C17 I Am Helpless
"Yes..."
The CEO of Comobad hastened to explain, "Lee Moxue is an influential figure. Her business philosophy makes her an ideal partner for us, and..."
Wang Yunuo raised her hand, signaling the Comobad CEO to stop talking.
"Is she coming here later?"
The CEO answered, "Yes, General Wang. We just need to finalize the signing of the agreement..."
Wang Yunuo appeared indifferent. "Reject it. Tell them Comobad Group doesn't collaborate with anyone who's been kicked in the head as a child. Say it exactly like that. You know the consequences if you don't."
The Comobad CEO quickly agreed.
He now realized why this revered figure had come. Lee Moxue must have crossed her.
Lee Moxue might be a business savant, capable of generating substantial profits for Comobad.
But losing Lee Moxue wasn't the frightening part.
The terrifying prospect was offending the formidable presence before him.
Preserving his life was the priority...
Before long, Lee Moxue's stretch Lincoln pulled into the Comobad Group's parking lot.
Pointing at the impressive building, Lee Moxue said with a sly grin, "Chenglong, this is the Comobad Building. With just one word from me, they could give you a chance to work as a security guard here, earning ten thousand a month with ease."
Chu Chenglong shook his head, "I appreciate the offer, but I'm not interested in security work."
This exchange amused Chen Miaomiao and the driver to the point of belly laughs.
Then, a middle-aged man in uniform approached the car with a grim face and said to Lee Moxue, "Miss Lee, I'm here on behalf of Comobad to terminate your project. The reason is that our company refuses to work with someone who's been kicked in the head as a child. Please leave."
Lee Moxue flew into a rage. "What did you say?! Who do you think you are? I'm Lee Moxue, and even your CEO treats me with respect. Get your CEO here to apologize to me!"
The man outside responded sternly, "The CEO is currently unavailable to meet you. Please leave, or I will have to call security."
Lee Moxue was livid. "Damn it! How can Comobad be so pathetic? A project worth billions, just terminated on a whim. It's garbage! Useless! I don't even give a damn anymore!"
At that moment, a voice transmitted through the True Dragon earphones worn by someone outside.
After listening, the person addressed Lee Moxue, "Miss Lee, forget about the billion-dollar project. If you're interested, you can stay on with Comobad as a security guard. We'll pay you ten thousand yuan a month. Just say the word."
Lee Moxue was stunned, as were Chen Miaomiao and the driver.
Why did these words sound so eerily familiar?
Chen Miaomiao whispered a reminder, "Mom, you just called Chu Chenglong trash in the same way. Those two sentences are identical!"
Lee Moxue was taken aback.
That was true!
She had indeed hurled those insults at Chu Chenglong earlier.
One remark was about being kicked in the head as a child.
The other was about staying on at Comobad as a security guard for a month to make ten thousand yuan.
She looked at Chu Chenglong incredulously.
"Is it you? What have you done!?"
She shook her head and chuckled ruefully, "No, that can't be right. You've been in the car the whole time, little trash. You couldn't have managed this. Besides, you couldn't possibly wield enough influence to connect with the Comobad Group. This has to be a coincidence!"
Chen Miaomiao also spoke up nervously, "Right? It can't be Chu Chenglong. He's not that capable! Mom, what do we do now?"
Lee Moxue bit her lip and said, "Don't panic. There might have been a mistake somewhere. Let's head to the hotel first."
Upon reaching the hotel, Lee Moxue had Chu Chenglong book his own room.
She and Chen Miaomiao stayed in another room together.
Today, she faced the biggest setback of her life.
She was determined to uncover exactly what had happened!
She attempted to phone the CEO of Comobad Group.
But all she got was a busy signal.
This indicated that her number had been blocked by the CEO of Comobad Group.
"Damn this bastard!"
Lee Moxue was so enraged that she hurled her phone to the ground, shattering it instantly.
Meanwhile, Chu Chenglong was taking a break in his room.
"Thump, thump, thump!"
Out of the blue, there was a knock at his door.
He strode over and opened it to find a stunning silhouette swiftly moving behind him.
Soft hands playfully covered his eyes.
"Guess who, my little cutie?"
Chu Chenglong had a hunch.
Sure enough!
It was this woman stirring things up behind the scenes.
"Was it you who sabotaged my aunt's business deal?"
Wang Yunuo released her hands and chuckled, "Who else? I put a bug under her car. I heard every word you two said inside the car."
She added, "Let me make a suggestion. Just give me the nod, and I'll let them know that you're the puppet master behind all this."
Chu Chenglong immediately shook his head. "No way. They're my family. I can't betray them like that."
Wang Yunuo rubbed her temples, slightly vexed by Chu Chenglong's stubbornness.
"Oh, you're too stubborn for your own good. This would be beneficial for both you and them!"
But Chu Chenglong remained firm, "I appreciate everything you've done for me. However, as I've said before, I'm committed to our engagement, but I must find my father first! Only then can we get married."
Wang Yunuo sighed in resignation and left the room.
In the hallway, the secretary murmured in her ear, "Miss, why put yourself through this? You've done so much for him, yet he hardly seems grateful!"
"Mind your own business!"
Wang Yunuo shot her secretary a sharp glance, and the secretary promptly fell silent.
A moment later, Wang Yunuo spoke with determination, "I will make him into a true powerhouse! No one can stand in my way!"
The secretary felt a sense of resignation.
Clearly, her mistress was gearing up for a showdown with Chu Chenglong.
The difference now was that while her mistress's previous adversaries often met with dire fates, Chu Chenglong's life was set to soar to new heights because of her influence. He was destined to reach a pinnacle that many could only dream of, a level of success that could take generations to achieve!
Lee Moxue and Chen Miaomiao were in their room when Moxue suddenly received an unexpected message.
"Huh? Comobad has had a change of heart and now they want to resume our partnership!" she exclaimed.
Miaomiao, thrilled, leaned in closer. "Really, Mom? That's fantastic news!"
However, Moxue's reaction was far from pleased; she hurled her phone to the floor, shattering it.
"These jerks are playing games with me. They even have the nerve to set a condition—a condition that I bear a child for the CEO of Comobad. The nerve of that jerk! It's a good thing I never agreed to collaborate with them!"
Miaomiao's face hardened with resolve. "Well, it's a good thing we didn't join forces. But no worries. Once things with Lu Ling are settled, I'll make sure Comobad learns its lesson."
