Chapter 973

That’s right, it was none other than Melody Fox.

She watched as Shi Kai walked towards the elevator and then glanced coldly at Liu Gaoyi.

From the moment Shi Kai woke up and kowtowed to Melody Fox, to the moment Shi Kai shouted “Mrs. Swanson”, to the moment Shi Kai said goodbye to Melody Fox, Liu Gaoyi was stunned the entire time. His mind was blank, and he did not know how to deal with the next scene.

How could he have not known that Melody Fox, whom he called a charlatan, was the legal wife of Eldest Young Master of the Swanson Group, whom all of them had been waiting for!

Melody Fox looked up and saw Liu Gaoyi’s expression as if he had seen a ghost. His originally small eyes were now extremely huge, and his rapidly shrinking pupils could be clearly seen.

It was obvious that he was surprised after learning his identity.

No, it should be said that he was shocked.

He did not move at all and stood rooted to the ground. Coincidentally, Shi Kai passed by Liu Gaoyi.

Shi Kai stopped in his tracks and took a deep look at Liu Gaoyi. His gaze clearly said, “Look, I knew Mrs. Swanson wouldn’t chicken out at the last minute. She’s really here!” Liu Gaoyi’s already ugly expression instantly became even uglier.

Shi Kai felt refreshed.

However, this refreshing feeling could not suppress the feeling of breaking down when he was so angry that he vomited blood.

When he thought about how Liu Gaoyi had almost killed him, Shi Kai’s brows furrowed.

He raised his voice and said, “Manager Liu, I won’t argue with you about what happened just now, but since I have to rest for a while, please assist Mrs. Swanson in signing this project. If there’s anything, we’ll settle it later.”

“Hehe, President Shi, don’t worry and go rest. It’s not my first day in the office. I know what to do. You should care about your health.”

Liu Gaoyi squeezed the words out of his mouth.

Shi Kai let out a cold snort from the tip of his nose and was finally willing to leave completely.

As soon as Shi Kai left, Liu Gaoyi shamelessly came to Melody Fox with a different expression.

“Mrs. Swanson, I was blind just now and didn’t recognize you. Please forgive me! You’re a magnanimous person. You definitely won’t lower yourself to the level of an ant like me, right?”

Assistant Hou gritted his teeth.

Here we go again!

Liu Gaoyi was used to speaking like this. No one could punish him. If they did, it would be equivalent to scolding themselves.

After all, if a dog bit you, you couldn’t bite it back, right? Moreover, he had already admitted that he was an ant. If they continued to make things difficult for him, it would be petty. The company would spread rumors that they were bullying Liu Gaoyi.

How many times had CEO Shi and him suffered because of this?

Assistant Hou could not help but look at Melody Fox sympathetically.

Mrs. Swanson couldn’t do anything to such a shameless person, right?

Melody Fox said coldly…-

“In my eyes, you’re worse than an ant. I’m indeed too lazy to lower myself to your level.”

Liu Gaoyi chuckled. It was obvious that he was not angry at Melody Fox at all.

This was how thick-skinned people were. Otherwise, why would there be a saying that said, “When a person is despicable, they are invincible”?

However, in the next second, Melody Fox spoke again, “If I was bitten by an ant on the road, I wouldn’t be stupid enough to quarrel with an ant. I would only… step on him to death.”

Towards the end, Melody Fox’s voice suddenly turned cold. Liu Gaoyi’s smile froze on his face.

Now it was Melody Fox’s turn to laugh.

She stared at Liu Gaoyi and said with a smile, “Is that so, Manager Liu?”

The corners of Liu Gaoyi’s mouth twitched, and he squeezed out the word “yes” from between his teeth.

They did not come with good intentions.

At the very least, she was more difficult to deal with than Shi Kai.

However, on second thought, although the other party had the title of Mrs. Swanson, she was still a country bumpkin at heart. Not only did she not have any ink in her stomach, but her mind was probably filled with idiocies.

Why should he be afraid of such a good-for-nothing? It was just a bluff!

He could not be intimidated by a few words from a little girl.

She was just glib-tongued. If she could not successfully sign the project, she would still cry!

Moreover, her visit to the company this time meant that Ken Swanson had come to the company.

If the project failed, it meant that Ken Swanson had failed.

If there was an important project in the future, would the chairman still hand it over to the couple without any scruples like this time?

From a small perspective, although this failure would not completely shake their foundation, the trust the chairman had in them would be on the verge of collapse because of this failure. If it happened again or twice, the building they trusted would completely collapse.

In the chairman’s heart, the second young master was the most suitable person to inherit the Swanson Group’s headquarters.

After the Second Young Master took over,, Liu Gaoyi, would become a great contributor.

The more Liu Gaoyi thought about it, the happier he felt. He completely disregarded Melody Fox.

It was precisely because of this that he had completely forgotten Melody Fox’s warning.

Liu Gaoyi smiled and said, “You’re right. If you can’t stand something, just kill it. Could it be that a small ant that came out of some cave is more precious than us?”

If it were anyone else, they might think that Liu Gaoyi was degrading himself or flattering Melody Fox.

However, Melody Fox, who had always been looked down upon because of her upbringing, did not even need to think to know that Liu Gaoyi was scolding her. “I wonder which cave this little ant came from.”

Tsk…

This Liu Gaoyi was really courting death.

Even if Ulric Swanson was in front of her now, he would not mock her background.

After all, no matter where a hero came from, Ulric Swanson, who had suffered at her hands a few times and tried all means to harm her, had never succeeded. How could he dare to underestimate her?

He probably wanted her to die immediately because of her ability, right?

Melody Fox smirked.

The more he didn’t take her seriously, the worse the outcome would be.

“President Liu is really… young and impetuous.”

Liu Gaoyi looked at Melody Fox’s gaze and felt unhappy again.

It was that look again!

Did this damn woman really think that she had become a real phoenix just because she flew up the branch?

A sparrow was still a sparrow!

However, Liu Gaoyi was still a smart person.

He was dissatisfied, but he did not show it on his face. He even smiled and made a “please” gesture to Melody Fox. “I’m not young anymore. I’m working hard for the future of the company. Please, let’s talk about this project in the conference room upstairs.”

Melody Fox raised her eyebrows and said, “Then let’s go! Tell everyone in the lobby to disperse. Just go about their business. Don’t mind me. I don’t like to be surrounded by too many people. Just let people related to the project come.”

“Okay, Mrs. Swanson.”

Liu Gaoyi nodded in agreement, but he despised Melody Fox even more in his heart.

What did he mean by not liking to be surrounded by too many people? He was not used to being surrounded, right? The total number of people in the village she grew up in was probably less than half of the people in their branch. office!

She was really a village girl who had never seen the world!
