Chapter 55: Isn’t This a Slap in the Face?
Li Qingying cast a cold glance at Li Dasong but said nothing.
That day at work, she felt miserable, constantly mocked by Li Dasong and his cronies.
“Haha, Vice President Li Qingying is off work! How hilarious, coming to work on an electric scooter,” Li Dasong’s subordinate jeered, rallying his own group to join in.
Listening to the ridicule from Li Dasong’s followers, Li Qingying remained expressionless and turned to look for He Haoxuan.
He would surely be waiting for her in advance—she wondered if, upon seeing these people, he would lash out and hit them.
Given his fiery temper, he might indeed act.
Now, Li Dasong was hoping He Haoxuan would make a move so the police could arrest him.
No, I must stop He Haoxuan, I can’t let him do something rash.
But as Li Qingying looked ahead, she saw no sign of He Haoxuan, and a faint sense of disappointment washed over her.
So she had been mistaken—he wasn’t in a hurry for her, nor would he be waiting for her in advance.
Suddenly, a voice sounded from behind: “Honey, are you looking for me?”
“You—where did you just go? I didn’t see you anywhere,” Li Qingying felt warmth in her heart upon seeing He Haoxuan, but she kept her face deliberately cold.
“Sorry, I was in a hurry, so I went to the restroom,” He Haoxuan apologized quickly. “From now on, when I’m waiting for you, even if the sky falls, I won’t leave, not even for the restroom.”
Li Qingying felt a sweet warmth inside. “You don’t have to go that far. If you have something to do, just tell me and I can take a cab home myself.”
“No way! No matter how busy I am, I’ll always drive my wife home,” He Haoxuan replied shamelessly.
“He Haoxuan, are you planning to take Li Qingying home on your electric scooter? What a joke, you useless fool!” Li Dasong mocked.
Suddenly, Li Dasong looked around and noticed that He Haoxuan’s scooter was nowhere to be seen. He frowned in confusion. “Hey, He Haoxuan, where’s your scooter? Don’t tell me someone stole it?”
“Yeah, where’s your scooter?” Li Qingying asked, worried. Could it have been stolen while He Haoxuan was in the restroom?
He Haoxuan simply smiled, saying nothing.
“The loser’s scooter got stolen—he must be bleeding inside, and he’ll probably cry his eyes out when he gets home,” Li Dasong was even more infuriated seeing He Haoxuan still smiling.
His cronies immediately flattered him: “Look, our President Li is driving a BMW X5 now. In three years, he’ll be driving an X7 for sure!”
“That’s right! With my abilities, in three years I’ll definitely be driving one of those BMWs,” Li Dasong shouted, pointing at the BMW X7 nearby.
He Haoxuan smiled again and pressed the key in his hand.
The BMW’s alarm chirped, and the headlights flashed brightly.
“Hey, the owner of the BMW X7 is here! Move aside, don’t block the esteemed guest!” Li Dasong shouted in delight.
His chance had come—if he could get acquainted with such a big shot, he’d have a powerful ally.
Li Dasong hurriedly ordered his subordinates to clear the way, barking, “Stand straight! Show the strength of our Baili Group team. Only then will the big shots notice us and want to collaborate.”
Wasn’t it because someone noticed Li Qingying that she could work with Quange Trade?
If he were a woman, he could easily attract huge investments. Not just a hundred million—even two hundred million would be no trouble.
The employees lined up neatly on the right.
But after waiting a while, Li Dasong didn’t see anyone approach the BMW X7. He asked in confusion, “Where is the big shot? Why aren’t they coming over?”
“Yeah, President Li, none of us saw the owner of the BMW X7,” his sycophants nodded.
Li Dasong scolded angrily, “What are you rushing for? Big shots don’t appear so easily. If we wait patiently, they’ll show up eventually.”
“That’s right, President Li is absolutely correct. How could the big shot be so easy to meet? If we’re patient, we’ll see the clouds part and the moon shine through,” Ma Rong, his chief flatterer, chimed in, living up to his nickname.
Li Qingying didn’t want to wait any longer. She whispered to He Haoxuan, “Where’s your scooter? Bring it over and let’s go home.”
“Honey, follow me,” He Haoxuan took her hand and led her toward the BMW X7.
Li Dasong saw them heading for the BMW X7 and shouted furiously, “He Haoxuan, don’t go near the big shot’s car!”
“Yeah, if you damage it, can you afford to pay?” Ma Rong jumped behind him.
He Haoxuan ignored these clowns and opened the passenger door for Li Qingying. “Honey, get in.”
“You—” Li Qingying panicked.
What was He Haoxuan doing? This was someone else’s car—how could he open the door for her to get in?
If the owner called the police, they’d be in trouble.
“Ma Rong, get ready to call the police. If He Haoxuan drives the car, call the cops,” Li Dasong sneered.
He Haoxuan shot Li Dasong a disdainful look. “Idiot! Can’t I drive my own car?”
“Your car? Ha! What a joke!” Li Dasong laughed wildly. “He Haoxuan, even if it’s electronic ignition, you need the key nearby. If you’re so capable, start the car!”
He Haoxuan slid into the driver’s seat and reached to start the engine.
Li Qingying worried, “He Haoxuan, I know you’re doing this for me, to humiliate them, but you can’t use someone else’s car to show off. This is a car worth millions—if the owner calls the police, we’ll be in big trouble.”
He Haoxuan smiled. “Honey, it really is our car. Buckle up, we’re going home.”
With that, he pressed the electronic ignition, and the BMW X7 started.
“You really drove this car here?” Li Qingying saw the key beside him and finally believed.
The BMW’s anti-theft system was excellent—without the key, it wouldn’t start.
Li Dasong and his group, waiting outside for a spectacle, watched as He Haoxuan really started the BMW X7. They were dumbfounded, unable to believe their eyes.
How could this be? Was He Haoxuan actually the big shot? What a blow to their pride!
Moments ago, they mocked him as a useless fool, and now he was driving a BMW X7.
Li Dasong slapped Ma Rong across the face. Ma Rong, his face twisted in misery, protested, “President Li, why did you hit me?”
