Reborn and Counterattack: The CEO's Powerful Sweetheart

Chapter 1455: Chapter 1454: What Contract Did the General Manager Mention

At this thought, Gong Qingwan almost hated it to death. If back then, it wasn’t for that woman clinging to Li Quan, she could have had a son or daughter by now. If she had a son, there would be no need to fear Li Yan.

At that time, Gong Qingwan could have managed the Li Family wholly, controlling the company. Even if Li Yan was playing tricks, he wouldn’t be able to gain anything.

But some things, once passed, will never come again, especially having a son. Gong Qingwan is extremely resentful about this, running countless ’what ifs’ in her mind, yet there is no more ’if’.

Actually, after all these years without sons or daughters, in a sense, Gong Qingwan has gotten used to this pattern. The road is walked by herself, and even if she blames heaven or complains about the injustice of fate, it would do no good.

Thinking of this, Gong Qingwan simply gave Sheng Qingning a look, indicating that he could start taking action.

Sheng Qingning is a thoughtful person, and he has been brought up to this position by Gong Qingwan, always acting under her command.

”Manager Li, we can get to the main topic now, everyone is waiting.” Sheng Qingning’s words were not gentle but directly addressed to Li Yan. A keen observer would know this was a way of taking sides.

There are some things Gong Qingwan finds inconvenient to say, but Sheng Qingning can, because he is a deputy general manager within the company, eyeing the general manager’s position and eager to take it, so he’s not afraid of offending Li Yan.

Li Yan glanced at him and calmly said, ”There’s no hurry, what I want to say is, I just received a contract from someone. I see there’s something off about it, so I brought it here directly.”

Contract...

Upon hearing these words, many at the table were stunned. Originally, it was their back-up plan to catch Li Yan off guard or make him suffer a hidden loss without being able to speak up.

But who would have thought Li Yan would do the opposite, openly bringing the contract to discuss it, as if he intended to address it.

Sheng Qingning’s face darkened, and he said, ”What contract is the General Manager talking about...”

This is playing dumb while knowing full well. Sheng Qingning was the one who went to great lengths to get this contract on Li Yan’s desk, but now he denies it, as if he had never seen this contract, as if this matter had nothing to do with him.

This kind of behavior is indeed somewhat deceitful, but it fits Sheng Qingning’s character.

Li Yan lowered his eyelids, clearly showing an indifferent attitude and said, ”Some electronic equipment transfer, I don’t know what it exactly is, so I brought it over for everyone to take a look. If it’s an important contract, then I should sign it now. If it’s a mistake, I’ll correct it to avoid holding up things.”

Some things need to have a legitimate reason to act upon — they themselves know what sly thoughts they have.

In Li Yan’s mind, everything was clear, but couldn’t be spoken. Instead, he circled around the topic, using this method to warn them not to mess with things.

The others weren’t fools either. Li Yan already made his words so crystal clear, if they still didn’t understand what it meant, then that would be truly foolish.

”It should be... a mistake, it was supposed to be internally reviewed and somehow ended up on the General Manager’s desk. It’s probably because we’re too busy and didn’t take a good look...”

Wu Genmao casually came up with an excuse, treating Li Yan as if he were a three-year-old to fool him. But obviously, this is exactly how he viewed Li Yan.

Usually, there’s not much to fear, and now with Gong Qingwan backing him, it would be unusual if he were to fear Li Yan.
