"This..." Ning Bai hesitated for a moment and then said: "Brother Li, my father is old and I'm afraid I won't be able to come and invite you in person."
"Then I won't force myself and let's see the guests off." Li Jingchen said and glanced at the secretary.
The secretary directly called security and drove the Ning brothers and sisters out.
"Oh, please let me go!"
After Ning Xin shook off the security guard, she turned back to Ning Bai, who looked depressed, and said, "Brother, how about we persuade Daddy to come over and apologize to Brother Li?"
"What do you know? We are the same generation as Brother Li. If dad comes to apologize to him, wouldn't we be inferior to him?"
How can he discuss cooperation with the Li Group in the future? Just call him "uncle" when he sees Li Jingchen!
Ning Xin said "Oh" as if she understood, and then said: "But it was Daddy who did something wrong two years ago. It was he who betrayed Brother Li and the Li Group first!"
Ning Bai lowered his voice and said, "Then I said you were wrong in pushing Lu Wanwan into the sea. Are you willing to admit it?"
"...Of course I won't admit it." Ning Xin mumbled and asked, "What should we do now?"
Ning Bai said solemnly: "If it doesn't work, I will find other companies to join forces."
After finishing speaking, he pressed the elevator button.
Soon after, the elevator door opened, and the brother and sister happened to face Li Xiangchen inside.
The next second, Li Xiangchen showed a surprised expression and said, "Ning Bai, Ning Xin, when did you return to China?"
After Ning Bai was stunned for a moment, he said in greeting: "Second brother Li, Xin'er and I have been back to China for a while. Xin'er, why don't you call someone soon?"
But Ning Xin said carelessly: "Li Xiangchen, is it you? I heard that you have been doing well in the past two years, and you are finally no longer the illegitimate child that everyone hates!"
Ning Bai quickly shouted awkwardly: "Xin'er, stop saying a few words!"
"It's okay, Xin'er is still as cheerful and quick-talking as before."
Growing up, had he been called "illegitimate son" by Ning Xin too many times? Li Xiangchen thought to himself.
Ning Xin's likes and dislikes were all written on her face: "Don't call me Xin'er, it's disgusting!"
"Xin'er!" Ning Bai simply pulled her behind him, and then said to Li Xiangchen: "Second Young Master Li, do you have time now?"
Li Xiangchen originally intended to wait here. After hearing this, he nodded and said: "Of course, my office is downstairs. Please come."
Ning Xin asked secretly from behind: "Brother, what do you have to talk about with him?"
Ning Bai smiled and said nothing.
...
Inside Li Xiangchen's office.
After listening to Ning Bai's troubles, Li Xiangchen showed an empathic expression and said: "My eldest brother has always paid back every penny he spent, let alone the two of us. Even my younger brother, who is related by blood, has paid for everything over the years.
Are you still not accepted by him?"
After a pause, he continued to say to Ning Bai: "So, I can understand your feelings, and I will definitely help convince the board of directors to promote cooperation between Ning and Li on the deepwater port construction project."
Ning Bai's gray eyes finally became a little brighter: "Brother Li, are you telling the truth?"
Li Xiangchen smiled and said: "No matter how arbitrary the eldest brother is, the company does not belong to him alone. As long as the Ning family is strong, the board of directors has no reason to shut you out."
Ning Bai, who finally saw a glimmer of victory, couldn't help but excitedly said: "I also want to cooperate with others, so I have been looking for Brother Li!"
But at this moment, Ning Xin poured cold water on her: "Come on, brother, you come and beg him for things that Brother Li doesn't agree with. What if you make Brother Li angry?"
Hearing this, Li Xiangchen looked at her with a smile: "After all these years, Ning Xin still likes my eldest brother?"
