"Professor Li," came Qin Feng's low voice.
"From now on, I'd like you to handle the nuclear power plant discussions personally."
Li Peiran frowned and glanced at Li Chuchu. "Mr. Qin, did Chuchu do something wrong?"
"This has nothing to do with your daughter. The nuclear power plant is a major undertaking, and I don't want uninvolved people taking part." Qin Feng's tone was strictly businesslike.
Li Peiran pondered for a few seconds, then smiled. "Yes, I understand what you mean, Mr. Qin. I'll do my utmost on the nuclear power plant."
The call ended.
Li Peiran's expression immediately darkened. He looked at Li Chuchu. "What did you do to Qin Feng?"
"What's wrong?"
"What do you think? Qin Feng said he wants me to handle the nuclear power plant personally. He doesn't want you involved!"
Li Peiran's face remained cold. He hadn't climbed to his current position by being a fool.
Qin Feng's nuclear power plant project was a major undertaking. If he handled it well, it would become a crowning achievement of his career.
A little romantic entanglement was naturally insignificant compared to his career.
He had thought his daughter had it in the bag, but now it seemed she had most likely been imagining things.
Li Chuchu was shocked and blurted out, "Impossible! Yesterday, I..."
Meeting her father's icy gaze, she swallowed the rest of her sentence.
Although her father usually doted on her, she knew perfectly well that it was because she had never crossed his bottom line.
Now, he was clearly taking Qin Feng's side.
Li Chuchu adopted a tearful expression. "Dad, I really didn't do anything. I only rode in Qin Feng's car yesterday."
"Just rode in his car?"
"...Yes." Li Chuchu gritted her teeth and lied.
Only then did Li Peiran's expression soften.
