“Mr. Li, please hold on a moment.” Shen Ning watched as Li Zhenting, who had risen without saying a word, attempted to leave. She immediately called out to him.

This despicable man was planning to escape after seeing her succeed. He intended to protect Shen Mei, but that was unacceptable!

Li Zhenting paused in his steps.

“Mr. Li, please come over here. There are some matters we need to resolve,” Shen Ning’s bright eyes sparkled with a mischievous smile.

He had promised her that if the tea gathering was successful, he would allow her to handle Shen Mei.

She couldn’t let him pretend nothing had happened and simply walk away.

Li Zhenting slowly turned around, his stoic figure now facing Shen Ning. Her delicate frame was immediately overshadowed by his tall and robust presence.

He stood at an impressive 1.88 meters, exuding an air of dignity and regality. He regarded Shen Ning with an imperious gaze, his body emitting a chilling aura.

Shen Ning couldn’t help but feel a little nervous. This man was like a demon, and she knew it all too well.

Nevertheless, she stood tall, her lips slightly pursed, and asked directly, “Mr. Li, may I inquire if tonight’s tea gathering was a success?”

Li Zhenting’s eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked at Jing Chenxi, who was standing nearby, before uttering coldly, “If you wish to think so, then consider it a success.”

“Then, let me ask the individuals present. After all, gaining the approval of everyone is persuasive.” Despite the reluctant affirmation, Shen Ning smiled coldly and turned to the audience.

“Success! A resounding success!” Even before she could ask, a wave of enthusiastic applause erupted from the audience. All the women clapped and chorused together.

“Thank you, everyone.” Shen Ning smiled faintly, turned around, and lifted her small face. She spoke seriously, “Mr. Li, tonight I have succeeded. You won’t forget the promise you made to me, will you?”

Li Zhenting’s gaze remained deep, and he remained silent.

Shen Mei, realizing that things weren’t looking good, tried to sneak away.

“Shen Mei, please stop.” Shen Ning kept a watchful eye on her and immediately spoke sternly when she turned to leave.

Shen Mei’s face turned pale.

“Zhenting, I’m sorry. As a shareholder of the company, when an employee raised concerns to me, I considered the company’s best interests and felt obligated to address the matter. Please believe me.” She approached Li Zhenting and tugged at his sleeve, her big watery eyes brimming with glistening tears.

Li Zhenting’s face remained stiff, devoid of any warmth.

“Shen Mei, are you truly acting in the company’s best interests? Please examine your conscience.” Shen Ning’s gaze turned icy. “Let me ask you this: During the time 1 was developing perfumes, the entire market couldn’t obtain any Peruvian balsam. Later, through my investigation, I found that a man with the last name Lan monopolized the entire market with the intention of preventing me from acquiring it. If it weren’t for Mr. Jing’s assistance, tonight’s tea gathering wouldn’t have been possible. I want to ask you, is this matter related to you?”

“I… I don’t know. 1 don’t know anyone named Lan,” Shen Mei’s eyes darted around nervously as she spoke.

“But that Mr. Lan is undoubtedly your cousin.” Shen Ning sneered.

Shen Mei was momentarily speechless. She hadn’t expected Shen Ning to be so thorough in her investigation.

Shen Ning continued to fix her piercing gaze on Shen Mei, whose eyes were avoiding hers.

“Shen Mei, you instructed someone to steal the small black bottle containing ethanol from my office and maliciously added formaldehyde to it, attempting to frame and destroy me during this tea gathering. These actions were witnessed by everyone here,” Shen Ning’s tone grew increasingly severe.

Shen Mei’s face turned even paler.

“Mr. Li, last time, Shen Mei splashed a highly corrosive liquid on my face, attempting to ruin my appearance. 1 had stated that I must seek revenge, and you had agreed. So, may I ask: Can I now deal with Shen Mei?” Shen Ning once again turned her gaze to Li Zhenting..
