Switched Marriage The Coddled Little Wife novel Chapter 129

Chapter 129: Chapter 129: Spurning the Offered Face

Li Jian saw the atmosphere growing increasingly tense and looked at Lin Chuxia with concern.

He saw that she was fearless, smiling slightly, "Director Liu, you’re joking. As you said, how could a small individual like me have such a big appetite? I’m just trying to make a living, and the formula is my capital for eating. I rely on it to eat. You wouldn’t deny me even this, would you?"

Director Liu’s eyes darkened as he looked at Lin Chuxia. A factory director personally coming to meet a small individual like Lin Chuxia was already giving her enough face.

Vice Director Feng was also someone he had invited. Was she not afraid of offending the Market Management Bureau and having a difficult path ahead?

"Is Mr. Lin indeed intent on embarrassing me, Mr. Liu?"

He almost spat out each word, clearly indicating the suppressed anger in his heart.

Lin Chuxia continued to maintain a polite smile, "Where on earth, Director Liu? I was hoping you would be generous to give me, a small individual, a way to survive..."

"Smash..."

The wine glass shattered as it hit the ground.

Director Liu stood up with a face full of anger and coldly dropped a sentence, "Truly ignorant of the ways of the world, unappreciative of kindness."

He left the private room without regard for anyone else’s face, leaving straightforwardly.

Gao Hui immediately stood up, gave Lin Chuxia a cold glance, and followed Director Liu.

The atmosphere in the private room reached freezing point the moment Director Liu slammed the glass. Su Wensong immediately stood up and shielded Lin Chuxia behind him.

Lin Chuxia toyed with the wine glass in her hands, listening to the footsteps fading away, carelessly chuckled lowly, and looked at the other two people.

"I’ve embarrassed Director Feng and Brother Li today with poor hospitality. Let’s change places and I’ll make it up to Director Feng with a few good drinks."

Li Jian spoke suitably, "Lin, this situation really isn’t good. It’s our first time sitting together with Director Feng, and this was indeed inappropriate. You deserve some punishment for this, Director Feng, don’t you think?"

Feng Kaiwei indeed wasn’t pleased, but he was displeased with Director Liu.

He had merely come today as a favor to the food factory from the bureau’s side. And there he was, storming off in a huff, completely disregarding the face of the mediator.

That’s the thing with state-owned enterprises; these people have lived too comfortably in the past.

Even with policy changes, they fail to see the situation clearly.

Still acting like they’re the lords.

Instead, the two young people here, whether it’s the woman Lin Chuxia or the young official Li Jian, were deft and adaptable.

He nodded, "Alright," finding a new interest in these two.

Lin Chuxia’s eyes brightened, gratefully glancing at Li Jian. Her brother really proved his strength today.

Without the lowering of status Li Jian facilitated today, she would truly not be in a position to invite Vice Director Feng.

She signaled Su Wensong to make arrangements.

The group moved to a small privately-owned restaurant. It wasn’t a big place, but the owner was very hospitable and the food tasted great.

Lin Chuxia and Su Wensong flattered Vice Director Feng, with Li Jian coordinating by their side. It was evident that Vice Director Feng was pleased with the meal.

After a fulfilling meal, Lin Chuxia had Su Wensong accompany Vice Director Feng for a while.

Watching him disappear into the night, Li Jian still felt a lingering fear and sighed, "Let’s try to have fewer of these situations in the future."

With Director Liu’s demeanor, if Lin Chuxia had shown any weakness, they really might not have been able to keep the formula.

And indeed, Lin Chuxia was astute; if it wasn’t for her perceptiveness, today could have not only offended Director Liu but possibly Vice Director Feng as well.
