I Was Stuck on the Same Day For a Thousand Years - Chapter 63

Chapter 63: Li Ruobing is so Shocked!

Li Ruobing really wanted to ask Wu Chen why he didn’t tell her in advance.

Because Wu Chen didn’t say anything, Tao Manying came and was blocked at the front desk! She almost didn’t even see anyone!

But because of the presence of outsiders, it was impossible for Li Ruobing to really question him. She knew that Wu Chen must understand the meaning of her call, but Wu Chen actually replied “Oh”?

“Oh?!!”

This word used alone was quite normal more than ten years ago, but it could be said to be very irritating when it was used like this now!

Li Ruobing’s brows trembled, as if she didn’t heard what Wu Chen said, and continued, “Well, my dear, I’ll be busy first.”

After she finished speaking, she hung up the phone naturally, as if her conversation with Wu Chen went well.

“Boss Li and her husband really love each other, it’s really enviable.” Tao Manying said at the right time.

Of course she didn’t know whether Li Ruobing was married or not. She didn’t even know who Li Ruobing’s man and godfather Lei Cheng called the good brother. Lei Cheng told her yesterday that he was helping a good brother and his wife’s company.

Lei Cheng didn’t tell her too much details, but told her what to do, and didn’t even let her stay with him overnight. He was in a hurry, as if there was something urgent to do.

After Tao Manying met Li Ruobing today, she knew that a woman like Li Ruobing would not be easily subdued by a man, and she was from the Li family with a very large background, so it was impossible for her to be someone’s mistress.

Therefore, she subconsciously thought that it was Li Ruobing’s husband who was looking for her godfather to do things!

She didn’t think it was her boyfriend, because godfather’s brother was not too young, he must be in his thirties, right? Li Ruobing would be thirty years old in a few years, so they wouldn’t just be in a relationship, right?

Marriage was normal!

With different circles, it was impossible for Tao Manying to know too much about the Li family and Li Ruobing, but she heard a little.

“Husband?” Li Ruobing looked strange for a moment in surprise, and didn’t know what to think of, and then said, “Miss Tao misunderstood, we are not married yet. We are currently in love, and we are boyfriend-girlfriend.”

“Ah… sorry, sorry, I’m really sorry.” Tao Manying apologized, knowing that she had misunderstood.

“It doesn’t matter, our relationship is very stable, and we will get married sooner or later.” Li Ruobing said, and then asked, “By the way, I haven’t asked Ms. Tao yet, how did you and my family… know each other?”

Wu Chen said yesterday that he didn’t know Tao Manying.

Now, Li Ruobing thought Wu Chen was lying.

How could he find someone in one day if he didn’t know him?

Not only did she feel that Wu Chen had lied, but she also absolutely believed that Wu Chen had set her up so that she could make a bet with him.

A bet was a bet, and Li Ruobing admitted that even if she lost, it’s worth it for the company.

It’s not a loss to give Wu Chen 20 million. Li Ruobing didn’t think she would be jealous. After all, she was not really in love with Wu Chen.

But the bet had been increased once…

If she lost, she would kneel down and admit her mistake.

So if Li Ruobing wanted to set Tao Manying up now, if Wu Chen could be proved to be lying, then the bet could be overturned. Li Ruobing would still give the money, she just didn’t want to kneel down!

Li Ruobing was not the kind of person who would renege on debts.

She just felt that… Wu Chen must have lied to her!

“We… we don’t know each other,” Tao Manying said.

“You don’t know him? Didn’t he ask you to come?” Li Ruobing’s expression suddenly changed.

“Yes… well, my godfather asked me to come. My godfather and Ms. Li’s boyfriend are brothers. He found my godfather, and my godfather asked me to come.” Tao Manying said.

She was raised by Lei Cheng.

But the age gap, and being in the entertainment industry was easy to have such scandals, so Tao Manying said that Lei Cheng was her godfather.

“Your godfather… Boss Lei?” Li Ruobing knew who it was right away.

Of course she knew Lei Cheng’s existence! She also knew that Lei Cheng was Tao Manying’s financial backer. This kind of thing was not a secret at all to a big man with enough power, not even a big secret in the entertainment industry.

Few stars were actually clean.

And Lei Cheng’s praise of others couldn’t always be hidden.

“Yes, it’s him.” Tao Manying nodded.

Li Ruobing frowned slightly, Wu Chen actually knew Lei Cheng? Brother?

When did this happen?

Li Ruobing and Lei Cheng had never been in contact, but she knew that this person, the second son of Hongfa Lei’s family, Lei Zhenghui’s youngest son, left the family and came to Donghai because he failed in the family’s internal struggle.

In Li Ruobing’s perception, Lei Cheng was a very, very low-key rich man who rarely socialized with people, and it could even be said that he was not very easy to contact. Anyone who wanted to take the initiative to contact him usually aroused his suspicion.

She heard that he was plotted by his elder brother and almost died, so he lived very cautiously these years!

“Ms. Li, is your boyfriend’s surname Wu?” Seeing that Li Ruobing’s expression was not right, Tao Manying asked.

She didn’t know Wu Chen’s full name, but she knew his surname, because Lei Cheng mentioned “Brother Wu” when he was talking to her.

“Yes!” Li Ruobing nodded.

“That’s right.” Tao Manying smiled, “It seems that you don’t know how your boyfriend found me. I guess, it may be that Mr. Wu wants to surprise you, Ms. Li!”

“Haha, he has a good heart.” Li Ruobing also smiled.

The words came out like this, but Li Ruobing was… surprised?!

This was indeed a surprise, but it also contained fright!

Li Ruobing wanted to see Wu Chen very much now, and then pinch Wu Chen’s neck and ask, what’s going on?!

In the next hour or so, Li Ruobing stopped talking. She would definitely ask Wu Chen later, but it’s important to get down to business!

Li Ruobing introduced to Tao Manying the company situation and the new product launch event to Tao Manying.

She also asked about Tao Manying’s schedule, saying that if the follow-up promotion conflicted with Tao Manying’s schedule, Symphony could adjust it.

But what Li Ruobing didn’t expect was that Tao Manying agreed to everything, and Symphony didn’t need to change the schedule. She would fully cooperate.

Even when Li Ruobing mentioned the issue of endorsement fees, Tao Manying didn’t mention it. Instead, she asked Li Ruobing to quote, and mentioned that “we are all friends, and the friendship price is fine. I can’t ask for too much.”

Li Ruobing was so shocked!

Wu Chen and Lei Cheng, brothers? What brother? The kind that kowtowed and bowed to each other?!

The process of negotiating and signing the contract was extremely smooth!

Before ten o’clock in the morning, Tao Manying officially signed the endorsement contract with Symphony Fashion. Li Ruobing originally wanted to give her the full endorsement fee. It was all favors. Since it was Wu Chen’s favor, if she used it, she would owe Wu Chen.

But Tao Manying just agreed, so she didn’t need that much, so the final endorsement fee was equivalent to the price of a first-line female star, which didn’t match Tao Manying’s current popularity.

Tao Manying left after signing the contract because she had to catch a plane back to film.

Li Ruobing personally sent Tao Manying downstairs.

It’s all set. Tao Manying would come back in a week. Before the press conference, she would shoot the promotional materials and promotional videos. She would also come to the Symphony Fashion during the press conference.

After seeing off Tao Manying, Li Ruobing hurried back to her office.

As soon as she sat down, he picked up his mobile phone and dialed Wu Chen’s number.

After waiting for more than ten seconds, Wu Chen answered.

“Where are you? Come to the company,” Li Ruobing said directly.

“I’m busy, I don’t have time. I’ll go at noon.” Wu Chen replied, with a strange breathing rhythm.

“Huh? Where are you?” Li Ruobing asked again.

At this moment, Li Ruobing vaguely heard a woman’s voice in the background of Wu Chen, “Sir, is this comfortable?”

Li Ruobing stood up all of a sudden, and then asked, “Where are you?”
