After I Became Famous, the CEO Wants Remarriage-Chapter 76 - Spending a Fortune for a Beloved Woman
Chapter 76: Chapter 76 Spending a Fortune for a Beloved Woman
As a leading multinational conglomerate in Imperial City, Li Group’s annual tax payment starts from billions.
Such a business is very concerned about its reputation and is happy to engage in charity work, taking on corresponding social responsibilities each year and investing in some more positive activity projects.
For example, promoting traditional chess culture or jade carving competitions.
Li Lingyang originally planned to sign off casually after a glance but unexpectedly saw the Jade Carving Heritage Competition.
“This is a newly added contest, the organizers have approached both us and Beiji Group, hoping we can each invest 15 million…” the marketing manager immediately explained.
Hearing the words “Beiji Group,” an image of Mo Baiyou’s annoying face appeared in Li Lingyang’s mind, and his aura became even colder. “Beiji Group is also planning to invest?”
...
“Yes, because Beiji has recommended a contestant.”
Is the President acting this way because his fiancée is sick?
Wow, his aura is too terrifying!
Li Lingyang opened the official website for the heritage competition and found the published list of contestants. Looking at the familiar names on the list, a mocking cold arc formed on his lips.
Investing and recommending a contestant, isn’t it necessary to avoid impropriety?
Li Lingyang sneered and, with a wave of his hand, directly changed the investment amount to 50 million.
“Tell the organizers that Li Group will add an additional 20 million for exclusive naming rights!”
The marketing manager was shocked. Huh, the President is so generous?
“Alright, President, I will go and coordinate the response immediately!”
“Wait.” The marketing manager was about to leave when the cold voice of the man behind him called out.
The manager stuttered, “President, do you have any further instructions?”
“I will personally attend the competition this year.”
“Yes…” This was a trivial matter. The manager bolted, bumping into Special Assistant Xu on his way to report on work, looking so pleased with himself that Special Assistant Xu couldn’t help but wonder if the President was in a better mood.
However, as soon as he entered the door and caught a glimpse of the cold side profile of the man in the big office chair, his breathing tightened.
“President Li, we have news about the hacker King.”
At that, Li Lingyang’s handsome face took on a more ominous look, and he slowly lifted his head, “What’s his background?”
“According to our current investigation, he has made quite a name for himself in the European hacking community over the past year but keeps a very low profile, never attending public gatherings. He mainly frequents well-known hacking forums and has even helped save a number of companies on the brink of bankruptcy with some White Knights…”
“So, he’s a hacker with a sense of justice?” Li Lingyang’s thin lips curled into a mocking arc, derisively asking, “Any photos?”
“Uh, what’s strange is that he never shows his true face. When others in the forum ask about his age during internal hacker exchanges, he even claims to be three years old…” Isn’t that just playing with people?
What kind of three-year-old hacker could be so capable?
Probably some eccentric genius hacker; there’s often only a thin line between genius and madness!
“Coy and evasive!” Li Lingyang naturally would not believe such absurd humor. His gaze hardened as he commanded sternly, “Keep the technical department on it. The moment he surfaces again, immediately locate and track him.”
“Yes.”
After Special Assistant Xu left, Li Lingyang stood alone in front of the large floor-to-ceiling windows for a long time.
The hacker was just someone standing up for Ning Yichu. He wasn’t to be feared.
The most important thing at the moment was that child…
If his mother wasn’t Ning Yichu, it could only be the mysterious woman with whom he had a brief spring breeze back then!
She had raised Chen Bao to this age and suddenly appeared, God knows what schemes she has…
But the only clue at the moment is that bank card with a hundred million on it. Likely, the other party knows they’re monitoring the card, which is why there has been no movement of the funds inside for so long.
Li Lingyang picked up his phone and dialed Mu Bailang’s number, his tone resonant and cold, “Help me with something.”
…
Meanwhile, in a private hospital.
Shen Jiangqing leaned against a soft pillow, but her mood was extremely foul.
She fantasized that she had fallen ill, and Li Lingyang came to take care of her every day, leaving him no time to bother with that vixen Ning Yichu…
But somehow, it seemed she had become the one left waiting alone?
Whenever Li Lingyang came, it was as if he were merely fulfilling a task, occasionally making a phone call to check in or showing up briefly before leaving again. Yet every time she called his office, he was busy…
She couldn’t cling to him excessively either.
The more she thought about it, the more angry she became, to the point she nearly smashed the hospital room.
Shen Jun held a bouquet of flowers to visit her, and upon seeing the mess in the ward, he was startled, “Holy shit, were you robbed?”
Shen Jiangqing glared at him fiercely, forcibly reining in her emotions to sit back on the bed. Yet, under the falling light, her facial expressions seemed somewhat twisted and fierce.
“Cough, I came to bring you news, that doctor from Europe, I’ve made contact…”
At these words, Shen Jiangqing’s face abruptly lifted, “You’ve made contact? What did he say?”
She only blamed herself for being too entangled in various affairs after giving birth to Chengcheng, not paying attention to the life and death of Ning Yichu’s child back then. Now it was too late for regrets.
Shen Jun shook his head darkly, “The doctor said he’s never seen a woman so reckless—she charged into the fire and rescued them.”
“Both children were saved?”
“Yes! A boy and a girl…”
“Damn it, I knew that bastard child belonged to Ning Yichu, but why wouldn’t she let the child recognize his ancestry?”
Shen Jiangqing clenched her fists sinisterly, feeling increasingly troubled by the complexities of the situation.
The presence of a boy meant competition with Chengcheng for the inheritance rights.
What was more troubling was that a sizable share of Li Group was in the hands of that old hag from the Li Family. If she favored Ning Yichu and gave her shares directly to Chen Bao… Shen Jiangqing couldn’t dare think further; she couldn’t sit by and wait for these things to happen.
Seeing her agitation, Shen Jun hesitantly said, “I haven’t dealt much with that woman Ning Yichu, but I think since she never mentioned being pregnant during her divorce, she might not hand over the child to Li Lingyang…”
“Even so, I can’t just wait to die! Wait… you said Aling knew early on that Ningning was Ning Yichu’s daughter, could he have already done a paternity test with her?” Shen Jiangqing suddenly thought of something, losing her composure.
“Don’t scare yourself! If he had done it, wouldn’t he have brought that damn girl back to the Li Family long ago?” Shen Jun’s eyelids twitched violently as he quickly tried to soothe her.
Shen Jiangqing soothed her brow, also feeling the possibility was unlikely, and asked, “What has Ning Yichu been up to lately?”
“It seems like she’s entered some competition, something called the ‘Jade Carving Heritage Contest’?”
“Competition…” Shen Jiangqing’s eyes darkly circled, “She actually has the mood to enter a contest? Seems like she really doesn’t plan to reveal that little boy.”
“Sister, should we also ‘take care of’ that wench Ningning?”
“No.” A malicious glint crossed Shen Jiangqing’s brooding gaze, “I’ve just had a better idea.”
The source of this c𝓸ntent is frёeweɓηovel.coɱ.
Even if the little girl was brought back home, it was no big deal and wouldn’t affect Chengcheng’s status.
But conversely, if the little boy really was Ning Yichu’s son, it meant he and Ningning were twins. In other words, she could use Ningning as bait to draw out this little boy.
However, given the serious implications, even a slight misstep could reveal that the two were siblings, so she had to plan this out carefully!
“What idea?” Shen Jun asked, grimly.
Shen Jiangqing didn’t share her thoughts for the time being, “Don’t ask so much, go and contact some ruthless desperados from the underworld, I have my uses for them.”
…
Upon finishing work, Ning Yichu hurried home, sending a message to Ningning at the first opportunity.
“Baby, Mommy’s off work; I’ll be home in half an hour.”
“Got it!” Ningning replied immediately and then scampered off to find Aunt Wang in the bathroom, “Granny Wang, Mommy’s off work, you can start cooking…”
Aunt Wang hung up the washed clothes and, with a smile, told Ningning to watch some TV in the living room.
Obediently nodding her small head, Ningning seated herself on the living room couch.
Aunt Wang picked an animated film for her and then busied herself in the kitchen.
In fact, for Ningning, the cartoon was overly childish. She only watched for a short while before losing interest, grabbed the remote control, and began flipping channels. She just happened to see a news flash—
Shengshi Group’s children’s clothing brand was recruiting child stars as national spokespeople!
