Officialdom: The beautiful leader took me to the top

Li Ying continued, "If you, Li Dong, are willing to withdraw, I can return these connections and resources to you."

"You should know that the connections and resources I have cannot be bought with money, and you, Li Dong, will never have access to them in your lifetime."

"If you, Li Dong, want to rise to prominence, your ability alone is not enough, nor is my daughter's help behind the scenes. You need the support of a noble person."

"And I can do that for you!"

"I have made an appointment with Secretary Man Jiang tonight and will bring Nian Nian with me to visit you."

"As long as you agree to break up with my daughter peacefully, I can bring you with me to visit her."

"Tonight is a family dinner. If you, Li Dong, can sit at this table tonight, the benefits to you are self-evident."

"Once the news gets out, Secretary Man Jiang will become your backer."

"With a big boss backing you up, who in the whole Tianzhou would dare to touch you?"

"This is the fast track for you, Li Dong, to rise to the top. This is the confidence and bargaining chip for you, Li Dong, to speak up for the people!"

"I admit that if you stay with my daughter, you can also gain a lot of political resources."

"But compared to the benefits of this family dinner tonight, there are many more uncertainties on my daughter's side."

"Even if my daughter trusts you and relies on you now, what about the future?"

"Relationships have a shelf life. Can you guarantee that you and my daughter will love each other for the rest of our lives without any quarrels or dislike?"

"Even if your love doesn't deteriorate, it will take time for you, Li Dong, to achieve whatever heights you want."

"This process is very long and full of uncertainties."

"But tonight is different. As long as you, Li Dong, nod, the benefits will come immediately!"

Li Dong laughed. "The big boss's family dinner is what I, Li Dong, have always dreamed of."

"If it weren't for Auntie's recommendation, even if I, Li Dong, hit my head, I probably wouldn't be able to sit at the big boss's table."

"I also know that as long as I, Li Dong, can sit at the wine table tonight, I will definitely benefit greatly."

"But there is nothing I can do, Auntie. I am like a stone in a toilet, smelly and hard."

"I won't turn back until I hit the wall. Even if I hit the wall, I won't turn back."

"You're saying you don't want to make progress? That's lying with open eyes."

"But I have a strange temper. I am not interested in things that are easily available."

"I, Li Dong, like to fight for what I want myself, and I don't want to accept charity from others."

Li Ying mocked, "You really are just a poor person. I don't know what Xiao Ci sees in you!"

Li Dong smiled, "Yes, I, Li Dong, am poor at heart. I come from an ordinary family. My parents don't have much ability and are also ordinary people."

"They couldn't give me much of a future, nor could they provide me with life guidance, nor could they give me too many family resources to allow me to start far ahead of my peers."

"But they gave me the most precious thing, which is an unbending spine!"

"A real man eats while sitting down and pees while standing up."

"Kneeling to eat and squatting to pee, doesn't that make you a woman?"

Li Ying's face flushed, "Vulgar! Vulgar! Rude!"

Li Dong asked back, "It's just an analogy, is it vulgar?"

"They say it's better to demolish a temple than to ruin a marriage."

"Do you know how much Senior Sister has paid to give Nian Nian a healthy and happy environment to grow up? Do you know how much injustice she has suffered?"

"You didn't ask any questions, didn't ask what Senior Sister wanted, and didn't ask what Nian Nian wanted, and just forced it on me."

"They claim to be doing this for their own good, but what is the reality?"

"You are doing this to make up for the debt you feel, to make up for the guilt you've felt over the years, and to make yourself feel better!"

"You feel comfortable in your heart, but have you ever considered whether what you are imposing is what they want?"

Li Ying finally broke down and threatened, "Li Dong! How dare you!"

As Li Ying finished speaking, the door of the study was suddenly pushed open!

Several men who looked like bodyguards rushed in, all of them looking at him with a fierce look in their eyes!

Especially the foreign man, with his solid muscles, which pushed up the shirt under his suit high, showing his explosive power!

It seemed as if if Li Dong dared to move the slightest, he would be killed on the spot!

Li Dong stood there motionless, just like Li Ying, without giving in at all!

Li Ying's anger subsided, "Get out!"

After the bodyguards left, she sneered, "No one has dared to talk to me like this in all these years!"

Li Dong said: "Auntie, although I am a junior, I also have a temper."

"You can't ask me to hit you without fighting back, right?"

Li Ying asked: "So, we have nothing to talk about now?"

Li Dong replied: "Auntie, in fact, before you asked me to come here, you should have expected this answer."

"Am i right?"

Li Ying nodded, "Yes, I expected this result."

"But you are the man Xiao Ci likes after all. I don't want to break up with Xiao Ci because of you, so I still want to make a final effort."

Li Dong bowed and said, "I'm sorry, Auntie, I disappoint you."

Li Ying reminded, "It doesn't matter if you disappoint me, because of you, Xiao Ci and I are at loggerheads. Is this the result you want to see?"

Li Yao smiled and said, "Auntie, your hat is too big. I can't afford it."

"Even if I, Li Dong, weren't there, the relationship between you and Senior Sister would still be like fire and water, right?"

"On the contrary, if you give me some time, I can help you mend your mother-daughter relationship."

"But if you insist on pushing Guo Zhenghong to my side, I'm afraid there will never be a chance for the mother-daughter relationship between you to improve!"

Li Ying was curious, "Are you so confident in yourself?"

Li Dong asked back, "Do you have so little confidence in my senior sister's judgment?"

Li Ying did not answer, but asked: "So, you are not going to go with me to the big boss's family dinner tonight?"

Li Dong stood up and said, "I, Li Dong, will take care of the matter between Senior Sister and Nian Nian."

"Don't even mention you bringing in Secretary Man Jiang. Even if you bring in the Nine Heavens Gods and Buddhas, I won't step back!"

"Auntie, I have said everything that needs to be said. I will not stay and disturb you."

"If Auntie has nothing else to do, I'll leave first!"

Li Ying didn't stay, and Li Dong left without any hesitation.

But when leaving, the foreign bodyguard deliberately blocked Li Dong's way.

Li Dong stood there, "What do you mean?"

The man spoke in broken Mandarin, "I heard you're quite famous, is there a chance for us to compete?"

Li Dong nodded, "Anytime!"

As soon as the words came out, the two men passed by each other.

After Li Dong left, he knocked on the door of the study in front of him.

"Boss, this man has made you angry time and again. Let me teach him a lesson!"

Li Ying sighed, "What he just said is right. This matter cannot be left to outsiders to solve."

"If I do this, my daughter will hate me forever!"

"Guo Zhenghong is riding on my face now. I want to see if he can bear this!"
