Chapter 210: Again rejected?

Xiao Ming's implied meaning was that he had no interest in Liu Peipei; that was the truth.

Just then, as Xiao Ming turned the corner, his phone rang; he answered it and disappeared from the sight of the two women behind him.

"Tsk tsk tsk, heavens, what am I seeing? Our Miss Liu actually showed interest in a man for the first time, and yet she failed?" Liu Peipei's friend walked over and said, deliberately mocking.

Liu Peipei, however, didn't think so: "Hmph, reject me? He actually dared to reject me?"

"What kind of person am I, Liu Peipei? After finally taking a liking to a man, how could I give up easily? I will definitely get him." Liu Peipei, fuming, stared in the direction where Xiao Ming's silhouette disappeared and said with great determination.

……

After about ten minutes, while Xiao Ming was still on his way home, an unknown number called him.

His number was one he had bought specially; he normally got no nuisance calls, and only people he knew and was on good terms with would call him, so he didn't think much and just pressed answer.

"Hello, Mr. Xiao, I'm Liu Peipei, the person you just helped up." As soon as Xiao Ming pressed answer, a familiar woman's voice came from the other end.

"Mm! It's you!" Xiao Ming replied calmly, showing no particular emotion.

However, he was still a little surprised in his heart; he hadn't expected that woman to obtain his contact information so quickly—it seemed she was not ordinary.

Xiao Ming just casually thought that and then felt at ease.

For someone of his status, it's quite normal for many women to want to cling to him and for some to deliberately seek out his contact information.

Who knows whose luck is good enough to just happen to find his number.

On the other end of the phone, seeing Xiao Ming answer, the woman immediately said eagerly: "Mr. Xiao, I sincerely want to thank you, may I invite you……"

"No!"

Without waiting for Liu Peipei to finish speaking, Xiao Ming already hung up.

"I..." Seeing Xiao Ming reject her, Liu Peipei still wanted to say something, but it was already too late; looking at her phone that had returned to the menu screen, she was dumbfounded.

She had actually been rejected again?

Only when the phone screen went dark from prolonged inactivity did Liu Peipei snap out of her disappointment; she stomped her feet in frustration: "Unfair, too unfair!"

After hanging up, Xiao Ming helplessly glanced out the window and muttered: "Ah, I have to change my SIM card again."

What did that woman say? If she were a bit more proactive, she'd have a story with him, and even a child?

Joking aside, can you just have a story with him whenever you want?

Can his child be had just because someone wants to give birth?

That woman's looks are not bad, but there are plenty of good-looking women around him.

He has no interest in that woman.

……

Geng Jing Shu's belly grew bigger day by day.

Whether it was the Xiao family or the Geng family, everyone was very nervous about her.

Especially the people on Geng Jing Shu's side; although the Xiao family has been treating her well so far, in their view, the thoughts of the rich are hard to guess, so they all attach great importance to Geng Jing Shu and the child in her belly.

The child in her belly is the Xiao family's most noble descendant; even before birth, it is already highly valued.

The Xiao family's child, once born, will enjoy endless wealth and honor; if it's a son, then one day all of the Xiao family's possessions will eventually be handed over to this child.

That status needs no further explanation.

If something were to happen to the child, would the status of the richest's daughter-in-law still belong to Geng Jing Shu?

If anything were to happen to Geng Jing Shu, their glamorous life would have no hope; being relatives of such a tycoon, they cherish it greatly and would not let her go back to work, no matter what.

Geng Jing Shu didn't have that many thoughts, but she also wished for her child to be born safe and sound; so, following her parents' and relatives' advice, she asked the company for leave and stopped working.

When Geng Jing Shu approached her leader to request leave, the leader agreed without much discussion.

Ask for leave?

That's just going through the motions; Geng Jing Shu is the tycoon's future daughter-in-law—such a thick thigh, who wouldn't want to cling to it?

Even if Geng Jing Shu didn't take leave and just sat at home every day, the company would still have to support her properly, occasionally raising her salary and giving bonuses.

Their company's development cannot do without relying on Geng Jing Shu's connections; putting it bluntly, even if she were useless to the company, just by virtue of being the tycoon's daughter-in-law, they would still have to support her, otherwise offending the tycoon could lead to bankruptcy at any moment.

……

After the wedding preparations were mostly done, Xiao Yunzhe entered work mode; the first thing was to invite his enlightenment teacher to come to the company.

After Wu Pengqing met Xiao Ming, the two hit it off, and Xiao Ming successfully persuaded him to join the company.

After returning, Wu Pengqing submitted his resignation to the company; upon learning why he resigned, the school, though reluctant, had to let him go.

In the business world, when the richest Xiao Ming planned to merge his several large conglomerates, the whole circle exploded; everyone exclaimed, "This is already impressive enough—if several companies were to merge strongly, just how impressive would that be?"

Having thought that bringing his own companies to such a successful point would satisfy the great tycoon Xiao Ming, and that his stature was already something many could only envy, it was unexpected that he still harbored greater ambition.

As for Wu Pengqing's side, when many learned that he might become the head of Xiao Ming's merged conglomerates, they instantly became busy.

They brought all kinds of good things and vied to approach Wu Pengqing, their intentions to flatter and curry favor being quite obvious.

This made Wu Pengqing feel deeply; such is reality!

That day, Xiao Yunzhe went to pick up Wu Pengqing and brought him to tour several of Xiao Ming's large companies, meanwhile telling Wu Pengqing about the companies' situations.

As for him, he had previously agreed with his girlfriend Geng Jing Shu to go shopping together.

"Honey, sorry, I forgot I had arranged today to meet my teacher for a company tour, which clashes with our date," Xiao Yunzhe apologized to Geng Jing Shu over the phone.

"Go ahead and be busy; I understand you. Shopping can be done any day—work comes first." Geng Jing Shu, not being unreasonable, had no intention of blaming Xiao Yunzhe.

"Thanks for your understanding, honey; once I'm done these few days, I'll definitely keep you company." After blowing a kiss to Geng Jing Shu from afar, Xiao Yunzhe ended the call.
