69: I don't buy funds!

He Ting also noticed her father and Li Cheng coming out of the bank.

Her face lit up with joy.

Since Chen Qiu wasn't here to pester her, but rather to disgust her, she didn't have to worry about Li Cheng seeing him.

On the contrary, she could use Li Cheng to ruthlessly stomp on Chen Qiu.

"Manager Li!"

The moment she turned around, her voice instantly became coquettish, and her expression was a mix of joy and adoration.

Chen Qiu was amazed by the sight.

And she still claims she isn't a KTV hostess!

With this level of professional skill, Chen Qiu felt she could compete for top sales in any business KTV!

Before Li Cheng and He Yongliang could arrive, He Ting strode forward on her long legs.

"Manager Li~"

She expertly hooked her arm into Li Cheng's, pressing her upper body completely against him.

However, He Ting vaguely sensed that something was off.

In the past, whenever she pressed against him, Li Cheng would instinctively wrap his arm around her waist, his hands restlessly resting on her buttocks.

Yet this time, the moment she pressed against him, she discovered that Li Cheng's body was incredibly rigid.

It seemed like he was even struggling to pull his arm out from her embrace?

How could she allow that!

She was still planning to use Li Cheng to step on Chen Qiu!

"Manager Li, you've been chatting with Bank Manager Feng for so long, and I've been bullied by someone!"

Sure enough, as soon as she finished speaking, Li Cheng's hand stopped moving.

He Ting was instantly delighted.

Manager Li really does love me!

"Manager Li, it's this guy. He's clearly just a loser, but he likes to act tough..."

Before she could finish her sentence, a massive force suddenly pushed her away.

He Ting stumbled back a few steps and nearly fell to the ground. She looked up at Li Cheng, dumbfounded, only to find that his face was already livid.

Li Cheng was filled with regret!

If looks could kill, he would have chopped He Yongliang and his daughter into mincemeat!

This is what you called friends?

He hadn't even stood still yet, and this woman was already clinging to him, and he couldn't even pull his arm out from her grasp!

He was a Deputy General Manager of the Engineering Department, and here he was hugging and cuddling with the daughter of a small construction contractor. Wasn't this practically writing "power-for-sex trade" all over his face?!

And what He Ting said next made him feel like fainting.

You call a young man with a background so terrifying that he could be parachuted in as the Group President a loser?

He Ting dared to say it, but he didn't even dare to listen!

He hurriedly pushed He Ting away, his mind racing.

Li Cheng was thinking about how to quickly distance himself from He Yongliang and his daughter.

"President Chen..."

Just as he opened his mouth to address Chen Qiu, the latter's light, airy words reached his ears.

"No wonder Manager Li likes to run to the bank every other day."

"So it wasn't to discuss business, but to visit a business KTV!"

As soon as these words fell, cold sweat instantly broke out on Li Cheng.

"President Chen, you've misunderstood!"

"I came to the bank to discuss loan matters with Bank Manager Feng!"

"This woman is just my account manager at the bank; she often pesters me to buy some funds and trusts, and I find it extremely annoying!"

Li Cheng didn't hesitate to distance himself from He Ting.

He was smart enough not to lie, but only told a partial truth!

He Ting was indeed his account manager, and Li Cheng had indeed bought some funds and trusts from her!

Their meetings took place either in his private suite that few knew about, or in a secret conference room in the bank without surveillance.

He had always been very careful in this regard, so he judged that it was highly unlikely for Chen Qiu to obtain substantive evidence of his relationship with He Ting!

He Ting and He Yongliang, who were standing nearby, were completely dumbfounded.

The former, seeing Li Cheng acting so respectfully towards Chen Qiu, had her brain completely crash.

"Manager Li, we were just..."

She instinctively reached out to grab Li Cheng's hand, but was rudely slapped away by him.

"I'm not buying any funds, I'm not buying them!"

He Ting trembled at Li Cheng's roar.

Watching Li Cheng's performance, Chen Qiu almost laughed out loud.

He was truly a seasoned veteran; although the emotional transition was slightly clumsy, his acting was decent!

Especially that sense of conviction—it was simply off the charts!

Someone who didn't know better would think He Ting had forced him to buy a fortune in funds!

"Hey, Manager Li, don't be too hard on her right in front of the bank."

"She's just trying to earn a little extra income, which is why she's going to such lengths, right, Manager Li?"

Hearing Chen Qiu's words, which carried a hidden meaning, Li Cheng felt his temples throbbing.

His eye twitched uncontrollably, and he smiled with a somewhat stiff expression.

"Even so, one shouldn't engage in irregular operations."

"Manager Li is right."

Chen Qiu patted his shoulder and nodded with a smile.

To the side, He Ting was still somewhat bewildered and wanted to step forward again, but was pulled back by He Yongliang.

He had also realized something by now.

Those things He Ting said earlier were hardly the words of a friend to Chen Qiu; they were more like those of an enemy.

At this moment, he couldn't ask his daughter how she had offended Chen Qiu; he only wondered if there was still a chance to struggle and salvage the situation.

He Yongliang stepped forward with a fawning smile.

"President Chen..."

No sooner had he started speaking than he was directly interrupted by Li Cheng.

"Isn't that Bank Manager Feng!"

Li Cheng looked towards a middle-aged man not far away with a look of surprise!

"Bank Manager Feng!"

"Let me introduce you. This is our Group's new President, Chen Qiu, President Chen!"

Upon hearing this, Feng Ye also stepped forward in surprise and shook hands with Chen Qiu with a warm, spring-breeze-like demeanor.

"I have long heard of President Chen's reputation. You truly are a young talent!"

During this period, who didn't know that the Cultural Industry Group had a new President under the age of thirty parachuted in?

As a key project that had received much attention in the city, the fact that such a situation had occurred—how terrifying must the power behind this Chen Qiu be?

Compared to that, a single Cultural Industry Park was nothing!

If he could befriend him, would he, Feng Ye, still be limited to being a branch manager in a prefecture-level city?

"Hello, Bank Manager Feng. The Cultural Industry Park project will also have loan needs in the later stages. I will have to rely on you then, Bank Manager Feng."

Chen Qiu also said with a smile, exchanging pleasantries.

The three of them chatted back and forth, completely treating He Ting and He Yongliang, the father and daughter, as if they were invisible.

He Yongliang's fawning expression remained frozen on his face, but from the moment he had been actively interrupted by Li Cheng, his heart had already gone stone-cold.

Looking at his daughter, who still hadn't figured out the situation, he wished he could slap her across the face to wake her up!

At this moment.

It was time for the bank to close, and Xu Jia's tall figure walked out from inside.

From behind her, the roar of Director Lu Tao could vaguely be heard: "Did I say you could leave work?"

Xu Jia ignored it, her eyes immediately scanning for Chen Qiu's presence.

Upon seeing his figure, Xu Jia's tense expression immediately relaxed.

A flower-like smile blossomed on her face!
