Chapter 283: Traces
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
After Li Ran put on her gloves and began to eat the pig trotters, she said in a muffled voice, “The butler is taking leave tomorrow, so you can only wash the clothes yourself.”
Li Ci didn’t respond. When he came out again, Li Ran had already eaten all the pig trotters, leaving bare bones scattered on the coffee table.
Li Ci was a clean freak. If it were anyone else who dirtied his coffee table, he definitely would have lost his temper. He could only tolerate Li Ran.
He walked over and tidied up the coffee table before sitting down beside Li Ran. This girl’s appetite had been improving recently, and her figure had become visibly plumper.
“So who were you angry with just now?”
“It’s all because of Zhou Liu. He hasn’t replied for an entire day.” Li Ci was about to speak when Li Ran said, “If you want to reason with me, you’d better not say anything. I’m very annoyed now. Reasoning is the last thing 1 want to hear.”
Li Ci swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue. “Since you’re so angry, just delete his number.”
Li Ran was unwilling, so she pouted and explained for Zhou Liu, “That’s not necessary. He’s not that outrageous. He’s just too busy. Moreover, 1 heard that his friend has been living with him recently, so he has to go back every day after work to compete with his friend.”
“Compete? On what?”
Li Ran said with dissatisfaction, “He must be playing games and can’t be bothered to reply to me, so he found an excuse to brush me off.”
Li Ci didn’t speak for a moment. He was thinking about the friend Zhou Liu had mentioned. Could he be Mo Shu, who had been taken away from the technology exhibition that day?
Now, everyone was looking for Mo Shu, but he had disappeared. Could he have been hidden by Zhou Liu?
Li Ci suddenly looked at Li Ran sinisterly. “There’s no such thing as a free lunch. Since you ate the pig trotters 1 bought for you, shouldn’t you do me a favor?”
Li Ran frowned and she had a bad feeling. Every time Li Ci asked her to do something, he had this sinister expression!
Li Ran’s expression instantly turned bitter. “What do you want?”
Li Ci said with a smile, “It’s no trouble. 1 just want you to have a meal with Zhou Liu and help me ask around.”
Li Ran was surprised. “What does Zhou Liu have that you’re interested in?”
Li Ci flicked Li Ran’s forehead as he said, “To think that you don’t even know that Zhou Liu is a computer genius even when you chat with him every day. It’s said that the defense code he writes is the strongest defense system. As soon as he graduates, he’ll be a talent fought over by various companies. How can 1 not be interested in such a talent?”
Li Ran frowned. “But he’s an employee of Yuan An Software Company now.”
“That’s why I want you to negotiate with him. Poach him for me.”
Li Ran was very good at communicating and negotiating. After she married Gao Shan, she helped Gao Dan negotiate a lot of orders. In addition, with Zhou Liu and Li Ran’s relationship, if Li Ran took action, she would definitely be able to poach Zhou Liu to Li Ci’s company.
Li Ran looked at Li Ci suspiciously. She had never asked her uncle about what he did, but this time, she was suddenly curious. “Uncle, 1 really want to know how many businesses you have.”
After Li Ci rubbed Li Ran’s head and tousled up her hair, Li Ran frowned in dissatisfaction and avoided his hand.
Li Ci asked, “Why are you suddenly interested in this? You’ve never asked before.”
Li Ran had an impassive expression, but her tone was very serious. “I’m just curious. If you’re unwilling to say it, so be it. But Uncle, I have to remind you that because of my parents, you have to restrain yourself in the business world. I keep feeling that what you’re doing is getting more and more dangerous.”
Li Ci didn’t dwell on this topic anymore. He only said jokingly, “You’ve grown up and know how to express concern about your uncle now. Don’t worry, no matter what I do, 1 definitely won’t let it affect you. You know best what kind of benefits Zhou Liu can get now. As long as you help me poach him, any condition is fine.”
Li Ran had been raised in a prominent family, so she was good at reading body language. Since Li Ci didn’t want to mention it, she didn’t probe further. She played along and joked, “My negotiation might lead you towards bankruptcy.”
“If you can really bankrupt your me, that’ll be impressive.”
Because of this, Li Ran became more and more suspicious. She felt that Li Ci seemed to have developed more and more business power without her family knowing..
