Chapter 123: Coercion and inducement

When Jiang Zhimiao saw the news, his eyelids twitched for no reason.

Turning her head, she looked towards the largest office in the middle.

Shen Zhuowen is not here yet, and it seems that an international conference is being held. As one of the largest companies in Star City, it is not unusual for Shen to connect with the international community.

After a quick glance, Jiang Zhimiao calmed down and sent a message to Li Qiming, asking where he was.

Li Qiming responded immediately as if he was waiting for news from her.

Looking at the location in the dialog box, Jiang Zhimiao was very familiar with it. It was the coffee shop downstairs of the company.

Pinching her palm with her fingertips, she took her bag and walked downstairs.

When I walked into the coffee shop, I saw Li Qiming sitting by the window.

This time, he was dressed more neatly and carefully than before, and looked as if he had deliberately dressed up. When he saw Jiang Zhimiao, a smile immediately appeared on his face, and he waved at her, calling her over.

Jiang Zhimiao paused, walked over, and sat in front of him, "Mr. Li."

Li Qiming said , " Ms. Jiang, I'm really sorry for what happened yesterday. After thinking it over, I decided to come over and apologize."

Just at this moment, the waiter brought up two cups of coffee, which is the signature dish of the store.

He pushed one of the cups in front of Jiang Zhimiao, his eyes full of expectation, "My mother scolded me for what happened yesterday. I was not thoughtful enough. I'm sorry."

Jiang Zhimiao didn't answer and just asked , " Mr. Li, how did you know about my company?"

In order to prevent Jiang Yunyun from causing trouble in the company, she did not tell her the name of the company, nor did she tell Jiang Yunyun the name of Shen Zhuowen.

Name, business card ...

Jiang Zhimiao was startled, suddenly thought of something, raised his eyes and looked over.

Li Qiming put a business card in front of her, "Aunt Yun gave me this, so I know your boss is Mr. Shen. He didn't cause you any trouble yesterday."

Jiang Zhimiao looked at the business card in front of him, and his premonition came true.

Lips pursed slightly, she stretched out her hand to take the business card away, and Li Qiming's hand rested on it.

When the fingertips touched each other, a nauseating greasy feeling rose up.

Jiang Zhimiao instinctively let go of his hand and raised his eyes to look at Li Qiming in front of him.

The good impression from the first session was completely gone.

She said coldly , " No, can you return the business card to me?"

Li Qiming , " Don't worry. I came here this time to apologize to Mr. Shen in person. Can you introduce me to Miss Jiang?"

Jiang Zhimiao , "... "

She twitched the corners of her lips and found that she couldn't laugh, so she stopped laughing.

Her eyelashes were slightly raised and her expression was cold. She didn't care at all about Li Qiming's face in public, "Why should I introduce you?"

Li Qiming seemed to have a good temper and gave in and said , " Of course it's because I brought disadvantages to your work yesterday, and I want to explain it clearly to you and Mr. Shen. Otherwise, what will you do if you encounter any trouble at work in the future?"

Finally, he raised his hand, wanting to touch Jiang Zhimiao's palm on the table, half-suggestingly , " Besides, we will be a family from now on. If you help me, you are helping yourself."

Jiang Zhimiao clenched her molars slightly and looked at the warm coffee in front of her. She endured it for a long time before spilling the coffee on her face.

No wonder there was that call yesterday.

No wonder, under the pretext of apologizing, he came downstairs to her company without even saying hello.

He just wanted to coerce and lure her, and use her connections to get in touch with Shen Zhuowen.

In addition to being angry, he was even more embarrassed.

She didn't stay any longer, she simply stood up and prepared to leave.

Li Qiming actually stood up with her and reached out to grab her wrist.

Jiang Zhimiao turned back suddenly.

Li Qiming smiled , " Zhizhi, there's no need to be so heartless. After all, our elders are still good friends."

Pulling her hand back suddenly, Jiang Zhimiao turned around to look at Li Qiming, who stumbled backwards because of her move. Her face was expressionless, "It's not that I don't want to, it's really because I'm just an intern and don't have the right to speak in front of Mr. Shen."

Li Qiming didn't believe it. He opened his mouth and suddenly stopped.

His gaze suddenly passed Jiang Zhimiao's body and looked at the man walking behind her.

Perhaps it was because Li Qiming's expression was too distorted, with ecstasy underneath the slight anger, Jiang Zhimiao couldn't help but look back.

The man pushed the door open.

He walked straight towards them, as if they were just casually meeting, "Secretary Jiang?"

Jiang Zhimiao reluctantly nodded and said , " Mr. Shen, are you here to drink coffee too?"

Shen Zhuowen , " Well, I'll work overtime tonight."

Before Jiang Zhimiao could speak, Li Qiming suddenly took two steps forward and stood in front of her with a smile , " Mr. Shen, do you still remember me, the one who spoke to you yesterday?"

Shen Zhuowen glanced at it lightly and said without emotion , " Remember."

Jiang Zhimiao did not miss the disdain and contempt in Shen Zhuowen's eyes, and the condescending mockery he looked at her.

Thinking of the promise she made to him this morning, her ears turned redder and she was filled with embarrassment.

"Mr. Shen is still busy, let's do it next time." She tried to hold Li Qiming back.

Li Qiming said , " It's better to catch up with me some other time. Today is the day. By the way, I'll treat Mr. Shen to a cup of coffee as an apology for the offense I caused to you and Zhizhi yesterday."

Shen Zhuowen smiled half-heartedly , " Okay."

After that, he glanced at the seat slanted behind Jiang Zhimiao and asked , " Is this your seat?"

Li Qiming , " Yes."

Jiang Zhimiao dared to stop Li Qiming, but he didn't dare to stop Shen Zhuowen.

Moreover, because of Li Qiming's words, everyone in the coffee shop here has already looked over.

She lowered her eyes and stepped aside.

Li Qiming invited Shen Zhuowen to the table, ordered the most expensive cup of coffee, and then raised his eyes to look at Shen Zhuowen.

Jiang Zhimiao sat next to Shen Zhuowen.

Because when she passed by, Shen Zhuowen had already sat inside where she was just now, so she could only sit there.

She looked sideways. Shen Zhuowen stretched his body slightly, leaned his back on the sofa, and crossed his long legs casually. The smile on his face was just right and gentle, and he looked very approachable.

He didn't speak, it was Li Qiming who kept talking.

In order to close the relationship, he first explained how good the relationship between the two families was, then talked about the blind date process, and then talked about his apology for yesterday.

He seemed to be humble and humble, apologizing for yesterday's incident and explaining to Jiang Zhimiao, but in fact he was full of impetuous thoughts, and his words revealed the intention of joining the Shen family.

It was also at this moment that Jiang Zhimiao knew——

Li Qiming once interviewed Mr. Shen, but during the three interviews, he was rejected.

The waiter brought the coffee.

Jiang Zhimiao forced a smile on his face and reminded , " What you and Mr. Shen said are all trivial matters, so don't bother them. I remember that the company you work for now is not bad."

Li Qiming was about to speak.

She interrupted again, turned to look at Shen Zhuowen, and lowered her voice , " Mr. Shen, your coffee has arrived, why don't you go up first? Mr. Li came to see me after all, so I don't bother you to stay here for too long." It will take a long time, and the work will be delayed.”

It makes sense both emotionally and rationally.

Shen Zhuowen glanced sideways at Li Qiming.

Li Qiming's face was obviously unwilling, but on this occasion, he couldn't say anything and could only echo Jiang Zhimiao's words.

Then, he handed Shen Zhuowen his business card.

Shen Zhuowen glanced up and down, "Li Qiming? I remember it."

Li Qiming saw Jin Shen looking at him and nodded excitedly. He pulled Jiang Zhimiao in front of him and asked her to go back and work overtime with Shen Zhuowen.

Jiang Zhimiao took the opportunity to say goodbye to Li Qiming.

When she reached the elevator, she and Shen Zhuowen took the elevator up together.

Shen Zhuowen's voice suddenly rang in his ears , " Is this the blind date your family found for you?"

The sarcasm in his words was very obvious.
