I've Already Snagged a Top-tier Goddess at the Start; I'm Incredibly Wealthy!

27: A gentleman helps others achieve their goals.”You’re too kind, Mr. Cao. This tea is very fragrant and mellow.” Li Na picked up the teacup, took a gentle sip, her posture elegant and impeccable.

She put down the teacup and looked at Cao Lang with a frank gaze, showing no trace of nervousness.

”What aspects about me would you like to know, Mr. Cao? As long as I can answer, I will tell you the truth.”

Although Li Na was eight years older than Cao Lang, time had been kind to this beauty. At 35, a woman’s experience reaches its peak, her appearance still holds up well, one of the confident golden ages.

Moreover, Li Na was well-traveled and had received all kinds of big bosses. In her eyes, Cao Lang was no different from those ordinary bosses.

As for Cao Lang facing Li Na, he was still a greenhorn. One wrong move, and he could easily expose his lack of depth.

But Cao Lang had a huge trump card: the System.

With the System in hand, the world is mine!

I don’t care if you’re an aloof goddess or an ethereal fairy who abstains from worldly affairs. I only have one trick: use money to smash my way through. If I really can’t win you over, I’ll just find another. The forest is vast, why hang myself from a single tree?

Cao Lang leaned back on the sofa, crossed his legs, and unabashedly looked her up and down:

”I see Miss Li Na has an extraordinary temperament and outstanding ability. How could you have been content staying as a secretary in a small law firm all this time? Also, I’d like to ask, do you have a Boyfriend?”

Li Na seemed to have anticipated Cao Lang’s question long ago. She smiled slightly, smoothed the hair by her ear, and replied unhurriedly:

”You flatter me, Mr. Cao. I’m just an ordinary secretary, simply doing my job well. I’m not as outstanding as you say. Besides, Lawyer Robin showed me great kindness by recognizing my talent, so how could I casually job-hop?”

”As for relationships...” Li Na paused, her beautiful eyes shifting, and said with a hint of stubbornness, ”To be honest, I have indeed met many men with good conditions, including bosses with substantial wealth.”

”But I have a bit of an emotional cleanliness quirk. I hope my other half genuinely cares for me, that we can support each other and grow together. Not just because of my looks, or treat me as an accessory.”

These words were spoken very frankly.

Cao Lang could feel Li Na’s immense sincerity.

The meaning seemed to be: if you want to pursue me, you must be devoted.

In communication with others, sincerity is the ultimate weapon.

This was also why Li Na gave people a feeling of outstanding ability.

However, Cao Lang had another divine tool! It could test the truth of Li Na’s words: the Heart Sound Listening Card, gifted by the system when unlocking the [Millionaire] tag. It still had two uses left.

Whether you’re a gold-digger isn’t determined by what you say, but by what you think subconsciously.

But there’s no hurry; using it a bit later would be more effective.

”It’s a pity, but someone who meets my requirements has never appeared.” Li Na spread her hands. ”Since I can’t meet the right person, I don’t want to force myself. My salary is enough to support my life, and I live quite well like this. So, I’ll stay single for now.”

These words made her sound very noble, and even Cao Lang believed it. He even felt a sense of distance, thinking that even with all the money in the world, he might not be able to win over the woman before him.

”Speaking of which, I should thank you, Mr. Cao.” Li Na’s tone was sincere.

”If you hadn’t stepped in to buy Lawyer Robin’s shares in time, our law firm might have really been acquired. Then I would have been unemployed, and it’s hard to say if I could find another boss like Lawyer Robin who respects subordinates and values only ability.”

Hearing this, Cao Lang felt a slight stir inside.

He had a feeling that this Li Na rated Robin too highly. A man’s intuition told him that this woman and Robin had an unusual relationship.

Could they be having an affair?

As the saying goes, when there’s work, the secretary does it; when there’s no work, the boss does the secretary.

Robin, as the company founder, held a high position, was handsome, and had a beautiful secretary by his side. Could he really have no ulterior motives?

But Li Na’s experience was indeed t0, which indicated Robin hadn’t succeeded.

Cao Lang chose to use the Heart Sound Listening Card.

[Heart Sound Listening Card: Can listen to a woman’s inner thoughts for free three times (two uses remaining)]

Let’s see what this seemingly perfect secretary is really thinking deep down.

[Ding! Heart Sound Listening Card used successfully. Reading target’s inner thoughts...]

The next second, a slightly complaining female voice sounded in Cao Lang’s mind:

[Ah, so annoying, encountered a lecherous boss. Yesterday, the little girlfriend he brought to the firm was so pretty, today he’s changed to an even prettier one. Hmph, so fickle.]

[He asked if I have a Boyfriend, could he be trying to sexually harass me? If he wants to keep me as a mistress, what should I do? Should I tactfully refuse first, or pretend to agree and then run away? If only Robin were my Boyfriend, he could stand up for me!!! Kitty punches, beat the fickle boss to death.]

[He’s far worse than Robin. But why can’t Robin see my feelings? Oh well, forget it. As long as I can stay by his side and see him overcome his difficulties sooner, I’ll be content.]

Hearing Li Na’s inner voice, Cao Lang couldn’t help but laugh silently.

This woman, seemingly intellectual and elegant, appearing strong and independent, had a little girl living deep inside her heart, with a very cute and playful tone.

Interesting, truly interesting.

This kind of woman would definitely bring prosperity to her husband, pure-hearted and outstanding in ability. Whoever married such a woman must have saved the galaxy in a past life.

Additionally.

Her relationship with Robin was unrequited love. Only she liked him, but he was unaware of her feelings.

Cao Lang picked up his teacup and took a sip of tea without showing any expression.

He could feel that this woman pursued spiritual fulfillment. She didn’t have high material demands.

Just then, Cao Lang’s phone vibrated, the screen lit up. It was a message from Chen Yongqiu: a bank card number and a long string of heart emojis.

Cao Lang raised an eyebrow. It seemed Li Meng was quite efficient. Seeing the purchase contract Li Meng sent, the final price was over fifty million.

Buy it!

This was a perfect opportunity to spend money.

Chen Yongqiu had also shown sincerity; he had taken everything from her, so a large flat was what she deserved.

His fingers flew across the screen without the slightest hesitation, transferring fifty million in several installments.

[Ding! Host successfully spent fifty million for another person, successfully triggered cashback, assets exceeded one hundred million.]

After transferring the money, Cao Lang put down his phone, his gaze returning to Li Na. He pondered for a long time.

The woman before him had a smile at the corner of her mouth, her plump, beautiful legs encased in flesh-colored stockings placed diagonally in front, quietly waiting for Cao Lang to ask the next question.

Cao Lang felt some regret. As the saying goes, a gentleman does not take what others cherish.

Although Cao Lang’s name contained the character ’Cao’, he had always believed in mutual consent. The experiences of the past few days had long since dispelled any mystique about women for him. Li Na was good, but since she already had someone in her heart, let it be.

The system had many more rewards; he wasn’t lacking this one.

Forced melons aren’t sweet.

”Li Na, wanting to poach you as my secretary isn’t just an appreciation of your ability, but also an appreciation of you as a person.”

”Since you’ll be my secretary, the responsibilities you shoulder will also be heavy. You need to be prepared for this! I don’t welcome mere ornaments here.”

”If you feel tired, you can resign to me at any time. I will let you return to Robin’s side.”

Hearing this, Li Na’s expression turned solemn. Her already straight back became even more upright as she entered serious mode.

This boss before her was really changeable, with a decisive and efficient way of doing things.

Sure enough, Cao Lang’s next words made her feel the task was daunting.

”Now, you, Li Na, are fully authorized to represent me, Cao Lang, in acquiring all the shares of the Quanjing Law Firm. The specific amount is for you to negotiate.”

Li Na asked uncertainly, ”Any amount is fine? Are there any specific limits?”

”No limits. Also, don’t acquire Robin’s shares. He will remain as the chief lawyer, retaining 25% of the shares.” Cao Lang said calmly.

”Why not acquire Lawyer Robin’s?” Li Na was somewhat puzzled.

”A gentleman helps others achieve their dreams. That’s for your sake.” Cao Lang gave Li Na a meaningful look.

Li Na felt as if Cao Lang had seen through her thoughts, a rare blush flying to her cheeks.
