Peerless Genius System Chapter 480 - Impress you

Chapter 480: Impress you

Xiao Luo offered Guan Tong a ride after they left the bar, but he declined. He said that his house was a short ten-minute walk away, and he would take this opportunity to take a stroll. The conversation ended there.

Although Xiao Luo got home rather late, Su Li did not interfere too much into his private life.

The next day, Xiao Luo learned from Luo Pingxiang that Su Li planned to start her own entertainment company. It had already been registered under the name “Liyue Media.” She had been busy planning for it recently.

“Why do you suddenly have this thought of starting your own company?”

Xiao Luo was curious, and he asked Su Li, who was drinking coffee elegantly on the sofa.

He viewed Su Li from her side profile, and with her snow-white skin, she was beautiful. Without looking up from the book in her hand, she replied, “I just felt like I wanted to take destiny into my own hands.”

Xiao Luo flashed a dumb-looking smile at her. This woman was really independent. He figured it was probably the public relations crisis and her trouble with Huangpu that gave her the idea of starting an entertainment company of her own.

He nodded in agreement. “You do have that capability, so that’s good,” he said, “By the way, where is Xiaobei?”

“Su Canye took her to Yinlong Villa. She will live there for a while.”

Su Li responded as she slipped a bookmark into the book’s page before closing it. She put her coffee aside, got up, looked at Xiao Luo, and said, “There is a banquet this afternoon. Accompany me there. There’s a senior I met when I was studying abroad. He is interested in becoming a shareholder.”

Xiao Luo looked a little confused. “You shouldn’t have any problems in terms of funding, why are you letting a foreigner take up shares in your company?” he asked.

Su Li pursed her lips and replied, “His family has a deep influence in the North American entertainment circle. If Liyue Media wants to penetrate the American market, then he would definitely be of help. Many complicated things can be made simpler.”

So, that’s why!

Xiao Luo suddenly realized that this woman’s foresight was excellent. She was actually thinking of penetrating the American market.

“Qingyan is also one of the shareholders,” Su Li added.

“That’s good, but in my opinion, your foreign senior might not be so forthright in his intention to join your company.”

Su Li frowned, “What do you mean?” she asked.

Xiao Luo raised his eyebrow, and with a chuckle, he said, “The heart of a wine lover is not in the gla.s.s.”

Su Li obviously knew what he meant, and her cheeks turned slightly red. Who’s to say that person did not have ulterior motives? “Which is why I asked you to accompany me,” she said.

“Me, to be your s.h.i.+eld?”

“So, are you going to do it?” Su Li said.

Su Li flashed her beautiful eyes at Xiao Luo, looking somewhat agitated. “He used to pursue me when we were studying abroad,” she declared.

Xiao Luo initially wanted to say that he would not attend if he didn’t see any benefit in it, but he inwardly felt slightly uncomfortable after hearing what she said. He coughed slightly and said, “I have no reason not to since there’s a free meal. How about this, I’ll head back to take a rest first. Let me know when you’re heading over.”

Xiao Luo then left for his apartment.

What arrogance! Was it so hard to admit that I was in his heart?

Su Li snorted as she watched him leave. Still, she felt his attempt at face-saving was rather cute and couldn’t help letting out a chuckle.

…

Su Li called Xiao Luo and asked him to be ready by four in the afternoon.

Shen Qingyan drove a Jaguar to pick them up. As soon as the two got in the car, she said, “Li, you and this guy really give off the married couple look. Huh, even your clothes are in the same style. It’s a bit like a couple’s outfit.”

Su Li’s cheeks flushed. “What nonsense! Hurry up and drive,” she said.

“How can I drive the car? This guy here is an employee of my company and I am in his boss. There is no reason for the boss to drive the employee around.”

Shen Qingyan got out of the car and opened the door of the backseat. With her finger, she gestured towards Xiao Luo and said, “Xiao Luo, what are you doing sitting there like Buddha? Quickly go and drive.”

“Are you not afraid that I will crash your luxurious car?” Xiao Luo quipped.

“You’re speaking nonsense to me. I know your driving skills. Besides, if you really crash the car then you can pay for it with the commission you earned previously,” Shen Qingyan said.

“….”

Xiao Luo was speechless and had no choice but to drive to the meeting.

Shen Qingyan and Su Li sat side by side. The former was in a blue dress while the latter was in a white dress. At first glance, the two beauties were really eye-catching. They were like a pair of lovely flowers—one, an orchid blooming in the night, and the other, a snow lotus that had been carved by ice crystals. Their beauty was beyond what mere mortals could attain.

After sitting in the driver’s seat for a while, Xiao Luo looked in the rearview mirror and asked, “At least tell me the destination.”

“Hengshan North Resort Hotel!” Shen Qingyan said.

“If you don’t know where that is then turn on the navigation.”

After saying that, she started chatting with Su Li on a woman’s favorite topics—bags, jewelry, cosmetics, clothes, and such.

Xiao Luo sneered at this and drove off gloomily.

They arrived at their destination after half an hour.

Hengshan North Resort Hotel was located to the north of Xiahai. It was regarded as a suburb, but the environment and its landscape were stunning. Not only did it have a vast golf course, but it also boasted a beautiful artificial lake. It was similar to the Bode Mountain Villa, which had a mountain on one side and a water feature on the other. This created a very inviting ambiance for visitors.

Xiao Luo saw a foreigner in a private room.

He had green eyes and blond hair. He wore a white s.h.i.+rt and looked self-a.s.sured, exuding a regal bearing.

“Sabrina!”

The foreigner smiled at Su Li and walked over to give her a hug. “It’s so nice to see you again. I haven’t seen you in a few years, it seems you are getting more and more beautiful and s.e.xy.”

He spoke fluent Chinese with an accent. He was tall, bearded, and had a glowing complexion. He was definitely prince charming in the hearts of many women.

“Thank you,” Su Li said.

She then introduced Shen Qingyan and said, “This is Shen Qingyan, the CEO of Huayao Group. You can call her by her English name, Demi. She is also one of the stockholders in Liyue Media.”

“h.e.l.lo there, my name is Leon. I am glad to meet you, beautiful Miss Demi,” Leon said, stretching out his hand toward Shen Qingyan like a gentleman.

“h.e.l.lo Mr. Leon, you’re better than what I heard through the grapevine. You really look extraordinary!” Shen Qingyan said, smiling and taking his hand.

“Miss Demi, you sure are good with words.”

Leon nodded with appreciation. He then looked at Xiao Luo and said, “Sabrina, who is this gentleman?”

Su Li walked up to Xiao Luo and said, “He is my husband, Xiao Luo.”

Xiao Luo was shocked and looked at Su Li with amazement. For the first time, he heard her speak with such a gentle tone telling others about their relations.h.i.+p. But since he was here as her s.h.i.+eld, he quickly got over it and tried to act natural.

“Oh? He is your husband?”

Leon looked very surprised. His expression changed, and there was a fleeting moment of hostility before he smiled again and said, “h.e.l.lo, Mr. Xiao!”

“Nice to meet you!”

Xiao Luo replied politely.

Leon didn’t’ even bother shaking his hand. He turned his gaze away and said to Su Li, “Sabrina, I chased you two years ago and couldn’t capture your heart, yet this Mr. Xiao succeeded. Can you satisfy my curiosity and tell me what he did to impress you?”
