman meant… Secretary Long, on the other party’s so-called negotiation terms, it only specified my name but they didn’t say that I have to represent Fengchang, right? In other words, no matter which company I represent to discuss this project, they are willing to make concessions in terms of funding, right?”
“This…” Long Shan paused and said, “Little Chu, we were not trying to hide this from you. Didn’t the chairman also tell you already? You need to be careful about those who just want to use you… We were worried that you would think too much, so we didn’t say it clearly…”
Indeed, although Mo Yizhi didn’t say it clearly, his meaning was obvious. I just didn’t realize that. If the other party didn’t care which company I represented to negotiate the cooperation, the only conclusion was that they were clearly doing this for me. But why? Did they want something from me?
This was a very scary conclusion. No wonder Mo Yizhi had the third reason. It sounded scary, but I also began to feel that I needed protection…
However, a sensible person would not repeat the life that he had lived before; so although I was scared, I still didn’t want to go back to the same company. I smiled and said, “thank you for your kindness, Secretary Long, but I think I know what to do now.”
“Wait!” Long Shan suddenly said. After hearing that I didn’t hang up, she sighed, and then said calmly to me, “maybe you think I say this for the ambition of the Fengchang Group, but Little Chu, I want to give you a piece of advice. If you insist on leaving Fengchang, the chairman and I will not force you. As a friend and an elder, I just warn you in my personal capacity that you can join any company that wants to bid for this project, but you can’t join the Long Corporate Group!”
“Why?”
“Because I and the Long family…” Long Shan hesitated, but eventually, she didn’t tell me. She sighed and said, “nothing, I have already said what I should say, whether you want to join them or not, it is your business. Bye.”
After that, Long Shan hung up the phone, but I still couldn’t figure out what was going on. It was not that I was really interested in the reason, I just asked that question instinctively, but I didn’t expect Long Shan to have this kind of reason.
Why didn’t she want to see me join The Long Corporate Group? The Long Corporate Group… Long Shan? Her surname was also Long. Was there any relationship between them? I shook my head and thought to myself that I was thinking too much. Even if Long Shan was related to the Long Family, it was not possible that Mo Yizhi didn’t know anything about it, so why did I need to worry about it?
“Elder Brother, who was the female secretary?” Seeing me put away my phone, Chu Yuan couldn’t help but curiously asked, “why does she say you want to leave Fengchang? Do you want to resign?”
“Why do you want to know? Besides, even if I told you, you would not understand it.” I wanted to hide it from Chu Yuan, so I flicked Chu Yuan’s forehead, and then shrugged and smiled at Dong Xiaoye, “it’s a pity that we can’t accept Long Yifan’s invitation. That dinner, can you decline it for me. I don’t think you need me to help you to think of a reason, right? Haha, my wound has not completely healed, and the pain is still there, so it is normal for people to decline the Long family’s invitation.”
Dong Xiaoye was sitting next to me. She heard the conversation between me and Long Shan clearly, so she had already sensed something. She frowned and said, “what’s the cooperation project you two just mentioned? Is that the real purpose of Long Yifan? But didn’t you say that you have already…” Worrying that Chu Yuan might find out, Dong Xiaoye didn’t make it clear. She was confused why I hadn’t cut my ties with Fengchang, since I had already decided to leave that company.
“There is a slight change, and it is quite complicated, so I’m still thinking about it,” I said perfunctorily, “I can only tell you that Long Yifan’s purpose should be the cooperative project. As for what the cooperative project is about… I’m sorry, it is a trade secret, so even if you are a policewoman, I still can’t tell you.”
I lied to Dong Xiaoye without feeling ashamed… It was not that I couldn’t tell her, it was actually that I myself also didn’t know what was going on! If I didn’t dislike the Long Family, I would happily accept the invitation and see if I could get something out of Long Yifan’s mouth.
In all likelihood, the purpose of the Long’s family was that attractive cooperation project. Thanks to the attractive conditions of cooperation, I seemed to have become a tempting ‘discount card’…
Damn it. What kind of company was this foreign company? And what exactly did they want from me?
“Tsk, so stingy…”
“What do you mean so stingy, this is called professional ethics,” I replied, “Think about it, how did Long Yifan know your relationship with Sister Danchen? And how did he know the difficulties faced by the school? He has spent so much time studying you, but you said that he just wanted to apologize to me? Who would believe that?”
“Alright, alright, only me is naive, okay?” Dong Xiaoye grumbled.
It was impossible for Dong Xiaoye not to suspect that Long Yifan had other hidden purposes, she just wanted to have a better school for those children. I thought for a second and said, “about the money for the school, I can transfer it this afternoon. Although it is not comparable to Long Yifan’s offer, it can still solve the school’s problem. so Sister Xiaoye, you should stop worrying.”
I didn’t want Chu Yuan to know about donating money to the school, because she would definitely ask me where the money came from.
“I’m not worried about that. I am just trying to find an alternative, so you don’t have to…” Dong Xiaoye subconsciously glanced at Chu Yuan who was a little confused and said, “anyway, there is no need to rush. We can still do it next week. It is not like you will be able to run away.”
“Elder Brother, what are you talking about? Why can’t I understand a thing?”
“It’s okay if you don’t understand,” I patted Chu Yuan on the head and smiled, “you are still a child after all, so you need to grow up quickly.”
Chu Yuan puffed up her cheeks and said, “I’m warning you for the last time, I am not a child! I’m sixteen years old already!”
She even got mad at this comment. Clearly, she was still a child. I smiled and then asked Dong Xiaoye, “by the way, since Long Yifan has told you everything, then there is no reason for Captain Lin to hide the progress of the investigation from you, right? So is there any update? Has Xu Heng’s story been verified? What happened to his accomplices?”
Being ignored by me made the little bratty girl very angry, she was about to punch me in the stomach to vent her dissatisfaction, but when she heard what I said, she suddenly stopped and then looked at Dong Xiaoye curiously.
Even Chu Yuan also understood the seriousness of this question. Xu Heng, who was still on the run, was still something that we worried about the most.
“You want to know?” Dong Xiaoye slyly blinked her unique big eyes and said with a smile, “I’m sorry, it is the police business, so even if you are a hero who saved many people, I still can’t tell you. It is not that I am stingy, this is professional ethics…”
This damn woman. She actually used my words to answer me…
Chu Yuan could see that Dong Xiaoye was playing tricks on me deliberately. She shook her hand like a little girl begging her with a cute voice, “Sister Xiaoye, just tell my brother. Please..”
Dong Xiaoye really had no resistance to Chu Yuan. As if coaxing a little girl, she smiled and said, “I was joking with your elder brother. Yuan Yuan, can you go to your room to play with Little Dongfang first? There are some things that I can only talk to your Elder brother alone.”
Seeing Dong Xiaoye’s expression suddenly became serious, I was dazed. It seemed like the reason why she said those words weren’t all just to make fun of me.
How could Chu Yuan not understand Dong Xiaoye’s intentions? Pretending to be foolish and innocent, she tilted her head and said, “Can’t I hear it as well?”
“No,” Dong Xiaoye seemed to be a very careless woman, but in fact, she was not only very cautious but also very principled. She coaxed Chu Yuan, “I’m not like your elder brother. I know that Yuan Yuan is no longer a child, but a big girl, but I still can’t let you hear it, because this is the discipline required by my work. I have to keep it secret from anyone except your elder brother. Yuan Yuan, do you understand?”
After hearing the words ‘work discipline’, Chu Yuan was unable to say anything. Even if she was reluctant, she still would not show it in front of Dong Xiaoye. This girl’s ability to pretend to be a good girl had always been extraordinary, so she nodded obediently.
Turning her head, she glared at me immediately, very dissatisfied, and then pulled Dongfang, who was also curious, back to her room. I was sure that she would not close the door tightly, and she would try to eavesdrop on what Dong Xiaoye said from inside her room.
I couldn’t help but jokingly said, “I was just asking, why do you need to be so discreet?”
